humph.. the weather, etc

well the last two days have been busy with our ever changing errands/schedules/weather.. so i haven't been able to go on my walk.. today i decided i was going to Zumba instead.

my two older girls, Jazmine and Alivia did it with me ;) lol. it was too funny trying to watch them while i was trying to not STEP on them, while i'm trying to concentrate AHAHA. but it was fun. :)

gotta keep trying to be more active! :)

oh.. and i have ICE WATER right now, instead of ice tea, or coffee (both of which would go right through me). need to make sure i always have a glass of water handy.. cause i get thirsty a lot..

BUSY MAMA :D


ALSO!
on the business side of things.. i'm doing my elastic different in my diapers now! i'm encasing it, instead of stitching it down! so much easier.. and i LOVE it. :D

it feels nice to kind of "streamline" my store..

i am loving having my business finally REALLY coming together
i love my labeling system

i am loving the new elastic casing
i've gotten rid of a couple things over the past few months, and really am creating a "store"

i like it a lot

day 2 :)

walked 2 miles in roughly 40 minutes (38 i think), came home stretched, did the splits :) now i have a fried chicken sandwich, baked lays and ice tea :) mmm... i feel good

now i'm going go get my snap and cut on ;) see what i can prep to sew tomorrow. i have a LOT of sewing to do. after these customs are finished, i still have lots to stock AND lots to get ready for the craft show.

taking a different angle..

well.. i lost a pant size in a mth with zumba.. and now i'm not doing it very often..

and today just looked SO perfect outside for a walk.. so as soon as my husband was home from the studio (videographer), i put on some "exercise clothes" and went out for a walk . :) i jogged some of it, but mostly just speed walked.. it felt SO good. i haven't done that in like 6 years. literally. since we moved out of our first apartment.. which was just before i got preg with jaz.. so 6 years ago.

it took me roughly 20 minutes to walk/jog just over a mile.
is that good? lol

my weight right now 158
30" waist
37.5"" hips
21"thighs

i'm loving being outside by myself :) it reminded me of when i ran track.. ahh.. fresh air.. :)
i will definitely be doing that again!

yyyeeaaahhhh...

wow.. it's been a while since i've done this. lol. i DID (in my defense) do zumba 2 days ago..
HAHAHA
after HOW long?!
exactly.

and i'm starting to feel like i'm a muffin top.. ugh.
i hate feeling that jiggle when i walk. need to get back up to speed on this!

ALSO i have my 10 year high school reunion coming up in october! wanna make sure i look "svelt" ;) hehehe.

gonna take my old bridesmaid dresses, and revamp them into evening gowns :) special occasion dresses :)

weight 156.5 lbs
waist 30 inches
hips 37 inches
thighs 20.5 inches

somehow i lost 1 lb and another half inch off my thighs..
lol
well COOL
i thought i had back slidden!!
*nods
*shrugs
well that makes me feel a tad better HAHA

well..

now i know why people still work out after already being in shape.

it's been prob 1.5 weeks since i last zumba'd and i can feel like some of the jiggle is coming back.
so yeah..

my weight has been fluctuating the usual 5 lbs.. sucks cause sometimes i'll weigh 153 and be like YAY! then i'll weight like 157.5 and i'll be like DANG IT!

but yeah.. measurements?
waist- 30" (same)
hips- 37" (same)
thighs- 21" (another half inch off) :D

so even though i haven't really done anything.. because i've already got a good start, and i'm keeping busy.. my legs are definitely getting a work out. :) (prob doesn't help that i recently binged on chocolate) HAHAHA

HEY i'm allowed (looks around) right?
progress pics

still workin on that midsection.. but i'm bound to poofy at some time every month ;) lol
hmm.. maybe if i tense my abs and take another pic? would it look better? :D

yup.. i am a big dork :D oh well.. see you again! hopefully sooner than this last gap in blog postings! *oops

hi *blush

it's been 3 days since i zumba'd last. lol. i always feel fat when i dont do it for more than 2 days.
but how can i feel fat when i'm getting rid of 2 pair of jeans that are too big? :D hehehehe.

then again it's been like 2 weeks since i wrote last *hides

my measurements now are
30" waist
37" hips
21.25" thighs :D
so another 1.25 inches gone in my thighs!! DANG! no wonder my pants are feeling a tad baggy around my legs.

WOW results :D YAY!

well.. i had to post this today.. i'm having a fat day.. lol.

but wait!! look at my new measurements!!
waist- 30"
hips 37" (1 inch less!)
thighs 22.5" (1/2 inch less!)

YAY! not THAT's a fat day booster. :)

ALSO! since my pants have been getting kinda loose.. i was at goodwill a couple days ago looking for some business stuff.. and OMGOSH they must have just put out new stuff. in my SIZE! :D

i got like 5 tops size M (not L!) and 4 pairs of pants size 8 (not 10-12!)
i'm SO EXCITED! :D
