Could be a good week IF....

I don't screw up these last few days!! 


Started work and WOW! I thought we would be stocking the shelves, maybe putting up some signs, stuff like that. NOPE. We were BUILDING shelves, building everything. We were lifting 10lb shelves over our heads on a 3ft ladder stretching to put them up, get them hooked properly. Over and over again for 7+ hours. My arms, my shoulders, back, legs, sides, feet, every inch of my body hurts. Day one I logged almost 400 active minutes, I walked over 8 miles. I hit records and got so many rewards from my fitbit it was crazy. Days 2, 3 and 4 were less intense but just as busy! I sliced my fingers open. I go from on the ground to on an 8ft ladder. Up and down up and down. Hard work. But it burnt some serious calories, about 4,000 a day, so it's all good! I did eat some questionable stuff - like I didn't pack a lunch on day 1 because I wasn't sure when or how lunch would work or if we had a fridge. So I got a turkey wrap from the gas station, it was 450 cals and 50 carbs. Not good. But considering how many calories I burnt, I think I'm OK! Then I packed a lunch but just didn't feel like eating it Tuesday so I grabbed food from the gas station - a sandwich, the bread set off the carb-gas. Miserable all night. Regrets. Only 38 carbs there though. Wednesday I did good, I made wraps with bacon, 2 slices of deli turkey, 1 slice of tomato, 2 slices of cucumber, a little cucumber ranch and some cheese wrapped in romaine, super yummy super low-carb!

I was kind of hoping for a second week of that but the building is done, our hours ALL got cut down to just 2 days next week. Kind of a bummer, I'll have to start working out again tomorrow. But as long as I don't screw up with food I should still see a decent loss this week! And I bet I lost even more but I've gained muscle! I think I am ready for those 10lb weights now! 

Yesterday was our 15th anniversary, we both worked so we are going to celebrate tonight with dinner. Probably hibachi. Tomorrow the kids and I have a bday party to go to, I AM having a slice of cake! I mean what's life without ever eating cake?! Then Saturday is house-cleaning day. I want to scrub all the carpets, paint the baseboards, wash windows, ect. Sunday I am going to work on some outdoor projects with the husband, the weeds in this yard are out of control!! All our hedges are way overgrown too. Chicken and duck area need cleaned. Monday I am meeting friends at the roller rink, Tuesday I work.

Still moving forward, still hoping for 10lbs by our trip at the end of August!

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
