Right now I pretty much have to do it after the kids go to bed, and by the time they go to bed....yeah I don't really feel like doing it..lol!

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure that all parents have to wait until their kids go to bed so they can do it.

It burns calories! what?! I don't see a problem...lol!


Here's my vent for the day: You would think that living where it snows a good part of the year, you could go in to a store, in the middle of winter, and buy a pair of snow pants......WRONG! I went all over town looking for a pair....5 stores later, I finally found some. It irritates me soooo bad that in the middle of January you can hardly find a pair of snow pants, BUT you have no problem finding a SWIM SUIT! I swear it's so stupid! ugh!

So, I weighed myself yesterday and I've lost a couple more pounds..which I find interesting because I've been pigging out for the last week. So I don't know what's up with that, but eh..whatever. I seriously need to get back on the treadmill regularly. Yesterday while I was cleaning I rearranged a couple things so that I could leave the treadmill out and ready to go. Before it had been in a spot that wasn't so great and it had to be moved every time I wanted to use it....which was a huge pain. So now I have no excuse..it's sitting there just waiting for me to use it. It's giving me the evil eye right now in fact...taunting me...HAHAHA.

Anyway, I have a little more cleaning to do today , and then I have to take my son to his class, then I'm going to come home and take a nap....er...I mean use the treadmill...yeah ...that's what I meant...hahaha.
 
I had a dentist appointment this morning, and WOW is my mouth sore...haha... I think she thoroughly enjoyed shoving that metal pic into my gums...I don't know if someone pissed her off this morning or what, but man that was painful. My teeth are squeaky clean now though. hahaha

And, yesterday I did use the treadmill while my son was at his class...and it worked out really good...so I think I'm going to keep doing that. I exercised, picked up the kids, came home and made dinner, and then was able to relax the rest of the night...it was very nice. So, I'm happy that I rearranged stuff...it was a pain to do, but it will make exercising soooo much easier from now on. So, maybe...just maybe.. I'll actually...ya know..do it..haha.

Facebook is so addictive...it's like crack to me..haha...ok maybe not that bad, but pretty close. I'm always on there...I'm one of those people that just has it up all day. Not just to keep track of status updates, but to put in some serious work........on my fake farm..hahaha... I love Farm Town. Yeah, I'm going to go check Facebook now..hahahaha...Later!
 
Well, I figured I should update this since I haven't in a little while....Everything is pretty much the same as always, diet wise anyways. I haven't weighed myself in a while, probably should do that soon. I don't want to though, it's scary...hahhaha!! You know the dreaded feeling...We all do....It happens the second you step on the scale.... the numbers go up and down and up and down...and you hold your breath, just hoping its going to be on the low end of those numbers....and then it pops up and you either go....YAY! :hurray: or Damnit :cuss:! hahaha!!! It really is a horrible thing ..which is why I usually just go by my clothes..and since they are still really loose and my pants are still practically falling off of me..I seriously need to get a belt...hahaha....I'll take that as a good sign. I will probably suck it up and weigh myself sometime this week though, just so I know. I hope everyone else is doing good and has a great week! See Ya!!!

At least when you step on your scale it doesn't laugh at you like mine does. Then it makes fun of my haircut and spits on me. Stupid scale.

And, that's awesome that your clothes are getting loose. Hopefully you'll be at that point where you're really happy with your body soon enough. And, I'm sure you will be. Just keep up whatever you are doing. It seems to be working for you and I'm glad that you're seeing results that put a smile on your face.

PS - I like your new avatar.
 
OK! :smacks self to wake up: I stayed up way too late last night. I really need to start going to bed early, but for some reason I haven't been....lol. This week has been kind of an emotional rollercoaster, but I'm happy to say that I didn't turn to my good pals Ben & Jerry for support. Screw them! hahahaha! Aaaanyway, it was a good week...tough on the heart...but it was good.

I weighed myself today...and I'm the same as the last time I weighed myself. So I'll take it. Now, if I could just get myself back on the treadmill. :gives the treadmill the evil eye: I would feel even better. Ok, I think I'm going to go do something...I don't know what....maybe pick up the 50 toys that are in the living room.....or maybe .....do the dishes....or maybe...do some laundry....hahahhaha....yeah those aren't happening. OOooo...look a pillow.... :sleeping:
 
I hear you on the sleep thing. It's awful when i stay up late. Great job on no Ben and Jerry's. Ever try their Phish Food Ice cream? So good but so bad. So if you havent you may not want to. It's like crack to me.

Get some sleep and enjoy the week.!

Getting rest is important. Not just for health related reasons, but for life in general. Whatever you're allowing to keep you up at night isn't worth it. Lay your head, get some rest.

And, sorry about the emotional rollercoaster you've been going through. I've been on a few rides myself, so I know exactly what it can do to your heart. I've actually been going through quite an emotional rollercoaster myself recently. Fortunately, unlike all of the other rides I've taken in the past - ones that have been full of horrifyingly deep drops that have no upswing to allow me back to the top - this current one is full of some pretty big hills that take me up pretty high. But, I've taken so many rides that I like to consider myself an emotional rollercoaster connoisseur of sorts. And, if there is one thing that I've learned over the years, it's the following...

On the way down, close your eyes but keep your heart open. Even though it may seem like forever at the time, you will eventually be carried back up to the top.

So, whatever it is that you're going through...you'll be ok. In the end, you'll be on top.

And, you seem to be doing really good with keeping on track. Keeping on the treadmill though? Not so much. HAHAHAHA, I'm just teasing. You're doing good, Jen. Keep it up.
 
Jen,

Sorry to hear about your emotional rollercoaster...I hope you find peace with whatever you're struggling with.

There have been times in my life when I felt like someone strapped bunge straps to my feet and shoved me over a bridge...the fall is terrifying...and then right before I think I'm about to meet my end...something saves me. And even though bouncing up and down and maybe even eventually just hanging there sucks...I have perspective that it's not as bad as the fall was. And then someone begins to pull me back up...and when I reach the top where they are, I can look down on where I've been and know that I conquered whatever it was. You have a "someone" too...and you'll never be given more than you can handle.

Sorry for the analogy "speak"....I like analogies, :)

Hope you have a great day!
Fit
 
Hello there

I just had a chance to read your diary. First I wanted to congradulate you on your success so far! I know how hard it is to work out when you have young kids I have a 3yrs daughter and a 1yrs old son and by the time they are asleep I rarely feel like doing anything else then sleep or park on the couch to watch tv, but I give myself a giant kick in the butt cause that is the only time I get to clean the house do the laundry and workout so I really really understant why it's hard for you to work out. Also I find it easyer to stick to my healthy eating habits if I write everything down either on my online diary or at home on paper, that way when I hit a plateau or a gain I can compare what I ate during the week I lost vs the ones I didn't it really helps. I will keep up with your journal and hopefully we meet at the finish line!

Why do Nutter Butters have to be soooo damn good?! I just ate like 6 of them..hahaha! You know... they are really good dipped in milk too.. :banghead:

Anyway, I've had a rough few days emotionally...my Grandma died last Thursday. I was very close to her, she was like a second mother to me when I was growing up...so the last few days have been kind of rough. I'm doing pretty good now though, that the funeral is over with and things are settling down and getting back to normal finally.

My only problem now is that there are like 5 bags of cookies on the counter leftover from the luncheon after the funeral. They're calling my name...No...they're screaming my name! hahhahhaha! "Shut up cookies...SHUT UP!" SIGH...they're not listening....stupid cookies...hahhahaha!
 
Sorry about your loss. It's always tough losing someone so close.


I hear you about the NUtter Butters. Not to make it any more difficult but have you ever had them dipped in chocolate? OMG!
