165.4

yippee.

I had been kind of discouraged after doing my weekly weigh in yesterday and only losing .2 pounds.  So I thought I would weigh in again today.  And I finally hit 165.  So now my new goal is 160.  I am so excited. 

I have also decided to track periodically during the week just to kind of have a idea.  I am a little worried that this could be to much for me.  (like if it isn't going down) or it could be a good thing (like realizing it isn't going down or has gone up because I haven't been making good choices) but more frequenly then weekly.  I don't know.  I just figured I would try it and see.

scheduling

So I am doing the Spark Coach trial. Today I was told I should schedule some spark time, and take time every day to plan for tomorrow. This kind of reminded me of fly lady. Flylady is a cleaning/organizing your life kind of program. One of the things she advocates, is your daily routine. I haven't had a daily routine in a while. I think it is time to get back on that bandwagon, set up a daily routine, and put some spark time into it. whether it be am or pm time that I take to use my spark time,, or both.

Besides being more put together in my fitness stuff I also need to be more put together in my every day life. My house again has started to fall apart. I have become lazy when it comes to cleaning a little more. I need to get back on track. I can do this, I just need to set up the routines and stick with them. (I had been doing really well after my youngest birthday, when my house got cleaned from top to bottom.. all i had to do was maintain it)

Couch to 5K

I was a couch to 5k graduate about this time last summer i stuck with it for a few mths. I like it. Then I stopped. I can't remember why, it got colder, I got bored, either way I stopped. Today I read this"Hey Fat Girl" . It made me want to do it again. And why not I know I can.

I may just start tomorrow am. I get up at 6 am, and kids don't come till 6:30 or so. I am seriously going to have to give thought to this. That post may have just motivated me to start running again.

whether you are running or just starting any kind of exercise program, this is a great motivational blog!

First Soccer Games

Bryson and Ethan had their first soccer game last night.  Nolans first game is tonight.  This is Nolan's first game ever.  I am going to try to remember to bring my camera tonight.  I forgot it last night.  

Bry and E did pretty good at their game.   They could improve on a few things, but who can't. 

They had fun and that is the most important thing.

Homemade Bread

Homemade Bread is not a good idea, I think, when you are on a diet.  I mean bread sounds so innocent, mostly, right.  But homemade bread is just whole different thing.  It is just soo good.  So far tonight I have had 3 slices.  Just plain bread, no butter or anything.  And that doesn't count the little pieces I had when one didn't come out of the pan right.  It is just yummy.   Nice and soft, with just a touch of sweetness. 

I had forgotten how much I love it.   Which may be a problem.  I will have to regulate how much of it I eat tomorrow.  

If you like to make bread, this Amish white bread, has to be my favorite recipe. 

Red Enchilada sauce

I made it from scratch.  I stumbled across a pin of how to do it.  It linked to a post on Budget Bites.   It looked so easy. So when I was shopping on Saturday I decided to just do it instead of pay for the cans.  I had to pick up some Cheyenne red pepper, other then that I had the other ingredients already. 

It was really, really easy.  I would show you a picture, but my camera is dead (and I am to lazy to put new batteries in it, take a pix and upload it right now. )  Plus Budget Bites has great pictures on her blog.

go ahead try it sometime.

Pictures Recently

I have been posting a lot of pictures lately.  Well I just haven't had a lot to say.  Nothing really interesting is going on here.  there has been a lot of water, as what is left of the hurican doused us in rain the last few days.  Much needed rain after the major drought we have had this summer.   The boys have enjoyed playing in the rain, when I would let them.  Our road flooded a little so they also enjoyed playing in that.  (it went down really quickly ).   My sub pump is working and that is always good news.    The last I had heard their was about 5 inches of rain in a town nearby.

My diet is going pretty good right now.  i weighed 166.4 on Friday (I need to update my tracker) .  I am getting closer to my goal of 165.  I assume if everything goes as planned this week, I will meet that goal, and will have to adjust it.  I have been very good at not drinking soda, I tried some SKI the other day and really didn't like it.  I have been drinking tons of water since I don't have soda to drink.  I still am not exercising, but I just joined a spark challenge, so hopefully if I get into that I will be on track with that goal too.

Well I have to go, we are going to my mother in laws for breakfast.
