Before After

All moved in and ready to move!

We are all moved in to our new home and with all the horrible (and I mean HORRIBLE) eating we all did, I gained one pound, then lost it. My guess is my body isnt used to the crap we ate and it was a lot of water weight as well. My goal is to lose 10 pounds in 2 months. I am not working out at the gym anymore. We have a curves here in our new town, but thats about it. I have been keeping active with my kids at home since I am a new SAHM. I love being home, but it is taking some getting used to!

Chaos.. Chaos!

Life has been so busy these days. With our upcoming move, there doesnt seem to be enough time in the days. With all the chaos, I have still been eating good, keeping my water in take flowing and maintaining my weight loss. Nothing gained. Just staying steady. No complaints here though! I am not as 'obsessive' about the scale as I once was, but once a week, I will step on the scale to check on my status. My guess is with the move near, and all the wallpaper removal, painting, ripping up carpet, staining wood floors, etc.. the I may just lose these last few pounds before I know it. Wouldnt that be awesome?!

Ate crappy yesterday, but I am DOWN!

How weird is that? I went to a company picnic yesterday and right when I thought I would be UP a couple of pounds by the massive plate of nachos that I ate (LOL!), I get on the scale and WALAH... I am DOWN almost 2 lbs. WOOT! Maybe it was my water intake yesterday. Maybe it was the chaos with chasing my kiddos around. Maybe it was pure luck. Who cares? I am down and thats all that matters!

Changed my goal!

I decided to change my final goal to 145 lbs! I am so close. I have been doing great and this is my motivation to getting these last few lbs off. I have done great, even though I havent had a chance to get to the gym. Starting Monday, I will be back in it ful time. Im ready! I am excited! Lots of things happening with me and I havent had too much time to think about food, so that is great! I am keeping my mind occupied and that helps a lot. Coming late July, we will be moving in to our new house, taking down wallpaper, painting, moving stuff in, carpeting, etc... so that will burn off more calories than any machine will. Woot!

Doing great!

The kids and I flew to TX for a week and that was awesome. I did gain 3 pounds, but it was gone when I got home, and then some. I havent been working out because I have been home with the kids, but I have been keeping plenty busy around the house, chasing the kids, watching what I eat, NOT eating past 6PM and keeping up my water in take. When I was in TX, my mother gave me some money and I went to Ross and bought a ton of clothes. It was so nice to shop in the Junior department and buy the cute clothes. I had a whole suitcase packed with goodies when we flew home. I hope everyone is doing well! Happy Sunday!

Busy Bee!

I swear. I never can seem to catch a free moment these days. I would think that by being home, I would accomplish more. Nope. I am busier now than I was when I was working. Its ok though. I get to be around my babies and that is plenty entertaining and not to mention helping keep me active! The kids and I are in Texas this week visiting vamily. Its HOT here. I bought a swim suit. I havent had one in YEARS! Im scared yet excited to put it on. Nothing fancy.. Just a tankini. Eating has been great! Im staying focused and busy. Busy being my key word here. LOL! Hope you all are doing fantastic!

Was up; but DOWN again!

Who knew that bridal shower food and AF would bring on 3 lbs of water weight gain? Blech! I was up 3 lbs, but its is gone and took a friendly pound with it when it exited the premises. LOL! I feel fantastic! The closet is getting a tad bare but that is ok! I have some gift cards for clothes and I plan on using them when the kids and I fly to TX at the end of May. I am looking forward to wearing my new capris that mom bought me. They are so cute! I love rewards!

Going... Going... POOF!

The strictness I have put on myself has been paying off! I need to take my measurements this weekend because none of my clothes are fitting, which is a good thing! I feel great! I am wearing a skirt today that I havent wore in a long time. I feel cute today. LOL! I decided to take the day off from the gym today and get my babies ready for daycare. Seeing their smiles and feeling their hugs make the day go by so much better!

Tonight, we have family fun night at the school with swimming and pizza. Tucker will love this! Tomorrow, I am hitting the gym in the morning, then heading to my March of Dimes walk right after that. I may take the kids and push them in the stroller and get myself a nice upper body work out.

Hope you all have a great Friday! MWAH!

Whoop! Shoop! Yad'a'daaa!!

I have slacked in the blogging area on my weight blog. LOL! I have been swamped at my website at www.mommygoggles.com and having fun at it. I am here and there and have been checking in when I can. Its amazing how little time there is during the days anymore. Blech!

17 days until my 8 week vacation. WOOHOO! I am ready to be off work with the kids. I am travelling to Florida and when I get back, the kids and I are flying to Texas to see my family. I am excited and ready to see everyone!

I have been working out on a daily basis and maintaining my weight loss and losing a little here and there. I went to Ohio to see a good friend this past weekend and gained 3.8 lbs, but when I weighed in this morning, it was gone, and some to spare. WOOT! I feel great! I look better. I feel better! I have more energy than before. The weather is starting to cooperate and that is great! Hopefully the weather will be better and stay that way since we have our annual March for Babies walk this Saturday. I am excited about that walk. I do it every year!

Fruitful Findings

I hate being sick. I HATE being sick. Did I mention that I hate being sick?

I went to the dr yesterday and what do ya know... he said I had bronchitis. Ya think? Some medical professinals never seem to amaze me. LOL! While I was there, he peeked in my ears and said that they were clogged. Huh? LOL! The nurse flushed my ears. If you haven't had this pleasure, I suggest it. It was weird, yet soothing. I could have lived without the wacky bbbbzzzzzz noise in my head after that, but I did seem to hear better. Who would'a thunk?

The scale is staying steady, so that's nice. I have been back in the gym (with exception of Friday since I couldn't breath). I have noticed a dramatic difference in my mind and body since I got back in action. Cat and I are going to work out in our old team fashion like we were doing before her DH's job hours changed. Now that they are back, our team is back. WOOHOO! Monday morning, 6:00am, our team will reunite. LOL! We should be able to make our evening work outs as well at least once a week like we were doing.

Housework burns calories, right? I am in that cleaning mood today. Why sit here and sap that I am sick... when I can clean?

I hope to get things cleaned and organized, then go downstairs and take the kids' pictures since I havent done that in a couple of months. I should be able to sneak in some since I have my handy dandy remote.
