The one about weight, and Plateau's

I am stuck at the same weight, its been 3 weeks.. I am following a strict 1200 calorie diet, working out, doing the 300 ab challenge, lifting, and lots of strength training.. and NOTHING...

I have even cut out my cheat day, I live for my cheat day, but if I want to see the scale move, then I gotta do it I guess.

I remember hitting this same plateau a few years back on my first weight loss journey, and I remembered having to increase my calories to see a loss, but I was running almost 5 miles a day then (before being a mommy) because I had the time.. now I can only get about 3 maybe 4 runs in a week.

Has anyone tried B12 injections? Please comment if you have, a friend of mine did and she told me it got her right over the hump she was stuck on, but also made her heart race. I would love any info that you may have.

 

It's true.. I gave it up

Well as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end..

I have given up CLOTH DIAPERING

I'm sure you all may be gasping since I was such a big advocate so I have listed my reasons:

When I first started I had a top loading washing machine the kind you could throw all of the diapers in and let them soak over night, I developed a pattern of how I would do it, then hang them to dry and it was working out well. Then we got new W&D stackable front loading.. you know the kind that don't really use any water LOL.  

I still felt like a needed them to soak so I started putting them in the bathtub with water, (this was at our old house, with only one bathroom) that caused a bit of a problem, when I would forget, and somebody needed to bathe. 

More recently Emmaline was constantly getting rashes, so I began the stripping process and that would clear it up for a while, and then it would return. As soon as I put her in disposables it would go away. 

Once my photography business really picked up I found myself having a hard enough time just washing our clothes let alone the cloth, and then there were the few times I left the wet bag in the car with diapers for a few days... 

All in all, while we had a great time doing it, disposables just seem more convenient for us right now, so thats what we have switched too. 

With that being said.. I am selling all of my diapers, mostly all Fuzzy Bunz if anyone is interested please email me at mrsstethoscope@live.com  

Just a few peeks!!!!

Here are just a few of my most favorite shots from the last two weeks of sessions!!!

The insanity of it all

However there will be no Insanity involved !!!!

I thought I would do an update as to my workout, and healthy eating plans.... I have just been asked to be a coach & captain  for a local Biggest loser competition, I will be recording the contestants weight, and revealing them to the group as well as working with different contestant if they need it, on workouts, and meal plans... I am very excited!!!!!

I am back to running a few times a week, our new neighborhood has great running trails, and I am on day 20 of the "300-ab challenge, 30 days to a rock solid core" which I have noticed a HUGE difference in my abs, lines, definition, tone, and muscles have all appeared .... I even have hip lines now!!!!!

I am also doing a "fit test yourself strong challenge" in which each day you increase the reps you were able to do on certain exercises from the day before to get to 50...

Currently-
Squats 50
push ups 16
dips 15
sit ups 35
plank 1.5 mins

I am still counting calories on *myfitnesspal* love that app!!!!

right now I start every morning with a meal replacement protein shake, along with Advocare's Spark, and catalyst.... their products are amazing and I can see them working!!!!

I will update more soon!

I'm really alive...

I know, I know.... That was WAY longer than a 1 month break... but I needed it. I had things to get in order, we were moving, resigning from a full time position at my job, to take a much more backseat part time, My photography business has picked up.. so much so that I have been shooting about 5 sessions a week. LOVE IT.

I finished the 24 day challenge, and have vowed to healthier, leaner, more fit ME.... Not trying to be skinny but fit!!!!

Last weekend I weighed in and hit another rewardable goal, how awesome that felt!!!!!

I am planning to get back on the blog train.. not every day.. but way more then once a quarter!!!!

And remember that tiny little girl, that all of these photos show... well ......
