Weight Watchers and more...
Ok... kickboxing is awesome... I joined a local class for 6 weeks and I am on my third class and I think I am still recovering from my first class on Saturday and it is Tuesday! I really hope this class is going to kick up my weight loss goals... I am down 18.4 pounds since September... I am really hoping that I hit the 20 pound star this week when I weigh in on Thursday. Overall I am down 44.4. The baby weight is gone and now on the battle really begins. I have a personal goal of losing 105 pounds by my 28th birthday... so I have til near the end of October to make that happen... I have to consistently lose 1.5 pounds a week... yikes. There are going to be weeks when I lose .2 (like last week) and weeks when I lose 3.4 (two weeks before that)...
I am learning to cook too and buy good snacks. There are some amazing snacks out there now that actually taste good - Fiber One makes these awesome chocolate granola bars that are only 2 pts. and have 9 grams of fiber! But the best part is that they are YUMMY! A perfect breakfast! Another yummy snack is the 100 calorie pack Hostess cupcakes (chocolate chocolate ROCK) and you get three mini cupcakes for 1 point! And my newest discover is the Hershey's Reeses Pieces 100 calorie packs- 2 pts for peanut butter heaven!
Well enough about weight loss and lifestyle changes...
Little Emma boo has two teeth and has decided that she prefers to be awake from about 2a.m. -4a.m. every night... I don't know why... she is teething and maybe the top teeth are more painful but oh i don't know if i can do this no sleeping thing forever... We took her to the doctor thinking maybe an ear infection was to blame and sure enough - she's as healthy as can be... I am relieved but I would have loved the quick fix of amoxicillian too! Last night wasn't as bad as the weekend and we managed not to feed her like we had been - the doc said we would train her to be hungry in the night if we kept feeding her... I think I baby her more than I did Anna - mostly because I know she is my last baby and even more so because I don't want her to wake her older sister! None the less, I love my babies and am thankful that they are healthy and happy.
It is just 4 weeks from Saturday til our cruise... leaving my munchkins for 7 days is going to be tough but the time away with just Adam is going to be so fantastic... my passport arrived, we set up our snorkeling trip in Cancun and now we can try to kick up the weight loss in anticipation of the trip. The one thing I want to do on this trip is NOT GAIN WEIGHT... for those of you that have cruised before... there is a lot of food options and generally just a lot of food- I want to work out while we are on the cruise and try to stay in the game...
Work is still work... always looking for the next challenge... We got our countertops in the kitchen and have just a few finishing touches before we have a Superbowl party this Sunday.
Well here is the finished counters and new paint color... it is a very soothing green... It took some time to adjust too but I love it now.

Good job on all the weight loss stuff!! That is awesome.
Did I tell you I joined weight watcher about 4 weeks ago. I too love the hostess snacks:) I also love WW ice cream bars covered in oreo cookie crumbs.
I'm wanting to lose a large amount of weight as well. I've made it my goal to lose weight before I have another kid. Packing on the pounds with each kid has not been very pleasant for my body:)
I'v been doing a reformer pilates class at the YMCA...talk about being sore afterwards. It's all these pilates moves on a machine that gives resistance. I can feel my abs burning for days.
I love Fiber One granola bars! Yum! Have I told you how incredibly impressed I am with your weight loss determination? You make me at least acknowledge that I'm not taking care of my body....now doing something about it, that's another story. You are doing great! Thanks for the update.
