Weigh-In Week 30

150.2

208.8

The man lost 2lbs and I lost about 4lbs which is surprising because I was just expecting another 2lb loss because that has been my normal pattern. Then you have to ask where the h#!! did that weight come off of because I still see fat lol So help me if it came off my boobs I am going to be pissed. just kidding. Either way it is nice to see that number come down.

I hope everyone had a happy holiday!!

Santa was kind to us even though he didnt bring my 145

no worries! LOL

I put on my pre-preggers jeans today and I would be bad if I didnt say how hot I look.

Maybe not but hey its a step in the right direction

(I really do feel hot)

I started a new pill to help with my depression yada yada

(the other one was affecting my sleep which is no bueno)

and it has made me quite nauseous

probably because the old one wasnt out of my system yet

I cant handle nausea feelings

I just throw up to get it over with

My kids got a whole bunch of make-up for Christmas

Is it bad that it is almost all gone from them reapplying it all day every day?

Thank goodness they are cute!

And happy!!

My little man got a guitar for Christmas and he has been rocking it

along with his sister's Ariel necklace

He really is the cutest kid ever!!

My mind really has been blank so forgive me if I dont blog for a while

I am trying to get ready for my 365 Days of What?! project

(I will not be a quitter)

And also recuperate from the holidays

Happy New Year to you all!!

This no sugar is kicking my A$$!

Did I mention I am on my period?

Did I mention that I am not a happy person on my period?

Did I mention that sugar makes me happy?

Of course not.

Day two and I am going strong with no cookies no sweets of any kind

So glad I am only doing this for a week because I would be going crazy!

I was really wanting some sugar earlier

because I was an angry hormonal woman

but then I drank some milk and it is amazing how sweet it tasted

almost drank the whole gallon.

The next week without I am going to choose something that is not food

but I have no idea what to choose.

Any ideas?!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I have been working out in the morning and my legs have been killing me.

Slim in 6 really works to get you slim. lol

I have also been walking again which is good because I have been so lazy

hopefully it will get me out of these stupid 160's

How is everyone doing on their weight-loss?

Are you taking the holidays off or pushing forward?

Weigh-In, Doing without?, Giveaway

209.6 for the man

160.0 for me

measurements will be updated on the side bar

I was doing so good yesterday in my eating. I had a smoothie for breakfast, exercised on the wii fit with me liv-ster and even had a sensible lunch. It started going down hill when we didnt eat dinner before six and had to go into town which was an hour away. What time did we get to eat you ask. We ate at 9:30pm on our drive home getting food from Wendy's. I know you can get healthy choices and eat light but I so did not do that. I was grumpy and frumpy and dammit I wanted a french fry. Side note: they have really yummy french fries with sea salt. YUM! but dont let me tempt you.

Which leads me into my next big excitement. I have decided each new week, Monday to Monday, I am going to do without something or do something daily. I am going to NEED YOUR help because I wont be able to think of these things on my own.

So far I have done a week without Facebook and this week I am doing without sugar, Drazil inspired me. When I say sugar I mean: cookies, cakes, ice cream and any other sweet treat. Pretty much everything in my kitchen at the moment. Two days have come and gone and I am still going strong. It is kind of nice to test your strength.

Dont forget to enter my giveaway!!

the only requirement is to follow my blog

Update

I decided to forgo the challenge for the Get Fit for Christmas contest. The idea behind it is awesome but the energy and determination it takes to do it has not been there. Plus, although I think watching your weight during the holidays is important, for me it is not priority. I want to focus on family and that is what these last few months need to be.

To keep me on track my husband and I have challenged each other to move and lose weight. So far we haven't done the best but its a work in progress. My goal for this holiday is to maintain my weight if not lose more.

Weigh-ins are still Tuesday morning(another reason I had a difficult time with the challenge is it through me off because weigh-ins were fridays. it is all a mental thing, i know i am crazy) and this next Tuesday I will post updated measurements.

Week 23: 158.6
Week 24: 160.6
eek!! not the 160's again

These pictures make me laugh because it is a picture of our legs and it makes me think naughty thoughts. When it was just me all I thought was weight. Just another reason to get the man on board. ;)

hubby's weighin

Week 1: 207.6lbs
Week 2: 209.6lbs

Weighing in was exciting for the man because he thought he was around 215lbs but to find he was lower than that was a plus.

Stay tuned: Monday I am going to host my first give away titled Pay It Forward!

Weigh-In Week 22

160.0

My picture is kind of blurry, sorry about that
Do to a grease covered baby finding the camera and wanting to take a picture of me cleaning up the mess. lol while he was still covered in grease. ick!

I got a happy pill and so far I am still getting used to it. It makes me super sleepy and gives me headaches. Actually I dont know if the headaches are pill induced or if they are cookie induced but either way the headaches are there. I do feel like they calm me down a little bit. So we shall see how that works out.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Twitter is getting more exciting as there are different motivational people on there with great advice. If I could sit still to read it all that would be great. I found someone doing a challenge over this holiday season starting November 19th ending December 24th. I know what you are thinking, a challenge over the biggest eating season of the year, I have to be nuts. hahahaha I am excited for it and it will keep me in check.

Go check it out

Get Fit for the Holidays

Weigh-In Week 21

159.6

This weeks weight loss has to do with getting out and exercising and also catching up with Amy. LOL Seriously, she is doing amazing and I am so proud of her even though I only know her through blogland. You can eat the healthiest food ever but without movement you wont lose that much. My craziness slowed down a bit to where I was able to exercise. Exvercise I did for this week was walking with some jogging intervals and the Biggest Loser Wii. Planks are killer and I think that is Bob's favorite exercise. Stilettos also gave me a great workout. A day of stilettos equals burning calves.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I am on twitter but I dont see what the excitement is. No one hardly talks or updates on it. Maybe I need to follow more people. HAHAHA! My Twitter info is on the side bar ------->

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I bought oreos to celebrate my weight loss today but I find myself not int the mood to eat them. RUDE!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Soda has creeped its way back into my life and it needs to stop. We have the two-liter bottles in our fridge and I tend to go take sips every time I walk by. I mean it cant be bad if its just little sips here and there, right?!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

GIVE AWAY!!!

Charlie is having a give away at her blog and I will be darned if I dont at least try for it. Who cares if she has a bazillion followers I am going to try. Go to her blog to see the details but they are giving away a gift certificate to Mint Julep Monograms. The best part is they have aprons, which if you read my post earlier is on my wish list. So go enter to win!!!

Here's to a new week, yee-spankin-haw!! ;)

Week 20 Weigh-In

163.2

Thanks to this lovely sight I gained weight. Actually it wasnt the candy at all, it was the cake we won at the cake walk and I am sad to say that I ate all 8 by 8 of it. What can I say?! I was craving cake. lol

Now instead of candy being in this lovely jar I have filled it with apples yet again to get me on the happy path but I feel my visitor coming so wish me luck

Week 19 Weigh In

162.2

This week was so hard because I was aching for some of these yummy treats
click on the quote if you dare. I didnt want to post the picture because then you all would want some and I am not like that. No temptations here.
This is me scaring you into shape. LOL
Really it is me after my walk.
Sunshine is so good for the soul so get out there
and get your booty in gear.

I am so freakin excited for my sister to come into town tonight!!
She is going to cut my hair.
I am nervous and excited all at the same time.
I will post pictures.

This weekend we are going to Arizona and I am so pumped to see family and friends.
Worried that I might go hog wild on all the yummy food and not get to work out as much
But if I plan now, all will be possible

Weign-In Week 18

164.8

Yesterdays weighin! Yay! I'm back to where I was.
Still chugging a long with my water and apples and a few other choice foods.
Everyday is a new day.
Thanks everyone for the kind words I know we all do different plans different diets different strategies to get ourselves healthy and really we just need to do whats best for ourselves
Thanks again for kind words

And just because he is cute, here is the little cowboy in our makeshift stroller.

The straps broke so we had to improvise.

i hope to post progress pictures and measurements tonight
keep our fingers crossed

Kick that butt!

Seriously I just feel like kicking my butt to get it moving. But even then I dont think it will get much action. hahaha I went walking today and bundled the cowboy up. He didnt last long. Sooner or later I will get a stroller that has tires that dont get flat and a buckle that keeps the little cowboy nestled in his seat.

I have not eaten anything yet, I have drank water but my body is just not hungry. I did eat a little piece of cheese but I felt like I was going to puke. Our bodies are crazy. I think I ate so much while being on the dot that my body is full. hahaha Wouldnt that be good news?! I am going to snack on some almonds.

Yesterday I weighed myself and I came up with 166.0 which isnt bad compared to most days. I know I ate more and I have just been lazy. I am just glad it didnt go to 169.0 because I was stuck there before.

A friend of mine just started the Atkins diet and she lost 28lbs in 3-4 weeks which made me excited for her but also sad that it took me 4 months to lose that much. I just need to keep kicking my butt and moving forward.

Weigh-In Week 16

164.4

I know what you are thinking.
My feet are getting super sexy!!
hahahahahahah
Just dont look at my legs,
they are super hairy.
hahahahahahaha :p

The apple day really helped me yesterday.
It helped my body.
It helped my mind.
And now I know I am back on track.

Weigh-In Week 15

169.0
It has been a crazy week with balls and funerals and shopping. Lots of shopping I should say. The charity dinner went well and I found a beautiful black dress that a friend let me borrow for the night. It was truly amazing.

After this weigh0in I kind of got crazy which I usually do. I had an eat day where I ate Chester's Fries and cookies all day. Seriously that is what I ate. It was pretty sick. I still get enough of those Chester's Fries and I just need to throw them away or give them to the kids because they are seriously giving me the runs. How is that for juicy details hahahahaha Life is crazy and exciting all the same.

Weigh - In Week 14

168.8
i am liking that number.

Look at me in all my hotness!

Ok so maybe not but hey it is getting there right!!

Will post measurements tomorrow night, this week has been super busy!

Weigh-In Week 13

170.6
(sorry no picture the battery died lol)

I am surprised that I lost anything.
After finishing the VBL I kind of lost all motivation and didnt really control my eatings too much. I even broke my no soda rule and had maybe two or three. (was sober for close to four months) I cant remember. I also had three extra kidlets on top of my four so it was aight. Has anyone else lost their umph or am I just speaking jibberish. I did work outs I just didnt eat the greatest.

I want to give myself a new goal to lose 10 more pounds by October 11th. (would love to lose more but 10lbs is safe to say) That weekend I will be going to my home town and seeing family and friends so I would like to look my best. I am even going to get my hair cut which I am ecstatic about.

How is everyone doing post challenge?

Final VBL Weigh-In

So at the beginning of this VBL challenge I started at 192.4 and I am now at 170.8

To tell you the truth I am still shocked that I let myself get to that lazy stage and almost get to 200lbs. Now I am not saying that is bad and I hope I dont offend anyone but for me and my body that is just too big. I really think we need to get to that point and say this is really not healthy. I appreciate Katy for starting this challenge so I can get to that point. I look forward to more weigh-ins and losing this weight.

Weigh-In Week 11

My weight stayed the same this week which I am not really complaining about. I would rather it stay the same then go up. We have one more week of the VBL and you would think I would be more motivated but now that the kidlets are in school and I am waking up earlier I find myself tired. It is going to be a wild week. Good luck to everyone!!

Weigh-In Week 10

I have weighed-in but still debating to post it. It has been pretty steady, my weight loss, but this past week was difficult. I couldnt stop eating it. My hubby got oreos and that was a disaster. I am pretty sure I ate half of the bag if not the whole thing. But nobody's perfect especially me. I have been slowly getting back into working out and I am thinking that is partially the reason I have been more hungry.

How did everyone else do for their week?
