Twinkles

I hit my minigoal of 170 lbs or prebaby and pregnancy weight. I am crying for happiness. I had doubts but I know now that my ultimate goal can be acheived. I wanted to reach it before the new year and I did. I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Has 42lbs been worth the pain, early mornings, the veggies, and sore muscles? You bet your bonnet it has. I had trouble at 180 and stayed there for a month. I thought I was meant to be that weight but I had only let myself stay there. I am not controlled by my weight, I will control it.

I did get strep last week and I have been in recovery since thursday and couldn’t go to the gym(I am going to start back today!). I couldn’t eat anything thursday except two bowls of ice-cream only because my throat hurt so much I couldn’t swallow anything else. Since then, it has kinda reset my stomach. I am not hungry all the time, I can turn away from the plate when full, I am controlling my food.

Next stop, bikini town. I told my boyfriend that I want to be in bikini shape for this summer. Boy does he want to help now. That gives me plenty of time to get the rest of the weight off. With proper exercise and eating, I will do it. I will be healthy.

I like to thank all of my buddies for their support. I love this website and all it’s people. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Yeah, turns out scarlett fever isn’t an illness itself. It is a skin condition caused by a severe strep infection. Interesting. So after caring for my strep infested daughter, I think I may have it because my throut is hurting. I did work out yesterday and the day before, but I dont want to expose anyone at the gym if I do have an  illness.

This is not my month for anything. I haven’t lost weight, I cant workout like I want, everybody wants money, gosh can I please have one moment to myself. 

GOOD NEWS THOUGH, I have managed to eat well. I beat boredom eating and stress eating these last 2 days being at home with my daughter. Boy my apartment is spotless. Now I just need to start on my winter interim. well Thanks to all those who sent me well wishes since I have been gone.

Have a good day

Well I lost two of the three pounds I gained last week. I think it was all the alcohol. NO more of that stuff. Crazy time of the year.

My boyfriend had an accident at work yesterday. He got bleach in his left eye. Not much happened but he did have a chemical burn so he is worried about work now. He is melodramatic sometimes. I kept making pirate jokes with him though.

Another traveling day at work. I think all this experience will help in the long run.

Well everyone have a good day.

Okay not what I really wanted. Had a business trip last week which equals fine dining and lost will. Bad excuses but I am chalk full of them. This is a bad week as well, I have 5 finals. I have stress coming out the wazoo. But the good news is that I can get more evening workouts in like today after my final. I still have to take an online final after that though. Sleep is for the weak.

Not much else to report. Little disapointment and a little less motivated but need to be optimistic.

and I’ll be a size six before you. But me and my true love will never meet again unless I get off my butt and go to the gym. Okay cheesy but if you are smiling I guess you got the picture.

Well I returned to the gym this morning for workouts. Gosh its hard to get up in the mornings. I envy morning people.

Had relationship drama this weekend. I love Marc to death but sometimes he is really immature. He complains that since he lives with me, he can’t buy all the stuff he wants. Boo freakin hoo. It’s called life, get over it or get a better job. This is where our differences clash, I am independent and have been since I turned 18. He has been pampered and has to realistic idea how life works sometimes. I am usually patient with it but I get tired of guilt trips. So it was resolved with some promises( yeah, like those ever happen) and some sleep. He makes plenty of money he just needs to learn to budget.

So ate a little extra this weekend to compensate the mood. Not good, I know but the scale reads only a little different so we will see what it does tomorrow. It is so easy to keep to healthy eating during the week but weekends, its like I have no resolve. 3-4lbs by monday, oh I don’t know if I will hit my minigoal by my birthday but we are going down fighting for it.

I hope everyone has a great monday and lovely week.~Mary
