Slowly......

Another week is upon us...where or where does the time go?  So I know that my weight loss has super slowed down ever since I had my gall bladder surgery in December.....this has been hard for me to accept...still...lol :)  I understand now though that I have made a huge lifestyle change over the past year.....I am proud of myself for how far I have come and how much I will still achieve!  I may not get to my goal for another 6 months but I am so much healthier than I was over a year ago trying to obtain the same goal.  This is forever, not just a quick fix.  I feel great!

-1.7

Happy Saturday!!

Had a great weigh in today....I am down -1.7 since last week!!  Whoo hoo!!!

Tonight my husband and I are going out together...alone!! YEAH!!  It's such a rare occassion that we get to!  We are going to go eat at the YardHouse and then to see Pirates!  I'm so excited!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun long weekend!

Birthday Weekend!

Yesterday's weigh in was not exactly what I wanted to accomplish but it was half of what I wanted to accomplish. I was down -0.5. 

We went out to dinner for my birthday last night with my in-laws and my dad and his wife.  It was so much fun!  We went to Pappadeux's Seafood Kitchen....sooooo delicious!  I had the Live Maine Lobster....I have never ordered a meal that expensive, but oh my gosh........it was soooooo good!  We listened to the live band for a while outside after we were done eating....my dad of course had to shout out that it was my birthday so then all the attention was on me...ahh!  It was a lot of fun though, they ended up singing a few songs to me with my name in them...and the guy kept saying it was my 21st birthday.....I wasn't going to correct him....I'll take of 6 years! HA!  So yes, it the big 2-7!  Tomorrow is the actual day but of course I'll be working! 

Oh, we went to the movies yesterday to see Shrek 3...so much fun too! We took our 2 1/2 year old for the first time!  She did really good for her age!

Alright, I am off to take my 8 year old bowling today!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend!

Oh ya, my goal for next week is to again be down -1.0!!! I can do this!  We ALL can do this!!!!!

Hangin' in there!

Hello all!

I know I have been absent for awhile now....I have had a VERY busy past 3 weeks......as I told you before, I got the promortion at work that I wanted.....so along with that came the training!  SO CRAZY!  I have been working crazy hours weekends....all is calming down now...thank goodness.  Thru it all I gained .6.  I will take it and run with it!  Not bad for being a little off my usual menu and exercise routine. 

I am ready to go now, more than ever!  I really want to get a move on things again.  I haven't a sizeable loss in a while. I realize that since I am closer to goal now that things will move slower...I have accepted that...finally! But I would like to be down -1.0 next week. That is my goal. 

I am going to brunch tomorrow with my mom and 2 of my sisters...I will make good choices!

I hope all the Mom's out there have a beautiful Mother's Day!!!

Here's to a GREAT week comig up!

May Day

A brand new month!  So many possibilities!!  This month has a lot of birthday's for our family!  Bring it on! 

I just got offered the promotion today at work!  I am sooooo excited!  It starts really soon....um ya, Thursday!  I have to pack up my desk tomorrow...sad!  I will be traveling now with our District manager so I won't have a "home" anymore.....yes, I said home....I am there more waking hours than I am at home any given week!  But when I say travel, it's all local to our different branches here in the Valley...nothing out of state.  Bring this on too!!!

My weight hasn't been the easiest the past few weeks....we had guests from out of town staying with us.....that made it so difficult!  I think I have said this a billion times now but I will get there, slowly but surely!

This came to mind today when I was thinking about my weight loss.....  I am now 95 pounds lighter than I was when I was ready to pop with my youngest daughter....that's crazy!  And I didn't even gain that much weight with that pregnancy...only 20 pounds!  Scarry!!!! 

No wi this week

Well I am not weighing in this week....just been a crazy week period.   On to a brand new week and tons of possiblities!  I really want to jump start my weight loss again....it's been pretty darn slow lately! 

I haven't heard yet from the official boss yet on the promotion but from what I have heard it should be happening any day now....tick tock!  lol... I am soooooo impatient!!! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Sunday Sunday

Yesterday was weigh in day! I was down -0.9 for the week. 

Alright so I have heard thru the grapevine that I am getting promoted at work tomorrow.....I am nervous!  I hope all goes well and it's true!  We shall see....I'll update when I know more!

-0.6

Alright, down -0.6 this week.....at least I lost the .5 that I gained last week, lol :) 

On to a NEW fantastic week...I know I will have a much greater loss this week!

So, the more weight I lose, the more extra saggy skin I have around my stomach...it's pretty disgusting.  I can't stand it!  I know I would be in a smaller size pant if this extra skin was gone.  My pants are always a little too big in the legs so that they will fit my stomach.  Sooooo, I have decided that once I reach my goal weight I will have tummy tuck sometime shortly after.  I know this skin wil never go away unless surgically removed.  It's a large cost but very worth it my book.  I don't want to always have these two large rolls every time I sit down....they even show thru clothes when I am standing....ugh!

Anywho...hope everyone has a great week!!!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  I know, I'm a day early!  I don't think that I will have a chance to get on here tomorrow though....lots going on with family!

I was up .5 today.....it's ok...I kinda expected my body to do that after losing quite a bit in two weeks compared to what I was losing in the past months.  Plus I did endulge in chocolate earlier in the week...oh well!  I will get there! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend!

Oh yeah...

I had a wonderful week, I was on track and motivated!  I am down another -2.4 this week....I am so done with the 70's!!!  I want to breeze thru the 60's too! :)  With time, with time!  I am so happy that my train of thought is much better today than it was a few months ago...I was so determined to loss right then and there instead of letting my body adjust to all the changes it is going thru..I will get to my goal, it may not be until 2, 4 or even 6 months from now but I will do this, I will acheive what I want to acheive! 

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
