Muscles, Mascara & Sippy Cups

Working mom of twins who refuses to give up on being HEALTHY!

20 days of crazy...

Life got hectic.  The girls (11 months now) have been sick on and off and then school is back in full gear (I teach) so prepping and getting back in the routine of being a working mother took it's toll on my ability to post.

But I'm here.  I've changed the name of this page for a very specific reason.  I want my girls to grow up knowing you can be girly & athletic.  I want to embody that for them; as their number one role model (same sex parent is always the most influential role model, studies show) I need to show them the importance of health.  Secondly - it is a very good description of life right now.  Working out, getting back to the point of wearing makeup again and juggling the babes.   Life is good - sorry I left you hanging.   Weigh in update in the morning!!

Just put my stats into my online tools...HELL YEAH!

[supertwintastic]

Said BYE to 5.2 lbs this week.

Hell yeah!!!  Of course, I had the help of the flu...but I'm hoping I don't gain much of it back...

I might be in the middle of my journey - but that doesn't mean I can't be "okay" or even love myself RIGHT NOW!! I'm not going to wait until I'm at goal weight - I'm going to be happy NOW. Dare you to be too!!

So frustrated.  I started WW eating only 'clean' food...had great losses for two weeks...then got a bit  lazy and I've been eating anything that fills me up and is within my points...nothing.  Not a thing.  I take that back, last week I think I lost .5 - this week nothing.  What gives? I'm within my points.   So, here I go again - back to combining WW with Clean Eating to lose weight.  I guess my weekly points will have to be used for my "cheat day" instead of for things here and there....

Every body is so different; just glad I'm figuring my body out.

Week 1 Day 1: t25

[supertwintastic]

Measurements: 15 days in to WW

Before:                                         Now:

L Arm: 14 inches                         14.5 R Arm: 15 inches                         15.5 Chest: 43 inches                          42 Waist: 43 inches                          41 Hips: 48.5 inches                         46  L Thigh: 28 inches                       27 R Thigh: 29 inches                      27

A grand total of 12 lbs & 8.5 inches lost (1 gained in my arms??) in just 15 days!! This was all done with just counting points, getting some exercise in at least 2xweek.   Now that I have some confidence back - here comes the fun - I'm going to try to clean up my diet & do T25 for 10 weeks!!  Let the challenge begin.

T25 is coming to this household...

So is a better/more detailed post...as soon as I throw dinner in the crock pot...

[supertwintastic]

A good reminder - I need to totally enjoy/appreciate my body for what it is right now - while it's "in process" - because it has and will do amazing things for me!!

Weigh in today: Down .5 lbs.   Not exactly what I was hoping for - but it wasn't a gain so I'm going to take it as a success.  You see, I did something I've never done before this week.  I used all and I mean every single last one of my weekly points the day of WI last week.  So all week I've been working towards staying at exactly my point range and working out.  Apparently it didn't even out as I had hoped. 

This week, I'm going to go the tried and true method that works for my body: use some weeklies here and there as a treat - not all of them - and certainly not all at once.   I'm not going to be a slave to the scale. I'm not going to fear pounds lost/gained/maintained.  I'm just going to keep working towards a healthier lifestyle and a healthier me!!

No mental guilt today...it is what it is and we move forward!  Onward and downward! Xo
