Weigh Me Wednesday- Will I Make My Goal by My Birthday?

So, my birthday is tomorrow, but remember how I post my weight loss status from the previous week?  So, you will have to stay tuned to my post next week about whether I met my goal by my 30th birthday or not.  As far as my last weigh in, I have only lost .4.  I was wrong on my totals last week, so I have 1.8 to go for my ultimate goal.  Being sick this week and having 3 sick kids has made it rough … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday: Hmmmpf

I don't see that scale moving!  The baby wanting to wean has created much more work for me to try to lose the weight.  Hmpf!  The Dr's. office weighed me 1 pound less (yay), but I need to go off the same scale each time.  Oh, how easy it would be to just ignore that thought!  My birthday is in 1 month from this Monday we just had.  Did I mention it is my 30th birthday?  I MUST lose these 4.2 … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday: Goal Reached, but I Can’t Stop There!

Can I get a yeehaw?!  I have hit my goal, BUT I can't stop there.  I want to lose 5 more lbs. on top of that.  Since I hit and beat my goal, I don't have that far to go though.  Yippee!  I can do 4.2 lbs. for sure.  On another note, the baby is weaning for me, which means I know that this can be the time when weight starts to come back on.  So, I will have to work even harder.  I can do it.  My … [Read more...]

Weigh Me Wednesday: Thanksgiving Came and Went- Thankfully it’s Over

Well, I didn't lose a single pound this week, but luckily I didn't gain either.  I shamefully admit that I stuffed myself all week long.  oops!  I couldn't resist.  I also realized I didn't work as hard as I normally do when I am at home (was at my parent's all week).  At home I run all day long cleaning, getting up and down for the kids, playing with them, etc...  I had two extra sets of hands … [Read more...]
