bad blogger

Well it is official I'm a bad blogger! I can not seem to post with any regularity! Oh well I guess I should just let that one go!

I keep forgetting to weigh myself I weighed myself the day after my last post and had lost 1lb but I know there is fluctuation day to day I really need to remember to weigh myself again before I eat in the morning since I don't want to add extra weight. Also want to take measurements again but that will probably have to wait till I get back from my quick trip to D.C. (need to get my Israel papers in order and since they will not call me back....)

Anyway just wanted to check in, not doing great on the eating front but doing a bit better and have been exercising more. Really need to step it up though!

Restart

Ok so you know what they say about good intentions? Yeah well I really did have good intentions but well this is going to be hard! but SPRING IS HERE so I'm going to give this a good honest shot again ok I'm just going to do it no trying no shot just doing it!!!!!!

I need a good strong cheering squad who is up for that job?

I measured myself today and its pretty bad news I'm putting it on here well b/c I don't think its right not to but its pretty embarrassing.

I weigh 170.4
Hips size is 43
Fatest part of my stomach is 43 1/2 and by my belly button is 38
No idea what the right way to measure is LOL but figured that was a good baseline!

So 26pounds in 6months who thinks I can do it?

Wow now I feel rotten... Just told Avi my measurements and he said my waist is bigger then his... Yeah he prob should have kept that to himself b/c now I'm crying!!! Gosh I dont even know if I have the guts to post this! I know my waist is probably larger b/c I carried TWINS but seriously did that need to be said? He apologized but uggh I feel horrible!

Day 2

OK so far today I've not eaten enough but that could be because I STILL need to go shopping!!! Have not finished my menu and really want to get that done before I go shop so I can do this the most cost effective way possible. I got a bit carried away last night figuring out how much calories, crabs and protein are in each meal I'm planing (this way I can make sure I'm eating enough but not to much!) I think its just my personality, I really really love planing things and I go a bit overboard at times but hey if it helps me loose the weight great right?

I forgot I was going to work out this morning, we had a bit of a rough night again last night with the twins I was up with one of them a lot last night (not as much as the night before) but they did not get up till 9:30 this morning so I stayed in bed till they woke up! Once they got up I had to give my son his meds and then wait 30min to feed him and then his PT came soooooo I kind of forgot. I need to make it a habit but I guess they take time to make right? anyway I'll workout this afternoon when they wakeup from their naps.

So yesterday I ate a bowl of cereal and milk for breakfast (had the same today not the most healthy but its easy, I need to come up with some good healthy breakfasts but eggs strait make me sick so anything I have will be a bit more complicated then crisbix with milk) for lunch I took 2 pieces of whole wheat bread and sliced tomato on it and then put a piece of Munster cheese and broiled it. had half a red pepper with it! came out very very yummy!

Dinner was Tuna Noodle Casserole and a bean/veggie soup! so not horrible and I restrained myself from snacks which is really the big feat for me! I ate only 2 jelly beans the whole day!!!!!!!!!!!

So I was going to weigh myself today but the scale gave me 4 different weights between 165 and 168 soooooo I think I need a new scale!

wrote this earlyer but did not finish it and dont have time to finish it now

Day 1- It begins

Ok so here is what I'm challenging myself to do: Loose 25pounds in 6months seems reasonable right? I mean thats about 1lb a week should not be to hard... RIGHT???? I'm not kidding myself though I know this is going to take work. I think I'll start by working out once in the morning with my kids and once after my kids eat lunch (they love working out with me) secondly I will start eating healthier snacks for example a carrot stick which I was hopping to be chomping on as I typed this but sadly did not find in my refrigerator so I guess I need to go shopping to buy healthy snacks to eat!

I also want to have a menu for lunch and dinner. I think I'm going to aim for a 2 week menu dont have the exact same thing every week (boooooooring) this way I know what I'm going to eat and dont fall prey to the I dont know what to eat so I'll eat a chocolate bar thing.

OK finally I'm going to try really hard to have at least 5 servings of veggies a day and 3 servings of fruit! Oh did I mention the 8 cups of water?

Well my homework for today is to write a menu (oh yeah and make lunch and dinner) while my twins are napping. who knew taking care of ones self would be so difficult after having twins?

I guess I should put my weight down, as embarrassing as it may be...... well maybe a bit later :) hey my kids need to get ready for nap time!
