Here goes nothing

If you have me on Facebook, you will know about and probably laugh at my resent posts,on food struggle, and trying to learn how to use my FITTNESS pal app. Cleaning up my diet to say the least, all while trying to battle a temporarily out of wack thyroid, that just keeps whispering " I'm hungry" .




Today was day one of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, and man does that woman make it look easy. I figured since riding a bike right after dinner was a nogo, then perhaps a little workout before breakfast was a genius idea. Well.....genius wasn't the word, I'm clearly in need of getting into shape because I still felt beat, but at least i didn't feel the need to vomit. Not even 3 hrs after my body still feels like jello, and the soreness Has kicked in. I owned that work out, but I have a feeling she will be owning me in the morning.
I'm not a sucker for punishment, but I treated myself to a nice 45mn brisk walk tonight as well with good friend. Here's to shedding lbs and getting that " feel good " back. Plus, I don't want to be all out of breath chasing my kids, they should be out of breath chasing me.

Round is still a shape right?

"I chunky-dunk, not skinny-dip"

I was going to start my diet today but I started my period instead, and all things sweet and sugary happened ;( (April 11th)
Round is still a shape right?
I'm out of breath as I type this.*Oreo crumbles down my chin
Luna is creeping on 1 yr old, I've got to do something about this mushy middle ;(
Is it crazy that I have NEVER worked out in my life? I mean nothing serious like running, cycling, joining a gym or even doing this like slim fast or weight watchers, Jenny craig and the list continues.
I'm 5'1 ish 163lbs and feeling sluggish and sloppy. It doesn't help I'm not happy with the shape I'm in, as well as stresses, food is my comfort, till I look down and realize I'm pregnant with a food baby.*sigh, so I grab the nearest bag of chocolates in all my angst, and the cycle continues. But tomorrow I'm making changes! I see PX90 floating around the Internet, but I didnt say I wanted to commit suicide I just wanna shed some weight, to get that " feel good" back. So I'm going to start slow, possible the Jillian Michael's 30day shred? With a diet change. Im looking to shed about 15lbs. I purchased a bike last week, haven't been on one of those since I was a kid, bikes are great exercise right? Yeah, so I take it for a spin around the block right after dinner ( big mistake) i made it around the block once before I had to do the walk of shame all the way back home completely winded! Breathing all hard, and I immediately knew why people vomit after an intense work out, except I didn't do an intense workout.
*rubs belly
I need to figure out this ' my FITTNESS app' thing, I hear great results happening. Now only if I can remember to log in and be disciplined enough in the food area....hmmmmm.....
So I'm going to start my diet change tomorrow.......for real this time......
*takes bite of cupcake.

A little less toys, and a lot less noise

We have been spending a lot of time outdoors lately, when the weather permits. No electronics, and a lot less toys. We bring books from the library onto our blanket, and enjoy a picnic style luncheon, or go to the park with our bug catcher and a note book to write down our observations. It's a free for all I tell you. As for myself, I just capture the day away.

Dead ends

I adore my long hair, I honestly do, it's the longest it's been since high school. Safe to say its one of the perks of pregnancy that Luna passed to me. My hair is LONG, but dried out :( it has little to no curl left, is drier than a haystack and is never done 80% of the time, because I have no time. So I hesitantly decided on a 'new do' and I love it. Healthy hair is here !

AFTER

So prior to entering the salon,we decided to 'trim' Omri's hair as well. Having an almost 3 year old with hair down to her rump, has posed its challenges, after her seeing me handle my cut like a champ, she was next !

AFTER

We are happy with our new do's and happily get in the car, only to realize the Evelyn now want a matching cut......so mommy grabs the scissors and plays hairdresser.
