Today was another uneventful day. I made breakfast, I cleaned house and had no power for about an hour. I stoked the fire while my husband ran an errand...I then made lunch, cleaned up lunch, and put the kids down for a nap....I feel like pioneer women...EXCEPT...I then went and took a 1 hour nap myself which I dont think the pioneer women often did. We went to El Chico for dinner. After I found out we were out of school again tomorrow I decided I had to get out of here even if only for an hour. We left at 4 pm so that we would not get stuck out past dark. I felt like a human again when we got home at 5:30....

Let's just call today TGIF...I started with a weigh in...

Last Week's Weight 181.5
This Week 180.9
Loss this week 0.6
Total loss in two weeks 4.1 lbs.

I was very pleased with the little I lost. I did very well this week and even exercised 3 times for 20 minutes. Not bad considering I never exercise. I was also pleased to just have a loss this week because I know you cant expect miracles on week two, especially with a 3.5 loss last week.

However, I guess since it was TGIF I decided to just have a food party. I ate whatever I wanted today and I had my friday coke to celebrate. Not good. Tomorrow is a new day. If you are reading this please encourage me to stay on track.

I was reminded today by a dear friend to be passionate about all the beautiful things of the Lord and what He has created. I am HIS creation and I should think of myself as beautiful, just as I admire things in the world he created. Have a great weekend! I know I will....

Today was a good day...church, tv, naptime....by the way our kids were at grandmas...thats why we got a nap...I miss them like crazy though and cant wait to see them tomorrow. That is a hard part of parenting...sharing your children with grandparents, even though it is healthy for our marraige.

Today at lunch I went to Braums on the way home from church. I ordered an unsweet tea. I like mine with just sweet n low, not sugar (and yes I know sweet n low is not good for you).

Today was a good day. I walked 30 minutes at school with a friend during our conference time. It was nice to get to spend time with her and just talk. As for food, I did really well and used alot of self control. In turn I realized that I am a stress eater. The minute my kids started taking the benchmark test I wanted to put something sweet in my mouth. I put gum in instead and drank a bunch of water. Overall, I am proud of myself...

January 2011

I have decided (after reading something on google...where all the good information comes from), that I am going to start a weight-loss blog. I am a person that needs to be accountable. I figured what better way to be held accountable than to put it all out there for everyone to see...I am calling it "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" . Thank you for your support in this journey.

How it all started:
3 1/2 years ago I delivered precious twins that were 7 pounds each! To say the least, I was very very large. I gained 85 lbs. with this pregnancy. Within 6 months of having them I had lost 65 lbs. ! Most of you are thinking, "Thats awesome!". However, what about the other 20 lbs. Well let me just tell you that if all I had to live with was the extra 20 pounds this would not be a problem. Not the case at all. At that point I was 157 lbs. I now weigh 185 lbs. That my friends is rediculous and has nothing to do with childbirth! That is called laziness. So, here we are today...

Each week I am going to post on this blog my food intake for the day. This is mainly for me to be held accountable. I will also be weighing in weekly on friday mornings and posting the news on this blog....no matter what it says. As much as I hate to, I will also be posting pictures from time to time. Thank you for supporting me in this new adventure, and as always words of encourage are appreciated.
