Finally, a better week! I lost 2 lbs this week...of the 5 that I gained while Kelly was home. So, I still have 3 to go to get down to where I was the day he came home but I'm getting there...slowly. Worked out only two days this week. I feel like I'm still trying to get back in the "routine" of life. Two of my daughters have asked me to join them on an eight week wieght loss challenge. This was their second week, my first. Hopefully it will inspire us all to do better! My goal this week is to work out five days and continue to eat better.

How is this month almost half over already, wait, wait, I haven't gotten it together yet! This week, more excuses. School started, Kelly left, I started school, I was tired EVERY morning, there's still too much Christmas junk left to eat, and list list could go on. So, time to stop whining, making excuses, etc and get with it!! I gained another few ounces this week to bring my grand total gain to 4.5 lbs (as the wii fit so conveniently told me this morning). This week, back to working out, quit eating crap and get with it!!

My first post of the new year and it's two days late! Oh well, it's been pretty crazy around here with four extra adults, two extra dogs and a baby who is into EVERYTHING!! Anyway, now everyone is gone and it's just back to me, the three girls and one doggy. This past couple of weeks has been really tough diet and exercise wise. I didn't work out at all this week and gained 1.5 more lbs! That's about a 4.5 gain for the past two weeks that eveyone has been here. But, now it's a new year and time to get with it again! My goal is to lose 20 lbs before Kelly comes home the beginning of May. My dream goal is to lose 40 but my realistic goal is 20. We will see what happens...!

Well, here I am, writing just what I hoped wouldn't happen. This week I worked out 2 days and gained almost 3 lbs! I've just pretty much been like "whatever" since everyone got here. We've been busy, busy, busy and I've just been eating whatever is there and quick. Again, this week I am going to try to do better but I don't have any false expectations. Kelly and I are going to the beach for a couple of days, eating out and relaxing so who knows?!

Today is the day!!! My man comes home for 15 days and I can't wait!
Today I weigh the same that I weighed last week. I went up a little and lost it again but I'm happy to still be maintaining the 20 lbs! Only worked out 2 days this week, it's been kind of crazy with kids and schedules and such. Now my goal is to at least maintain through New Years if not lose a little. I'm not going to go crazy just eating whatever and not exercising but I also don't want to beat myself up over every bite or if I choose not to work out. Right now I just want to enjoy having my husband home and enjoy time with our family! Merry Christmas to me!!

Hurray, Hurray, Hurray!!! I finally lost the two pounds I needed to reach the 20 lb mark!! It's only taken me two months to do it, but whatever, it finally happened! Apparently the trick is to not work out (even once) and eat fast food two nights in a row, who knew? Yeah, I'm not sure how that worked out but I'm certainly not going to use it as my weight loss philosophy. This week I'm going to go back to working out and eating right...well, I'm going to try at least. Next week by this time Kelly should be home, I'm just a little excited about that!

Crazy, crazy, crazy!!! This week I have lost three lbs. I'm back just below where I was when I came home from vacation. I'm thrilled, of course, but what the hay? I have only worked out one day this week and haven't eaten super great. I don't know what the answer is, don't work out, eat whatever and lose weight or work out, eat good and don't lose weight. I just don't know! Anyway, I am still going the work out, eat right route and we'll see what happens. I'm just happy for the three lbs!
