14 weeks...

30 pounds! I need to post a picture soon of the halfway progress. Its great to get rid of clothes that are too big...not too small!

Updates to my life

So, my biggest happy thing right now is that Tyler is (mostly) potty trained! WHOOOOO HOOOOOO! Its great not buying quite so many diapers. He is in pull ups, but never really does anything in them. He even stays dry after naps and nighttime most of the time. Yeah for Tyler!

After 10 weeks of WW now, I have lost *almost* 25lbs. I'm down one size and already have a stack of clothes that are too big. It's still going well, and I'm LOVING seeing the scale at a place it hasn't been since awhile before I got pregnant with Tyler.

Oh, and I'm ready for fall now. Enough of this hot weather.

After 5 1/2 weeks...

After 5 1/2 weeks, I have now lost 15lbs! I can now wear my "fat" shorts, instead of my "really fat" shorts...LOL. Still a ways from my goal, but seeing the scale going down is great. I am happy too, I don't feel deprived of anything really, and if I really want something "bad" I just budget for it, or workout a little harder. So far so good...

After week 1

Well I lost just over 4 pounds for week one. Go Me!! LOL. I'm really getting used to this. I even have my husband checking the nutrition labels and asking for diet coke. I ate out for my birthday and had brownies, but that's okay because it was my birthday! People probably were looking at me weird today in Walmart as I was looking at the nutrition labels of everything and checking my little point calculator. But I found some low point yogurt and lunchmeat, which is great!!

Took the plunge...

Well, I finally decided that I was fat enough and decided to join Weight Watchers. So far so good, but its only been a week. Maybe someday when I get skinny, well, when I lose some weight, I'll do some before and after pictures. Its funny how all the sudden food has gone from ruling my life in that I ate everything to food ruling my life by analyzing everything in how many points it might have. This really doesn't seem as hard as I thought it would be. I still seem to be able to eat and be full, I just eat healthy. I think as long as I keep seeing the scale go down I'll do alright and stick to it. Poor husband, he'll have to start suffering through salads, low fat stuff, and maybe even sneaking in veggie patties and veggie corn dogs for dinner. I'm going to try to keep this updated, not really for anyone else other than me--to keep me motivated to eat right and get up at 4am to exercise. (yep, thats early, but after 5 minutes of Tae Bo, I'm fully awake!)

Okay, I agree...

Okay, so I'll agree that they look a lot alike...

 

Boy, the beach sure was crowded!

 
 
 

PLEASE PRAY!

Please pray for our friend's little girl, Meredith. She has been recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Neroblastoma at only 7.5 months old. She is waiting to start chemo, but is fighting an infection right now, so they have to wait for the fever to subside. The prognosis is pretty good, since she does not have the very aggressive type of Neuroblastoma. Please pray for her healing and for her family for strength.

I cannot believe it!

I am just amazed that Sanjaya made it through to the top 12! He is SO terrible! I can't stand to look at him, much less hear him sing! He better be the first to go next week.

Hmmm......

Have you ever had a "shriwp"? I'm not sure I have. This sign has been like this for at least a month now.
