Last Day!

The last day of April, yay!  That means that my kids are almost out of school and mommy is off for the summer!  Working at the school sure does have its benefits :) 

Well, dieting could be better.  I just can't seem to lose anymore right now.  Platuea it is called....yuck.  Why can't I stall at my 5 lbs above my goal weight??  'Cuz that would be to easy! lol

I have started eating the Kellogg's Chocolate cereal and I love it!  Well, I don't like the chocolate chunks they put in there but the flakes are wonderful and it gives me my "chocolate fix" that I crave so often lol. 

Anyone a member at WW???  I am and in shock that it closed.  If you were a member, sending big hugs your way!

Still Around

This weekend was a bummer.  We were supposed to go out of town but Emily became very sick Friday afternoon.  She began throwing up, then Saturday it turned into throwing up and diarreah (sp), and it continued into Sunday morning.  After giving her a suppository she still was throwing up so we took her to the ER where they hooked her up to I.V. and pumped lots of fluids into her little body.  Her blood sugar was also low so they gave her some extra sugar too (lol, she was loving that) and she slowly but surely became herself again.  Thank goodness!  So today we went to the Dr. for a follow up visit and I swear, why does the counter help have to be so damn bitchy?  I mean, this gal was chewing me out over their mistake!!!  Ugh, I think today will be the last time I visit that place.  Anywho, he said she can still run fever for up to 10 days, and still get the throwing up thingys again, not what I wanted to hear, I can tell ya that!  We have testing at school this week and I am not sure she can sit through it!  She has been so sick  for days now, she looks better but is very weak!

Well, enough of that :)  I am still hanging in there on my diet, after all the stress this weekend I couldn't eat lol.  I need to start walking again, I really haven't been exercising at all and I really need to start back.  Walking makes me feel so good about myself.  Summer is around the corner and I need to get these little bumpies out of my legs before I go trapsing around in a suit! lol

Let's Play Catch Up!

Although I have not had the time to post, I am still sticking to my diet.  In fact, I am doing great!

I put on a pair of my jeans the other day and had to take them off because they were too big, they would not stay up on my waist line!  Yay me!!

Things are a little stressful around here right now so I may not be back on for a couple of weeks.  I have a lot going on with work and our PTA is hosting the annual Walk-a-Thon and we don't have any support from our PTA President so my time is very slim right now. 

Have a super day!

Busy!

Whew, what a weekend so far!  I have cleaned all week, mainly on the kids rooms, going through toys and clothes.  That is a chore all in itself!  So, today I decided to tackle my room .  I have been in that room pretty much all day and I still have work to do!  Boy, that tells you a lot about me eh? lol  Well, I have put off my room since no one ever goes in there but us so it was pretty bad.  Mainly piled up with clothes, that no longer fit.  Why do I want to keep clothes that I have grown out of I ask?  Do I plan on gaining back 30 lbs just so I can wear them?  I think not!  So, they are now in a bag ready to go to our local women's shelter, they can use them. 

I also have a lot of stuff under my bed, not junk, but stuff that I don't want in my storage building.  I have the leaf to my table under there, which I plan on putting with my table tomorrow to accomodate my family that is coming over for New Years :).  I also have a very nice coffee table under there too.  I don't use it because it has sharp corners and well, although my kids are getting older, they still play in my living room alot and I don't want them hitting their heads or any other body part on it, so instead I use my round coffee table.  Then let's see, I have a TiVo under there, a couple of boxes of my kids artwork from school and maybe a couple of boxes of shoes, I can't remember.  I also cleaned every surface and then went a bit further and washed my bedroom walls!  So, I got a lot done in there and I can't wait to crawl into my bed and crash!

My diet for the last couple of days...good but could have been better lol.  I did eat some homemade stuff from my aunt in MN, I look forward to it every year so when the package arrived, I dug in! lol  Not too much though, just enough to satisfy me.  I will be walking tomorrow since the rain has finally stopped!  Geeze, I know we need the rain but goodness, I am feeling like we are sinking here!

Have a great night everyone!

Made it through Christmas...

Without eating everything in sight! lol  I did rather well with all the blessings of food around us.  I made good choices and will be rewarded for them I know.  I am not saying that I was a saint and didn't go off my diet, I did eat some goodies, who could resist!  But, it was different for me than any other year, I didn't eat to just be eating.  I ate some select choices and only had a small portion :).  I am pretty proud of myself.

Now, to make it through New Years.  I usually don't eat a bunch during that time but, it is cold and there isn't much to do execpt be in the house, all the cleaning is done, my MIL is coming to town this weekend so food will be surrounding me.  I can do it though, I did good up to this point.

Resolutions anyone?  Well, I did something different last year, I didn't make any resolutions and I have to say, I did better with everything than any year before.  I usually make a list of 10 things I need to work on/improve and it was always such a let down because I never accomplished anything to the extent I wanted to.  So, by not making and "actual" list, I went by my mental list and made more headway than ever before.   I became closer with God, I became closer with my children, my husband, I lost more weight this last year than ever before, and found an inner strenght I didn't know I had.  I owe it all to NOT having a new years resolutions list.  I am not saying for anyone not to make a list, I just tried it and it worked for me .

The Sickies

Ok, I am going on day 6 of being sick and I am sick of it!  It started off as a headache, then progressed into a sore throat then on to a more serious sickness, the flu!  And right here at Christmas time when I have sooo much to do!

I can say that being sick has stopped me from eating all the holiday goodies that are everywhere I go lol.  I put on a pair of my jeans yesterday and they are so loose, I think maybe I need some new clothes! 

Hope everyone has a super day!

Starting new with...

a new blog! lol  I don't have time to mess with graphics and to update everyday anymore like I used to, I am just way to busy so I thought I would give this a try .

I have done great with my diet since July.  I have lost my weight gradually and that is key.  The hardest thing for me was learning a new way to eat, but by far the most beneficial part of my diet.  I have 35 lbs more to go before I hit my goal and I am just thrilled it is below 50!!! lol

Just wanted to add a new post to my new blog! Yay me!
