Day 37/Rest Day

I guess you could say that the last couple days have been a rest day as far as working out goes. But I have been so busy with sick kids, cakes and now I am getting sick. :( However that didn't keep me from doing things around my house that made me work up a little sweat. And my core temp seems to be a lot higher than those people in my house. So when they turn on the heat I actually start to get so how that I get sweaty a little. Home made sauna!

I fear however that I am getting what my children currently have. I feel fine, but you know that feeling you have when you know you are about to get sick. Yeah well that is me. But I heard that working out when you are sick makes it go away faster because you are working your body, um...oh I dunno why. I just heard it okay!

Anyway, a lot more cleaning to do and laundry to get done.

Rest Day

Today is my rest day, and I am not sure how I like them. I feel out of sorts because I am not going to the gym today. I know I need them to make sure I don't burn out, but it still feels weird. Which is also a good feeling because then I know this is becoming habit and not just something I did or currently am doing.

I have a very busy couple of days ahead of me, so I need to make sure I stick with my diet. I have a couple of cakes due, good thing I don't care for cake that much. However I have to use Oreo's and another kind of mint cookies in them, which might become an issue. :)

I have been struggling the last couple days diet wise. I seem to be wanting to snack late at night and am not even hungry. I am not sure what it is about, but it is driving me nuts. I am going to try to get a handle on this and curb this last night snacking. We will see how that goes.

Rest Day/Cheat Day

Today is my rest day, which is weird but okay. Today was daylight savings day so it was strange waking up and not sure 100% what time it was.

Anyway, have some cookies and laundry to finish today and send out this week.

My cheat meal is Taco Soup! YES SOOOOO GOOD! With chips and cheese and sour cream. But I will be working my ass off this week to make sure it doesn't stick around. LOL

Have a great everyone!

Rest Day

So today is my rest day, and I have to admit I am not thrilled about it. I should go work out.

Yesterday was kind of an overall crummy day throughout the day. Then we received some good news that made the day end on a somewhat high note.

With the kids exhausting all of the life out of me, I just decided to run some errands and maybe pick up some dinner for them. Well we ended up eating at a local BBQ place that I love.

I won't describe my dinner, but it wasn't the best of ideas. I felt like crap leaving the restaurant. My gut felt overwhelmed, my face and hands felt greasy. And I felt this overwhelming guilt for some reason.

Needless to say I was very unhappy for the evening. But I made that mistake and today is a new day. I won't work out, but cleaning my house is always work enough for me. I always seem to come out of it drenched in sweat. (gross I know) But hey it is a small work out one way or another.

I also have some sugar cookies to make and ship to CA this afternoon. So lots of work ahead of me.

Enjoy your day everyone!

Day 23

Today is a rest and cheat day

Very very tired, and not feeling 100% up to par. Going to get a lot of laundry and cleaning done today so we can start the week off on the right foot.

My cheat meal for the day is Chicken Curry with Rice. I will still use brown rice, and it has potatoes and carrots. So good!

I have a lot more weight to lose before I hit my goal for the end of March. So this week coming up I am gong to attempt to add weights in at night. And work out for 30 cardio minutes on my work out days. And my eating has got to be spot on. I am going to go to Sam's Club today to get a big pack of desert gum. It is an easy way for me to curb cravings and I don't get a lot of calories for it.

I realize the later I stay up the more likely I am to snack on all sorts of things. So I am going to also try to get to bed at a somewhat decent time. Also getting a measuring tape today, I would actually like to keep track of my measurements from now on.

Anyway, that is all for now. Hope everyone has a great day!

Day 19 - Rest Day

I know you might think I missed entering info today, but I didn't.

Today is my rest day.

And for a rest day it was crazy busy!!!! Rya had class, I had group and then she had her evaluation to see what preschool programs she qualifies for. That took forever! I know she will qualify for them since she is so low still on her abilities. I mean she is very advanced/high functioning for her disability. But she still needs a lot of help!

Anyway, since it was so crazy I totally forgot to eat breakfast and didn't get around to lunch until probably 3:00pm! I know that is bad for a healthy lifestyle, but sometimes that is a part of life as a mom.

Best part of today, made some strawberry lemonade cupcakes for my group. I didn't have one of them. (I am not a huge fan of cake, even though I do it for a living. But these are awesome!) Then we went to McDonalds for the kids dinner because we had a lot of errands to run. We got them nugget meals and hubby got a drink and cheeseburger. And me? Why I didn't get anything!

YAY! McDonalds is one of my big weaknesses! So that is a celebratory thing for me.

Tomorrow back on the workout wagon until Sunday, my next rest day!

Thanks for reading! Remember encouraging words are always welcome!
