Good Exercise, Bad Diet = no weight loss :(

I've been exercising sooo diligently, but I just can't seem to stop eating junk. I mean im not eating candy bars but last night for instance I ate some raviolies out of a can. They weren't even that good! grr im mad at me. Then I proceded to eat a bologna sandwich on cheap white bread. And then topped it off with 2 vanilla puddings. Everything I ate was completely unnutritious and pointless unless you are trying to add fat on your body which I so desperately don't want to do. On the up si

Glad to get back on track.

I had lost interest in LBT for quite awhile. Im ready to get back on track and start my losing process again. I haven't really gained since my last entry but I haven't really lost either. The past few months have been more career oriented for me and less about my physical health. But I really want to get to where I can feel good about my appearance again. I had my daughters pictures taken together and I was talking to the photographer about scheduling a family photo session at my house and

NS

Last Monday my husband and I had the consult with the neurosurgeon. It went as I was expecting. They want to surgically drain the tumor, hoping that it wont refill with fluid. I wasn't that impressed by the doctor however. I mean he seemed nice but his nurse seemed to butt in and over talk him somewhat and that just really irked me. I just think as a 'brain surgeon' he would be a bit more confindent and exude a control/command persona. He seemed more like a meek mild type of a person. Any

Back At Work

Well I finally went back to work after a 6 month period of working from home. Boy its a mess! Im glad im finllay back. My baby is now going to daycare, and luckily she seems to be doing just great. I pick her up and she is happy and bubbly and her normal self. So at least I don't have to feel guilty about that. I planned on working 3 days a week but once I got there I realized I need to work 5 until I get my office back in order. I just really really want to get it running like a fine tun

Dangit im mad at myself. I started back to work and I had to bring my baby to daycare. I don't think im an emotional eater but who am I kidding... I must be.

Holy Moly! -2lbs!

Woooot woooo! Another 2 lbs. down today. Its amazing what exercise does for me. I have never in my life realized the impact a little bit of exercise has on my weight. LOL I know its common practice to say not to weight yourself daily but, my goodness how can I not? lol. The funny thing about me is that I always am encouraged by the scale. If it doesn't move downward or God forbid moves upward im like 'eh no biggie' but if it moved downward im over here doing cartwheels and ready to have a orgasm

Sick Baby

My little Luciana is sick for the first time. She's 6 months old. I think she might have croup. Poor little thing. She has a check up on Wednesday, I wonder if she can get her vaccines when she's sick? I guess I'll find out. I hate taking my kids to the pediatrician lol its so dang germy! I always say if they aren't sick when you bring them in they will be when you leave. I bet it was nice in the olden days to have the doctor come to your home! :sick     Well I finally bit the bullet and exer

Journal Entry

I really don't like titling my journal entries lol. Anyways things are going ok for me. Im eating less than I ever have in my life. But Im still having this nagging toe issue that just won't go away. I've stopped wearing heels, and been donning wide clunky shoes that don't pinch my toe or bother it. I've been putting hydrogen peroxide on it to clean it out twice per day. Today my five year old accidentally stepped on my toe and I thought I was going to pass out! LOL it hurt. I know I shou

Just Another Entry

Well, My husbands hormone replacement therapy is working well! He is extremely energetic, its crazyyyy. Yesterday he was up and gone by 6am and worked all day on our business expansion. He arrived home at about 6pm, he had picked up some delite pizza so I didn't have to make supper . Then he popped it in the oven, we all ate together. He ran a bath for our oldest daughter while I took care of our baby. Then whilst she was in the bath, he cleaned the entire kitchen, picked up the house... I

Boy I missed having my journal.

Well I had my fill last Wednesday, Im not noticing much differance. But I have been babying it a bit and not eating anything too solid. Tomorrow will be a more regular diet and we'll see how that sits with me.   I haven't publicly journaled about this yet I don't believe. But something that Im currently experiencing in my life right now is that my husband is sick. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the beginning of this year. Its been such a hard thing to deal with. We recently learn
