Wha'd Up Wednesday

We’ve been humming and hawing about posting our weight and measurements for the public to see.  We were considering it in hopes that it might keep us accountable to aide in losing inches/weight as not much else does.  We have made the decision to do it and are now sharing this info with the world (or our 2 readers). 

We weighed and measured ourselves on Sunday, August 23^rd.  We will check in and weigh ourselves once a week and the check in for measurements will be every month.  We have decided to make weigh day Sunday mornings as that might help up not overeat on the weekend like we usually do.

Here are the stats (lbs and inches):

Twin 2:            Weight – 175.7

Bust – 36

Waist – 31

Hips – 46

Thigh – 27.5

--------------------------------------------------

Twin 1:           Weight – 132.0

                        Bust – 31

                        Waist – 26      

                        Hips – 35        

                        Thigh – 23

                        Bicep – 10.75

                        Calf – 13.5

You will notice that Twin 1 has more measurements this week.  During our next check in on Sept 23 Twin 2 will have those added.   However, the ones she has listed are the most important and the harder to work off.

Also this past Sunday we started this workout and we are doing it for the week (compliments of Pinterest).

Tip Tuesday

Eat, drink, and be merry after a big race.  Eat a small snack within the first 30 to 60 minutes postrace.  Save the big meal for later in the day when your appetite returns and you can enjoy that reward meal.

Motivational Monday

Rubber Bands

So Twin 2 has a rubber band addiction/obsession.  She uses a lot of them at work (or used to) and she always came home with no less than 5 around her wrist every day.  A sign was put up on her office door that she would see every day to remind her to remove the elastics from around her wrist before she left the office.  She had some hanging from every door knob in her house.  One day someone even asked her where she got her bracelets because they matched her outfit so well :)

Over the past year since her new position she hasn't had the opportunity to use them as much until one day last week.  TA DA!!!  Look what she brought home. 

There are many uses for rubber bands and below are just a few.  Check out #8 'Craft a statement necklace' YEP .... homemade prezzies coming up.

Our absolute favourite is #19.  Genius!

 Which leads us to her pet peeve about how rubber bands are packaged.  They are packaged by the 100s, in a box.  You need to remove and untangle about 30 of them before you manage to get one loose (at her work anyway). 

DISASTER!!

Her and another co-worker were discussing the rubber band packaging and how it could be more efficient when reaching for that elastic.  Twin 2 suggested that they come hung up one by one somehow.  Her co-worker said 'they should come on a mannequin's wrist'.  BRILLIANT!! Why wasn't that thought of before??

We're now working on it.
