Darcie's diary to happiness

So I am at 204 and I have been for a few days but I hate to change my ticker because I keep bouncing back and forth with this pound:mad: If I am still at 204 on Monday morning then I will give in and fix it but until then I am keeping up hope that I will drop down past the 203:D

I am soooo glad it is the weekend!!:jump: I think that I will take the kids swimming since it is going to be so dang hot out. I can use the extra exercise too!!:)
 
Hello everyone it has been awhile since I graced this site with my presence. I have been so busy the last two weeks that it felt like one long continuous day. Thankfully things are slowing down now for me!

What to tell what to tell...hmmmmm

Ok for starters I am seeing that guy and that is good except he keeps taking me out to dinner which is bad because we go to places with really fattening yummy wonderful food that I can't say no to. Usually followed by movies with butter popcorn.:eek: Thankfully so far I am still at 204 and not climbing but I am afraid that if we don't find something healthier to do with our time I will be back where I started.

I haven't been bike riding lately and I hate to go out to the garage and see my bike collecting dust but it has been way to hot here so unless I am going for that ride and like 2:00 a.m. then it is going to have to sit. I have been swimming. I love to swim!! Well until my baby tried to drown herself last week. That was uncool:mad: . I always feel so much better after a day at the lake with the kids!

I am learning to use my grill. The hamburgers actually turned out decent this last time. The kids even ate them:rolleyes: That is accomplishment!! My guy is supposed to teach me how to grill soon and I really can't wait to learn.

Well that is about all that is new just trying to not gain weight and trying to not melt in this heat!
 
Well I feel like I am just not going anywhare with this weight loss. 203 this morning again. i keep bouncing between 204 and 203 and I am really getting tired of it. I had a goal of reaching 199 by the end of this month but I just don't see me making it.:mad: I want so much to be below the 200 mark. Oh sure I could "diet" for a week and make my goal but then it would come back and bring a few of its friends so I will go about my days of healthier eating and healthier living and just wait for it to slowly one ounce at a time find its way gone. I might make it by Christmas!!! Yes yes I know that my attitude has slipped a little here but I am sure the heat and lack of sleep because of said heat are not helping me any. I am a smidge cranky these days!
 
:D It has been almost 2 weeks since I wrote here in my diary and weight wise things have not changed any still sitti at 203. I can see no end to this. I am getting to get frustrated with my weight. This morning I would have welcomed a gain just becuase then it would have been something different on the scale. I thought maybe it was broke but my moms scale says 203 also.

On to other things in my life. Had to lose the guy he turned out to be a freaky stalker who likes to harrass ex girlfriends. Um not what I am looking for in a guy!:rolleyes: Breaking up was a mutual thing though so I don't think I have to worry about being stalked. Dating however has now landed on the bottom of the list of things for me to do!

I have been doing the "happy back to school mommy dance" the past few days. I am all done with the school supply shopping for the 3 out of 5 I have in school and other than new shoes they are all outfitted too!!:jump:

On to Christmas shopping!!!!!!! yes you can smack me for that comment!!
 
It has been awhile since I posted anything in my diary. My life has been one hectic messed up crazy ride for the last month. I have been so stressed out and high strung that it is amazing that I haven't cracked or gone completely insane. Things have finally started to calm down and now maybe I can get back to the normal pace of my crazy life!

With things being so bad for me this last month my weight has gone on quite a rollercoaster. I have gained and lost almost 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks. But my eating habits have not been the greatest. There were days that all I would have would be coffee. Hot coffee for breakfast. Iced coffee for lunch. Iced coffee for dinner. And maybe some coffee ice cream before bed. Yes I knew at the time that this was really bad for me but I really didn't care at the time. Now I am getting back to the routine of eating healthy and since fall has arrived I am excited to get all those great fresh veggies from the farmers market! Yummy!! I am a squash lover!! i can't wait!!

My exercise however sucks! The only thing I have done recently done for exercise was walking through the fair last week and that was more stress therapy than it was exercise! I need to get some walking in and get my glider back in the living room and find my pilates dvd's. Those things kick my butt everytime I do them!

I have set a goal of 10 pounds before Halloween. I don't know if I can make it still lots of stress but I am determined to lose 20 more before the end of the year. Wish me luck!!
 
Happy monday morning!!!

Now I normally don't like mondays but this morning I eagerly awoke to stand on the scales to see if my eyes had deceived me yesterday.....they hadn't!!

I am down to 200:jump:

this is the first time in what seems like forever I have weighed this amount! I knew that I would get over that hump that I had been stuck at for 3 months and boy does it feel good!!

I don't think I will make my goal of another 15 before the end of the year but I am feeling very satisified with myself today!!
 
Thanks Mal!! It has been hard the last few months not getting anywhere with the weightloss so to finally make some progress feels soooo good to me!!

Got on the scale again this morning and still holding that 200!! Happy happy me!!:D. Yes I would be happier if I was finally out of the 200's but sittin on the edge is ok for now! I am a bit concerned about it though. I started a new birth control today and I am always afraid of gaining weight but a little gain is better than another kid!! I have to think positive about it! 5 kids is definetely enough for me!!!

I am so happy it is fall. I love this season. I have been happily buying decorations for halloween! My favorite holiday! However I need some ideas of what to hand out to the kids in place of candy. I am not buying it this year so if anyone has ideas please let me know!
 
well it has been almost a month since my last diary post and I am still sitting at 200. No complaints really but it would be nice to see a lower number on that dang scale one of these mornings!!

Went costume shopping for Halloween recently. I was looking for sexy but not slutty! I ended up with a french maid costume garaunteed to get me phone number or two at the party I am going to! I felt so nice to buy a costume that wasn't round in shape this year!! Maybe if I feel gutsy I will get a pic or two and post so you can all see!!:rolleyes:

I have a made a vow to myself to not let the holidays get the better of me this year. It has already gotten cold here in good ol Idaho so I feel the need to fix large amounts of comfort food. Now I know better than to do this and for the most part talk myself out of the rich fattening food that my mind says I should be eating but oh man I can't wait for Thanksgiving so I can eat pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes til I make myself sick! i am giving myself that one day!!
 
why thank you Mal! It is nice to be back. Sometimes I think my life gets so busy I don't have time for me but I am working on fixing that!
 
Hello all! So i had a lovely Halloween party this last weekend. It was the first time in oh say forever and a day that I wore a dress. I went as a french maid and had tons of compliments on my costume and that made my self confidence soar! I am still sitting right at 200 but that is ok because I feel good about myself right now. As long as I can maintain through the holidays I am good!!

Happy Halloween to all!!

I stood on my scale today for the first time in almost 2 weeks and was not very happy with what I read. I am up to 205. Very depressing way to start off my day. I admit that I ate more of the kids Halloween candy than I should have and with the change in the weather I have been cooking more "comfort" food than healthy food. so I really have no one to blame but myself for my weight gain.

Knowing it is my fault does not make it any easier however! I guess I will have to forgo all the good stuff next Thursday and shake up my exersice which really is almost non exsistent right now. I liked it much better when I was on the losing end of this whole thing
 
I was doing so good at maintaining my weight at 200/201. Then the holidays hit and my weight has jumped back up to 209. It didn't creep or lag or anything it was a jump! A big jump too.

That being said I am in need of you guys again for encouragement and support and the drive I am missing. It has been a long hard year for me both in life and weight loss and gaining these 9 pounds back has really brought me down. I hate feeling this way.

Anyways encourgement needed, wanted, desired. Please....
 
you've lost the pounds before -you'll doo it again... don't get down on yourself...

Do ask yourself what caused the pounds to come back- was your initial plan too restrictive and too tough to keep to?

remember to go one step at atime.. one day at a time and you will get there...
