Happy Birthday to me!!
Yes, today is my 32nd birthday! I've been getting well wishes and HBDTY's since yesterday and they all make me so happy and make me feel so loved. But I have given myself a wonderful birthday gift this morning as well. I stepped on the scale and I had lost 3.6 pounds!!! Now I was aiming for a 5 pound lose for my birthday but I'll take 3.6 lbs any day!! I'm very excited about this lose cause it puts me back below 200!!!! I love being in Onederland again, it's a fabulous place to live. I have set myself a new mini goal of 5 pounds by Memorial day (the day b4 actually since I weigh on Sundays.
Anyway this Birthday is starting out rather well for me. I think I'll go "wash that grey right out of my hair" now.

BAD GIRL!
I did good all day. Just ate what I needed to and nothng more. Then for supper I had 2 bowls of spaghetti. It was soooo good but I don't think it's gonna be worth a gain. Guess I'll be jogging up and down the hill tomorrow.

I'm excited!!
I am not suppose to weigh untill Sunday but I couldn't help but step on the scales tonight. I have lost 2 pounds this week and I've still got 2 days to go! I'm hoping it is actually less than that since it was a night time weigh in. I might have to do it again tomorrow. I know this is obsessing but 2 pounds!! Probably not going to reach my goal for my birthday Sunday but at least I'm on that downward slope again!!!

Recommitment
When I restarted this whole weight loss mission again I said this was my "one more try". I've had to restart again and again but I'm still on that "one more try". This is my
recommitment to getting and staying healthy and smaller. I have started back on the Weight Watchers plan today and my Husband and I have discussed giving me time to walk or workout or whatever I need to do for about an hour everyday. So the plan is there now I just have to get with it.
I'm an emotional eater so that is something I'm gonna have to work on but I'll willing and ready.
So there it is, I've fallen down but I'm not out for the count. I'm getting back in the saddle and heading for my goal!

Going down again!!
ok so my weight went up a bit for few weeks but I was honest about it and tracked it just as I should have. Keepin' myself honest. But now I'm getting back on track and it has dropped the past 3 weeks not alot but at least it's going in the right direction again.
I am about to go do a 20 minute aerobic workout followed by either an about 10 minute ab workout or a 20ish minute hips and thighs workout or maybe both depending on how I feel. My plan is to do some type of workout 3 times a week right now. I think my husband can spare that much time to watch the kids while I get in better shape.
So ok I'm gonna go do it before I talk myself out of it.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!! (at least I'm keeping my head above the water!)

Again, I'm still here.
Quick update:
I fell off the wagon, gained a little, skipped 1 weigh-in, got back on the wagon, lost 2 pounds, feeling pretty good, gonna stay on the wagon.
Oh and I found out that I am going to need a hysterectomy. WhooHoooo! I'm getting it done next year so there's another motivator for me to get rid of this extra baggage before then. I'm a little nervous about the hyst. but I trust my doc and we've tried other things that haven't worked out so that's my option.
OH it's due to prolapse of bladder and uterus. Darn big baby boy. LOL
Ok so I must get ready for work now. Gotta get there early if I want to get things done.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!! (even if you hit a rough current)

I'm still here
I know I'm behind on my food journal postings but it's gotten kinda busy around here. I didn't lose any weight this past week but I didn't gain either. I stayed the exact same, which in my eyes is a positive thing. I did very good over the weekend out with Hubby and didn't use all my weekly points until today (which is the last day of my WW week so who cares?!) Anyway, I'll catch up as soon as I can. Hope everyone who is possibly reading this is well.
Remember: JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!!!

I did good today!! I actually haven't done the activity yet but I'm on my way to do it now. It's the 10 minute FIRM abs workout and it really kicks my butt or should I say abs? LOL Either way I've got the kids to be at the moment and it's Mommy time now so that's how I'm gonna spend it. Then maybe a quick shower and bed since I didn't sleep hardly a wink last night. Teething babies are hard to deal with but we'll make it though Matthew's teeth just like we did Whitney's.
Oh and one more thing before I go. I MUST behave myself this week cause the kids are going to their Grandparents' houses this weekend and Josh and I are going to be going out to eat at least once and he said something about having some drinks here at the house Friday night so I've gotta plan for that.
So here's my plan for that so far:
*Be good all Tuesday (1st day of WW week) through Friday and only use my daily points.
*Friday after the kids are gone do the complete body sculpting FRIM workout which should earn me around 8 activity points.
*Use those Friday's activity points for the drinks which I will have planned for carefully (haven't done that yet but I have an idea)
*Use my 35 weekly points (if needed) when we go out to eat (once or twice) on Saturday.
*Possibly workout again when we get home Saturday.
*And just for good measure; workout again on Sunday before going to pick the kids up.
I haven't completly got it all planned out but at least I've got a start and know that I need to have a plan and stick to it. I'm gonna prove to myself this week that you can eat out and have a few drinks and still lose weight.
Anyway, I better run and do this workout before one or both of the kids decide to wake up. I'll post my complete plan before Friday.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!!!

Sunday's and Monday's Journals (plus weigh-in)
Ok so I say this is gonna be my Sunday and Monday food journals but in fact it's gonna be a very condenced version of them cause it's 9pm and I still need to take a shower and clean up the kitchen from supper. So here's what you get;
SUNDAY 8/2
BREAKFAST: 4 points
LUNCH: 5 points
SUPPER: 8 points
SNACKS: 10 points
DAILY POINTS USED: 27
WEEKLY POINTS REMAINING: 19
MONDAY 8/3
BREAKFAST: 5 points
LUNCH: 4 points
SUPPER: 7 points
SNACKS: 17
DAILY POINTS USED: 29 (all)
WEEKLY POINTS USED: 4
WEEKLY POINTS REMAINING: 15
ACTIVITY POINTS EARNED: 4 (none used)
I earned the activity points by doing THE FIRM Hips and Thighs workout. It's killer but I can tell that my legs are getting stronger even if I have just kinda been doing it sporadically. I'm gonna try to get back on a good workout schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are about my best bet for getting to do anything so that's what I'm planning.
Ok so I weighed in this morning and I had lost 2.4 pounds!!!! That put me past my goal so I got my reward!! I ordered Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy. I'm a huge freak about that show. I've even decided that when I get to my goal I'm going to order a couple sets of Grey's Anatomy Scrubs.
Anyway, I've decided that I'm gonna do this 10 pounds at a time, cause 10 pounds doesn't overwhelm me. 10 pounds is totally doable!
Ok so I gotta run I've got a baby crying, which will wake the 2 year old which will equal an awful night for me.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!

I have been doing ok as far as I'm concerened. I will however admit that my snacking is getting out of hand but that is due to poor or no planning whatsoever. So that is something I will be working on starting right now. I already have my B-Fast, Lunch and most snacks planned out and ready to go to work with me tomorrow. It's going to be a busy day so I should be able to stay out of trouble.
On a lighter and happier note, I tired on my size 16 jeans tonight and I can pull them up, button and zip them!!! I couldn't do that a month ago. They are pretty snug and give me the dreadful muffintop but I can get the on again!!!! I think I'm going to start trying them on every Saturday night just to see if there is any difference. It will either excited me into staying on plan or it will disgust me into it. I'll take either, LOL.
Ok so it's bedtime for me. I'm going to dream of wearing a really cute swimsuit next summer. I'm gonna look so very hot!!
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!!!
