Friday Weigh-In

I weighed in this morning and I lost exactly 4 lbs since Monday morning!!

Love that!!!

While I have continued to take pics of everything I eat,  it is really hard to find time at home to upload the pics everyday. I will try to figure out a better way to do it next week. But I may only upload the pics on the days that I work since I am at the computer all day. The other days I will just post a description of what I ate. Who knows, I may even track my calories. ;)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Easter weekend!  

What Mama Ate - Day 2 (April 19, 2011)

Breakfast:

Fruit & Coffee (1 creamer & 1 Splenda)

Lunch:

Pure Protein Shake

PM Snack:

Oatmeal

Dinner:

Bowl of Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheats w/Skim Milk (x 2)

I am a bridesmaid in one of my best friends wedding on April 30th. So, I have been trying to lose a little bit of weight before then. I have decided that I will post my weightloss each Friday on here. No stalkers, I am not brave enough to tell you my actual weight BUT I will post how much I lost/gained from week to week. I plan on continuing this even after the wedding too. I would like to get to my "goal weight" before my husband and I start trying for Baby Whitfield #2.

My Goal Weightloss: 26 lbs

Wish me LUCK!!

What Mama Ate- Day 1 (Actually 4/18/2011)

Okay so I have come up with a new way to keep myself accountable. It's called "What Mama Ate". Thank God I don't have many followers because this is probably gonna get pretty boring. I am going to post pics of everything that I eat each day. Feel free to leave me a nasty comment if I should ever post a picture of fast food. I am depending on YOU to keep me in line. ;)

**Also- Unless otherwise specified I had water with my meals.**

Some days...

-Some days I wake up ready to fill every second of Avery's day with fun and excitement.

-Some days I get all the laundry done.

-Some days I have a perfect meal planned out for dinner.

-Some days I deal with toddler tantrums with a smile on my face.

-Some days I have it all figured out.

Today is NOT one of those days. =(

*Update: When I sat down for 2 minutes to write this, my dog ate an entire loaf of brand new bread.*

"Dat Funny Mama?"

Lately Avery is always trying to entertain Michael & I. He loves to make us laugh so now after he does ANYTHING he says "Dat funny Mama?". A lot of times it is funny but sometimes I have to tell him, "No son, that is NOT funny!".  Here is a quick list of Avery "funnies":

-Kick the dog in the ass

-Slap the dog in the face

-Eat dog food

-Slap himself in the face

-Throw huge toy into the wall

-Jump on Daddy's head while he is snoring on the couch.

-Spit

-Talk about poo poo & pee pee

-Scream

-Take off shit diaper & run from us

-Hide while wearing a shit diaper

-Lock the dogs in the bathroom

-Throw food at dinner

-Put himself in time out (okay, that was funny)

The list goes on....

While I applaud his desire to entertain us, this little dude needs some serious work on his humor or Mommy is gonna lose it.

Top 2 Tuesday- Favorite Drinks

1. Sweet Tea

Some good ole' fresh made sweet tea poured over a tall glass of ice is DELISH! I'm talking the REAL sweet tea with REAL sugar. And don't you dare put a lemon in it! However, since the guilt of drinking sugar tends to consume my thoughts, I don't get to enjoy sweet tea too often. For now fresh UN-sweetened tea will have to do. ;)

2. Tall Nonfat No-Whip Mocha

(with an extra shot...if needed)

I'll admit it- I'm a Starbucks addict! I would have one every morning if I could.

Miscellany Monday

1. Child Care
Finding someone you trust to care for your child whom you love more than you could ever love yourself is damn near impossible. The end!

2. Mama Time

I hope I enjoy Zumba tonight as much as I enjoy my Cardio/Strength class. More than anything I am looking for a way to release stress, getting in shape is just a bonus! If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy so this Mama better get happy ASAP!

3. The Mind of a Toddler
Avery continues to amaze me with his creativity each and everyday. He is so full of life and fun ideas!

(see below for proof)

Skapris!!

So, last week I accidentally bought some Skapris. How does a person "accidentally" buy something you ask? Well, nowadays when I shop for myself it looks like a scene from Super Market Sweeps. I run around the store like a mad woman and collect random shit that I think may fit and I think may be cute. I'm a mom... I have no time, so I am in a perpetual state on hurriedness (?). Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. So anyways, I was trying to buy some more black capri leggings to go under a cute tunic. I grabbed some and headed to check out. They rang up as $32, which I thought was high but whatever, I was in a hurry.

I pull them out of the bag today (a week later) and notice that my leggings have a damn skirt attached to it. WTF?! I put them on and fell in love. They are sooo comfy! I just may where them to workout tonight. =)

Buy some now! You're welcome!

First off, I'm loving that I am BACK!

I am so loving Mystic Tan right now! I feel (and look) so much better with a little tan. The new Mystic Tan has a drying cycle that makes your tan look very natural and even. A great tan minus the skin cancer = YES PLEASE!

I'm also loving the beautiful sunshine! It has been great park weather, which makes my little man and I very HAPPY! Speaking of, when I pick him up today we are heading straight for the park. =)

I'm loving this awesome little facial scrub. It exfoliates and cleanses your face so good. Getcha one!

I'm also LOVING the Cardio, Strength & Conditioning class that I am taking. It whoops my arse and I feel like I may throw up each time but I want MORE MORE MORE! ;) In addition to this class, I signed up for Zumba that starts next week!
