Monday weigh in

Ok, so after my first week back I do have to say I was shocked to step on the scales this morning and see that I have lost 1.4lbs! I am still learning on how to get back in the habit of eating healthy and working out. This last week I did not work out once! As far as eating healthy I did ok, but not great! It was my daughters 5th birthday and for a week we had all sorts of different sweets in the house. From home made rice crispy treat cake to cookies and cup cakes! I wish I could say I was strong and stayed away from all of those things, but I was not. I sampled ate every one of those things. So now you can see my shock as I did step on the scale and see a loss! I am really pumped for this week as I know I can lose more since I will not be stuffin my face full of all that junk!

I want to say Thank you to all my followers for your support as I come back to this. And to all my followers that are going through the same thing as me, I know we can do this together!

I am currently trying to think of a new name for my blog as I clearly will not hit my 40 week/280 mark I wanted. However I still like the goal and concept :-). I will keep you all posted with any ideas I can think of.

I built my blog and my goals around not just dieting but transforming to a new and healthier person. I want to feel good about myself inside and out. For a period of time there I was getting this feeling. Sure I was still over weight but the feeling of losing weight, the feeling of eating healthier brought so much energy in me and my self confidence was so much better.I do not want to lose that again! So as I attempt to blog daily if I miss a day please know I am still trying to get in the habits again :-)

My husband are trying to plan a get-a-way for the end of february begining of March. I think after all we have been through we need some time to refocus on eachother and our relationship. We are hoping to fly/drive to New orleans and celebrate a lil Mardi gras and then hop on a cruis either out of New orleans or Alabama. we will be on a cruise for a few days and then back in New Orleans for more fun, and then home. We are in the begininng stages of planning it but I am super excited about it! It will be an early B-Day present for me! However I want to be feeling good for the cruise so I am all in on eating healthier so I can fell and look good by then! 

Ok, I am off for now as I need to do some cleaning around my house...*bleh. 

Have a wonderful day!

Mmm rice crispie cake

Ok..I did horrible tonight! The title should say it all...but tomorrow I am going to go back to my old habits of using sparkpeople.com and tracking everything I eat! Need to get these calories under control! 

Ok, so here are a few pics of me. nothing to exciting just an updated look of myself. Now I do have to say, ignore the pale face and horrible make up...it is new and not workin for me..LOL...Oh and Matt helped pick the color...Last time I let him do that. LOL

Ok, I am off for tonight. You all have a wonderful night! I will be back tomorrow.

Back in the babit

Ok, so I forgot to post last night...thanks Swans for reminding me! I need to get back into the habit of so many things! One would be the habit of writing a blog again. the other is my good eating habits.

Yesterday was an ok day, however I forgot 1/2 way through the day to track my calories and I started to munch out of habit. I did still try to manage what I ate and portion control, so hopefully today will be a little better. Today however is my daughters 5th Birthday and the temptation of cakes and cookies are hard for me this early in the stage. wish me luck for some will power.

I will try to blog tonight with an update of today and how the party went.

New Year, New Start

Hello everyone! Yes I know I have been gone for a little while. My life has been very very hectic. For a lil over a month I was separated from My husband and dealin with Financial stress. I am happy to say some things have settled down over the last month and my wonderful husband and I are back together and we are trying to get our finances under control. With the new year I am back to blogging and eating healthier. I gained 14lbs through November and December, I am happy though because it could have been a lot worse. I was not watching anything that I ate or cared what I ate. I went back to all my old habits and totally undid all the work I had worked months on. Starting today I am back to counting calories and working out, but more or less being more mindful of the food I put in my body. This blog is going to be a bit of a short blog as I am hoping to re blog tonight about my first day back! Hope this finds all my readers well, and you all have a wonderful glorious day!
