Hooray for Lauren!!!

I am just so happy. There is a little from my March 2004 birthclub that was born with heart problems. She had surgery a month ago, and it wasn't looking good for a few weeks there. In the last week she has recovered so well that she is going home finally! It makes me so happy. I just cannot imagine what she and her family have gone thru.

I finally hit a weightloss milestone!

Yesterday was such a breeze babysitting. JOnathan went to San Diego w/ his grandparent's. So I just had my 2 kids, Kaitilyn and Allie. When one kids is gone, doesn't matter which one, it is always a little easier. MY son had no one to whine with or yell with or run all over the hhouse with or fight. It was alot more quiet! They are all here today and so far so good.

I finally talked Mike into exercising with me. After it cooled down last night (It cooled down to 90..so sad!), we went to our favorite park. WE walked a very brisk mile around the Park. Mike had the harde5r workout, he had to push the kids in the double stroller. My legs burned, and we definently had a good workout. Then we played at the park with the kids. THat's my milestone!


I did something I haven't done since before we had kids, but always wanted to do. I swung on the swing! I took Emm on with me. She still isn't too sure about this crazy swinging thing. She whined a little and the clung to me. Then I gave her to Mike and I swung some more. It was actually a good workout. Obviously Dawson had never seen me swing before. WEll, he got off the slide and came over to watch me. He looked so excited to see Mommy play on the playground too. IT almost brought a tear to my eye. THis is one of the reasons that I wanted and still want to continue losing weight, so I can play with my kids on the playground and anywhere else.

Well that's it for now. Please go back to your regularly scheduled lives..lol.

Stuck at 35 lbs lost..grrr!!!

I am up .4 lbs, grrr!! I was very faithful with my points and charting them. I was talking to my WW leader last night. I was saying how even though I am still losing I feel somewhat stuck. Since April 1st I have only lost 8 lbs. Usually I lose 8-10 lbs a month. I have been within a few pounds of being under 200 lbs for weeks now. I just wanna get under. She suggested that I might wanna get more faithful with exercise and also since I am within 3 lbs of lowering my daily points from 26-24, that I might as well do it now. I started today and I hope that it makes a difference. I wanna be under 200 next week.

I want to be close to 170 by labor day. We go up camping up north with Mike's family every labor day. I was thin only the first time I went up in 2000. So I haven't been in condition to Hike or do anything fun since I have had kids. So if I can be close to 170 by then I know I could handle hiking again.

I also wanna be atleast 150 (my WW goal weight) by December 21st, my birthday. Mike wants to take me to the Hyatt Compass room for dinner. But only if I fit into my bridesmaid dress from my Best Friends wedding by my Bday. I am sure I could fit into it at 150 or even 160 lbs. I think I was 145 at the time of the wedding and it was a little loose.

I also need to be more dedicated to exercising. I am always so tired from the kids that I can't get myslef in the mood. Isn't it funny you have to exercise to get extra energy, but where do you get the energy you need to start? I am trying to talk Mike into exercising with me. He is fine how he is to me, but he tells me he wants to lose the extra 5 lbs in his belly (I think it's cute!). So I am trying to get him to do it with me. He just s doing workout tapes. So I am trying to talk him into buying a home gym and a treadmill. Walmart has a knock-off bowflex for $200 something dollars and we could probably find a used treadmill for $100. Since we cancelled my gym membership..no time to get there now...We could put the gym dues in saving and make up for buying the stuff in about a year. Mike is really hard to talk into taking money out of savings though. BUt I am getting closer to him agreeing to it.

After I hit my WW goal wait I wanna lose an additional 5-10 lbs. Then Hopefully by this time next year I will be preggo or atleast trying. I can't wait to have another baby. Emmalee is still so my baby, but she is getting big fast. So while I am not totally ready for another one (I have to lose this weight for health reasons before we have another baby) I am really starting to miss the sweetness of a new baby. It is such a special time.

Well that's all for now. I feel more inspired after writing new goals down.

Good-Night!
