Beachy Mommy On My Way

[mrsgjr]

Hi Deb! Since you dropped some love in my journal, I'm here to show shower you with love in yours

First I'm so sorry your kids aren't well but happy that it sounds like they're on their way to recovery. Second, YOU GO GIRLIE with remaining focused with all you have going on and being down some lbs! That alone should motivate you; I know it has for me.

Buying clothes = sucks for me As Lisa said, it's not a bad problem to have but, like Jeff, I hate shopping for clothes for me! We 'know' we need to buy new ones when you lose so much weight but I hate it. Ex. Went out and bought a few new pair of slacks and jeans (2ea) size 8. Today (literally) when I put the size 8 on, I had to binder clip the front so they would fit in the waist...and I just bought these about a month ago Not a bad problem but also don't want to put myself or my pocket through that too often. BUT you do need to purchase something that fits the right way. Once you do, you'll not want to wear what does not fit any longer My DH also sent me panty & bra shopping (sorry Jeff ) and then threw all the old ones out as he said he Never wanted to see my tail sag like that again

Well it was nice to meet you and I'll see you around the beach. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!!

Deb, I checked out your progress photos! Very cool ! I posted in there. MrsG - you're too funny - LOL

[JeffInJax]

Hi there deb! Hope the morning and last night went really well for you! Hoping to hear from you soon and keep up the hard work!

[teachermomof2]

Hey MrsG, thanks for stopping in and the kind words of encouragement!! I appreciate it very much! I know the clothes thing sucks but I do need to go out a buy a few things - I got a new pair of jeans and now I don't want to wear the old ones because they are so big and baggy. I will get more soon I hate bra & panty shopping the most!! But I need to do it soon!

Lisa & Jeff - thanks for dropping in & I hope all is well in your world!

I ended up not feeling well yesterday but that seemed short lived. I feel much better today - just kind of achy. My DH had to get up with our baby last night and he was whining up a storm this morning. And then there was a time when both kids were up and he came and woke me up to help Oh the poor thing! He obviously doesn't realize how hard it is to get up multiple times a night with our kids and then have them both up periodically, and yet, I never wake him up to help............hmmmm imagine that!! LOL Oh well, at least he got up with our baby.

The night last night was ok - baby only up twice!! That is the best night in over a month so I'll take it! I sure hope this trend continues..........

Have a wonderful Thursday on the beach,
Deb

Hi Deb! I just stopped in and am amazed with how awesome you have done despite your chronic lack of sleep. I rarely get to sleep either and have continually been making excuses to eat the wrong things because I am sooo tired. I know that I will feel better if I make better food choices. Congratulations! You look really great and should be so proud! Hope you have a quiet and peaceful night!

Hmmmm the whole Mommy / Daddy thing is a strange phenomenon!!! How do we Mommys get up multiple times in the night, feed our children, change diapers, lose tons of sleep, yet still function (fairly) normally the next day??? Because we're amazing!!!! That's how!

[teachermomof2]

Maureen - thanks for the encouragement, I so appreciate it!! The kids did better last night and today! I hope we are finally on the mend.
Lisa - we are amazing, aren't we?? It's about time the world took notice!! I wouldn't say I function normally, but I function............lol
The kids and I had a great day staying at home and playing............we played playdough, princess and tea party.........we've had a very full day!!
Take care all!

[Beaching It]

Hi Deb, just dropping in to say I hope you had a great weekend and everyone in your household is feeling healthy!!

[JeffInJax]

Hi deb

Dropping by like normal! I got a crack out of what you said in my journal and everyone seemed to get some laughs out of my date which i think is a good thing. Only thing you can do is laugh.

Hope your days and nights are staying beachy, looking forward to hearing from you soon

Hi, Deb! Congratulations on your continued success. About the clothes - try a resale shop. I discovered Goodwill - don't mind spending $6 on pants if they're only going to fit for 4 months.

Hang in there with the kiddies. My 3 never slept. The oldest took two 30-min naps a day and "slept" from 8:30pm to 5:30am but was up at least twice a night. He's 23 now and still doesn't need much sleep. My youngest had night terrors until he was about 10. When things finally got better, hot flashes started waking me up Wide awake at 3am. Coffee is my friend.

Morning Deb and Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a good weekend, everyone is well and the kids slept well for you

Wishing you a marvelous Monday as we walk the beach today

[teachermomof2]

Hi Guys, Thanks for popping in to see how I'm doing, I so appreciate it! My kids are healthy now and doing better.....baby is still up a lot in the night but not sick. I am doing ok, not getting the veges in all the way but doing ok. I just took my computer in to get fixed today so I will be sporadically tuning in until later in the week. Have a great one!

[mrsgjr]

Hi Deb! Happy the kids are doing better and you are well too.

I, for one, know about the computer woes and am experiencing them myself right now Sending good thoughts your way on a full recovery

Wishing you a speedy return and a wonderful Wednesday as we continue our walk on the Beach

[teachermomof2]

Hello Wanda, thanks for dropping in...........computer woes aren't fun!! Computers are so wonderul when they work!! haha, which isn't a lot of the time!! I just looked at your weight and you are only 6 lbs from your goal!! Wow!! That is so awesome, I can't wait for you to reach it!! I am getting close to mine and I have to remember not to slack off just because I am close......I need to stay focused! (I'm looking forward to buying a size 6 pants........see below.)
Chris - thanks for the idea about the used clothing stores..........never thought of that!! I just bought a pair of jeans less after Christmas in a size 10 and they are pretty loose now (not a terrible problem to have ) but now I just bought an 8 the other day and they fit way, way better!! I am actually looking forward to buying a size 6 because I have never been able to do that as an adult!! Look out 6 here I come!!
Jeff & Lisa - thanks for dropping in on me! The kids are healthier now. Me and my toddler have the sniffles today but nothing major!

I'm back and my computer is fixed!! Woohoo!! I hate being without it! My DH says I'm addicted to this forum..........there are worse things to be addicted to . Anwyay, things are going ok. I have been eating ok, still not exercising though! I woke up with the sniffles this morning and so has my toddler. Our noses have been running all day. I sure hope this one goes away fast! I was going to have a "mommy" day today and take the kids to daycare, but I can't do that when they're not feeling well. We have been doing lots of playing here at home. I made my daughter a fridge and stove from diaper boxes and she has been playing with them most of the day.
We got our new king size bed delivered today...........I just washed the sheets and made it up!! I just hope and pray the kids give me a chance to actually sleep on it tonight!!
I just realized that I haven't been posting my diet lately so here goes:
B- just coffee
S- cheese stick
L- mushroom, cheese and turkey breast omelet, water
S- vanilla yogurt and iced cappacino (yummy!)
D- beef stew, salad, a vege (haven't decided which one yet)
S- ?? I am out of cool whip so I can't have pb cups??

I hope you are all enjoying the beach as much as I am!!

I lost another 1 1/2 lbs this week! I have lost 37lbs altogether!! I only have another 11.5 to go!! I am thrilled beyond control!! Woohoo!! Go me!!

[mrsgjr]

Morning Deb! CONGRATS on the loss. Has to be a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and Very proud of ya Lady

Thank you for the comments on the goal weight. I am truly experiencing 'the last 10lb are hard to lose' thing though and not liking it at all Maybe I got a little laxed as I approached the goal weight and need to see where I'm going wrong to get these last few lbs off. Onward bound I go though Let's roll out!!

Glad your computer got fixed! The IT guy gave DH a loner last night as what he thought was wrong with it actually was only one part of the problem And so is life. Also hope you and DD are doing better. Wishing you a terrific Thursday as we continue our journey on the Beach
