Better late then never!

I haven't been able to update b/c I had three sick kids all week last week & the this weekend I was sick. Well thankfully everyone is on the mend so time to move on. I was able to complete my 5 days of running & my weight is showing I'm officially under 250 finally! I don't know why but that makes me feel so damn good I was smiling from ear to ear this morning. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get my workout in today b/c of this chest cold & my knee is really hurting ( don't know what happened), but I got on the treadmill & I did it. It was hard I'll admit but thankfully my knee didn't hurt while running & I didn't hack a lung up until after the work out. My knee is kinda funny it didn't bother me running but it hurts when I bend it or completely straighten it or walking up/down stairs. I hurts on the top of the knee cap & sometimes pain shoots behind my knee also the side of my knee feel really stiff when bending it. I'm icing it right now & hope it goes away on its own. The only thing I can remember doing to it was while at the water park I went down a slide & my daughter was at the end & to avoid plowing into her my knee hit the bottom of the water & I had a nice big bruise toward the bottom of my knee cap but it didn't hurt like it does now, but now that the bruise is gone all this other pain described above started, interesting!

Anyways, Friday was my birthday & I turned 38 and the day just totally sucked. My kids were all sick so I spent the whole day with fevers & whining & crying. Thankfully my parents showed up around 3:30 to help out & we were all suppose to go to dinner together but cuz the kids where sick they let Chris & I go. Then after dinner we met some friends at a bar for some drinks but I was home by 9:30 cuz I knew my parents wanted to go home, but I really wish I could have hung out more. Then Saturday Chris decided to go snow mobiling & promised he'd be home at 4:30-5, so didn't make dinner thinking he could pick something up. I was to busy dealing with sick kids & after a week of it, it was really starting to take its toll on me & I lost it. He didn't get home till 6:30 gee right before the kids bedtime (how convenient is that?). Plus I ran out of the kids Advil & was waiting for him to get home so I could go get some cuz I didn't want to drag them out. My only question: how am I the one that gets screwed over all the time, why can't I ever get my time out w/o feeling guilty from him? Oh we'll that's life.

I have been feeling really down & out lately b/c I'm stuck in the same routine over & over again. I desperately need change & good change. I feel like I'm in the movie "Groundhog Day" that pretty much sums it up. Well I better stop while I'm ahead & spare any readers.

Well here is my meals for today:

Breakfast
Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Two eggs

Lunch
Steamed broccoli

Dinner
Chicken breast
Au gratin potatoes
Steamed veggies

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

Taco casserole

Made this for dinner yesterday & I have to see it seemed so heavy & fattening & I felt guilty eating it, but it was so good.

Chicken pot pie

Made home made chicken pot pie today, can't wait to devour it.

Good Day

Ok, I'm on my laptop so now I can update more.  So last Friday I had a busy day that started w/ taking the twins to school & then had to take my husbands truck in for an oil change which lasted the full almost two hours so when that was done it was time to pick the twins back up then we stopped at McDonalds for lunch (I'll tell you it wasn't that good) then picked my mom up from the airport & went over to my parents house, then I had an interview at 3pm which lasted 45 mins & then back to my parents to pick up the trio & got home about 5:30 then the baby sitter came over at 5:45 & the hubby & I went out w/ people from the trailer.  My night ended about 10-10:30, so it was a very busy day & I couldn't get my workout in.  Then on Saturday we took the kids to The Great Wolf Lodge but first we had to go to my in-laws to visit & stopped for lunch before hand then stopped at the trailer to pick up the kids water vests for the water park.  We finally got to the lodge about 1:45pm then spent the day in the water park.  It was alot of fun & the kids really enjoyed themselves.  They didn't get to bed until about 11:15pm & thankfully slept till almost 9am.  Then we packed up & went to the water park then headed home about noonish.  We had three very tired, cranky kids all day yesterday.

So that was my weekend & today I was able to get back on schedule & ate good & got my run in.  I really ate bad all weekend & wasn't happy about it.  Like I said I really need to work on that.

I will update my weight from last week b/c I don't think I did, but here is my meals for today:

Breakfast:coffee w/ cream & sugar
Cherrio's w/ silk almond milk

Lunch:
macaroni & cheese

Dinner:
sloppy joes
sweet potato fries

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

Been missing in action

Sorry it's been five days since I last up dated & this one isn't gone to be in detail or long, I just wanted to check in & say that I'm still working out these past few days have been crazy busy for me. I will update more tomorrow & let you know what's been going on these past few days.

Until then.....................

Slacking on my updates!

Sorry I haven't posted in several days. I really don't have an excuse as to why, but I use my IPad all the time now & it's hard to type on this (fast). I did update my measurements (check my measurements page) yesterday & proud to say at least that's shrinking. I'm still stuck between 254-256, but I'm going to up date my weight tomorrow cuz I didn't weigh myself this morning so we'll see.

I did work out yesterday & today & that's going very well & I'm feeling pretty good. I put my jeans on this weekend & they are feeling more comfortable, I really hope I can get rid of this extra "pregnancy" skin hanging from my belly w/o surgery.

Anyways, I have an interview with the place my sisters work at this Thursday at 10am so please say a prayer for me that I'm a good fit & that its something I want to do & can do well. Then I have an interview on the 29th so maybe one of these will be a good fit, I HOPE!

Here is my meals from yesterday & today:

Breakfast:

1/14- Cheerios & silk almond milk
1/15- same as above

Lunch:

1/14- steamed vegetable melody
1/15- salami sandwich

Dinner:

1/14- summer sausage w/ sourkraught (sp?) veggies, au gratin potatoes
1/15- sloppy joes w/ sweet potato fries

Until next time..... My show is about to come on.

Great day

I worked out this morning after I dropped the twins off at school & it actually worked out perfect. I am so proud to say I even got my shower in before having to pick them up (anyone that's a mom will understand my excitement here), thank you jake for sleeping. My run actually felt great today & easy like I'm almost ready to pick up the speed from 5.2 to 5.4 now, but I think I'm going to finish out my week first and see how the next two workouts go & if still as good as today went then ill think about moving the speed up or maybe going longer at the same speed, we'll see.

I'm also happy that the scale showed that I went down another pound & at 255.0,so that makes me happy, plus I put on my pre-twin pregnancy jeans today & they are getting loser at the waist band so even though I was stuck in a rut & not loosing weight the past two weeks at least my measurements are moving, ill have to up date them. I'm happy with that too as long as its coming off somewhere.

Oh, and we'll be taking the kids to The Great Wolf Lodge on the 19th so I have to really watch my diet & what I eat in the next two weeks cuz ill have to wear a bathing suit (oh Gosh). But I do have to remember I lost 50 some pounds since Summer last year so ill look a little better but just not were I wanna be. I'm just happy that my BFF Pam mentioned this to us today & that we can do it. My kids really aren't huge fans of water cuz they aren't subjected to it as often as I'd like (I had a pool growing up). So I hope that they have fun & actually go in the water & down the slides.

Anyways here is my meals for today:

Breakfast:
Coffee w/ cream & sugar
Bowl of Cheerios

Lunch:
Salad w/ bacon, onions ,shredded cheese & ranch dressing

Dinner:

Potato & cheese perrogies w/ onion & I made some home made carrot French fries (OMG, they are awesome)

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