Getting fit in '09 update #7

Hey all! I weighed in at 160.5 this morning, and I am not sure if being sick helped out or not. 4 days of chicken noodle soup is not fun! But it is a 2 pound loss, so I'll take it. I'm probably not going to get back into workout mode this week so I need to be sure to stick to my points. I need to get over this awful cycle of gaining and losing before I go crazy!

Things I did this week: Absolutely nothing, got strep throat

Things to do this week: recover from being sick, ease back into some pilates, drink lots and lots of water

Getting fit in '09 update #6

Sorry it has taken me so long for an update. I gained pound this week and I really didn't want to blog about another up. It's really getting irritating! So this week I was 162.5
I'm beginning to think I am one of those nursing moms that can't work out and do weight watchers and lose weight. It's like I am already burning enough nursing. I worked out hard 4 times this week, and a couple pilates exercises, I even ate all those calories! I guess I should be happy it was only a pound. So this week I am only going to do pilates, no cardio and see if it makes a difference. I can't just quit all together now that I am starting to see some muscle definition (especially in my legs!) LOL

Things I did this week: worked out 6 times, avoided weighing in until Friday, stayed with in points (basically, I did everything right)

Things to do this week: LOSE WEIGHT! hahah....drink more water, get a few pilates in

this is for Amy ;)

To all those who think Carter looks more like Jason (Amy...this would be you). I can now prove you wrong:

He might have Jason's eye shape...but the rest is all me. Just look at that hair and smile! No wonder he keeps being referred to as 'she' and 'her'. LOL

My first attempt at a photoshoot!

I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of my new camera and decided to get Carter set up for a photoshoot. He refused sit still so I didn't get too many, but a few that I got turned out pretty good, I think! I learned that I rely way too much on my automatic features, and that I need to learn a little more of the manual features. I also love natural light...I never want to take a picture without it again! And lastly...don't get so excited that you forget to iron the sheet. haha

thought I'd take some testers with the rose first

I am going to post the SOOC (straight out of camera) versions followed by my photoshopped ones, just 'cause I can and because I am sure I'm not the only one that likes to see before and afters:

The never ending cuts of a two year old continues

Alex had another accident today...I swear, this boy is going to cause me a lot of heartache...especially when he starts up sports!

I was telling him to get off of one of his toys before he got hurt, next thing you know he falls backwards and bangs his head onto the edge of a speaker. It was pretty bad and ended up bringing him to the hospital. The doctor put a staple in his head:

He is fine, and running around like crazy already...doc said we can get the staple removed in a week. But I have a feeling this is just the beginning!

Top 5 reasons why this was the best VDay!

no particular order...it was just an awesome day!

5. I can finally park in the garage again, thanks to Jason cleaning it out!

4. I got to sleep in

3. Jason cleaned the kitchen

2. Jason also made me a candlelit dinner, complete with flowers and wine

1. Alex didn't have a single potty accident all day, and he went poo-poo on the potty without any prompting by me!

This Valentine's Day will be at the top of the list for awhile!

I am down 3.5lbs this week (against my 'official' weigh-in from last week)! Taking me down to 161.5 for a total of 10 pounds!! I am averaging 2 pounds a week, so I am right on track to make goal by my birthday, just in time for my shopping adventure :)

Things I did this week: worked out twice, ate pretty good (but I can always improve on that!)

Things to do this week: work out (of course), get in plenty of water, and actually journal my food!
