Wow! It has
been a busy week. My husband asked me
last night, “Have you blogged this week?”
My response, “Um, nope!” So I
figured I should let you know some things that have been happening around our
household.
Week One of the cleaning schedule was a success! Did you download my schedule? If not, be sure to do so, it’s in my previous
post. I found that cleaning went by A
LOT faster, for me anyway, if it was broken into chunks, and done daily.
I also created a large floor pillow (with the help
of my mother-in-law) for Baby Boy! I
must say it was much simpler than I thought it was going to be. I found the idea on Pinterest, but I couldn’t
find clear directions on how to make it.
So I thought, “How does it look like she made it?” (Just so you know, it took me about 3 hours to make this.)
Off to JoAnn’s Fabric I
went. I purchased:
1 no-sew fleece blanket
kit
3 bags of Poly-fill
This was my end result. I am happy!
Plus Baby Boy and the kitties approve of it.
I also decided that I needed to get back into my
regular routine of eating for one, I did have Baby Boy on October 30th. I gained 43 pounds while pregnant. I lost 26 pounds within my first two weeks
postpartum. Then I stopped. Talk about a slap to the ego!
So I did some research…looked into joining Weight
Watchers again. Then I thought, “We’re
down to a single income. We can’t afford
for me to count points and buy my own food.”
Then like and answered prayer, a friend on Facebook posted about this
new free “diet book” she was reading.
When she said that it was free- I was like, “I’ve got nothing to lose-
well, except extra lbs.” It’s called, The Eden Diet. I was curious about it, downloaded it to my
Kindle, and read it.
OMG! Eating
and losing weight made simple! The book is now $7.69 in the Kindle Store. It's totally worth the money…and totally worth the time to read. Dr. Hancock is a Christian doctor, with the
belief that you can eat anything you want and still lose weight. She starts off her book with a 7-day
challenge, which I have to say works. I
lost 5 pounds this past week. I’m
telling you, what she writes- makes a whole lot of sense. Come on, do you think you can do a simple
7-day challenge? This housewife thinks
you can!
