#iwillrockthis: Week 3


This is how I feel right now. It’s been a rough week or two. I’m down 2 lbs overall, but still. Between a nasty stomach bug (possible ulcer?) and a kerbillion family events, my focus just hasn’t been on the challenge where it belongs. I was WAY at the bottom of the standings for week one and the competitor in me was not pleased. But then life hit. Week two’s standings aren’t out yet, but I’m hopeful I didn’t drop any further.

Today starts a new week. I don’t have a lot of excuses not to stick to my eating plan so I think I might as well just do it. I’m still not exercising like I know I should, but I can’t quite get my mind in the right place for that. Maybe this week will be better. I hope.

On the plus side, I’m definitely in summer mode when it comes to eating. I’m craving fruits and veggies and the thought of comfort food makes me feel icky. That always helps when it comes to weight loss. In fact, I think I’m going to drag Sal and the boys to the swap meet this weekend to stock up on produce. I’ll be on the look out for things I can make in advance so I’m better prepared for next week.

What are you favorite summer foods? Have any favorite recipes you want to share?

#iwillrockthis: In the beginning . . .

One of my goals for 2012 was to lose 20 pounds. I made really good progress on that for the first six{ish} weeks of the year, but I have stalled since then. I’m still down 5 pounds from where I started but that’s probably a small miracle given the bad eating/no exercise habits I’ve fallen… Continue Reading

In my diaper bag . . .

Our diaper bag has evolved a lot since Joey was born. We used to carry one or two of everything you might possibly need at any given time. Now that Joey is out of diapers and Luke is not really a baby anymore, we tend to travel a lot lighter. When we had Joey, we… Continue Reading

Giveaway: 250 Die Cut Business Cards from UPrinting

With everything that’s been going on, I haven’t really had time to get excited about BlogHer ’12. This past week, though, I’ve noticed that the chatter has picked up on Twitter so I’m getting there. I’m slowly trying to put everything together for the big event – 15 weeks is so much closer than it… Continue Reading
