Hello.
Well nothing really exciting has happened this week. I have to admit, I'm not going crazy with the weight loss. I was weighing myself several times a day and that has stopped. I can't say what happned to get out of that mindset but I just did it. I really have an addictive personality. When I get involved with something, no matter what it is, I get obsessed for awhile, then it dies down. So I haven't been on the scale as much. I went to WW yesterday from my wi. I couldn't stay for the me…

OMG I cant' believe it's been over a week and a half since I've been on. I'm alive and kicking, just busy and overwhelmed. And as I look back, I have nothing EXCITING to report.
Last Thursday (9/25) I went to ww for a wi and was pleasantly surprised; I lost 1 pound for a total of 106lbs. Friday (9/26) was my bday and it was the worst bday ever!! Work was just horrible and nothing was going right. My dd hurt her foot really bad (while home with the dh - things always happen on his watch!!) and w…

Ok, I've been MIA, but I have good reasons!! Last Wednesday I went to a confrence at PSU with two co-workers. Overall the confrence itself was ok, nothing new but interesting. Had way too much to drink during a free reception. What can I say, free food and booze is my kind of living!! However, I paid for it over and over. It was nice to have "adult" time. I love my kids, but being away from home was nice!!!
We returned home Friday and I immediately had to clean for my dd's 5th bday party on Sat…

Well my WI on Thursday was pretty good. Once I hit my ultimate goal, the following week I put on 2 pounds, which was frustrating. With my grandmother's death and my crazy work schedule I hadn't been back. Well when I went on Thursday, I lost 1.2 pounds and was very happy. Like I said in my previous post, with the funeral and all, I was aware of my food intake but not crazy about it either. So I did good!
I'm still trying to get back in the groove of things after the funeral and with work. The j…

Thanks again for all your comments and positive words. I survived my grandmother's viewing and funeral. Even gave th eulogy and got through it without out breaking down, at least until the end. I basically did everything (on behalf of my mother) or was the contact person for everything. Although it was stressful, I think it was better that way. I was super busy so I didn't have time to think or emotional eat.
I was worried about my eating, mainly b.c I know me and I emotionally eat. But I kept…

Thanks so much for all your positive thoughts and comments about my grandmother's passing. Today was emotional but I did ok food wise. Not the greatest but Ok. I have to remember I won't gain 105 lbs overnight no matter what I eat. We had to pick out the casket. Surprisingly enough, those that were there, made the process easily and the choices were completed with little or no problems. Hopefully that will continue throughout the next couple of days.
The out-of-town family arrives tomorrow. It'…

My grandmother passed away yesterday. It's still awkward to say those words and have it be about my Ma. She had been ill for some time and we knew it would be coming. However that doesn't make it any easier. And to top it all off, me, my sister and mother are the ONLY ones making the arrangements. My mother always said her sister (the oldest) would do this part, but she's no where to be found.
Anyways, I found myself emotional eating last night. Thank goodness there's nothing "dangerous" in the…

OMG, last night was bad. Food wise I did well during the day. I worked about 10 hours and I made sure I packed enough snacks to hold me along with my lunch. I had a plan for dinner (for myself anyways) until I walked in the door. DH was off with the kids and he got Domino's pizza (now we just had pizza from a local place (which I LOVE) on Friday). Plus, he stopped at the store for juice and he bought ice cream. Not the Breyer's reduced stuff I have been buying for the last 15 months. No the man,…

It has been a LONG while since I posted. I have to admit I've been in a really bad funk with everything we are experiencing financially. And unfortunately, it is effecting my food intake and motivation. I did not go to a meeting this past week and the two weeks before there were gains. So I am doing my best to stay OP and do what is needed to get back on track.
I started back full time this past week. I'm still not happy but it is what it is. I just hate being away from the kids as long as I am…

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Momma Mia - sooo good!!

I cannot get out of this funk that has taken over my life. There are so many things going on, I just want to scream! Here's what has been going on:
I had a doctor's appointment this past Thursday. I made the appoint for 3 reasons: 1 - I've been bruising very easily lately and I thought maybe I was anemic again (I was diagnosed during my last pregnancy), 2 - I suffer from really bad migrains and 3 - I have a lump above my hairline (not the one on my head). I've had the lump for awhile now and I j…

I'm miserable. I really want a chocolate milk shake from McD's but they are 9 points for a small! UM, no way, especially since I have no more pts.
I'm in a real negative place right now. Work stinks, just everything.
Sorry to be so negative. I don't even want to type, that's how bad it is.
Later.

Why do I always feel this way? I have totally lost my motivation to be organized and I'm behind in everything!!! My housework, my work, this blog!!! URRRGGGHHHH!!
Ok, let's talk about the good, the great and the not-so-great!!!
Thursday was the great with my WI. I wasn't going to go to the WW meeting; not because of anything with me, but b.c my hubby was supposed to go out but his plans changed. So I went and I was so glad I did. I FINALLY lost those pesty 2 lbs. and I have reached my ultimate…

Ok, I didn't post for yesterday when I really should have!!!! I don't know what it was but I was hungry all day. It's weird, when I have something planned outside of the house I tend to be really hungry. So anyways, the kids had a birthday party yesterday at 3:30PM (yes a bday party during the week, it was cheaper where my girlfriend had it- kids had a great time!!) so I knew I wanted a piece of cake. Nothing big, but a piece of cake. I've really found that if I know about events and plan to use…

Ok, I'm not sticking with my goal of blogging everyday. How come there's always one piece of the puzzle which is always missing? My friend Melanie (HI Mel) and I were talking about this Thursday after our WW mtg. There's always one thing missing; journaling, water intake, exercising. You could be doing well with everything but that one thing... (fill in the blank!!!)
I have been journaling my food, the old paper and pencil way. My husband, who is a HUGE computer geek always makes fun of me b/c…

Whenever it's time to go grocery shopping and there seems to be NOTHING in the house, I end up eating whatever is available. It's crazy!! My shopping schedule got alittle mixed up this week so I couldn't go shopping until today. My plan was to go this morning but for some reason I just could not get going. And I really was thrilled about taking my four year old daughter and 16 month old son to the store. It's such a hastle. So I hit McD's for lunch knowing I would have the Southwestern Salad wit…

Overall the weekend was good. I was a little overwhelmed dealing with a friend's issue, I didn't get a chance to blog. But I'm proud that I didn't allow his situation to change my eating. It was was an emotional weekend and I could have easily gone straight for the comformt food, but I didn't. I stayed within my points (although I did use some weekly points when the DH brought home my favorite pizza), journaled and watched my intake. I'm looking forward to my WI especially since I didn't go last…

Alright, I gave myself the kick in the butt I needed. No more slacking! I'm gonna blog everyday, along with my food journal (which is right here with me and I finished it!!). We took the kids to the Crayola Factory in Easton, Pa today. I was a little nervous about food b/c I didn't have a plan nor did I go grocery shopping yet. Sent the hubby to get a few things which worked out well. He suggested going to McDonald's for lunch so I new I would have a salad and apples. Overall I did ok. Here's wh…

Today was a terrible food day!!! This week has been terrible. I went out of control over the holiday weekend and can't get out of the defeated mindset. I missed my meeting today due to falling asleep. But to be honest, I was afraid to see how bad it really was. My scale says +3lbs. I've been eating all day long, just for the sake of eating!!! But tomorrow is another day plus my week starts new. Hopefully I will get a grip!!! URGH. Plus, my husband is on vacation and it's really messing with my s…
