I turned 31 yesterday. My dad called at 7.00 and wished me. Spoke to them for a while. Brushed my teeth, NK had made chai. Inlaws called and wished me. My youngest chachi called.
Logged onto FB and found many wishes there. Logged onto BIO and found a thread there.
But then it was just another day. Made lunch, girls came home lunch. Nk came home with cake. Cut cake, clean kitchen. I had signed up to do a craft show in the evening so I got ready for that in the evening. Said bye to kids and left. Just another day, but now I am 31.
On that note, my weight loss is stuck. I havent gone to a gym YET. I cannot Nordic Walk on weekdays. Its too hectic. I am not able to go to the gym in the evenings. My pedometer has readings of 3-5K. I normally average 10-12K. I am eating more and sneaking the “whats one more Nutella and bread” or another piece of Ghiradelli chocolate piece. I need to get off my butt and start working out again before the damm lbs pile back one.
For comparison, this is the exact outfit, I wore in the last update but different pants. The pants do look same but its a smaller size 
After looking at both pictures, I look smaller in the Oct 2nd wala. Sigh!
Last Night
Oct 2nd Picture
hey don’t beat yourself up so much about not working out in CA yet – you’ve only just moved there…
But why the diff in hecticness on weekdays here? Haven’t the boys started school/preschool here?
BTW, what crafts do you do? And do you have an Etsy store?

Me: M thanks for the wishes. In CO, I walked the girls to the bus stop at 7.30, armed with my ipod and poles, As soon as they got on the bus, I did my 3 mile routine and ran back home. Here, I load everyone in the van by 8, drop the girls off, drop NK off and come home. Neil will start preschool dec 1st. I am hoping to start the 24 hour fitness routine by then. What sucks even more is that in CO, I paid $15 per month for all 4 kids to get 2 hours of babysitting everyday. Imagine $15 per month. here, its going to be $3.50 per child for 2 hours. Sigh.
As for esty, I did have a store when I was doing the knitting but now I sell stuff from Bangkok/India. Shawls, beaded bags and likes.
Sorry – forgot to add – Happy Birthday!

Thanks for stopping by my blog
…I can see we share the same sentiments about moving places and weight loss….thanks for the wishes, I’m sure you’ll begin to love California too!
Me:Good luck on the flight.
Happy birdday to you peee peep!!! Shit man you dont look 31, think if you went out with i will look 31. heh. Anyway, i think you look great, you look younger, s far as the difference in picture, you dont look like you put on weight. SO KEEP GOING!!!!!!! i’ll try and link you this diet book through mail…check it out!
Me:Aww Happy birthday to your brother as well. I will wait for your e-book
I prefer the pic with the bigger smile. Iss roooode to look at waistlines.
Belated Happy Birthday dear
Happy Birthday! I never think about weight and weightloss on my birthday…hee hee.
Also, you do not look like you have put on weight. You do NOT look past 30 at all. I am getting there but already look older.
Happy Birthday!
The slim pants in the newer pic look great! Actually, YOU look great!
(Belated) Happy B’day again!
Have not caught up on earlier posts, but Happy Birthday
The thirties rock.
You don’t look like you need to lose weight at all. But if you are trying to – then I hope you reach your goal soon. You look pretty in both outfits really (IMHO)
Priya.
Happy birthday. You don’t look thirty anything! I’m most impressed with your fitness routine-I’m sure you’ll get back to it soon. Have lurked often, may have commented earlier.
I’m embarking on a weight-loss mission myself before July 12th and boy, oh, boy has it been hard!!
Love your blog.
happy birthday too you! As far as I am concerned you look great in both pics
Don’t worry! It’s your birthday and you have come so far in your weight loss, so if you gain back a couple of lbs with the move and adjustment it’s not a big deal. My two cents…both of your pics look REALLy similar…can’t really tell the difference! (I’m sure you can though!).
Go have a yummy drink that makes you all tingly…heck have two, one for me…I can’t wait until I get this pumping business over with and can drink again! Happy 31st!
Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you figure out a way to fit a workout into your day. When you do, tell me too!
Happy Birthday ! Followed a link from Sue and am most impressed with the plants
happy birthday!!
you look thinner in the last night pic if anything.
breaks from work-outs are good things, really. it works real well in re-motivating you, and, you can always up the pace when you get back to the routine!
Hellow! Happy thirty-one! Did you ever think you would be 31 when you were 13?
Puh-leez, I think you don’t need to worry abt weight loss…
Belated heppy burday!
Hey Happy Birthday!!
And I agree with all the comments above.You look nothing close to 31 or a mommy of 4 for that matter
Cheers!

You look fantastic! Happy Belated Birthday!
Belated happy birthday! And you have started to look really really good!
Just tell me how can I lose these extra 6 kilos without doing away with the food
Dude- this is a little late, I realize but not been blogging lately. Well, good thing for me, good wishes dont really go out of fashion…so here’s wishing you a brilliant year ahead!
btw, what’s the Crocs count now?
You have 4 adorable kids at 31?? Extremely smart- i can envision a cool mom banner, late night partying when people around you are getting a diaper education- ok maybe i should stop right there, considering i might be in the above described camp.
Me:I popped them out young. rofl We just got 6 new ones…:)
