Attempt to fix the wig

I posted last week about getting help to fix my daughter’s snow white wig for Halloween.  My sister posted to wash it and condition it and then it should go back.  It did pretty good and is a lot smoother (I also put some bumble and bumble straight on it) but now I need to try and get the ends curled under again.  I can’t use a regular curly iron on the wig because it is cheap fake hair.  How can I get it to curl under and look neat again.

Positive thinking = 2 1/4 in weight loss in 6 days!

I am absolutely loving this!  changing my frame of mind and losing weight = perfect!  I have always struggled at both in the past but am not struggling anymore, especially with the weight loss.  I don’t want to rewrite my big long post with my measurement chart here so if you would like to see what I have done and my exact inches then click over to my weight loss blog here http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2010/10/inches-lost-in-6-days-2-14.html

I still have ups and downs with myself but it is coming along nicely.  You know what I am gong to do today, seriosuly?  I have not changed my summer for winter clothes yet and need to start that today.  instead of keeping the “fat” clothes arround I am going to donate them.  Seriously!  What good is it to keep them around because with the way I am changing I will NOT need them again.  So long clothes.  I truly believe that if we hang onto them then we are telling our subconscious we will need them again and I refuse to go down that road again!

have a great day because even though I have a head cold today it has been a great day!

Inches lost in 6 days 2 1/4

I took measurements so early because i got sick yesterday night and wanted to see how many inches I lose while sick.  These inches lost are not from being sick but from doing plank position every day (almost 200 seconds), walking the kids to the store every day and trying to add another 20 minutes onto that walk.  Lastly, I am not eating late at night so going to bed a little hungry if I stay up too late.  It is really not that hard to do the things above, it is becoming a habit now so I don’t have to think about it.  Oh and of course, eating very little (striving for not at all) processed food/fast food.

Measurement- all in inches.
Oct 12                             Oct 18              Gain or Loss
Bust: 42                            41                     L-1              
Under bust: 36 3/4            36                     L-3/4
Waist:  41 1/2                   41 1/2               0
C-section scare is: 43        42 3/4               1/4
Hips:  45                           45                     0
Thigh (one):  25                 24 3/4               1/4
Upper arm:  12                  12                     0

Total loss in 6 days = 2 1/4

This is awesome and i am so proud of it!  I knew I had lost something as my jeans and other pants were feeling a little loser then they were last week.  I had just bought a belt last week and in 6 days I had to go down one more notch because they kept falling down.  I also noticed that my bra is a little too big.  I use to be bummed when I would lose here first but to be totally honest it is nice to be able to fit in some of my smaller shirts again without popping out so I am good with this. lol

I have also been looking in the mirror everyday and saying out loud how grateful I am that I am on the right journey and that I am looking good.  not focusing on what i need to lose but rather being grateful for what I have lost.  Inspired from my positive thinking journey I am blogging at http://tawnassecret.blogspot.com/

Love seeing these numbers declining!

Sick=Okay to be lazy!

I have to say that the other day I was thinking to myself “I should post that I have not been sick in a long time.”  I know that this has a lot to do with my healthy lifestyle taking over my non-healthy.  Does this mean that I am not human and never going to get sick…no.  I am today.  It actually started yesterday with a sracthy throat but I was able to do things, I just sucked on zinc drops.  Last night my kids got it and I am here with them alone all night and it was a rough night.  We now have a stuffy head, sore throat etc.  Neither of my kdis slept well which means I did not sleep well.  Porr babies.

Will take it easy to day and hopefully this passes by tomorrow or my Wed at the latest!

Shopping for boys sucks!

Does any other mom’s out there go very frustrated with our retail stores?  I do!  I am sick and tired of walking into a children’s clothing store and having to walk clear in the back corner to find the 1 or  shelves they have dedicated to boys clothes.  I have to surf through 25 racks of girls clothes to get to 1 rack of of boys!

I use to love this when I only had a daughter, I could shop anywhere, anytime and find pretty much anything at the first store i went to.  Now that I have added a boy to our mix, this is not an easy task.

Thanks to Carters for actually having half a store full of boys clothes but they are not always convenient to go to.

Anyone else know of any other stores that actually sell boys clothes?  Any of you retailers?  If so can I make a request to get some more boys clothes int he mix.  Boys may not be bread to shop, but most woman want to shop and buy clothes and not just for their daughters.  I personally despise shopping but love to shop for my kids.

Happy shopping everyone!

How I made myself work out today when I did not want to.

Today my throat is a bit sore and I was not in the mood to even walk and it is a beautiful day. How did i manage to fit one in?  Here is my secret…get really mad at your husband and want to get out fast.  Pack the baby up in the backpack and go on a long walk. 

Nothing like a long walk to get that frustration out of your system.  The silver lining to being mad I guess.  Hopefully a better workout and a non-sore throat tomorrow.

Have a great day!
