Oh TV, Oh TV, Where for art thou TV?


I love my TV. I watch way too many shows, DVR those that I miss and find myself watching those I don't even care about. Simply because it is there. Since being pregnant, I have lost much of the weight--40+ pounds, but considering I gained nearly 60 pounds, I definitely had alot to lose. I think that may be the first time I included that information on this blog. Anyway, it was way too much. I am now paying the price. I am slowing getting rid of it, but it is a huge work in progress. Before we attempt Baby #2, I am promising myself to get back down to my good old size 10. I have a bit to go. You're probably wondering how this is all related. Time is ticking. Baby #2 needs to come soon, so the weight needs to go--along with the TV. I am hoping this is the incentive I need to get my big bootie off this couch and get moving. However, since in ND (where I had NO cable--did I mention NONE, NOT A, ZIP, NILCH? And for all you smarties out there--yes, there is cable in ND, but since my Grandma's house is sitting empty, they cancelled the Direct TV)I have been sitting here watching our 12 stations, 4 of which are in Spanish and 1 in French. It has been kind of painful, but I guess I am doing okay. I miss my DVR. I miss HGTV. I'm not sure I miss the shows exactly, but I miss having the option to watch them if I choose. Chris isn't sure that I will make it through the summer, but it is a challenge I'd love to accept! So, from now on, please don't talk to us about what happened on "Moving Up," "One Tree Hill," "UFC," "The Deadliest Catch," or any other show that is not on PBS. If you have a question about what you missed on "Clifford," "Sesame Street," or "Teletubbies," then hey, I'm your gal. I take that back, I hate "Teletubbies." So for now, let the countdown continue--no extended cable for 9 days and counting.

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

7 weeks

7 weeks has brought a couple of changes for sweet baby Mya. She is eating 5+ ounces of milk/feeding. Mya is much more awake now. She typically sleeps for about 4 hours during the day, otherwise is checking out this big bad world. Mya seems to enjoy our daily walks. She looks around and is a pretty content kiddo. Claire tends to her pacis if the need arises. We've introduced her to the activity mat, which she enjoys if she is left alone; however, given the fact that Claire too is fascinated by the mat and Mya, being left alone is a rare occurence. Mya sits in the swing daily, although she isn't a huge fan at this point. We're hoping to change her ways. She is strong, holding her head for minutes at a time and loves standing on her little feet. Mya has begun smiling. She has done this consistently for the past several days, but it is difficult to capture such an event on film as she stops smiling the moment you break eye-contact. This milestone is such a heart melting one. Th...
