Our weekend went to fast as usual. Saturday I had all sorts of running around to do and then later that evening we had a few couples come over to play cards. I actually won the first round of Texas Holdem’ – $35! Sunday was kind of a lazy day and I did a whole lot of nothing. I didn’t even cook, we got pizza – which yuck. I felt so terrible afterward. It made my stomach hurt and I felt so bloated and I only had two pieces. I sort of enjoyed it though because it was like my body was saying, “Get this crap out of me and eat something healthy”…which is a great sign.
I recorded some snippets of my day Saturday and thought I would share with you all. I should have had more of the kids in the video because after awhile I got sick of looking at my face when I was editing. It was a busy day and the kids weren’t with me for most of my running around and such. I love that it snowed Friday night and today it all melted and I am back to staring at the dried out front yard grass again outside my office window. Spring is hopefully on its way. I can’t wait to start getting some exercise outside.
Hope you all had a great weekend, what was the highlight of yours?
I’m kicking butt! Ha, Okay really I am just kicking Ken’s butt. This week I lost 3.7 pounds which means I lost a total of 5.8 pounds in 2 weeks. Not too shabby. I don’t know what happened with Ken, he started out having a really good week and then I think he blew it last night when he ate Chinese Food. I told ya not to eat that fried rice babe!
My goal for next week is to most definitely break the 10 pound mark. It seems kinda silly to be happy about weighing 227, but I am thinking if I keep at this rate I will be down under 200 by week 11.
Ugh, that doesn’t sound so good when I put it in writing. That 2 months from now.
Well wait that will be the half way point to my goal of 166 so I guess that is not too shabby.
No, no…that means it will take me 22 weeks to lose my goal of 71.4 pounds.
Ummm, that is ONLY 5.5 months. Now THAT makes me excited…to possibly accomplish my goal in 6 months?
Okay, now we all know that might be wishful thinking! But you never know…so quit judging me for being so number crazy!
I’m working on convincing MYSELF people, not you.
My Goals for next week:
Lose 4.2 by next weigh in
Start using free weights to strengthen my muscles and lose fat
Smile…even though this isn’t much fun (yet)
Go to specialty shoe store and get properly fitted for tennis shoes
A vlog post about our weekend and my attempt to start the Couch to 5K Program.
{I’m catching on that my Flip camera produces horrible quality when used at night with our normal room lighting.}
Today was our first official weigh in for our weight loss videos and unfortunately I don’t have much to be proud of. It’s crazy that a week ago I had lost 3.5 pounds and then this week I ate even less than last week and here we are only a 2 pound total weight loss. [...]
I seen several videos on YouTube of husbands doing their wives makeup or boyfriends doing their girlfriends makeup and I thought they were fun to watch. Apparently this is one of many video “tags” floating around on YouTube. How fun!! I decided to have Karli, my 7 year old daughter, do my makeup. I found [...]
Darn, I broke my routine of posting every day so far this year. Some days I was even posting twice. See I have a little secret, I don’t always publish my posts when I write them. I’ll write several posts at one time and them publish them so they post at different times. Trust me, [...]
Did anyone catch this mistake on the episode of The Bachelor last Monday? Being the huge tech junkie that I am of course I would be the one to notice the screw up they made when one of the girls on The Bachelor, Linzi C., showed her iPhone when sharing the story of how she [...]
Just a quick update of how things went this first week. It wasn’t really a full week since we just started on Tuesday – so we didn’t do a weigh in this week. Our first weigh in will be Friday, January 13th.
We just had to get the kids out of the house during Christmas break…they were driving us batty! We took them to the bowling alley for some family time. Oh and I played that silly game where you have to stop the cubes on top of one another, that game is such a rip off! [...]
Another better late than never video of our corndog Chase. He did such a good job at his Christmas musical. I tried to just cut and paste the parts that he was in. He is the only boy elf that has lines. In the beginning he is on the far left.
Welcome to Our Family Nest. We are a family of 6, well 10 if you count the dogs! Ken & Candi, Andrew(16), Blake(11), Chase(9), and Karli(7). Read more about us HERE.
