Shakes/ meal replacements?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone does shakes like slimfast. I don’t want to do the slimfast diet but somedays I don’t have the time to stop and eat so I fugure a shake would be better than nothing anyone have suggestions. During the day I’m really busy I babysit a 3 month old and I have a 10 month old so yesterday while I babysat all I had all day was 1/2 ham sandwich I was starving by the time supper was ready. The three month old has colics and always needs to be in my arms or he screams his head off. Oh and none of them sleep during the day unless I put them in the stroller for a walk. So basically I need something I can grab and eat that will keep me satisfied during the day. Lke I said I don’t want to just drink the shakes when I have time to make something I will but when I don’t I need something.Thanks

Monday and Tuesday

Well yesterday was a gorgeous day. I started off taking a walk with the baby, cleaning the house and then after my hubby came home I went to the gym to destress. I have been kind of slacking and yesterday I kinda got to a point where I was so stressed I had to get out and go to the gym. I have been working out at home but I really need to get away from the house, the baby and the hubby I need the me time really badly. This weekend was really busy and kinda stressful so maybe that’s what put me over the top. Or the fact that I had spent 2 hours preparing my husbands favorite meal and he came home and said he didn’t feel like eating that yesterday. Well enough complaining tonight I’m going to watch the Biggest Loser and hopefully not be bothered to much during my show. I feel like I am being pulled in  a million directions some days between the attention my baby wants and the attetion my hubby wants and maintaining the house I tend to get lost in the everyday and not enjoy my me time. Well hope everyone is having a great day.

Ahh Friday’s

Well today has been a busy day. I found out that I will be watching another child this summer so I will be bringing in some extra cash yeah. I have been kind of slacking when it come to working out this week but tonight I will be going for a long walk with the hubby and baby. My hubby wants Mcdo for dinner so I will be having a cheat day today but we all need to cheat once in  a while. I went for a walk this morning it was great not too cold not too hot. Tomorrow my hubby is going to move his brother so I will be home alone with the baby kind off annoys me but whatever. I have a baptismal to go to on Sunday so not much family time this weekend. I will probably clean the house Saturday and sleep when the baby sleeps. I guess I’ll have to see. I’m making some weight watchers pumpkin barres tonight I love those things. Well I guess I’ll get a nap in while the baby is sleeping have a great weekend.

Weight in day..Whoo hoo

So today was weight day. Whoo hoo I lost a pound. I like when the scale does what I tell it to do. Today is a crazy busy day I have a DR appointment and I have to go shopping etc. The baby is fgrowing like a bad weed and I have to get him some bigger cloths. The dilema is do I buy him lots of pants or do I get summer cloth he’s 10 months old and summer will be here in a couple months.So that’s it for now I’m sure I’ll be back later.

Supper was great Schezwan chicken from WW

So tonight I decided to get out the weight watchers cookbook and cook the schezwan chicken it was kind of long to prepare but so worth the wait. Supper was amazing I served it with some rice and there’s even enough left for the hubby lunch. I’ll try to post the recipe tomorrow if I have time if not eventually I will post it. I made the recipe without the peanuts cause my hubby doesn’t like nuts or peanuts. Hope everyone enjoyed their supper I know I’m stuffed. Take care.

Rainy Tuesday

Well like the tittle says it’s a rainy tuesday but so far I have gotten alot accomplished. I washed the dish’s, did the laundry, made baby purees. So now that all the boring stuff is out of the way I get to pick a workout dvd. I’ll probably end up doing the mommy and me Dvd cause the baby decided not to nap but that’s ok. So off to sweat talk to you later.

Does anyone have a personal trainer

Hi I was wondering what is a reasonable price for a personal trainer. I found a trainer that come to your house and for one session a week for six weeks it costs 450 plus tax is that good. I went for a walk this morning with the baby it’s gorgeous out I love it. I tried jogging but one of the wheels of my stroller is always going up so we just walked really fast. I’m going to the gym tonight so I will run on the treadmill.

Stop resticting your food

I went to a nutrition class with a certified dietition and she told the whole group to not cut any food out of our diets. She explained to us that if we cut out chocolate or chips or any junk food that we will most likely give up on our health plan and binge eat twice as much. Having said that she said to get all of our nutrition needs in before our treats. You can’t have loads of your favorite junk food a day but gradually cutting back to a reasonable portion will help you succeed. I had a huge craving for ice cream last night but didn’t feel like driving out to get it so I had some toast instead. Talk to you later

Baby shower

So I had a baby shower to go to today and I was a little nervous cause they usually have really unhealthy food at these events in my family. I’m glad to say this wasn’t the case today I ate carrots and cheese watermelon and strawberries. I also had a very tiny piece of cake but it was only one bite. I didn’t exercise today but I weight in and lost .4 of a pound. I will count any loss as a loss. I hope everyone had a great day and weekend. I have a huge craving for ice cream today but I think I will try and hold off going to get some I’m pretty tired and too lazy to drive to go get it which is a good thing LOL. Well I’m babbling gonna go read some blogs and go to bed. You know your getting older when you go to bed at 8 LOL.

So tired…

I’ve been so tired lately. I’m starting to take some Iron tomorrow so hopefully that will help.  I went for a walk this morning with the baby and the hubby it was great. Not too hot or cold today. I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow  so that should be interesting. Besides that not much to talk about. Have a great weekend everyone.
