Friday, Friday!!!!!

Sorry I missed my post yesterday but I was just so tired.  I went to bed about an hour after the trio last night & after my shower.  I did get my work out in yesterday & today so I got my 5x a week completed so I can take off working out this weekend if I feel like it & not feel bad about it, or I can fit in extra if I want.  My eating yesterday was thrown off b/c I had to go to a meeting at City Hall in the AM then pick the twins up from school.  But this is what I ate yesterday.

Breakfast:
coffee w/ cream & sugar

Lunch:
2 banana's

Dinner:
Home made ground meat w/ taco seasoning w/ macaroni noodles & Velveeta cheese.

So today after I did my run I took my shower & was going to get dressed before having to go pick up the twins & since the two pair of jeans I have that I bought after my singleton pregnancy were falling off of me when I put them on I was curious if my other jeans in my closet would fit.  GUESS what?!?!?!??!?! I am wearing my pre-twin pregnancy jeans............ YEAH!!!!!  I'm so excited I can scream.  I still have lots of work to do I need to loose about 60-70 more lbs, but this is a great start.  The only thing I really have different that I didn't have pre-twin pregnancy is this overlapping FUPA (belly) it's like this extra skin just hanging there.  I'm really hoping that w/ time & more weight loss that it will finally disappear or something, but I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to get plastic surgery to have the extra skin removed.  Has anyone had this experience from pregnancies & it went away w/ more weight loss.. Please tell me yes, b/c I'm so self conscious about it & it's so disgusting. 

Anyways, here is my meals for today:

Breakfast:
coffee w/ cream & sugar
green monster smoothie

Lunch:
Tuna salad sandwich

Dinner:
slice of pizza.

Since it's Friday I probably won't get on again till Monday but I'll try.. So until next time..........

This is going to be a fast post b/c my show Criminal Minds is on.  So I have to watch my baby on TV...  Anyways I got my workout in this morning & normally I thought running was suppose to make you relaxed, but not in my case when the twins are running a muck.  OMG, try yelling at the top of your lungs while you're trying to concentrate on breathing & getting thru the mile.  It's not easy, but I did it. 

Then after my workout I took the twins in for their flu shots & yes I ventured out myself with the trio & it's wasn't that bad.  I had one lady look at me & say "Boy, you have your hands full." 

So here is my meals for today.

Breakfast:
coffee w/ cream & sugar
green monster smoothie

Lunch:
1.5 cups of home made mashed potatoes
can of Healthy Choice chicken & rice soup

Dinner:
2 Italian sausages
12 Tatar tots
bowl of Brussels sprouts.

Snacks:
I gave in... Buckeye ice cream

Until next time.................

PS. I'm still looking for a job. I guess I didn't do well on the phone interview b/c I never heard back from the guy :-(  I'm kinda disappointed b/c I felt really good about this one.  There is & always was one big problem I SUCK at job interviews.  I am better at showing my qualities & not talking about them.

Today was a decent day.  I am proud to say that those 2lbs I gained over the weekend putting me back at 265 were gone this morning plus one.  So I was at 262 this morning.  That made me feel so much better about missing my workouts this weekend, but I will try not to do it again.  I have to do my 5x's a week routine. 

I really don't have much to report today but I was able to complete my running today.  I also ate good, except I think I ate alittle to much at dinner today.  Here is my meals for today:

Breakfast:
Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Green monster smoothie

Lunch:
2 cups of roasted Brussels sprouts

Dinner:
I am pretty proud of this meal, I brought it together on my own.
Penni noodles w/ Italian sausage, green peppers, asparagus, Onion & olive oil.

So until next time...........................

Alittle behind

Ok, so I had a bad & lazy weekend.  Lazy as in I DID NOT work out like I was suppose too & didn't feel like getting on the computer at all, so I didn't track my meals either & the scale showed me my consequences b/c of this, I gained 2lbs.  Anyways, I'm going to put that past me & get myself back on track.  I did really good today & I got my workout in.  Oh & I did work out on Friday it took allot of encouragement on my part but I did. 

So today while right after my run I checked the monitor to see if the kids were sleeping cuz I kept hearing lots of noise coming from up there & while looking at the boys room I say these legs sticking straight up on the changing table (the crib has a table/dresser attached to it) & I freaked out thinking it was Jake & something happened to him.  I ran as fast as I could up the stairs & opened the door to find that it was his teddy bear but my little 14 month old wasn't in his crib or room but in his sister room.  He figured out how to climb out of his dang crib.  I'm so NOT ready for him to be in a bed yet even though we did put the twins in beds around 16 months (to free up a crib for when Jake arrived).  I kept putting him back in bed & he kept climbing out.  I gave up & brought him downstairs.  So both boys did not nap so it was a hell of a afternoon. 

Anyhow, enough of them.  Here is my meals for today:

Breakfast:
coffee w/ cream & sugar
green monster smoothie

Lunch:
2-3 pieces of ham

Dinner:
Baked chicken breast w/ seasoning
Home made mashed potatoes w/ garlic & sea salt
Steamed green beans

I stayed under my calorie intake for the day.  Hopefully when I get on the scale tomorrow morning for my weigh in it'll show these 2lbs gone cuz I was feeling bloated really bad this morning.  I'll be somewhat happy if I stayed the same as last week. 

Until next time.

Day after Thanksgiving

Well I was hung over yesterday & did not workout :-(  I really didn't eat much until it was time for a great turkey dinner.  I went over to my parents house w/ the trio about 11am & helped them clean a bit & then the kids napped & then it was go time at 3pm.  We enjoyed turkey, candied sweet potato's, Brussels sprouts, stuffing, green bean casserole & a glass of White Zinfandel.  It was all so good.  Then I cleaned up & my brother & sister in-law & their kids came over & the kids played.  We got home about 7:30 & everyone went to bed.  I was in bed myself around 9:30. 

I am currently sitting here today trying to motivate myself to get my workout in once the kids go down for a nap.  I did put my workout clothes on & in a sort of way I'm ready to go (after seeing the scale this morning it was 3lbs up), but my mind is also trying to convince me otherwise.  So I have about an hour to get that out of my head & hop on the treadmill.  We'll see how that goes & I'm hoping that I can report good news later. 

After the kids wake up depending on if the weather cooperates we'll be heading to my parents again to go to Strongsville square & see the Christmas lighting & Santa & his reindeer.  Right now it's sunny & pretty decent outside, but that's suppose to change later today just not sure when.  But it'll be another long night for the trio b/c the lighting ceremony is from 5-8:30 & their bed time is 7:30.  Then tomorrow my mommy group has a gathering at Petites around noon & Santa will be riding in on a fire truck.  Then it's Ohio State -vs- Michigan..... Goooooo BUCKEYES!!!!  Then Sunday is Steelers -vs- Browns...... Gooooo Steelers.  It's a big weekend here in Ohio & hoping the best teams win.  I will be looking forward to Monday to hopefully get to relax (LOL). 

Also I'm still waiting & hoping & fingers crossed that I here from the phone interview I had earlier this week.  Still no email for a 2nd interview, but I keep telling myself it could be b/c of the holiday & I hope that is the reason.  This job just sounds so promising & I really think it'll be a good fit for me.  Then again I told myself if it doesn't happen then God knows that it really wasn't for me & I have to look at that & go back to the drawing broad of searching again.  I mean I still search but in the back of my head I'm hoping. 

Well until next time........................

Bar night!!

Tonight is the biggest bar night of the year, yes bigger then New Years Eve.  I am hoping to find a baby sitter so I can enjoy alittle bit of it. 

Well I already got my workout in for today & feel good about it.  The running part was alittle hard & I didn't think I was going to finish but I kept pushing myself & was able to accomplish it.  That is one thing I have to say about myself is that I am good at finishing what I started & I've always been good about being able to push myself to the end once I start.  Maybe that's one reason why I excelled at all the sports I played.  This is definitely a awesome quality that I picked up from my parents, they always taught us not to quit & never give up.  You never know if you can do it if you don't try, right?!?!?!??! 

So I ran at 5 mph for 20 mins & then 30 mins at 3.5 mph w/ an incline of 8.  I'm not sure what is in store for tonight so don't know if I'll make it on the computer later, so I'm going to update my breakfast & lunch menu but not sure what I'm making for dinner yet (haven't thought that far in advance).  Tomorrow we'll be going to my parents for an awesome Thanksgiving dinner,which I still have to decide what I'm going to make as a side dish. My goal is to workout again tomorrow morning before all the festivities start.  Ok, now here is my meals for today.

Breakfast: (the usual)
Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Green Monster smoothie

Lunch: (left overs):
half chicken breast & roasted potato's

Dinner:
Pending........

Until next time............... Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Productive day

Today was a busy but great day.  I took the trio to a park around 10am to meet up w/ Pam & her kiddo's.  We stayed there for about 3 hours.  This park was awesome it is so huge & the best part is it's made specially for kids with special needs.  It's named after a kid named Preston that had SMA.  Here is the link...

Preston's H.O.P.E

The kids had so much fun and that's all that matters in life now a days. 

So we left there around 1pm & since I was so close to where I use to work I decided to go & say "Hi" to some old co-workers.  We finally got home about 2pm & I put the kids down for a nap.  I debated on working out & I did convince myself to wait & do it tonight but I'm so happy I finally said "screw it" and went in the basement and got my 30 mins of walking at 3.5 w/ an incline between 8-10 & then ran at 5 for 20 mins.  I'm soooo happy I did, b/c I know I wouldn't have felt like it now.  Anyways Joey didn't nap & Jake & Addi finally fell asleep about 40 mins into my workout but only slept for about 30 mins before my awesome dogs woke them up w/ their barking.  So to say the least the rest of the day was pure HELL w/ all the whining.  They are in bed fast asleep now (thankfully).  I still need to go take a shower cuz I didn't get to after my workout. 

Anyways, here is my following meals for today. 

Breakfast:
Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Green monster smoothie

Lunch:
PB&J
Mont's fruit snacks

Dinner: (which I almost couldn't make w/ two kids crying & hanging onto my leg the whole time)
Chicken breast
roasted white potato's w/ onion soup mix
Steamed green beans & veggie melody. 

I am enjoying a beer right now b/c I desperately needed it today (and it tastes awesome, let me tell you).  I'm also waiting for that email from the company I interviewed w/ on Monday.  Please, please, please make this happen.  I truly think that it will workout for me & this is exactly what I need. 

Well until next time...................

Ps... Here is an updated picture I've been promising & it's still very embarrassing.

Heavy Heart

I had to post somewhere b/c yesterday a friend of mine from high school passed away & I just cannot get it out of my head.  She had two children one alittle older & the other one about the twins age (3). It just makes me sad cuz in reality she was still to young to die so soon, but also to know that life is the unknown.  You just never know what is store for you an hour, a minute from now.  So you do TRULY have to live every moment like it is your last.  Live is to precious. 

On a brighter note I am so happy to get on the scale this morning & it read 263, Wahoo.....  I will update later tonight. 

Until next time......

Monday, Monday

I didn't work out today for several reason.  I had a phone interview this morning (which I felt went very well, please keep your fingers crossed I'm hoping for good things). Since I had an interview I had to take the trio to my parents so I could go sit in my car & have a peaceful no interruptions call.  So we stayed for lunch & then the kids went down for a nap & I blew my parents leaves for them.  That took about two hours & many blisters later.  So I got a nice arm workout from that.

I think I might have strep.  In my 37 years I never had strep throat but for the past few days my throat has been sore & not getting better & when I looked at it this morning I saw white spots on the back of my throat.  Other then the sore throat & spots I've had no other symptoms so who knows.  I originally thought it was from sitting in front of the fire Friday night breathing that in.  If it's not better by Wednesday then I will call the doctor & get a culture so I can get on antibiotics if need be. 

Well that's about all my excitement for today.  I will post my meals for today.  Tomorrow I am taking the kids to a park w/ my BFF & her kiddo's then hopefully get back by nap time so I can work out while they nap. 

So here are my meals.

Breakfast:
Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Green monster smoothie

Lunch:
Very small corn beef sandwich
2 cups of butter popcorn (couldn't help it, it was calling my name)

Dinner:
Mac & Cheese w/ ground meat & Onion mix (2 cups)

Until next time...............

Feeling better

I thankfully got my workout in today & I feel much better.  I did 30 mins at 8 incline & 3.5 mph then I ran for 20 mins at 5 mph.  I really don't have much else to say, maybe I"ll log on later if something comes across.  My 2.5 year old son has driven me to my insanity leaves today.  But here is my meals for today.

Breakfast:
coffee w/ cream & sugar
green monster smoothie

Lunch:
cheddar gold fish

Dinner:
left over lasagna

Well until next time... I've got a screaming 13 month old & my head is pounding, UGH I need a break.

Mad at myself

The reason I am mad at myself is as you know I already had my two days off of my workouts so I had to workout this weekend.  Well I did not work out today & feeling alittle sluggish & disappointed in myself.  I was planning on just kicking back & laying low this weekend & not having any drinks but plans changed after dinner last night & we ended up having a fire in the back yard & neighbors over so I ended up drinking & a few to many cuz I was slightly hung over today. 

So, besides that I am alittle depressed today for reasons I really don't wanna go into.  Yesterday while I was running I had to stop on the 2nd round b/c I started crying.  I cried b/c I got a text from my husband saying that I should see about going back to HOC in January if I cannot find another job by then.  OMG, I want to go back to work but I DO NOT want to ever go back there.  I was completely miserable & was way under appreciated for the work I did.  But thankfully I told him I won't go there & he accepted that.  I will work hard to find a job soon.  Later that day I ended up getting an email from a place I sent my resume to for an Office Manager/HR Generalist & I have a phone interview set up for 10am Monday.  Please send prayers. 

Anyhow, I have kept track of my meals yesterday & today.  Here they are:

Breakfast:
Friday: Coffee w/ cream & sugar & green monster smoothie
Saturday: Same thing

Lunch:
Friday: Steamed carrots & asparagus
Saturday: Corned beef sandwich

Dinner:
Friday: Porgies & corn
Saturday: Lasagna (homemade)

My sister started her Insanity workout today & said it was awesome & crazy.  I cannot wait to start mine along with my running then I should feel GREAT.  Then I'll have to work on other areas in my life that need serious improving. 

Well until tomorrow...............

Haven't been able to update lately.  But nothing to exciting has been going on or nothing really to report.  I missed my workout Wednesday cuz I had that interview which sucked.  It ended up being sales in the insurance industry & I'm not for sales.  I cannot sell someone my leg if I had to.  So after the presentation that lasted 2 hours I left.  Then I was just wasn't very productive the rest of the day.  I did work out yesterday & I'm planning on working out again today after the twins go to school. 

I have to update my weight but I'm not sure if it changed from last week.  It's 266 so I'm not sure if it was 268 last time or 266 so I either lost 2lbs again or stayed the same, but after the past weekend & drinking I probably didn't loose.  I'm not going to drink at all this weekend cuz I already used my 2 days off from working out so I have to workout this weekend & plus I don't feel like drinking.  I'm going to lay low w/ my kiddo's & hubby. 

I'm feeling pretty good though & can see the weight loss results in the mirror (which reminds me I have to get a picture update).  I still need to remember to take my measurements so I can start keeping track of inches I may be loosing.  I know that you can still loose inches even if the scale stays the same sometime, so I want to keep track. 

Well I gotta go get the twins ready for preschool & they are running around screaming so I will "try" to update again later on. 

Until next time....................

Alright here is the my meals for today.  I was really busy around lunch time & wasn't hungry so I didn't eat (I know, I know not good). 

Breakfast

Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Green Monster Smoothie

Lunch

Monster energy drink

Dinner

Spaghetti w/ Italian sausage & sauce & two garlic breads

Snack

Milky Way

I am still under my calories for the day.  I do regret eating that candy bar now, but I was craving chocolate.  I will have to work it off tomorrow.  Oh & speaking of my post from yesterday about the Insanity Workout DVD my sister is going to get it & we are going to do it together.  I cannot wait to just get in shape & feel much better. 

Also in regards to my earlier post I got a call back on that job & I have an interview tomorrow morning.  I'm really hoping that this is something worth my time & that it's something I might enjoy doing & that I do good with the interview, b/c I usually suck at interviews.  I wish I was more outgoing & can think fast on my feet when needed.  Just please wish me luck, I need this.  I just wish my husband would support me on this too.  He wants me to go back to the City but in all honesty I don't want to.  I did not enjoy it and for 7 years I was stuck with the same pathetic title and couldn't do anything about it (this is where I really regret not getting a college education).  I told him I want to do something I enjoy doing, something I will look forward to getting up in the morning everyday and going to.  I don't want to go back to something for 30 more years that I totally regret and hate cuz I'll be miserable.  I want to go somewhere I can show my ability & be respected and acknowledged for the work I do.  I wish he'd see that & just support me in my ideas for once. 

So for the interview tomorrow I have absolutely nothing to wear.  I have my maternity dress pants & I've lost about 20lbs since I last wore them (they were big then) so I'm afraid it's going to look frumpy on me.  I did have two pairs of non-maternity dress pants that may be big on me but not like my other ones but when I quit work to become a SAHM I gave them to my sister which now lives in Colorado, so please, please make something in my closet fit decently. 

Well I'm going to end this here & call it a night early.  Until next time............

Much Better

I'm feeling much better.. I got my workout in already for the day.  Thankfully Jake needed to take his morning nap so I just brought the twins downstairs with me & was able to do my 30 mins at 3.5mph w/ an incline between 8-10.  Then ran my mile at 5mph for 12 mins then ran another 3 mins at 5.2.  Now all I have to do is take my shower & relax during the trio's nap time.  I love when that happens.

I got a phone call from a place I submitted my resume to last week & I returned his call last Thursday & Friday but he never called back so I thought maybe he changed his mind but while I was running today he called again & apologized for last week he had to go out of town all of sudden so he is still interested in my resume & wants me to call him back, so I'll do that when the kids are sleeping b/c there is no way I can make an important phone call like that when they are awake.  Hopefully it's something worth returning to work.  I have come to a very ruff decision and realized that working out of the house is more my style as much as I love the freedom and being with my kids I wanna go back to the work force.  I miss it (scary, huh??).  The only thing is when I mentioned this one time Joey overheard me and got really upset about me going back to work.  He said "Mom, don't leave please don't leave me." That in itself was heart breaking but I need my time away.  Also I like having the extra money to spend on stuff for myself.  Right now I don't have that or I have to ask Chris for permission to spend money on something & I don't like it.  Plus it'd be nice to give the kids a better Christmas.  If I return back to work we can move into a bigger house & better neighborhood w/ good school districts faster then if I was to continue being a SAHM.  We'll see what happens, please keep your fingers crossed for me. 

Alright well I have to get the kids lunch ready.  I will update my meals tonight.  Until next time. 

PS... There are tiny snow flakes falling today, UGH!!  It was in the 60's the last three days & now it's 31, welcome to Ohio!

Slacker

Yes please call me a slacker cuz I just realized I haven't updated since Thursday.  I have no excuse either.  I did work out on Friday.  I ended up going to visit my parents after I picked up the twins from school & then when I got home it was dinner time & then we just hung with the kids the rest of the night.  Saturday I didn't work out (but this weekend was my days off since I did my 5x a week already), but I did sweep/mop floors & cleaned my houses 1st floor.  Then I went out drinking that night, I had allot to drink but I wasn't wasted b/c I remember what I did that night.  So then Sunday was a lazy day.  Just played with the kids outside & gave them a bath that night other then that just sat around hung over, LOL. 

So today the kids & I met up w/ my BFF Pam & her two kiddo's and went to the Rain Forest for a couple hours.  We were hoping to make it into the main Zoo for a bit before the rain hit but that didn't work out.  We ended up getting home around 12:45 & I put the kids down for a nap & could have worked out, but I wore my running shoes to the Rain Forest & the kids & I got drenched walking back to the car so my shoes were soaking wet & I really didn't want to run in wet shoes, so I decided that today is going to be one of my "skip" days.  I feel bad though & really wanted to workout.  I did stick to my diet & ate healthy.  Here is what my meals consisted of. 

Breakfast:
Coffee - 3 cups w/ cream & sugar
Green Monster Slime smoothie

Lunch:
PB&J on wheat (ate at the rain forest)

Dinner:
Stuffed chicken breast (homemade) stuffed w/ stuffing & cheese.
Steamed asparagus
tad of mashed potato's. 

So my friend brought up this workout video called Insanity & I was curious and looked it up.

Insanity Workout

She told me about one of her friends that did this workout faithfully 5x a week for a month and lost 40 lbs.  I'm trying to get some real reviews & see if it's worth the investment or not cuz it does look pricey.  If anyone knows anything about this or have any input on your thoughts please comment & let me know if it's worth it or any problems or whatever.  I heard it's very, very intense. 

Well I'm going to go research it more & see what I can come up with.  Until next time............

Another day......

I wasn't able to get on yesterday b/c it was really bad night for me & again that's another story for another time.  I'm just feeling depressed lately & like my life is going no where.  It feels like the only thing I have to live for is my three awesome children. It just feels like everyone is moving forward & doing new exciting stuff & I'm just stuck where I'm at.  Even though I haven't mentally or physically been feeling up to much I was able to get my work out in yesterday & today.  I did my 30 mins of 3.5 at a incline of up to 10 & ran for 20 mins at 5.0mph. 

I am feeling pretty good w/ this weight loss & I'm feeling & seeing results.  I still need to start doing measurements to see how many inches I'm losing along w/ weight.  I haven't posted my weight for this week yet but it's at 267 which is 2lbs lost again.  I was kinda hoping my monthly friend would show so I can see how much water weight I'm carrying right now.  But since it's taking it's damn time I'll update it. 

So today my meals consisted of this...

Breakfast:

Coffee w/ cream & sugar about 16oz

Green monster smoothie

Lunch:

Steamed green beans & broccoli

Dinner:

Homemade Meatball subs w/ mozzarella cheese

Tator tots

Snack

Cheddar Gold Fish - OMG I cannot keep away from these.  I think I ate to many today & retaining alot of water now b/c of this.  I had about 3 cups.........can you say PIG. 


I am going to take picture of myself every month, so I have to see when I last took that nasty picture earlier and take another a month later.  I want to be able to compare myself.  I guess I can do it while losing weight since I'm upset I never did it while pregnant. 

Ok, Until next time................

Today is voting day!!!!  I voted & praying that the right person wins the one that is not going to screw us or hurt us anymore.  Anyways enough politics. 

I got my workout in today & I"m happy I did.  I almost used today as my skip day & I can blame that one on my husband taking off today.  I really just wanted to go curl up in my bed when the kids went down to nap, but I am proud to say I marched down stairs and ran on the treadmill.  I'm feeling pretty good, just some bloating, but we all know the reason for that, what's coming, LOL!  I need to take my measurements which I'll do tomorrow sometime.  I need to start seeing if I'm losing inches which I know I am b/c my clothing is fitting loosely. 

Well anyways I really don't have anything new to report so I'm going to call it a night.  Here is my food journal.

Tuesday food log

Until next time.............

It's late so this is going to be super fast.  I'm just posting my food journal for today. 

Monday food log

Good night, Until next time......................

It was a very busy weekend that I never had a chance to log on.  Our trick or treating was rescheduled for this past weekend due to Hurricane Sandy.  So the kids went out Saturday & then Sunday at my parents.  We had my parents over on Saturday for dinner & trick or treating & then they took Joey home to spend the night with them since Sunday we went over to their house for dinner & trick or treating.  Now I have to figure out what to do with all this candy b/c I definitely don't need it & neither do my kids.  Some people on FB suggested sending it overseas to the troops or to the East coast kids that couldn't have Halloween cuz of the hurricane.  So that is two very good ideas. 

So I over did it Saturday & Sunday.  I started doing pretty good Saturday with eating & that I also got my workout in while the kids napped.  But later on the night I over did snacks & drank way to many empty calorie beers.  Then Sunday I just ate bad & again to many sweets.  I didnt' like what the scale said this morning & I'm hoping I can make up for my bad choices this week.  Another thing is my period is due in a couple days & like always I put on water weight about 5lbs, then I lose it right after.  I'm hoping that's the reason the scale was alittle disappointing today.  Anyhow, I didn't really keep track of my food after lunch on Saturday & I didn't track anything yesterday so I'm not going to even bother posting my food journals for this weekend.  I know, I know I need to get better with the weekends.

Well I did get my workout in today & I'm feeling better already.  I will update later today if I have time b/c I want to run to the library (I know who does that anymore, LOL) & pick up some books to read up on improving my meals better & read up more on the Food dyes in the food for my children's sake. 

Oh & I have to update my last 4 workouts.  It's just been a busy week with the weather & Halloween & the kids all being sick.  I cannot promise that I will not have anymore weeks like that cuz that's what you run into having three young children, but with winter coming & most of the birthday's now out of the way it should start slowing down.  Well minus holidays...

Hoping to get back on tonight, but until next time.......................

I didn't make it on yesterday b/c my nephew who is moving to Colorado on Saturday happened to be at my parents house so I took the kids over there for dinner & so they can visit & play w/ him before he leaves since they probably won't see him again for a year or so (if we're lucky).  Also my kids were sick so I ended up taking them to Urgicare on the way home which they all have Upper Respiratory infections.  I was able to get my work out in yesterday & today.  I'm going to have to cut this short b/c I tried to get on here quickly since I won't tonight but they are all hanging onto my leg screaming right now... UGH. 

Here is my food journals for yesterday & today.

until next time.....................
