So I am up this week, but that's okay. I know it will come I know it will.

Week 8 weight 205.4 -1.0

Week 9 weight 206.4 + 1.0

Not bad considering the week I have had and getting ready for this house to show ect.

Selling a home is hard work and it's only been a couple days, we have had 4 showings in the last 24 hours. Went up yesterday morning. Tomorrow we have 3 already, so I pray it will sell really fast. Because of the stress I am not sleeping at 3 am....

OH well.

Hope everyone is doing well, I know a few of the blogs I read are having some losses and that is so exciting for them! Go Girls!

cleaning and more cleaning

So our house is now going up tomorrow. I have re cleaned 2 of the 3 bathrooms, since I still have to shower ect, I figure the last one will be done tomorrow morning. I have done the basement, the kitchen except the floor which I will do tomorrow. All rooms are a go....

I have gotten back to working out and it feels great. I missed it, but am still not 'feeling' the work outs. I am doing them because they are good for me to do and I know I need to do them. But I am just doing the motions. I am not a fan of lunges, they are the end of me in the EA active but I do them...

The other day a friend said my butt was looking smaller and I guess it's all those lunges!

Oh and on EA active yesterday they made me run 6 times around the track...I don't run and 3 laps was good enough, but I did it and I survived!!

Have a great Tuesday!

SUPER BUSY WEEK!!!

So I have not worked out since Saturday, and I love to work out so much and do miss it. But I have been getting my house clean and ready for pictures and it's a lot of work!!!!

We are selling our home and it will be our 1st one ever. When we were 1st married we had 2 rentals and then moved into our home which we built. Now we have out grown it with 4 children and are moving up! But it's been a lot of work to declutter and get things hidden and cleaned and pretty...not saying that it wasn't clean and nice before because I do try to keep a clean tidy home. But this is the mother load of all cleaning and getting rid! So I have been so busy cleaning and working out by doing house stuff I haven't had a chance to really work out. I miss it! But will be back in a day when the house is FINALLY cleaned up....oh the joys.

The sign just went up in our yard. Scary! Anyone else ever sold a house? I am nervous and stressed and am going to try not to eat like crap because it's easier....and pray I don't hold on to the pounds because of stress.

Don't you hate it when you are stressed and trying to lose and well the pounds just stay. I am going to make sure I find time to relax so I don't feel too stressed out and working out will help with relaxing for me!

Oh the joys of life and the good times. Can't wait it's all going to be okay! Cross your fingers that our house is sold fast and we don't have to stress about it!!

Thank to those who are going to try with me to lose a pound a week! Let me know how it's going. I can't wait to be in the 1's soon. Let's do it ladies!

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.
