Reached!!! This morning I weighed in at 204lbs which puts me right at my second goal which is 20% of my body weight GONE!!! FOREVER!!! I knew I was getting close so I have been weighing myself each morning!! I'm so excited!!! I know I had a few hiccups in the last weeks but I'm back on track and I am going to lose this fat forever!!! This also means I am close to my first HUGE goal!! The one I posted about right
::HERE:: over 5 months ago...I'm so excited that I have stuck with this I'm so excited I have taken charge of my body, my eating and exercising habits!! So 5 months ago I made a goal to reach 199lbs before my 39th birthday...at that time I had 9 months to accomplish that goal and here I am just 5 short months later and I'm only 5lbs away from that goal!!! Bearing no major catastrophes I think I'm gonna hit that goal well before my 39th birthday!!! So my next mini goal is to work on losing another 10% of my body weight...so 10% of 204lb which would be 20.4 lbs!!! So my next goal weight is 183.6lbs!!! OMG...that number will put me at 70lbs lost!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, that makes me so very happy!!!! :-) Gotta just keep chugging along...I can do it...I can do it......I CAN DO IT!!!!!
Ok...more catching up to do from the last week!! So I left off with G's field trip...they next thing that happened was the family trip to the pumpkin patch!!! The exact same pumpkin patch!!! *lol* We got up and got some cleaning done on Saturday (the 20th), stuff like the kitchen, bathrooms and living rooms. Then we all got dressed and had some lunch!! Then we headed to the pumpkin patch!! It was a niceish day...not as warm but not too cold!! First up were the bounce house thingies!! The 4 younger kids went in the big one and then only the 3 boys went in small one!!! They loved it!!! They had so much fun and were just laughing and enjoying themselves!!!
 |
| R and G-man came through the tunnels first!! |
 |
| Then Little man and Little c came next!!! |
 |
| Little C going down the big slide at the end!! |
 |
| Little C bouncing in the small house!! Look at the smile on his face!!! Pure joy!!! |
 |
| Little C liked the little slide too!!! *lol* |
|
|
|
Then we let the kids play for a bit on the hay bales but there were so many kids and they were being terrible, pushing, line cutting and these two kids kept climbing back up the slide and sliding down and the dad just stood there ignoring them!!! He was such a major douche!!! So we took the kids and went to do something else!!
 |
| All my little pumpkins posing for a family shot!!! Love them!!! |
So we headed to the corn maze. We only spent about 10 minutes in it!! The little ones were just running around and the trivia questions were kind of dumb so when we came close to the exit we steered everyone to it!!! Sneaky mommy and daddy!!! *lol*
 |
| Little C got tired in the corn maze and it was daddy and his shoulders to the rescue!!! |
 |
| I think C is obsessed with tractors!!! *lol* |
Next we saw the horses and instead of paying $$ to go into the barn and see like 3 animals we encouraged the kids to pick the horse rides instead!!! They were all too willing to go on the horses!! Everyone of them loved it, well except S...she was "too big"...or so she said!!! The 3 middle kids rode horses though and Little C rode in this adorable little wagon pulled by a shettlin pony!!!
 |
| Little Man with a smile a mile wide!!! He rode the big horse!! |
 |
| R also loving the ride on the big horse!!! |
 |
| How cute is this!?!?! Makes this momma's heart melt!!! He loved it and wasn't scared at all!!! |
 |
| The G-man on the smaller pony, but he didn't care his smile was 5 miles wide!!!! |
After the rides we headed to wait in line to get on the hay wagon to go get our pumpkins!!! It was a short wait and then we were off!!!
 |
| Little Man! |
 |
| R! |
 |
| Little C! |
 |
| The G- man! |
 |
| Daddy, Little Man and G-man coming in from the field with their perfect pumpkins!!! |
 |
| Everyone found awesome pumpkins and are now wait for the wagon to take them back!! |
 |
| S (and Little C) on the wagon back from the pumpkin field!! |
 |
| Handsome daddy (even with his eyes closed *lol*)!!! *love him* |
|
|
|
|
Then once off the hay ride we headed for the car!! I think everyone had a good time, all the kids were so good and it was a great success!! Another trip to the pumpkin patch into the memory books!!! Next installment.....pumpkin carving!!!! Stay tuned folks...it's gonna be a fun ride!!! *lol* ~Laters!!!
