Sunday sad

Well I blew it this week. I am so stinking sad right now. I ate french Fry that were baked and a cheeseburger last night. I also had one fudge bar. I was so happy to hear the 80 calories. Well I am up two pounds. I am going to drink a ton of water today and hope it was salt......

Anyway I did workout. I went for a walk with the kids. I am also going to add a lap this week.

Well anyway something funny did happen last night. The baby and hubby were wrestling on the couch. He grabs her wrist and she yells "get off of me you leprechaun". We both died laughing. I am not sure why she picked a leprechaun but it was funny.

This is their 1st fudge bars ever.

Saturday 197.6

Well I am as happy as a fat kid in a candy store...oh wait that's me lol. No really I am still going down. It is the wrong time for it too. SO I am thrilled with how I have been doing. I have been looking at pictures of St Martin and boy is that helping. I was hungry all day yesterday. I did not ever care it was weird.
I have found that snacking on cheerios helps me a lot. It feels like a lot of food in my hands and I eat one at a time. I know it sounds crazy but hey it works.
I am still not drinking all the water I should be drinking either. I have still been cutting down on the soda but not the sweet tea. I wonder how much better or not tea is for you? Let me know if you do.
The girls are really starting to help me out with this too. Hubby has been trying for years to get me into this exercising thing. Just thing what would have happened if he had said Irland? I would be 110 lol!!!! Dreams will come true and one day I will get there.
Where have you ever wanted to go?
Anyway yesterday food wise was so so.
I forgot to eat in the morning-bad
So when I got to lunch I was hungry. I did not eat until about 2:00. Bad.
I ate two soft tacos. meat light sour cream and tomato.
Dinner was pizza, yep I said Pizza and I LOVED IT! I got a half cheese and half sausage. I hate sausage, so that was no big deal. I had three pieces. That was a big deal, and I love it lol.
I did also make a fruit salad which I tyred to fill up on rather than the pizza.

And the snacks. Cuddle Bug has her own money. She likes to make money too. Well she got a mounds bar and shared it with her sisters. Otter did not like it. She had eaten about half on one piece. I got the other and again....I LOVED IT! Then I got them fudgecicles. They had never had which made me laugh. How could I deprive my kids so? I got a bit off of each one and you got it I LOVED IT! And even better than that they only have 80 calories....they just could be my new best friend, sorry Patti.
So I was not to good on the snacking but i am ok with it becuas eit was not a bag of dorritos either.

197 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I am a day behind in posting. and this will have to be very fast.
Food
Morning peanut butter sand which, and then toast with jelly about an hour later.
Cup of hot tea.

Lunch salad with carrots and blue cheese dressing. I for got to drink anything.
Hand full of cheerios snack.

Dinner (this is not good)
four french Fry's...yea I said French Fry's. I love them and I dipped them in ranch of all things.
I also had 10 hot wings. yep with the ranch and blue cheese. I feel off the wagon onto my HEAD!!

But I did swim from 7:20 to 8:30. My arms hurt and my backs hurts and feel I love the water. I weight myself this morning because I was feeling guilt about the hot wings. Well the water paid off. as of this morning I am 197!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I will weight again in the morning like I should. It will be another round of swimming tonight.


Okay for today I have cheated a bit more with 6 skittles. two yellow, two green, one orange and one red.
I made French toast for the kids this morning. I don't like it so I ate one piece with butter.
Lunch was two tacos wit light sour cream and tomatoes.
Two glasses of water and one glass of sweet tea.
Tonight I with have a steak about the size of a credit card. A potato with butter, no sour cream.
And more water. (Ok the streak was a very good size & I really Liked it too)

I will be going on a walk. I did and it was about an hour long.
I am hopping I can keep this up.

I just want to see my face smaller. Hubby has been trying to take pictures of me for his face book page. I look so old and so fat in each picture I won't let him post them. It makes me happy that he wants people to see me but I want them to see the best me. I so hate the way I look.

I have so little color and so many chins....What do you think should I post a picture here? You know before and after? It almost makes me sick to my stomach to think of it. Maybe I should post one and then say I will post a new one after 10lbs off? Or should I do it once a month? I don't know lol.

What I ate so far

Okay here we go on what I eat. I will have to add to this by the end of the night.
one piece of toast with butter and strawberry jelly
one cup of tea with far less sugar than it needed lol

pot roast the size of a credit card
one potato w/butter ( no sour cream)
1/2 a carrot
12 oz of sweet tea

That is it so far. I need to work on water now.
smiles

OK here is the rest of the day.
A salad with blue cheese dressing
two chicken wings
hand full of cheerios when the kids had snack. They had iceies. I ate the tops after I cut them open. The peach was good.
I have not had time for water just yet. Not a good excuse is it?

We did go swimming for 30 minutes. Tomorrow will be better.
Thanks for reading.

My wieght and what I eat

Well I am well on my way to trying to lose this weight. I have lost 3 lbs. I am going to add what I eat daily, believe that? Many people have told me I have to journal what I eat. So I will be posting to this site each night.
I will weigh myself on Friday mornings. This will give you a date to check on me. I am going to give up soda, beer, mixed drinks, and some candy. Yes I will have a small piece on Sundays. a day to give thanks lol. I pray God will hear everything I have to type about this too. Yes I will be reporting to him before anyone else. lol.
Well Thank you Jill for the post. I was so happy to see you had something to say about all of this. I can't wait to post pictures of ST Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh and I am going to drink 8 glasses of water a day. It worked once before.

Diet and ST Martin!!!!

Okay you all...I need you. I believe there are two people who read this thing. (I secretly hope there is more) I have a great opportunity to go to St. Martin in October. I have a great friend named Sarah who has a house in ST. Martin. We are going down there for a few days.
BUT
I have to lose 30lbs. I have been wanting to lose weight but I find it very hard. I have been making excuses for years why I can't. Here are a few: I don't have the time. It is hard to get to the gym with 3 kids. I don't have the close to work out in. I don't know what to do when I workout. I don't like to workout.

The biggest one is I am afraid to fail.

But now I have a big reason....St Martin!!!!! I am so looking forward to a few days without anyone to help or make happy but me! So I need the support in losing the weight I have packed on.
I will be posting what my weight on line. Oh my gosh...I did say that didn't I? Yes I am now admitting my weight and how I do getting it off. I am starting this journey at 201. Tony reads this once and a while. I know he is freaking out right now too. Today I weigh 198. I have to lose 6lbs a month to make it to St. Martin.
Give me a shot out if you want to help me.
Thanks

Grad and Mother's Day

This is crazy I don't know what to write. We had a great weekend and so much went on. Yet I have a hard time typing it all out tonight.


The first thing is Nate graduated from high school on Sunday. He received scholarships and has school planned out. I had no idea what I was doing at his age.

The Cuddle Bug and The Baby did not like sitting for the ceremony. They keep asking me if it was over. Below is one picture I took of them as they waited. They were cute and had a few people giggling around us. It was a short ceremony too. The class did not use a speaker. They only had three speakers. One song which was very nice.

The girls would have hated my graduation. We needed pillows and I have no idea what the speakers had to say. It was so boring. Nate's was so much better. There was a slide show and the class gave white roses to their mothers. It was very sweet and made most people cry. And yes I did too, but not as bad as when my brother graduated.

Hubby and the kids got me a new camera for Mother's Day. I can't tell you how excited I am about it. You will be seeing more and more pictures on my blog now. This also means I will be writing more on the blog too.

The graduation party was held at The Elm Lake Resort Lodge. It is owned by Hubby's uncle. We stayed the night there and really enjoyed it. They like it also. Otter and Cuddle Bug rode their bikes all over the Lodge.


Shannon and Cuddle Bug.

The volley ball pit which became the sand box and place to find our children.
The water is very cold. I was worried she would fall in.
