Catchin' Up

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 30^th.  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!
