Momma4alex’s adventures in surprising my man….

Hello all

Hey everyone. Thanks for the support and thinking of me notes while I was away with dh.

Things were great being with dh. I couldn't have been happier then when i was in his arms or watching him play with our son. He seemed like he was a lot happier too having us there with him. We discussed a lot of things to do with our future and when we are going to have another baby and what not. we decided to let nature take its course and if we are meant to have another baby, it will happen when the time is right for our bodies, even though it may not be the perfect timing as far as financial things. :rotflmao:

anyways, we both seemed like we were happier. Dh said that I looked great and seemed like I had more confidence in the bedroom.. haha.

I can't wait for dh to get home from all this time away and I miss him like crazy right now. It felt great to see dh and be with him 24/7 except when he had to go to work or pt since they didn't give him leave when we were there but either way we had a great time. we got to see my best friend and my grandparents while together. Alex got to spend some time playing with kids his age and dh and i and my best friend and her hubby got to spend some time without the kiddos for once.. lol :)

I sure hope I didn't gain weight while away but I'm back and hoping to get back into the swing of exercising more then just walking and the bedroom stuff.. lol even though I can't say I didn't like that part it was great too... haha sorry if tmi. anyways just thought i would update a little as to my trip and my plans to get back on track for the time being as i want to continue to lose weight.

Heather
 
Welocme back and glad you had a safe trip!
That is awesome when hubby's notice the changes
you have made and the happy happy that you show
more of.GL with letting nature takes it's course me and
nature don't comunicate like that anymore lol.
Have a nice sunday Tammy:)
 
well today has been hard

Ugh i have no motivation... where did it go??? :confused: I so totally want to be the hot sexy wife and mother although i'm not sure alex really would really want me to be hot and sexy when he hits his teen years... haha I seem somewhere between the trip to see dh and now that i'm back and away from him again have lost my motivation and need to regain it. This totally sucks. I mean he loved how sexy I looked and made me feel like I was worth a million dollars to him which totally boosted my confidance and made me feel good but now that we are apart again. I just can't seem to regain my focus on losing this weight and I really need it to come back.

Ok food today:

Breakfast 2 cups of cheerios with 4 oz of 1% milk and 1 sliced banana
Lunch: baked apple bagel with 1tbsp butter and 2 small slices of pizza
Dinner: 2 turkey burgers with 2% cheese on them and mixed veggies(corn,peas,greenbeans, and carrots)
Drinks: apple-grape juice and water.

No exercise today as I just haven't had the drive to do it and it totally sucks cause its like hey i'm here are you going to use me and i just don't have the drive to get my ass up and do it. what's wrong with me?? why is it that after seeing my husband after 3 months and actually hearing him tell me how sexy and hot i look that i have no motivation to continue on this path to getting even more in shape and all that... why oh why...

We did decide that if I am not pregnant this time that we are going to use protection until i'm ready to get pregnant.. lol anyways i think the possiblity of being preggo right now is part of why i'm lacking in motivation as i'm worried about being pregnant and me causing something to go wrong if i was to exercise as much as i have been before this or what not and me go back into total depression over that. :doh:

I guess i just need some strength and support from you all to tell me that i'm not crazy and that things will be alright even if i'm pregnant and all that i can safely exercise and stuff and not do any harm to the baby if i am pregnant which at this point we don't even know if a baby exist yet... ahh i'm going to drive myself crazy. why do i do this to myself. :( anyways thanks for listening and sorry for rambling on about this when it really has nothing to do with weight loss.

oh yeah on that topic i did lose 2 lbs while away with dh even though no formal exercise was really done besides tons of walking. lol

Congrats on the 2 lbs loss!! That is a biggie!! I would have gained!!

Heather, look how far you have come, and look how short of a time it took you. Please don't give up. Read the first entry in your diary, to remind yourself why you are really doing this. As for the possibility of being pregnant and exercise : we all know doctors recommend exercise during pregnancy. You might not want to go totally crazy in the next two weeks but since you are doing this for a while, your body is used to it. I am totally planning to exercise while pregnant even running. (I talked with my dr. she said as long as I am confortable with running I can continue )
Just think about how much boost it was to your confidence to lose the 25 lbs!! And think how much more boost it will be for the next 25....
Don't lose focus on goal!!

Hajni
 
Thanks so much Hajni.

I am feeling a lot better after getting it out, instead of keeping how i was feeling inside. I think talking bout it with you and cerella and dh really helped me see that even if i am pregnant doesn't mean i have to totally stop working out and giving up on my progress that i have accomplished thus far. that just cause i can't lose weight doesn't mean i can't safely continue on my path to getting healthier and infact it would be better for the baby in the long run.

thanks to all of you who have helped me through so much already in the short time i have been on this forum. its the best.

Howdy Heather,
Your doing so great! Congrats on the loss even be away
from home!!I am so proud of ya,your 1 tough cookie.Hope your day is wonderful Tammy :hug2:
 
Ok well today was rough. I have been feeling like getting sick no matter whether i am laying down or sitting up which makes taking care of a 3 year old whos always on the move hard not to mention trying to exercise or anything but i did get my share of exercise in. running to and from my bedroom to the bathroom incase i actually got sick a lot today. I also carried 2, 25 lb bags of kitty litter in to the house from my mom's friends car which was out on the street so about 10 or 15 feet from the front of my house.

plan for tomorrow: after i got to the store of course:
breakfast:1 bowl of honey bunchs of oats with sliced banana and 1 cup of 1% milk for the cereal
Lunch: grilled cheese sandwich and chicken soup
Dinner: spaghetti with meatballs
snack: granola bar and a yogurt
water: 64 oz
exercise: 25 min elliptical and trying the learn and burn section of turbo jam.

well thats my plan for tomorrow the food may change depending on what i can afford to buy at the store so i'll let you know for sure tomorrow morning. ok going to bed now as i am feeling sick again and think maybe going to sleep will help. hopefully. see you all tomorrow

weekend,Tammy:hug2::hug2::hug2:
 
Ok sorry everyone, I have been kinda in my own little world of misery the past week since having to leave my hubby's side. I think it was one of the hardest things i have had to do. I have no clue how my hubby managed to do it several time without showing much emotion other then the fract that he's not a woman. and he can hide his emotions much better then we can. Ok well anyways, i'm trying to break outof my bad streak and get back on the ball. I don'thik i'm pregnant and if i was I won't be for very long as i am spotting/bleeding but not like tom. well its after 12:30 am and i want to make sure i get up no later than 9:30am so i am heading to bed. I'll log on in the morning and post my plan for tomorrow's menu and exercise for the day. Also if we get any news about my hubby's paperwork to get him home. Ast that has been adding a lot of stress to me and our family as we want to be together but have no clue when that is actually going to happen as the army is taking their sweet time getting the paperwork through and getting him home to us. Not much we can do about it though its all on the army's schedule not ours. well off to bed.. see ya in the morning.
 
Ok well its official i'm not pregnant and I took my meds today for the first time since i got back from visiting with dh. Anyways, they give me the boost I needed that and the challenge from my friend holly to do at least 15 minutes on the elliptical today got me motivated to do it. So i did 25 minutes on the elliptical 3 miles, 308 calis which boy did that kick my booty. I also walked 2.5 miles with my son, sister and mom in the mall today as we took my son so he could play at the playplace in the mall. I'll update on the cal deficit and such tomorrow as its 12:38 am and i need to head to bed. Just posting that i finally got my groove somewhat back and got on the elliptical for the first time in 2 weeks as my last workout on the elliptical was the sunday before i went to see dh which was the 7th of october. yikes.. man that sounds bad.. ok well its over now and won't happen again. I need to use the elliptical to help with weightloss and get me toned up too. I wanna look smokin' hot when dh comes home next month. Although he loved how i looked when i seen him earlier this month too.

ok well i really need to go to bed. haha i still got tons of energy thanks to the meds and my exercising finally.. lol

Hi Heather
Just want to encourage you to KEEP IT UP! You're doing great; it's amazing that you lost 2 lbs while off on vacation/visiting dh! So thrilled it went well and you all had a wonderful time together. Keep your eye on the fitness prize (a hot bod and more!!) and just remember how far you've already come. It must have been great to know dh noticed...and approved ! ;)

All for now
:eh:
 
Howdy Heather,
Way to go hitting that eliptical and to have a friend do it with ya thats great support!I know your going to have a great week you have lost so much so far and it seems like yesterday that ya just started!:hug2: Have a gr8 a day Tammy
 
Thanks abbagirl and tammy for your continuing support. It means a lot to me. I can't believe how for I really have come. I mean since july 12th when i seen my doc i have lost a grand total of 29 lbs and since i found this forum thanks to my best friend autumn(sexypiscesbabe) i have lost a total of 27 lbs on here. It feels great to know how much dh approves and loves the new found confidence in me and the fact that i am going to be keeping his ass in shape in the bedroom as well as in other aspects of our life as we start a new chapter of it when he gets back home for good. lol :) we got great news today as far as my dh's paperwork and getting closer to him coming home for good and i can't wait to hear more news. which we should know more tomorrow afternoon. i'll update you all as soon as i know more as some of you were worried about how i was doing with all the changes coming home my home life. thanks but things are going great so far.

well menu today was good but not as good as it could have been as i didn't eat lunch due to running around trying to figure out what was wrong with my laptop computer which i found out i have to send to the manufactor to get fixed which i'm glad is still under warrenty as it could cost a fortune to replace. due to them saying it was the motherboard that went out on it as the hard drive when they put it in an external hard drive worked fine. anyways i will be without it for 7-10 days once i get the packaging stuff from the company to send it to them but for now i'm not totally without a computer as we still have the desktop computer and i can always get dh's computer if i need to from my mother in laws until we get my laptop back if i want to. lol :) the joys of having my laptop, dh's and our desktop computer plus my mom's.. haha well anyways i'm wide awake cause i was bad and didn't take my meds until dinner time so now i'm wide awake along with my 3 year old who didn't take a afternoon nap until 6pm so he slept until 8 something and now is wide awake as well. hope all is doing well and see you soon. oh yeah i walked like 4 miles from 2-9pm which isn't bad but other then that so far no formal exercise. but tomorrow i'm hitting the elliptical for sure. along with doing some weights and maybe some core workout.. haha. we are hoping to join a gym when dh gets home and we both can workout for while ds plays at the daycare center on site for an hour or so each day.

Ok well today was going great until dinner time. I'm not sure on exact calorie totals but i know dinner was at least 900 cals between everything.. yikes. so i'm a little over where i would like to have been for cals but tomorrow is back to normal I promise.

breakfast: apple-peach smoothie
snack: 15 low sodium ritz crackers with tuna and bacon bits mixed together
Lunch: pepperoni hotpocket with water to drink
dinner: lazagna with 2 pieces of sourdough bread w/1 tbsp butter and 20 oz mr. pibb
Desert: 1.5 scoops of reese's peanut butter ice cream

exercise: 4 miles walking and 30 crunches
 
Glad you are back to exercising. Breaks are good, as long as they stay "breaks" and don't venture into permanence. I am sure leaving the hubby was a big factor in making you unmotivated. It would kill me to not see mine all the time. You are a strong woman, stronger than you think.
 
Keep goin' Momma - literally and figuratively! You've done a great job losing your weight so far. You're still committed to the exercise; don't know if you have an eating plan you're following. I am on Weight Watchers, but I think counting calories would work just as well. I seem to need to weekly weigh in and "Ra! Ra!" of the meetings. My "leader" lost 30 lbs 7 yrs ago and has kept it off, so she is pretty inspirational.

Anyhoo, just wanted to pop in and tell you to KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

cheers from :eh:
 
Hey there Heather,
So the meds keep ya up or did ya just wanna
stay up?Congrats on all that exersicing your doing great,the rest
will come easier for ya with each day.Hope you enjoy your weekend Tammy
