Weekly Update

So it's been awhile. But guess what? Things are still going well! I haven't stopped working on Zookenberry, or on myself - just on the blog side of things. I'm doing some serious revamping, and it is taking a lot more research, and a lot less writing at the moment. You'll see some big changes soon.

But onto the update:

Weight: 152.5 149.5
Arm: 10.5"
Bust: 38.5" 38"
Chest: 32" 31.5"
Waist: 33" 32"
Hips: 40"
Thigh: 23" 22.5"
Calf: 14"

So I tried to work my little butt off, literally. My hips have not moved - however; I am officially under 150! And my thighs did budge a little, which was my main focus! Hurrah! Today I am wearing a pre-pregnancy pair of jeans and a shirt from 'the skinny days'. It feels really, really good.

In other news... I purchased a Bike Tow the other day... which is an attachment for your bike so a dog can run along side you safely. Safely as in for both you and the dog. I'm still waiting for it to arrive though - I think it will be great exercise for my 80lb mutt and I to do. But what did I wake up to this morning? 10cm of snow. Sigh, I thought we were done with this?

Anyways, that is going to be my exercise to try and tone up my legs/hips/bum region. I'll try and get a video of our first time out! Should be interesting considering 1) the mutt is afraid of bikes (as he is of everything) and 2) I am wholly uncoordinated (but do enjoy biking)... as is my dog. Helmets and knee pads please!

Talk to you soon!

Weekly Update

Hello everyone! So I missed last weeks update, as I was away brainstorming. I am so excited on where Zookenberry is about to go! I'll have to tell you guys more as soon as I get it finalized. Anyways, here is the low down;

Weight: 154 152.5
Bust: 39" 38.5"
Chest: 32"
Waist: 34.5" 33"
Hips: 40"
Thigh: 23"

Last week there was a 151.5 on the scale on update day, but silly me didn't document it so 152.5 it is. Which is still great! I'm slowly (but surely!) losing the weight, and am only 2.5 pounds away from my next goal of 150! I am going to try really hard this week to get down to it. It's a pound over my average weekly weightloss, but I'm so excited I think I can do it. I tend to do a lot better at weightloss when I am close to a goal, because I get so excited, haha.

My thighs are a pretty big problem area for me, and they haven't budged an inch (literally)... so I am going to focus my exercise on my legs this week, and hopefully I'll see some progress!

Anyways, as for wee one she is singing now! Or at least that's what I'm calling the new noises. It is so much better than the screaming, not crying - screaming. She wasn't upset, but she figured out how to make a screeching sound and would do it for every waking minute.... and now she sings! She makes adorable vowel sounds in a sing song voice all day now. So. Much. Better.

I hope you all are doing well! Talk to you soon!

Weekly Update

Hello Everyone! So, my excuse this week is that it was a long weekend... so the Monday update is on a Tuesday (again)... maybe I should just change my weekly updates to Tuesdays, lol. Anyways, here are my stats this week!

Weight: 155.5 154
Arms: 11"
Bust: 39.5" 39"
Chest: 32"
Waist: 36" 34.5"
Hips: 41" 40"
Thigh: 23"
Calf: 14.5"

I'm so excited! Things are going really well, I'm losing inches around my waist and hips, which is really important for me AND this week marks my waist being under 35 inches - meaning I have a proper WC. Yay for officially being in the lowest risk bracket, for both BMI and WC.

In other news, my wee one is sitting in her high chair at the table now! It will still be a couple months until she starts eating solids, but it's one step! Which makes my "deadline" seem so much closer. I really want to teach her how to eat healthy, live healthy and to avoid the traps I have fallen into, and I know that doesn't start from their first spoonful of rice cereal, but even so. My goal is to be a great influence for her, teach her by example - and that means changing a lot in my life. But, it's one step at a time, right?

How has your guy's week been?

Weekly Update

Hello all! So this is my first weekly update, I'll be putting this up every Monday (yes, I realize it is Tuesday today... the wee one decided not to sleep much yesteryday) as I journey along with you. It'll be more personal than the rest of Zookenberry, my struggles and victories and such. First; the weekly stats:

Weight: 157 155.5
Arms: 11"
Bust: 39.5"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 41"
Thigh: 23"

This week has been very encouraging, but has definitely had its ups and downs emotionally. Raspberry just finished another growth spurt (She's now 3.5 months wearing 9 month clothing!! Whoah.) and so has been super cranky, especially with early teething going on. That said, she has also started laughing this week! It's pure magic. I can't get enough of her, even with the cranky. But the cranky days have left me drained at night, all I feel like doing is sitting infront of the television with my typical bowl of chips. I haven't even had the energy to take Zookes out for his nightly frolicks in the snow. (The fact that it has been less than -20 degrees most nights hasn't helped either).

Overall though I've eaten healthy, enjoyed myself and am back up and running this week! I hope you are all ready to take on the week too! Talk to you soon.
