Another Sunday…And The Weekend Went Fast!!!

Posted by: Natasha in What's Up With Natasha Today?

Hi All,

What a fast weekend!! Friday came, Saturday went, and now it is Sunday and I am not ready for Monday when DH goes back to work and it is just me and Arman. Any stay at home moms out there that can relate? I swear after my child turned 3 (the terrifying threes I now call it) it has been a battle of questioning my authority. Some days are great and the others I just want to put him in preschool and go back to work with grown ups. We are involved with playgroups and other activities, but when we are home OMG some days I could SCREAM. People say 2’s are bad, but not my boy. When he was 2 he was an angel….. Just venting. Overall, I love my child and I thank God everyday that I can stay home with him and watch him grow up into Mr. Independent.

This week was great through I can’t complain. On Saturday, DH, Arman and I went to Home Depot and purchased Landscaping Supplies for our front yard. You name it we brought it.. From flowers, shrubs, sod, soil, mulch, and etc. I swear DH and I was in and out of Home Depot 5 times on Saturday. Isn’t that crazy???? We were the so much that day I became very good friend with two sales clerks. They told me that if they see me again that day I will be banned fromt he garden section of the store joking of course. They were so nice they even gave me a 10% discount of my purchase. I guess being nice goes a long way huh?

Then we got home from home depot and worked in the yard for almost 4 hours. I guess that counts as exercise? Because today I am soooooo sore from that and doing 25 minutes of step aerobics too!! lol.

What do you think? Did we do okay? Believe me we are mot landscaping professionals, but I think we did a GREAT job and Arman loves “his” flower garden. He can’t wait until the next time to water the flowers again.

Well, on another note. Health and fitness. Well you all know that I have been trying to get back to my goal weight since after the holidays and guess what? I am getting so close. After the new year my scale peaked at 175 and now I am done to 168!!! How cool is that? I have been doing the following for exercise routine and it seems to work out for me:

3 days a weeks I do Cardio Step DVD’s
1 day Tae Bo
1 day Cardio dance
2 days weight/ muscle toning

It seems doing this mix of workouts help me lose weight and tone my body very well. At least I think it is. I really want to wear a bikini this summer. Last summer I waited to the last minute to buy one and never got a chance to wear it. Go figure.

As far as the healthy eating my meal plan consist of the following today:

breakfast:

2 poached eggs
2 slices of canadian bacon by Oscare Myer (only 40 cals)
1 serving size of fruit

Lunch:

Tuna Salad in a bed of mix salad greens
protein or dairy serving (today yogurt by dannon)

Dinner:

1/2grecian chicken wrap (200 cals)
Salad
1 serving a carrots

Dessert:

2 chocolate chip cookies (300 cals)

I had to treat myself today. Since I worked so hard this past week. So now this week I am going to work just as hard and try to lose 2 more pounds. Wish me luck!! I need it.

So How did you do today? Any of you out there have any yummy lunch recipes? I sure would love to hear about them. Sometime I get bored of my stuff and would take any yummy suggestions.

Well, I am off to do some research. I will let you know more about it later. Until then have a great week.

Natasha
