April 2011 and April 2012

Wow, I really dislike the picture on the left! It was one of those embarrassing tagged pictures from facebook. I must have been really sleep deprived to go out in public with my hair looking so yucky and my face doesn't do well with extra weight! But I did just walk a 5k pushing Zander in the stroller. I was so happy-in-love with my new baby I didn't care how I looked.

The current photo is from Easter last week posing with my daughter Violet. I am getting close to my goal weight. 12 pounds to go! Then I might try to lose another 5 to keep me in my "safe zone". I've been at the same weight for about a month now. Planning to work harder to see the scale move down before May!

Workouts From Last Week

Does anyone want 5 pounds of Easter chocolates?! That's about how much my children got over the weekend. Think I will hide it in the freezer to get it away from me.

My husband has been working out of state off and on for the past month. It's been so challenging to get my workouts in when he's away. I don't leave my children with babysitters. But I'll happily let my mom or sisters watch the kids whenever they are available so I can run for at least 30 minutes.

I feel like I'm not doing my best right now. It's been a month since I've seen the scale go down. I know it's because I haven't been tracking all my food or burning enough calories. And maybe all that chocolate I mentioned above! Ok, enough about that.

MON-30 min run
FRI- 32 min run and 10 min walk

hmm, think I need to reevaluate my goals.
