Yo-yo no more

Here it is, the day after Thanksgiving.  I feel…. b-l-o-a-t-e-d!  I’ve already had my first round of leftovers.  I’ll be glad when we get home as we always tend to eat poorly when we’re on the road.  This is our last road date of the year. I have no clue what my re-start weight will be and I’m nervous to see the scale.  I’m wondering if I am back up over 200 pounds (especially after Thanksgiving!). But at least I know I’m goint to start doing something about it. *whew*

That’s really all I have to write about.  I haven’t even felt hungry since yesterday - but I have piled in food anyway.  Why? Because it tastes so good! I know, lousy lousy excuse!

Until later,

I haven’t weighed myself to see what my re-start date is.  I know I’m not back over 200 pounds.  My lowest weight on record for this journey was 188.6 and that was back in August.  My weight right now is probably around 195.  7 pound gain from my lowest.  It’s really disheartening but I’m glad if it’s not over 200 pounds.  

My husband and I have been going back and forth on the having another baby discussion for a few months now.  We are both in agreement that we want more kids and there’s no time like the present.  We have decided that when we have more, unless the first try comes out in twins, we want to have 2 back to back like we did with our first two.  Jacob and Kylie are so close and such great little buddies.  They defend each other and play so well with each other that to throw a third one into the mix might cause a little bit of friction - so we’ll have two more back to back and hope it goes as well as it did the first go round.  We love kids and I know the one single reason we’ve waited so long between them is because of the weight.  Kylie (our youngest) will be 3 in February and I didn’t want to wait so long to add a third one in there.  My goal is to be safely in the 160’s before we start trying for #3.  I’m setting the baby-making goal at 164.  30 pounds (give or take depending on what I weigh now).  It’s frustrating to me to know that had I kept up with everything at the pace I was going at, I’d already be at that goal.  Oh well, live and learn.  At least I didn’t plop myself back up to 262 pounds! OYE! I’m already much healthier than I was when I got pregnant with Jacob.  When we got pregnant with him, I weighed 232 pounds.  So I’m at least 37-40 pounds less than that right now.  That in itself is so awesome to me!

So, after Thanksgiving I will be back on this journey again and striving so hard to get to baby-making goodness.  I would like so start trying in April or May of 2009.  So I’ll have Dec, Jan, Feb, and March (possibly some of April) to lose 30 pounds.  I CAN do it, I CAN do it, I CAN do it!!!!!

So, there is the update! YAY!  See you after Thanksgiving!

I love how my post below this one was from AUGUST and I promised in that one that I would be doing an update in the next couple of days…. and update that apparently never happened. Oops!  Well.  I’m back - sort of.  I’m off of the weight loss train though I haven’t gained back all my weight.  However, I’m waiting until after Thanksgiving to get going on it again.

Hubby and I have decided that we want more kids.  In order to do that, I want to be in the 160’s.  So, after Thanksgiving, I will be going full force!  I have not forgotten 3FC or all the ladies on there and I look forward to getting back on there and getting the job done!
