On fire….

   Another Sunday morning, another pound or so shred!! How exciting is that?!? It’s not a lot but seeings how up until Friday night I was still at 273.8…. I’m glad to see those numbers go…. two weeks is just about all I could take of them.

I seriously started concentrating on my calories this weekend. I was going to wait until Monday, but I always say I’ll start Monday and then another week has passed. It’s the tomorrow that never comes. So I went ahead and started on (in my opinion) the hardest days to watch calories…. SATURDAY!!! I did really well yesterday and am off to a great start today. Also I started riding the stationary bike thing we have in the other room. It’s like an $800+ bike that no one in the house really uses on the regular so why not take advantage of it.

So yesterday I did a pre-programmed course on the bike… 20 minutes, 4.5 miles, 284 calories burned.
Today I did the same course… 20 minutes, 5.15 miles, 300.2 calories burned. I pushed myself a little harder today which was interested seeings how my legs were on FIRE in the first 5 minutes. Yesterday 20 minutes was caked, today not so much. Gotta love a good workout.

It’ll be interesting how things go, I really wanna push myself over the next two weeks (my birthday is on the 18th). A girlfriend from work is taking me out on the 17th for a little bit, and then the 18th I spend the day with my mom (it’s her birthday to)… I know it’ll be a day of eating. So we’ll see how much I can lose by the time I go to put it back on, lol.

Thank you….

  THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES ON A DAILY BASIS SO THAT WE MAY LIVE FREELY. THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR OUR FREEDOM. THANK YOU TO SPC CHAD MARSH, ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS WHO HAD HIS LIFE TAKEN ON FEBRUARY 18, 2007 IN BAGHDAD, IRAQ FROM WOUNDS HE RECIEVED WHEN A GRENANDE DETONATED NEAR HIM DURING COMBAT OPERATIONS. WE ALL MISS YOU ON THE DAILY AND WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH US, WE KNOW THOUGH THAT YOU ARE STILL PROTECTING US JUST FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE.

So with the holiday weekend my feelings a bitter sweet. Love the holiday and being off work, being able to spend time with my family, friends, and my daughter, BUT still saddened by the memory of my friends and all the other wonderful men and women that have given their lives.

I’ve put off my weigh in until tomorrow morning, giving my body time to settle from the holiday eating. I’m sure the contant snacking and especially the Seseme seed chicken from lastnights going to really benefit the number on the scale. Hopefully though I’ll be able to flush some of it out of my system and get back on track. I saw pictures of myself yesterday that were not so flattering… you know that type of pictures… the ones you don’t know are being taken so you don’t have the oppurtunity to suck it in or stand tall and maybe to the right just a little to show “your best side”. Yay those types of pictures… so needless to say my ass is back on the wagon….

Hope everyone is having a great weekend… back to the grind tomorrow.

I don’t wanna go to school….

Well in this case it was work… and really I was looking forward to going. I had a great day, my child I guess did not. Is it wrong that a 6 week year old baby is up from about 7 am to 730 pm and then sleeps ALL night? Not completely compaining, but does seem odd.

Food was good today… honey nut cherrios for breakfast, tuna salad and carmel rice cake for lunch, and wheat pasta with pasta sauce for dinner. Was under 1000 calories.

Did an impromtu weigh in tonight… 273.8 not bad for being in the evening and what-not. Hope everyone is having a great week so far and has great holiday plans. :)

Says it all…

  Pretty much says it all, I’m frustrated about everything, my eating, my world right now, my kid, my weigh in, going back to work on Tuesday… you name it I’m frustrated with it. And not particularly in that order mind you.

Anyway weigh in was today and I should be happy enough with the fact that it didn’t go up but seriously… come on now!!

Sounds like everyone else had a great week, why not me… pity me pity me, I know. Put my big girl panties on and deal with it right? Easier said then done.

Eye-candy anyone??

HOLY COW, BATMAN!!! So today was AWESOME!! I pulled on a pair of pre-baby jeans and was able to not only get them buttoned and zipped, but I was able to do it easily!!! So awesome. You see, I wasn’t even thinking of getting preggers so I had went out and bought I don’t know about $600 worth of clothes before I found out I was pregnant. I wasn’t able to wear any of the new clothes because I had actually bought them a bit smaller then I needed ’cause I had been steadily losing weight. BAM!!!! Hit with the pregnancy (which I wouldn’t change for the world) and in the back of the closet all other lovely things went. Slowly they are starting to come back up to the Middle!!! How freakin’ exciting!!!

Food today hasn’t been bad, again remember I’m not really dieting, just holding myself accountable for what I stick in my damn mouth. We did some shopping today and lugging a 10+ pound child plus car seat around it workout enough lol. We went to Michaels so I could get more letter wood blocks to finish putting mouse’s name on the wall and the shopping carts are literally SMALLER than my kids carseat. Couldn’t even put her in the basket part. No bueno!

So my dad has been out of town for work all week and before he left he “scheduled” for a friend of his to come over and wax the show truck for the carshow on Saturday. So since he’s gone I get to “babysit”. I grumbled until the “friend” came to the door. GOODNESS, can you say eye-candy?!?! He’s been over here the past two days and is coming back tomorrow. Does it take three plus days to wax a truck? Or is he just bored? :) I’m not complaining, he’s gorgeous and this mama hasn’t had any action or attention in a long time!!

Mike & Ikes, Donuts, and More

So yesterday was weigh in, and it wasn’t too bad. With my weigh in I wrote a pretty lengthy post just to delete it on accident. So instead of writing it again I walked about and now I’m back. Sometimes I do the most retarded things… Oh well.

Now down to business: After a week of eating whatever I wanted when I wanted I only had a .6 increase. I will take it, I mean if pizza, donuts, Mike & Ikes, coke, and everything else I could get my hands on only gave me a .6 increase I’m not going to argue. But alas the binge had to stop so yesterday I got back on track with the really being accountable for what I stuck in my mouth. Still haven’t gotten on the bike, but baby steps. First get my eating habits in check and then the rest will follow.

I go back to work a week from tomorrow… I can’t believe it’s been six weeks already! I am though really ready to go back to work. Don’t get me wrong, I do love spending time with mouse but mama needs a little bit of adult contact. Mouse and I went up to work on Friday to visit everyone, and surprisingly the visit went really well. Everyone is exciting for me to be back and they miss me. Very shocked by this!

I enroll in school this week and classes start in August. Hopefully I’m able to get through it this time and better myself. Again starting small and then working up to the big class load. We’ll see.

Anyway there really isn’t a whole lot other than I’m still hiding behind the flub!!

Flubber has got to go!!

So remember the movie Flubber with Robin Williams!! Great movie, EXCEPT, I feel and look like the flubber thingy. You know wiggle and jiggle when I move or breathe?! Flubber has got to get to steppin….

Anyway, so it’s been a few days since I blogged. My days have been consumed with Mike and Ike’s and Coke. My two favorite things in the world. Unfortunately today I said goodbye to both. I have got to get back into shape. No excuses anymore. So in the end I traded the coke for a bottle of water and the Mike and Ike’s for tuna!

Nothing really much else to say other than the MILF is screaming to get out… maybe I should smother her with cheesecake… that would teach her, no?

Under the Flub

Hey everyone! I have actually had a blog on here before but sadly it’s been deleted since it’s been I don’t know a few years since my last post. A little update and catch up about me. My name is Sandra and I’ll be 24 in June (the eighteenth, if anyone is counting). As long as I can remember I’ve been a bigger girl. Some times bigger than others, but who’s been keeping track (looks around shyly). My highest weight was achieved while I was dating my ex-fiance. His theory was that if I was fat, no one else would want me. Sounded good enough to me. Having a man devoted to me and telling me I was beautiful (even if he didn’t mean it) all the time, who wouldn’t go ahead and eat that cheesecake that was brought to you?! Right??? The weight then was about 330, never weighed myself for fear that the scale would break.

Anyway, there are reasons he’s an ex, and like a spell that was broken as soon as I kicked him to the curb and pulled myself back together, I lost the weight I had gained with him. Soon I was down to a size I hadn’t been since Freshman year of high school, 280 or so, how sad is that? Freshman in highschool and weighing 280? Good gravy!

Anyway… also with all those shannanigan’s I got a new job, a new car, and a few new clothes. Soon I was down to a respectable 245, and then just a soon as you can say “Yay, congratulations!” I found out I was pregnant. “Yay, congratulations…. again!” :)

During my pregnancy I gained a little and then lost a bunch only to gain it all back again. By the time I went to the hospital to give birth I was back up to 305. *grumbles something under her breath* Oh well, times a changin’! I welcomed my beautiful baby girl in the world on April 13, 2010 at 6:16 p.m. She weighed 9.2, she came out with her own luggage. Welcome Mouse to the world (no her name is not mouse, but it is sadly her nickname), and welcome me to single mommyhood. Wouldn’t change or trade it for the world. (And no my ex was/is not the sperm donor.)

So back to the topic at hand, here I am just shy of a month after the birth of my daughter and I’m back down to 279. Back on the yellow brick road to One-ville. Not even really sure the last time I saw that town, or if I’ll even like it there. Two-ville has great cake, and well Three-ville never really had anything to offer me. I’ll pick up a post-card and drop it in the mail slot… Greetings from Two-ville!!!

This is a journey, hopefully I can make someone or a few somebodies laugh along the way, discover a new me, and become the MILF I know resides under the flub… Feel free to leave me comments whether good or bad, I’ve always wanted to have a journal with like a thousand followers. Don’t lie to me, I know you’ve thought about it once or twice… :)
