I know I haven't posted in a while... sorry about that.
Things have been hectic around here with everyone getting sick and then sick again. I have to be honest, I have done some sort of exercise everyday, but I have not made it to the gym as much these past few weeks as I'd like to have. One they won't let the kids in sick, bummer, wonder why?? Then I twisted my back, that really hurt. But I have been watching what I eat and portion sizes. Getting better on making sure I get protein and carb in at my meal times, because I can really tell energy wise when I don't!!
One thing I really have to work on is being a morning person. It's almost like a wrestling match with myself. I just am NOT a morning person, but I do strive to become one. It's amazing the things you get done when you get up at a decent hour. But it's SO easy to sleep in since Bradley doesn't have to be at the bust stop until 12:30!! Come September that will all change, I'll be forced to become a morning person when Bradley starts 1st Grade. UGH!!! But it will be good for me (keep telling myself that, lol), because then after I drop him at school, it will be off to the gym for Sam and I. I'll be up and out already, so no excuses!!!
I know you may be saying, you could go to the gym in the PM... But seriously, LifeTime Fitness turns into the biggest "very bad" singles scene ever. The cheese balls come out and it's just not worth dealing with it. I'd get more out of cleaning my bathroom for 2 hours!!!
Well friends, it's off to bed for me. Yes I am getting up in the AM and taking both kids to the gym :) Then Bradley to the bus and Sam and I are off to Royal Oak.

Been Sick...
Well the darn stomach flue hit our house, first Samantha, then Bradley, then Me, then Art and and then Bradley AGAIN!! Not fun when your son sleeps on the top bunk and gets sick, sorry for the visual, lol :)
But to bring you up to date, I've lost 6.6 pounds thus far. I don't see a difference or feel one YET... But while the kids where sick I walked on the treadmill in my basement, did lunges and squats and did free weights. Then of course when I was down the for the count, I wasn't up to doing all of that, so that was a good week off of exercise.
I found the nutrition program Kelley put me on works really really well if I always remember a carb and a protein at each meal. And now I can tell when I've forgotten one or the other, I get tired and grumpy (just ask Art!!). I still am drinking one can of coke a day, but there have been days where I've had none. I only have one if I really need it and find that I"m getting really short tempered with the kids, seriously it's my drug of choice.
We've been going out a lot lately. So I've been going on-line and looking at the menus before going. Even though I can have a cheat meal, I try to pick healthier. I will say I did better at Roma Cafe dinner out than Luciano's!! But all in all I am learning and that's the whole point. You can't ALWAYS be perfect and pick the right thing, and if you try, I think your just setting yourself up for failure.
Now on to Super Bowl Sunday. I was bad. Not so much with food, but with alcohol. Kel gave me two drinks a week, and let's just say I totally over indulged and was down for the count the whole next day!!! Not smart at all. Won't be doing that again any time soon!!! I want my stomach to get smaller not like a guys beer belly, mine of course would be a wine belly, which is no better just more expensive, lol.
So all in all I am doing pretty good. Feeling more awake in the mornings, other than the the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday!!! I'm happy with what I've lost thus far and am looking forward to more and to actually feel and see the difference. This is doable.
