Heather,
I just saw the halloween pic of you and your son
from lastyears halloween awwww so cuite!!!!!He is adorable!I hope
you have a wonderful weekend,keep up the great work,stay positive
and keep the eliptical going,Tammy
 
Thanks elle, and tammy for stopping by.

I am hoping to get a better pic of my halloween costume on here by halloween night as i still have to get a new shirt and the make up on and all since it was just a quick pic to post for the challenge.

Ok well i didn't make my goal for the Halloween challenge so I am even more determined to make it for the Christmas challenge. I just gotta figure out where i'm going to aim for as that is a shorter challenge. Food today was pretty good i mean i only ate twice since we got busy and i kinda didn't eat breakfast before going out shopping. So lunch was a chicken sandwich as we were out shopping and then i had a 3 inch phillip chicken sandwich and a few fries for dinner tonight. total cals came to like 1300 cals between everything due to having soda with lunch and dinner. lol thats my bad day for the week.

Exercise: 30 minutes on the elliptical, tons of walking around in the mall, and a few other stores and went to the pumpkin patch with alex. and got some new resistance bands as that was one thing i didn't have so i'm going to do some exercises with that. i'll update later on all that.
 
HI Heather,

I have not written in you diary for a long time, but we talk on msn all the time so I always know what is going on.
Congrats on getting in the elliptical yesterday even after a busy day like that. And if you only ate 1300 cals that does not qualify as the bad day of the week... :jump:

Have a great week and talk to you later.

Hi Heather! Just wanted to stop by and say hey. :] You're doing awesome! How was the pumpkin patch? I always love going to pick out pumpkins!!
Hope you're doing well today hun!
xoxox
 
Hey everyone, the pumpkin patch was fun and tiring. we got 4 pumpkins all picked out my mr. alex. He think's he's the boss when it comes to those type of things. he even tried to pick out my clothes for me today when i went to go buy the shirt for the rest of my costume. It was so funny. he was like no mama not that. i was like but i want that one. haha. so he was mad cause i didn't get the one he wanted me to get. Anyways, I am still at 234 lbs but this is a new week and i plan on kicking ass in my workouts and stuff since i bought some resistance bands yesterday and boy using those for not even i think 5-10 minutes and my arms felt like they were going to fall off.. lol i thought using the hand weights was doing good but sheesh my arms were sore this morning and that was just doing like i said 5-10 minutes using the light resistance band. I think i'm going to keep using it and work my way up to the others that my set came with. Hopefully that will help me continue to lose weight.

Plan for tomorrow:
breakfast: fruit shake, and small bowl of cereal with sliced banana in it.
Lunch: turkey sandwich with grapes and carrots
Dinner: hamburgers grilled and salad with tomatoes and grapes and such.. very yummy.
snacks: granola bites and rice cakes.

Exercise 30 minutes elliptical and 15 minutes strength training and maybe a 30 minute: ab,butt and thigh video i have. I'll let you all know for sure tomorrow. for now though i'm heading off to read a few more diaries then head to bed.
 
woohoo

Ok well first off i had to buy a new scale as my old one died but the new one says i weigh the same as my old one did so thats great. plus this new one is a body fat analyzer and also tells me my hydration levels.. which i thought was cool plus it has a memory input for up to 4 users. so my mom can use it and never confuse her info with mine.

:jump: now for the really exciting news.. Dh's paperwork was finally approved. YAY!!!! Woohoo.... now we just have to wait for him to do the first reading and go to jag which he's doing on Wednesday providing nothing happens between now and then. Then after that he just has to wait for them to get his orders to him which will take 5-7 days then once that happens it will be another 5-7 days before he is home for good but another 2-3 weeks and my husband will be home for good.. woohoo i can't wait. Oh yeah we talked about my staying home and finishing school since i talked to a few different colleges and dh can do online classes along with me while working.. so thats a great plus also.

well its 3:30am and i am going to bed now. I'll talk to you all tomorrow have a great day if you are already up if not see you all when i wake up.

heather
 
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!:hurray: That is absolutely fantastic news about DH coming home to you soon...for good! Oh, you must be so thrilled! Does that mean you might actually have him home in time for Christmas?

Sounds like everything is coming up roses for you right now, my dear. Keep working hard at working out and you'll just keep right on shrinking!

cheers
:eh:
 
Thanks abba girl. Yes i am very excited about my dh coming home. He will be home for christmas if i have to go up there and bring him home without the military's ok. I am not spending another christmas with out my dh. I refuse to do that. its bad enough that he may not be home for thanksgiving and we haven't spent thanksgiving together since the thanksgiving right after i found out i was pregnant with our son. due to him being stationed overseas and then deployed. right now we are just hoping he's home by thanksgiving but if not for sure by christmas for sure. I'm going to keep going on the weightloss and hopefully i will see 230 by the time dh gets home if not before as i am still stuck at 234 right now. ugh.. it sucks. I hope by saturday when i weigh in that it will be lower then that.

ok well i'll update all later on my food and exercise as i have to get lunch made and ds down for his nap. see you all later.

Howdy Heather,
Hear I am chatting away in your diary lol :willy_nilly:.
I wouldn't sweat it your doing awesome on your food and exersices
(specially the eveil eliptical)lol that you won't be seeing 234 for long!
I am excited for you about hubby coming home before X-MAS that is
1 PRICELESS gift.Have fun going trick or treating hope the little one
cleans house!Have a winderful day Tammy:waving:
 
I am glad you are going to get some more face time with your man soon! Keep up the good work and he will get face time with a bit less of you!
 
Thanks Tammy and Amber for stopping by. You both are always so nice and thanks for the support. Its really helps to hear so much good things about keep going and stuff.

I am super excited about dh coming home soon. I think the news yesterday is actually what kept me up till 3am besides chatting with friends online last night.. lol Anyways, today was good i didn't do the evil e as some like to call it today although i had planned too.. but i did carve 2 pumpkins and did some weight training for the upper body today tomorrow will be elliptical and lower body weights.. besides tons of walking taking the little one to the mall to do trick or treat.. so hopefully not too much candy as candy is always a big temptation for me.. and brownies.. my mom made some to take to work and i'm glad she didn't bring a bunch home.. lol :) anyways, dh said he would call me when he got up to let me know how things go as far as the reading and such.. i hope we get some more good news like that it won't take long for his orders to come back in less then a week. cause then that would mean he would be home for thanksgiving for sure.. I guess a girl can hope right.. but we aren't holding our breaths. cause we haven't spent a thanksgiving together since 2003 which i was sicker then a dog due to being pregnant with alex.. lol we had just found out a few days before thanksgiving too that i was pregnant with him so it was nice surprise to my 21st b-day and thanksgiving as i had found out on my sister's 18th b-day that i was expecting. haha how's that for a nice b-day present for my sister. Hey happy birthday sis your going to be an aunt.. haha she loved that idea though.

Anyways back to the game.. i am kicking my ass this next few weeks. I am hoping to lose 9 lbs if possible by my 25th bday which would put me at 225 lbs exactly. Anyone think i can't do it.. :) I am sure damn going to try my hardest to make it.. lets hope my body works with me.
 
HI Heather!!
So the Christmas challenge is on tomorrow. This time I am sure you are going to lose a lot more lbs than I am!!! LOL. Right now I am thinking of shooting for 8.4 lb loss for the 7 week but I might modify that to 7 lbs total. You are going to do great I am sure of it!! Keep on focus with all the birthdays and holidays coming up and you will be fine...
Have a great day i am sure we will be chatting soon.

Hey you - we have been hit and miss lately and I apologize...Ive been absolutly exhausted this week...I worked Sunday and early Monday which started a dbl shift then I worked overtime on Tuesday and ya...it started out rough...lol...but Im finally done my nights...for now anyway but they are done...*Pweeeh*

On Wednesday night my friend Michelle worked the afternoon shift adn she was off at midnight adn I started at midnight so...she stayed for tea and gave me a card reading which was great...she said she has never given such a powerful reading before and half the cards she has never seen brought up in a reading...and she is always fdead one with me...my last two readings were great she was right on the mark...time to sit back and watch it all happen...

And as you know last night I went to John's before work so that was nice we cuddled and such...we didnt really talk we just laid there and held eachother and cuddled and it was nice...very nice...and I think I am doing the right thing...I left there feeling at peace , calm and at ease...

Anyway I will stop writing a chapter in your diary...I hope to chat with you today sometime:)I dont have to go to work tonight!!!YES!!!I wanna party.

ladies.. i am now officially a college student again..

Ok well i finally am now officially a college student again.. yikes.. :willy_nilly: I signed all the papers today for me to start school again this month. School starts the 19th of November with orientation on the 15th.. yikes.. Ok deep breath.. lol i am super excited but scared at the same time. I mean i know i can do this just gotta put my mind too it. Kinda like the weight loss thing. I know i can do it just have to focus on it.

Don't be shocked if you hear me bitch about it here in my diary once classes actually start.. lol I'm going to be exhausted cause i'll be dealing with alex and dh coming home and going to school full time plus keeping up with my house. yikes ok that sounds like a lot but i'm going to love every minute of it. This is something i have been wanting to do for so long and now i can finally get back into it and am going to rock. Just gotta have the support from all of you to keep me on track.

Ok well food wise was kinda crazy today i have only ate techinally twice but once was just a few little pieces of candy and then dinner.. yeah i know bad.. but i was at the college from 12:30 to 3:45pm today which didn't expect it to take that long. at least alex got breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks today while we were out and about. :hurray:

Ok hope all is going well for you all. hope to see you all in the christmas challenge as i am looking forward to it all plus school and my hubby coming home in the next 2 weeks.. woohoo..

Today was an ok day for me.. :party: its day 1 of the christmas challenge. I woke up feeling sick to my stomach and alex i think is getting sick again but other then that i still pushed myself to exercise. I did 6 miles on the elliptical and did 2 sets of 20 bicep curls with my resistance bands and a few other arm exercises and plan to do some lower body and crunches tonight. I had a gain this week in the stupid scale :rant: so i am hoping that it will be back down by next weigh in. I was hoping to be down to 233 by the today but nope.. lol so that means i got 10.6 lbs to get down to my b-day goal. :ack2:

Ok today's menu:

brunch: turkey sandwich on whole wheat and chicken noodle soup and 2 French Vanilla Cappuccinos bowl of fruit, :piggy: (850cals??)

Dinner: chicken quesidilla, soft taco, and bean burrito 32 oz Mug rootbeer (1,070 on food not sure on the 350 soda??)

total 2,270 cals
exercise: burned 424 cals 6 miles 32 minutes on the elliptical earlier before dinner and did 2 sets of 20 bicep curls, 2 sets of 15 tricep extentions and 1 set of 15 overhead press all with resistance bands.

more exercise to come later??
 
:waving: A few peices of candy if ok it's when the whole bowl is gone then it's a problem lol I put the kids bowl up in the cabnet so I don't have to see it everytime I go into the kitchen lol.
GL and CONGRATS on being a school gal again,your going to do fine!
I hate the scale to this week but I take 1/2 the blame and TOM gets the other 1/2 haha.Ok heres to a AWESOME week ahead,Tammy:cheers2:

HI Heather,

Seems we all had an "off" week this week. I gained 2.2 lbs too:puke:and cheated on Saturday. I did not even post my menu as I was so embarassed. I think I consumed my sugar intake for a whole year on SAt.
DD is still sick, not so high fever anymore but she is not herself and now Dh and I are getting sick. I hate getting sick I am such a baby when it comes to it.
ok, so I am now concentrating on the Christmas challenge!!
You will do good in school I am sure but you will be super busy. If you can pre-plan your food for the week it will help you out greatly!!
Talk to you soon
