Hi all,
I have a lot of catching up to do. But I am back and I already joined in on eleni's challange. I really need it. I gained 4 lbs while gone. On my scale. I am working hard this week starting today to get it off. Hopefully I can come in with a turtle. That would be great.
Sounds like some are doing great and others need to start over. I am with the start over crew.
I know we can do this.
Eleni,
You never sleep in woman. You should talk to your brain and tell it that you have to sleep in.
I know I can never sleep in because I have a 3 year old alarm clock at 6:30am.LOL I hope you had a good loss this past week. Keep up the great work. At least you are still exercising. I loved walking on the beach while away. It was great. A lot better then walking here around the block and warmer also.
Wendy,
What can I say? A whole gallon of syrup I would have killed him. I hope he didn't get hurt when it hit his nose like you said. That would have been heavy for him.
You need to get back to your gazelle girl. Ride girl ride. I hope you have a great time at SRD. I don't get to go to mine. They all voted that we don't go because it costs $75.00 a person. It is only like 15 min from us also. I really wanted to go and still do.
Coco,
You are doing great girl. I am glad to be back. I really have to get busy and lose this weight. I am so disgusted with me. I know I could have been a lot farther ahead if I would only do the work. I ended up having to buy shorts and jeans before I left. Then when I got there had to buy a bathing suit because mine was too tight. That was not good. But I am still here. That is a good sign because I refuse to give up. I just cleaned out my closet of all the smaller sized jeans today. I put them up on my shelf. That way when I need them they will be there. I intend on getting into them for sure some day.
As for me. I got back on track today. I walked for 1 1/2 miles. Yesterday I used the treadmill at the hotel in the morning before we left for 30 min. That was great. But my eating is back on track and I am having a lot of fruits and veggies. I am getting to my min points with lower cal. foods. Which I have to do. I am eating healthy again. It was so hard to eat good on vacation. I really tried. I did great at first. Then I kept having to listen to everyone saying you are on vacation you shouldn't be exercising. I brought my weights with me and used them most everyday. Then they kept saying just eat. They ate 24/7 my parents it was terrible. Then I started eating. We would see these skinny girls in their bikinis and I would say boy would I love to look like that. And my husband said you won't babe it isn't in your family. I know in my heart I will never be that thin. Nor would I want to be. But it didn't help hearing that. So I didn't have any support while away to stay on track. I wasn't strong enough to do it I guess. I caved it. But I am glad I only gained 4 lbs I thought I gained 10 so that was a relief. I think all the exercise paid off in that dept.
We did have a great time but it wasn't very relaxing. We went with my parents and we won't do that again. We didn't get to do anything WE wanted to do. But we did get to lay on the beach for 3 days. It was in the 80's while there thank god. But when we got there it was cold and on sunday (our first day on the beach)we had to wear our jackets. It was in the 60's and the wind was whipping. The next day by 11am it was warm enough to lay on the beach. So I was happy with that. We all got burnt and megan cried because it hurt so much that night. But we are peeling now.LOL We are set for the summer here so we will just all tan up now. If it warms up.
We went through a town called Laplante I think was the name of it in Maryland. It is where a tornado hit. It was the first time I had seen where I tornado hit before. It was terrible. I couldn't believe the damage. I have seen it on TV but not for real before. We had a town not too far from here that got hit by a tornado a few years ago. But I never saw the heart of the damage like I did going down south. I am glad I have never been in one.
Guess what? We are going to try for another baby starting in july. It is official. We talked about it while away. But I will never reach my goal by then. But I want to lose as much as possible before then and keep eating healthy all the way through.
Also we are going to build a brick house. One brick at a time. We found one online tonight that we are going to build. We are going to do it ourselves and do it a little at a time. We will keep the one we are in while building it. It will be great. It is a 4 bedroom 3 bath house. I can't wait it will be beautiful. But we have to take down our pool to build it though. But it will be worth it. I am calling tomorrow to see if I can get the plans for it. It will take a long time to build it but at least it will be paid for when it is done and we won't owe anything on it. My husband friend that we bought this place from is a masonary. So we will ask him to lay the brick for us. Then we will do the inside by ourselves. It is so exciting. We will finally have a new house the way we want. And I get a 2 car garage that I can actually use. We have a huge garage now but that is johns and I don't put my car in it. He does his work out of it. It will be great. It might take a few years to complete then when it is done and we move in we will knock down this one. The best thing is that the new house will never flood. We are building it up.
Well I have gone on enough. There is just so many things going on here now.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ALL!
I had a good day. I got carnations and my husband cooked dinner for me. It was great.
