Goals for March

Every year I make a New Year's Resolution to lose weight, and most years I start off pretty well, but this year I just can't get anything going at all.  So I'm hoping to turn that all around starting tomorrow.  These are my goals for the month of March:
  • lose 5 pounds
  • record everything that I eat every day for the entire month (either here or just on paper)
  • backtrack to week 5 of C25K and do it 3 days a week, consistently
  • be more consistent with healthy eating (which I'm hoping #2 will help me with)
  • blog about my efforts at least once a week, maybe more, for accountability.
As for C25K, I had worked back up to week 7 (running for 25 minutes) after falling off the wagon around the holidays but then I got really inconsistent and for the last few weeks I've just been alternating like 5-10 minutes of running with 5 minutes of walking or so, excpet I did run for 20 minutes once last Monday or Tuesday but then I haven't been to the gym since because of snow.

I really need to get serious because we're down to just 2.5 months until we go to Hawaii!

You can do it. I think 5 lbs is a good goal. Attainable! I'm working on the same type of thing. After two years, I feel a bit guilty blaming the extra weight on my girls. :) I've been running 1.5 miles 4 times a week. It's hard, but it feels so good when your done. I have it bump it up to 2 miles here soon and I'm dragging my feet. I'm headed to Florida in about a month and need to fit into at least one pair of my shorts! I feel your Hawaii pains. :) Good luck!

I use www.myfitnesspal.com to log my meals (I have an app for my phone) - you put in your current weight, and how much you want to lose and it calculates your daily caloric intake, then you put in what you eat during the day and it deducts the calories and gives you stats on the nutritional make up of what you've eaten. However, if I didn't have it on my phone I think I wouldn't use it nearly as much. I try to log my food before I eat it, and that helps me decide on my portion size and helps me pace myself so that I don't run out of calories mid-day. Hope this helps!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
