long weekend....
I knew I would have a long weekend but boy was that and understatement, we had family visit over the weekend and I kept my nephew all weekend. I just felt like I never stopped. I really do not like weekends like that. I also cannot tell you what I ate, I know I did not do horrible but I also know I did not do as good as I could have. I planned on heading to the gym first thing this AM but I woke up with a eye infection.. or something of the sort. I am hoping it clears up quickly. Right now just wanting to go back to bed until my eye is not longer red and oozing some god awful green stuff...I know way to much info but it is what it is. The revised plan is for my eye to be clear and I will go run when my husband gets home from work this afternoon. Here is to hoping the eye clears up as fast as it got nasty... thanks for reading...

bad day
today was a bad day... i did not sleep well last night and had to get up early and just felt exhausted all day. I did manage to make it to the gym but felt horrible the whole time and I was hoping the work out would turn the corner for me, but it did not after working out I just wanted to go to bed. My head has hurt since then and I cannot wait for the kiddos to head off to bed so I can go to bed. I would like to say this weekend will be a break but nope we are going all weekend and my nephew will be staying over with my son, so it will be loud late nights. Here is to hoping you all have a great weekend... looking forward to seeing the scale down on Monday...Me

Nice day
Today was a good day nothing major happened which is a good thing. I made it to the gym ran 30 min, walked to get son from school, and did crunches. I ate good and drank tons of water. I am not sure if I am going to the gym tomorrow or not, I have planned on taking Wed. off but might go and get in a little more cardio... we shall see... until next time~Me

5lbs down
Today was not exactly as I had planned. I planned on heading to the gym after dropping son off at school. But my daughter had other plans last night she woke up and was not feeling well, she is cutting teeth so I was up with her until like 3. It stunk cause she woke up just as I was going to bed so I was exhausted this AM. Thank goodness my husband is off work today so he got son up and off to school and I slept in until 8. Which felt really good(gotta remember to thank him for that). So now my day was off to a delayed start and I was not sure I was going to make it to the gym which totally had me mad at myself. Soo the more I thought about it I came to the realization that I can go to the gym at any time of the day remember husband is home.... So my husband had a few errands to run in town so i had him drop me off at the gym and he took our daughter with him(i know he is awesome). I knew my time was limited since I figured he would not be super long so I had to make the best of the time I had.... I started running thinking I would not make it past 5 minutes well I blew myself away I ran for not 10 but 20 minutes without stopping I did have one moment when I though I cannot do this... but I did. I ran 20 minutes at a 4.4 MPH pace... I know not super fast but I have not ran 20min in well years... I AM SO GLAD I WENT TO THE GYM!!! My husband did return shortly after I finished the 30min total on treadmill and then we returned home just in time to walk to my sons school to get him. Well that is where I am now... legs feeling like jiggle jello but very proud.. until next time~Me

Day off
Not what you are thinking it was a day off my normal hectic schedule. My husband was working so I decided to stay home with the two kiddos and just hang out. We stayed in our PJs all day, my six year old son was so excited about that at the end of the day. I did really well as far as eating today and drank tons of water. I am excited about my weigh in tomorrow and hope the scale reflects my changes, I am not expecting anything huge just a pound would be great I have only been doing this 4 days. I am also so happy I found this site it gives me a place to just put the diet stuff out there. My husband will listen all day but he thinks Just do it, go to the gym and work out and the weight will come off. He is not mean about it that is just how it is for him, he works out for a week and loses five pounds. So totally unfair. Well Thanks everyone for all the support and comments... Until Tomorrow~Me

1st weekend
Today was crazy busy, started first thing. My son had a soccer game so I did make sure I ate breakfast and headed out with two huge bottles of water. My son did awesome in his game scored a goal and everything. Then we headed home for my daughter to nap and for me to do the household duties that have to be done. I then met some of my family at a mexican resturant and I totally did awesome with my food choice, I ate a salad and only had a couple of the chips they give you to fill up on while you are waiting, that is awesome for me cause I usually eat a basket by myself.... Went shopping with the kiddos in tow did not purchase anything did alot of when I lose weight that will so look awesome on me... well that is all for now.... until next time~Me

To eat or not eat Breakfast
So I have always been told by many different people that I need to eat breakfast that it is really important for too many reasons to list here. So that is one change I am making on this journey I will eat breakfast because that is what is best for me. So today is my second day eating breakfast and I must say I do feel more energized not sure if it is the breakfast or that my doc upped my thyroid meds either way I felt really good today and hope that I continue to feel this way and to be motivated. Until next time ~Me

Today is the beginning
Today I have decided to begin my journey to finally end my battle of the bulge!!! I am confident that I can do this and can tell you with confidence that I will have set backs. I will also have highs and lows. I am not going on this journey alone I was prescribed by my Dr. a med called phentermine, I both excited and disappointed by taking this meds. I am disappointed in myself for not being able to do it alone but excited about this med because I was looking at more drastic measures(surgery) because I am fed up. I am tired of the yo-yo dieting and all the other effects the weight is having on my life. I plan on weighing in once a week, I will go to the gym , and of course watch my calorie intake. I would love to be down to my goal weight by this time next year. In the mean time I would like to be down 60 lbs by next may for our family vacation. Until next time~Me
