Yes, the title says it all...I jinxed myself...I thought I was free and clear but nope...the last 2 days I have been in bed sick! I caught the stomach bug! Dang kids and husband! I am so nauseous, its not even funny!
It makes weight loss easy...but its not the way I wanted to lose the weight! Although, I have heard a couple days off the phentermine will help me not become so immune to it! So far, 2 days without it and Im not hungry. So depending on how I feel tomorrow...I may start it again.
My husband has been more than wonderful the last 2 days with the kids....he has let me stay in bed, and hes cooked, cleaned, done laundry, and yes...my kids are still alive. Although the baby (who is almost 2) is having mommy withdrawls..he sees me and just wants me to hold him and love on him..but I cant. If they were to get sick again....I would run away to a tropical island and hope the buzzards would get me...(if there are buzzards on a trop island)
Alright, I am heading back to bed...but the urge to blog was so great...i HAD to!!
It has been 2 days since I have posted. I know what you are thinking...no, I didnt get sick. Amazingly enough, the virus is gone and somehow by golly...I managed not to get it! Thank God! I had a friend come down from NC for 2 days and we decided to get out and get ourselves going!!! We decided that we would make it a girls day. I left the husband and kids home, and I took a mental health day...lol..(aka retail therapy)
First, my friend wanted to get a manicure/pedicure. I said eh, you know I hate feet so I will just go with you and be your support. Somehow before we left the place...I was talked into getting my toenails french manicured! Yes, after I about swallowed my tongue, and had a couple anxiety attacks. My toes were beautiful. lol, Imagine my big 239 lb butt, yanking and jerking my foot away from this "twig" I would say she was not even 100 lbs. lol One good kick and I could have sent her flying across the nail place. But i maintained. We then went to target..and at the same time, my friend and I decided...oooohhhh brownies sound good. As we stood there contemplating what kind we wanted..we decided we couldnt eat that garbage (she is losing weight too) YAYYY US! 2 days of shopping and making ourselves pretty...is enough for me. I kinda missed my mommy world.
My weight loss is still going well...only thing lacking is the water. I am trying to build myself back up to drinking lots of water. Taking care of the family when they were sick, put the water drinking on the back burner! But no more! Sickness be gone...Water be here.! Yea, I know what great english! lol...
Oddly as this sounds, I missed reading all the blogs this weekend, I kept wondering how you were all doing. Whose losing, how they are losing...etc! Yes, I am going to need EP anon, if this keeps it up. But you all are just so wonderful, its hard not wanting to push you forward or check up on you! Ok, this is long enough...you all be good...take care...Keep your head up and smile.
The boys are napping, the husband is napping and Im here with my thoughts. Lucky you all!
So far today, no puking! Can we say Thank God! The boys are getting back to their normal selves...if they were ever normal to begin with. They have the antagonizing, and taunting each other back. The 3 year old has the tantrums back. And the little guy has his NO back (his new favorite word, that he smirks while saying).
I am determined that today is going to be a much better day for me. I NEED to drink my water, and I NEED to take in some food. I am really excited to be seeing results, I got out of the shower, and looked at my stomach and I was like wow. To the untrained eye that doesnt look at my body every day...It wouldnt appear to be that big of a difference..but to me. Its noticeable. And thats all that matters. I hope you all are well. Hugs
Ok, so I have the kids in bed, the husband in bed..and well..Yall can now call me Patches...cause I have pulled my hair out in patches! I am sitting here praying for a moments peace! I am praying that the germs stay away from me...Mommas can never have down time!
I have done well taking care of the others today, and havent done so well for myself. I tried to eat a salad..and well I have had 22 ozs of water today...yea, I know...but its so hard to concentrate on me, when im cleaning a bathroom because one of them miss the potty, and there is yack every where! Its not something you really want to eat after! lol.
We were supposed to have a dinner for my moms birthday tomorrow, but I dont think I am going to subject my family to the germs that are lingering! lol...
I feel bad for not leaving you guys many posts today but omg, its been a day...! Hope you all are wonderful...take care!
Oy, Can the day get any better? The kid that was sick is feeling, great. Other kid is now sick, puking all over the place. And to top it off, hub just showed up and said...I left work because Im throwing up. And if any of you know..Men are the biggest babies! So I may have to say 20 hail marys, even though im not catholic!
I am still keeping a great attitude. My water intake is a little low at this point because I havent had time to do much. I just got everyone settled, and im hoping to catch up! lol..*holds hand to head....must have waterrrr! Yea, yea...I know i deserve an Emmy.
I am still in awe that so many people that dont "know" each other can come together to support each other in such magnifiscent ways. Its awesome! We have such a good strong group here. So many personalities, so many different people.!! WE ROCK!
First and foremost...I want to say thank you all for the wonderful messages I received about yesterdays post! It has meant a lot to me for your support, encouragement and shared stories!
Second, I had to stop by the drs today...and needless to say, he told me just for giggles to hop on the scale. I was hesitant since it wasnt the time I was supposed to get weighed. Anyway...I got on the scale, and i had to rub my eyes...to my amazement. I was down 8 lbs in 10 days! yes 8 POUNDS! I thought I was going to need CPR. At least I was in the right place for it! I still didnt want to believe it...Hub and I took a trip to Walmart..and I went over to the scale section, and was pulling scales in the floor to make sure I wasnt seeing things! lol..and yep 8 lbs.
It is amazing what happens when we change our life style, and think of ourselves sometimes! I am so truly thankful that I have you all to share this with! Have a wonderful day!
Life is short. A friend of mine got married 2 weeks ago and sent me the wedding pictures today. Looking at them made me so happy for her. Then I got to pictures of her and her dads dance. My heart then began to break! Happy for her, yet aching for me. I got married almost 4 years ago, and several months before my wedding my father was killed in the line of duty (police). All I could think of was how I wish he were here to give me away, to dance with me, to tell me I was beautiful! While my day was still beautiful, there was a part of me missing!
I guess what made me think of this is...there are so many things my dad wanted to accomplish but never got the chance to. Granted he left a job of 20 plus years, to get his GED, and become his lifes dream, a police officer. There were things he regretted not doing.
I decided that I am going to apply this to my life. And live to the fullest, I cant regret not doing things. I have to accomplish my goals. Weight loss a big one of them. I cant look back on my life and say..there is so much i wanted to do and didnt, for one reason or another. I will, I must! There is no time like the present.
Sorry for the sentiment today, but honestly its the thing that has been coming back to me all day...Live life to the fullest, and never have regrets!
Who said A little indulgence never hurts! I beg to differ!!! I made a roast yesterday with a new recipe...it was SO tender and moist. I ate and was full..but my mind said you are not satisfied! I ate a tiny little extra piece...why I dont know...But I seriously paid for it later during the night...With me being on Phentermine, it makes you fill quicker, cuts the appetite...lol..well, I laid in bed and felt like I was soooo full and nauseous, I wanted to die! I kept telling my husband, If i could just yack I would feel better! Then he made me realize..yea...use this as a learning experience... with that sentence I wanted to thank him but kick the crap outta him. (if i could have even moved) Lol...When my kids fall down or do something that gets them a minor boo boo..I tell them.."lifes lessons learned hard" They dont understand it yet...but one day they will...well Karma bit me in the arse...cause over eating was a life lesson learned hard last night!
Its made me even more determined that I cant force feed myself food just because I think one more bite wont hurt.
Peytonism (my 3 year old and his thoughts) Mama, I eat you food, so you dont! Pretty smart for a 3 year old, lol the more he eats the less i do! have a great day and thanks for reading all my quirky thoughts!
I think I am going to cover several topics in todays blog! Lol...my mind is rambling to many different things, its here, there and everywhere...so eh, why not! Its my blog!
Dieting/Weight loss: I slept in this morning and missed breakfast, which for me is the hardest meal of the day to force myself to eat. Im just at a loss for what to eat. On todays menu, we have roast and carrots, green beans and mash potatoes. Yea those fatty potatoes can go on someone elses plate! Im trying to up my water intake. I drink about 5 bottles a day but thats not enough...but I feel as if I could yack water!
Kids (this is always a fun topic): Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my son...he is feeling better today. So good infact hes upstairs torturing his big brother right now! Any of you parents out there have good potty training advice..hey i figured yall are good with weight loss...why not try my luck at pottying. My son is 3..and he will pee in the potty but wont do the other business in the potty. It is frustrating! Just when we think we have a reign on the situation...here he is throwing the wipes at us, saying ok, i done..change me! Yea! the little chithead! So any and all advice or tips is welcome!
You guys Rock!! And Im so thankful I found this site!!!
Gail
PS...reality check of the day....when you can lay in the bath tub and you realize your fat is floating! think about it!
Ok, So I know I posted earlier...but now that the kids are in bed, I am feeling the need to vent. Nothing major, just UGHHH!
The boys were at my moms last night, and we were on our way to pick them up when we get a call..."Dechlan is throwing up!" I get to my moms and my poor almost 2 year old is spewing worse than a geysar. But yet hes all smiles...Oy, boys!
So we pack the boys up and are heading home and BLAHHH! there goes my son puking all over my clean car! Not fun!
Which leads me to the this point...Omg I am so frazzled, I want to eat everything in sight! There goes the emotional eating! Lol...im not eating...I decided I would bore you people instead!
Ugh! As I was posting this I hear "MAMA.." gushhh. There he goes again! Pray for my baby and my sanity...Im going to need it!
I am so nauseous, its not even funny!
