pancakes n crafts

Well Friday I did that county folk workout again (loading/unloading wood) and over did it! I sure did pay for it Saturday when I barely could move and my back hurt so bad! I needed to get as many loads into the basement because this week is suppose to be FREEZIN and I wasn't about to do it when its so  cold.  So for two lazy days on the weekend of pain, It back at it today for dietbet!




Made my lil love the COOLEST pancake ever!
  am I a pretty sweet mom or what?  ya ya i know!


We also did a craft today for valentines,
 this is actually very big and hung it inside the empty frame that I change for every holiday.

its a big poster board, used painters tape to spell love and let her paint it all over with white and red paint.  Rip the tape off and Wala cute decoration!  oh yea and Added glue and some glitter on the inside of the heart too! 



That's all I have for pictures, so everything else is boring if there isn't a picture!

Have a great week!

Dietbet - Dinner - glambandz

You're now in 138th place with a 55% chance of winning, Yay that's what I woke up to after I weighed in for DIETBET !

I now only have 2.3 lbs to lose in 22 days, which I'm confident I can do lol, but I'm worried about Feb 2nd & 3rd. I have a fireman ball on the 2nd and Superbowl party the 3rd, and finale weigh in is the 7th!!


After loading and unloading wood yesterday,

 (my hillbilly who brought her shopping cart out back while I loaded wood! LOL)


 I had a super yummy dinner! Roast beef subs with mushrooms and green peppers! mmmm mmmm mmmm!

Grilled up some mushrooms, onions and green peppers, than added some super thin  roast beef from the deli (two slices cut up)



Put a wedge of the jalapeno pepper spread on the bun and toasted them on the griddle, added a little Italian cheese on top and WALA, its like a filly cheese steak sandwich!



 I don't know where the top bun is, but yea add that on top lol (or not if your short on calories for the day, save yourself 80 cals)





Found this pic online of my lil love and I at the race Saturday,

 awww! Oh yea do you love my headband? I DO. and it stayed the entire time (5 miles!) on my odd shaped head, I couldn't tell ya how happy I am with them! Go get one for yourself at GlamBandZ on etsy, or check out her facebook page, HERE !

Intervals/ Biggest loser DVD

read any magazine or fitness blogs and you will always hear about intervals. Each one will tell you intervals is the best way to burn belly fat. What I like about intervals is its not so boring, my mind is thinking about what i need to do next and the time seems to go by faster!



I get the Womens Running Magazine and just read under the title WHY YOU CANT LOSE WEIGHT that.."the latest research shows that running for less time is actually more effective for fat loss than running long and slow"  Which you should try intervals to get a good workout in a shorter time frame!

Also in another  part it says to make sure to rest, cross train and lift weights. I have been lifting more weight (well using the total gym so using my own body weight)  because I want my metabolism to increase when I'm at rest doing nothing! Maybe it will help me get out of that part where I just cant get under a certain weight.  Not to mention get some muscle and toneness to my body!

If your a PINTEREST freak like me, you can look up all kinds of different interval options that might fit your speed and level!

Tuesday:

 

Biggest losers Calorie Knockout, Level 1,2& 3  Of course I love level 2 because its bob and harder than the other levels, I seriously just shake and my thighs burn like all get out!

 

 

Wednesday:  Rest day

We have a wood burning furnace at our house, so today I need to go get a load of wood. Which really is such a hard workout so its not really a rest day! But I love doing manual labor jobs!  I feel I'm doing something that my hubby used to do every year, and helping him out so its one less thing he has to do when he gets home from a long day!

Great wife I am huh? HEHE
