Weigh-in Wednesday

I'm totally skipping my weigh-in this week since I've been horrible with diet and exercise, what with our little weekend trip/Mother's Day/Anniversary and all. I was going to be super good this week and through the weekend on up until next Wednesday and then hope my weight was as least the same if not a little less than my last weigh-in, but I have yet to really get back on track, although I haven't been that bad. I restarted C25K week 3 on Monday since I only did it once last week and will do day 2 tonight.

I've been looking through our wedding and honeymoon photos the last few days, like I always do around our anniversary, and it makes me so sad to see how I used to look compared to now. I'm up about 23, 24, 25 (depending on the day) pounds since then. And I swore I wasn't going to be one of those women who let themselves go once they got married. Sigh. I have got to do this. I want to get back there again. And I was still about 10-15 over where I ultimately would like to be, but at this point in my life I'd be pretty happy just to be at my wedding weight again or even a little over, because I'm just not sure if 120ish is a realistic goal for a mid-40s perimenopausal woman who's mostly been in the 130s-150s her entire adult life.

I was doing so well in April, now I just need to get back on track before I've gained it all back. Again.

A Day in My Life

It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break. I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year. I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am. We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin? A lot has happened since I last blogged. The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses. We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer. We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th. We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out. Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever. So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead. It's basically all one big room. I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002. It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture. The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah. And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen. Need curtains! Looking in from the living room. Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
