Be Healthy Journey {Week 3}

Week 3

Weight Loss Amount

3.5

I lost 2.5 lbs this week which has taken me to a total of 3.5 lbs lost in two weeks. I was super stoked at my weight-in this morning!!!

My work offers great amenities when it comes to working out. I have a full gym at my fingertips whenever I want to use it at no cost! I know that is amazing and I do not take that for granted but I just have a such a hard time fitting a workout time into my daily routine. I hate the thought of taking more time away from my babies to workout before or after work. If I do work out it is on my lunch hour, with our bazillion lunch meetings we seem to have now a days that has become difficult also.

According to livestrong.com walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes (which is what I would do at the gym at work) I would burn around 100 calories. I work on the 4th floor and wondered how many calories I would burn if I ceased my elevator days and committed to stairs only. According to the same source walking up stairs for 1 minute burns 7-10 calories. So...going up the 4 flights of stairs it takes to get to my office takes about 3 minutes...if I do that 4 times a day I am burning between 84-120 calories.

So that is my commitment right now....no elevator and 4 flights of stairs 4x's a day!!! I still have every intention of adding some additional aerobic exercise in the am at home but for now this is what I am committed to.

So ladies...lets hear it.....how are you doing???? What are you doing???? What are your commitments???? What have you achieved??? Any stumbles??? Anything you want me to post about??? Can't wait to hear from all of you!!! Thanks for joining me!

Super tired after all of the excitement!!!

This is Johnie and our sitter Nicki. Nicki is WONDERFUL with my kids, they love her and are very comfortable and happy with her. Nicki I thank you for showing my kids so much love and for allowing me to go to work and be confident that my babies are in good hands. You do a wonderful job and are defiantly where God wants you to be right now. I know that your days have to be hard, I could not do what you do everyday and I THANK you so very much for all that you do for our family.

Weekend Love

We had a big weekend full of fun. Here are some pics of what we enjoyed this weekend....

On Friday night John and I took the kids to the Holt County Fair. Jag defiantly enjoyed himself this year. Miss Johnie girl spent all of her time in the stroller :( maybe next year sis.

We really thought that he would be to the top and be scared....nope cool as a cucumber. I think he was just trying to impress the little girl beside him.

Daddy had the job of showing Jag how to go down the big slide on a potato sack. I told you this was a county fair!!!

At the top on their way down....

Midway...

They made it! They had so much fun they went down a second time.

This is Johnie girl exhausted after the big night...in her favorite spot, her daddy's chest.

What did you enjoy this weekend???
