I look at everyday as a blessing to be with my children. I may get out of breathe when I am walking with my boys but it's worth it to see their smiling faces.0 -

Emotional-I tend to ignore my weight when with my family. I want to be more active as my son gets older, which is one of the reasons that I am doing this.0 -
Maybe late.. but better late than never, right?
Oven Beef Stew
1 pkg stewing beef
1/3 c. flour
2 med onions
5 med potatoes
3 cloves garlic
1 c turnip ( optional) ( I often use yam or butternut squash intstead)
5 carrotts ( 3-4-c)
2 stalks celery,
4 c water
1 Tablespoon beef boullion powder
1 7oz can tomato sauce ( or 1/4 c barbeque sauce)
1 tsp thyme
Sprinkle - oregano leaves
- pepper
1 bay leaf.
In large casserole dish/ roaster toss beef and flour together to coat beef. Add rest of ingredients. Bake covered at 325 for 3 hours, stirring occasionally ( if you remember.)
Can also be done in large slow cooker-- on low for 8 hours. Do NOT stir in slow cooker-- you'll lose your heat!
My fav thing about this-- in the right season, I can make it ALL with local products!!

Emotional Challenge-- How do I deal with being the weight I am? Well, let's have a cookie and mull that one over.
My family is actually very supportive of me no matter what-- I have 2 sisters that are both large as well, and while my parents are both quite slender, have always been out for my best interests. They just come by it more naturally as they did tons of manual labor farming for years. My hubby is VERY supportive, although, seems to sabotage my workouts sometimes as he " NEEDS to get this stuff done" for whatever he's working on. Ugh. He's only home 2 weekends a month though, so I just work around him. Interestingly, in the past couple years, both of my sisters have also become more active as well ( one of them started running, the other has become a cycling/ cross country skiing/ yoga/ Zumba enthusiast.. ). With my closer sister( the latter) we have called each other regularly with weigh-ins, successes an failures, and so on, and having a support like that has been wonderful. 0 -
Oops! Meant to put this with the other post!
Hope you're all having a lovely lazy long weekend! I went to a wedding for one of my best friends on Saturday and danced my butt off.. and looked smokin' hot! Of course, I didn't get any pics of myself though-- was busy concentrating on the bride! I WILL post pics of my shoes though.. I was WAY under on my cals for Sat too-- did a big workout in preparation, and then ended up sitting at a table with a bunch of people that I didn't know, the food was actually pretty healthy... and I didn't want to be the ONLY one to have a heaping plate or go back for seconds!! By the time the bun bar was out with the dance, it was pretty late, and I just wasn't hungry. I'm sure it will even itself out!
Got some mowing done yesterday for my cardio.. I love a workout that feels productive too! Had meant to get more done after Emma went to bed, ( my mom has taken my son to a grandparent/ kid camp for the night, so I'm down by a kid! Whooo!) but last night was the first night in her BIG bed... so she didn't actually stay in it until it was dark. Oh, the excitement of getting out of bed whenever you want!! Ironic how as a grownup, I would stay in there MUCH longer if my kids would let me!!0 -
