Just not

Feeling it these days, I have been weighing and well it's not that great...I am up don't know how much...but right now I am done.

I have been sick for a week, so my eating has not been that good. I am not in the mood to cook, my hubby has been VERY busy and will be for a while so making meals is not fun for 4 children who can be picky and don't care what they eat.

I have worked out the last 2 days a little slower than normal. I ran today since my head was not pounding, and that felt good, then I ate a homemade egg macmuffin type of food, and a grapefruit and a glass of almond milk. It was yummy now I am soooo full.

I am hoping to kick this feeling of giving up soon, because I don't like the way it's making me feel....

Any ideas to help me kick the 'I give up', really it's not worth it attitude!!! HELP!

Staying the same

Week 21 weight is 195.4 loss for the week 1.4 lbs =Total gone 19.6

Week 22 weight is 194.6 loss for the week is 0.8 = total gone 20.4

Week 23 weight is 194.6 loss for the week is 0.0 = total gone 20.4

I am totally ok with nothing lost this week, as long as it wasn't an increase it was all good. I have had a lot of birthday again, and more to come this weekend. We are having friends and family over to celebrate birthday in Jan and Feb and a house warming! So it's going to be a busy weekend. But since I will be cleaning and getting food ready, there won't be much chance of me over eating since I usually am not in the mood for what I make after spending time making it! Good and bad!

Can't wait to get down more lbs, but am just going to keep taking it one day at a time and know that I am worth it!!

Had a dream the other night that I was pregnant and it wasn't not funny at all!! I have 4 wonderful children and 5 would be a lot. But whatever happens, I just want to be down a lot more weight and not gain anymore again!!! I am not pregnant, but those dreams are scary that is for sure!!

mini eggs

Well I bought a bag and well really shouldn't have!!!! My princess and I went and saw the Princess and the Frog this weekend, so cute! Some scary parts but she was ok with it all. We talked after...

I bought them for the movie to share with our friends that we went with and did, but still have a lot left! Oh well. Today was an interesting day and tonight I am going to do my work out since this morning was really busy. But that's ok, there is a lot of TV that I can watch tonight...Looking forward to it all....

Hope you guys have a better Monday then I have had!!

Biggest Loser

So I watched it this morning while doing chores and laundry ect. It was ok. I don't know how good it is to lose 20+ pounds in 1 week...that is NUTS!!!!!! I know they have a lot to lose and they work out full time. Man though, it's crazy. I may or may not continue with it. I don't like taking on too much TV as it is I watch enough.

I ran this morning 2nd day of week 2. It was run for 1.5 min and walk for 2 min, well the walking was easy, I was good with the running until about 1.15 mins then it was harder. I have NEVER in my life enjoyed running. I am not enjoying per-say but not hating it either. I just turn on CSI right now and go. I know it will be good for me, I know I will do what I have to to get the body I want. I know it will all be good...just getting there.

It's a journey and well I am in it for the long haul, I am just hoping and praying the scale is good to me. Today I have been really good at eating. I am going to meal plan tonight for the next week while we are moving...I know we will eat out at least 1 or 2 times...but will make it healthy choices...or SMALL portions... I am going to keep up the work outs, and tonight I am going to watch TV while doing the treadmill again tonight. I need to have a positive tomorrow! Even with 'Aunt Flow' visiting, I will over come it!!!!!

Wishing you luck today!!

Starting off the new year

So yesterday I did the running thing and some hot bod it was good. I am going to be able to run, I can feel it, even if it's not my fav thing to do. I have been watching Vampire Diaries while I am in the basement working out. I pvred them while they were on and didn't watch them, now I am totally sucked in!! Oh well I am done with those and now on to the CSI's that I missed during the year. I love watching TV and it keeps me working out so it all works out.

Today I did the elliptical and the wii new EA Active both went well. Then I packed more yesterday and today. I can't believe how much STUFF we have. I mean there are 6 people in the family so that counts for a lot...but REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

This year for my children's birthday's ect, I am going to spend no more that $20 on a few little gifts like barbies or lego, so something that has a lot of uses, if that makes sense, and then give them dates like swimming or movies or zoo, or something fun we can do as a family, that they can cash in....I think that would be better than more stuff!

For hubby I am going to give him dates and things that he needs like for the house or something....

And me I want to do rock climbing or belly dancing next fall. And a photography class. That would be fun!! No more stuff, I am going to think twice about inviting more stuff into the house and think do I need it and love it to have it FOREVER!!

Ok enough about the STUFF!! Back to have fun with the kids before the babe's wakes up!

HAPPY Jan 2nd Hope everyone is staying on TRACK!

Weight in!!

Week 15 weight is 201.2

Week 16 weight is 201

Week 17 weight is 202 +1 lbs

So not great, but I am not going to stress about it...just keep going. I am pre 'Aunt Flows' visit so I am ok with it. I am feeling the stress again about moving a little. I pack 2 or 4 boxes a day and still have SOOO much to go.

I am happy that I am losing for the most part. This next year especially once we are in the new house and settled things will get better. Right now I am just trying not to shop and eat what we have in the house so we don't have to move it, which is good, but not so good, I have a lot of not such great foods, fast convenient foods, so not the best when I am trying to lose weight. But that's ok, they will be gone and not bought again in the new house. It will be a fresh start for the new house with better, healthier foods and more room to see the foods we have in the house!! I am trying to limit portions so I don't feel like crap, I am drinking tons of water, and working out and excited about the new year and the new house and the new me!!!

Oh what a year!!!

Happy New Year!! 2010 is gonna be a good one!

Hot Bod in a Box

so today I was not really feeling it today, a little cranky and the kids are just in my way! I am sure those who have kids have NEVER felt that feeling before!

So I took a look and did some of the moves from Jillian's little box, and it's going to be great. She has some circuit workouts and then a ton of other other different exercises that I NEVER have seen before! All in all I think it will be great and am excited to keep using it. I know this is the year to have my hot bod! And it's going to happen slowly but shirley!!

New Year things I am going to do!!!

1. Meal Planning, save times, energy and money....just need to put in a few minutes each week to get it going, and once we are in the new house I have to make it happen to stay organized. It will also help lose weight if I know what I am eating!!

2. Work on my pictures once a week, I love taking them and never find time to deal with the millions I have.

3. Get a work space organized so I can do scrapbooking and card making ect...

4. Work out 5-6 times a week with a plan, and then do lots of visits to the park and out side with the kids.

5. Enjoy some me time, reading, relaxing, out with the girls or hubby.

Hope you all have a great New Years and have your goals ready to work on and sick with them...Remember it takes 21 days to form a habit!! Good luck!
