monday weigh in: better late than never

first week 194.5

last week 192

today 192

pounds lost last week 0

total pounds lost 2.5

Another week and no loss. Am I beating myself up? No way! Do you know why? Because Wednesday (after weighing in at 192 last Monday) I weighed in at a whopping 195 or 196 (I can't remember which). So, my weighing in at 192 today actually represents me getting my over sized tail in gear, on Thursday, by writing up a diet plan, and even more miraculous, exercising every day!!!
I am so excited. I am going to do this, people. Are you with me?

    I need a plan to loose some weight. Are you following a specific plan? You're inspiring me to get off my duff!

    Deffffffffffinitely with you!!!!

    You're such a positive influence, how could anyone pass you up!!! :-)

    PS: Of course all of us trying to lose weight want to see a weight loss each and every week, but I'll take ZERO weightloss/gain over an ACTUAL GAIN any week of the year!!!

    You guys are all so great!!! I love and appreciate the support.

    Shauna: the only thing that I am doing is: I have a base calorie plan of about 1200 calories but I can snack up to at least 1400. That way I have some leeway without feeling like I want to rebel and eat everything in sight.
    Also I am buying ready made food for breakfast and lunch(think instant oatmeal and lean pockets and)and a lean dinner every 8 days. After 8 days I reevaluate and if there is anything that I didn't like or had a hard time with...i change it. I think that taking a look and tweaking things about once a week will really be key. I will know that if I can't stand something about my diet or exercise plan...I am not stuck to it for the duration of the time that it takes to lose all my weight. Just 8 days at a time.
    I hope that makes sense. It did to me when I came up with it (really, really, late one night).

...when did they grow so big?

As I did my nightly rounds----tucking everyone in, making sure everyone is warm, and outside doors are locked----I couldn't believe how big my children are now. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. How is that for making any sense? This is my baby---the little one. What happened??? She is already starting to lose the chubby-cheeked baby look And seriously...I gave birth to that? He is huge. I can't believe how quickly time can pass. Where have my babies gone? Don't misunderstand me...I am looking forward to every passing minute and getting to know the new stages, but I never saw too far past the diapers and (advance apologies to any guys that read this) breastfeeding. I am in unknown territory now. ...But I had absolutely nothing to do with this one.

In addition to keeping you highly entertained with my wit--and maybe a tiny smidgen of sarcasm--I also enjoy playing around with a little HTML, and other web design related stuff. I don't claim to be any great hand at it, or to have any non-pilfered technical knowledge---I pretty much just started experimenting with my blog template one day and when it was successful...I was hooked! If you have any questions or want me to create something, you just need to ask. I really love to do it and everything is a learning experience for me. sotsublehcar (at) gmail (dot) com And now on to the show and tell (what little there is so far). Not including the many incarnations of three day blog my first foray into designing aspects of someone else's site, was for Michelle over at brown eyed girl . I designed her header for her and had a lot of fun doing and since she also loves photography, I was able to use her own pictures for nearly the whole thing. I like the fact that it makes i...

eight years

Today is our eighth wedding anniversary. In honor of that, I would like to transcribe a card written by my husband that I received on our fifth anniversary. It is the collected and random thoughts of my husband written in every available space of the card. Amor: Today is a wonderful day. I have been counting the days, but without a doubt, it does not seem to be five years. Everything is as nice as before but with a lot more satisfaction and pride in our marriage. I am happy to have you by my side all the time. To know that you are a great mother keeps me calm and that every time I make a mistake, you talk to me and teach me something new. You are my angel (I love you). I don't know what it is, but to talk about our marriage is a great thing. It makes me feel a huge happiness (never ends). Anthony adds beauty to our relationship and it is because you are his mam รก. (side note: I was pregnant with Irene at this time) I love to come back (from work) and see you after fi...
