Bike ride

We got Austin a new big boys bike on Saturday so Gavin could have his own bike and Austin could have his. Austin was begging for a pink bike to ride…..great. We talked him into the cool Spiderman bike instead! It needed to be a bike that both of them would like to use so that’s why we went away from the pink. Nothing against it really… They had a blast going up and down the sidewalk.

Austin got fast quick! As a result one of his training wheels got off the sidewalk a few times and made him fall over. One of the times he fell he hit into an electrical pole….Yes another injury and scar for Austin. Great! Here’s a pic of that! Looks like my blog is going to become the “This is what this injury should look like” kind of blog….

This is after I got the bleeding stopped… His chin got it good as well.

So we have a burned ear on one side, and a scrapped up face on the other side…I guess we should have gotten the helmet on a little sooner. We just didn’t think he would get THAT fast…

My most proudest moment as a parent was Austin asking to get back on his bike again!

This time complete with helmet. I don’t think we will ever have to fight him over wearing that! That’s my boy!

They rode their bike all night long! they got at least 5 hours of riding in. Here’s what his face looks like today:

Yeah he was WAY happy to get another picture taken….. :)

Weight loss: Week 17

So as you can tell I haven’t been keeping up on this segment! Jumping from week 9 to week 17? That’s crazy! But I guess with a kid burning his head, end of semester, and a week long family vacation it’s easy to fall behind.
So before I reveal my numbers keep in mind I haven’t been doing ANYTHING right except trying to keep to my portion sizes..mostly. I’ve been eating junk food, and juices, and eating late at night. In fact, I ate 2 gushers packets before I wrote this. I know, NOT the portion size at all…
Measurements:
Weight: 185.5   +.5 (total –10.5)
Chest: 44.25, +1.25 (total +.75)
Belly: 41.75, +.75 (total –.25)
Hips: 42.75 + .25 (total –1.25)
Thigh: 24.75, same (total, –.2)
And I would like to add arms: 13
I’ve noticed that some of my clothes aren’t fitting as well around my arms anymore so I’d like to see that progress now as well.
So overall I’m not pleased with the results but what was I to expect? I haven’t been eating too well and eating whatever I want. \
What I’ve done to hopefully make me more successful in the future:
1st off I’m considering this my start over. I’m basically back to my original size just 10 pounds lighter this time. Which I’m still happy about! I am re-motivated
2nd I have bought all the food I was eating before that made me successful. I didn’t have the money to get them and now I am all stocked up!
3rd Andrew, my husband wants to exercise with me! At night before we can watch that show or play that game we MUST exercise! I think this will help me SO much! :)
So that’s the game plan. My goal is to get down to the total loss in each of the categories I was before.
Happy change of habits to you all!
