Hi! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. :) I enjoyed our time with Sarge's parents, and had a nice quiet birthday at home. And, if you hadn't noticed, did take the week off from food journaling and working out. I weighed in the beginning of last week at a whopping 148.6! Of course... heh, food happened. So, this week's weigh in wasn't so low. It's okay, though. I expected it.
This week, I am trying something new! I have posted before about Nerd Fitness. Well, this week starts a 6 week challenge to see if I can get better results trying something new. So, no more elliptical charts. I'm starting with the beginner body weight workout. I did it today, and it's a bit easy... so, I'll be upping my reps, I think. My goal is to be able to do the pushups for real, not on my knees. And, I'd like to up my weight on the dumbbell rows--although that means finding a new weight, ha.
I took measurements and new pictures--which, probably won't get posted, ha. But they will be a good reference to see if this works well.
I'm also making some small diet changes. I would LOVE to go Paleo or some other variation of it, but it's not in the budget. So, I'll just be trying to consume more protein (because looking back, I don't get very much daily), and less junk.
So, anywho, that's the update for now. Take care!

Thirty-One Weeks
Hola!
Before I start, we have family coming in on Sunday for a week. And they are staying with us. Like, in our home staying with us. No escape from each other, ha. So, I'm thinking of taking a week hiatus from the blog/project. Sarge knows what I'm doing, but I don't really feel like explaining to my FIL why I'm writing down every thing I eat. And heaven knows how busy I'll be all week. I have to entertain them solo Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday we're going up to Sarge's school, plus I have to start pre-Thanksgiving cooking, and Thursday, we're hosting a big dinner at our house. My first. Ought to be interesting... Friday, no shopping for me. I hope MIL doesn't want to go. It's an hour or two to any real stores... lol. And Saturday, well Saturday is my MFing birthday. :D
So, with that said, onto this week's numbers.

Okay, so, what the hell, yeah?
A lady friend gave me a link to this website, which is pretty neat. Staci in particular was an interesting read. Makes me want to get some better weights and get at it. However... probably not the wisest investment when you're trying to get pregnant. Unless it takes 6+ months longer, I'll have to stop when I find out. Might be something I look into trying once I have the next kid.
However, for all you single, no new-baby peoples, this is awesome. Lots of support and ideas on this website. It might really be something you look into.
Oh, and check out Saint. Holy cow!
And one more, Veronica. She's a SAHM of two. If she can lose the weight, so can you, my mommy friends!

Hoping to get back into the workout swing next week. Shall see, shall see. Have several play dates scheduled, and Sarge is still on shift work. Which means he's home by noon, and I absolutely refuse to work out in front of him--unless it's the elliptical. Somehow, less self-conscious up there. Don't know why. Anyway, will see!
Until next time!

Twenty-Eight!
I realize that yet again, it's almost the end of the week, and I haven't posted last week's. I'm awful. That's all. Ha. So after a whole week of no exercise...
Monday Weigh-In: 152.4 (+0 lbs!)
I was surprised, too. Haha. Last week was a bit better on the work-out front, though, not my best week. By Wednesday, I felt like I could get back to it and not worry about not being able to breathe.
