Fitness Friday

Awhile back I used to do weekly weight loss (or lack thereof) updates every Friday.  I've decided to start doing that again, for at least the next 4 weeks, because I desperately need some accountablility, not that it's ever worked in the past but it still can't hurt.  It's coming up on 2 years that I've been struggling with repeatedly losing and regaining the same 3 or 4 pounds over and over.  And the one time I did lose more, 9 pounds last May, I managed to gain all that back and then some.  I'm really tired of it.

So starting today, I commit to posting weekly for the next 4 weeks about my efforts.  I'm not going to set an actual goal of losing x number of pounds, I just want to concentrate on breaking this cycle.  One thing I'm trying to do is not necessarily eliminate, but cut way back on bread, potatoes, pasta, rice and sweets.  Now that I'm getting older and entering into perimenopausal territory (I think, and I'm "only" 43, it's not like I'm pushing 50), carbs are wanting to stick around more easily than before, I'm noticing.  So that is going to be my focus in the coming week.  After our spaghetti dinner tonight :)

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...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
