OKay, so let me just start off by saying I have a teenager,boy (almost 15), a toddler,girl (almost 3) and a 4 month old, girl. It is by far my teenager who is going to cause me to have a drinking problem before he is 18. Why is it they think they know everything and we are stupid? Even after you prove them wrong time and time again. I'm a stress eater and I am scared he is going to stress me to putting on more weight. Oh Lord I need some devine intervention. I will just keep telling myself "I was a teenager once, I made it and so did my mom" If he just wasn't so darn girl crazy. I have girls showing up at my house late at night wanting to know if he can come ouside...HELLO....NO! and where are your parents? I am to young to be a grandma. Oh Lord help me, I wish they would explain this stage to you before they wheel you out of the maternity ward so you can start practicing for the teenage years long before they get here! On the flip side ( always trying to find the silver lining) I will be well prepared for my daughters when they get to be this age, provided I live through next 3 with my son
Okay so enough of all that, on the weight side I'm stuck in a stand off with my scale and neither one of us is budging. It may be from TOM.
Hope everyone has a great day and thanks for letting me vent!
The scale that is! I lost 5 lbs since the last time I blogged. I am so happy!!! I should explain that it is really hard for me to lose right now because in April after I had my 3rd baby I developed pulminary embolisms in both my lungs and have been put on this blood thinner called Warfarin for 6 months. Well most people who take this drug gain weight so I have been digging my heels not to gain. If any of you have been on it, you know it is nasty stuff, it was origanilly made as an additive for rat posion (scary) it has some icky side effects, but it saved my life, literally. The doctor said if I would have waited one more day to go to the hospital I would have died. Crazy huh?
So anyway I am so freaking happy to see that weight loss! i think I will celebrate by taking my kids for a walk at the canal and maybe rent a family bike.
I hope to blog more often but with a teenager, toddler and infant sometimes it's really hard. Have a great day everyone!
So I haven't blogged in awhile but I have still been here lurking and reading everyone elses blogs. I haven't lost any lbs but I am losing inches. I'm still exercising 3 to 4 days a week doing the Biggest Loser workout which is still kicking my butt! I'm a little sad that the scale isn't moving but i am totally psyched about my measurments getting smaller. I am starting to fit back into my 3rd baby, pre preggo clothes. This makes me happy considering I had just bought all new summer clothes about this time last year and then WHAM! I got pregnant again. (it was my husbands fault, he didn't uphold his end of the bargin) but it is a blessing to add a new baby to our lives. Any way i digress. I have been totally watching what I eat and counting calories so I am hoping to lose 26 lbs by my wedding anniversary in Oct. That would put me in onderland again yeah!! Have a great day!
Diet and exercise do really work! Amazing how people always say "eat right and exercise and you wil lose weight" they are right. Since having my 3rd child April 7th I have lost 35 lbs. I still have a ways to go ( I got a little carried eatin with my last pregnancy) but I am so excited.
I just bought this Biggest loser workout video yesterday, and let me tell you it kicked my butt. In fact my butt hurts right now. But it's a good hurt :o) Have a great weekend!
So yesterday I went to Chuck E Cheese with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Let me tell you she looked great! She had lost 46 pounds, I didn't even recognize her. It totally inspired me to get going. I walked 2 miles this morning and am going to walk on the treadmill tonight. I've been watching what I eat, so hopefully the scale will move soon. I wonder if there will ever be a day when I don't constently think about losing weight or being fat or food. Is it possible to live like that without it being there? I hope so!
Well, yesterday I was walking into Sam's club with my family, Husband Beto, son Ian, daughters Chloe and Ellie. I got a good look at myself in the door window walking in and to tell you the truth I wasn't sure who that fat person was. I know I've had 2 babies in the last 2 and half years but come on... I realize that just 8weeks ago I gave birth but still come on... Why can't I be like all those superstars who have babies and sometimes twins and come out of the hospital looking thinner than before they got pregnant? Ok so it's not going to happen and I have to take some fast hard action and reign in my fat before it over takes my life. Time to get out the walking shoes and toss out the junk food! I can do it!!
