Getting out for my sanity
I'm doing an experiment this week with my weight. I'm eating right around the 1800 calorie mark and not doing any formal exercise to see if my body will still lose weight this way. On the one han...
Life is looking up over here
After my last entry Miles ended up getting the same fever Cody had for 3 days also which sucked a lot worse because he pretty much wouldn't let me put him down at all and he even had times where ...
Tired Mommy today
OMG am I ever bored this week :( Cody had a fever for 3 days and the kids and I still have colds and it's still pretty cold out so we have been hanging close to home. Miles has been breaking my b...
Here are some recent pictures of my boys that show you what I've been up to over the last month or so. How could you not love these two? They are pretty much my reason for living :) *Sorry the ...
Losing weight and gaining money :)
So Cody has had a fever off and on the last couple of days and even this morning he feels too warm but at least his temperature isn't high anymore. After I took his temperature this morning he po...
Here we go again...
About 6 days ago my husband woke up with a cold. I told him to try to be careful with his germs but Miles and I woke up with the cold 2 days ago and Cody finally got it today. So I spent my day w...
Another perfect week hopefully:)
It's the end of day 4 this week of perfect eating (within my calories) and exercising since Thursday mornings are my weigh in day. I'm excited to see how much I'll lose this week since I'm finall...
Playcentre fun
Day 1 back to counting calories and exercising perfectly went really well. I just did my exercises and I even have some calories left and I'm going to bed soon. So...yay me? Lol I know I know it'...
My grocery shopping fetish
It's crazy how often my thoughts and focus can change. I always quickly read my previous entry on here before I write a new one and even though my last entry was about how I hate how much credit ...
Crushing debt
I always love the start of a fresh new month, especially when I'm trying to lose weight. It feels like new years all over again to me where I can say to myself that I am going to be perfect this ...
This is definitely a stay in your pj's all day kind of day
One thing I find that can be difficult when you have two kids is nap time. Miles has 3 naps a day right now so I try to put them both down for a nap for his 2nd nap of the day because Cody still ...
My Monday so far
Today has been an interesting day and it's only 1:30pm lol. I did my normal routine with the kids in the morning and then decided I was going to take them to a play centre I haven't taken Cody to...
Need motivation
I have been so blah lately because of this shitty weather. I'm sick of being stuck inside with the kids and sick of the same old routine. I have also been sucking at losing more weight. The last ...
Hooray! It's almost March!!
I did our taxes last night and we're getting $1300 back which is $200 more than last year. Somehow with another child I thought we'd get a lot more than last year but that's still a decent amount...
My two little Mommy magnets
Yesterday was family day here and my husband wanted the whole family to go to a hockey game at the arena that he has season tickets for (junior league hockey as in 16-20 year olds). I knew it wou...
Feeling victorious
So it looks like I gained about 2 pounds on my week off of calorie counting. That doesn't bother me though because I had some fast food, enjoyed some chips, way too many homemade peanut butter co...
6 months!
I spoke about feeling overwhelmed in my last entry but I am okay. I think all moms feel like that from time to time. It didn't help that Saturday night my husband and I stayed up playing cards wi...
So exhausted
Maybe I'm just feeling emotional because I am so damn tired but I am just feeling so overwhelmed lately. I spend all day, every day taking care of the kids, keeping the house in order, cooking an...
ODed on junk food. Whoops!
I did something dumb. Friday morning I did our regular grocery shopping and I decided that since my weight loss challenge is over I would take one week off of strict calorie counting and exercisi...
Challenge complete :)
My weight loss challenge ended as of my weigh in this morning! In the 12 week challenge I went from 198.2 pounds to 169.8 this morning which is 28.4lbs. Yay! I won't find out for sure if I won p...
Dying to eat some cookies!
Cody's bug or whatever he had that caused him to have diarrhea only lasted 2 days thank goodness. And now the last 2 days it seems like he has been making up for his lack of appetite those days b...
Debt and poop
It's probably dumb timing since I'm on maternity leave and thus making less money each month but I decided not too long ago that I seriously need to pay off the debt I've accumulated on my credit...
One week to go :)
I had my second last weigh in this morning for my weight loss challenge!! I was determined to have a perfect week last week by eating between 1700-1800 calories and doing my nightly exercises eve...
Trying hard to win the weight loss challenge
The first year with a new baby is by far my favorite. They grow so quickly and learn new skills so often it's unbelievable. As much as I like the newborn stage because they are so tiny, sleep a l...
So glad January is almost over
I've been exercising and eating a certain amount of calories for 3 months now and last week was my first bad week where I only exercised 3 days and ate more calories than I was supposed to 3 days...
Book Description
My name is Sarah. I’ve been married since Sept 2010. I have 2 boys and a girl :) Cody was born July 23, 2011, Miles on August 8, 2013 and Summer on April 13, 2016. I am off on maternity leave until my 3rd is a year old. It’s a busy life but having children has always been my dream. Pretty sure we’re done at 3 kids cuz it is a LOT of work and money to have this many kids but I would love to just keep having kids Duggar style because I love babies and children so much! And as much as they can drive me craaaaaazy there’s nothing I love more than staying home with them. I wish I didn’t have to ever go back to work but my husband doesn’t make enough for me to do that unfortunately. Otherwise I’d gladly be that wife who cleans her house and has snacks and a yummy dinner for my family when they get home at the end of the day.
There are many things I love including all things Harry Potter, theme parks, Florida, knitting, reading a variety of types of books like young adult fiction, biographies of interesting people, regular fiction and some self help books. I also enjoy baking, watching movies and most of all chocolate!!
I’m often losing weight because I’m one of those people who go up and down on the scale a bit despite my best efforts. I’m updating this as of Aug 16/16 and right now I’m trying to lose my baby weight from my current baby who is 4 months old.
