39 Weeks

Here is Nicki and I, we realized that we didnt have any "pregnant" pictures of the two of us togather. This picture was taken on Dec 30, 2011 I was so ready to not be pregnant at this point. I was so sure that my baby would be here before Christmas then that didnt happen, I had the whole week after Christmas off from work and I was sure that she would come that week......That didnt happen. I basicaly spent that whole week walking,cleaning,hanging out with my mom, and sleeping. I was so freaking tired that week. This day was horrible I was so emotional, I was worried because I wanted my baby to come before the end of the year because then everything would be covered under my insurance, and it just wasnt happenin. Then we thought that my couisin was going to have her baby this day and she wasnt due until two weeks after me....... that was the last straw, I seriouly just cried. It didnt matter what people said that day it would make me cry !!!! I went to my moms house to hang out and me and Nicki and her "little" dog Syd just curled up on the couch and slept. So this is me and 39 weeks pregant and I think Nicki is around 20 or 21 weeks pregnant.

As I got to the end of my pregnancy and just wanted my baby here soooo freakin bad I realized some things all the women I talked to were like go walking, try caster oil ect...... they were all about getting the baby here. All the guys were like she will come when she's ready it will be okay ect.... I just found that kinda interesting !!!! Even my brothers friend ( who is not married or has no girlfriend and really no expierence with babies or pregnant women) was very reasuring in the fact that "she" ( my baby ) would come when she is ready. ) REALLY...... When he told me that I almost killed him how the hell would he know. I know he was trying to be suportive and since its the thought that counts, and earlier that day he had offered to take me for a ride on his razor to help me go into labor I didnt go phycho pregnant beotch on him, but I kinda found it funney after the fact.......

I hate to study !!!

Its that time of year again, the annual rocking v tests ahhhhh I hate spending my time studying at night I would much rather, stock blogs and watch t.v !!! ha ha It will be nice to start waitresing again though ( I love me extra spending m0ney !!! ) So far this week I have done good on the exercize and eating front hopefully the scale shows me some love on Thurs at weight watchers.

p.s I obviously should have studied more earlier in life because I think there are maybe two words in this post that are spelled correctly.

kicken butt

This has been a great week for me at my weight watchers weigh in last night I lost 5.4lbs yeah !!!! Now if I can just keep it up. Now more than ever do I believe its all the little things that add up, this last week if I had candy I counted it ( no more little tastes here and there ) I also started walking on my lunch break, and its amazing. I have thought about doing it in the past but was always worried about what would people think of me out there in my work clothes wondering around, or what shoes should I wear ???? would my work shoes be to uncomfortable .....ect..... ( I really overthink things ) but this week I just did it. It really feels good to go outside get some fresh air, sunshine and excercize in the middle of the day and it really helps with my afternoon cravings. It seem like usually after lunch I just want to eat treats the rest of the day and this has really been helping.

39 weekly points left

(side note: even though I went over points I feel good about the fact that I counted everything and none of it was just mindless eating )


So I really have been trying counting "most" of my points, working out ect... Yesterday I was so discurraged because I was tired and didnt want to get up and work out and since I had worked out 6 days in a row I didnt really feel to bad about taking a day off. When I did my daily weigh in I was so annoyed that it wasnt any different that it has been when I had been working my butt of for the last little while. So I decided it was time to get serious and go back to meetings before this gets any worse. The meeting just so happened to be on how just because one serving is 2 points it does mean that 2 servings is 4 ect... So that got me kinda thinking about all the LITTLE things I just pop in my mounth. (aka hershey kisses ) I came home and figured out the points for them um yah 1 piece. So if I have a couple in the afternoon and a couple in the evening freak that could be like 10 extra points a day. and let me tell you Im not one of those people that done eat all her points I dont have points to spare. So this week im and going to track EVERYTHING !!!!! So we will see how it goes. Kinda makes since that im been stuck



Um yah lets call this a "before" picture !!! Hopefully soon there is and "after" picture that looks alot better !!!

Happy Birthday Mom

Tuesday was my mom's birthday so her,my dad,Kaden,Breanna,and Kloe came over and we went to dinner then came to my house for some cake. I love my mom so much she is ALWAYS doing so much for me. She really is my bestfriend, I have to talk to her atleast once everyday most of the time more. She turned 45 so here is 45 of the reasons I love her !!!

1.Shopping trips

2.Going to her house for dinner ( seriouly she wouldnt mind if we came every night )

3. She helps me soooo sooo much with everything.

4. When Ope got hit by a car and I had to take her to Hurricane to the vet she took the day off work and went with us . She drove the whole way with Oprah standing on the console breathing dog breath all over and she never complained once.

5. She's fun to hang out with

6. She drops everything when I need her ( When I have had to go to the doctor recently it wasnt really planned and she dropped everything so we could go that day. )

7. She usually has some kind of gossip to tell me !!! he he he

8. She ran a half marathon with me

9. She lost like 70 pounds with me

10. She always makes me the BEST chocolate cake to take to work and share

11. When something im wearing doesnt look so hot she can tell me in a nice way

12. She can pick out clothes for me

13. she does pick out clothes for me and just buys them for me

14. When ever I do her hair she helps me clean I mean DEAP clean my house

15. She is as excited as I am or more for me to "someday" (hopefully soon) have a baby

16. she's the best grandma ever

17. She still remembers her first grandkids Ope and Bluey ( she buys them presents too )

18. She lets Ope and Bluey climb all over her when she comes to visit ( um yah the are very misbehaved )

19. She taught me work ethic

20. She has more energy than I even dream about ( she broke her foot and had to have surgury so I went over to help her, I get there and she is vacuming the curtins and ceiling !! wtf ??? I dont even do that when im well and fine )

21. Before she broke her foot she would walk like 5 or 6 miles and day (pretty motivating )

22. When we go shopping we always stop at Dairy Queen for a "treat" on the way home.

23. She still gets me an easter basket

24. She gets me a mothers day present too. (cause im Ope and Bluey's momma )

25. She taught me that if its raining or snowing out you might as well just put you're hair in a pony tail

26. She used to let us eat choc pudding for breakfast ( only sometimes )

27. The brady bunch (one day when I was in 2nd grade and home sick from school she told me to watch this show I would like it and I did and I still watch it from time to time.....)

29. The OC ( oh how I loooooved that show, When Nicki and I both lived in Kanab we would have OC night every Thursday. We would get some escobars, and a coke from juction and hang out at Nicki's and watch away)

30. she taught me to clean and to have a clean house ( sometimes im sure she thinks that this isnt true but it is way way deep down in side mom Im as much as a clean freak as you.)

31. hmmmm well she still looks 31and im runnign out of things. Although there are many reasons more why I love my mom. This list probably makes it sound like I just love shopping with her and that she does tons of things for me and buys me stuff but I really do love my mom soooo sooo much and and am soooo THANKFULL for everything she does for me, and I hope someday I can be as wonderful as mom and grandma as she is . I love you mom.

Tomarrow is new day

Thank god !! So starting tomarrow im going to start posting what im eating and the points because I need to do something to stay more acountable, because even though im doing okay on the excerize part im really sucking on the eating. I always start the day really good then around 11:00 im wanting a "treat" then starts the candy train usually until about 8:00 or 9:00 at night. WTF im not hungry so why do I eat so much ????? I just tell my self that tomarrow is a new day and its up to me to make good choices. Even though the scale is up a little bit it could be a whole hell of alot worse......because it has been so im just going to be happy that it is where it is and work on getting back down.

Happy Monday

I did it I got my hour of exercize in today I did 30 mins of running intervals on the treadmill this morning and then another 30mins on the elipical after work. The after work workout was a major accomplishment because usually after work I just want to come home and veg out infront of the tv or computer !!!! ( Yah I have a "very" active lifestyle ) ha ha but im trying to change that. Hear is my dinner all that for 8points+ not bad. It was alright not amazing but ok.

I always seem to be able to stay within my points on Monday and make good choices, I kinda feel like Monday are a fresh start, and usually after my weekends I need it !!!!

Goals met !!!

I did it I workout out everyday last week mon-sat. I dont even remember the last time that happend, so on Sat afternoon I took my little self to the store and got my some new magazines !!!! So for this week its the same plan except this time im going to try to make it at least 1hr a day, I need to start seeing some results !!! I think I might need a new shirt or something if I can make it all week this week !!!

Vegas 2010

In December my mom and I ran the LasVegas rock and roll half marathon. We had a lot fun Im so used to running by myself it was nice to have someone to talk to the whole time.

We went to Vegas the day before and we wanted to make sure that we had plenty of time to shop so I think we left at like 6:30 in the morning !!!! Oh we had plenty of time to shop we were in Vegas by 10:00. My dad is such a trooper at such events he gladly just came along and drove us around to store after store, mall after mall. Even when we would tell him a wrong road and we would get a little lost he would just joke about it. Seriously he had me laughing so hard a few times there was seriouly tears running down my face. We had to go pick up our running packets at the expo at Harrahs, well the nfr is taking place the same weekend and thats the same place as cowboy chrismas. So trying to find a place to park was pretty much imposible. After driving around the parking garage forever we saw these people standing in a space saving it. So we were like what the heck thats what we are going to have to do so we waited till we saw some people getting off the elevator and then kinda followed them to their car and my mom jumped out to save their place. Well it sounded like a good plan but another car wanted the place too so the freakin people started yelling mean names at my mom, but we got the place !!!! (maybe you had to bring their but at the time I was laughing, evan my mom thought it was pretty funney )Later that day we were still joking about it we met up with Nicki and her and my mom were riding in her car and my dad would be all hey call youre mom and tell her to get out and save us a place in the parking lot !!!!! After a day of shopping with my mom I was already exhausted by the time it was time to run the next morning !!!!
I was so glad when it was over. We didnt get to do to many fun "vegas" things the night before, but we went a few places and did a few things. Nicki tried to talk us into going out and living it up....... but maybe next time !!!!

Goals

My goal for this week is to get back on the exercize bandwagon. I dont know why I find it so hard to get started because I always feel so much better even when I just do a little bit. So thats my plan for the week just do something.....anything everyday this week Mon-Sat. I made a little chart of my workouts if I stick with the chart great but as long as I do somthing everyday at least totalling an hour I will be proud. My reward for doing this all week is going to be some new magazines. Its scary how many magazines I buy each month so atleast this week I will be earning them !!!! So far so good my work out today was 30 mins yoga, 25 mins firm weights, 15 mins treadmill running, and 20 mins elliptical. This is the first time I have done yoga and I really liked it.

Back to blogging

Im going to start blogging again ......soon I need something to be accountable for my workouts and eating right.

Saturday

5k 28 mins 331 calories

Me and Breanna did the 5k run for the fair this morning, It was a good time !!!! Here is Laci,Breanna,me and Kloe our little cheerleader at my moms house before the race.

I got my boutiful basket today, and im determined to use everything in there, and cook more so I started with this: chopped it up





Gettin creative !!!!. I mixed this stuff with some curry powder, basil leaves, and a little bit of splenda.


Threw the veggies in one of these.

I love these things, they are amazing. Im all about cooking in the wicrowave ~ I could probably cook thanksgiving dinner in there !!!!




Cooked up some of this

I then through the vegetables,coconut milk,and spices in a pan heated it up mixed all together good, and ...........sorta like a low fat thai curry.
This is how it turned out, im very surprised it turned out so good since I was kinda just going with what I had and not really following a recipie or anything, and Bill actually liked it ALOT !!!! yeah for me. I estimated it to be about 4 or 5 ww points with a 1/2 cup of rice

I did it

Workout: 38 mins legs&glutes 258calories, 110 crunches
I actually got out of bed and worked out today finaly and it feels so good. I need to remember that every morning !!! This is the first time I had done that workout and it was good. My legs were jello long before it was over. Here is my breakfast total ww points:5

tomarrows a new day

So total workouts for the week: 1 1hour walk, im really giving it my all lately ha ha oh well tomarrows a new day, and a new weight watchers week time to get serious and be more acountable. At least my eating hasnt been that bad......so at least im maintaining.but im not going to lie I freakin love these things amazing ....

Just Do Something !!!

Thats my plan !!! I signed up for a half marathon on July 17th and I have been really struggling to train for it. Im on this kick where I do really good getting up and going running 4 or so times a week, for a week, then the next week NADA THING AHHHH its so frusterating. I want to get up but its hard.....im tired !!! ha ha Sometimes I feel like if im not running then no other workout is worth the time cause I burn the most calories when I run even though I know how important cross training, and weights are. So im telling my self that all I have to run is 3 days a week. This week it will be Tues, Thurs and "probably" Sat !!! Then on the other days all I have to do is one of my workout dvd's ( with one rest day ) even if its just 20 mins I always feel so much better and have more energy after I work out. P.s I work full time at one job and 3 or 4 nights a week at another waitressing so I feel like thats a valid excuse.....right ???? It is for me !!!! We have a thing going at rocking v where I waitress that we will all do 200 crunches a day this week so I will be doing those as well. !!!!

When Life gives you lemons.....

So I guess when life gives you lemons they say you are supposed to make lemonade ...right or do tequilia shots one or the other but lets be honest my lemons have been sitting in the fridge gettting moldy ewww..... Heres the story ever since I tried to do the 13miles at one time on the treadmill its never been the same ( I dont know why ???) and probably never will. Its got so bad that I cant run on it(and since I dont really want to buy a new one right now )instead of walking I have mostly just been sleeping in ..... NOT EXERCIZING ummm... not so smart. Not with my less than steller eating habits Ive had lately it hasnt equelled out to a very good picture. Okay so its not that bad I only gained like 7lbs not 70 but it must stop here, and its going to. Hers how
1. until its light enough out side to run in the morning I will be running after work on the nights I dont work at rocking v ( I tried it today just to make sure it wouldnt kill me and it didnt so here I go...)
2.On days that I have to work at rocking v im going to crank the incline and walk on the treadmill I might not burn as many calories as running but anything is better than nothing.
3. Eating habits they need to improve I dont need 7 treat nights a week maybe one or two and they are treat "nights" not days or weeks !!!!
4. Weights at least 3 days a week, pilats 2 and abs at least every other day..... about the abs the time has come for the ole abs to step it up a litte. More on that later.....
so thats the plan 4 easy little steps right.....right so here is dinner for tonight

I threw these things (not all at the same time !!) in the microwave and cooked dinner while mopping the floor!!!! oh yah thats multi tasking at its best people.

Back on Track

Im happy to anounce that I feel like I did a good job last week. My goal was to do something every day and I did I dragged my self out of bed,and im glad. Its amazing what a little exercize will do for you, im seriously so much happier, and productive when im working out. So my goals for this week are 3 firm workouts and cardio 6 days. So far so good !!!!
