Yep, I did it, down 10 pounds since August 4th…finally! It’s nice to finally be out of the 240’s now…I weighed in at 239.8…barely out of the 40’s, but I’m taking it I have noticed a pattern with my weight history though  it seems as if every 4th weigh in, I “gain”..hmmmmmm…Interesting. Oh well, the end result is what’s most important! Going to bed early tonight, I’m pooped. Have a great night everyone!!! 

I cannot believe all the running around I have been doing lately!It’s the weekend and I’m STILL running! Today, Andria has singing lessons at 1:30, then she has a sleepover birthday party at 4:00. I still have grocery shopping to do which HAS to be done today or else I will get way too off program My house looks as if a tornado came through it TWICE, and I have YET to mop my kitchen floor with my new handy dandy Mr. Clean magic eraser mop that I bought at Tarjay yesterday If this thing works like it does on my walls ( I have a 3 yr old artist who decided to use my walls as an art easel ), my floors will look good as new!!! Which is a good thing because it looks disgusting 

Got creative this morning with my oatmeal. One of my favorites in the morning is a packet of the Quaker Weight Control Banana bread oatmeal w/ 1/2 of banana sliced into it…SO yummy and filling!!!! Well, like I said earlier, I need to go grocery shopping because I am running out of “stuff” including bananas SO instead of bananas, I diced up 1/2 an apple and added some cinnamon to it,  but now it tastes like apple cinnamon oatmeal The apple and cinnamon TOTALLY took away the banana bread flavor. BUT, it is still yummy and it will fill me til lunch time.

Hope everyone has a good weekend! 

Like my new slogan? Wouldn’t that be a GREAT T-shirt!  My husband always tells me I’m “vertically challenged” instead of just calling me “short” ( I’m only 5′1, btw ) so I thought…I’m not only vertically challenged, I’m horizontally challenged as well!  I always hated the…”you’re not fat, you’re pleasantly plump” ….HATE the plump part…sounds like a happy ball park frank  

Had a “not so good” week. Been battling a cold, it’s been raining most of the week so my walks have been almost non existant this week and for some reason, just when I started to “like” drinking water, it’s not so appetizing when you have a cold. The scale showed me up this week by 1.6 pounds. It was expected though. My whole schedule was off but these things happen all the time. It’s called “life”. Except this time, I’m getting back on track. Usually by this time I am so discouraged that this would be the week I would be giving up. Not this time, no way. Everything is finally back to “normal” ( except for the weather, but I will now have to “force” myself to dust off that recumbent bike and get new batteries for the timer )…husband is back on the road after being home this weekend, which is SO nice…I just wished I had felt better. That’s ok, this cold should be gone by the time he comes home and we can have a little more fun this time

Well, off to read my buddy blogs…have a GREAT evening everyone!

I think I’m coming down with little miss germie’s cold aka my 3 yr old DD. I felt great earlier today. Did my 2 mile walk, had a great lunch, I even weighed in this morning and lost 1.4 lbs this weekThen about an hour after lunch, my sinuses started draining and just feeling yuck! Wonderful. So, took a nap today.

That’s not the only thing going on either. I think I pulled something during my walk today. Leave it to me to injure myself on a simple exercise like walking I did something to my hip I think. It started getting kind of sore about halfway through my walk. But, continued to worsen after that. It feels fine when I am sitting down but as soon as I stand up, OMG…I am limping like an old granny. *sigh* Hopefully the pain will lessen tomorrow. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow so I might take a rest day on exercising but on the other hand, I want to keep walking because it seems to get worse if I sit too long. Probably just pulled a muscle or something. I wish I could just rub that area but I have too much fat in the way

Hope everyone is having a better day than I did

Don’t know what THAT’s all about but man was I starving this morning! Had my coffee, and I was STILL hungry. Usually coffee suppresses my appetite in the am which is why I don’t eat breakfast until around 9:30-10am after my walk but this morning, I had oatmeal and 1/2 of banana and haven’t taken my 2 mile walk yet. I didn’t hit my target points last night so that might have a lot to do with it. I was only 2 pts short, but I earned 3 AP’s which would make 5 pts. I need to add and adjust my food journal to make sure I am eating enough. I’m not hungry during the day and feel very satisfied. Didn’t realize how much walking 2 miles a day boosts up the ’ol metabolism. Yay for me!!! As for my healthy 8’s ( WWer’s will know what I’m talking about ) I am getting in almost all of them. The oils I don’t think I’m getting in enough because I only cook with oil so it really doesn’t count because I don’t use enough. I should be taking a vitamin everyday but man…I HATE taking pills. I could use one more serving of milk, but other than that, I think I am doing pretty good! Well, need to get my big butt off this computer and go walk. Have a great day everyone! 

Where do I actually start? LOL….Dh comes home Thursday night. Grilled a steak for him and chicken for me, and hot dogs for the girls. Had a very nice evening. Next morning ( Friday), we decided to take the girls to the zoo and have a picnic there. It was supposed to be the “best weather” day out of the whole holiday weekend so we figured if we were going to do anything, we would do it that day so we decided the zoo ( since it’s the closest, about 5 min away..LOL ). Got to the zoo about 1pm. Left the zoo around 5pm. Decided to stop and get pizza on our way home since we had left over salad from the previous night. So, we are on our way to the pizza place, and we get to the intersection where Dh normally parks his truck when he has a trailor on the back. As we are waiting for the light to turn green, my Dh says to me…”where is my truck?”..I was like..what do you mean? I look over to where it’s “supposed” to be and sh*t you not, it was GONE!!! Of course, sheer panic sets in and just in shock. First thing comes to mind is that the truck was stolen…nope…second thought, impounded…yep! Apparently, what happened was, the property owner sold the property and apparently the “new” owner doesn’t want trucks parked on his property. SO, instead of giving my husband OR any other truck that decides to park there a heads up, he just has them towed. No signs, no note on the windshield, no call to the company to let Dh know he needs to move his truck, NADA. All this place is, is a strip mall with a grocery store, dollar store, hallmark store, ect. The strip mall is about DEAD except for the grocery store but where trucks park, is on the opposite end where NO ONE parks AND it’s infront of an abandoned building ( used to be a pharmacy store like CVS or something like that ). My Dh isn’t the only one who parks there. The previous owner didn’t care and the business owners never had a problem because it’s not blocking their business. Anyway, couldn’t do anything about it til this morning so Dh’s truck sat in truck jail all weekend long and bail cost us $600. The company paid up front, and is nice enough to let my Dh make payments out of his paycheck. I think my Dh was more embarrassed than anything because he just started with this company 2 weeks ago so you can only imagine how and what he was feeling all weekend long. BUT, they reassured him to not worry about it, that these things happen and there wasn’t anything he could do until Tuesday morning so they basically told him to enjoy the rest of the weekend. So, that’s what we did.

On top of all that, AF FINALLY came ( perfect timing of course ) and then of course getting the girls ready for their first day back to school today. BUT,  after all that, I pretty much stayed on program and got my 2 mile walks in, and lost 1.2 lbs this week. WOOHOO!!!!
