There always comes a point where things in life tend to take over the time and mind of a person. Right now that is happening to me. Life is getting complicated and I am having a hard time keeping my mind in the zone I need it to be in for weight loss. I did walk this week, but am trying to get to it today and I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I need to do it.
I am pretty sure I will, but I have so many other things that need to get done today also.
Ok, no more writing, I'm going to work out right now!
See ya!

Same weight this week
I appear to not have moved on the scale. I actually think I may not have eaten enough this week.
I worked out a lot, mostly five miles each day and ate under 1300 calories every day. But I also upped my weight lifting so that may account for the no change. But maybe I'll have a bigger number next week to make up for this week.
Birthday party today for Scarlett! She's turning five on Monday, but we had the party today since tomorrow is Easter and Monday is a school day.
Faith and Ben came for the birthday.
We had a nice time. I am not feeling too good right now, belly troubles. I think it's because I ate birthday cake, and I haven't had anything like that for a good month and a half.
So, anyway, that's all for now!
Until next time!

Another three pounds bite the dust
Fantastic news on the weight loss front. Three pounds gone. They will not be missed.
Been crazy and busy here with Josh working eight days in a row with no day off. And now it's great because I am about to go into my sewing room and get working. It's just been a while since my last post so I thought I'd better get on it!
Total weight loss to date is 18 lbs.
I am very proud of that. And I have been working very hard. Although I could probably do more working out. But I don't think I'd better push it, I don't want to burn myself out. I already do one hour a day. But I may try to add in more dancing or something extra. Also it will be easier to get in extra activity for myself and the kids once the weather improves and we can take trips to Fort Stevens and do the lake and some hikes and walking on the beach. Those are always fun things to do.
Also I am thinking once we have a good job that it would be nice to find out how I can get Hannah signed up to learn horse back riding. I think she would be amazing at it. I just don't know if there is something if you don't actually own a horse. Because I know we aren't going there, Horses are crazy expensive to keep.
Here is a recent photo!

Five pounds...wa wa wa what?
Yep! I lost five pounds last week. At least that's what the scale is telling me.
I'm still walking every day and eating well. So I think the walking is becoming a habit now. Which makes life easier.
Still getting about a sale a day on my Etsy shop. While that is good, it's a lot slower than it used to be.
But part of me just thinks it's the time of year. I just wish the Christmas stuff could be more spread out, because last christmas killed me! I am not sure what I will do this time around. Maybe just offer a ton of new items as is, no modifications and then I can just mail them out as I have them. But I'm not sure how much surplus I can get made by then.
I was contemplating slowing down the shop yesterday, thinking I spend way too much time on it and perhaps I should focus more on the kids. But then all three will be in full time, all day school starting in September.
Well it's a lot of things to think about.
I have decided that I am going to let my hair grow out again, while I like it short for the most part, I hate waking up with my hair being completely insane and the only way to make it look presentable is to shower, because brushing it doesn't cut it. And when it's longer you can brush it or put it in a ponytail and then immediately you are presentable.
Friday begins Spring Break for the kids, and Josh's school too. All next week I will have to figure out what to do with all my munchkins, say a long prayer to whoever you pray to that we will have decent, and by decent I mean not rainy, weather for at least some of the week next week. It might be nice to get some yard work done. Maybe Spring will actually arrive sometime soon.
It's rained everyday for the past two months pretty much and I'm frankly just about at my wits end with it all. I told Josh yesterday I wouldn't mind moving to North Carolina, or Arizona or somewhere where it doesn't rain all day every day for months. The poor kids, there are months where they can do nothing outside! SUCKS!!!!
I think I've got a bad case of PMS and a weather related mood disorder.

Lost another 2 pounds
Yippee! Down a total of 11 pounds since starting last month. Good on me!
I walked today for a little over an hour, did four miles. I have been used to getting five miles walked each day, so today was a little shorter.
I have lots of work to do and I have to take care of the kids while Josh is at work. He's gone a lot lately.
Been working tons of shifts at the hospital. So it's kind of sucky to not see him that much.
Anyway, good news about the loss, I'll take it!
Love this pic!! Want to do this with Josh! :)

Lost another pound
Since last week, I lost one pound. That doesn't sound like much, but it is a loss at least. I have walked every day since coming back from my trip to Italy. That's about a month now of every day walking. And the calories have been under for the last week what I should be eating. So I am probably just needing to actually eat more calories. Although it seems counter intuitive to do that.
Last night we got a couple of pizza's from Papa Murphy's the take and bake kind. For me I got a d-lite veggie pizza and it was soooo good. Plus I was really hungry!
I have a bit of leftovers of that also. I think I may have it again tonight for dinner.
Been working hard with the shop this week, lots of orders and a new Liberty of London fabric that a customer from Japan requested that I get so she could have a wallet made from it. So I made it and she ordered it and also another wallet for her friend. So that was a great sale! And I get to have another Liberty of London wallet in the shop!
Kids are all doing well. I'm trying to make healthy eating a thing in the house that we pick all the time. Especially getting the kids to choose healthy, which they usually always do. They love fruit and we try to keep a lot of it around. Also broccoli is a good one with the kids, they always eat that too.
I just need to figure out what to cook for dinners, I always have a hard time with this!
I am not so good at planning out meals.
That's something to strive to get better at.
So just to sum up, since I got home from Italy I have lost 9 pounds. And it's been one month.
So that's a pretty good number for one month! I'd take that every month!
Here's a photo of five pounds and one pound of fat, I lost almost two of those big ones! Yuck!

Snow day?!
Today was a bit icy so the school's were cancelled. The kids were home all day and it was a good day overall. I got my hour and twenty minutes of walking in. I walked five miles. And then I did a few weights for the upper body. Then I also got a few orders today for wallets so I worked on those the rest of the day. Got about three completely sewn and the rest cut out and interfaced for working on tomorrow.
Josh has to work every Fri, Sat and Sun for the entire month of March, the 2:30 to 11:00 shift. Which sucks, but that's the only shift they really give him. I guess the day shifts are always taken. But it looks like there is hope that he may get to work in the ER for his internship part and then possibly that can turn into full time once he gets the RN degree/license.
I hope he is able to get days and not nights some time in the future. I just miss him when he's gone. Night time is the best time to hang out without the kids and watch movies, etc.
So it sucks that he's gone all weekend essentially.
Ok, enough complaining! I did really well on eating today and for dinner had a protein shake we made with frozen bananas, protein powder, vanilla yogurt, skim milk and a little reduced fat peanut butter. It was really good. And I'm not hungry which is the plus of the protein!
Off to bed! Will walk and eat good tomorrow, and every other day for the rest of my life!
