Back to School!

Tweet

Or I guess, technically, for us, it is called, On to School! We are coming up on the beginning of our first year of homeschooling! Little Bear, Bradley, is 4 years old and an official preschooler! We have been working our our homeschool space over the weekend, and will continue to work on it this week. We decided that instead of using the corner in the living room, where all the electronic distractions are, we would school in our bedroom, where the distractions are limited. (And there is more room!) Check out my homeschooling blog for more updates! We are super excited to be sharing this with all of you!

Fight the Scale Friday 8/13/10

Tweet

Hi everyone! :) This has been a really good week. I started focusing on getting more activity, and I ate really well. I tried hummus again this past week and I really like it (just not the garlic flavor with carrots, yuck.) I also found out that a nearby gym is giving away free memberships that last through the end of this year! I am SO getting one! The facility is very nice, they have a cardio theatre, a women's fitness room, a coed room, a dry heat sauna, tanning, and massages! Best of all, the owner is a Christian!

On to the weigh in...

Last week's weight

269.2

This week's weight...

267.2
(-2.0 lbs)
And that is a total of 20 lbs lost since the end of May!!

Make sure to visit Krystal, over at The Clever Mommy Chronicles, and cheer her on as she loses weight!

Mamavation Monday - Back on the wagon!

Tweet

(I am writing this Friday night, so if the timeline seems off, it is!)

I guess you could say I am back to normal! I haven't weighed myself officially, but I am going to work on getting back into my healthy eating and exercise routine for about a week, then see what the scale has to say. My last weight before I got sick was 275.8, so I am going by that to see how my weight next week compares. I am officially beginning exercise again tonight (Friday) as I go on a walk with my sister and dad. I am a little nervous as I have been out of a routine now for almost 3 weeks. And I still lack a little bit of energy.

My goals for this week are to journal what I eat, and begin adding exercise back into the mix. And I am still struggling with getting ALL of my water in. I really want to buy a Hydracoach water bottle to help me with this! Maybe I will be able to get one with my Scentsy commission!

I would like to thank my friends and family, and especially God for bringing me through this battle with Colitis. I am a very healthy person, so being sick for 3 weeks, really had me down in the dumps.

This week's Mamavation Sponsor is @Gruvesolution I am so interested in these little things! It's like a pedometer that let's you know when you are not being active enough! Awesome. I would love to have one! Click here to visit their website!
