Man, I really suck at blogging, lol! I do good for a few days, and then month of nothing. I am getting focued back on my health, my house, and my family and I need a place to journal my progress... so once more I am blogging.
On Tuesday, when I got home from taking C & D to school, I popped in one of my old "Walk at Home" DVDs and got down to business in the living room while Hubby, M & R were still sleeping. I had forgotten just how much fun it is to do those workouts! After my walk I went on facebook to post about it and I found out they have a Walk Social App on the facebook page & website so I can track my walks on there too. It keeps track of how far you walked and you can also tell it what workout you did. They even have a 11 different Full Version videos for free in the video library :) Wow, that kinds sounds like a commercial for it, lol. I'm just kinda excited about it. That's a really good thing considering how much i've put my health and fitness on the back burner the last few months.
Yesterday my hubby asked me to do some walking while the boys were at football practice. I walked for about 25 minutes, but didn't keep track of distance or anything. Just back and forth between two bridges on the walking path over by the field they are practicing on.
He also asked me to look back into Weight Watchers. I did it on my own (with free info i found online) about 5 years ago and lost about 25 pounds. So I did some internet searching and found most of the info for their updated Points Plus system and the point counting starts today. I'll probably be posting some links and info on here so I can find it all myself incase I loose my interne bookmarks (it's been known to happen). I downloaded a free app onto my phone that has a Points Plus calculator and a simple points tracker too.
My points allowances...

My house is very cluttered. We don't have much storage space in this house and our shed is still unfinished. I just stumbled upon this on my facebook feed today... The One Hour Cleanup ... I think my day of the week should be Thursday (yes, that's today) but I will be starting with the mountain of laundry currently in my living room (well, 2 mountains on couch & chair, then 2 big baskets, plus there's a load in both washer & dryer). I have 4 boys- C (9), D (7), M (3), and R (1). D & M just switched clothing sizes, so i need to make sure to sort out any clothes that need to go in storage boxes (to save for the next in line) or the trash (of it has big stains or holes).
