10 pounds!!!! GONE!!!


I was on a mission to hit 215 this week, I was so nervous last night and this morning I had myself almost sick lol. Jumped on that scale only to see...... 214.4!!!!!! YASSSS!!!!! I did run like a mad woman last night, 8 laps (4 jogging 4 fast walking) I did 30 jumping jacks, 30 push ups and a bunch of other exercises. At 8pm... in the dark. I think the fact it is so creepy outside here at night helped me to really jog fast and get my stuff done lol! I worked out till I had a muscle spasm in my arm haha! Felt great. Also woke me up and I couldn't sleep after that, but oh well!

I don't really see where that 10lbs has left but I'll take it.


Coffee. My morning isn't complete without it. I love my iced coffee. My favorite is an iced caramel macchiato. But the calories, the carbs! Oh my! So I've been trying to successfully make one at home that has less carbs and sugar but the same taste and today I think I nailed it!

Using my small DD cups (because everything tastes better in that cup)...

3tbs half and half, 1 tbs torani caramel syrup, 2tbs torani sugar free caramel flavoring. Mixed that together, filled my cup with ice to the rip and topped with hot coffee.

Perfect. Delicious.  190 cal, 19 carb, 6g fats

Dunkin Donuts small caramel swirl macchiato - 190 Cal, 33g carbs, 4g fat

So while I actually have more fats, and the same calories, I cut the carbs almost in half. I'll be able to get that even lower with homemade caramel syrup but for now, I'm loving it. I don't typically eat anything for breakfast so this will be what holds me over till 11-12.

Muscles, pregnancy dreams, kids killing workouts

 My muscles, dream and kids are crazy.  I was talking to my husband about it and I said do you remember on that shark movie, Deep Blue Sea, where she adds the sharks sample to the Alzheimer patient sample and it starts firing. I think that's what my muscles are doing, firing. Coming to life after not getting much use! Spazzing out! My back muscle freaked out yesterday and then last night I had a muscle twitch in my obliques that started around 10pm last night and is still, 12 hours later, twitching. Which I think is what brought on my dreams because it feels a lot like a baby kicking! Last night I had a dream that I was pregnant, with twins, again! But the only baby I was feeling was the one on the front left so I was searching some weird storage place for a doppler. Then I suddenly snapped into being labor and giving birth at home, to TRIPLETS lol. Then I woke up. Whew! When I woke up my muscle was really going crazy lol.  Today I got in a great workout, 50 minu

Somehow...

Been working a lot, busy at home. Tired. Sick. Blah. Not getting in workouts. Eating bad. But somehow, still losing weight. 193 this week! 4lbs to my goal which is supposed to be next Friday so maybe... MAYBE I'll make it.  Kids went back to school Monday and it's been crazy! Then last night was my first night at work with school, I figured getting home so late I'd feel like crap today but not so much. Feeling pretty OK. So once I get everyone to school I will go ahead and get in half an hour of exercise. Shower. Get ready for work again!  Hubby asked me if I felt comfortable going to the waterpark yet, I said yes. I think I finally do! I need a new swimsuit though, mine are all way way too big!!!

Why didn't I do it sooner?!

After my post this morning I was feeling crappy because I haven't worked out in a while (July 25th was my last workout) and I'm just kind of derailing, been eating carb loaded granola bars for breakfast and pizza for dinner. Not good. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna do a workout, even if it's just 20 minutes. So I put on 20 minutes worth. The first one I'm coughing, spitting mucus, thinking I'm gonna suffocate in my body with my fluid filled lungs. But then as I started sweating and breathing it cleared up, I stopped coughing. I felt good! I still feel good. Got in over 30 minutes, burned over 300 calories and I feel good! I just have to do it!!!! It always makes my day better! I also need to find a breakfast food I can eat with my coffee. I really like the oats and honey crunchy granola bars but at 29g carbs... ouch. Guess I need to do some googling. But even at 29g carbs, I can still stay on track if I'm careful. I work today so I'll be packi
