Tubby Tuesdays!

I've changed my McFatty Mondays to Tubby Tuesdays because it was brought to my attention that another blogger uses that phrase and I didn't want to take credit!

Well... I didn't meet my goals last week. I wanted to go on walks with Ryan, but it rained almost every day and when it wasn't raining, I brought him over to my mom's to go swimming.

Here's my other "excuse:" I now work longer hours Mondays and Tuesdays. So by the time I get home, I have a million other things to get done (dishes, laundry, blog) and working out doesn't make it to the top of the list.

BUT thank goodness for @mamabmy who kept tweeting and telling me to just do 50 crunches--every bit counts!! So at least I did that. Thanks, #workoutbuddy ;)

And... we switched our internet service so we were without it for a night and I realized that I probably spend most of my free time on the computer. Without it, I actually popped in my postnatal exercise DVD and got most of the way through it before Ryan woke up! And I LOVED it (review coming soon--I've had it for months and haven't blogged about it yet because I hadn't done it! Ooops!)

I've never known my measurements because I guess I never cared enough. I still don't, but I had to get fitted for a bridesmaid dress last week and they measured me... 35" - 28" - 36". That middle number is the icky one. They ordered my dress in a size EIGHT. A year ago it would have been a 4. My sister-in-law tried to make me feel better by saying they order big so you can have it altered to fit, down to a size 6, lol. Again, I don't really care about my new weight or wideness, I just want to be FIT. I want to be in shape. So I think maybe I'll base my weekly progress not on weight and maybe not even on inches, but on muscle tone. 6-pack, anyone? I've never had one... a 4-pack at my best, but most often just a 2-pack.

Tubby Tuesdays did help me be more aware though of what I was eating. We ordered lunch at work and instead of getting the big, greasy 4-cheese & avocado grilled sandwich, I got a turkey wrap with no mayo--and it was still good.

Goals this week:
MAKE MORE TIME for working out (time machine, anyone?)
Do my postnatal DVD
Do my tae-bo abs workout DVD
Eat less snacks (cheetos and peanut butter) and more.... carrots?
Sit-ups, whenever I can
