Zumba for Kinect

So I was wondering if anyone has Zumba for Kinect? Do you like it or hate it? I just found out that since we are getting internet, phone and cable from the same couple they are giving us an xbox with Kinects. I’m so excited I’ve wanted the biggest loser game for ever.

I was having a good time..

Today was my going away party. I planned it myself and I thought I did a really great job at it. But you know there`s always one party pooper. I was having a great time passing out snacks, playing with the little ones I was grinning from ear to ear. And then someone looks me right in the eye and say so Rachelle how does it feels to have to plan your own going away party? I am quick on my feet so my response was If you want something done right you do it yourself but I have to tell you about 10 seconds later I high tailed it out of there and cried in the washroom for like 5 minutes. The truth is it does hurt me that no one planned a party for me but I had 2 choices wait for someone to do it for me or do it myself. Since I did it myself I also made it a birthday party for my son and daughter. What I wish I had said was why do you have to be such an asshole. But I knew that that would not make the day fun for all my other guests. After I cried I continued on with my party and I just ignored the person but truly I was hurt and I still am. My children where all sitting there when he asked this question I’m really glad they have no idea what he was talking about since they are so young.

I ate terribly today. I had cake, chips, pop and then for supper we had Harvey’s. I need to get back on target but like I’ve been saying for many posts I am an emotional wreck with this move since I am an organization freak and everything will go back to normal once we are settled.

Haven’t exercised it forever either and that’s not going to change either since my gym memberships is on hold while the papers are going thru with the transfer.

Tomorrow we are packing the rest of the house so I will be moving lots and won’t get on here till late. I plan to get on here every night cause as of the 1st no internet till we move.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Sooo busy

Ok first of all sorry I have not been supporting my buddies very much. I will try and catch up on some blogs as soon as I have the time. Secondly I will be disconnected from my internet as of Feb 1st. So I will be missing in action for a few weeks till the new internet is set up and we are moved to our new house. I hope the internet gets connected fast cause I am sure I will want to skype with the family.

I don’t have much to saw today but I thought I would log on and let you know what’s going on. I’m gonna go read a few blogs now. Take care

It all so real

Ok so I have been battling a lot lately. I have been butting heads with family members thinking I should not move and dealing with their insecurities. Today I had a total melt down. I cried and cried and just when I thought I could cry no more I cried again. It just hit me that everything that is familiar to me will be gone in 2 weeks time. I do want to make this move I want to leave this world without regrets and if I stay here I will regret never taking a chance. One thing that’s good is hubby is being really supportive and reminding me daily that if it doesn’t work out than we will figure out a way to get a job back here again.

Well eating has been crap since I am an emotional eater and I am also helping my sister test caterers for her wedding etc. The kids have also decided to stop taking naps or sleeping and when I get to a certain point of exhaustion I look for food as well.

My workouts have consisted of walking up and down the hall while rocking a baby in my arms and packing.

I gained a pound this week so I am taking my bye week in the challenge but I will get it together. I need to for myself and my family. But mostly so that I need to do it for me. Don’t get me wrong I love my hubby and kids but I always give all I’ve got to them and if I don’t change that soon there won’t be a me to help them.

A good article about WW and why they changed

I can’t sleep

I wish I could sleep right now. I’m so frustrated with my body it’s not funny. I spend all day tired and then when I can finally sleep my body rebels and I am wide awake. I know why I can’t sleep, I can’t turn my brain off once the house is actually quiet enough for me to sleep. I keep thinking of things to pack and not forget and put in luggage and buy once we move ahhhh.

This weekend was fun. My in laws visited and spent some nice quality time with us. They have been fighting with the hubby so it’s nice ti see they are fixing things before we move. I also went dress shopping today for my sisters wedding. I’m going to be wearing this dress .

I need to lose some weight but it is available in plus sizes so I don’t have to panic. It’s really really pretty. My sister wanted us to buy dresses that we could wear again after the wedding. My daughter came with me since she is in the wedding and she was so funny(she’s almost 2) and every dress we showed her she would say oooooooo that’s pretty. This is the one my sister decided on but it will be white

Just so you all know that’s not me or my daughter in the pics lol. I still need to find my camera. Good thing we can copy images from the store sites.

Eating was terrible this weekend. In laws wanted pizza so we got that last night. For lunch we had BK. Today we had chicken fried basil rice for lunch and chicken burgers with poutine for supper. Tomorrow it’s back to eating healthy. I feel like I’m always saying this but it’s true I really do want to eat healthy and be the best person I can be, I know I can do this. I am slowly figuring out my stressers and eliminating them or learning to live with them.

I shoveled the snow this weekend which did give me someĀ  activity and I continued packing but I want a sweat session which I will be getting in the morning(as long as I fall asleep soon lol)

Only 3 weekends left!!!

Oh my gosh I just realized there’s only 3 weekends left before I move. There is sooo much left to do it’s exhausting just thinking about it. I’m excited to be moving but god it’s a lot of work. I need to figure out a day to go pick up boxes from the moving company. I think it would have been easier to make this move before we had kids but it is what it is.

I’m starting to freak out about the flight as well. I have never been on a plane and I am now doing it for the first time with three kids under the age of four. My three year old needs to sit in a seat weather he screams or not and my infants need to sit on me and my hubby. Packing the bags is also proving to be challenging. We won’t have our stuff for about 3 weeks and I need to make sure the kids have enough clothing as well as their favorite toys and blankets etc.

Today I ate horribly. I had BK for lunch and my in laws wanted pizza for supper so today sucked food wise. I think until I move and get some what settled I will have eating issues. Half my stuff is packed the other half is stuff we kept out just to survive the final month. I just want to scream most days. I can’t find anything.

Another issue I’m having is hubby wants to throw a bunch of stuff away. He keeps saying well we will buy more when we move but we can’t just get more when we move. It costs money to buy all this stuff and we are far from rich let me tell you. I know we will need to buy pots and pans and stuff but I don’t want to go overboard with the needless spending.

Workouts have been unpredictable. I am meeting up with someone at the gym on Monday so that will be fun. I need to get to the gym and just think thru all my stuff. Well it’s early but I’m tired. I’m off to take a bath and sleep.

Help with meals

I was wondering if anyone has good options for vegetarian meals that don’t contain nuts or peanuts? I want to start eating vegetarian meals a few times a week but don’t know any good recipes. I think we eat the same thing all the time. We eat lots of chicken and we aren’t fans of red meat. I also can’t eat fish due to an allergy. Any suggestion would be great.

Still working on the picture

Ok so I know I said a few blogs back that I will be posting my picture but our camera broke, then hubby went on a business trip and now I’m sick. The picture is still coming.

Today has rough. Hubby could not stay home and I still have the flu but that means I have the 3 kids. The babies are good but my oldest is use to burning energy at school and I did not have the energy to get everyone dressed and in the car. It’s a good thing too cause the babies got sick around 9 this morning with the same thing I have.

Our meals are whatever we can hold down so not worrying to much about what goes in as long as it stays down. Also the only thing calming my stomach is soda so I’m gonna go with it till I feel better.

I did not work out today and I feel really guilty about that. I know I’m sick and I should rest but I feel so lazy when I don’t have a workout. I might dance with the kids this afternoon. Nothing intense just something to say that I moved a little bit today.

Well my three year old need attention again talk to you all tomorrow.

No choice but to get into shape

Most of you know that I am moving soon, hubby flew out and put a deposit on a house on Friday and I am so excited to see the place it`s not even funny. The one thing hubby did mention to me is everyone there is fit and they don`t have a choice. Every where you walk is either up hill or down hill and it`s a very active community. They have runners clubs and ski resorts and all kinds of activities to keep you moving. I`m really excited about this. They also seem to have a lot of free fitness related classes. I even found a group class where dieticians come in and help you work on meal plans all this at the low low cost of free. I`m going to join a runners club when I get out there. They say they welcome everyone from beginners to pro`s so why not give it a try I have nothing to lose after all and I might have less anxiety if I feel like someone is looking out for me and watching me to make sure I don`t get hurt.

Right now we live in the country it`s about a 30 to 40 minute drive anywhere. When we move I will be 5-15 minutes away from everything. Man are we going to save on gas lol. Anyways I guess I`m just excited about everything but for now I`m off to bed cause I was sick all day. Take care everyone!
