So for the last 4 days i’ve been snacking.. alot..stood on the scale today and guess what i’m up 3 pounds…yep not gonna make it to 160 by March 1st that’s for sure!!! don’t know what’s up and where the sudden appetite urges have come from but i’m pissed. Hopefully blogging here will make me accept responsibility…i plan to get back on the right track but i said that yesterday…this sux!!! hope u guys r doin better than me!!!

Hey strangers!! How have u been? Me, I have been BUSY to say the least. So much craziness has been going on in my life…I just need everything to even out and chill out — SERIOUSLY!! Well, I’ll give u a short look into what I have been going thru for the last week and a half — My cousin passed last Thursday…it was for the better though because she was suffering. She was taking dialysis daily and her health was not improving. She had started to have seizures and all so at least now she can rest. It’s sad though because she leaves behind three children — God bless them.  Two days after she passed, I found out that my brother had to have three of his fingers amputated (now we’re @ Superbowl Sunday). He got frostbite while changing his girlfriends tire — yeah I’m still wondering how it happened too but hey I guess stranger things have occurred right? The “good” thing about that is that once he went into surgery, the doctor was able to amputate only the fingertips on two fingers and shave the fingertips on the other two. So, something is better than nothing at all right? Then, I took my son to a birthday party on Monday evening. He had a ball for about twenty minutes. Then he pulled his arm out of socket. He was running and tripped while holding my hubbie’s hand and my hubbie tried to keep him from falling by lifting him up as he fell. Needless to say, his arm came outof socket at the elbow and off to the ER we went. My hubbie was so nervous because as he was driving my son (who is only 18 months) was screaming and I was crying as well…he says “Babe, I can’t take both of you crying right now” R U Serious? maybe I was being overdramatic but imagine ur baby (one and only) crying and he can’t tell u what’s wrong. Anywhoo, it wasn’t as bad as I thought, when I got to the ER, the doc said that it’s quite common at this age especially with people swinging their kids by the arms. He said that the ligaments are weak at this age because the babies are growing so fast…so be careful guys!! So, as I thought everything was okay, Tuesday nite my uncle went into the hospital to find out that he has an ulcer in his stomach. OMG!! Everything calmed down for about four days when Sunday, I awoke to a horrible rash all over my face. My lips started to swell and the rash spread to my neck, chest and back so last nite off to the ER I went…after 3.5 hours they tell me that they can’t pinpoint what caused it but it was just an allergic reaction that I had to something. My mom said that it could be stress as well. Tell me about it.

Anywhoo, through it all, I lost 2 pounds,  I am officially 172.5 — at least something made me smile!!!!

What a way to start a new month, huh? I got a red star!! YAY, I lost 10 pounds last month. Only 20 more to go then I’ll be booty dancing all the way but wait I have to be honest I did do a lil Booty shake this morning as I weighed in— HA!!! So just an update, I had plans of going out last nite with on of my girlfriends. However, when I arrived at her house, she couldn’t get her hair right and by the time we stopped messing with it — I was totally over going out and she was too — it was just SSSSOOOO cold. So I just sat around her house for a lil bit and then I went home — not a waste. That was a good thing because I didn’t have any alcohol so I saved my diet and maintained my success. I must admit though I did eat 2 pieces of pizza yesterday and 2 shortbread cookies. Hey, we can eat treats — just in moderation!! Trust me that was the most moderate I have been in a long time . Oh well, I’m off to see my brother in the hospital. Gotta get the baby ready so that I can drop him of over my mom’s on the way — I hate going to hospitals and I asolutely hate having to take my son in one unless it is a dire emergency. I’ll be back later to catch up on the blogs. Just wanted to pop in and check on my buddies!! Have a great day!! Let’s start this month out right!!! Enjoy the Super Bowl!!! Don’t eat too much!! Oh, and HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN!!! HUGS!!!

So, I’m sitting here catching up on the other blogs. I couldn’t leave without posting myself. I’m doing okay diet wise –well actually I’m doing very good. My TOM is almost over and this is the first month in forever that I didn’t binge eat and go crazy. I’m so happy because when I stood on the scale today, I was another pound down. YAY ME!! I am now 175.5 almost at the 10 pounds lost mark. That’ll be motivation. I’m a lil down cuz the hubbie and I are into it.  I’m proud of myself though because I am usually an emotional eater and whenever he and I are feuding I eat like crazy. You wanna know how determined I am this time? I didn’t eat anything that was off of my diet. I have to admit that I did find myself in the cabinet searching for junk because I was so peed off but I grabbed a Nutrigrain Bar instead — YAY ME Number #2!! It sucks how inconsiderate and unaffectionate hubbies and bf’s can be sometimes and it really sucks that we have to deal with their crap. Then they are quick to say that we are PMSing — R U SERIOUS??? So since our fight last nite, he has been giving me the silent treatment, usually that really bugs me (and he knows it, but this time the silence was welcomed!!! I think that he knows that I am not concerned because he tried to talk to me this morning before h left for work an I just rolled over and covered up my head. I know I was being a lil childish but it felt good dammit!!!

One of my BFF’s wants to go dancing out Saturday so I have to lose at least another 3 pounds (that’s a far stretch in only 5 days but anything is possible, right?). I had told myself that I was not going to go out partying again until I had reached 170 ( I love to dance and was using it as motivation and an incentive to stay on track) but considering the circumstances, I need a night to myself!! I don’t have to worry because I’m not much of a drinker but the bar that we are going to has the best shrimp!! (If I dance enough, I’ll be okay right) Hey, a girl has to dream!!! I’ll probably just eat before I leave.

Anyhoo, enough about me, how are you guys doing?? Have a good nite!! TTYL8R!!!

Hey guys!!! I have been doing well with staying on track with the diet and weight loss. I was very surprised today when I stood on the scale and found that I had lost 2 more pounds. I was very happy as well. I expected the complete opposite because it is that time for me . That surprise was very much needed though because I was so upset that my period came anyway and then on top of it coming (like I could escape it) it came a whole week early — ugh. I needed something to get my spirits back up. Usually, I retain so much water and get so swollen and bloated. I guess that the hard work paid off this time because the scale went in the opposite direction — yay me. I know it’s only two pounds but it’s the little things that make us happy, right?? Now I have to get on target with the running thing. I would have already been into it but I have been a little sick lately. Now that I am feeling better, it’s time to step things up. I don’t know about tomorrow though because my back is killing me and my cramps are deadly. I guess that we can’t get everything that we ask for, right?? The hubbie and I were supposed to meet a couple of friends at the bowling alley tonight but I didn’t feel up to it so we stayed in. So, how are you guys holding up?

Hey Everyone!!! I know that it has been awhile since I last checked in. I promise to do better and not disappear like that again. One of my closest friend’s and I have decided to kick this weight loss journey up a notch and give it our all. She isn’t a member of this site yet but plans to become one…I will keep you updated. I told her that you guys make such a huge difference. So, what’s new with you? I have started the “eating right” thing again and don’t plan to stray from it. I have motivation to stay on target… a few baby showers that I have to attend with old friends that I haven’t seen in ages so I gotta look my best, the Hubbie’s birthday in March, my birthday in April ( it’s at the end of April but I hope to have lost a significant amount of weight by that time –as close to 25 pounds as possible so keep me in your prayers ) and my participation in my first 5K in May. So guys, I promise to keep you all updated and to stay as focused as possible. I need all of the support that I can get and I plan to do the same for you guys!!!

So today after class I finally stuck to my plans and went to the gym. I was there on the treadmill for an hour and enjoyed every minute of it. I have been saying for the last three weeks that I am going to go back to the gym but I have not found myself headed that way for some reason or another. Laziness and The Devil always gets in my way. I pay for a membership to Lifetime every month and have not used it in forever!!! I don’t know what it was…but I think the other nite I had some sort  of realization that I need to do something for myself. It’s like I’m always doing for others from the minute that I wake up until I go to sleep at nite but I never make time for me…  I mean “allowing myself 2.5 hours a day to go to school” isn’t necessarily what one would call a break - but tell me if I’m wrong. So I said to myself “you know I’m going to make time for myself. Being a stay at home mommie and a full time graduate student isn’t easy and we all need a mental break from time to time. I’m going to leave school and head straight to the gym” …all work and no play makes kjsmommie a dull girl!!!  So I did it and when I got home, my baby greeted me with smiles which warmed my heart and we played and played until he dozed off. Then Hubbie says where were u and my reply –”On Vacay” …lol.  How are u guys?

I haven’t posted on here in a couple of days. I have been way too busy…sorry I promise to get better. I have been sticking to my diet but I fell off a little bit. I am back on track so YAY things are looking up!!!! How have u guys been?

So i had been doing pretty well on my diet and I beyond proud of myself. Today was my mom’s birthday and I couldn’t truly celebrate without a piece of birthday cake… you know just for good luck!! I did have a small piece and I didn’t overdo it. I just hope that I didn’t ruin all of my hard work in a couple of hours. We’ll see tomorrow once the scale weighs in, right? Wish me luck!! Enough about me for tonight, how are you dieters doing on your journey?

Hello everyone….just saying Hi! I’m new to this and hoping that it will keep me motivated to get back down to my pre pregnancy weight. The baby is now a 1 year old toddler so it’s time for me to get serious!!! Well, I hope that you enjoy my blog and I’m looking forward to “blogging” with all of you!! Good luck!!!
