Scale is broken!

I changed the batteries in my scale and now it doesn't weigh correctly.  Every time I step on it, it says something different. Soooo I don't know what I weigh, what I lost.  I am going to just weigh in Saturday after I buy my new scale.  I feel like I have lost weight, even though I have been dealing with these last 5 pounds since the first of December.  Does everyone else just get stuck sometimes?  Slack off?  The last two weeks have been awesome. I have been following my menu I have been making for the past two week and I have exercised every night.  Yesterday I rode my stationary bike in the morning for 20 minutes before work and 30 minutes last night.  I can feel it in my legs today.  I give myself spirts ( is that a word) of when I stand up and ride.  I definably adds something.  I took a picture today.  I wanted to compare it from when I first started. 

That's a least 45 pounds!  Today I am wearing my Kentucky Blue cause our #1 team in the nation is playing yucky ol' Tennessee tonight.  GOOOOo Cats!! 

Lots going on this week

First off I did not weigh in this week.  TOM was in town and I was really bloated.  So I skipped.  Hoping next week I see a good loss.  I made out a weekly menu and I have to say that works well for me I am going to push myself to continue to do that.  Last night my son snapped a picture of me and the husband playing UNO.  Oh no! I ended that game real quick and jumped on my exercise bike.  That picture depressed me the rest of the night, I guess it motivated me too.  My daughter gets to start pre school tomorrow.  I had to go through this whole big process to get her approved.  She has a speech problem, like a lot of kids she does not enunciate a lot of words correctly.  For example she will say "poon" instead of spoon or she will say "mell" instead of smell.  I have been going through the process since August and she finally gets to start tomorrow.  She will be so excited when I tell her she gets to ride the big bus with her brother.  I of course will take her the first day. :)  The early start program is at my son's school which is really cool and convenient.

Also I know this stuff is not weight loss related but I really need some prayers.  I have a final court hearing on Thursday for my custody with my children.  Now I am not trying to not let my ex husband not be able to see the kids I just want to make sure I have full legal custody.  Which means I have all say in schooling, doctors, ect.  Last February I got re-married.  My ex-husband kept the kids while we were on our honeymoon.  While I was gone he un-enrolled Tyler (son) out of his school he had went to all year round and en-rolled him in another school closer to where he lived.  When I found this out I was livid! I quickly enrolled him back in his school.   He is bi-polar (not medicated), he has had TWO dvo's on him,  one of them was on me, he hasn't kept a job in years, he went to jail for 90 days for stealing credit cards, he has given my 40.00 since we have been divorced.  He is supposed to pay half of daycare, he don't.  I pay 740.00 a month people! He is supposed to keep them on insurance, my current husband has them on his.  I could go on and on but I won't.  I just need prayers that everything goes my way.

Weigh In

Last week I ate crappy.  The first part of the week started off good but by Wednesday it seemed like I was a hungry hungry hippo!  I couldn't seem to stop eating..Grrrr.  I was expecting a gain not a 1 pound loss! I will take that.  I am still 1 pound away from losing the 7 I gained over the holidays but I'm thinking this week will be a good one.  Fingers Crossed. 

Im not super woman

A couple of weeks I fixed something my son had broken.  He asked me how I did it.  I responded to him with the answer "I am super woman" My son was like no your not where is your cape? He insisted I wasn't super woman for the rest of evening.  Well last night my family was sitting around the living room watching some TV and my son was doing his homework.  He asked me for help, I helped him figure out the answer and he said to me "Mommy your smart but your still not super woman" I said "why not" he says "cause your not skinny"  :(  

Weigh In

Happy Monday!  Well as I said before I really messed up over the holidays.  I am ashamed to admit it but when I weighed in on January 2nd. I had gained back 7 pounds! Wow seven pounds in about two weeks? I was really disappointed in myself.  Well I am happy to say last week I followed my eating schedule and when I weighed in on Saturday I lost 5 of the 7 pounds I packed back on my rear.  If I could manage to do a repeat this week I would be on cloud nine. Isn't crazy how long it takes to lose the weight but you can gain it back in an instant. It happens, but I will not give up. 

Last post of 2011

I have been struggling the past week.  It seems like I have eaten so much.  I haven't worked out since the 20th.  I'm up some pounds and TOM joined me for Christmas.  BLAH.  So needless to say I have fallen off the wagon. 

The Plan: I found a website that asked me how much I wanted to lose and by when and it charted me out how many calories I need to eat each day to do this.  My calories go down some every week.  I have made an entire meal plan for next week. I plan on taking this meal plan and making my grocery list.  I plan on doing this every week so I can keep track.  I also made myself an exercise schedule.  I will be hanging all of this on my fridge at home.  My goal right now is to be down another 60 pounds in five months.  Something do-able right?

I haven't been a good blogger lately.  I suck.  I haven't really felt up to it plus I have a lot to get done at work these days.  I will try my best to get to blogging more often.  Thanks for sticking with me guys!  I still read each and everyone of the blogs I follow.  I love to hear how you are doing and get some inspiration for myself.  I comment when I am on my computer.  A lot of times I read blogs through my reader on my phone. 

New Years Resolutions? Hmmm well there is a lot I want to accomplish this year.  I want to lose this weight of course, I want to organize my home and redecorate, I want my life to run smooth and have no complications.  Is that too much to ask? :)  I don't know if I want to say these are my resolutions, lets just say they are my goals.  Does that mean the same thing??

I hope each one of you have a great New Years!!!!!!!

Drum roll please...

I have a winner.  I used random.org so my winner was totally at random.  And I can't figure out how to insert the widget.  So anyway it said 7 So Briana you are my winner! 

Things at work have calmed down a bit so I will update since I haven't posted in quite some time.  As I told you last week I managed to lose 3 pounds.  When I started vacation on the 12th I have every intention of working out everyday and eating super good.  Alright that didn't happen.  For the first two days I ate horrible.  I started out okay on Monday but didn't exercise. Tuesday I came to work to pick up my husband and one of  my provides sent me a box of Godiva truffles...wtf! Man...I brought them home and and put them in the freezer and they were on my damn mind all day.  I ate one..two..then three damn truffles were in my belly by the end of the day.  I gave a couple to my kids and hubby and then put them back in the freezer.  No exercise on Tuesday either.  Wednesday: Truffles screaming from the freezer...it was muted but I could still hear them. :)  I got them out ate two more then threw the bastards away.  I ate like shit that day.  I was like okay Sharon tomorrow we will just start over...how many times have you said that?  But Thursday that's what I did.  I went to the gym that morning.  I ate very healthy all day and counted calories and weighed everything out. Then Friday I did the same.  I worked out, and ate healthy.  Saturday I ate healthy.  I got the kids together and was out the door to the gym but my damn car would not start.  I called my husband and told him (he works on Saturday driving) he got a break and came home and what do ya know it started right up for him.  By then it was to late to go to the gym because the daycare closed at 12:30.  DAMN! I could have worked out at home but didn't.  Our family made Christmas cookies that night and I didn't eat not a one.  Sunday morning when I weighed I was down three pounds! I was so excited to see that.  I have been stuck losing one pound a week for weeks now.  I was off Monday and Tuesday this week too.  Went to gym both days.  Skipped yesterday and I plan on getting on my bike tonight and using my hand weights while riding the bike.  Ya know Jillian says you gotta work your small muscles in with your big muscles. 

Speaking of Jillian I did the 30 day shred on level three for the first time a couple of weeks ago.  I really like it.  I guess because it is such a challenge. 

Well that is all I have today.  I can't believe it is almost Christmas.
