[well actually I could, it could be 5 lbs or 15..lol but anyways] I am happy and cant wait until next weeks weigh in =-) yeah right like I will wait a whole week to weigh in, but today is my "cheat" day so I know I wont be weighing in for a few days.

not much but Im getting there and thats all that matters. 

yesterday=fail.

Yesterday hormones where raging, I was sad one minute furious the next and it wasn't just one thing its all the stresses of life plus some personal issues [and lets keep it at that] but yesterday I wasn't feeling like a person that cared about getting healthy I felt like a person that wanted to sulk and eat a gallon of strawberry ice cream thankfully well I guess it was thankfully we didnt have no ice cream but I did not take the time to prepare a separate meal for me and the kids had noodles and chicken breast mixed with cheddar stuff by Ragu [it was great by the way] but instead of taking the time to fix me some of just the chicken and cheese i went ahead and just had the noodles as well, I was having a bad day and if carbs via pasta was gonna make me feel better it was a risk I was willing to take and between the noodles and talking on the phone to my bestie for close to 3 hours I did end the day in a fairly good mood compared to the mood I was in so yeah it was worth it and when I weighed this morning i was still down more weight. Not much not even a pound but its better than staying the same or even worse *scary music* GAINING! *screams* but I managed I realized I have to live life as well as get healthy and in life there are bad days, or even back weeks [Im hoping not to have one of those anytime soon] but you just gotta flow with it right. So heres to flowing =-)

hello exercise.

So fast forward today [well we already did but that was the introduction so ignore that] and I woke up feeling fatter. lol I dont know why I just did but I weighed on Sunday and I was 163.8 [yikes] and then today I weighed [Im weighing every other day I know it doesnt work for everyone but it works for me. i need to know when its working for me or when I need to step it up. Anyway I weighed and I was 162.8 yay!!! So that motivated me even more. I got on sneakers and done Zumba for 20 minutes then  me and my kids went on a walk. I have been walking and dont really count walking as an exercise in itself but it helps right. Its better than sitting on the couch eating Cheetos just hoping to lose the weight.

low carbin

Yup I started yesterday. I have done it before but only lasted a week. its hard when you have no support. Jon tries but come on lets face it when you can eat an entire pack of reeses mmmm reeses followed by a 2 liter of Dr.Pepper and wash it down with half a pizza and not gain an ounce you really cant be much support! So after a week of living alone in my diet world I caved and welcomed bread, pasta and sweets back into my life with open arms and they brought the 7 lbs I lost that week back with them =/ luckily I didnt gain anymore of their friends but they stayed around for a while. Until now. Im tired of being fat and feeling sorry for myself for being fat and to make myself feel better I bake and then after I bake I eat it too [gotta test it out for the kids right?] but Im tired of it so Saturday I told myself if im not gonna get my butt up to exercise Im gonna start a "diet" [though Im trying to make it a lifestyle more than a diet] so I was gonna start on Sunday but Sunday about noon Jon decided he wanted to go somewhere and that somewhere involved stopping and getting a pizza. Im not frugal but I would rather waste money on something more fun than food so I went ahead and just ate pizza with them and thought I would start my diet on Monday. Monday rolled around and there I was low carbin and have been doing great since [aside form slipping up last night and snatching a few small potato wedges off the serving plate] Today I have been doing even better but Im reading some books [I LOVE reading] its the Stephanie Plus Series but Janet Evanovich and they are great books but they talk of food ALOT and since Im not "allowed" the things they talk about it made it worse reading about them. Im on the last one and boy in 10 minutes tops she talks about a chocolate chip cookie, ice cream, cereal, a chicken sandwich and doughnuts so since its day two its a bit harder on me but I managed [luckily theres no doughbuts in the house or I dont know how lucky I would have been.] and tankfully I have friends [over the internet friends but friends just the same] who are supporting me and even a few are doing it with me =) [like one friend named Angela has been doing it for 2 months and lost 24[ish] pounds so shes a real inspiration to me. So heres to hoping.
