May 21st. Two weeks in I have lost 11.9 pounds
I am so looking forward to this journey I am on to better health.
So much has happened since a year ago when I had my son Oh now I have to share a pic.
Here is Victor and Desiree. Victor just turned 1 and Desiree is turning 3 next month.
They keep me hoppin' that's for sure!
I have finally gotten into the mind set of losing weight again. I started a life style change because I have recently had some health problems.
This is the first time in my life that I am losing weight to feel better. Not because some event is coming up or because I want to look cute. LOL Although I do hope that comes with it! haha! I want to have energy and be at peace with myself. Let's just say me and food are like enemies at times. sigh.
I am on day 5 of my journey, I am doing great, even though the first day on, my son got a stomach bug and now I think Desiree is getting it. Oy!! But I have held strong, not giving into temptation! Thank you Lord!
I look forward to getting to know some people here and sharing our experiences together.
I am editing this to add that my goal is to lose more than the 82 pounds in my ticker. I would however like to lose that amount this year, if possible. I need to lose a total of about 150 pounds. :roll: |

Starting day 6! Feeling good, other than tired. My poor punkin girl has been puking for the past 14 hours an average of ever 30 min. We had one stretch in the night where she she slept for 2 hours, but other than, she has been puking every 15 min. since. It's heartbreaking to see her like this.
I remember as a kid having the same thing for about 24 hours...ughhh...
I will not weigh again till Thurs, that will be a full week on plan.
The first 3 mornings I had horrible headaches and nausea, but yesterday and today I feel great, no more headaches! woo hoo! :D
Today I need to get more fluids in me, didn't do so good yesterday with the kids being sick.
This is the first time that I have remained to true to myself and no caved in when life got stressful by binging and overeating. I have no cravings right now so that's nice.

Cute kids! Love the camo pants.
I took my daughters (7 and 5) to the opera on Friday night. On the way home, my younger one threw up in the car. You wouldn't believe how many nooks and crannies there are in a car seat for puke to hide in! I'm just glad she waited until after the performance was over...
Glad your headaches are gone. |

aww thanks! I know what your saying. Hubby said to take her to the doctor this afternoon if it's not getting better and I'm thinking so she can puke in the car?? not fun...I hope she starts to feel better...she is puking once an hour now so I think maybe it's slowing down.
That was smart of your kiddo to wait till you were in the car. lol |

Thank you bananajan! :)
I don't feel so great tonight. I had a very tough day with the kids. Desiree threw up for 25 hours. sigh. That is just very stressful to me. I ate peanut butter and about double what I should have. Didn't set well on my tumtum. ughh..
Tomorrow is new day, I am proud of myself for not totally blowing it though. |

Well double the PB won't kill you as long as it's not everyday. That's one of the things that started me down the slippery slope of less then ideal eating last time I was on SB. The too much PB soon turned into too much Peter Pan PB, my favorite which is loaded with sugar.
I assume it's PB that's just nuts and salt.
I think what you did with your goal was a very good idea. It makes it more managable. You have that nice just over halfway milestone to aim for.
Just think losing 82 lbs is like losing a 10 year old and 150 is equivalent to losing an adult. That's a real big change for the better.
As long as you keep plugging forward, you'll get there. |

Thank you bortass. I know I cannot eat peanut butter that way. ughh, I didn't even feel great last night, it was the combination of the PB and some beef stew I made.
Today I am going to load up on water and more lean portions and veggies. NO PB today!!! 8)
Today is day 7! |

We had to take Desiree to the ER yesterday. She had severe dehydration and was admitted. I stayed the night with her. I wrote this on another board and just copied it over here.
Quote: I am sitting here broken down, a emotion wreck, been crying most of the morning. The doctor came in this morning and said she has to stay another night and they will evaluate her tomorrow again.
It was such a horrible night, I can't even go into right now because I am so tired. I am just tired of seeing people come in and take her blood like it's nothing, like she does that kinda of thing every day and I have to be the one to hold her down and comfort her when it's all over. |

I am feeling down today....
Had to go to Oregon last week for my grandfathers funeral. Just got back last night. It's been such an emotional two weeks, with my daughter in the hospital and then grandpa....ughh...
I ate toast for breakfast...and I feel like crap!! I was so good while we were gone, totally stayed on plan, got home and I gained 3 pounds. I was/am pissed. My hubby says its because we sat around so much and did not get in our water...but dang....3 pounds!!?!?!?
Anyway, I am venting...onward and forward from here... |
