I called today to find out because i need to get them in for well child visits and shots . the doctor is no longer there I was told and they are trying to get the girls in with someone else . So here i sit waiting for the phone call when i could be doing other things . I'm not feeling very productive today can you tell ? On top of that i have to get my oldest in so that i can... Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:44:03 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1048012 I finally have a machine that i enjoy using go figure . I trotted the stupid treadmill straight out to the trashcan where it belongs ! I tried on some summer clothes to see what i need when the weather gets nice . I was really surprised to see that I may need a lot more than I thought . I had a bunch of shorts that I was sure would fit by summer only to find out they are too big now . Not that I'm complaining . LOL This may be the first summer in a long time where my poor legs may see the su... Sun, 2 Mar 2008 13:00:01 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=781510 It's been an awful week . My stomach is in knots . I've had 2 major arguments with hubby this week ( oh I forgot apparently I shouldn't call him that because that's a term of affection he says I never show ) . My week started off having to call my boss about an employee that decided not to show up for work all week or bother with contacting the neccessary people to let them know when she would and would not be in . In a nutshell this hasn't been my first run in with the same ole situation and... Wed, 10 Oct 2007 20:17:13 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=660337 So I hate my treadmill . I know nice way to start out my blog right ? I am doing the biggest loser part 3 challenge right now and this weeks inner team challenge is to log cardio minutes . Wow I wish I had lots of uninterupted time to go walking outside . I do but it's at 11 at night and the kids are in bed . Who wants to get eaten by mosquitos , so I get on my stupid cheap manual treadmill everynight after work and sweat and complain for 20 minutes . Which is honestly pushing it for me . I t... Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:16:50 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=596836 I am going to start tracking my food and excersize again to get back on track . I am such a liar especially to myself . I haven't excersized in a while besides the occasional walk . and yesterday I started off good then ate pie and went out to eat . You don't even wanna know what i ate at the restaurant all the while telling myself it was fine . LOL It was not fine . I do not wanna see 200 pounds again . AND if I keep this up I will . SO......... starting today I'll be tracking again to make ... Fri, 8 Jun 2007 09:33:11 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=594561 I am so bad about even keeping a private journal let alone a public blog . So....... it's been a while again . I have been so bad last week and the first part of this week so far . I had a class to go to today like 2 hrs from here and on the way home we stopped at mcdonalds . Now I know what I should and should not eat but I ate a big mac meal with fries , then to top it all off ate an ice cream cone . Then , I ate beef ribs for dinner with pasta salad . What the heck was I thinking !? Anyway... Wed, 6 Jun 2007 21:33:30 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=579043 I made my first short term goal off 199 about a week ago ! I can't believe I actually made it under 200 pounds . it's been a longgggggggggg time since I've seen that . LOL My next goal is 175 . After that I'll take it from there . My final goal I think will be to be between 160 and 150 it depends how I feel at 160 . To be honest I thought I'd stop at 160 because I had serious doubts that I could make it that far , but now I know that it is possible . I love spark ! Mon, 28 May 2007 10:36:40 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=520513 It's been a while since my last blog . To update you all I'm currently doing the biggest loser challenge it started April 2nd and runs for 12 weeks . i hope to lose at least 20 lbs during this challenge . i find that I am very motivated one week then the next I'm all out . I've lost 4 lounds so far on the challenge . I went to the store yesterday and tried on a pair of jeans size 16 so yay for me . They actually fit . I hate to see fluctuations in the scale though . It's about midway through ... Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:28:08 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=481132 I just saw something that struck me as funny . Now maybe it's because I've only had 4 hrs. of sleep ( baby sick) And it's like 6;30 in the morning but , when i went to spin the sparkpoints wheel it said spark people t shirts ( Now featuring plus sizes ) LOL Isn't that why most of us are here ? Because we are plus sized ? Ha Ha. Couldn't help it . It just struck me so funny this morning . Sat, 24 Mar 2007 06:51:17 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=474657 I have lost 22 lbs. so far . i can't believe it . It's just been not quite 2 months now . I was really bad this weekend and worried i would gain . I went to visit my aunt whom i haven't seen in 3 years . It was a 2 hour trip and we took the girls . Trinity my baby was sick . I thought maybe she was just teething but but by the time we got there she was cranky and snotty . My poor baby she seems better today but now neva has it . I have been on vacation for 2 weeks now and just went back to wo... Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:32:08 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=462303 Wow i have been looking up my food log for the past week or so and i have had more off days than on days lately . Plus I don't really understand how to use the calories burned chart I guess . I hope I am doing it right . I figure as long as I get on my treadmill it has to be doing me more good than harm . It can't hurt . Even if i am off track at least I'm toning up what I got right and in the future I will have more muscle than fat . Isn't that supposed to burn fat faster . It would help if ... Sun, 11 Mar 2007 11:09:41 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=460255 well I'm averaging walking on a 5 % incline on my treadmill for at least a half a mile a day . There have been a few days when I even did a total of a mile . I'm slacking some on strength training I realised so I did that today . I've had my on and off days lately but I don't think I've done all that badly . I'm trying to stay within my limits. One day I have trouble going over in fat , the next it's too many calories or too many carbs . I'm working on finding that balance . I did lose inches... Fri, 9 Mar 2007 13:01:21 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=453715 Well i'm on vacation i have written many private blog entries and so far can not figure out how to view them . The kids are making me nuts, I haven't lost a pound in like a week or 2 , my body is going nuts too , I'm missing that all important thing I do every month . Well I'm not exactly missing it but it should be here and it isn't . Then to top it all off my comapny had me let a girl go right before my vacation started and it's apparently came back to bite me because she hasn't yet turned ... Mon, 5 Mar 2007 11:37:11 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=437046 I managed to have a great day complete with snacks and feel full and not go over my limits for the day . Plus I did excersize , ( I still have a little trouble with that )lol I'm still stuck at my current weight though . Hopefully the scales will show my hard work in a few days . I can't help but to keep looking at it , I try not to but I still weigh myself like every other day .Anyway , it was my day off so i tried something new and created a recipe . Well I looked one up online and did some... Wed, 21 Feb 2007 19:40:58 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=422085 This is the end of the first full week of trying very hard to change my eating habits . It's been difficult between here and work to do that . I never eat breakfast , so after a few hours at work I'm starving .But I gag in I try to eat to early . When I'm there til 7;00 at night it's hard because I'm tired right when I get home , yet I have to walk in the door change diapers let the dog out and do the dishes before I can even start dinner by then it's 9;00 and i'm tired , cranky and shaky bec...
