Hey beauty...
just dropping in to say... "what the hell are you still doing up? Get to bed!" HA! I'm kidding... good job with pushing pass that first plateau, elle doll...
-Sheryl
Thanks Sheryl!lol. That's the same way with Chloe, we thought that she liked me a lot but then when she saw David she was over the top.
:] babies are definitely adorable. Thanks about the 15!!
Thanks miss bella! :] I'm already surprised how fast she's growing up. She's trying to crawl already. She gets from her back and rolls over and then just kind of makes circles on the floor. lol.

Hey elle, congrats on the 15 lbs lost so far. Also your niece sounds so adoreable too. my son used to do that but he would get mad after a few minutes on his tummy when he couldn't move forward or backwards. so he hated tummy time. anyways he's napping now so off to do my cardio for the day. hope i can get in at least 45 minutes if not the full hour. talk you later. hope you have a great day.

lol Chloe used to get that way too. Talking about children makes me want to have them. Can't wait til I hit the goal weight, get married and then in a few years start trying to have a little one of my own. :] Not too soon though, still want to have a bit of fun!
And look at you! You were hoping to get at least 45 minutes in and then I read your diary and you got the full hour in.
go you!!

Last night David and I went to target. We went there because he had an idea that I should buy a shirt that doesn't fit me now, but that will fit me once I hit my goal weight. I thought it was a great idea because it'll make me work harder so I can fit into it sooner.
Also picked up a new exercise dvd. It's by Leslie Sansone and it's some walk at home 5 mile walk thing. It came with a firming band too. So who knows if I'll like it but I figure it's worth a try.
Still at 196.5 today. :] I've gotta go exercise and then hop in the shower. I'm making dinner tonight so that should be fun. Hope everyone is doing well!

I think that the shirt idea is a good one. I have a dress hanging in my closet right now that is about 1 size too small for me currently.
But because of the way it is cut I could actually put it on.........wouldn't look so good but would be on. LOL
I was suppose to be able to wear it in Puerto Rico when we were on vacation. That was before I got on the wagon. So I am now hoping to be able to wear it for Thanksgiving.
Keep the pace!!!

Today was interesting... yeah, interesting.
I did that dvd and it was pretty cool. Definitely got my heart rate up. I did the whole thing which is 5 miles. rad. also got in 100 each of crunches, leg lifts and push ups.
Didn't end up cooking what I had planned on for dinner. I just boiled 8 portobello mushroom stuffed rigatoni and heated up 1/4 cup sauce and called it dinner.
I didn't do much of anything today, very relaxing.
Anyway, I need sleep cause my eyes are burning like a mofo.
I'll hopefully check in tomorrow, it's gonna be a busy day.

:] Thanks Amber. I'm definitely glad I have his support in all of this too. He's such a help, even on those days where I'm a raving lunatic. lol

okay, so I've been MIA lately. Sorry for that. Things around here are just insane lately.
I've been eating well and doing 5 miles a day plus a bit of pilates and crunches and such.
Still at 195.5, I think this might be the beginning of another plateau, not sure though but I'm going to kill myself with exercise today and eat a bit more than usual.
Wednesday my best friend, Kelley came back from California.
So last night, my second family(Kelley's family), David and myself all went out to dinner as a bit of a welcome home for Kelley seeing as how we all haven't seen her in about 2 months.
We all went out to red robin (my old workplace) and I have to say that I did very well. I got a burger but ate less than half of it and ate all my fries which was like 9. Oh, and of course I only had water (all I drink now).
After having a blast at dinner with my second family David, Kelley and I went to good old walmart. I had to get some sports bras and a kitchen scale. Picked up some awesome pink sports bras, and got a scale but it's super craptastic. it just doesn't weigh correctly so I'm gonna return it soon.
I'm going to try and come by more often, it probably won't be everyday like it used to be but it'll definitely be more than once a week. I've just had a lot going on and it's always been hard for me to juggle a lot of things at once. I feel bad because I'm way far behind on how you all have been doing but I promise I'll catch up soon. I haven't forgotten you all!!!
for now though, I need to go work out and grab some lunch. I hope that everyone is doing great!!!!

Hi Elle!
Don't worry about the scale. Have you lost any inches lately? Glad you had fun with your friend and her family. Hope your labor day weekend is fab.

I can definitely agree about the seasoning. I like it but sometimes the cooks go a bit overboard with it. I usually just ask for none on it and just add as much as I want.

Hi Kimberly!! I can't say that I really measure myself on a regular basis so I'm not positive if I've lost any inches of not. :/ I guess I'll have to dig out the measuring tape and see
You better have a good weekend too! Gotta make up for the loss of Michigan :]

Hi elle, thanks so much for posting in my diary regarding all that i posted last night. Dh emailed me today with an small update and said he will keep me updated with what he finds out and all that. he also said he has a plan for if things don't go the way i would like for them to go right now. so that made me feel a lot better. anyways today was good in both food and exercise department for me not sure on total cals but spent the day with my mom, sis and son swimming for 2.5 hours today which was a blast as we haven't done that in a long time. lol anyways hope you have a great rest of the weekend and hope to see you around more soon as things start to slow down there.

It's good to hear that your hubby is going to keep you updated and that he has a plan for things if everything doesn't work out as originally planned. :] That's awesome that you did great on eating and exercise, I know it's hard when you're under stress. Swimming is so much fun! I wish I still had a pool but even right now it's getting almost to that point where it's a teence too cold where I live to go swimming. lol. You lucky California girl!

Good Morning everyone!
Weighed in this morning and the scale says 194.5 pretty exciting, 2 more pounds and I'll have lost 20 pounds!
I gotta go hop in the shower though, my sister, my niece and I are going to visit my dad and step mom out at their campsite in about a half hour. Then tonight when I get home David is coming over to cook me dinner (steaaaaaak, potatoes and veggies!) because today is 11 months together. He's wicked adorable. So, I don't think I'll be back on tonight but I'll be back tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good rest of their day!
much love to all of you!
