Boo hoo

Ok so my superbowl team lost but it was a great game the  Giants played  amazing  and deserved to win!

I do feel like i won not only because we won cash in the squares we picked but because i ate ok for all the yucky choices i had to contend with.  2 pizza slices and a small amount of pasta.  No smokes and little cocktails seeing i wasn’t smoking it was easy!  Hip hip for me!!!

Off for a new week and hope the scale changes tomorrow for my weigh in, 3 weeks the same is depressing!

Good luck to us all!!

Happy Sunday

Today is always a tough day of the week for me and  most of us!  I say be open and willing to eat what you like don’t deprive yourself or that will lead to over eating.  I say do it in moderation.  Have 1 or 2 slices of pizza not 6 or 7.  I find it works for me.

My Dad who has always told me i was fat even when i was 107 pounds actually aked me if i lost weight yestuday.  That is huge and gave me more motivation.  Look for it anywhere you can find it i say!  My jeans feel better even thought the scale is holding, whatever i feel better!

Going to bar for the superbowl today will be drinking and wanting that smoke.  Good thing i would have to go outside to do it!  I will just say NO!~!  Yes to the wings and pizza though but not too meny!

Keep it up!!  We can do it!!

I love Saturday!

Ok so this morning i woke up at about 10:00am which is so amazing in itself so i come down to make my coffee to find a note from my 10 year old son that reads “good morning Mom I am outside sledding, I love you”  Now how cute is that??  I love this age.  Normally i do not sleep that late and for some reason he was up early and wanted to let me sleep in!   My hubby was home yesturday so my eating was not great but not bad considering how he is able to eat with little to show for it!  How unfair is that?!?  Today will be a btter day!  Must be, to prepare for the beer for Superbowl Sunday!  Go New England!!  Have a great week to you all!!!

Special Thanks!

First of all i NEED to say thanks to all of you who sent me a nice message reguarding that mean comment that was made to me!  You all really helped me to truely feel motivated.  Unfortunatly i do not know how to reply this is all new too me, my friend Jenn (HI) set me up and i am still learning but thanks!! Don’t get me wrong i am a strong woman who rarely cares what others think of me except as a parent, but when your not too thrilled with what you did to yourself and still wonder how you did it, a comment like that can cut deeper than you would have thought!  It shocked me into silence which is rare for me.  Later i thought what i could have said like at least i can fix fat you can’t fix ulgy.  Hehe! but i actually was proud of not going to that dark place!  This is supposed to be a life change for a better life.  That seems so weird my life was sooo great but i guess this is to make it longer and me feel better in it!  I held at the same weight for 2 weeks and mostly because i didn’t work out but i was sick now with this new motivation i have been!

The smoking thing is going great, my Hubby is having a hard time but this time i will not let it cause problems!  Ususaly we fight so i go back.  Quiting smoking and losing weight HAS to be about youself and doing it when your ready!  I have faith he will in his time.

I guess for now i will focus on new things to cook which i love to do so that has been fun!  I also picked knitting back up to keep my hands busy and scrapbooking.  That is when i am actually home which most nights at least i do have time for it!  This will get eaisier!  Right?!

Hurtful Motivation

Ok so i was at the local Target waiting on a parking place when they finially pulled out another car was trying to take my place so i mouthed that it was my space and proceeded to pull in!  While on my way into the store that same lady ran up to me and called me a “fat ass”  Wow tears instantly and i am not a crier!  The good news is it was super motivating!  Years ago i had a friend who was getting married, i was much smaller then but still the largest of the 3 bridesmaids.  I mentioned to the bride that I was going to lose weight and her responce was “i can’t even see you skinny”  I ended up super small and the hottest bridesmaid!  I guess i take mean things to motivate me!  Daily that will be hard seeing i have a wonderful, supportive hubby who could never be mean!  I guess I am saying take what you can from all situations and grow or shall i say shrink from them!  Have a good day!

7 pound lost

I have about 40 pounds to loose and can’t believe I let it get to this point!  Anyway i am making alot of life changes and happier because of it!  I quit smoking, and actually it has not made me gain weight!  I have lost 7 pounds but have gone 2 weeks staying the same!  I blame PMS!  I have a eliptical in route look forward to that!  My advice for the day is keep motivating people around you!!!
