Loosin It… Again

Hi ladies!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It seems like a lot of us journal chicks have abandoned the blogs.  So sad!  Things are going well here.  I decided to try journalling on the Chicks website on FB.  I miss having an easy place to go where I can just log on and see everyone right there!

Tomorrow starts the end to a busy week.  This morning DS had  a play at school  OMG.. it was just a little skit but he did so well.  He had lines in front of the whole school… and whenever he said his lines (he was alittle mouse) the whole school would crack up laughing.  So Proud!  Tomorrow he has a Halloween party at school.  Mom has agreed to watch Austin so that I can go.  I am going to dress up and the whole NINE yards! 

This Saturday, the town near us is having their hometown Halloween, with a costume contest, Pumpkin Carving Contest, and Pumpkin Pie bake off.  I always enter a pie…this year I am doing a Pumpkin Streudle and a pumpkin pie from Paula Dean’s cookbook.  Definitely not figure friendly.  The fact that that woman doesn’t wiehg 800 lbs escapes me!  The recipe calls for cream cheese, BUTTER, HALF AND HALF, and egg yolks.  LOL… cook off is the perfect time to make that pie, cause none of it will be at my house!

Then there is a horse show Sunday.  My friend wants us to take our filly (young female horse), but I don’t think I will have the energy.  So we will see how that goes.

Well ladies… I hope all is well!  Take care of yourself!

Hi there,

I don’t get here much anymore.  FB seems to be easier.  But I do miss everyone!  I wish we had a forum similar to the journals.  It is a big part of my day that I miss terribly.  Things are going horrible on the weight front.  I got my Mirena implant four months and quickly started gaining weight.  I thought it was a change in my milk supply and over eating.  Then my hair started falling out.  I was more concerned about my hair rather than weight, so I did some research.  There are THOUSANDS of complaints about women losing their hair and gaining 15-20 pounds instantly on this implant.  I am soooo mad!  I was actually seizing the day and loosing weight, and once I got that thing put in.. BAM!  I hit a brick wall.  Then I got frustarted and went back to my old ways.  So… I am back at pre-preggo weight.  Feel HORRID because I am loosing my hair and gaining weight again.  It is really hard to get motivated.  DH is going to get snipped… but until then I have to leave it in.  It will have to be surgically removed, which I hear is very uncomfortable.  It is just soooo depressing that this cycle never seems to end.  I am working out and getting lots of exercise, but it seems for not.  I guess if I didn’t get exercise I would be bigger!

On a more upbeat front… kids are doing well.  Austin is CRAWLING!  Cam loves school, but likes to say he hates it.  I guess it isn’t cool to like school when you are in 2nd grade.  DH is working a lot, but he seems to like it.  I am not workign at all… and I hate it!  LOL… not made out to be a stay at home.  I hate all the work involved with keeping the house neat and orderly. 

Well ladies… those of you that are still out there… I hope all is well and htings are going great! HUGS!
