7 days till the wedding .... by LemonDropz
So after feeling completely miserable for in my opinion not eating well I decided to hope back on the wagon yet again. SO yesterday i had 2 bags of 100 cal popcorn (im addicted!) a salad 2 hotdogs and not even a handful of fries. Today i woke up late. And thinking about it i decided i wasnt going to go on the scale because i didnt want to be depressed for my actual wedding on tuesday (signing papers) So at 12 noon i changed my mind and got on the scale. To my surprse/excitement/ complete shock i was down 3lbs from my last weigh in. HUH!!!! Ill take it.
In wedding news My future mother in law is wearing a cream dress.... umm is it cream like white cream (in which case i would throw a fit) or is it cream like brown cream. Yea… i dont know. Anyway in 3 days im going to be married!!WOOHOO
Well, I am a little frustrated. When I was doing my one meal a day diet I lost weight-almost immediately. Now that I am doing the 4-6 mini meals a day thing I am not losing weight at all and that is with 1-2 hours of exercise a DAY. I am feeling a tad frustrated. I am keeping my calories around 1400 and doing everything the experts tell you do to. I am tracking all my food at http://www.myfooddiary.com and usually do a pretty decent job of keeping things in check. IDK why I am not dropping pounds. Obviously I am doing something wrong. I have to rethink this. Should I go back to my original plan. It was eat once a day-anything I wanted. I lost alot of weight doing that, but got ribbed because people thought I wasn’t eating enough. I was eating enough calories. I am a binge eater so I can easily eat 1000 calories at one sitting. But even though I could have anything I wanted I did a great job of choosing better food to eat. I introduced myself to veggie burgers and veggie corndogs. (Veggie corn dogs are better than the originals!!!) I’m gonna give this a few more days but if I don’t start losing some weight soon I am going back to the once a day diet. I have a halloween costume to get into! To see it go to my blog. The link is in my signature.
Today’s plans are to go to the local “court days”. Then probably back home to exercise and clean up. I am staying with BF tonight. I am going to eat healthy. I wanna do this so bad. I am really trying. The pounds will stop dropping soon. I know they will.
Think postive. My legs look better, my stomach looks a little smaller. This is working, this is working…
I might not use it often these days but I still want it.

I must confess .... by fcrules
I am a lurker!! Life has just been extremely busy lately and by the time I get home from work I am so darn tired. I will come in here and read everyones post daily I just don’t have the energy to post. I will try to get better at posting. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Mine will be spent at work. I am in the middle of working 8 straight days.
When your a single Mother of 4 kids you never know what to expect. This morning I walk out my front door to find a pair of my UNDERWEAR lying in my front yard. WTH??? I don’t even wanna know what the panty bandit might have planned to have done with them. Of course they all deny touching them.
We FINALLY got some much needed rain. We hadn’t had any in about 3 weeks. I had a few tomato plants bite the dust. I watered them, but they don’t like tap water like they do rain water. We got some sprinkles and my flowers- or what is left of them- look so happy. The only plants that are were doing any good are my moss roses and my cactus! Kentucky weather! Sheesh!
Food yesterday was okay considering that I went out to eat. My meal was a grilled tilapia with a side salad and tomato slices. What hurt me was the kids ordered bacon cheese fries and I ate some. Overall I still came in under my calorie count to maintain my weight so that is good. Will do better today. I got 4 frowny faces on myfooddiary,com yesterday. It will add the calories you burn through exercise back onto the amount of calories that you are allowed to eat each day and yesterday I was suppose to have burned over 1000 calories!! I don’t think that is right so I try to eat about 1400 calories a day. So it gave me a frowny face for too few calories! My total calories were 1997!!! My saturated fat % was too high as was my sodium (thanks to the subway sub) and my cholesterol (thanks to the tilapia). I thought I was making such good healthy choices and then you find out they are loaded with salt and cholesterol! Oh well, something to keep in mind.
stopping by to save my journal! .... by IMSuperMommy
Ok, so I check in every morning, I just never seem to post. Weight just keeps going up and up and I don’t know why I can’t seem to get it together to do something about it even though I am feeling worse and worse physically. When is enough going to be enough!?!?!?!?!? Boys are both in school full time so now it is just me and the girl all day..I am hoping to tackle some projects here at home (mainly doing damage control from having the boys home all summer 24/7) and then maybe I will concentrate on me!
Morning ladies. It has finally arrived. I am so relieved.Dh has his interview today. I am totally nervous. I really hope it goes well. He seems to be adjusting to the idea of getting a job with a stable paycheck. Mostly because there is another baby on the way, our insurance costs are astronomical, and someday we would like to retire. Say what you will about big corps, but this one has a killer retirement plan. So even if you are only there for 20 years, you will have great benefits. Still have no idea what the starting salary is. The job he is applying for he is way over qualified, so maybe they will offer him something different. Keep your fingers crossed ladies.
I had my doc appt yesterday. Got my anti-nausea pill. So far it is just making the nausea a little less severe, not making it go away completely. It also has a side effect for headaches. LOL… sometimes you can’t win. Doc told me I need to quit losing weight. The baby is not in any danger, but I will continue to lose energy. I told him, it was in no way intentional. I just feel to bad to eat. (Imagine THAT!!!)
They found the little lemon’s heart beat. It was moving around so much that it took quite a while and was making me nervous. But it was there and nice and strong 158 bpm.
After Dh’s interview he is heading over to his parent’s house for a work party. All the boys (4 brothers) will be doing some yard work; trimming trees, painting garage, trimming hedges, etc. Normally I would go over there with him, but it is a 3 hour drive and I am not feeling so great in the car. DS and I will stay home. We rarely spend time apart, so it will feel wierd. Maybe I can get some stuff done and get the house clean.
Well time to get moving. Have a great weekend ladies!
Good morning ladies~ Woke up today and it felt like the middle of October! It’s so damp out today from all the rain we got yesterday...I thought it would never stop I laid on the couch thinking I’ll just shut my eyes for a few and 1 1/2 hour later woke up!LOL! Joey had Open House last night. I just sent him and Kev though...no way was I trying to get the 5 of us in and out in a rain storm....as it was Kev and Joey were drenched by the time they got home. Kev liked all Joey’s teachers with the exception of his Science teacher...Great! He just said she seemed like a crab. I told Joey to just keep low on the radar and do your work!LOL! Not much planned this weekend. I think we may go bed shopping for Kyle and Madison. I want to get Mattie a canopy bed, but am having a really hard time finding one that doesn’t cost a fortune! Other then that though not much happening this weekend...which is nice because next weekend is going to be busy. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend~
it happened again yesterday. I ate to much… i do so well during the day but when i come home from school its like a free for all. That and the fact that h2b brings home all this good food from his job. Im going to ask him to stop. I dont want to eat it LOL but i do anyway.
What does everyone else do to avoid binging at night. I usually dont start until 630 and it doesnt end till around 11. The worst part is its all my healthy food. I bing on smart ones, popcorn, 1pt snacks. and then i get the quesadia from h2b and its all over.
the plan for today is Work 9-4. Driving h2b to work @ 5. Grammies helping me make the seating chart for the wedding. (thats going to be a big help!) I might go for a swim while im there.
“She was a little fatso, now she is beautiful!” .... by JustCallMeCow
Morning everyone.
Yesterday went well. Food was on target, water could have been better and my work out was great. She really kicked our butts in the cardio work out last night. I don’t know what was up with her but man.. I was a sweaty mess fifteen minutes into the work out. You can imagine what I looked like after the whole forty five minutes. I’ve been wearing a tank top underneath my work out t-shirt that way the t-shirt doesn’t get sopping wet. I sweat a lot, especially on my lower back. After my work outs I’ll have a HUGE sweat circle on my back. Gross! The tank seems to sop up the wetness so I don’t look ridiculous. After my work out I came home, got in my pajamas, ate two turkey dogs for dinner, had a slim-a-bear fudge pop for dessert, watched some tv and was in bed by 10pm. I wanted to be in bed earlier but I had to wait for my laundry to finish. I swear, I was so tired I would have fallen asleep at 8pm.
