One month of working out.

So I have officially been working out for one month. I did it! I really thought I would give up by now but I have not. So yay go me!
This last weekend was crazy with Dexter's birthday party. I only made it to the gym 3 times. I did 1 hour of elliptical and 30 minutes strength training. Did not change my diet any.
So far my weight loss has been 0lbs. :O( I am so ready to give up.
This week I am giving up all sodas and fruit juices only water till I lose something. ANYTHING!! Hopefully it will be this week.

Hoover Max extract 77

For a long time we have needed a carpet cleaner. I would say we have needed on since Dexter started walking. hmm coincidence? I think not. Well I shopped around for one for about two months. Mostly I was waiting on Phillip to say we had enough money to get one. Well finally he said we could get one and I had already decided on the Max extract 77. I decided to buy is directly from the manufacturer and buy a refurbished one so we could save some money and get a good product still. I have bought a lot of things refurbished so I really was not worried. I knew what I was getting into. Usually the products work great but are not packaged as fancy. They are usually also cleaned well so they look new.

The original Swaddle me wrap from Summer review

Let me start off by saying Max loves to be wrapped up. It is the sure fire way to get him to calm down. When ever he is fussing we just swaddle him and immediately he calms down. Don’t get me wrong, he still needs to be held and he does still fuss. But it always helps to swaddle him and he falls asleep much faster all bundled up.

Pennant banner tutorial!

For Dexter’s second birthday I really wanted to make him a pennant banner. I looked on pintrest and on Google but could only find one! It wasn’t exactly what I wanted and used way more fabric than I needed. But here is that tutorial. So I just looked at some pictures of them and decided that I could do it all on my own! I am venturing out like crazy now, sewing triangles onto bias tape without any instructions. Haha
Well just incase anyone else needs some help getting started here is what I did.

Work out week 4

I have been working out for about 4-5 days every week for three weeks now! I have a lot more energy and less stress BUT I still have not lost any weight!! I am so fed up. I have made healthy changes to my diet I have only been snacking on vegetables and fruits. I have not been eating fast food. I have been eating gross whole wheat pasta when we have pasta and still nothing! I made cup cakes and even sent them with Phill to work because I didn't want to eat them all. UGH.
A lot of what I have been reading online says stress will make it harder to lose weight so I guess I should just give my kids away for a few weeks so I can lose weight! haha. Not really I love them.
So this week I stayed at the gym for 1.5 hours 4 days, went on a walk outside. Did mostly the elliptical burned 600 calories. Then did more arm exercises. I have fat arms and am tired of looking at them that why I do that so much and not legs.
This weekend we are going out of town so I will just do my best not to over eat. No cut backs this week.
