Getting back on track

I got of track when my puppy was sick. I always have taken care of the animals in my family, and losing two in less than a monthhit me pretty hard. Ive never wanted to do anything else with my life but take care of animals, and this really shook up my confidence, not to mention, losing Rose ment there were no dogs left here, I have never not had a dog.

So now Im trying to get my eating under contro again, that is step number one. I also need to make time to workout. I still dont know what the best workout for me is, hopefully I will find it soon.

Im BACK!!!!

Carbs….

 Im doing this low carb thing. If I do it right Im supposed to drop 16 lbs in a week. Im not really sure it will work, but I thought Id give a try. I dont think I will do it for more than the first week. I can only handle so much egg and chicken. I did find a nice low carb snack though: deli turkey slices and mild chedder cheese cubes.YUMMY, and the cheese keeps me full for a while! Ive lost a few lbs, so far, I geuss we will see on Monday, the one week mark(even though my weigh in is on Sat…. anywho….)

Latr all

A GOOSE!!!!!!!!

So, I was feeling gross from grazing all day, and I couldnt sleep since hubby is working an overnite, so I decided to go outside and run around with the doggie(at 1 am…..) and I found a GOOSE!!!! Its injured, and I dont really know what to do. It wont eat or stand up, I got back online to see what I could find and I thought I would freak out a little.

Nite All

Well…..Its starting to come off….

Im losing weight. In some places. My butt and legs are smaller, but my belly is staying put!! I really want to lose it. I want to feel sexy again. I try ab exercises, but they hurt my back. I have slight scoliosis, and compressed disks, and general back pain. I like to walk, Ive been trying to get serious about my walking, and I lose weight, but that all comes off of my butt and legs. GRRRRR

On a happier note, I FINALLY got new shoes! Yesterday, hubby and I went shopping. I get to try them out on a real walk tomarrow. They are pretty. White and blue, Dr Scholes(sp??). I have only been home one day this week!! Thats why I havent been on lately. I actually got to do things!!!!! Ill be home tomarrow. Hubby is working a double overnite tonite and Saturday. So tomarrow we are going to sit around so he can rest up.

Now, Im off to figure out how to fight the belly fat!

Another Monday

I had an interview last Monday, she said she would call me in a couple of days. I had to call her today, she said she will call me in a couple of days!!! I could really use that job. It would get me out of the house. It would get me money so I could do things. Like shop, I havent been able to shop in a while.

I had a great weekend, hubby was off and we went to see his parents, and did some fishing, and we went to a river nearby, and went swimming. This morning we walked 2 miles in less than an hour. I even did good with my eating!!! I really hope to lose a couple of pounds this week.

Well, I still havent found my other shoe, Im hoping that we have enough money left this week that I can get a new pair tomarrow when I go to the city to visit a friend.

Well, latr!

I cant belive it!

 Ive gone from 159 to 155 in less than a week!! Im not going to weigh in until Saturday(my offical weigh in day) just in case I go up or down a pound. To be honest, I havent gone running for a while, I just havent been able to get up in the morning, becouse Ive been waiting for hubby to get home from work(usually midnite!!) And (TMI warning) he has been very “friendly” lately. I actually got this book called The Ultimate Sex Diet. Any of you in a steady relationship should check it out!!!

I also make play time with Bella an ab workout! She gets a kick out of laying on her belly on my legs while I kinda crunch up to her and kiss and make silly noises. She laugh like a hyena and I love it!!! Nothing better than a baby laugh!!!!

All of this loss makes me want to do more! I had three waffles for brunch(I slept in) but I havent had anything else. Im going to steam a pork chop with apples and aspragus for dinner.

Well, I went in for an interview on Monday, and she said that she would call in a few days, but she hasnt still. GRRR!!! But I still have to figure out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Says the twenty year old with a husband and a baby!!

House work time….again…..

Till later

Icecream binge!

OOOPS!!!! I just had a major icecream binge. A serious one too. The icecream was chocolate, with chocolate chunks, and brownie pieces.

I even lost weight between yesterday morning and this morning, and then I go and do that!! I just have to make sure I stay busy today, so I dont eat and I can burn off some of those calories!! I have to keep up for the longest loser! At least I got to run this morning. And for lunch I had a beef patty with cheeese greenbeens and salad. Im trying to drink plenty of water, its hard to remember to with a baby to take care of!

So, HOUSEWORK!! I hate housework.

PBJ, bikes, and doggies

 I love a good PBJ after working out. Im not sure how it affects my diet, but since I have no intention of completly giving up carbs or sugar, I think its ok. It helps give me the energy I need to get through the rest of the day.

 I didnt get to jog today. I woke up too late and DH had to go to work early, so I couldnt have the car to go to the park. But, I did get to go for a bike ride. I wanted to go an hour or 5 miles. I was gone for 37:15, and made it 4.80 miles. I had to turn around a bit early. My dog Rose followed me along for the ride, and she was making be a bit nervous. She did very good though, she kept up with me the whole time. Even down hill!! And she really kept me going. When I was cheering her on, I was cheering myself on too. Keeping up the noise so I had something else to concentrate on. She was a really good motivator!!

Hmmm, I really like this font……….

Ta Ta for now!

3 Little pounds…..

 They dont really mean much right now, I mean that weigh in was this morning. But it made me feel good. And then what do I do, I get upset that my DH has to go to work early, and I have that extra scoop of creamy chocolaty icecream after lunch!!(My lunch of the leftover chicken dinner from yesterday, which by the way, I think I cooked to long, and it turned out dry) He works nights and last night worked overtime, and didnt get in until 5 am, and first thing this morning I had to take dd to the dr and by time I got home he was getting ready to go! I didnt even get to jog today!!! I really cant wait untill tomarrow morning. Though the way the weather is going, I will have to start getting up earlier to beat the heat!!!!

 Here is for still weighing 158 tomarrow morning,*no more icecream!!!!*

So far so…..Ok

 Yesterday, I started jogging, and I really like it. I get to spend some time out of the house, I get away from the family for a while and spend some time alone.  When Im done, I feel so good that I did something good for me. It really helps get the stress out. The best Im doing. Im working on the food thing, but I really like to eat, and cook, and eat. Right now im slow cooking a whole chicken. I cut all of the skin off first and as much fat as possible. Im using the neck and most of the fat with some carrots and celery to make a gravy for the less health wise in the house.

My biggest challenge is losing the weight while breastfeeding. I want to cut calories and lose the weight quickly, but I dont want to deprive my baby of the nutrition she needs. Losing the weight isnt really my biggest goal, I want to feel good about myself, have more energy and just be healthy, losing the weight will be a happy side effect.

So you have just read my first blog. I realize my writing is a bit disjointed, and doesnt really flow, but no one said I was a writer!
