Not a bad week, I guess I am making up for the + 2 That I had a couple weeks ago. I would love to be down to 205 which is still my mini goal.

I have not been working out as hard and am just tired...

I have been eating less and trying to eat every 3 hours and seeing if that will help!

Is there anyone else who reads my blog that is tired?? I don't mean the normal tired, I mean exhausted and don't know why? I am not prego, I am not low on iron says the blood test. I do chase after 4 children and run a home. But I am so tired....What do you do when you get tired, what's a good way to get going again.

Hope everyone is having a good one, enjoy the long weekend....

Happy Thanksgiving

New Week

Well, It has gone from wonderful 'Indian Summer' to brutal cold, okay well I am sure it could be much worse!! But when you go from +30 celsius to +1 or 0, it's cold!

I started the week out good burning 580 and 180 bad with math 760

Had half and orange and a slim fast shake. I love the chocolate one and some times don't feel like doing breakfast...

Did pretty good this weekend, had dinner at my mom's and it was so yummy, but didn't finish so I gave it to my hubby, even though I so wanted to eat it all up! I was proud to pass it on.

Started to really work on the house again over the weekend...get some things packed up and cleaned up and rearrange.

We are currently and I don't know if I have mentioned before building our dream home and well we have to sell our house we are in now soon....I am totally excited and a little stressed with 4 monkeys it's hard to keep the house totally tidy and CLEAN all the time. Especially with an 8 month old that crawls and sloppers good old teeth on the hard wood...and a 2 year old who is just as messy sometimes! OH well it's all good!!

Have a great week.

So I did go up again and am going back down again....

Sweets and why on earth do we have to crave them??? In this article it says

"The underlying causes of cravings are still pretty poorly understood," says Cheryl Gilhooly, senior research dietitian at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. The explanation appears to be a complex web of biology and emotion. One thing, however, is certain: "In our research, we've looked at characteristics of foods craved, and it has to do with calories. A combination of fat and carbohydrates is the defining characteristic."

I wish that someone would figure it out!! Ok, I know we have troubles with them, I know I do ie my chocolate chips...well I have not touched them in 5 days. That is good, the oreos are still in the cupboard. And the ice cream I did have a small cone last night after dinner with the children. But I didn't eat more ice cream or chips and salsa, or popcorn after 9 last night, even though I was STARVING. I just held my DH's hand and watch Heros with him. I was going to work out last night again, but really didn't feel up to it. It was too much and I am starting to feel it and don't want my workouts to be crap. I did EA Active today, that was good 250 cals gone! I will get to a work out tonight to watch Greys. I did the floors and chased the children around. I do not like doing floors at all....but they really needed to be done!!

Good luck to all those who are on the journey to lose a little or a lot. It's hard work, but am grateful for the support of others who are in the same place that I am.

93 Days

So last night I worked out and burned another 800+ calories, since my hubby was busy working any way, I wanted to watch TV, so I worked out while doing so. It was nice. I burned over 1400 yesterday and today I have done over 900 so far, if hubby has to work again tonight I will be working out again. I don't feel it at all right now my pants still fit the same, I wish it would just happen faster....

Tonight we went for a family bike ride which was good, to get out of the house. Now I am starving and would love some ice cream...but think I will pass and if I am still hungry I will keep busy with the other million things I have to do and get some water!

Have a good night!

Back in the game

Ok, so my hubby was really busy this weekend and will be REALLY busy this week. We are going to miss him around here!

So 94 days left in the year. This has been talked about on some of the other blogs I read!

94 reasons to keep going and not give up, I am going to slowly work on this list....

1. mini chocolates taste really good, but is it worth a 2 lbs gain in a week...ok I didn't eat that many, there were some other issues, but really is it worth it....

2. food in small amounts is still good, even if you don't eat a ton and get your taste in that is enough, something I have to learn, a little can go a long way and eat is slowly...slowly and enjoy EVERY BIT And TASTE!!

3. Working out feels so good, I feel like a million bucks after doing it, so I know it's good for me.

4. I have a lot of 'crap' tv that I like to watch and can only watch these shows while doing something good for myself...to name a few remember I did say 'crap' tv. 90210, One Tree Hill, Melrose place, Criminal Minds, CSI LA and NY, Gossip Girl, Mentalist, Vampire Dairies, Grey's, and a few more! So I am pretty much covered for 45 mins or more a day of TV to watch while working my butt off!!

5. My hubby of course is the #1 reason to get these last 94 days and make them count!!

6. For Christmas we (crossed fingers) will be in our new home and well being a size smaller would be HUGE!! or smaller I guess! *smile*

7. I would love some new clothes for Christmas that make me look like I should and to feel better.

8. My baby turns 1 in Jan and to be smaller than I was when I got pregnant would BE FANTASTIC...which mean I have to get to 190. Which is more than doable...right ladies.

9. I have 4 babe's that I love so much and want them to know it's important to work hard and not eat tons of crap...healthy eating healthy body image.

10. I am important so I have to be serious and take my life into my own hands and take care, because no one else is going to do it for me. I know with the support of fellow weight loss bloggers I can and will succeed!

11...to come~

No weigh in

I totally forgot, and am a little bloated and didn't want to feel 'down' so I am going to do it next week and hopefully be back to 100%, I have not been feelin it in my workouts the past few days. I have been sleeping a lot and wanting more. No I am not pregnant if that is what you are thinking.

Need to get back on track, need to feel better, need to do it and remember what it has felt like losing!

Remember, remember, remember!!!! I can do it. Just need a little break like my friend funny how we can kind of feel the same....weird! Who would have though, what I have been thinking is already written, Thanks Jenn!

P.S. I am still working out, just not as hard, I have dropped from incline 15 to 10 on treadmill, and 4.1 to 3.8, I know still pretty good, but I want to be back in the next week....And EA Active is still happening. I have been gardening too, since the weather has been so HOT! maybe that is why I am not feeling 100% right now, too much heat!

100 days left

So I have been at a few 'friends' blogs and there is 1oo days left in the year, I can't believe it at all....wow! Where does the year go, oh right taking care of the childrens!

So my goals are:

1) to work out EA Active 4 times a week

2) to do eliptical 4 times

3) to do treadmill 4 times a week

4) cut back on the chocolate chips, okay get rid of them already I know, I know shouldn't have bought them in the 1st place, but I bought them for my kids for muffins and cookies....right!

Good luck to all!
