Before After

A point in time...

There come this point in life where you sit back and look at your life and think, I want more. 

But I don’t want more money or more things, I want more health!!!

I turned 35 Sunday, and I want to be slim and healthy by 40!!! Im NOT doing any crazy diets, I am eating right.  5 small meals a day.  I am starting to walk today.  Starting out with 1.5 miles.  2 years ago I was doing 5 miles in 45 minutes!!! I will get back to that!!!

I might be selfish but I deserve to do this for me!!!!

So that is fine, if I need to be selfish in order to get healthy, then so be it.  

A test today..

 

Well, I have a birthday to celebrate to day, my son is turning 11!! We are having a family and friends birthday party tonight.  We will have cake and ice cream, and all the good stuff.  My son wants me to make lasagna for his supper tonight.

Yesterday was a great day!! I

Breakfast, we had run out of eggs, so I had an apple and a few bits of bacon.

Snack was grapes

lunch chicken breast

snack was my coworkers homemade chili!!!  it was only like a half a cup

supper, meat loaf and broccoli… so good!

Right now I am eating my fav. breakfast

2 eggs with mushrooms, onion and ham all mixed together with a little bit of cheese..

I am off work today, so I can get some things done, like clean the house, and organize so the whole house is good for the party, including the upstairs.  We will see if I can make it to my room, I always seem to run out of steam when I get to my room but there is not much to do in there anyway. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
Kisses…

Falling into place...

 

Well it looks like things are falling into place.  Life wise.  I made a decision to stay with my current job and not change careers.  I could not be happier!!!

Life style wise I was such a good girl yesterday, until last night, I went to the fridge and there were some yummiest cakes staring me in the face.. I took a bite.  Then was like, “What the hell am I doing!!!!”  Threw the rest in the garbage and spit out what I had already taken a bite of. 

It took ahold of my craving and smashed it!!!

So even though I did give over the urge, as quickly as I took a bite, I realized what I was doing, and stopped myself…

VERY PROUD!!!!!

I work today, and my baby is sick at home, but Nana will take good care of her.

I wish you all a fantastic day!!!

Sneak Peek

 

 

Took a sneak peek at the scales this morning, down 5 lbs!!!! Only been following this for 3 days!!!!! Yippppeeeee, so far it is working. 

Maybe my thyroid is not as messed up as I thought! But we will see how much I am able to lose. 

Food: Breakfast, Two eggs and 3 bits of turkey bacon

Snack: grapes, and a few slices of cheese

Lunch: A Greek salad, and half a chicken breast

Dinner: Taco salad made with turkey meat, and no shell

Snack: two slices of ham

and TONS of water.  Going to do the same thing today for lunch, love Greek salads!!!

Work today and tomorrow, off Saturday and work Sunday.  Then start my new job on Monday.  I'm a bit nerves about the new job, its work from home customer service, I know I can do it, I just want it so bad, I don’t want to mess it up!!

Well, I had better get going, going to make an mushroom omelet for breakfast!!!

I have to!

I have to ask myself, do I like feeling like crap?  Do I like the way I look?  Am I happy?  

The answer to all of those, are NO! NO NO NO!!!!!!

I am losing myself again! I am alowing this to happen again! WHat was I thinking!!!!!! 
Its time to get back control.
I am sick of feeling weak. 

Even if I dont lose anything I am going to start working out.  Still have not been to the doc about my thyroid so Im going at this to get fit and once I get on meds who knows I might start to drop weight, LOL LOL.. I know Im dreaming.. 

Im going to stop eating all the flippen time!! The more I eat the worse I feel so the more I eat.  Its a endless cycle.  
5 small meals a day.

Here we go.. wish me luck..

WOW!!

So here I am, sipping a strawberry and banana smoothie, for breakfast, and just being reflective.. 

Yesterday, I was a very bad girl!! Not one but TWO pieces of cake... but no use dwelling on it, moving on from that, and taking a stand!!! 
I am sick of feeling sick, from the crap i have been eating, i am sick of feeling bogged down and no energy from the lack of veggies!!! I really wish I would have planted a garden, to give my family all the veggies at no cost!! 
but next year for sure, i even have the place cleaned out and ready for next year.. 
I have started my own home business, so I am a stay at home momma, and sitting on my butt for most of the day talking on the phone, so my food intake i know needs to be around 2100 cals a day to lose 2 lbs a week.  I also need to start an exercize plan, start doing my kettel bell again!!! REALLY!!! I love that!!! So starting today, monday through friday kettel bell!!! off on Sat and Sun. 
So that is my plan.. tons of veggies, exercize 5 times a week, and cals no more than 2100 ... 
I have done this before, I will do it again, and next time, avoid the cake!!! LOL

IS it just me?

Do does anyone else hate summer?  I really dont like summer at all, the heat and humidity, the only good thing about it is the thunderstorms as long as there is no hail or tornados! We have been having storms for the past few nights, and last night it started at about 8 with thunder and lightning and the rain finally came at 11.. crazy stuff!!! 

Well Im up getting my much needed mommy time, will start waking everyone up to get ready for church.. 
nothing planed today, other than the normal picking up the house and stuff... still waiting on hearing back from my back ground check, which should be fine, never been in trouble before.. then i can start my training for the at home job!! Supper excited, this is exactly what we need!!! just praying everything goes smooth!! 

dont know yet what we are going to make for supper, but we will see what I come up with.. 
I hope you all have a wonderful sunday!!

update...

Well, weight wise, im still holding steady!! I am happy with this.. can not wait for Ricks insurance to kick in and be able to get to the doc, and the indocranoigist, and find out exactly what is going on with the thyroid.. Once we get me on meds, if they are needed, i hope to be able to lose the weight i need to!! 

I have left Lane Bryant, was sad, but i was only getting 4 hours a week, and it was costing me more to go to work than i was making!! Also, the district manager was being a real pain in the ass, would not give me a strait answer for when my management position was going to go into effect, they kept "dangling the carrot" and not giving me any strait answers, so that was it!! I can do more good being a stay at home mom, however, I am going to be working from home and very excited about it!!!! 
I can set my own hours, so I can work a few hours every day and once the kids go back to school, work the entire time they are at school!! and this is just what we needed for me!!!! SO EXCITED!!

Anyway.. I hope you are all well.. Not much activity going on any more.. :( 

Kisses..

Then I am going to need a nap!!
I did not sleep well at all last night!!! Kept waking up, I am already so tired my eyes burn.  I work tomorrow, and it breaks my heart to say, that I am leaving my job.. :(  
But the good news is I can do alot her at the house, being here for the kids during the summer.. But I know, I just KNOW I am going to be going crazy!!!NUTS!!! BUt this is what I have to do..      and yes, I just want to CRY!!!

Healthy living

I am still eating right.. but i really have to get this exercise thing going again.  I have really slacked on my exercise but working on it, I dont sit around alot so that helps.. 

This is the last week of school for the kids!!! YIPPPPEEEEE so looking forward to summer with them.  Going to do yard work today, so i know i burn a ton of cals doing that.. along with laundry, cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping floors, i have a busy day planned.. 
I was going to do most of this yesterday, however, I got a killer migraine and was wiped out for most of the day! YECK!!! 

One thing I am doing is really watching my carbs.. no potatoes, rice, pasta, so on and so forth, still getting carbs from fruits and veggies 

Well I hope you all are doing great!!! You all seem to be!!!

Kisses..
