Shelley: Day 3 - SO MUCH LAUNDRY AND BE FIDDLEY WITH YOUR FOOD!

By -

Since we all have kids I'm sure the above cartoon will make perfect sense.  I have cleaned up SO MUCH vomit and therefore laundry, as well as sanitizing everything from the floor to the sink again and again.  I don't think my kids have ever been this sick and that's taking into account the vomit fest of 2012.  Hopefully, this will come to an end soon.  I'm going to try to hit the gym tomorrow even though I have a cough that's going to drive everyone else insane.  Too bad I'm selfish and just don't care. :)

Annie, I'm so excited for you and the cookbook.  I've modified a few of the recipes with seasonings/or cheats like frozen veggies I'll have to give you my cheats when my new book arrives.  My kids vomited all over it so I too will be getting a new one this Friday from Amazon.

Today's breakdown:

I made cinnamon rolls (to tempt my non-eating children to eat) and relied on fast food a bit today which pushed me a bit higher than is seemly.  Tomorrow, I'm hitting the gym and killing my food.

TODAY'S TIP:  BE FIDDLEY WITH YOUR FOOD!
I have no idea if fiddley is even a word but, it is a good tip.  When I'm snacking I try to choose foods that take effort.  Things like a clemetine, that you have to peel, segment, and then can finally eat.  Popcorn is always a winner, lots of bites, not so many calories!  I also like things that take a while to prepare as snacks.  That way I spend more time getting it ready.  I don't always get my preference with my insane crew of tiny tyrants but a girl can dream!

Until Tomorrow!

So close to 13 lbs lost I can taste it!  I have a deal with Jason that every 20 lbs he has to take me to dinner at my very favorite place on the planet to eat, Spencer's.  I'm really looking forward to it! I'm so motivated right now.  All I want to do is peel away this weight as fast as I can.  I know I have to take it a bit slow or it will all just come back but the war is on and I am sooooo determined! I'm loving seeing your guy's progress.  It's so exciting to me!   Today's Breakdown: Budget 1,516 Food 971 Exercise -599 Net 372 Under 1,144 Breakfast: 268 Breakfast Sandwich, Sausage, Egg & Cheese Flatbread 1 Each 240 Orange Juice, No Pulp 1/4 Serving 28 Lunch: 309 Sour Cream, Light 1 Teaspoon 7 Ham, 97% Fat Free, Cajun Style 1 Ounce 29 WW Chicken Feta & Tomatoes 1 Serving 163 ...

Cindy and February

By -
So....February came and went. I turned 45, Eliza turned 17, Valentines came and went, I went to New York for work and I kept training for my 10k.(We are now running about 30 minutes at a time averaging 3.5 miles total per run, 3 x a week.) I am not quite the exercise animal Shelly is but I too find that if I work out I am more hungry. My goal was 20 lbs I only made a little over 16. February was hard....too many temptations. However, I did learn that you can drink a ton of water while traveling and you can use the hotel's exercise room all night. I am feeling recharged and ready to knock March out of the water!!! Until then......Spring has Sprung.

Shelley: Day 4 - Eat the Insides!

So, another day of what my family calls "nuke" and vomit.  We call it nuke thanks to my oh so wise brother-in-law.  When he was little he used to make up words.  One day he came out of the bathroom and said, "I nuked."  Everyone asked what he meant and he said, "I nuked, makes you have a sick bum.".  Since then, we've all referred to this particular malady as nuke.  So there was lots of nuking at our house today.  I'm seriously going to have to invest in Lysol with the rate at which I am using their products. I finally dragged all of my children to the gym thinking the worst was behind us (no pun intended) and W had diarrhea and we had to throw his clothes away.  I managed to run about 3.5 miles before getting called away but such is life with three very little kids.  As I have no time for anything, I bought chicken and squash (yellow and zuchinni) to grill for dinner tonight.  It's one of the simpliest and fastest healthy dinne...
