Just had to share two things real quick:
1. I was able to fit into a pair of size 10 capris today! Waahoooo! =) Granted, they’re baggy capris, but they were tight on me just 2 weeks ago. I still think I’m a size 12, but I’m slowly moving back down to the size 10 range.
2. Luke and Will both napped at the same time today so I took advantage and did some housework. As I was cleaning I was getting hot, so I put on a pair of shorts. When Luke came out from his nap he came over to me, pointed to my legs and with a frown on his face said….”cwows” (clothes.) I guess he thinks I need to keep these pale legs covered up! LOL! Too bad for him! We have no air conditioning here, so I’m gonna be wearing shorts regardless of what these legs look like! =)
Alrighty, Will is yelling, so I must run!

Yoga Mat
I finally got the yoga mat I ordered ages ago in the mail the other day. I used to be able to do all kinds of exercise on the floor without much pain – but boy howdy do I feel it now-a-days. I don’t know if it’s the extra weight I’m carrying or that I’m getting older, but whatever the case, I needed some padding for my poor back and hips. So this is what I ordered. I’ll let you know what I think…Luke likes it already as you can see!
Luke is attempting a sit-up here...this is proof that I've actaully done them - if he knows how!
Also, Amber has started an Accountability Blog (yay Amber!) (http://banishingbabyweight.blogspot.com/) I’ve also linked to it on the left side.
I love all of the blogs – it’s a great way to support, encourage and motivate one another. I also really value the comments and advice everyone who reads this blog leaves. You all rock!
Alrighty – I should check on the boys…=)

New Blog!
Barb has started a blog too! Yay Barb! =) Here’s the link: http://fabfitfocus.blogspot.com/.
It’s been a rough few days in the Scott household, so I don’t have much to update as far as my diet and exercise plan. Right now I’m just trying to survive the roller coaster of continuous sickness in this house. I pray next week brings some health - then I should be able to get back on track.
Keep up the awesome work ladies – you’re doing fabulous!

7th Weigh-in...
Luke was sick with a nasty case of the stomach flu yesterday, so this is late. I did manage to weigh-in yesterday morning, so here are the stats. I haven’t really done anything towards exercise or dieting the last few weeks – but I haven’t gained any weight, so that’s good. =) I’ll write more later, but for now, here is my 7th weigh-in:
Sunday, May 25, 2008:142 lbs
Pounds Lost this week: 0 lbs
Pounds Lost to Date: 5 lbs
Sunday, May 25, 2008:142 lbs
Pounds Lost this week: 0 lbs

Unofficial Weigh-in…
Just a really quick update. The kids and I have been sick…again! This time it was enough to warrant a trip to the local Krankenhaus (German hospital) on two separate occasions. We’re on the mend now thankfully. I praise God that Chris’s mom was here!
Needless to say – there was no exercising or dieting. There was one day between Luke being sick and Will and I being sick that we went to Bad Kreuznach and walked around the whole day…I would say that counted for one day of exercise! =)
I’m not going to plan out a schedule this week. Mom Judy is here for another week (Yay!=) ), so we’ll probably just go with the flow exercise and diet wise.
I don’t really want to count this weigh-in as “official”…I lost a lot of fluids when I was sick, so it’s registering on the scales. When I regain the fluids, my weight will be back up. So I’m not counting this week’s loss in my total weight loss. If it’s still off in a few days, then I might.
I’ll attempt to update my regular blog in the near future…though we will probably be staying busy this week. Maybe next week?
Alrigihty, gotta go!

5th Weigh-in
Just a very quick update:
Here’s the tally on the rest of my exercise from this week:
Thursday: crunches, leg exercises and 2 mile walk
Friday: crunches and arms
Saturday and Sunday: took off for Mother’s Day weekend
I didn’t do good with the dieting aspect, but I was very happy with the exercise routine we’ve established. Like I've said in my previous posts, I’m taking baby steps...very small baby steps! =) hehehe!
Luke got a fever yesterday. =( So it doesn’t look like we’ll make it to the track today. I still need to make myself do my crunches and leg exercises. Maybe I can get in an exercise tape?
MeMe is here!!! It’s SOOOO wonderful! She’s on the weight watchers point program, so we’ll be making a menu for the next week’s meals off that. That should help with the dieting part of the plan this week.
Alright, I gotta run, but here the stats…not very pretty. =( Oh well!
Sunday, May 11th, 2008 - 145 lbs
Pounds Lost this week: 1
Pounds Lost to Date: 2
At this rate, I won’t make it to my goal until right before Chris get’s home!!! LOL!

Mid-week check in...
Just a quick update. The boys and I have been at the track every morning. Yay! Here is a quick recap of our exercise so far this week:
Monday: crunches and 1 ¼ mile walk
Tuesday: crunches, leg exercises and 1 ½ mile walk
Wednesday: crunches, arm exercise and 1 ¾ mile walk
I’m finding that the mornings are the only times I can manage to squeeze anything in. Luke is usually content to watch Blue’s Clues or Sesame Street and Will is content in his Jumperoo – so I can take the few minutes then to do my strength training.
Though we’ve only been going to the track a few days, Luke is already getting restless in the stroller. I let him walk with me on my cool down (though it can take forever to get anywhere when he decides he wants to say “hi” to and pick up every rock and flower along the way!) =) As long as I remember a pacifier (forgot one on Tuesday) Will is usually fairly content. I just hope they won’t kick up too much of a fuss in the future– I really think this routine works…at least for me! =)
Alright, that’s all I have time to write for now. Chris’s mom is flying in tomorrow and I have tons to do before then.
Keep up the good work ladies! We can do it! We CAN do it!
