the mom factor

My B day was really nice this year. My kids were awesome and my cake rocked! Although I gained 2.5 lbs over the long weekend (I already lost 1.5 of it by this am) but ya know.... It is no biggie because I am really working hard and I will hit my next mini goal by the end of the month ( to get <241). Back to the B Day.... If anyone is reading this, I welcome your input... I am one of 4 children. I was "given up" when I was 14 years old. "Given up" meaning that my parents gave me up t

hit the mini b-day goal

I hit the mini goal that I was tryinig for, two days ahead of schedule!!! I was trying to get below 245 before my B-Day (this Thursday) and I did it!!!!! This morning I weighed in at 244. I have been doing good everyday. I am keeping below 1000 cals, and doing the intermediate level aerobics daily. I am finally seeing progress. Well, it is about damn time! I still haven't added the crunches yet, but that is my goal for later this week. I am loving wearing clothes that haven

looking up

O.k... that funk didn't last too long... I am back to positive and feeling great about my loss. I finally (after alot of tinkering) have discovered that it takes me eating less than 1000 calories a day to lose. I also have to have a solid workout at least 6 days a week. I lost the weight that I had gained last weekend from the little bit of cheating that I did at the casino... I know that I still am coming up way short on my loss, but today i realized that I haven't weighted this

girl gone mad

I had been doing so good with having a positive outlook over the past several weeks, but it went away. The reason it went away is: I had been weighing every morning. I got on the scale one morning and it said 247. WhooHooo! But the next day, 249 and the day after that 251. I was shocked and horrified. I have done NOT ONE THING WRONG. I have been VERY good about eating correctly, drinking correctly and I exercised every day for the last 3 weeks. AND I AM GAINING!.... There is no way

fear of the weekend

I am feeling so much more positive about myself now. I was worried that the weekends would make it difficult to stick to the healthy eating and exercise. In the past when I am home, I tended to fall off the wagon. I have been a good girl. I have exercised, ate properly and was generally more active around the house and with playing with the boys. I hopped on the scale this morning and have lost 3 pounds since last Wednesday (today is Sunday). Yeah for me! Food Journaling has been

Up and rolling...early

Today is Friday!!!!! Other than a meeting that I don't want to attend this afternoon, I have an easy day ahead (I hope!).   I had a rough start to the day, I was awoken at 5am by the sound of a transformer behind my house blowing. I got out of bed and grabbed a flashlight, got dressed and went outside to make sure it wasn't just a breaker. Well I ended up showering in the dark at 6am, at least I had hot water still. I went off to work, but my poor kiddos had nothing to do until 10 am when

Lets rock

O.k.... This is my first journal entry, although I have been banded since April 19, 2006. To date I am down 5 pounds.   I have run through the gammot of emotions for the last couple of months. I have spent alot of time depressed about getting the band, and wishing that I had an alternate surgery. I am sick of thinking that I spent $11,000 to lose 5 lbs.   I finally have seen myself pull up from my slump over the past two weeks. I joined Weight Watchers online, and journal my food like
