    Melissa Day 55

    Alrighty... another day!  Another lost workout, another calorie eaten... where did my motivation go?  You would think all I could do is look at my baby and be motivated but my 30 years of bad habits just overpower any "fit fairy" voice in my head.  My sister and I came up with the "fat fairy" and the "fit fairy" as those voices in your head that tell you to eat or not to eat.  I need to ressurrect (sp?) those guys again! They sit on your shoulder.  Tammy's flight got delayed until Saturday... boo hoo... I will dedicate my 3 mile Leslie workout to you tomorrow Tammy! 

    Day 55

    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

    Melissa Day 54

    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 :)

    Melissa Day 52

    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! :)

    Day 52

    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!

    Melissa Day 51

    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 ;)

    Day 51

    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!

    Melissa Day 50

    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! :)

    Day .....

    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!

    Melissa Day 49

    Tommorrow I weigh in... Sorry Tammy, I don't think I lost 2.5 towards my 5 pound challenge goal.  I wasn't trying that hard though to be honest.  But, it is possible to lose my 5 next week if I sitck my nose to the grinder and workout 2x a day!  Oh.. and eat better too.  That is my challenge part!  I just realized that there are only 11days left in this contest which is crazy because it's gone by fast!  In one more week we will measure again because it will have been the second month.  Maybe we'll just wait to the very end.  My goal of 10pounds for this contest is still there, haven't made it yet.  Only a few more to go!  (Can you hear the sarcasm ;) )

    Melissa Day 48

    I did lots of exercise today but I didn't write down my food or get all of my water in.  I got to talk to Tammy and she's doing good!  I'm proud of her.  My child is screaming bloody murder right now because it's 11:30pm and he doesn't want to go to sleep.  Does the going to sleep on his own ever get easier?  We've been letting him cry himself to sleep for about 2mths now and ... I digress.  Anyway... that's all.  I'm too stressed to write anymore.

    Day 40-48

    So I just want to say that I want to forget last week except for Saturday :o)  We had our favorite people come down to visit!  The eating went downhill after the second day.  I guess I thought if I could not blog I could forget about the calories boy was I wrong.  Those pounds sure know how to creep up on you.  Melissa do not give up.  You did so good in Texas!  (Especially since I was setting a bad example.) I am now in NC hoping my Mom will kick my bootie back into shape.  I did not do anything on MOnday.  Tuesday and Wednesday, I went to my Nanny and Papa's house and had lemon pie.  (Just a little and boiled peanuts! OH how I love being from the south)  When we got back home I worked out for 40 minutes last night and did 6 miles today.  BOy am I tired.....but I sure do want to lose my 4 pounds. :o)  Melissa do not give up my dear!  YOu can do it....you have proved you could over and over again. DO not let all that stress get to you!  Pack Mason up and go on that walk.  IT will make you feel a lot better!  Coley Moley and I miss ya'll dearly and talk about you a lot down here!  :o) 

    Melissa Day 47

    Not too much here... I have definitely lost motivation with everything else going on with life.... baby, moving, garage sale, selling the boat... blah blah excuses.  I miss Tammy!  She really is a great motivator for me and I don't know what I'm going to do without her in Florida!  I might have to motivate myself!!!  Any tips on how to make that work after years of watching what I eat and life revolving around losing weight?

    Melissa Day 46

    Did ok today with food and exercise so I'm proud of myself. I bought the Biggest Loser Cardio Blast DVD and I'm excited to try it as something new and different.  I also found this little Biggest Loser magazine at Walgreens that has a plan and other info in it.  I still need to read that too.  Just some new things to keep me motivated!  I hope Tammy is doing well and her momma is keeping her in line!  Me and Mason miss you and Coley Moley!

    Melissa Day 40-45

    I've been in denile.  Home for all of these days and not doing a darned thing about it.  No blogging, no logging, and no jogging... Tammy being in Texas has been my excuse.  I've only walked outside twice in 5 days.  Me and Mason did go down and see her and Cole.  We really missed them.  I'm going to be so so sad when we move away because she really has been inspirational in my getting healty goals and of course such a wonderful friend.  She challenged me to lose 5lbs before she gets back in 2 wks (her challenge was 4lbs).  Sorry Tammy.. today not so good.  I have such a funky mental block when it comes to losing weight... one little slip up and uughh it's downhill from there.  I had a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate shake for lunch.  Cookies for snack and pizza (although homemade and less calories) for dinner.  Do you see any fruit or vegetables there?  My son is only getting older and my crappy habits are still staying horrible.  I don't want to be a bad role model but I seem to be lacking the tools to change my ways.  Or, maybe that's just what I tell myself.  I'll keep trying and tomorrow is a new day.... my token saying.... is it getting old for you yet?

    Melissa Day 33-39

    Feb 13 - Feb 19 we were in Florida house hunting.  We bought food to make our own, which I was proud of and only ate out 3 times, not including the airport.  I didn't however write down everything I ate.  While I was there, I weighed in and actually had lost 1.2 pounds which, again, I was proud of myself.  I didn't have readily available internet access and because I didn't have to blog everyday... it almost felt like cheat time or freebie time.  Because then I didn't work out everyday either.  We did walk one evening and it felt good!  But, that was it.  I had brought Leslie Sansone with me with good intentions.  But after hours of house hunting, vegging felt good.  Well, what little veg I could do with a 6mth old.
    February 19

    Day 38 and Day 39

    Day one eating out......I did great I think :o)  I had Chick Fil a for lunch instead of french fries I  had a fruit cup.  :o)  Dinner was a 5 ounce steak, salad, corn, and potato with butter on the side.  This morning was pretty good.....fresh fruit and 1 one biscuit with gravy.  Hopefully the rest of the week will go great.  I will not be on the computer much. where we are staying it cost 9 dollars to get on the internet :o(  You would think that the Embassy Suites could have given us free internet especially since we will be there for 3 weeks! 
    February 17

    Day 37

    Today has gotten away from me......I did not workout because we have been busy cleaning and packing.  Tomorrow Melissa will be back in town....she has lots of things to blog about!  As for me, I will be heading out in the next 30 minutes to go to Dallas.  Which will be one of my biggest challenges yet...eating out and being healthy about it!  Wish me luck!

    Day 35 and 36

    And the eating continues.... I really need to get a hold on it.  I will not go in to detail what I ate but if you look at my cal. intake you will notice a huge amount of worthless calories that I consumed.  Today should be better......we are back in our grove and packing up to go to Dallas.  I will be flying home for two weeks after spending a couple of days with Craig.  I am pretty sure while I am at my Mom's house, she will kick my bootie back in to shape.

    Day 34 Tammy's Blog

    Well I heard from Melissa today....She is doing great on the diet!  I think she is surprising herself!  I knew she could do it!  She is busy looking for a house in Florida :o)  I did horrible with the eating today.  My family wanted Sonic and sure enough I went and bought myself a hamburger and tater tots.  I could not eat the whole thing because it was making me sick.  I do not know if it was my body reacting to the fat or if it was my head telling me how many calories I was putting in my body.  I did go out for a 2 mile walk with Coley Moley.  We walked around our neighborhood!  It was beautiful outside 60 degrees :o)
