ALL THIS RAIN

And cold weather is making me feel like a cooped up animal. I want to walk outside. Yesterday I spent all day running around. We got paid, so i did the grocery shopping, picked up all the things daniel wanted for his first box, pillow, pillow cases, mattresspad etc etc. Then I came home unpacked all the cold stuff and bought a calling card to call D. talked to him for about 30 mins yay! Then headed to the post office. It cost me over 52 dollars to send him his box wowzers. So now i'm just here.... lol I've made some new goals for the next week. EAT WHAT I BOUGHT AT THE STORE lol and keep working out.

Its my goal dress for sept. Thats when Daniel has asked for R&R I can't wait!!!!!!! I want in this dress and I'm going to get in it by then. I thought since i was challenging myself this week I should give myself a super challenge as well. WISH ME LUCK LOL

Why is it

That the only weight i lose all month is during the week when I would think i should show a gain. I stay the same all month and the only time i lose all month is during that "week" I don't understand. But on to the good news DOWN TO @#% OK LOL THATS SUPPOSE TO SAY 235 HAHA! So excited 35 more lbs to first goal. Then we'll see how things are and readjust goal and go from there. Woke up to thunder and lightening this morning. Gonna have to drive Hailee to school. Oh did i mention it was 85 yesterday and then now its 45 this morning brrrr.

Glad I decided

To walk yesterday afternoon as well as the morning and I walked hailee to school this morning because  of course now its raining. I am feeling good. I have on the shirt today that I started this journey in. You can see it in my photos the brown shirt with pink stripes. It is roomy. Its a testament to how far I've come. I can't wait to see what its like when I get to my first goal. I just want to be able to toss it out haha because its way to big. I mean i love the shirt but i love to hate it too haha.
 
Stuck to plan yesterday and working on it today.

yesterday was good

Ate well all day and got on the elliptical when usually on the weekend I'll skip it. So thats a big woot woot. Now today I am going to walk the daughter to school this morning and then come home and clean house extensively I swear the house can not stay clean for more then 5 mins. I need to go send Daniel's first package off too :) haven't gotten much for it but hopefully he'll like it.

Sexy

So the title is because I took some pics and sent to the husband at his request. The next morning he got online and was like I love this pic of you. You look so beautiful and sexy. Can you edit it for me? it was a sexy pic so he wanted my booty edited out so no one else could see it. So I did and yea he's still talking about it. He got on yesterday in the afternoon and was like I just love that pic your hair and makeup everything your just so sexy. AHHHHHH I LOVE IT! I CAN"T remember the last time he said that to me! So today he gets online and he's like everyone here likes you pic hehe. I was like how did they see it he's like i made sure just about everyone in the tent has seen it haha. That feels so good. Like I can't describe how good it feels. So I haven't lost any weight but I see changes in my meat apron and one side of my back lol so that makes me feel good. I'm not gaining so thats good. I'm just impatient haha. It'll happen.
 
I'm spending all week on the Kick ass challenge or staying on plan. Exercise everyday and eating right! I'm feeling better today then I have felt in a long time!
 
And last I leave you with the pic my hubby finds so sexy lol

UGH GAW

My bedroom window is broken and I have no idea how it happened. I can just imagine what housing will say about that. I have pushed the kids to school twice this week. Makes me feel good to get out walking again. I don't mind the elliptical but its not like being outside where you can see the progress your making. I had to give it up for a bit because I had broken yet another stroller. Yes I am terrible on them and there is a huge possiblity lol that my children are too large for strollers but my youngest is such a terror I would never be able to walk with out it. I bought a new (used) one this week so yea. This one is a side by side one not sure yet how i feel about it the kids seem to like it no fighting over who gets to sit where so that makes mom happy.

i don't want a title

Gotta stop getting on the scale every day its become an obsession and its not helping because it never really changes it up its down its always right around the same number. Yay for it almost being friday I'm excited. Its been awhile since I was excited not that I have anything special planned more then likely just stay home with the kids but thats alright. Hails is excited because after this week she has one more week of school before spring break. she has no idea what spring break is haha but she's excited about it. Its suppose to be fairly nice outside this morning I think I might try out the stroller I bought and walk the kids to school today.

Its that week

Ya know the one.... where you want to eat everything in site more then you do any other time. UGH! I do have errands to run today so that should keep me busy for most of the day. I'm just so tired of having to fight myself haha sounds stupid but I feel like I battle my subconcious everyday. Somedays it wins somedays I win. I want to win everyday but it just doesn't work that way.

Pride in my imperfections

 
Leo (7/23-8/22)

Have pride in your imperfections and show the world that you are a work in progress.

 

Thats me a work in progress I would feel more like there was progress if i would lose lol but I can do it. least I'm not gaining right.Thanks to some advice from a very smart person I've met recently I've come to realize I have to start finding myself again. Get to know me, put myself on the priority list.

I talked to my husband yesterday for an hour. He thought of me when he was out shopping in a Hodge shop and bought me a Corel Suite Disc full of programs I've been dying to get my hands on and an Adobe indesign cs3 disc so I can work on scripting my webpages better :) Its nice to be thought of every once in a while.

PS: 20 min on the elliptical today YAY me.... I can't believe a couple weeks ago I could only do a couple mins straight!
