Monday Weigh-In Report

Well.........I LOST 7 POUNDS!!!! Yay! Hooray!! Yep, I was a little excited at the scale yesterday! I lost a WHOPPING 7 POUNDS!!! I tried really hard last week and IT PAID OFF!!! It was like I was new to this plan AGAIN! I cared about what I put in my mouth and I stayed on plan through the whole week, even when I was tired at the end of the week! I just kept reaching for those fruits and veggies and it worked. I love that we can now eat all fruits and most veggies without having to pay the price of a point. It makes it so much more convenient.

Special thanks to my friend, Maggie, for suggesting the sugar carrots! We got some and WE LOVE THEM!!! I can just grab a couple and go. It's so nice. My kiddos REALLY like the sugar carrots too!

Anyway, I lost those 7 pounds and 2 more points too. :( Yep, because I went under a certain weight I lost 2 points for the day too. That was a bummer, but I think I'll be okay anyway. I had a real hard time eating up my points last week, so I think I'll be okay. We'll see......

Okay, so I am going to try to get on the treadmill again, four times this week, and eat REAL good too. We'll see.....

How are you doing with your control this holiday season? I have actually avoided baking so far, but I'm going to have to pretty soon..... Yikes!

Okay, have a great week and best of luck staying on your plan this week. You CAN do it! We ARE going to do it! :)

Thanks!

Check this out. You can get some really "pretty" jewelry for super cheap. I was just checking this website called Chunkybling.com out this morning and one of the really cool things you can do is buy these really cool watches that are mix and match faces and bands; you can change them to match whatever you are wearing. Some of the jewelry that I saw was really cute and good priced.

They have build your own watches and build your own necklaces. How fun would that be? The prices that I saw ranged from $8 to $30. Not bad.

Here are a couple of pictures of what I saw...

Monday Weigh-In on Tuesday

Well........I'm sad to say that I was NOT very successful last week in controlling what I put in my mouth. :( I knew what I was doing, but REALLY 12 pounds in one week! Yep, I fell off the wagon BIG TIME! Okay, soooooooo aside from my size and weight, I think I can officially call myself an "addict." I knew our WW plan was changing and it was kind of an excuse to just say to myself that I was REALLY going to start fresh this time.

Okay, so our plan changed BIG TIME!!! Weight Watchers is not what it used to be. I am not a really big supporter of change. I have a really hard time and I usually fight change all the way. Yes, even with WW. We have been through a few changes with them and I ALWAYS take my sweet time making the change because I am stubborn. I don't want ANYONE telling me what to do, especially when it comes to me and my food. Don't get between me and my food. :)

Okay, so REALLY, this time, I have wiped my slate clean and I have started all over AGAIN! One of the biggest perks to the "new" plan is all fruits and most veggies are FREE!!!! We used to have to count points for them, but now they are FREEEEEEEE!!! Well........I LOVE FREEEEEEEE!!!! So, I have been trying really hard this week to stay on plan and I feel that I am doing well so far. I know we are only three days into the new plan, BUT it's day three and I'm doing good. I EVEN dug my FREEEEE Dr. Oz blue bracelet out that says "Just 10." Now, it's now fashion statement (it's not very pretty), but it is something tangible that I can wear and see and feel, and it is there to remind me that I have a goal! No, my goal is not 10 pounds, my goal is actually 5 pounds, but I have something there to remind me.

I did take the day off from working out today, but I did workout yesterday and the day before. We were planning on having to take Faith for Tae Kwon Do testing tonight, so I knew I wouldn't have time for working out this evening, but as it turns out testing was cancelled. BUT, I still didn't workout.

Okay, so this is another not-so-good report. I hope you are having better luck than I am........

Thanks!

Sooooo.......

I have been having a hard time getting back into the groove of things. It is the end of the month and I need to make my budget work-wise, so I have been putting in a little "extra" time working too. So, it has been hard for me to get back in the groove of things.

Well, if you are from here (Spokane), then you know that it is snowing LIKE MAD! Well, I DON'T LIKE SNOW. I panic a bit. I don't like driving, so guess what? I have a really hard time dealing with all of this snow and trying to venture out and getting some deals. So? Guess what else? I haven't been out and I'M GOING CRAZY!!! I WANNA GO SHOPPING!!!! I have +UP Rewards that are expiring at the end of the week, so I HAVE to get out there sometime. I'm hoping that the snow will slow down towards the end of the week and Blakey and I can head out.

Okay, so on another note.....I have been feeling kind of down and sad today. I wasn't sure why. I thought that maybe it was 'cause it was snowing (really) or maybe it has to do with work, OR maybe it has to do with my kids. Yep, I was just thinking about it and my daughter and I got off on a bad foot this morning. I really really don't like that, because what happens in the morning can really really affect someone's day (mine and/or hers).

Well, many of you have met my daughter, Faith or Faithy as we like to call her.

Well, quite honestly (if you ask me), she is such a sweet sweet kiddo. No, really, I have gotten many many compliments on how well-mannered and sweet she is. I know, I know, we all think our kids are the best and I am not trying to brag. I'm just trying to paint you a picture of how I am feeling right now.  She is so very gentle, kind, caring, loving, and then some. Really, when she cries it just breaks my heart. She plays by the rules and is VERY VERY literal. You tell her to do something step-by-step and by golly she is going to do what you told her step-by-step, JUST like you told her. This girl follows rules!

Well, anyway, I'm feeling like a bad mommy right now. So, a few weeks ago her first tooth came loose and we pulled that. It was one of her bottom teeth. Okay, when I was pulling that one I noticed that the tooth next to it was loose as well as the two top ones. I told her that she was going to have to work on it and make it more loose. So, I have been on her lately to try to work on it, but she doesn't want to "get hurt." Okay, so this morning it was REALLY REALLY loose, but as she told me she "didn't want it out." I said to just let me look at it and see if I could get  it out, "but I don't want it out. It hurts." I told her that I knew that it hurt and was uncomfortable, but that I felt it was time for it to come out. I told her that if we didn't pull it then her other teeth would come in and they would not come in right. They would come in "lookin' funny." Well, she told me that she didn't care. So, she was crying like mad and NOT happy with me at all. Finally, after about 30 minutes of trying to pull this thing. It was ready, I was just too chicken because I didn't want to hurt her and she was crying that I was having a hard time getting that thing to come out (I was shaking). So, by the end she was crying and I was frustrated (not how I like to be with her). Now, she is happy because "the tooth fairy" is coming tonight and she lost another tooth, but I'm still sad and feel guilty about being frustrated this morning and making her cry.

I know they say this "job" of being a parent doesn't get any easier, but realy does it have to be this hard? My heart is REALLY broken right now......
