gettin' fit and toned

Well, this is Week # I've Lost Count, that I've been working my hiney off, day and night. My goal is to not have to wear maternity pants with my next pregnancy. I want to be the super cute, super fit, little pregnant girl who you can't tell is pregnant from behind. NO, this isn't an announcement, I am no where near or trying to be pregnant right now, I'm just planning ahead, since toning up takes a while!
A while ago I mentioned I was going to do the Low Carb diet. That worked for about a week and a half, and I did lose a few pounds, but you know what... low carb sucks!
I have my work out friend, Emily, who has done weight watchers twice now, so she gave me all her stuff from the first time around since she had extras. So I've been doing that for a few weeks, and it's AWESOME!! it's like playing a game, what can i find that will keep me in my point range, Emily and I are always telling each other stuff we found that counts as very few or no points. Seriously, if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be sticking with this. But almost every morning, we get up and meet at the church, (hauling our kids in their pajamas), and we work out. i LOVE love LOVE it! I feel awesome, and I can actually run now. I've always hated running, because I was never in the shape to do it, but now i love it. i'd like to get my mile run down to 7 minutes like it was in high school. so here's shooting for that!
Anway, funny story, yesterday was pretty chilly and I wanted some nice hot soup to warm us up, so I went to the store to get ingredients. Shopping with Courtney was a nightmare, if I want her to sit in the cart, she wants down, if I want her to walk, she HAS to be held, if she wants to walk and i let her down, she RUNS everywhere. But for the most part i had to push a cart full of groceries while holding her at the same time. At one point, this random man brought me her other shoe. Who knows where/when it fell off. But we saw the oddest thing on our way back to the car. 3 parking spaces from the front doors of the store was a car, and in the front seat of this car was a guy and a girl "planting a garden" as my family calls it (quite vigorously, might i add). Right in the front seat, almost front row parking!! and not even trying to be discreet about it, the guy actually even waved at me. AWKWARD!!
Anyway, the soup turned out really good, but i'm still trying to get that image out of my head. ugh!

Ewww, ewww, ewww! Thanks for putting the image in my head! Someone should have called the cops. That's disgusting!

What kind of soup did you make? Soup sounds good. Too bad it's too late to start some for tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

mallena- it's wild rice chicken soup.... it's DELICIOUS! i'll have to get you the recipe. it's sooo good! although it has sauteed onions in it, and i know how you hate onions...

mallena said...

Sounds delicious! I definitely want the recipe. You may have to superglue it to me though so I don't misplace it.

Yeah, I could have done without that image also.

I wish I had a work-out buddy again.

I did weight watchers a few years ago before I got pregnant and it was awesome! I would love to get back on it after this baby! You already look fabulous though!

When you said you were doing a 24 carb a day diet I thought "what is that girl going to eat?" Yogurt has more than that. Milk has more than that. It would be impossible. Weight watchers just makes sense because you eat things in moderation. Good luck with the getting in shape to get fat again with a baby in your tummy:)
