Phew!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, it seems like life has just gone crazy these past few days!! I finished week 3 on Monday night and started week 4 today. I did take a few days off in between but I've been on my feet lots doing baking and stuff so by the time the evening came, I was too pooped! It was very hard tonight! I had to run 3, walk 90, run 5, walk 2 1/2 then repeat. By the second 3 minutes I was so tired but I pushed through and kept going. By the 3rd minute in the last 5 minutes I was almost about to give up but knew I could do it. And I'm glad I did! I'm really wanting to start running outside soon, but I want to get a bit better first. Maybe week 5.

I've been baking some Easter cookies and cake pops the last couple of days for this weekend and it was fun! Here's some pics!

I think I'm going to sign up with WW online. I've found it to be a bit difficult to track. I find myself popping anything into my mouth while making dinner or the kids lunch. I guess I could always sign up and if I don't use it, I could just cancel it.

Anyways, off to crash!

Weigh In

I had my weigh in this morning and I was down 1lb (176). I'm not overly excited about it cause I know it could have been better if it weren't for my set backs :) But like I said last week, a pound is a pound and that makes my total since March 8th as 5.6lbs. I'm thinking I'd like to sign up for WW online. I thought it was going to work without it, but I find it's hard to keep track. We'll see.

I'm planning on doing day 3 of week 3 (C25K) tonight. Hubby isn't working tonight so it should work out as long as he doesn't get a fire call. I'm enjoying it, although after I did the last one, my thighs were a little sore!

I thought I would post a picture of some sugar cookies I made this morning. I know most people use royal icing to decorate them, but I didn't feel like making any. Plus I had lots of fondant left from previous cakes. Pretty cute eh?

I made 2 dozen, 3 of each design. It only took me about an hour or so to make the dough, chill it, roll it out, cut them out, roll out the fondant, cut the fondant, then bake and put the fondant on after they are baked. Pretty fun! I see tons of possibilities here! I still have some dough left so I might try to do some royal icing ones later in the week.
