~ Weigh In Day/ Week In Review ~

I am up 1.5 lbs this week.  I barely know where my mind is lately.  My boys are requiring A LOT of hands on time (which I love) and my hubby has been sick.  I have really started falling back into that take care of it all and neglect myself kinda deal again.  The numbers don't lie.  

They don't lie, but they do scare me.  I know what I need to do.  I know how I should be doing things.  I know I know I know I know.  However, my will power seems to have vanished.  Where did it go?  How do I get it back?  Why did I let it escape (again)?  

I cannot fail.

Cupcake Craving Cured

I spent today working on my first cupcake bouquet order.  It all began at 8am and I finally finished at 8pm.  Me oh my oh!  Now, add in taking care of twins, I probably could have halfed the time...maybe.

ANYWAY, I did have fun putting it together.  And at this very moment, I have no desire to EVER have a sweet treat again!  After decorating almost 70 mini cupcakes with Italian Buttercream, I can promise that tomorrow will bring no sugar for this girl.  My teeth hurt thinking about it!  HAHA

I had recently been craving a Cupcake Charlie's Carrot Cake Cupcake.  See, "had."  Decorating that many cupcakes and smelling sugar ALL day totally was the cure.

Here are some pictures of the bouquet...

~ Weigh In Day/ Week In Review ~

Not too much to report this week, unfortunately.  I did not lose or gain this week.  It was that time of the month and well, most of of you know how that goes.  

I also found myself entirely too tired to work out like I needed to.  I napped when the boys did.  I am not even going to apologize or make excuses!  That sweet boy of mine, E, is getting me up every couple of hours.  I barely have enough energy to take a shower or eat a real meal.  I am working on a plan for him though.  Trying to get him to sleep a little longer.  With the napping when they do, I am feeling better, but I do not know where to put the exercise in! This week I am going to make sure I get some minutes in.  My training is very important to me and I just have to get it done! 

Pilates this week, a bike ride, and logging my minutes/miles are my goals.
