Hi friends!!  I’m actually busy these days!!  I’m trying to get caught up on reading how you all are.  I’m still feeling good and positive about my health kick!  I did end up getting 6 work outs in last week.  I work at Curves again tonight.  I love having somewhere I have to go.  I’m thinking of you! Keep doing your thing!

Hey buddy’s!  I’m happy to report that I’m still on the chow wagon!!  I work my first day at Curves tomorrow morning.  I didn’t get 6 work outs in but tomorrow will be my fifth.  I’ve been tracking my calories again.  One day I was under 1200!!  It wasn’t long ago that I couldn’t imagine only having 1200!  I’m so going to try to have more of those days.  I think I’ve detoxed.  I haven’t had any cravings (knock on wood) even if I did though there’s nothing sweet in the house anyway.  My weight has been climbing this week but I know that it’s due to my hulk like muscles!  Oh yea, I’m built like a tater tot!! One hot potato  So it sounds really weird saying “I have a job!”  I’m going to work!  No one gets to go with me!  I won’t be spit up on or have to change a diaper!  Whoooo hooooo!
I better go rock a bye my little poop/druel machine !

Well first of all I’m going to do 6 workouts at Curves this week.  I already have done 3.  This gets even better!!
I was offered a job at Curves!!  How perfect!!  I’ll only work 2 week days for 2 hours and then 7 - 11 on Saturday (not every Saturday even!)  The only downfall is that it pays pathetically.  I however don’t care because it will keep me working out no matter what!!  I’ll get paid to workout and chat with ladies!! I’m actually realizing that I REALLY can be in shape again one day.  I’m gonna be ripped man!

I did very well eating healthy today.  I did good yesterday also but then got hungry later because all I ate was a bowl of brussel sprouts with grated parmesan.  Tonight I ate later in the evening ( well see if this works).  I know it will I’m not going to waste my week of hard work on some stupid snacks!!
ttyl!!  I’m going to go to bed early since we burn more calories sleeping!!

Oh my goodness!!  I said I would change my ticker no matter what this morning.  I was 210 lastnight and 216 this morning!!
Can you say “water buffalo?”
I’m so glad I stepped on the scale lastnight or I would be bumming.  My fingers look like sausages so I know it’s water.  We had spaghetti & garlic toast for dinner and I had chips and salsa later.  DH and I also had our last bad snacks for awhile.  (Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls)
Today I will be cleansing my body of all the bad stuff.  I have kept up on the small portions but changed my snacks horribly.  I used to eat a bowl of brussel sprouts with parmesan cheese for a snack.  This is why I stopped losing weight.  As soon as trouble brewed up at home I turned to the comfort foods.  At least I learned something about myself.  That is that I am an emotional eater.  I either eat poorly or don’t eat at all.  Both are not good!
Today my ticker is almost back to my starting weight but I did learn a lesson.  It only takes a small amount of time being off program to gain it all back.  I HAVE to make it a total life style change even when the going gets tough.  I think now that DH wants to lose weight it should be easier since we can work as a team and encourage each other. So here I go again!!  In five months I went from 220 to 206 then back to 216.  It’s time to see a steady decline in pounds and inches!
April 23rd, a new start !

Hey!!  I weighed myself after we got home from our little break.  I had eaten breakfast and plenty of beverages and I was down 3 pounds from Friday!!  I drank a boat load of soda lastnight too.  I have a renewd hope for my shrinkage ( I hat saying weight loss cuz I have so far to go)
Shrinkage!!  My goal is to wear a size 14 by 5/24.  Dh also made a goal to lose 10 pounds for the same date.  Better yet it would be awesome if the 14’s were loose.  I must confess.  I have not exercised for 2 weeks!!!  This week I HAVE to make up for it!  Do you think my weight was down because I’m turning into a mush ball (losing muscle?)  I just can’t have that!!  I even feel mushy!!  Back to Curves and the bike for me.  I’ll weigh tomorrow morning and update my ticker wether it more or less.

I’m very excited!! Dh and I are going to drop the kids off at his parents today.  We won a 24 hour babysitting coupon for christmas.  Cashing it in today!!!  We’re going to go stay at a suite at Grand Casino Milacs.  Even if we only watch TV and sit in the hot tub it will be sooo PEACEFUL!!!  24 hours to ourselves!!!  We’re bringing my Granny too but she’ll be out on the floor gambeling.  She’s taking us out for dinner.  I’m siked!!  I just can’t wait to drop off my little angels and go “ahhhhhhhhhhh”  then tonight I’ll be missing them again.  I’m sure I’ll get by!  You all have a wonderful weekend!
I’m going for some R&R!

So, I was 214 when I weighed in on Sunday.  I didn’t change my ticker because I hoped that a few pounds would go with TOM.  Today I’m back to 211 so I dropped 3 pounds but it’s a re- loss.  I’m okay with that!  I have a problem though.  I went to the Dr. yesterday thinking I must have something wrong with my kidneys because I’ve had some major pain in my lower back and sides.  The good news is that’s it’s not my kidneys.  I have been having muscle spasms in my back.  I thought it was menstural cramps!!  That’s why I was such a downer last week.  I was hurting!!  I didn’t work out at all last week because I was feeling so crappy.  I haven’t this week either but I’m going to try tonight.  I’ll see what I can do with out hurting my back.  In the mean time I have muscle relaxers and 600 mg of Advil to keep me comfy. 
Have a good Wednesday everyone! 

Hi buddy’s!
I have come to the end of my “poor me” time.  I’m done with it!  My goal was to be 180 by my B-day May 24th.  Guess what?  It ain’t happening.  I do however hope to wear a size 14 by 5/24.  I’m going to have to work my butt of though.  Is one size down reasonable in a month?  Either way I’m going for it.  Thanks for all of the inspiration this morning.  I haven’t even been able to read everyones blogs yet.  Now I remember again why this place is so wonderful!  Have an awesome day!

Ewww that blog last night was way to negative.  I was mostly kidding!!  I’m excited today because my sister is visiting and we always have fun.  I’m also excited about Jane’s blog regarding strength training verses Cardio.  It’s not that I hate cardio I just love strength training! 
Here’s a quote for the day by my beloved friend Maxine

Have a great Saturday !

I have nothing interesting to say so just quit reading this right now!

Okay, you asked for it!  I’m not gaining, I’m not losing.  I didn’t make it to Curves once this week because I felt crappy all week.  I may have felt crappy all week because I didn’t go to Curves.  I ate M&M’s and I loved everyone of them.  TOM is still here.  I hate him.  I’m thinking of removing my uterus myself.  Ouch, that would hurt.  I can’t even give my self a decent hair cut!  I seriously though I was going to give birth to something today.  Cramp city and it ain’t pretty!
Me my inner tube and my uterus are going to bed now.  Good night!
Sweet dreams and all of that crap!
