1 month already gone!
One month down... 15pds gone. Not bad. I was really trying to hit 20pds but this is good. I am not burned out yet, so I think the next few months will be easy to handle. I am really enjoying the foods I am eating and I am loving the extra exercise. The energy is nice to! Especially with a 20month old. I am really trying to get the frame of mind where food is just a thing you have to eat to survive. Not a fun thing. I think that is the problem with a lot of people. Food means good times with friends, family. And it brings pleasure when it is yummy! Spring is definantly on its way so there are many things to keep me busy this next month.
Maybe month 2 will bring off 15 more!

SPRING IS COMING!
My house needs a good spring cleaning. Everytime I get tempted to grab one of my babies teddy grahms I am going to clean something...lol..
This weather is awesome. This will be my first spring and summer as a stay at home mom!!!!!!!!! wooo hoooo!!!!!!!!
We can do what ever we please this summer. Although it has to be free cause without me working there is no extra cash to splurge on certain things. That is ok.... the best things in life are free. Hugs and kisses from my kids!

FRUIT SMOOTHIES.....YUM!
I love these things! I have really been depriving myself since I started this diet. we got a magic bullet BLENDER THAT MAKES THE BEST SMOOTHIES. THE ONE I MADE TODAY WAS PINEAPPLE. i JUST TOOK ABOUT 6 PINEAPPLE CHUNKS, 1 PACKET OF SPLENDA, ABOUT A HALF OF CUP OF SKIM MILK AND SEVERAL CUBES OF ICE. iT WAS DELICIOUS. A VERY HEALTHY SNACK FOR MY SON AND i. YOU CAN MAKE THESE WITH YOUR BLENDER TOO BUT THIS LITTLE THING IS VERY COMPACT AND SUPER EASY TO USE. i HATE GETTING MY BLENDER OUT.
I GOT MINE ON EBAY. IF YOU BUY OFF TV OR THEIR WEBSITE YOU PAY ALMOST TRIPLE. YOU CAN ALSO USE IT TO MAKE CHICKEN SALAD AND ALL THOSE THINGS THE FOOD PROCESSOR OR BLENDER DO -BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO FOOL WITH ALL THE CLEAN UP.
i HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT MONDAY! IT IS SO NICE HERE. sPRING IS ON ITS WAY....

My baby boy
I just got back from taking my son for his 18month check up. He is actually 20months old. I kept forgetting to make the appt. He is such a good boy. He sat quietly in his daddys lap the entire time. He cried just a little when he got his shot. Now he is tucked in his crib sleeping like an angel. He will keep me very busy this summer. I can not wait. My kids are a big part of the reason I am loosing weight. I want to be able to keep up with them. I know I am not obese. But my BMI is over what it should. I want to look good while I am out at the park or swimming. I want my kids to be proud of me. I look around this house while it is so quiet. There is not a room here that does not have something related to my kids. Not even my room. They are apart of everything we do. I would not have it any other way.

End of Week 2
I can not believe I haven not blogged in a week. Well I take that back. I had one all typed out. It was pretty cool too. I did something wrong and it did not take. I was to heartbroken to try to redo it...lol...
I can say as of now. I am proud of myself. The pounds are dropping and almost as important. I am sticking to my exercise! That is a biggie to me. It has only been 2wks but I think I have picked something I can stick with.
I am looking for a fast and fun weight loss but also lifestyle changes. IN order for me to keep this weight off for good I am going to have to retrain myself. Change my whole way of thinking.
I am giddy about it as of now. I feel great. This is going to be a good summer. The kids are awesome. My husband is wonderful.
I know that if I take care of me first then everyone else gets much better taking care of.
MOre later.... I love this site.

The end of week 1
I made the first week!
Months to go I know. I almost lost 10pds! That is something to get me motivated! I know it will slow down much but I am in it for the long haul. I had a bad case of the munchies last night so I have to get my house stocked with foods that I can eat. I made it without munching but it was hard! I am going to exercise here in a couple of minutes. I am going to get some meal plans going to. Not only do I have to worry about myself but I have to feed 3 other people who do not have to be on a diet! THey need the healthy food too though.
So this will be a journey for us all.
off to work out.........

WOO HOO
So far so good! I love watching the scale go!!!
I know what I am loosing right now is mostly water but heck... As long as the number is going down I dont care.
I am sticking to my small exercise routine. I will increase that as I go. Dont want to be to unrealistic because I don't normally even exercise! I need to add it so it will be something I can handle long term.
Not much more to report... Off for more coffee and a check on the kiddos!

6am exercise
I decided I would start using my Gazelle exerciser in the mornings while my daughter is eating breakfast before I take her to school! I feel so much better today. I usually just wander around the house doing nothing that productive while she gets ready. This morning I even grabbed a quick shower before we left. I am a stay at home mom and usually dont even get out of my pj's.... lol....
Good luck everyone..... Summer is almost here!!!!!

Onward Bound
I am still here. Still ready to get this job done. I was 4pds lighter this AM, I am sure it was just tinkle weight from the extra water I have been drinking but it was still nice to see the scale move.

Day one
I took my first phentermine today. I took these in the past and had good success with them. I have totally let myself get out of controll. In April we went to Disney and I was 164 and that is less than a year after giving birth. Here it is Feb and I shot up to 182.. got to fix this gain plus loose the baby weight. I think I will feel so much better and be so much more energetic. I can not wait...
