Weight Loss

Um, ya so I'm heading down this road again!! Ugh, I could just kick myself!!! I'm such a fast lazy ass who loved to shove food down her gullet!!! Last year I lost 50 lbs and I've managed to gain all but 10 lb of it back!! I'm so disgusted with myself so I've finally decided to try again to do something about it!!! So today was my first day back to counting calories and I did pretty well, I'm under by about 300 and I don't think I was hungry at all today and I was super good and drank like 2 HUGE glasses of water (of course that gave me heartburn all day long - bitch)!!! So as of this morning I'm re-starting this journey at 243.4 lbs and I'm hoping to be well on my way to UNDER 200 lbs by my 40th birthday in February!!! Of course my original goal was to be 150 by my 40th, but that's just not gonna happen!!! In fact I'm not even sure I'll ever get that low so for right now I have one goal and that goal is to get below 200 and STAY THERE!!!! Here's hoping I make it!!! I didn't take photos but maybe I will tomorrow and then just plug them in here - we will see!!!

50lbs gone!!!

FOREVER!!!!

Today was my regular weigh in and what did I find...that I has lost more weight since yesterday!!! I lost a total of 1.4lbs since my last weigh in for a grand total of 50.2lbs!!! SWEET!!!! Sometimes it so hard for me to believe that I use to weigh 50 more lbs!!!! It's just crazy.....it's all kind of like a dream!!!

Soooooooooooo for more catch up!!! *lol* Let's see...after the pumpkin patch last Saturday we came home and I think we had dinner here.....I can't really remember but I don't think we went out. So after dinner and chores were done we sat down to carve pumpkins....well daddy and the kids sat down....mommy grabbed her camera and started shooting!! The 2 girls did theirs completely on their own and I think Little man did like 95% of his by himself. Daddy cut the top off of the 2 little boys and made them clean the guts out them selves!!! *lol* It was kind of hilarious to watch!!! They did pretty good, daddy just had to get the really stuck stuff out!!! Then daddy helped G-man do his face and I helped Little C!!! It was really a quick carving session......I think we were done in like 40 minutes!!! Then we took them out and lined them up on the deck and lite them!!! They all looked awesome!!!

*lol* I love that he almost colored the whole thing solid!!! *lol*

G-man's creepy spider looking pumpkin!!! *lol* He loved it!!!

Hmmm....today was such a beautiful day!!! I think the last nice day we are suppose to have in a long time!!! It was like 75 degrees and I had shorts on all day!!! I got to walk outside at the track and then once Little C and I picked up G-man from school we went and met hubby at McDonald's for lunch!! Then we talked him into coming home with us instead of going back to work!!! *lol* But it wasn't as nice a day as we thought it was going to be!!! :( We ran to Wal Mart after lunch because I need a few things and right off the bat Little C got his ring finger slammed in the bathroom door and he wailed the whole time we were there!! Which I don't blame him it looked bad and I could imagine that it ached!!! He fell asleep on the way home and I let him sleep for a while in the van and then it was getting hot so I went to get him!! I got him out of the van and he still stayed asleep, I laid him down on the couch and he sleep for a long time after!! Then G was kind of crabby all afternoon too!!

Then we headed into the girls room....ugh that trash pit!!! It's so freaking disgusting!!! I throw out an entire 39 gal garbage bag full of clothes from R's dresser!!!! Holy shit!!! Then we took their beds apart, cleaned out their closet, wiped down the walls and sweeped!!!

Then I whipped up a quick dinner of spaghetti and we ate. Then we finished the girl's room and just tried to keep all the littles calm till bedtime!!! Now we just put them down...I ate my ice cream bar and then wrote this post!!! *lol* Now I'm gonna go edit my photos for the zoo (from last Sunday) and then I think I'm gonna go to bed!!! ~Laters!!!

Goal #2

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!!!
