Did it!!

I hit my goal for our trip, weighed in at 189.8 the day we left, WOO HOO! 


However, my weight has been hanging at 193 since we got back. Could be the bad eating of the trip, the bad eating this week, the pre-period weight I always seem to gain OR all of the above.

Coming back I expected to have life calm down, but it hasn't. Between me working, kids in school and stuff that needs done I feel like I'm just inches under water but can't quite get to the top for that air. I get home around 10 30 or 11, I eat because I'm starving, I haven't eaten since 11am. Watch some tv and go to bed. I get up at 6 30am and I'm just dead. I'm dragging all day, when I'm lacking energy my body wants to eat - and never anything good so I've been having junk food and rice crispy treats. It's bad. I've been drinking FAR too much diet soda. No water, no exercising. I've got to find a way to make this work. I think I need to start packing a lunch for work, so I don't eat when I come home. Then coming home and going straight to bed! That would give me an extra hour- hour and a half of sleep and maybe I won't feel so crappy the next day. Then I need to force myself to work out in the mornings. I have about 45 minutes between when I get in from taking boys to the bus/feeding animals to when I need to leave to take J to middle school so I could do just half an hour a day in there, then shower, then run errands if needed. I need to do this. Instead I've been coming in and laying down! I know if I work out my energy will go up.

Today I did force myself to work out but honestly I got maybe 20 minutes and I was done. Gotta work on this. Gotta get to eating better.

Trying to plan meals for hubby to feed the kids has been hard because I find the keto meals, while good, are usually kind of time consuming and trust me with 6 kids and no other adult - he doesn't have time to spend an hour cooking. So we do easy stuff, hot dogs, tacos, frozen meals, pizzas. This week I did plan better and I made some stuff I can put in the crock pot for him. I think I need to do some serious keto crock pot research.

So, I don't plan to weigh again until after my period because I always always gain a bunch while it's here but I drop it immediately after so I'll weigh in then!

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
