Update :)

So it's been a while I pretty much gave up for a while but I'm back. I've lost about 16 pounds in 2 weeks and I'm feeling the fire under my butt. I'm hoping this summer we can add to our family. Back up to my highest weight there is no way that would have been possible. Today Mikey and I went on a hike 

It's so hit I felt weak after and I binged. I ate way too much but thankfully all "healthy". Apparently it was dairy I was craving after I had a yogurt I felt so much better. I'm so excited to see what the next few months have in store for our family. It should be exciting. Feeling more and more blessed daily.

Day 2

It was a rough day today. Mikey fell asleep early last night and woke up at 2:30am. I was so exausted. So I slept after taking Mike to work. I didn't get much done today but there is always tomorrow!!

My food log could be better but it's much better then it used to be!

Breakfast: 2 sausage egg mcmuffins :/

Lunch: baked peas, chicken breast small, ketchup, 

Dinner: 2 small burger pattys, 2 small Portabello mushrooms, romaine lettuce, 1/2 cutie orange

Snack: banana

Back at it.

It feels like it's been a while so I figured I would try to use my old blog for motivation. 82 days to lose as much weight as possible :D it seems doable! I'm really pumped this time. I'm doing measurements as soon as Mikey naps to see how far my journey will go. Mike and I decided to try to eat a paleo diet for the anti-inflamitory properties it boasts. I'm really going to try to stick to it!

 

My daily stats:

Breakfast: chicken apple mini meatballs 

Lunch: 3 colors of bell pepper, marinara sauce, and chicken

Dinner: chicken breast, mini sweet potatoes, cutie orange

Water: 2 glasses (16oz glasses)

Snack: banana, chicken broth 

Pills: thyroid, WL, prenatal, d

Exercise: none :( always tomorrow. Hope the no nap bandit stays far away!

Steps: I found my fitbit yay! I can start fresh tomorrow! I'm at 2,522 for the last few hours!

30 day "wahoo" challenge

In going to try to use my wahoo blue hr monitor for a workout everyday for 30 days! I have 27 till Mikey's birthday. I know if I take pictures like this I will be upset like last year. One final chance to make the change. Before I make his 3rd birthday challenge :/ I really want to lose the 20 pounds I said I was going to. 

Juicing... Or at least trying

Today I started my juicing. I'm planing on juicing 2 means and eating a balanced dinner with mike. I started today! Today's juice was the leftover mean green juice I made and a pear, 4 radishes, peach, and a pear. It's super tasty! 

 

We also went to a park this morning. So much fun!

2 1/2 mile hike

Yesterday mikey woke up at 5am! I was so tired but I got up and decided to move vs just lay around! We had such a fun time! 

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've posted. Tomorrow starts my super weight loss boot camp. I'm really going to try hard this time. I've set rules on what I want my end results to be. I've been really unhappy. I really want to do this for myself. I really want more kids and I want to be healthy. 

We went hiking on Saturday! We were so happy. We only laughed and hiked and had a great time. I'm so excited to do it again! I'm really excited to start the next chapter of my active life!

Tomorrow..... The first day of the rest of my life!

Insanity day 2

So a bunch of girls from IG and I are doing insanity. I'm super excited. I am sore lol. Tomorrow will be interesting. Stroller strides and insanity!

Picture # 1is after day one.
Picture # 2 is after day two

New year!

It's a brand new year and I'm so excited for the changes I've already made! My biggest being I just joined a fitness group stroller strides! The women so far are amazing and the workout is killer! I'm going on day 18 of eating healthy and I am so much happier. I cannot wait till Mondays workout!

Activites.

Mikey is getting older now and he's so smart. I'm going to try to add things for him to play with that will help him learn. Today I made a Christmas sensory box:

Some old, some new. The box is a hinge box with 2 peppermint Candies inside so when he shakes it will rattle. The stuffed animal is from his grandma and grandpa last Christmas. A few shatter proof ornaments and Pom poms. Two different tree trimmings from the center piece from mikes work. (It will die soon anyways. Two ball pit balls. A 6' chain of Christmas ribbon and a candy cane!

Final push

So, last night I was laying in bed and I realized its the last 30 days to make this year count more. It's been such a great year of firsts! It have decided to do one last health push. I want to make every moment of this last month count. Watch my goals come closer and closer. I've decided to push myself to finish my New Years resolution and look forward to 2013 as a mom and wife.

Relaxing Sunday

I had an amazing time at my nephews first birthday party yesterday! You can tell how hard my sister in law worked! I've decided I'm going to Do my devotional at the top of Mt. Rubidoux tomorrow! I'm so excited to hike it again! If my ankle is feeling better maybe Tuesday ill be joining curves! I got a groupon for a full month for $15. I'm really excited to push my fitness this week!

Busy busy busy

I'm so excited! I have such a busy week coming up! Tomorrow is my nephews first birthday party!! I'm so excited I can't believe he's one!! Monday is mine and mikes 7 year wedding anniversary!! I feel so blessed! The Halloween!! Seriously October starts the best time of the year (fall/winter)!

Yesterday I finally went and hiked part of mt Rubidoux yesterday!! I can't wait to do it again

Pushing myself forward

I realized today sometimes I get stuck. Upset. Fall back into old habits. I'm a new person! I'm a mom! I'm going to be a damn good mom. I'm not the self loathing, always downing myself, feeling sorry for myself ... Me anymore. I am Michael Thomas's mommy. I am perfect the way I am. I will lose weight. I will be the best house wife I can be. Hehe :)

So, I set a really high goal for myself and failed. Who knows maybe this week. My week was supposed to be a "me" week. Oh course it didn't happen but that's ok. I got the new iPhone 5 two weeks ago and I now live it. I had to exchange it in already the camera was messing up. So today was the first day in a week I'm wearing my fitbit and I forgot it while going to two malls! I can only imagine what my total would be! I figure ill stick to my old goal of 10k steps and of I get more great. I slacked on my diet this week goes to show I really do need to stick to it. I gained back 5 pounds but its okay I got it out of my system. I'm so ready to shop in normal stores. All of my clothes are falling off. I somewhat fit into my pre preg/thyroid gain pants. It will only get better. Well tomorrow is sea world with the inlaws so yay!

21 pounds gone!

So stepping on the scale and seeing that much weight gone is a breath of fresh air!! I can't wait to be at my pre-thyroid/pregnancy weight again. I have been slacking the past two days. Yesterday I got my new iPhone!!! I waited in line for like two hours! Mikey was such a great boy! Sometimes I feel if I'm making others happy I tend to let myself be miserable. I really need to start working on it. Poor Mike is sick I pray he's feeling better tomorrow. My goals this week are:
1) Get 100,000 steps for the week Sun-Sun
2) Do 30 day Shred 3 or 4 times this week (hopefully everyday)
3) Start organizing one area in the house a day
4) Laundry! (At least 2 loads for each and towels)
5) Take my appetite suppressant all week I've been lame

Where does time go...

I really figured I'd be able to keep up with blogging haha. Oh well always behind. I've been spending so much time trying to figure out how to fix our finances and "get my steps in!" Weightloss is my #2 goal right now. Well, maybe #3. Right behind being an amazing wife and mom. I can't beleive my bug will be 13 months on the 24th! Oh well my recipe for tonight is simply amazing.
"Spagetti"
Ingredients:
1c cooked Spagetti squash
1/2c Spagetti Sauce (I'd make my own next time less sodium)
2tbs parmasan cheese

Mix. Serve. Done.

It was so good!

Disneyland :)

So yesterday now (Sunday) Mike and I took Mikey to Disneyland!! It was so much fun. Halloween decor has started to be hung! I'm so excited for it to cool down it is way too hot! Mikey is growing more and more each day, such a blessing to watch!

So quick run down. Saturday I visted my mom while mike cleaned the carpets here. She's doing so much better! I know she wishes she was completely healed but I can see so much of a difference already! Mikey had his first popsicle!

We went out Tio dinner with mikes parents Satuday night. Mikey was trying to get up and go the whole time haha. I finally took him outsidew

Busy bee

So, I was going to try to blog everyday but of course I fall behind. Just same old stuff in my neck of the woods. I finally finished cleaning my kitchen it only took me a week with all the dishes we add daily! I went threw bills I had been ignoring and another reality check for me. No more random spending. It's not too bad but we have a bunch of random Dr's bills from mike and my high risk ob. Funny my insurance covered all of my regular ob but because I had issues it cost a bunch. Today I started reading "she reads truth". I once was very religious and really need to get into my faith again. I'm excited to bring mikey up in the church it was a safe haven for me growing up. I figure a daily devotional will take up so little of my time. I'm so ready for fall weather. I want to start walking in the mornings again. I missed my walk today because Mikey was napping till dark. Enough ranting u hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

"No Peeking" Chicken

So today Mike cleaned while I ran around shopping. When I got home I wanted to make my mom and dad something easy to reheat with our destroying the cleaning already done. I made "no peeking chicken"! It was so easy and yummy I'll be making more soon!

Ingredients:

1 box Uncle Ben's Long Grain Wild Rice (original recipe)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of celery soup

1 can water 

(You can add another can of water for moister rice.)

Chicken breasts or tenders

In a greased 9 x 13 pan, mix the box of rice, cans of celery and mushroom soup and 
one can of water.  I always add the extra can of water because I like moist rice.

Arrange the raw chicken on top of the rice mixture....

Cover and seal with foil......

Bake at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 hours and "Don't Peek!"

Your house will smell amazing!
