Losing Weight after Pregnancy

Before my pregnancies, I was very skinny with  a 24 waist line measurement and 90 pounds weight.  After my two pregnancies however, my waistline has expanded to 28 lol. It is really hard to return to the pre-pregnancy figure. I weigh 97 pounds  now and the  5 pounds of it is my tummy fat, whew!

I am still working on  getting rid of  the stubborn tummy fats.  It's been eight years and   it seems like the bulging tummy has no cure, sigh.  This is my third   day  of  using my  FREE work out materials from empower.  

Busy Weekend

Hello there everyone, whew, what a busy weekend we have over here.  I went to bed at past 1 am and woke up at 8 am.  Below are my tasks done and to be done for today.

• Cooked some breakfast (tinapa, rice, and  salsa).  We love  eating this combo every weekend, so when we went to Asian store last month and saw a big stock of tinapa, we bought a dozen packages lol.
• 
  
• After breakfast, daughter and I reviewed her lessons last week, read her take home books, and did some math exercise.
• 
  
• Cleaned up the kitchen, vacuumed the floor, and did some dusting with the kids help.
• 
  
• Sorted out the laundry, I usually have five loads of them.  I started one and while the washer is going, I cleaned up the basement a little bit.
• 
  
• Did my 30 minutes work out at our treadmill (walking and running), I burned 350 calories.  I thought I would be able to do sit ups but I only did two and quit lol.
• 
  
• Hubby did painted our railings at the back porch and did some workout at the bowflex.
• Still have three more loads to go to the washer.
• 
  
• There's a shooting of the film again in Bookers Street so hopefully we could watch.

Anyhow, sharing here the top that I got from Listia for free.  I did not spend even a cent because the shipping is free.  I am not into black color but when I find a style that I like, that's when I get this color.  This zips down the belly so you can adjust the cleavage you want to show, since I don't have big boobie, it's always up lol.

You can wear it alone or you can wear it with leggings.  Above were taken at our kitchen and below  was taken at my laundry room.  Who says you can't have fun while doing laundry hahaha.

Now I am fresh, sore but I feel good to have  done my exercise again.  It was funny  because when the kids realized that both hubby and I were downstairs and working out, they both came down and cheered us up saying "Go Mommy, go Daddy!"  Thanks kids fr the encouragement.  Hope you guys are having a lovely weekend!

Panhandle Trail Walkathon

Jen's family invited us to join their family walkathon at Panhandle Trail. We have never been there and hubby does not actually know the place. I immediately said yes when hubby asked me because it's been a while since I last had my exercise lol.

The place was really beautiful, you have so many beautiful things to see as you walk on.

Only bikers, joggers, and people who are walking are allowed on this trail so it is pretty safe even for the kids.

Rylie walked as far as she could but EJ rode the stroller all the way lol. There is a place where you can swing, they put this rope on the branch of a tree. Jen's husband Jim, tried it. It's a little thrilling because if you let go, you'll end up in the water lol.

There we reached the two miles mark then we head back so we had 4 miles walk. We've seen one bike on the road so we inspect the river to see if somebody got hurt but we didn't see anyone instead we saw another bike at the bottom of the river. I think, somebody threw their old bike there and decided to just go home walking, I don't know..

Rylie got exhausted going back so he asked Dad to carry her. I think, she walked like three miles. I will definitely walk again out there as I feasted my eyes on beautiful butterflies, flowers, ducks, fishes, and birds. I'll share the critters on a separate post.

Here is a parenting tip from parents.com

Parenting Tip of the Day.

The kids might be driving you bananas, but don’t lose your cool! Breathe first; adjust your voice to a soft, I-mean-business tone (practice if you need to). Use it to state clear rules and follow through on consequences. And remember: A strong bond makes discipline easier. Establish a firm foundation of love. Your child will be less likely to act up.
