Sorry I haven't written in awhile.  It has been crazy.  We got home on Saturday and I totally collapsed in bed.  Sunday Craig's family came over for a visit.  Soooo no time to ourselves until Monday. :o(  We did finally see Mason and Melissa!  I can't believe in a couple of weeks we will be going through our journey living on different coasts :o(  We went for a long walk.   Melissa is such a trooper!  She was hobbling for the last lap and did not complain at all.  I did not do well with the eating today partly my fault.  I made a cake and it was soooo good. Don't you worry Melissa I am cutting you and Randy a piece tomorrow.  Off to sleep.....long day tomorrow!  Hubby will be flying until 10:00. 

Nothing much to say here... did pretty good today, feeling pretty good.  Getting ready to move is exciting and helps burn calories.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day outside and my family had a wonderful walk at the park.  The rest of the week looks nice and I'm excited about that too.  I can't believe this competition is over the day after tomorrow!  I'm excited to find out that we won ;) And to see how many inches we lost this past month.  Only two more blogging days! 

Day 56

.... can't remember what happened yesterday but I didn't blog or write down my calories or truly exercise for that matter... I did go shopping though.  That should count!

 

Day 57

Weighed in this morning and lost 2 pounds!  That, to be honest, seemed like a miracle to me considering the lack of tracking and exercising last week but hey.... I'll take it!  Today was pretty good since I was on my weight-loss-high and had a shot of motivation.  That always feels good!  I moved lots of boxes, walked around the mall and went for a 1mile walk with the dog.  Not too shabby!  OHHH!  I almost forgot what made me proud today... I went to mindlessly snack on ChexMix at the computer and realized what I was doing and put it away!!!  THAT IS HUGE FOR ME... to be aware of my eating.  And now Tammy is home and all is right in the world :)

Did not workout but I am packing :o)  Which is a chore in itself....why ole why do I pack more than I need..........  Eating well and about to wake Coley Moley up so he will sleep on the plane!  Will be home on Friday have to stay in Dallas for one more night!  I see you are committed to doing this reduction :o) Great because you know what would happen if you don't do it!!!!!  See you soon

Day 53 came and went as I went to bed very tired and chose not to blog.

 

Day 54 has been good.  I found out that my insurance will pay for my breast reduction and I'm so excited about that because then life will be easier with my baby and exercising once these $%&* boobs are off.  I thank them for the little milk they gave Mason but now they need to go so that I can be happier and skinnier.  I did do Leslie yesterday like my goal said, not the water though.  No exercising today but I did do lots of shopping so I think that counts.  Tammy comes home in 2 days and I can't wait to hang out with her and Coley :)

STOP READING THIS RIGHT NOW TAMMY!!!!  

 

Are there such things as free-to-eat-fat-days?  I started out ok actually but then it got worse and the yucky weather kept me inside again and my DVD player MUST be broken because.... it.... doesn't.... play.... Leslie.... for me.... on .... it's .... own like it should and then my hand must've been broken too because my butt didn't shake to a fun song like Tammy.  THen I had 2 cavities filled, PMS'd my way through an evening tiff with hubby because he is a man and doesn't understand so I decided to make my life and my mouth feel better with a McDonald's chocolate shake and oh some french fries too.  But does my heart feel better? No, of course not.  Are there pills to make the week before the . any better?  There are pills for everything so I would assume so.  Anyway, blah and yuck and here we go again.  This sore mouthed and headache from crying fatty is going to bed to dream of skinnier smaller boobed hip pain free days.....oh there is my child, crying again.  Please just fall asleep my cutie babe...

 

Darn it... I just read yesterday's goals and by golly did I forget I made those!  Ok, I am writing them on my post it right now and they will be a reminder ALLL DAY tomorrow!  I will complete them! :)

Lordy Lordy Lordy....you do know me huh!  NOt disappointment  I was exactly where you were when you went to Florida!  Crummy weather, no Melissa or Mason to work out with.  So I understand!  Mama and I walked around the neighborhood today. (IT was soooo beautiful today!)   Did eat at BOjangles today :o(  However usually I would eat there two or three times....this time I only went there once.  I weighed in on my Mama's scales and lost .6 pounds so since 11-19 when I originally went on my get fit kick I have lost 10.7 pounds....slowly but surely they are coming off.  20 more pounds and I will be happy to start trying for baby 2.  So maybe in 6 more months but we will see.  Melissa I hope you did better today!  :o)  We did something fun last night.  Our DVD player went crazy outside in Mama's garage.  So we decided to be Leslie.  We played music and took turns making up exercises.  One of the songs we worked out with was Baby Got Back......How appropriate!  :o)  Except I am not little in the middle!  I am big in the middle and I have lots of back!

Big Sunday at home.  My husband actually had the day off from work he had to do so we were leisurely today.  It was nice.  But then the calories go up and the workouts go down.  It was VERY windy today so no walks outside.  We did manage a little shopping and I did chores around the house which felt good.  But I coulda woulda shoulda done Leslie since we were homebound but I honestly don't know where the time went and before I knew it the day was over.  Crazy how time flies.  Okay... baby steps!  Tomorrows goals are 1. to drink all of my #$&* water because I haven't in FOREVER!!!! and 2. to do Leslie 3miler ( I have to start small Tammy because it's been a while and I don't want to pass out... ) I can hear your dissappointment through the internet cables, but now it's passed and you're proud that I'm doing SOMETHING!!!!  love you ;)

Going crazy!!!! My son has gotten in a rotten habit of waking up at 2:00 in the morning and then again at 5 and again at 6.  Goodness this mama needs some sleep.  I do not know how you do it Melissa!  You can be up all night and go go go in the day time!!!!!!  What an awesome Mama!  Well let's see....Did great at breakfast worked out for a mile....went to church......ate a home made burger pretzels and dip.......instead of a birthday cake (Happy birthday to my Mama) I had a cookie and now I am going to workout with my Mama.  3 more miles!!!!! Hope you all had a great day....Sorry I was so out of it when I called you today Melissa!  Give Mason Kisses from me!

Whew I'm tired! Weighed in and I'm up .6... sorry Tammy!  But I tracked my food today and I worked my garage sale for 7 hours then I took the dog for a half hour walk and celebrated with a yummy salad dinner.  And a pizookie (pizza cookie with ice cream) that 4 of us split.  Oh my god was it worth the calories. SOOOO yummy.  Only 6 more days for Tammy and Cole to come home! :)

Still doing good :O)  WEnt shopping today at the outlet mall so we got a lot of walking in. ( I am waiting for Craig to cancel my credit card :O)   Still eating o.k. could do better though.  Did not work out tonight because my brother and his cutie batootie came over. Tomorrow we will work out.  HOpefully I have lost my 2 pounds.  Melissa you can do it!  Kiss Mason for me!  I hope you made lots of money from the yard sale!
