Damn...
I got about halfway through my google reader and now I can no longer comment on blogs just like on Monday. Sorry guys. So everyone from the I's to the Z's--- I'm sorry. I will try again tomorrow!
I have something interesting to share with you but too tired to type right now. Baby has been so clingy and crying so much because she's sick. I can hardly find time to go to the bathroom to pee!
Until tomorrow...

Well, I'm shocked. I'm down .8lbs. It's not a great loss but it is a loss and I'm shocked. I have no idea why as there has been no exercise and I had ALL my points.
lol.
Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I had every intention but I was trying to catch up on blogs. On monday I don't know if it was EP or my internet explorer but none of the blogs would load for me to comment on.
What did you guys think of TBL? I didn't cry for the first time. Trent seems like a good guy and I think he will do well outside the show. Man, my boyfriend Bob sure looked PISSED.
So the weather outside is beginning to look like spring outside. This is wonderful news. In another 10-15 degrees I can start taking the baby out. This ALSO means the roads are clear and I can return to the WW meetings on Wednesday afternoons. In fact I could go today but my daughter is really, really sick. I will get to that in a minute. I feel I really need to be at meetings. They were the key to my success before (along with not going over my points, duh).
Thank you all for your well wishes for Ciara. I got her to the dr. and she has the RSV virus. Very contagious. It can turn into pnuemonia and then she would have to hosptialized. So I'm really watching her and she is on antibiotics. What is so scary is she can't breathe at all. I'm so scared for her to sleep. 
Anyways, I have another chiro appt. today. However, if my check isn't in the mail this morning I will have to cancel my appt. 
I will check on you all this afternoon!

Monday...
Well, what a crappy start to this week!!!! DD is sick, really sick. She has a fever, is so congested that she can hardly breathe, and has a cough that sounds croupy. She's just about to turn 16 months old so I really worry about her. Needless to say, I'm not going to work but it takes so much energy out of you taking care of this sick baby.
I went to the Chiropractor AGAIN today. I am getting better but he told me that it is IMPERATIVE that I wear a support belt. YAY, I'm 25 and get to wear a support belt. Should I add a girdle as well? Precious is calling me "Pelvis Elvis". Thank you Precious for the laugh--- oh that hurts. lol. At least the support belt kind of gives me a waist. 
I have to back again on Wednesday.
Damn, I am BROKE!
I think I have $2 in my wallet. 
I don't want to WI on Wednesday. I don't feel I have done as well eating wise I should have and no zero evercise --- well--- I just don't wanna! 
We will see when Wednesday gets here.
Finished my taxes
I want a treadmill soooooo bad.
Peace out my peeps!

I'm Off!
Hubby releived me at work! Thank goodness because I'm hurting really bad. But don't worry, I'm doing my stretches.
I'm previewing this movie right now called "Why Did I Get Married" with Janet Jackson. This woman is on a plane and the plane is full. She's overweight and they made her get off because she wouldn't purchase a second seat. The look on her face said everything. It just made my heart sink for her. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there. The movie comes out Tuesday.
My eating is "okay". I should be doing better since cardio is out of the question at the moment. I will get through this!
Today was the first day we had any kind of sign of Spring! I'M SO EXCITED. That means I can get back outside and start running again (pelvis permitting...lol). It was 45 degrees! lol. I know you Floridians are laughing at me! That's seriously the warmest it's been in MONTHS!
I'm in pretty good spirits right now--- I don't know why but I am!
I really LOVE all of you. You are my support system as I have NO friends here in my small town. All my friends live 300 miles away. I've tried to make friends but there isn't anyone here I can really relate too. So THANKS to all of you. I've made some great friends and some new friends!

Weekend...
I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend. Mine is boring! I had to work today and will probably have to work tomorrow too unless hubby wants to work for me.
We have an appt. to get our taxes done tomorrow. I know we will get some money back but not as good as last year. Last year I bought my elliptical. I would have loved to incorporated a treadmill this year but with nowhere to put it --- it's just not practical. Unfortunately this entire return will go to medical bills and one credit card I just need to get rid of.
I went to the chiro as you all know for the 3rd time this week yesterday. I'm still in pain today. I did my stretching exercises he gave me but I feel that my pelvis has slipped back out or is slipping out. I have to make it to monday. This sucks! Especially chasing my almost 16month old!
I have SEVEN movies to preview before they come out next tuesday. EEK! Wish I could get some cardio in. Oh, I miss Bob!
If anyone has a chance please give a shout out to Guinnessgirl! She REALLY needs us right now guys!

Awwww...
You all are so very sweet. I got an amazing response from my picture and I'm stunned. Looking at the picture-- yes I think I looked good. That was 6 years ago and I have been through A LOT since then. I feel like I've really aged. YOU ALL ARE SO WONDERFUL AND SWEET.... I LOVE YOU GUYS!
So I just visited the Chiropractor for the 3rd time this week. I wasn't supposed to go back until monday unless my hip went out again. (I was just there yesterday). I was in so much pain again today I just wanted to throw up. He got me in again and of course my hip and gone back out since yesterday. He's worried about my "stability" issues. He's given me stretches to do to strenghten those muscles. I can't do any cardio. He says I may have to wear some kind of support belt. Yay, just what I want. Point is I'm too young to have this happen. I don't understand.
My next appt. is monday. This is breaking my bank as I have no health insurance and I have to pay for every office visit in full. The dr. knows this and is trying to be easy on me but I've already spent $200 this week-- all of my paycheck. I have another appt. monday. 
I'm down I can't really exercise. But I guess I'll just really have to watch my food.
Love you guys!

Picture...
So I'm going to add a picture of me from the day I got married. I look at the picture now and can't beleive how thin (for me) I looked. I didn't look overweight--- for once. In this picture I'm about 13 pounds over the goal weight I've posted on here. Even if I never reach the goal I've posted here I would be happy at the weight I was in the picture.

Well, just as I thought. Up 1lb. Thank God it was only a pound. lol.
I did treat myself this morning. Remember those homemade cinnamon rolls I posted about a few weeks back? Well, I've been wanting one for so long I went ahead and had one. Now it's out of my system and I can probably go another couple of years without! lol.
Angel has informed me that I'm going to have to fight her for Bob. Thank goodness she's in Canada!!! LOL.

TBL...
Can we say I'm bawling my eyes out again???!!! Can you beleive Brittany lost 10 freaking lbs????!!! I was so happy for her. Yay black team! Poor Bob--- I could make it up to him...

LOL.
I can expect a gain tomorrow. I'm trying not to get down about it and just deal with it. You guys are all so wonderful. I logged in tonight and so that I had so many comments on my last comment. Now I know you love me!
I have to go back to the chiro again tomorrow and I have managed to put my pelvis back out again. I know it's just because my muscles aren't strong enough to keep it in place. So all I did tonight was my BL power sculpt dvd. It was light enough that I wasn't in too much pain. I didn't feel great but I did it. 
I love you guys!

Oh My Back....
my neck and my back! lol. (Anyone remember Friday?)
I finally went to the chiro today. My PELVIS was out. Talk about pain. As was 2 of my ribs, my neck, and my jaw. I was in pretty bad shape. I have to go back on wednesday and we are going to work on some exercises to help those muscles get stronger so I don't keep having this problem. He said I'm too young for my pelvis to be going out and having this much pain. This problem started when I was 13 and for no apparent reason. He understand my financial concern because I have no health insurance so he didn't do x-rays today but may have to. I've never had them and it wouldn't hurt. My eldest sister had scoliosis (sp?). I'm sore which I knew I would be after that adjustment. He also said that my chest size is contributing to my shoulder and neck pain. There isn't much I can do about that except get this weight off.
My husband found one of our photos from when we got married. OMG, I can't beleive how thin I was. I mean, I still wasn't even close to my goal weight on here but I looked good. I will have to try and scan it and post it. I'm guessing I probably weighed about 137 or 138 in it. I still wasn't happy with my body at the time but I should have been grateful. I also don't know what it is that I'm doing differently then back then. Hell, I ate junk and didn't exercise regularly. Who knows.
I was going to exercise tonight but Im pretty sore after my adjustment and my head is absolutely splitting. I will probably see a gain this week at WI. I won't be happy about that but what happens, happens. 
I love you all!
