I am feeling so domestic and all family-ish this weekend. I really hope that this little break leaves me good and motivated for my run on Monday morning. Anyway, I made banana pancakes with a banana nut topping this morning for the fam. Then we went out and bought a few things so that I can start on the kids’ halloween costumes. Having four kids, I love to have them all dress up in the same theme. So one year they were the big bad wolf and the three little pigs. One year they were the cast of scooby doo (shaggy, scooby, velma, and daphne). Last year, they were the peanut butter and jelly sandwich (two were bread, one peanut butter and one jelly). The three youngest are all the same size right now because my 7 year old is the size of a 5 year old. So being the same size and having a tall lanky sister, I thought it would be cute if they would be Oompa Loompas and the oldest will be Willy Wonka. So I went all tiny2b and got out my sewing machine and got to work on the Willy Wonka costume. Then I ordered some green wigs and stuff for the Oompa Loompas. So it has been a nice relaxing weekend. If I was in the middle of a good book and it would have rained more today, it would have been just about perfect.
The belly fat thing…what I found online was this “When lying down, menopot fat will fall to the side while visceral fat will stay raised”. Menopot fat is apparently the “pinch an inch” fat that is in front of the abdominal muscles. The visceral stuff is what they say is bad for heart health.
