4.2lbs!

-

Weighed in this morning, down 4.2lbs! Not bad considering I did not watch calories at all this week, did not exercise at all. Just simply cut my carbs down a lot. 


 Hubby lost about 4lbs also so that's good too!

 This coming week I am adding exercise! I started yesterday, youtube has so many videos for free. I really like the popsugar exercise videos. They have a ton of 15 minute ones that work great for me. 

 I did this one yesterday, while I'll admit I didn't break much of a sweat, but my legs felt the burn at the end. 

 This morning I did this one, using mostly the modified moves, and I broke a sweat and needed to stop twice for water. 

 I am going to do a second tonight, I ate half a blueberry bagel w/ cream cheese for breakfast, terrible, I know. 24g of carbs. If I were doing full keto I would have ruined it for the day! But I am aiming for 50g of carbs so I'm going to have to be super careful the rest of the day. I love bagels and wanted to make some keto bagels but walmart substituted almond flour for rice flour and I didn't notice. I'll be heading out for that almond flour today and making these bagels later!

I decided I was going to add exercise to my routine and I have, but a couple days ago I found the most fun workouts, ever!! I've always found myself incredibly bored with typical workout videos, a bunch of grueling exercises that make me want to shut it off and go eat a donut. So I hit youtube and I do like the popsugar ones, but even that was getting old and boring. So I was thinking, well what if it was exercise choreographed to my favorite songs? I typed in "feel it still dance exercise" (Feel it still by Portugal. The Man is my favorite song, maybe ever) and the first video to come up was this one by The Fitness Marshall, after I got past my hysterical laughing watching it the first time I decided to try it and guess what?! It's so freaking fun. I look and feel like a total dork, but a dork having fun. It's only 3 minutes but I was sweating after 3 minutes, I ended up doing it a second time and a third. Then I found other songs I love ( Meghan Trainors...

No more eating out.

-
This may be my hardest challenge yet. We LOVE to eat out. Mostly me. I think it's because it's a break from mom duties. Dinner in our house, with 8 people is a lot of work and a huge mess. Prep, cooking and eating leaves me with 2 loads of dishes plus an hour of clean up. While I'm in the kitchen doing that the kids are destroying the rest of the house so then I have to do that (or get on them to do it which is equally exhausting). Then our 2 yr olds basically cry and scream through every dinner because they're tired and cranky, I'm up and down getting new forks for kids who dropped them, filling drinks, getting little kids more food and always holding someone on my lap. It's an exhausting meal. So I love going out for dinner. The girls usually behave better out, someone else preps, cooks and cleans. They serve me and my kids! BUT, my favorite places to go are hibachi and mexican. Which means I eat rice, noodles, carb filled yumyum sauce. Chips, tortillas and wh...

Birthdays and bad bellies.

-
I was having tummy trouble, I thought it was related to the Brussel sprouts and it may have been somewhat, but my husband ended up having to take a day off work due to tummy troubles and my other kids have it now. So I guess it's just a little bug. One of my twins has something going on, I think it's teeth maybe mixed with the belly thing. She's been fighting a fever for a few days and just really miserable. We haven't been getting much sleep. Our 3rd born turned 9 on Tuesday! He wanted Burger King for lunch and a marble cake.. I passed on lunch. As much as those burgers looked and smelled so good, I knew that was too far. I did have cake, a small slice and it was delicious. It was also like 350 calories and 33g carbs. Ugh. Tried to sneak a workout in because I really needed it but with a sick kid and the boys needing 1 thing after another, I only got 20 minutes in before I had to call it. Wednesday was rough. Didn't sleep much but my little one was feeling be...
