Beachy Mommy On My Way

[Beaching It]

Hi Deb, have a great week on the beach.

[teachermomof2]

I have been doing very well on the beach! I have been eating tons of veges, multigrain, high fibre cereal for breakfast and nutritional snacks..............go me!! I still haven't been exercising like I should be but we can't all be perfect... My back is starting to feel a bit better these days! I went a week and a half between chiro appts and 2 weeks ago I went twice in the same week. It is good to finally see some progress in that area. I am really trying to stretch out my back a lot and get my ab workout in every couple days to strengthen and I guess it must be working! Either way, I'm thrilled!
My kids are just coming to the end of another viral infection that has lasted a week and a half now.........no vomiting but fevers, diarhea and whininess. It better be over this time! Kids are doing much better though, so I need to take what I can get!
Seeing the 130s this past week has sure encouraged and motivated me to get these last 9 pounds off!! I just looked at a calendar and it is 7 weeks until I go back to work and I have 9 lbs to lose!! That is so doable!! I have a lot to get done in that time getting ready for school, getting those odds and ends done at home that I thought would be done by now , and I just recently decided to redo my office/craft room because it drives me crazy!! I am someone that needs organization to work effectively and that word does not describe my office! I need to do some redecorating and reorganizing to make it more of a functional space but also to make it a pleasant place for me to be!! I have just started on Friday and it should be fun!!
I just read in someone else's journal that they have difficulty staying on the beach when they stay home...............that's funny because I have difficulty when I leave the house! I can control what food choices I have at home moreso than another person's home or eating out. I guess it's all in the way you look at it!
Have a fantastically beachy week!

Afternoon Deb!! Look at you traveling the beach showin off on the E-Train Good job

I'll have to roll with you on the eating bad is easier outside of the house. As you said, I can control what is in my home but can't when i'm out. And so is life.

Take good care of Deb today

Hey Deb, glad you are doing so well and hope your family is all better now. Have a great weekend on the beach.

[teachermomof2]

Hey Wanda & Lisa - thanks for stopping by.................I hope all is beachy in your world! I noticed you are down a pound, Lisa ....good for you!!:mrgreen:
I am doing ok on the beach, just a few minor snitches here or there. My mom was out here for a few days so I didn't get to see the computer very much. DD#2 is teething so here I go again with up all hours of the night............will it never end??
We are off to Edmonton tomorrow for a few days of relaxation, shopping, family and friends. I can't wait but wow does it take a lot of planning and packing for a few days..............it will all be worth it so that's ok
I hope the beach is good to you all!!

Hey Deb! Teething can be hard but yes, it shall end...I mean, she's got to chew at some point right (that's the end)?!

Wishing you safe travels to Edmonton. Hoping that you take good care of you and truly relax and enjoy your time with loved ones!

[Beaching It]

Hey Deb, I have 2 kids and I can tell you that the sleepless nights will end, as will the teething, the meltdowns, the inconsistent schedule, etc. DD has just turned 5 and the meltdowns are over (mostly) but the drama has kicked into high gear! If it's not one thing it's the other...

Hope you have a wonderful time in Edmonton. I know what you mean about the planning it takes to go anywhere.... but it's worth the work. Fun times! Talk to you when you get back.

[mrsgjr]

Happy Monday Deb!! Hoping you're enjoying your time away and wishing you a marvelous Monday on the Beach

[teachermomof2]

Edmonton was so awesome!! Shopping, spending time with the kids & DH, and family hanging out at the waterpark.........oh, yeah and the shopping! My DH convinced me to buy a new jacket (that I so wouldn't have bought if he wasn't there) and I'm so glad.............oh it was a medium ***serious happy dancing***! We had a great time visiting with family and friends. Many of them haven't seen me since last fall and were astounded at how small I am...............that felt sooooo good!! I tried to eat beachy, well except for the Tim Horton's coffee and the ice cream. But that was my treat! I enjoyed it very much!!
Oh and about the teething thing.............DD2 popped out 5 teeth on Saturday!! The poor kid! I was up with her quite a bit in Edmonton but at least I know why!
Lisa - your drama is just starting at 5 ............that's impressive........my DD1 could potentially teach classes already..........I guess she's just a quick learner!
Wanda - yes, she does have to chew at some point and with these new teeth she started biting me in Edmonton! The little turkey got me on the shoulder a few times!
Have a great week!

[mrsgjr]

Deb so happy you enjoyed shopping, I mean Edmonton Doesn't it feel great when people notice AND you buy smaller sized clothing??!! Good for you Lady

WOW, 5 teeth at once?! That poor baby...and mommy And FYI to you & Lisa, the drama escalates from 5. Remember...I have a 16yr old with an MBA in Drama Queenism

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday xoxoxo

It's actually kind of funny i can get the general gist of some posts by the amount and type of smiley faces in it before i actually read it! Im glad you had a good time and as for the treat it could of been much worse. Is there something special/sweet or hidden about tim hortons coffee? Coffee is allowed on SB long as you use artificial sweetener or none. I dont really enjoy coffee personally so i dont know about the tim hortons. Congratz on the medium! Im drilling holes in my belt now because i hate shopping so much and am running out of holes....guess i need to just suck it up and go.

I can relate to the teeth thing but 5 at once OUCH! My daughter kept getting them 2 at a time, she's been taking her sweet time on getting the one she cut last thursday.

they only get so many teeth so it will be over eventually!

Way to go on the weight loss!

[Beaching It]

Hi Deb, so glad to hear you had an awesome getaway and bought a size M jacket! Yay for you and yay for DH for talking you into it. Isn't it fun to see people you haven't seen for a while and watch their reaction to your appearance??

Your poor baby and 5 teeth - wow! My DD has always been a drama queen but recently she's really stepped it up quite a bit. Wanda you make me laugh. I know that we've probably seen nothing yet!

[teachermomof2]

I'm doing well and my poor baby is doing ok with her 5 new teeth. She is up quite a bit in the night but that is not new for her........or me! She seems to be hanging onto mom a bit more these days - a bit sucky but overall taking it in stride!!
I'm doing ok on the beach.........proabaly not all the servings I should be getting but the food is beachy that I'm eating so I guess that's something!! I had a massage today and it was.................glorious!!
I am down another lb this week!! I was pretty impressed after just coming back from Edmonton!! (I wasn't totally beachy there! )

Hey Lisa & Wanda - the drama queenism in my future scares me (we have 2 girls!)..............Wanda we may need your help!! (and counselling )

Hello mama2aprincess - I can relate to being the mama to a princess, she does crack me up sometimes though!! Anyway, thanks for stopping in.........I guess the good thing about 5 is that she gets it over with quick! I need something to get me through this!

Jeff - buy a new belt!! LOL - the drilling holes thing makes me laugh. I like smiley faces.............doesn't everyone!! The Tim Horton's coffee thing is that I like the french vanilla one............oh ya and the iced cappacino.........which both probably have enough sugar for a whole week in them! Oh, did I forget to mention that?

[teachermomof2]

This weekend went well. I ate pretty beachy and somewhat behaved myself. I stepped on the scale this morning and I was down a bit again but it isn't official for me until Tuesday for the Biggest Loser weigh in. (so it technically doesn't count but I'm sure hopeful )
My DD2 has cut yet another tooth........that would be 6 in one week. She is doing ok but a bit fussy............go figure!
Have a great week all!
Deb
