Hey y'all. I made a new blog where I'll be posting about (and hopefully finding a wonderful community) homemaking. Not everyone's cup of tea... scratch cooking/baking, cleaning/tidying, spoiling my husband and children, etc. I'll be posting my routines, recipes, whatever.

If you'd like the URL, ask. I'm not going to delete this blog but I've tried several times to get back into it and just cant. We will see if I actually use this new one lmao.

Hit up another thrift store. $5 each; I'm in love with the red one. 😍

[ravenclaw-momma]

Spent $13 thrifting today. I got the purple dress for $3 and I'm obsessed 😍

Also, the shoes are originally from Talbots. Got em for 5 bucks. Love a good deal!

1950s homemaker vibe today 😍 Gave homemade puff pastry a shot, definitely room for improvement but they turned out alright.

Did yoga with atla this morning plus legs/glutes weights. Running around doing a lot of cleaning today, & I'm hoping I have time to do some thrifting. So looking forward to a decent deficit!

I am OBSESSED with potstickers + steamed kale. Like, twice a day obsessed. ~250 kcal for this bowl.

Did abs & cardio today. Still have like 700 kcal left in my budget for today. I'm thinking some popcorn + stranger things for tonight if this sweet teething boy ever goes to sleep.

A few outfits from the last week because Ryan brought something to my attention.

When I was at my heaviest last summer, I constantly cried to Ryan that I wish I could wear shorts. Every pair I tried on didnt fit right & I was always uncomfortable, whether it be physically or emotionally. I lived in yoga pants and work out pants the entire florida summer. I was miserable.

I guess I successfully blocked that out lmao because I had completely forgotten. I've totally been taking for granted the fact that I wear shorts every day now. Fun little non scale victory!

I've always hated doing yoga. It's just so slow and boring. I'll force myself to do it for a few days then fall off track.

But y'all. I started doing the Cosmic Kids yoga on YouTube with atla in the mornings and it's so much fun 😂😂😂 obviously the difficulty level isn't where it should be for me but whatever. I'm stretching and having fun with my daughter and theres HARRY POTTER YOGA. 😍

When I told Ryan that I was planning on getting back into OMAD yesterday, he got really frustrated. Went on about how what I'm doing is working & that I'm losing 1-2lbs per week, so why would I complicate things. & I guess he isn't wrong. I'm just so over counting calories & the only way I could quit while continuing to lose weight would be OMAD.

So I agreed that as long as I keep losing at a steady pace, I'll stick to moderate IF and CICO. Did a 17 hour fast today & broke it with some left over fried rice. I ate probably 3/4th of the bowl.

The best damn peach smoothie & my look today while out shopping. I showed off my mom tummy 😅

[ravenclaw-momma]

Ryan and both kids had a nasty stomach bug for two days. I kept my eating in line but the only exercise I got was chasing my 1 year old trying to get him to puke in a bucket rather than on the carpet. It was a blast.

Everyone is feeling much better this morning. Its almost 11am and I've already finished my ab routine and have 2 sets left of shoulders and chest. Paused to get the boy down for his nap.

Fasting til 2:30 today - really wanting to get back to that OMAD life.

Atla ate her breakfast & colored while I played some Stardew Valley. Odin slept past 8 in the first time in forever; it was so nice to have a slow start to the morning.

Thank you @yourfriendwren for giving me the idea of stardew + coffee this morning. Perfect 👌🏻

The damn Steam summer sale has us out like $70 ☠☠

Ryan got 4 games hes been keeping his eye on. One of which being Rollercoaster Tycoon from 2002 😂 He also got Age of Empires 2 and Rocket League, and one other I cant recall. Not familiar with any 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got Stardew Valley, House Flipper, and Life is Strange season one. I'm a boring old lady 😂 House Flipper looks like so much fun!! Oh! And I got Rust. Ryan got it a few months ago and i want to play with him, even though I'm gonna be terrible.

Anyone else taking advantage of the crazy sales?

[ravenclaw-momma]

1400cal day that included coffee, potstickers, artichoke hearts, peaches, and more coffee. 👍🏻

Did 30 minutes of cardio plus carrying in 150 dollars worth of crap from Costco lol. No weights.

[ravenclaw-momma]

Not pictured was 2 servings of animal crackers around 9pm. Around 1300cals.

That rosé cider was meh 👎🏻

[ravenclaw-momma]

I always disappear when Ryan has a long stretch off 😅 oops.

The last two days have been crazy. Ryan finished building his PC so were finally gaming together again 😍 were both really into dota auto chess right now lol.

I didnt track over the weekend but I did OMAD so I'm sure I was within my calorie goal. We did a ton of walking at the zoo & I am still sore from my arm/chest work out on Saturday.

Here's to trying to post regularly again 🙃

[ravenclaw-momma]

Ryan had the day off yesterday. Walked around a few shopping centers, Ryan was pricing out PC parts for the new one hes building. It was nice getting some casual steps in!
