Momma4alex’s adventures in surprising my man….

Hey Heather - the balance is hard - ha - I dunno if I have ever found it or will...I work crazy ass on call shifts - have both the kids , the animals and all of Taneesha's activities...I usually feel liek I am loosing it - ha ha ha - The house work and energy is the hardest...but it can be done , Im single and I do it:)...LOL

Im sorry we have been hit and miss lately...Im still not 100% and working on gettin better - Im tired lots...

Im glad you joined the challenege - I think it will be good for both of us...lets do this together - now that we are at the same weight - ha ha ha...
 
Hey everyone.. thanks for stopping by cerella. man i am super tired of this up and down crap with my weight. i get down to 230 and now i can't seem to get past it.. its annoying. anyways got good news as far as school goes. i may be done within a year for my degree now that we have my transcripts from my previous colleges in to the equation. we transferred 20 units in which is just over 6 months worth of classes i would have had to do if i hadn't got my transcripts.. so wooohoo.. other then that news everything else is still up in the air.. like always.. i hate not having a set time and date for things. drives me nuts..

i'm all set to get serious again for this challenge and work my ass off. i am so determined to get down to where i want by my son's birthday and don't care if it kills my legs and stuff to do it. i will get there one way or another. right now my goal is 200 lbs by june 25th 2008. which is my son's 4th b-day.

so we will see. right now that means losing at least 35 lbs since i weighed in at 236 a few days ago. not sure where i am at now since i am stuck in the middle of major bloating and my body trying to decide what its going to do.. stupid body.. lol ok well thats my update.
 
Good Morning/afternoon everyone

Good morning/afternoon everyone.. its a very chilly monday morning for me over in california.. haha

Hope everyone is doing well. I am doing good. Although no where near my weight loss goals. So I decided this morning I am going back to the focus I had when i first joined everyone on this wonderful forum. I am planning on counting calories everyday this week and then seeing what my average intake is and going from there to determine where i need to actually be to lose 2 lbs a week.

I am planning on going to the gym 5 days a week and working out from home on the weekends if not in the gym. i am going to do cardio 5 days outta the week and strength training 2 days a week. Then swimming on the weekends as i can take the kiddo in the pool with me. haha.. :blush5:

Anyways.. any advice from those of you who have been where i am.. i'm just trying to get back my focus and lose weight instead of gaining it all back plus some... thats not on my adgenda at all. no gaining.. i refuse too

ok so help kick my ass into gear will you all... i am determined to get down to 200 if not lower by my son's 4th b-day or else no cake for me.

:party:
 
Howdy Heather,
Sounds like my PLAN lol counting calories
have really worked well for me and when you get used to it you really don't have to look at lables daily because you will no by heart how much calories are in something specially your fave foods.Anyway I know you can do it!
Ty bunches for all your support,have a happy valentines day,Tammy
 
HI Heather!!!

The plan for counting calories sounds great and I agree with Tammy, once you get into it, you will know calories counts by heart and it won't need so much of your time. Your exercise plan sounds awesome that is something I am trying to stick to , 5 days of working out.
I think I am motivated again, but you can always count on me to push you in the right direction!!!
Talk to you soon.

:waving:Hi Heather!
Wow, you certainly have had a time of it lately. Life is just so up and down, isn't it? You appear to be KICKING ARSE with your WL plans, I am very pleased for you! It just feels so good to be shrinking, n'est pas? (That is CDN for "isn't that right").

Very sorry to hear about your other type of loss, a while back. You are such a neat gal, and a good wife and mama. Hang in there, and you will eventually be blessed again with another little one, I am sure.

Blessings :grouphug:

Thanks Hajni, Janice and Tammy for stopping by.

I am doing well as can be expected for being thrown back into school life and still dealing with family life on top of it doing the paper route with hubby.. thank god thats almost over.. only another 2 weeks and we are done but then that means hubby's going to be going out on the road for 6 weeks and i won't get to see him :( anyways.. i'll update all on that later when we know exact dates on that him leaving.

School is going good. I am not quite having way done yet but got A's in all my classes so i'm very happy about that. Well gotta go will update more later. hugs everyone.

HI Heather,

Congrats on school going great!!! I am sure it is not easy to study and get school-work done with a toddler running around!!
Don't forget your exercises!!!
I know it must be hard thinking about hubby's leaving for 6 weeks but how about if you look at it like a mini "surprise my hubby period?" You can loose bunch of weight in 6 weeks and surprise him!!!

Talk to you later,
Hajni
 
Well everyone.. my weight loss journey has been put on hold for at least 9 months hopefully. i got a positive test on tuesday but it was really faint. so i took several more over the course of this week and they all have been positive. so that means no more losing weight till the baby's born and i get the ok to exercise at the 6wk appt. i am going to continue to work out just not push myself to the max anymore to lose weight. i wanna make sure that you all know how greatful i am that i had your support thus far and am hoping that all you great people will still be losing or maintaining when i get back to the losing part.

no i'm not leaving you all for good. just for a temporary time. i can't lose weight while preggo its not healthy for me or the baby. i am going to continue to workout but just enough to keep my strength up and make sure i don't gain to much weight.
 
:biggrinjester:CONGRATULATIONS!!

Very pleased for you, Heather. I know this is what you have wanted for quite some time. May the whole experience be a great blessing to you and your family!!!

Hey everyone not much to update you on but i am currently 6wks1day. i have my first doc appt on monday so after that i will be able to give you all an official due date and when i will be back full swing in losing weight and hope you all are still here or maintaining your goal weights. I miss this site so much but since i can't officially lose weight on purpose i really don't have much to update on right now. Things are going smoothly as possible right now for this pregnancy. Ds is doing good and dh is getting ready to start work on monday. he leaves for his training/job after my appt on monday so hopefully we get good news for that appt. or i am really going to be a mess. talk to you all soon.

Well doc appt went ok. not what i was hoping for but still ok. I get to have my ultrasound done on april 15th @ 12:15pm so i'm hoping for some very good news then as i'll be 10wks along for that appt. then i met with my midwife on april 21st which is also the day i start school again. only 1 1/2 weeks left of school for this quarter.. woohoo.. can't wait. i'll update again after my ultrasound. i hope that everyone is doing good and i miss this place a lot. i so wish i could still lose weight but be healthy for the baby at the same time. ugh.. ok well see you all later.
 
Had my ultrasound April 7th 2008 and baby is doing great. Heartbeat was 156bpm and baby measured 7wks5days giving me a due date of 11/20/08 which is little over a week difference from what my due date should actually be. the doc is going by the first due date till we have another u/s. so my due date is officially 11/12/2008 so baby could come anywhere from 1-2 weeks before my birthday if i make it to term. yikes.. lol ok well thats all the update i have till my next d/a which is april 21st.
 
:biggrinjester: How WONDERFUL to know that baby is doing just fine! Very pleased for you. Take care of yourself (and you-know-who!).
