Well started 16 days ago… this is day 16… and… drum roll pleaseeeee… down 16 pounds!!! SOO excited … was ready to quit after the first week… but … found some good recipes, and decided to stick it out… and now i feel so much better… my hunger cravings are gone…. and i love seeing the results! I’m sure some of you are saying that is not healthy… but if you read “Pounds and Inches” that the Dr. wrote before you judge me, i think you will see how it all works. Hoping that there are some more of you out there trying it!! Would love to chat

Are you kidding me??!! i am 3.5 weeks into my ‘diet’ … so started exercising this week (monday) … usually weigh in on Sundays BUT was feeling so good this week, thought i would see where i was…. UP FOUR POUNDS!!! are you kidding mee!!??  GRRRRRRRRRRRR…. BUT i am in it for the long run until i lose what i want… so i will forget about it (NOT) but will try, and move on, keep exercising, stick to my eating plan,, and i KNOW it has to come off eventually!!

Wow, cant believe it has been over a year that i have wrote on this… and yup still same ole same ole, except that i am now 3 weeks into my ‘healthy eating’ and have lost 12 pounds… which brings me down to what my weight tracker says .. lol .. oh well didnt need to change it … today i start the slim in 6 program, so im excited, it is hard, but i need to exercise also if i want to speed my weight loss up… hubby still hasnt noticed that i have lost weight, so i want to lose another ten pounds, and if he doesnt notice but then,, then im telling him!! ha.   anyways, Zhara is sleeping so exercise time… 

I am so excited…. ! i really didnt expect to lose anything this week…. with my cookie delema,  my icecream binge…  but i did it!  Guess it was all the other good choices that i made…  really helps me to stick to it when i see progress!  Added the ‘Fat Burners’  tab… think that will help me keep track of daily exercise, but just started that …

Plus i got in all my water today!

Wow day 5 already… honest questions to myself  –> have a done good? stuck to what i wanted to do? exercised every day? — hmm no, a slight disappoint in myself — the other night both the girls were crying, i was trying to give them a bath cause it was so hot out, they’re both screaming there heads off cause they were over tired, then a spider jumped out and tried to attack my foot (no joke!), hubby wasnt helping at all… i was tired, hungry, blah blah… so finallllly got them put to bed, and what did i do??  NO, not go for a run to blow off steam and feel better, thankyou to those ppl with some faith in me that might have done that…………..  i sat down and ate a big bowl of icecream, with peanuts, chocolate chips and banana on it !!!! have to admit it was really good,…. but as you all know, you feel disappointed in your self cause YOU KNOW you could have made a better call on that one!!!   the jog probably would have put me in a better mood….  but WHY oh WHY does have to make u feel good to… well at least while its going down…

A n y w a y s … thats my sob story for today….  but i promise myself that i will make a better decision next time im feeling stressed out and at my wits end !

Oh and thanks to those ppl with the ideas for exercising with small children around !

AHH …  ok so i made some chocolate chip cookies on Sunday… bad decision… but i had stuff to make them and thought it would be nice for hubby and kids….  sigh sigh … of course i cant stay away from them and then hubby asked me if i had been eating them and i said ‘a couple’ haha he said more than a couple your in denial!!  which is true i did eat more than a couple and maybe i am in denial but wasnt going to admit that to him  ‘mr. thin, eat what i want and not have a prob”  (although i did tell him hes getting a small beer belly hehe)  anywayssss  i get so mad at myself when i eat what i really dont want to eat, but they’re so good?!?!  i just cant make stuff i dont want to eat, thats the bottom line, dont have the self control YET so i just cant have it in the house!

Well ill be writing tonight to record how my day went… maybe that will help, having to write an account on what i did today…

Oh yeah… another prob being having…  i get the baby to sleep, savana watching a favorite dvd, get myself mentally prepared for exercising and get one minute into it, and the baby wakes up!  happens everrrrry time, like she knows i need to be busy for 20 mins ! lol …   oh welllll.. ill figure something out ! haha

Its been a long year….  soon after my last post i found out i was preg…  good & bad… it wasn’t planned so thats the bad part, but a sister for savana is the good

I was really sick at the beginning and crackers just wouldnt cut it, needed to eat something substantial and every couple of hours so of course my weight starting creeping up …  wouldnt let them tell me how much i weighed the whole preg. until i had to know when i was in labour so i could get the epidural lol ….  207!  ekk …  but hey some was baby weight right???

Well now im at my 6 week post partum… so stepped on the scale today….   175….  so i guess not as bad as i thought !  started exercising and eating good….  sooooo tired of battling this weight just want to stick to it and get there!!!   (oh and i did get my tubes tied… hehe.. no more surprises… )

So i didnt forget about everyone on here and the encouragements that everyone has had for me….   hopefully you guys have all done good this past year!!!!

Well i have been sooo busy that i havent even been on here!!  i need to clone myself, or get more hours into a day… something !! between work, starting my business, caring for my baby, running the house, getting the garden ready, starting to stack wood for next winter (No!!) , trying to get in some exercise, grocery shopping, trying to EAT right, trying to cook right… and the list goes on and on and on… but i guess thats what us women do!!  but i’m trying not to stress… (yeah right..)  and summer is getting closer and closer, and i really wanted to get to some of my goals by the end of May… actually i wanted to Reach my final goal by the end of May…. hmmmm dont think i’m going to get that far…. but i want to at least reach SOME goal… so thats my goal … stay possitive.. and reach a mini goal….

Sorry Julie! didnt reach my April 23 goal! but hey its an other new day… so only forward i go… i really like the food journal so i need to get into using that again.. it helps !! for me anyways…

Well i’m off and running again!

Until this week…!!  Its obviously about a week before the great ‘time of the month’  because i’m starving!!  ~ why why why …! … ok i’m trying to stay away from the junky food, i have my salad made for today and tomorrow, my veggies cut up,… i’m trying to be prepared to reach for the ‘good’ stuff when i’m feeling hungry instead of the doritos sitting on my table , and the icecream in the freezer, and the cookies in the cubard!!   i am definetly going to go and buy those sugarfree fudgesickles!! (thanks for the idea girls!) cause those will be great for the chocolate hit that i know i am going to need!!

I think i need to plan to get out of the house ! that will help… because right now everything is calling my name!  But i’ll stick it out… i know i can !

Lou had a great saying and i wrote it out in really big letters and stuck it on my fridge “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels” !

Well it has been an alright week so far… could be better though, but i guess i have the remainder of the week to do better… I do REALLY well during the day, i eat my snacks, make a healthy breakfast, healthy lunch, but it just seems that i want to fall apart around dinner… i just feel like i’m starving by 4 o’clock!! i think i need to have a bit bigger snack in the afternoon…   and then after dinner, around 7 or 8 my sweet tooth attacks!!   its horrible!  i gave in last night and had a cookie…. i know one cookie isnt too too bad,, but i was disappointed in myself, since i only want to use one day a week to have something “bad” ….  and i want that for the weekend …. 

So not sure how to overcome this obstacle….. my aunt suggested buying the fat-free chocolate pudding, guess that is on weight watchers…  and even put the fat -free whipped topping on it…… but that just seems so Bad ??  but she said its alright, and it really helps with the sweet tooth….   soooo…. i might try it….     if any one else has any other suggestions ???

Its still cold here… it snowed again last night… hate hate hate it…. i know i’m always b*ching about it but i asked my hubby if we could move somewhere warm!?!   …. guess that wont happen, but its just very depressing to me…

Well guess i’ll go, its exercising time…. hopefully that will make me feel better ….
