I was down -.4 today. I was actually surprised I was down at all, the beginning of the week was tough for me….I tried to get back in line though….I am slowly making my way:)

Our new neighbors invited us over for dinner tonight, it was so nice to visit and hang out and they made a healthy fish dinner…that was yummy.

It has been a long week in my world….busy and overwhelming in so many ways. I look at all the things people do in their days and their worlds and I wonder how they get it done…I love to sleep and so when it gets to be that time of night, I just need to crash…I can’t motivate myself to stay up to get stuff done…so, stuff doesn’t get done…..oh well, I guess if everyone in the house has clean clothes, food to eat and is fairly happy–I can be thankful for that….even if the toys are not cleaned up:)

Anyway….as I said, I love to sleep, so I am off to bed.

Good night….

The week has started out not great…I am emotion eating–I know it and yet, I am still doing it..trying to to stop.

At least right now I am munching on sweet peas…..I need to get over this….

I was down 3 pounds!!! Woohoo…..I made such an effor this week and it felt great. I don’t think I can make the under 200 in 2 weeks…that is another 8.6–but….I will do my best. I feel motivated b/c I am seeing results to my efforts!!

2 other good things….1. I found a pair of jeans that fit. This has nothing to do really with my weight loss, it isn’t that I have lost enough weight that I am in a new size…it is simply the first pair of jeans I have worn since having a baby in June…they would have a couple weeks ago too, but since we moved in August, I haven’t found or had time to dig through clothes…with seasons starting to change, I am starting to dig into many boxes. These are my large size jeans…maybe you are like me and have a wide range of pants in your possession…i look forward to the day when I have to dig through boxes for a smaller size!! But, after being pregnant and maternity clothes and loose fitting shorts all summer, it feels good to wear normal pants…even size 16–although, it will feel better when that number is smaller….

The #2 good thing, I have been lonely since we moved…no secret….and this past week I joined a mom’s group here in town and last night they had a mom’s dinner out…it was really good and just good for me to remove myself from my mom role for a couple hours and enjoy company and a glass of wine (or 2:).  It was a really nice night and I was proud of myself for making the effort ot go out with practically total strangers……

Anyway…the kids are both napping and I have a gazillion things to go…better run. I just didn’t get a chance to post yesterday.

have a great weekend…

On my new theme view…there is a box at the top where it says About and I have no idea where or how I go to edit this…..I have looked and can’t figure it out…can anyone help me out?

I have been noticing some snazzzy looking blogs,..so I went and looked and low and behold, more options had been added since I started mine or since I last looked…very fun.

I am eating well so far this week and making better choices..not perfect, but better!! Now that I know what a NSV means, I am going to pay attention for some for myself……one that I can think of is I am finally joining a mom’s playgroup. I moved 6 weeks ago and am anxious to meet people, yet have been scared about meeting up with strangers….I finally bit the bullet and am going to join and start going…shoudl be fun, hopefully I will meet some nice people adn maybe even have a conversation with another adult during the day. Other than a salesclerk at a store…..anyway,..haven’t done it, but I joined…big step.

Well..gonna run…good night.

I get that it is a compliment…what does it stand for?

Thanks:)

Hey there..quick post of WI. I was down 2.8, which puts me almost where I was at 2 weeks ago before I gave up fora couple weeks:)

I realize that making it under 200 in 3 weeks may not be very realistic….that is 11.8 pounds in 3 weeks…but I am giving it my all and I won’t be sad if it takes an extra week…:)  It will be soon!!

No secret…the last 2 weeks have been tough for me…I have been in a slump in all ways. Well, 2 days ago I felt like I was coming back to myself. And i have been eating better…..Originally one of my goals was to be under 200 by my b-day. That is 3 weeks from today….that is a tough goal to make, but I am really going to give it my best shot. Weigh in is tomorrow, but I have been keeping an eye on the scale this week and really as soon as I have been tracking my points adn making better choices the weight has been coming down…..so, I am excited for my official weigh in tomorrow…..anyway…small goal….under 200 by Oct 4. I may not make it–it will be tough since I have slacked these past 2 weeks and gained some back…but I am really going to give it my all……

This week has sucked…excuse my language:). It has been a rotten week for me on many fronts…so where did I turn. Do I need to write it? Food. Today I seem to be getting it together….I weighed in and was up 2 pounds from last weeks up 1 pound. So..maybe weighing in was the kick in the pants to put me in gear today…I think I iwll hop on the scale every morning this week and see if that helps motivate me…..

we’ll see….I had to post just to behonest with myself.  I’ll write more later…gotta get some work done……
