Well..one BIG sickness later and I am back at it!!

One week away from the Y and I am feeling like I missed a YEAR! LoL. Darn sinus infection had me laid up and not able to do much except blow my nose and sneeze. I was in a lot of pain, but the Zpack has taken care of that! So I am back at the Y and working my tail off. I tried on a couple of pairs of Capri's from years past and the legs are loose and they fit in the waist...though some are bit tight. Darn baby weight! My tummy muscles are stretched out and are really hard to tighten up. In fact, this is SO gross, but people have witnessed this and it is true, my flabby belly has a list. It leans to the right. Honest to goodness. My right side has no tone and the left side does. When I was in labor I had the most intense burning pain in my right side. I have NO idea if this has anything to do with this, but I wonder. I keep working hard and praying that the results will show soon!!! I went to my Dr. and she didn't even see it. Jeez. My Daycare lady noticed that I look thinner right away. Oh well. You cant win them all right.

My diet is pretty simple these days.

I wake up feed Emma and we hit the road running. Stop for a protein bar and water and hit the Y. Home for lunch..something fast and simple. Soup, sandwich, fruit, veggies something along those lines...Dinner is small with fruit and veggies. I have stopped snacking for the most part, but I try to keep veggies around for those occasional cravings. I was bad this week and had a handful of Sour Cream and Cheddar chips...I took the rest of them and crushed them and threw them out. (someone left them after our Pizza Party) I also had a small cone today. Guilt...but I shouldn't be. I substituted that for a part of my lunch. Calories and fat all work out in the end. I did 40 minutes on the Treadmill today, 100 crunches and one time around on the circuit. A pretty good sweaty day!

Have a good Memorial Weekend!! Stay Healthy!

Ah darn it!

I started the "dreaded" AF yesterday and there was NO WAY in heck I could go to the Y today. Bummer! We are going up to the U.P tomorrow so no Y then either. I will have to take a good walk with Emma if it is nice enough to get some exercise in. (it is supposed to rain YUCK) Soooo....I was wondering why Chocolate sounded so darn good this past week!!! I have to admit that things are def. different in that arena since Emma came along. I hope they improve a bit though. I guess I am glad that it is back, it means my body is adjusting to exercise and hopefully weightloss!!! Have a good Weekend!

It's Hump day!

I have been really good about getting to the Y and working out for about an hour to an hour and a half 4 days a week!! Woot woot...can I see a difference yet..a little. Do I feel it YES! My knees hate me lol...and yesterday I overstretched my neck something fierce and that is hurting today like crazy, plus I have had an uncommon visitor since Emma has come along...NO fun! VEnt, Rant, Vent...... :P My "diet" is okay, I should be eating more then I am, but that can be hard to justify for myself. I am eating more fruit and veggies when I can. I am done eating by 630pm almost everyday now. I eat a protein bar on my way to the gym for energy and stamina and drink a ton of water while there. Lunch is my main meal of the day. I eat that when we get home. It is pretty basic stuff...normal lunch food, soup, grilled cheese, sandwhich, salad, whatever is around and handy at the time. So as you can see things are moving along. It has been a month since I joined the Y and I am hoping things are changing, I feel great (most of the time) and things are firming up!!! Yippeee!
