"ARE you having A BABY??" as he was touching my fat on my stomach.....YA. I know right!!!

My face turned WHITE.

I said NO! he said looks like your having a BABY!

(I had tears. HE dosent know better and I know I am trying to get rid of it but still I was sad.)

THEN it came OVER me...I AM GOING TO PROVE THIS kid WRONG!

I worked out twice as hard last night and

this morning

doubled up on my excerises!

COFFEE?? NOPE I kicked that habit this morning and did straight Juice it up with just blueberries, bananna and no added jucies just a splash of SOY!

*the thought of sitting on a pot while eating I just can't do it lol!

Lots OF love

Hubby and I don't really "DO" the whole Valentines day THINg.

SO it was not that SAD

when he had class he had to go to straight after work yesterday.

INSTEAD the KIDDOS and I had a fun, unique vday together.

Starting with this awesome PASTA we found

(okay ya i know pasta is HORRIBLE for me! but it was VDAY!)

can you see it...

here is a closer look

HEART SHAPED PASTA NOODLES!! we found this pasta at World Market!!! Ahhh I love that store...but I can blog about that another day ; )

after adding some great sauce (the pink sauce...you know you mix the Alfredo with the marinara and you get PINK!...to my kids that was AMAZING)

turned out great and we snuggled up I asked them where would YOU like to eat our dinner tonight? "LIVING ROOM!!!!!!" which is NEVER but last night it was okay...we sat and talked about all the cool cards and candies they got and enjoyed a little girl time : ) !

TO MY SURPRISE this morning the hubby (even though i made it clear) broke the rule and bought some flowers for us girls and cards for us all ...what a sweet heart.

NOW for today...extra work out gotta get those carbs away!

going to go running tonight...keep ya posted tomorrow...

DO you celebrate Valentines day??? Did you do anything creative?

U name it

we HAd IT!

LAST Week SUMMED up QUICKLY!

WE got the Flu..

(by we I mean me, hubby and kiddo #2 ...kiddo #1 was healthy as a bee)

What is it LIKE being a MOM and sick ???

(some might wonder...others such as moms might laugh because well we all been through this)

Dino's enter your bed when your not looking...only to comfort the little ones...

about 18 hours of cartoons only because its the only thing that will keep your sick kid from laying with you while you try to recover...

Besides having Day quillto get Kiddo #1 to school on time we had night quill to ignore the constant coughing of Kiddo #2 all night...(well my hubby did...i just can't do that)

Then as your Doped up on your MEDS.

YOU decide that you should Try to work out because your mom sends you this quote:

“Don’t wait to feel better to go to the gym, go to the gym to feel better.”

WRONG! so WRONG. I felt good while doing it but surly after  my body disagreed so then...

 you try to find something else to well keep them sitting still...so MANY Games of memory...oh so MANY. 

BUT any who the best part of being sick with the KIDDOs is that you get some EXTRA quality time with them ...EVEn the HUBBY. (WHO didn't want to be photographed due to sickness lol!)

Kiddo #1 was SUCH a great help I even stuck it out and took her to her gymnastics class!

(no one sat next to me...)

ANd to SAY thank you TO her we bought some SKInny COW ice Cream sandwiches ...which was a real blessing because we were SO sick of soup and Popsicles lol!

(yum!)

After having that week ... I am ready for this week and to SAY I LOVE you to MY favorite PEOPLE my family!!!!

HAVE a great VALENTINES DAY!

Whats your SICK days LIKE?? do you work out still when your sick?

*i did...two days in a row...i felt to bad the last 2 days so i couldn't do it. But it did help for a small time....very small.

HELP!

I love it and all but 4 YEARS!!!! i need one night of uninterrupted sleep!

I know this is not true BUT... I am going to blame her for 20% of my weight gain LOL!

(think about it...lack of sleep...causes you to over eat and be unhealthy right!)

i MADE A GREAT LUNCH TODAY

since I am trying to ease my stomach I thought it would be best to do something with less veggies today and more PROTEIN!

First my Pita bread

Then some  Trader Joe's powder peanut butter

its packaged nicer at the store but well that just turns into a great mess so i store it

; )

you just add  a small amount of water and

TADDA!!!!(I love that word ...one more time TADDA!!!!!)

made my self a nice Pita Peanut butter sandwich

(well minus the sandwich part.)

What type of Peanut butter do you use??

*I am IN LOVE with peanut butter...I could eat the whole jar! so anywho I decided to go with the Trader Joe's Peanut butter its less calories and fat!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY



SUCH great PAINS!

What was I thinking!

well...to be honest I remembered but for some reason I must have thought i got some super cool fighting powers that beat all doctors odds!

(well its my favorite Veggie!!)

This VEGGIE was RAW Broccoli

Yep you heard me...I cannot eat RAW broccoli but what did i do yesterday ...ATE just about a WHOLE bag of it to be exact.

And as the pain grew MORE and MORE

It felt as if I had a MINI Rambo shoved inside my stomach.

and we all know Rambo can do some serious damage.

I was in great pain making dinner (hubby was at class) so I decided to take it easy and make the girls some soup

What kind of soup did THIS bright lady make?

Broccoli potato Cheddar

ya ya ya i know what was i thinking...it wasn't until after I ate the whole bowl I realized not only do I now how Rambo ripping apart my insides his little friend...

unkie chuckie decided to join in.

( I only know that lingo because well brought up with boys lol!)

SO A few (TONS) of MOANS and GROANS later

MY husband had no pity for me I woke up this morning feeling A HECK of a LOT better...and realized that unless I am UP for some MORE crime fighting action in my stomach I better NEVER touch RAW broccoli again.

...or at least for a while ; )

This morning...no exercise but will have to do it tonight! I did however get a Cottage cheese to go. and that is good for me I not feeling it this morning!

DO you ever Eat ANYTHING that makes YOUR stomach into a crime fighting Machine?

*Cant have broccoli and I will never touch a donut..too much sugar (last time I had one I almost passed out.)
