and i'm not sure what it should say...

I've been feeling pretty crabby and cranky and down, and just wanting to eat doughnuts and cookies and cakes and breads till i can't stuff my fat face with anymore... BUT, I was reminded of my CONSTINCEY goal and decided to get myself back on track...I fell WAAAAAYYYY  off the wagon when we had our 4-5 weeks of flus and yuckiness.

So, here is my report (i need accountability people!)

Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to the rec center next to sb's school and do a 25 minute interval workout with isometric exercises (although i've had to modify these due to my growing belly... try to do push-ups with a soccer ball under you :) Boy do I get sweaty!

      Side note... I really wish I could run! I have a slight case of asthma... i feel like such a woose saying that, but if it weren't for the fact that after about 5 minutes of running it feels like i'm trying to catch my breath through a straw, I could go for a while... AND burn a ton of cals in a shorter amount of time,  however, I have since learned that interval workouts can be just as if not more effective! (yeah for me :) and i must say again, i sweat up a storm this way.

Anyways, I used to do this everyday, but with our schedule this semester I can only do it Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Monday and Wednesday evenings after kiddlets are tucked into bed I do a pregnancy yoga dvd that's about 55 minutes and ends with a TERRIFFIC relaxation exercise and i'm ready for bed myself :)

Saturdays we go to the rec center as a family and work on swimming with the kids... I haven't quite decided what to do on fridays...

So since I've been better now (still have that dumb cough and chest congestion a bit) I decided on monday that I (and my family...) needed a sugar detox in the worst way.  now i'm being more strict on myself than my family right now with it, but anyways, I've been eating whole grains for breakfast with our green smoothies.  Then I make another big (7 Cups) of green smoothie for lunch with maybe a salad or leftovers, then a healthy snack with the kids after school then at dinner time I make something yummy and healthy.

AND I notice (i don't remember the last time this EVER happened) that I don't take seconds! I'm full or (my new word) satiated! Plus I'm drinking at least 64 oz of water too... My body feels pretty good too, I've been waking up between 5 and 5:30 on my own before my alarm, fully awake and ready to go...

But, and i think there are several reasons for this, i'm tired, like dead tired in the afternoon-early evening. I think this might be due to oh i don't know the 6 month old baby growing inside me?!?!?  at least i'm hoping this is the reason :)

Okay, so that's my update i guess:) We'll see how the next few days go!

How's everyone else doing on your new year goals?

AWE NUTS!

Kempton turned three yesterday...

BUT....

We lost the cord to the Stupid dying digital camera that blurs every shot and i just wanna chuck it Digital Camera... :(

So, no pics to upload of his sweetness.  But we did pull out our ancient dinasour digital video recorder that we bought back in 2003! We videoed about 12 minutes of the kids running around playing pin the tail on the donkey...

then, cause the kids were curious, we rewound the tape to the begining (kempton's actual birth...) and sad to say we found that INCLUDING the 12 minutes we recorded yesterday, we only had a total of about 30 minutes of footage... FOR 3 YEARS! hmmm. good parents.... good documenting all those special times...

although it is handy that our digital camera has the video clip feature that is easier to upload to the computer, i still feel bad...

but, anyways, now we have ourselves a 3 year old! (if only he were potty trained:)
