Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I haven't written a weigh-in post in months! Probably because it's been insanely busy with the holidays and birthdays coming and going. Or maybe I'm using that as an excuse for the fact that getting in shape has been definitely put on the back burner and trying to stick to a diet is virtually impossible during the holidays. My goal was to hit my pre-pregnancy weight by my baby's first birthday. Well it's kinda sucky that my baby turned … [Read more...]
Have you seen that episode of Friends where Phoebe goes running with Rachel and she runs like Kermit the Frog? She says she runs like that because it's like when she was a kid and it makes it fun. That episode makes so much sense to me. I've never really enjoyed running. No wait, let me correct that--I've never enjoyed running for long periods of time. I'm not one to go running for miles and miles for an hour straight. First off … [Read more...]
Oof--I had a bad week when it comes down to eating. Here's the thing...the second I find out I'm pregnant, all my resolves to diet and exercise go VAMOOSH! I do not know what it is, maybe it's just a basic survival instinct. Basically I lose all self control and eat whatever the heck I want. To be fair, I try to exercise but I'm usually just too tired to do it. So once I have the baby, it takes a long time for me to re-train my brain … [Read more...]
Hello everyone! And welcome to Weigh-In Wednesday! As part of my yearly resolutions to be healthy, I am going to give a full report every Wednesday. I figure what better way to keep working towards my goal than to report to a public audience? This is very scary for me, I'll admit that right away. I am usually pretty secretive about my weight (who isn't?) but I'm baring it all. So here it is: My name is Heidi. I had a baby almost … [Read more...]
You may have noticed that the number on my little weight loss ticker has slowly been getting lower. Yay! I personally am not completely satisfied with the way I've been working out, simply because my life is in disarray and exercise just has to be squeezed in when I have the time and energy...wait, isn't that the case for everyone? Oh, to be a celebrity who's sole purpose in life is to look amazing. The key is that I am losing … [Read more...]
I was pretty sad last night. Sad, frustrated, and disgusted with myself. Why? Well here's a little story about my day...I woke up yesterday morning (to my two-year-old singing "Happy Birthday" at the top of his lungs--and no, it's no one's birthday) and for breakfast I made us some eggs...two eggs cracked and supplemented with Egg Beaters Egg Whites. Cut up an orange. Very healthy and protein-rich breakfast. … [Read more...]
Here's some background on me and weight loss. First off, I was born to a skinny little family with skinny genes (not to be confused with skinny jeans) so I was a skinny, shapeless girl until I was about 23. Then I seemed have hit adult puberty and suddenly got some curves. Then came Baby #1. And the harsh reality of Post-Baby Body. I had like 15 pounds to lose, so I began my quest to lose the weight.First thing I … [Read more...]
You may or may not have been warned that this is NOT just a craft blog. I consider myself a creative and craftsy girl, but believe it or not, not my every waking breath is consumed by crafting. I would say about 20% crafting/working, 50% mother-and-wifeing, 10% myselfing, and 10% exercising/dieting. Wait, that only adds up to 90%? Well hello, I have to reserve the other 10% for generic boring stuff like housework and going … [Read more...]
