Soooo, as if Marti and I haven't come up with enough crafty shenanigans (some of which coming up are SO FREAKING COOL, may I just add), we've decided to add another one to our proverbial plates - this one, not so crafty-related, hence the new BLOG!

So every month we've decided to set three 'small' goals for ourselves each in the categories of diet and exercise. We will focus on those goals for the entire month so as to not overwhelm ourselves or ask too much of ourselves (for now) so the temptation to quit is more unlikely (we're hoping!). If you wanna participate, feel free and let us know how it's working out for you! Or if you've got any tips, tricks, encouragement or suggestions, we ALWAYS want to hear them, so be sure to let us know!

Here we gooooo...

it's the missing half of the team!!!

the whiny half of the team too! GRRRR!!!! how many times do i start over before i give up??????? *sigh*

i am happy to report i have done some exercise today and i also think i am going to friggin DIE! the honeysuckle is in full bloom so i convinced pezzy to get in the stroller and let me push her super fast on the path around the back of our neighborhood to go see it. the additional advantage of doing heavy walking (yea folks i didn't even RUN) in 200% humidity is that i am now so thirsty i will have no problem drinking a bunch of water! i actually exercised 2 days in a row if i can count pushing two children trhough the zoo up hill in a double stroller combined with carrying/dragging a screaching 2 year old part of the time.........

i AM doing better with drinking water and eating less but not eating as well as i should be. however i just finished several weeks of WAY too much work for one person so maybe i can pull myself together a bit now............i am proud to report i BROUGHT our lunches to the zoo so i had a DEElish chicken salad wrap and fiber one yogurt as my lunch.........then caved later and ate part of pezzy's cup of ice cream.

hubby had a novel idea for me now that work has slowed down a bit and suggested i try getting a decent amount of sleep every night since i HAVE seen studies say that lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain. i get about 5 hours at best each night right now......i may have permanently lost some brain cells at this point since i have been doing that since the website opened 1 1/2 years ago! so last night i got EIGHT hours of sleep - EIGHT HOURS. i DO feel good today!

of course this doesn't mean i don't have ANYthing going on in the store - 11 new stamps will release in a couple weeks along with tripling the line of glittered skittles BUT all pre-orders are shipped from winter CHA and studio Gs will have a break until the holidays hit.

i can't find my scale so i don't know what i have lost or not lost so far but up until now i have pretty much stayed the same - nothing lost but i still have not re-gained what i lost just after christmas.

and now i am off to contemplate making the muffin recipe i found on weight watchers.com

hugs!!!

better blog siggy

I don't know how you would make it sleeping that little! When I get 5-6 hrs a night, I'm cranky by the end of the week & I have to catch up. I hope you find some time to get more nights like that :)
