Workouts From Last Week

Last week was so much fun! We have been enjoying sunny days here in Texas. We visited the park and the Zoo. So glad my husband could be a part of our zoo day!

WED- at least 1.5 of fast paced walking at the zoo. Then I ran 2 miles in 28 min.

FRI- walked & played tag at the park for about 25 min.

SAT- ran 2 miles in 24 min. and walked for 30 min.

I've been at the same weight for a few weeks now. Have a feeling I will see a new number tomorrow morning!

My Spring Wreath

My Aqua Spring Wreath

I was inspired by this wreath by Liz Galvan. Hers is very lovely. I painted my wreath with Blue Ocean Breeze by Krylon. I love this shade of aqua! Then grabbed 3 different kinds of flowers from the Walmart craft section. I already had the "K" on hand. It took many tries of shoving those flowers in to make it work. Still not 100 percent satisfied. I tried adding a purple bow at the top and decided that was too over-the-top.

So, I'm starting to like it! The colors make me happy :)

Workouts From Last Week

Last weekend I ran a 5k! Here's a pic of me before the run.

I went with my Mom. She's in the middle. Her and her friends usually sport tutus for their 5k's. This time however, my mom wasn't in the mood. I think I need to put that on my to-do list...run in a tutu! Karin looks pretty cute in it.
After the 5k there was a parade. Best Maid Pickles are made in my hometown. This was their first year to host a parade. It was on St. Paddy's day. My little ones enjoyed it!
What I did last week:

TUES- 20 minutes of walking & carrying my baby boy...my mind is blank. I don't remember where I went that day.

WED- 23 min run & 8 min walk. 80 sit-ups.

FRI- 3 miles in 38 min at the park.

SAT- 5k in 37 min. at least 15 min of walking around with the stroller at the parade.

It was a good week! Still weigh the same as the week before. Gotta keep on chugging along!

Workouts From Last Week & Avocado Pasta

Have you seen this recipe yet by Oh She Glows? I've made it twice now. My sister Jordan found it before me. We both love it. I like to eat it for lunch with toast. I think it has about 345 calories a serving. You should try it sometime!



Last week my husband was out of town for work. That made it very hard to get workouts in. Sometimes my family will watch the kids so I can run & that helps.

WED- 15 min yoga dvd & 2 'song workouts' that I found on Pinterest

FRI- 2 miles in 23 min at the track. It was so cold. I wore 2 layers of pants & shirts!

Wow, I didn't do much! But it was cold & rainy saturday. Then saturday night my baby was up most the night with a fever. Sunday was spent taking care of him since he was still sick. Will try harder this week!

Lost 2 pounds this week & my measurements

Lost another 2 pounds this week! I'm close to 6o pounds down since having Zander 15 months ago. Weekends are so hard for me. I usually want to go out to eat and indulge in too much chocolate. But seeing that number on the scale this morning was very motivating. Tonight I'm going to make pizza from scratch. That should be fun for the little ones since my niece is spending the night. I'm thinking chicken pizza sounds good!

I'm going to share my measurements today. I have been tracking my measurements since January 2011 on sparkpeople. When I say natural waist I mean the smallest part and my low waist means my pregnant belly pooch :)

Measurements~ from 1.24.11 to now 3.10.12
neck- 13.5" 13"
arms- 12.5" 11"
chest- 36" 35"
bust- 40" 37"
nat. waist- 33.5" 30.5"
low waist- 39.5" 35"
hips- 42.5" 37"
butt- 43" 39"
thigh- 26.5" 24"
knees- 15.5" 14"
calf- 15" 14.5"

=27.5 inches lost since having my second baby!

I've surpassed my pre-Zander weight by 9 pounds. It feels good to be sticking to my goals and fitting into my skinny clothes!

Have a good weekend !

Road Trip for my cousin's wedding

Photo of my sweet family outside of the church. It was a beautiful day!

Bath time at the hotel.

Pool time with Aunt Jaley. Yes, Z is sportin' a dipey in the pool. He wasn't in there long and we were the only ones there.

Our favorite tortilla chips~Julio's are made in San Angelo. They make awesome salsa too. We had lunch at their restaurant. I had the taco plate. All the food looked so good it was hard to choose!

My mom made around a thousand tiny desserts. Sweets galore!

My cousin E is now grown up & married! I remember babysitting him. His bride looked so beautiful. Glad we were able to make the trip!

Workouts From Last Week

My workouts from last week. This is my second week of posting. I'm now running 2.25 miles without stopping!

MON- pushed my daughter Violet in the jogger while I ran for 21 min & walked for 9. I went down some new streets that had a lot of hills.

TUES- warmed up with a few minutes of jumping jacks, then the Tone Up Girls Lean Legs Pyramid (this workout hurts afterwards every time, love!) 5 sets of 20 situps & walked pushing the stroller for 20 min.

WED- 27 min run & 20 min walk

THURS- took an easy walk with the kids. 11 min walk & 4 min run

FRI & SAT- out of town for a wedding

SUN- went to run at the school track. It was hot! Surprised I didn't get sunburned. 25 min run & 10 min walk. I ran 9 laps & walked 1. Hoping to run the full 2.5 miles without stopping next time!

Amen!

Too Faced Natural Eye. Fashion Look.

Hi Girls! I mentioned recently that I got a new eyeshadow set. It's Too Faced Natural Eye Collection from Sephora. It comes with 9 versatile colors. I really like the cards with step-by-step looks to try. In these photos I'm wearing the "fashion" look. The goldish shade "honey pot" makes my blue-green eyes stand out!
The shadows all are richly pigmented. Does not take much effort to have a pretty, made up eye! The day time look has no shimmer to it and looks very natural. I've been wearing that one the most but have yet to take pictures. I'll share that look soon!

Baby Zander & I ready to go to my cousin's wedding! I see myself trying another eyeshadow set from Too Faced in the near future.

What eye shadows have you been lovin' lately?
