healthy eating

my energy has been non-existent lately... you'd think that I would have tons more being I am exercising... not!! Today I tried Workout II of Jillians... and it kicked. my. butt.  It was hard!!  I really wanted to make a healthy supper so I made : chicken vegetable stir fry and then also made low-fat eggless banana oatmeal muffins.  It's about 140 a muffin, which is perfect. Pictures tomorrow... really no time to upload it seems. I got one project off my list today and tomorrow I plan to go to GF with the kids.. I really need to get out (and need tons of supplies and groceries)  so I am hoping/praying it goes well.  I haven't gone anywhere for at least 2 weeks... so we need this. I have about 2-3 weeks (here and there) of my meals filled out and hoping that I can do well at meal planning.

Wednesday I am having a body wrap done at my house-- (removes toxins out of my body) and I am hoping to lose a few inches. She's going to show me some stretches and yoga-type workouts so that I can work on my "troubled" areas.   Basically lots of random info but I promised myself I'd go to bed early so I'd have more energy. Working out is no fun when I feel like lying on the couch.. it was funny because today I went upstairs twice during nap-time to work out, and walked back down because it was either too cold, or I told myself I could take a day off.   I was productive though... I found some cute ideas for kate's ice cream party social theme for her FOURTH birthday (she's getting so old!) and ordered an Easter/birthday dress for her, also got some invitation ideas for Maddy... hers is coming up quick too... til tomorrow, or the next day

new week, new look

well, new look as in, new(er) looking blog.  I changed the template because I could never fully load an extra large picture because it would never fit! I also changed some of the fonts... which I love. The only problem is that i cannot figure out how to center my picture in the title bar and my font... It is selected on center, but it's like I almost have to manually edit the html coding, which I used to be good at, but I am not quite sure how or where I need to put the center code in

anyway...

I just wanted to post because I found this really cool tracking system of calories. it's at livestrong.com  and I have been tracking exactly how many calories I've been eating, how many carbs, and how much water/exercise I am getting.  The fact that I can load how many glasses of water i've been drinking, really helps motivate me to drink more because I've got the friendly reminder.... hey, only half a glass so far today.. drink up! I also loaded my weight-loss goal of 2 pounds a week and it entered how many calories I should be getting a day.   I tell you... it said 1300 and i was really trying to eat 1200 and I haven't lost a single pound this last week, AND i was working out twice a day! I don't know what is going on... unless I am gaining muscle, that is a possibility. So, something has to change! alright, got to make the best of nap-time, more later!
