And now I desparatly want it back! I won’t give you details but this last 24 hours has involved chalupa’s, pizza (twice) and a gigantic sub sandwich. I was doing really well, but seemed to have no time to check in and update, but now I feel like it might be crucial to my Diet to keep you informed. If you are out there? I don’t know.
It started with an arguement with DD1 about dinner and ended with me sitting alone arguing with DH on the phone in a parking lot. It was pretty awful. I felt terrible for argueing with DD1, but 10 year olds are so defiant!
But alas, I am picking up where I left off. Buying flowers for my Diet, apologizing profusly, and begging my Diet to return. We can be so happy together!

So Iwas busy this last week or so with an awful sinus infection. Completly knocked me out. I started feeling really bad on Tuesday and thought it was just allergies but by Wednsday, I could barely move, I was in so much pain. It was my birthday and a friend of mine and i had plans to take our kids to the zoo, so I managed to somehow do that, then made a doctors appointment in the evening. Its funny, i have been looking forward to my 30th birthday for as long as I can imagine. I wanted it to be spectacular, memorable, up all night partying type of event. Instead, my husband made a quiet dinner at home, bought me some carrot cake and we went to bed early. Aside from being sick, I really couldn’t have asked for a nicer birthday.

After having a great weight loss last week I rebounded this weekend by eating everything in sight. Thats not actually true, it just felt like I was out of control when I was eating but looking back at my food log, it actually could have been much worse. I am not going to beat my self up over the food that I ate or tell myself that I am starting over. I have to accept that fact that even though it was a lunch to celebrate my daughters birthday or even though we went to my MIL dinner, that doesn’t give me an excuse to go off my plan but I accept it and just need to move on. I am not starting over. I am not starting over. I am not starting over. I just had a little bump.

So I took my youngest to the doctor today for her 15 month check up and she is still in the 3rd percentile for weight. Both of my yonger children are very small but the doctor is not concerned. Even though my husband is very big (6′3″ and 280- alot of muscle) I think that this is because underneath all of my fat, I am a very small person. I sometimes worry that people will see them and think “Poor children! No wonder they are so small, their mother eats all the food! Tsk. Tsk.”
I have officially came up with a goal also. I am currently about a size 20-22, and I have a great pair of trouser jeans in a size 16. I want to be able to wear these to our family Christmas (dress is always dressy casual). I know this is a lofty goal, but I think with some hard work and determination, I can get there. When I was last in a size 16 I was around 220 or so, so we will see. I may have to adjust my goal as time goes by.
I think I have also come up with a plan of action. I am currently counting calories on an app on my iphone, which has been very helpful and earlier this week my husband and I started running again. We were in the process of training for a 5K but had to put it on hold for a knee injury. The knee injury wasn’t a running injury but a completly unrelated tripping-over-the-slide-on-the-kids-jungle-gym injury. We are now running 3 times a week and next week I am going to start bowflexing again on the off days and taking a break one day a week. I will do my first official weigh-in tomorrow morning, so of course, i’ll keep you posted…

I am quickly approaching thirty (less than a week away) and feel like my life is totally out of control. At 261 pounds I am still close to my heaviest weight and I am desparate to lose weight. My reasons for wanting to lose weight are not selfish reasons. I don’t want to lose weight to fit into a cute bikini. I want to lose weight so I can take my daughters to the park an have enough energy to play with them. I want to be able to take my girls roller skating and be able to keep up with them. I want to see my youngest walk down the aisle. Two of my biggest challenges with losing weight is that I am an emotional impulsive eater and I have to be careful not to limit my nutrients because I am nursing my youngest. Three years ago I had a miscarriage and my emotional eating got out of control. I am trying to take up hobbies to distract myself, but as a work at home mom of three girls, my time is limited.
My ultimate goal doesn’t have a number yet. I just want my husband to think I am sexy again. My girls to be proud to stand next to me. To go to the store and buy normal clothes. I am doing this because I love my family and life is already too short. I’ll keep you posted…
