Hello forum friends!
I am back online! So it's been a while since I have been on here because of technical difficulties...ok so the summer was eventfull....I am back up at 184.2 or I was on monday....I was really stressed and as usuall when stressed I stuffed my face....first off being home with the kids was stressful....I wanted to enjoye it I feel like crap that I didn't...I think it's just that my house is not set up for full time kids it's too small toys are everywhere we step on them all the time....my son is two and a half so it's temtrum city and even if they get along 80|% of the time I still have to deal with the screaming from my daughter when things don't go her way and the crying and hitting from my son when he gets yelled at from his sister or I tell him no......Also my pc broke and I felt totally cut off from the world...really have to meet people from around here. My credit card account go transfered over to a collecting agency cause I didn't have enought money while on ei to pay the min payement.....I was so stupid not to take the insurance when I got the card......this week was my last one at home I am finally going back to work next monday...so I decided it was time to face the music and deal with the financial hole I had gotten myself into...I when to the collection agency trying to set up payements and lower interest....they asked for way to much I knew that I could never meet the agreement so pointless to even make it so I am entering into a credit repair program it will take over 3 years but at least I am in controle again and moving forward not backwards. If my job becomes permanent full time I can make bigger payement on my own that way when times are hard I can still make my payements. Now that I am on the right track I feel that it will contribute to my weightloss since I am a stress eater...I still have to work on that issue but if i can lower the stress bar why not! I might take a spin class I think it's free if I work at the school...just have to find a sitter once every two weeks. We did a lot of mini trips in the Montreal area this summer like the Parc Safari...that was a lot of walking and we went to the Biodome and botanical gardens, and the insectarium....great places for kids and lots of walking...also in the Old Montreal lots of walking and we rented this bike it looked like a Flinstone car but instead of running the hubby and I where biking....and there is a giant maze took two hours to do ,,,,I kept active and we swimed a lot so I think that all contributed to my not gaining 20lb...I am looking forward to getting back into a regular routine starting monday! Also very happy to be back on here full time! I will also use the loseit website to keep on top of my calorie intake!

Matey, I'm sorry to hear about your financial woes. (Been there, done that, in my time...) But good to know you now have things under control. I'll be thinking of you, and hoping your job does become permanent full time.
As for the kids, well kids will be kids. You'd be worrying if they just sat quietly in the corner and played all the time. Or would you... :biggrin:
All that walking and biking sounds great. Keep up the good work!

Sunday we finished the back to school shopping! Today I am back at work and the kids are back in day care! Next week once my daughter is back to school the sitter and I are starting the potty training....wich mean loads and loads of laundry for me!

OMG day two back at work and let me tell you keeping healthy habits is so hard....I am exausted because I am not used to the routine anymore....plus my son wakes up at all hours he decided since last month that he wanted to sleep with mommy so 5 to 6 times a night I have pick him up while he is trying to climb into bed with me and cary him back to his room.....I wish I could just let him for a couple of day you know and catch up on sleep but I know that if I let him once then it will be much harder so I can`t let him......and he says please with the sad puppy eyes so cute and hard to say know too.....he is gonna one master manipulator with those beautiful brown eyes.....! Yesterday ended up eating chinese for lunch yurk.....and just munching on what ever I saw during the evening....I think I am letting myself off the hook this week....not a free for all just not as healthy as I should...I need a break to catch up on sleep....and laundry and cleaning.....I think I will make a batch of hummus tonight and grab some carrots for lunch tom healthy and quick!

OH MAN I am so happy you said this Veronique lol My little one is about to turn 2 and he does the same thing. I was worrying about the behavior so I looked up some parenting things on the internet. What has been helping for me is getting to eye level with him and saying sternly but gently "don't hit mommy." If I say "no hitting mommy" it makes him cry even more because of the "no." So now if he hits me he does it very gentle although he is angry, and he does it much less often...at least it is improving. I also try to remove the things that will make me tell him no...I think this would not be easy for you to do because you have an older one around...and I try to use no only when necessary...I use don't, stop, and wait more often if needed.
being a mom lol My son keeps waking at 5 am and staying up for 1-4 hours. I don't even want to talk about it lolI had a gain also when I was away, but I'm getting there! Just keep on track and it will come back off Veronique! I am trying my hardest to get as low as possible by the end of the year. I am tired of being obese -_-

hello forum friends!
So I am still eating none stop at least it`s pumkin seed unsalted and raw, still high in calories but full of protein and healthy fats but tom I will measure out 1/4 of a cup and that will have to do for the whole day, if I want to scale to go down, got to watch those portion size! Things are going ok at work ....but on the training side ....it`s like the person who is supposed to train me is too busy with personal stuff to give me work and I am starting to be a bit on the board side! Hopefully clases start next week and we will be back in work mode!
breakfast
tim horton`s wrap
coffee
lunch
(staff lunch)
club with fries, only ate 1/2 the club and a handfull of fries no bacon or mayo on the club whole wheat bread.
Diner I don`t know just me hubby and my baby boy cause my daughter is gone for a few days at my moms before school starts!
Small victory for me only one coffee and lots of water today!

Good day forum friends!
I can`t stay on here long cause I am suppose to be working. I am getting better at not stress eating, it helps that until thursday all monies are assigned to something so I can`t go out and buy stuff
Kids are driving me nuts. They used to be exellent sleepers but now they each wake up about 5 times a night! I wish I could go at my moms for a few days just to catch up on sleep but then she will be exausted and the drive from my parents is long and school started so gotta do things on my own. To hard to wake the hubby up it`s faster if i just take care of it myself and one week out of 2 he is at work during the night anyways! I am also drinking lots of water 32oz at least x2 a day so I am snacking a lot less. I am also running around like crazy doing to different position at work I am trying to learn some complicated finance stuff appenrantly I am the finnance secretary here at school never done anything with finnance but I know I can learn it but only if they give me time to learn.
Breakfast
2 coffees (from home)
oatmeal
Lunch
veggie and lentil soup
diner
who knows! probably a veggie cheese egg white omelette! With a salad.
