Busting butt

I may not have made it to water aerobics this week, but I've done some serious damage on my big booty via elliptical! I've done it three times this week so far - plus I've cooked at home every night this week so far! You guys have no idea how much the encouragement from you has kept my motivation up...I almost skipped out on the elliptical, then I got a text telling me I'm doing a great job and to keep up the good work - so I decided I really should exercise tonight or I'd regret it! (thanks J)
Tomorrow Andy has LASIK surgery in the afternoon - he has to sleep for four hours when we get home - since the girls will be gone I am going to use that time to study, workout, and restock my refrigerator with fresh food!

New playlists

Stayed on track today - even though I didn't make it to water aerobics, I did get my cardio in on the elliptical...which made me realize I keep listening to the same playlist on my iPod - so to keep it fresh I went to Shape.com and got three new playlist ideas (will download the songs from iTunes tomorrow)...I really like their suggestions bc they are usually right at 30 minutes long and are a good mix of stuff I like. On a different note, Andy saw how hard I was pushing myself on the elliptical, and rather than say something encouraging, he maintained typical guy stereotypes by saying "are you trying to make yourself pass out? I hope you don't burn yourself out". Little does he know that pushes me to stick with this just to spite him, ha ha!

Planned out dinner

Ok, in an effort to keep cooking at home I bought the "Eat What You Love" cookbook. Amazing. Tomorrow I'm making crab cakes and onion rings, Wednesday I'm making honey Dijon shrimp skewers and veggies...wish me luck that I don't burn it!!

Still managed to make dinner

I got very little sleep last night because Wren woke up shrieking at 2:30 am with a 102.9 fever...couldn't really sleep after that. I had planned to go to work for at least a little bit, but ended up staying home to take care of her. Needless to say she was super clingy all day, but I still managed to make chicken enchiladas from scratch for dinner (under 200 calories), and even with my pantry tempting me with goodies I stayed on track! Once I get the girls to bed tonight I have big plans for the elliptical! Just want to say thank you to all of you for following me, and for all the encouragement I've received so far...I'm down 12.6 lbs as of this morning!

Tomorrow will be better

Okay, today I burned dinner, had crazy menstrual cramps, and I banged the crap out of my head while attempting to do laundry (don't ask), and I'm feeling guilty bc I didn't workout...on the upside, I did have a good day with my girls at the park, I stayed under my daily calorie goal, and I planned my meals for the next two days. Tomorrow will be better - I WILL workout, I WILL NOT burn dinner (going to make healthy chicken enchiladas) and my headache will have passed! I will also book the pavilion at Tom Bass for Wren's birthday party, so that will let me feel like I checked off one more thing on the to-do list! (it'll be March 3rd, so mark your calendars)...like I said, tomorrow will be better!

It's a good thing...

Woke up (or I should say was woken up by Mila) and my whole body is sore from last night's workout...stinks to be sore, but I know that just means my muscles are getting stronger and will burn more calories...so it's a good thing!

The blog is revived!

Okay, it's just sad that I didn't utilize my blog before (been WAY too long since my last post!)...well ladies, the blog is revived! I have recently had a wake up call (Mila asked why my belly is big, and if I'm having another baby!)...so I have made some changes that have been over due. I am not going to "diet", but rather just watch my portion sizes and try to pick healthy foods, cook at home at least 4 times a week, take my lunch to work, and exercise in some way 4 times a week...if that won't do it, then I will adapt. Currently I am down a solid 11 lbs since I've started this. My Lose it app says I should reach my goal weight by the end of May...so please help me stay motivated (even if it's through random texts or calls, it will help!)
Love you ladies!
