Boooo Mondays

My husband left yesterday. It was also our seventh anniversary. Such is the life of an oilfield wife.
Today, Sylas and I went to Little Gym and then went to my gym. He hasn't always been so great about staying in the Kid's Club area but he actually let me work out for an hour!
I got on the elliptical for an hour and did glutes and legs. Whew. My thighs are killing me today!
Sylas attends school tomorrow morning. I'm going to vote (GO VOTE!!) and then hit up the gym. I'm planning on doing day three of week two on the C25K app.
I have my weekly weigh in tomorrow. I hope I do decent... But I'm not sure. I've been craving carbs like crazy today after my workout. Nomnom

Hope to update tomorrow!!
bye!

Sick, again?

I am so over being sick. I swear. (Posting this from my phone so forgive me if its all over the place) I had a session with my trainer today. My legs were still a little on the weak side so we worked on arms. I thought they were going to fall off! I had to get my teeth cleaned today. A deep cleaning. Wow. They had to numb my whole mouth... And it was numb for about four hours. I couldn't eat the yummy gumbo I had planned. Boo. I was really tired so I took a nap and woke up feeling like crap. My stomach is all upset again. Bleh. And my son isn't feeling too well either. My poor husband... He's probably not enjoying his time home. Ha. Until next time... Sanddi

Introduction

HI! My name is Sanddi. I'm an oilfiled wife to an awesome guy of (almost!) seven years, Preston. I'm a mother to an awesome (almost!) two year old named Sylas. We live in the great state of Texas. I'm twenty seven years old and a stay at home mom.

Pre-child, I was in decent shape. I wasn't healthy... then got healthy. Then got pregnant. Now that he's older, in school and we're not breastfeeding anymore, I've decided to get back on that healthy wagon.
I'm doing a Biggest Loser competition through a local forum and it's already going so you're a little behind.

Well let me catch you up!
I started this competition weighing 182 on September 11th.
We have a weigh in every Tuesday. (I do it in the morning, first thing.)
My second weigh in was 181.
My third weigh in was 178.
My fourth weigh in was 178. (yeah... no gain though!)
My fifth weigh in was 176.
And today (sixth weigh in) was 175. whooop whooop!

How am I doing this?
I have a personal trainer. Her name is Amanda and she's awesome.
I also watch what I eat. I'm not saying I count my calories or anything... I'm just making smarter choices. I do not drink sodas. None. Zip. Nada. I do have an addiction to Starbucks though... ssshhhh.

This blog will be updates on how I'm doing and so forth. I'll throw in some random things, I'm sure... and maybe some recipes! Yum! Food is good! ha.

Tomorrow, I have a session with my trainer. (should have been today but I'm recovering from a weird stomach bug) I'll have to burn off some extra calories because I've got gumbo on the menu for tomorrow's dinner. mmmm

Bye!
