Isabel princess

Today Isabel decided that she wanted to wear her tutu. So she had fun running round in it and putting her crown on and off.

17 DD - Day 5

So Joe and I ended up breaking down and getting a pizza last night. bad i know. i pretty much start to cry when joe said that we could go get a pizza like i had been craving as long as I exercised an hour that night and today. So i agreed and got the pizza. I was hoping it would be like wow this is gross. but no it was soo good. haha. So we play a good game of just dance last night and today spend like 4 hours working outside. Soo tired now. Isabel loved it though! She didn't want to go inside.


After a long days working outside we grilled up some homemade turkey burgers. They were yummy! They tasted like beef.. who would have know!



We bought Isabel some sunglasses like 6months ago for her at target at thoses dollar deals sections. She wouldn't let us put them on her so now trying ti again, she loves them. She thinks its so funny to wear them. She is so funny

17 DD - day 3

So day 3 on 17 DD. i have to addmit it is hard begin on the diet. I have been craving anything with carobs! Esp. pizza. i havent felt satisfied with eating after meals at all. Just wanting a bite of somthing that's "real food" with bread or pasta. The funny thing is it's not "real food" its not good for you food. but i guess my body is going through withdrawals. If Joe wasn't doing this diet with me i think i would have quite by now. i found a recipe idea at Doctors tv show site. They have a whole community of support for the diet which has helped me already. i figure the week or so will be the hardest and then it will get easy. Anywho, there was an idea to make your eggs in a muffin pan and make little omelets in them. Then all you have to do it heat them up real quick and not want to just have a bowl of cereal in the morning. So that's what i did here. i made some for joe with more veggies in them than mine. each one is about an egg. But this is what they look like.

play-doh

so Isabel and I had fun making play-doh. I should have done this awhile ago! Its nice to have her playing in the kitchen and not bugging me while i'm trying to clean the kitchen. Didn't take very long till the colors were all mixed up! Plus joe was excited when he woke up from his nap and get to play with her with it.

17 Day Diet

So Joe and I have decided to diet together. I'm pretty sick of this whole gained so much weight. "they say" that keeping a food blog would help the process in succeeding. I'm pretty confident in this one. I have been practicing in way for awhile now trying to eat healthier. So i'm getting better. The diet will be the test. With Joe being with me on this, i'm hoping we will be good support for each other. So what's the diet? It's the big diet thats going on right now that Dr. Phill and the t.v show The Doctors, called The 17 Day Diet. In other words its 4 cycles of 17 days. So all i have to think about is i can do this for 17 days. Not thinking i have to do this forever! I have had a hard time being ok with dieting and this one i have found i agree with the most so this is why i picked it out. So basically this cycle is all about no carobs and sugar. Which i though was going to be hard. But i know I need to do talking to different doctors, so i have been cutting down a lot. So lots of protein and good veggies. So far it's been one day and a half and I haven't been hungry at all after meals and feel satisfied. Surprisingly i have not been feeling cravings for sugar or pasta which i though would happen since i love the stuff. But feel like i have more energy. So i think this cycle is going to be easier than i thought. I have pretty much planned out this weeks meals for the whole day with snacks so i don't have to think about it and can prepare stuff ahead of time so when i am lazy, i don't resort to eating something from Isabel's shelf.. ha. Any-who.. thats my story. here is a picture of the dinner i prepared for us tonight. Which i though was very good and i didn't even finish it all. i never knew turkey sausage could taste so good but i liked it more than pork sausage and didn't gross me out. so that was amazing to me. I ended up eating 1 1/2 of them.

I am interested in how many calories and carobs I am taking in so i am entering my meals in myfitnesspal.com which is free. For its diet for me technically i can only have 1200 cal everyday. which now its the end of the day and i have 623 calories and 140 carobs left today. And with the the 17 day program i can still have a yogurt later which i think i will have for dessert. So i feel pretty good about today.

my dinner alone was cal-388

carbs-11 - good job!

protein- 29g - good job!

fat- 25

(including another half of sausage)

so not bad at all!

End of March

So as march comes to an end here are some photos I have took of Bells.

We got some pillows and Isabel loves to take them off and jump on them and cuddle. It's cute until your in the kitchen so she thinks she should bring them into the kitchen and lay in the middle of the floor

Joe got Isabel ready this day and did her hair. This happens maybe once a month and he did a pretty good job this time. She's a cutie with her big ears and all.

Joe got an Ipod touch for his (early) birthday present. Joe put some of Pocoyo t.v shows on it for Bells. It's a toddler that has different animal friends and he learns about things. It's about 7mins long. So Isabel calls it "again" because she knows she has to say, again, to watch another episode. Funny girl.

Sun Dress

So I did the banndana dress like I wanted to as I posted before. Luckly I had a little money on a gift card so I only needed to spend 73cents on it. Sweet! So I was going to do the bandana reg. pattern but I love this hawiian print and I was afraid it would look weird since i had to changed the pattern to fit Isabel since she is a 18months not a 2T. But yeah would change some things on it but its still cute and a fun play dress for Bells and fun to learn a new skill in sewing. Plus i ended up with some extra maerial after altering it and so i made some cute fabric flowers out of them for her hair just need to buy some clips. Which I need to get anyways because I have been wanting to try out some ideas on making differnt types of hair bows. Fun fun!
