Almost to my short term goal!!

Life.- Calgon Take me away

 Well, I have slacked on blogging & checking in. Life has been insane. We went to visit my parents in Florida. That was nice...My sister/brother & Nema got to see Carley for the 1st time.. I wish I could go back. Really, if DH didn't have such a good thing going @ his job- I would love to move back home...

Life here is insane..DH works 6 days a week...Long hours so he is NEVER  home. Having 4 kids to raise alone is rough. I dont know how real single parents do it..

My 12 year old is getting mouthy, my 9 y/o is severly ADHD and we are having issues @ school & @ home.. My 4 y/o sees his brother act up & is trying to follow in his footsteps. Carley my little one is a very high needs baby - so there is no time to even relax b/c someone is either acting up or screaming /crying. I am about to loose my mind. I have told dH this but work comes 1st then family. I'm blessed with a husband who works hard & I appreciate that..But there are times I need some help. I need a break. I am home with my princess all day & there are days I wanna (& do )cry. When he walks in the door , I hand her off...She starts to cry, so he hands her back to me. She is a big time mommy's girl. She wants me & only me...

There are days I want to park myself @ Mc Donalds for the day & eat away the stress,anger,frusteration,resentment etc.....But -then I remember that I would accomplish NOTHING  but cause a new emotion & thats GULIT. If I eat something that I shouldn't I feel horrific guilt.  

On top of all of this, I have been battleing a sinus infection and have a lymph node swollen under my arm. I no longer have insurance & Dh's company has dropped the ball on getting a new insurance.. I know I need to get it checked & know all the horrible things it can be..I am hoping it is just b/c i am worn down.

Ugg, well my kids are fighting.So as much as I want to sit & go on, I better get going.

Calgon take me away!!!!! LOL.    

2 Goals gone!

When I re-joined WW, I set 2 goals for myself...

1) Loose the 50 # I gained during my pregnancy, which would bring me to my last WI weight b4 finding out I was pregant.

2) Reach my 1st 10%, which happens to be the same weight as my 50# loss...

Today I did it! I reached 10% / 50# loss / Pre-pregnancy weight!!

I am so excited. I am wanting to be in Onederland by Christmas..Totally obtainable.  Thats only 8 # away......I am thinking of changing the goal to 8 by Thanksgiving. :)..I have 7/8 weeks to loose 8 #...

I weigh LESS right now than I did last Thanksgiving, & I just had a baby almost 3 months ago.. Had I not let myself gain 50#, I would already be in Onederland <<<Sigh>>>,  Heck, if after Carley was born, I laid off the Micky D's for 3 weeks I would be there too.. I ate Big Mac's DAILY after she was born....Oh well. I cant change the past..Im trying not to dwell on it either....

 I still have a long way to go.. But I will get there :)...Hopefully by Carley's 1st birthday I will be close to my goal weight...  

4 to go.

I have been slacking on posting here. MY 2month old daughter is EXTREMELY high maintainance & I moderate a pregnancy board, so all of my computer time is stuck dealing with those things.  On top of my oldest daughter playing Varsity Fast-Pitch Softball for her school..We live @ the ball park...

I am pleased @ my weight loss though. I am 4 # away from my 1st goal...50# lost since July 9th , it is also my 10% loss for weight watchers...Hopefully I will get it on 10/2/08!!! Then I will be where I was last November when I became pregnant!! I am trucking along. So, I hope to be close to goal by CARLEY'S 1st  !!

I have my next goal. To be in 1derland by Christmas...Well I better hit the bed....I will post my weight loss tomorrow after weigh in.. 

I'm back after a pregnancy break

I am back after almost a year... I found out I was pregnant in November, so I stopped watching what I ate & did not care about weight for 9 months...

I had my miracle child on 7/9 & it is time to loose the insane ammt.  of weight I made myself gain....I joined WW on 8/7/08 weighing in @ 232.6 #.....I had lost some of my preg. weight. I will be back to pre-preg. weight when I reach 209....

As of todays WI, I weighed 226#.......I still have a long way to go to get to my 1st goal of pre-pregnancy weight then my long term which I am still unsure about.... I have done it b4 & I can do it again!!!

Todays WI

Well, todays WI was good...I am down to 213...I am 3 # away from getting my 10# loss keychain from WW..!!!  Hopefully I will accomplish that the week of 11/2...So  I hAVE to loose @ least 1.5 next week..

Time to undo damage!!

Well, Saturday was my Nema's 90th b/d party & we threw her a big suprise bash. Realitives from all over Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin & who knows where else flew in..

I had EVERY intention of being 100% OP...That flew out the window fast...Friday I was good.. Saturday was a difft. story.

The party was @ 3:30 & they were serving dinner. I had breakfast & for lunch a salad. By dinner time I was STARVING & over did it..

I had 5 wings, 2 bites of cookie ( that part I did good), some potato salad..Let me tell you, I HATE potato salad BUT this was the most "delish" one I have EVER had in my life!!!  WOW. Then I had some meatballs & fruit...

Not tooo  bad seeing as how I didnt eat much all day BUT by 9 pm I was STARVING & my sil & everyone wanted to get wings & pizza...I over did it!!  1 & 1/2 slices of pizza ( they were large Brooklyn size slices too) & a few more wings.. UGGGGGG!!!

Sunday we got some Cuban food..YUMMY!! It is hard to find good cuban food here in Georgia...I did get a few activity pts. for walking around Ybor City, but still...For dinner I ate salad & 2 more slices of pizza...I didnt have breakfast, just a nutragrain bar so I went over points,but not tooo bad I HOPE!! lol...

Monday, I stayed OP 100% even while traveling home..8 hrs. in a car w/3 kids, having a visit from my Aunt flo...REALLY can screw with a person...Believe me, I was wanting to hit EVERY Dunkin Donuts that we passed & grab chocolate bars @ every gas station.. BUT I didnt.... I have got to undo all the damage form my food binges!!  Well, We will see on Friday the damage if any...

Next road trip is to Charlotte for the NASCAR night race...Going to stay there the whole weekend...Mini-Vacation w/the hubby...Wish me luck!! I have got to get to my 10% goal & hopefully before Thanksgiving!!   

December Goal Met

Well, I had a great weigh in on Friday...I was 219 while naked & 220 clothed @ my WW weigh in...I need to get a new tracker b/c I met my original goal to loose 20# by December... Now, that I am back in the game, I am going to come up with my next goal..

I am wanting to make my 10% goal by Thanksgiving.  8 # untill my  first 10% goal.  That gives me 10 weeks. Definatly do-able assuming on 2 things. 1) When I go back home next weekend, I stay OP &

2) When we go to the Charlotte Race in October, I am carefull.. 

:) Jami

Thursday doings

Well, tomorrow is weigh in...I wanted to be out of the 220s by next Friday.That isnt going to happen this week, but hopefully next week it will.

I am going home to Tampa next weekend for my Nemas 90th b/d party..I am hoping that it will be noticible that I have lost some weight..

Next year @ this time, I am hoping to go home & visit the beach wearing a bathing suit!!

I have stayed OP all week. I hope tomorrow reflects that! :)...

I am guilty of scale obsessing. It is a bad habbit that I am trying to break..I am doing better though. I used to weigh in every morning but now & weigh in 1 time a week @ my house, then on Fridays I go to WW & weigh in :).    I need to learn to not obsess over numbers...BUT I honestly feel sick @ the thought of not loosing this weight. It came off sooooo easy last time...EVERY week it was 3-5 #..I loved it...This time around, it is not the same.. I know this time will be better since I am loosing slowly. It is a mental issue....

WEll, I rambled on enough...I am making the kids pizza for dinner. it smells soooo good! UGGG!! I am eating light tonight, not as fun...I made tacos last night & I know that is something that will make you retain, so tonight I am being good & eating light..    

  Well, I will be back tomorrow with hopefully good news....My MAIN down fall was last friday night & saturday & it has me VERY nervous!! ...

Tomorrow if we go to the harvest moon, I WILL NOT eat my fav. pizza...Just a shrimp appetizer & salad!!
