Three down one to go

Ok so now that both of my kids have been sick now my husband is sick. He started making trips to the bathroom around 9 oclock last night. Poor guy. Needless to say he is at home in bed today. I guess I am next to be sick. I dont have time to be sick!!! But I have been the one taking care of all three of them so I bet I will end up camped out in the bathroom before the week is over.

The scales say 189.2 this morning. I am tottaly not buying it. I think its because of the whole no eatting thing yesterday. I guess we will see tomorrow. And TOM did show up this morning so....it makes it hard to believe that I lost 1.4 pounds in a day esp on the first day of TOM.

I am planning on having a better day today (lol) I have a meeting in a few hours and hopefully that will make my day go alittle faster. These Tuesday meetings are always busy busy busy!

OK I am off to see what you ladies are up to...I mean down to (lol)!!!

MIA

Sorry I was MIA today ladies. It has been a C-R-A-Z-Y day! My oldest daughter thought it would be fun to start vomitting about 2 oclock this morning. Then she thought it would be fun to do it all over the hardwood floors in the hallway...right outside the bathroom. Of course I am being a smart ass here. I think her and I slept for awhile in the bathroom. She finally quit around 7 this morning...oh did I mention I have to be at work at 8am? So I had about 3 hours sleep last night.

Mondays are REALLY busy for me at work and I had to leave 2 hours early because I had a doctors appointment. By the time I was done at the doctor and got home and cleaned up the mess my darling children left for me today and then went to the gym and then came home and took a shower...well now here I am.

I have not had one bite of food today. It as been so crazy busy that I just have not had a chance to eat. Now its almost 8pm. I've had about 100 oz of water and I am sure I will proby have some more water. But I just dont think I can bring myself to eat dinner at 8pm. I know its not good for me...not eating that is.

So I am off to check on all you wonderful EP ladies. I have got to get over to TATUMSMOMs blog. She is posting an applesauce pancake thing....anyone seen Mizzomama?

OK have a great evening ladies!!!

My beloved COLTS

are done for the year. IMO the Chargers didnt beat us...we beat ourselves. The 3 turn overs were the difference in the game. I am still proud of my boys...Bobby, Dallas, Joey, Reggie, Marv, Jeff, T.J, Peyton...all of em! They will be back next year. GO COLTS!!!

On the weight loss front...I did make it to the gym today. I got up early...yes on a Sunday...and made it to the gym. I figured I didnt get there yesterday so I had better get there today. TOM should be here in a couple days so that will probly mess with my scales for a few days...oh well.

Have a nice evening everyone!!!

Kenucky Fried Chicken

So...yesterday my mother picks up my girls and took them to her house for the night. On the way they stopped at KFC to picked up some dinner. My husband and I went out and had dinner and when we got home he went to bed and I went to the gym. I came home from the gym and took a shower. Then I snuggled down on my couch to watch all the shows I had Tivo'ed during the week. The kids were gone and the DH was in bed. It was like having the house to myself...LOVE IT!!! Then about 1/2 way through Ghost Whisper the phone rings. I looked at the clock and it was 11:20PM. Holy cow noone calls with good news at that time of night. It was my youngest daughter. I guess the popcorn chicken she had from KFC had made her sick...and I think we all know the kind of sick that I am talking about so I will not go into details. She wants to come home. So I get dressed and drive up to Greenwood to go get her.

The entire way home I am praying "Please dont let her throw up in my car!". And lucky for me she didnt. I can handle blood, broken bones, buggies, poop...anything but vomit!!! The second we hit the front door she starts making that sound...you know the one. So I am rushishing her to the bathroom...yeah we made it!

She was pretty pale and under her eyes were dark. I was really getting worried. So I got her a bucket, a wet rag, a sprite and we camped out in her room. She laid in the bed and I laid on her floor. We were up til 5am. The poor girl is such a trooper when it comes to things like this. I would be crying and making all shorts of pittiful noises...not her. She handles her "business" and then acts like its all good.

So like I said about 5am she finally stopped dry heeving. I was SOOOO tired. I feel asleep on her floor. Then at 8am the phones rings. It is my oldest daughter. I know this sounds bad but my first thought was "Please dont let her be sick too...I'm too tired to drive." But thankfully she was just calling to check on her sister.

So I went back to sleep...until almost noon! When I did get up...WOW...that room STUNK!!! So I went into a cleaning mode. I spent the next three hours cleaning and washing everything in sight. Then I showered, went to the grocery store, come home and put away the groceries, went back to Greenwod to pick up my oldest daughter and then came home and ate dinner.

I am now SOOO very tired. I managed to do my crunches for the day (GO FIT GIRLS) but I did not make it to the gym. I am just...tired. So sorry to all of you that I told I was going to the gym today...I lied.

I hope you ladies are having a nice weekend...someone should be (lol)...talk soon girlies!!!

Clarifications!!!

Oh boy...I guess I didnt explain fully the situation with the letter. You see the whole point to me saying that my brother in law was there before I left to go skating was because HE wrote me the letter. I have gotten a bunch of comments about how much of a sweetie my husband is. Now he is a sweetie and tells me he is proud of me and all that stuf...but he did not write that letter. Pfloyd (David) is my brother in law. Pete (Sam) is my husband. OOOOOPS!!!

OK now onto the "toothless hooker". The theory there is this, if you sold your body for a living, and had NO teeth, imagine the confidence you must have to walk out your font door every morning and go do that. I dont want to leave the house somedays because I feel like a fat blob. And its not ME I'm selling for a living...get it?

Its Friday...WooHoo! I dont have much planned for the weekend. I will be glued to the TV on Sunday (Colts game). I know that I will not make it to the gym that day (sorry fit girls-no workout for me on Sunday). But I will be going tonight and tomorrow and I plan on doing alot of house cleaning in the next two days...I'm sure it doesnt make up for missing a day but we all need a break every now and then right?

The scales werent exactly my buddy today. They were down but...I step on them and they say 191.4 then they say 190.4, so I get on them again and again and again and they keep going back and forth between the two numbers. I wish they would make up thier mind! Either way is a loss but dang it I want to know what it is exactly. So I am going with the higher number just in case...I dont want to be shocked and get on the scale tomorrow and it show a gain...you know.

Well I am off to check on ya'll. Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend!!!

I know I just posted but...

Four football fans - a Cowboys fan, an Eagles fan, a Colts fan, and a Patriots fan - are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves his team more.

The Cowboys fan insists he is the most loyal.  'This is for the Cowboys!' he yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain.

Not to be outdone, the Eagles fan shouts, 'This is for the Eagles!' and throws himself off the mountain.

The Colts fan is next to profess his love for his team.

He yells, 'This is for everyone!' and pushes the Patriot fan off the mountain.

Go Colts!      


Have I ever told you how much I love my COLTS?

A letter

First...thanks for all the ideas about how to handle the gym thing. I asked Britany for her hot pink wig but she said you had to go camando if you wore it so I guess I will just have to deal with it!

So last night I take the kids skating. As usuall half the neighborhood kids went with us. I dont mind...as long as there are enough seatbelts for everyone! I guess that means 6 kids is my limit...only seating for 7 and someone has to drive (that would be me). OK so back to what I was gonna tell you...right before we leave my brother in law comes over. We go skating and when I get home my brother in law is still there. So my husband and my brother in law and I sit around talking for an hour or so and then he leaves. I walk into the kitchen and there is a note on the table for me.

Now I have to explain something first. My husband is a hoot. He is the funniest person I know. And you probly would have to know him to understand some of the weird things he does. For example, he NEVER calls anyone by thier real name. He has a name for everyone and that is what he calls them, that is how they are listed in his contacts list on his cell phone and eventually other people start calling you whatever name he has come up with. He hasnt called me by my real name in years.

So here is what the letter said:

Wanda,

     I wanted to say something to you before you left but didnt know if I should- You look fantastic and I am very happy for you. Keep it up!

Love, Pfloyd

Yeah my name isnt really Wanda and his name is David...not PFloyd but I wanted to write  (ummm type) exactly what it said.

I thought that was so nice of him. Lets face it men can be...wait I am looking for a nice word to use here...nonobservant (is that a word). Well you know what I mean. I put the note in my food journal with my 142 pound pic of me. I will look at it everytime I open the journal to write in it...which is like 7 times a day.  Great motivation!

OK I am off to check on all my ladies out there in EP land. Hope ya'll have a great day!!!

OH...I heard this on the radio this morning and thought it was funny. Maybe you wont agree but here it is..."I wish I had the confidence of a toothless hooker"...maybe you would have to know the rest of the story to think its funny...oh well it made me laugh!

Member of the Month

So last night I went to the gym. I am pedaling away on the bike with my ipod (my daughters ipod) blarring in my ears and the owner comes up to me and taps me on the shoulder. I continue to pedal but take the ear thingys out. He says hello and we start to chat. He hadnt seen me since the middle of October and he was aking how much I had lost and all that stuff. Now the gym I go to has only been open since October...its is a new gym (duh).  He said that they are going to have a "member of the month" and he wanted me to be the first one. I said no. He asked why. OK so here is how I see it...I still weigh over 190 pounds, according to my BMI I am still obese. I am not a person that should have her big fat picture up in the middle of the gym for everyone to see. I am not anywhere near my goal weight. Why in the world would you want a big girl as your member of the month. You def. arent gonna get any new members that way.

So I give my speach to him but he will not budge. He says that there are people out there that weigh 275 pounds and think they cant loss the weight, they think that it will be too hard, they think it will take years..blah, blah, blah...and that it doesnt matter that I am not at goal weight yet because I am working on it and have come so far and are so dedicated...blah, blah, blah.

He just wouldnt give in so I did. But I have to be honest here, I am not happy about this. My big ole blown up picture will be hanging in the gym for everyone to see...UGH! I am not a "look at me" type of person. I am going to be so embarrassed!!!

I cant avoid the gym for a month...what in the world am I gonna do. I just dont want to be there working out and someone point to the pic and then point to me and be like "Uh thats you!" I hate to have attention drawn to myself. Someone tell me how to fix this problem!!!

Feeling better!

Thanks to all of you that were so kind as to stop by yesterday when I was feeling blah. I love you guys!!!

I am feeling a bit better today. I think its becasue this: I finally broke down last night and bought myself a new pair of workout pants. I have been wearing the same couple pairs for the last 50 pounds. So needless to say they have gotten pretty baggy. So I went to Walmart...I am hoping to lose 40 more pounds so I didnt see the need to spent alot of money on a pair of workout pants that hopefully will not fit me in a few months...so anyway I am in Walmart and I pick up a pair and they are 16/18. They looked a little too big. So just for S & G I grabbed a pair of 12/14s to try on. I go into the fitting room and try the 16/18s on first...guess what...they were SOOOO very baggy. So I try on the 12/14s...they fit! I am in the fitting room dancing around like an idiot! Its not like they are blue jeans, these are workout pants so they have alot of give to them but hey...they are a 12/14!  All I could think was "I started out wearing a size 22...holy cow this is cool!!!!!!!!' So that may be why I am in a better mood today.

OK so this next part to SO NOT weight loss related but I thought it was kinda interesting...and maybe all of you already know about it but I just found out. OK so if you go to GOOGLE MAPS and type in your address...then when it comes up click on STREET VIEW...if the street is outlines in blue, then click on the little yellow guy. It brings up a picture of your house! Try any address...its cool! Kinda creepy though!

OK ladies have a great day!

Nothing exciting

going on. Its Monday and I am back to 5 day work weeks...YUCK! It is rainy here, warm but rainy. Its just kind of a blah day. All the excitement from my girls birthdays and Christmas and my husbnads birthday and NY and all that stuff is gone. Nothing big really coming up in the near future...so I guess I am kinda blah too.

My weigh in this morning was ok. I am at 193.8. So that is 51.20 down and 38.8 more to go. For some reason that doesnt seem too exciting either.

I am hoping that the sun shines tomorrow and I chear up a little...ahh I will be alright.

Have a nice day ladies!
