OH, 161. Just one pound lost. I was doing so well what freaking happened. I might know but I didn't think that just a few cookies and candy would make that big of a difference. It's not like I drank any soda at all or ate after 7:30. Crap I need to kick it up a notch I guess. Alright for the next while I need to kick up my water intake. I am not doing that all that well and I need to try harder. I totally biffed it on the treadmill this morning. This stinky weight fell down and I tripped over it. I have a nice raspberry to show for it. I am such a stinkin dork. This photo was of me in a summer theater the year after I was married. I was playing a sexy nurse and I was cute and sexy and not necessarily skinny by any means but healthy and very active and happy with myself. I hope this is motivation for later. I have some questions for you guys. I live on a ski resort and my daughter goes to school like 40 miles away so when I am in town I stay there for awhile. I almost have to eat out. Is there any good fast food that is a good healthy option that you guys are aware of? Let me know. Work it baby!

The New Me!!

I love looking at the pictures of you girls and so I posted some more of myself. Recently I decided to become a brunette. So here is the new me hopefully I get a new body to go with it!!

Week 2

Ok so I lost more and I was pretty surprised that I lost as much as I did. I am hoping that I won't plateau too soon but who know?? I have totally not gotten in 1 hour of exercise a day I mean I totally can't fit it in. I run for 30 minutes in the morning and than it is off to the grind and at the end of the day it is bath and family time. I should get my family to go on walks with me I guess. (They just don't book it like I would like them too) I have been eating a lot of nuts, string cheese, salads, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, and steamed veggies. I have a hard time going straight to water from soda so I am a big crystal light fan. I think the not eating after 7:30 is a big deal. My favorite thing used to be sitting in bed downing a bag of mini-Reeses. That is the time that I could be alone and of course I would eat bad. Not a good combo. OK just a little funny thing. I hate my mom stomach rolls as most do but the funny thing is that I am nursing my 4 month old and he rests right on top of that roll below my boobs. HA HA it is a bit funny though. By the way running with big huge mom knockers takes getting used too. I have starting wearing 2 sports bras to keep those puppies in line. Well I am down to 162 from last weeks 166 and I hope that I keep going. Don't give up and don't give in!!!

Mothers and Daughters and Weight

I feel like I am posting a lot lately but I feel that I just have a lot to think about. Growing up my mother was overweight and so am I and so is my sister. I have a six-year old little girl and I so don't want to pass on bad habits to her. I have been talking a lot about my weight lately and how fat that I feel and she has picked up on it. She asked me the other day if her belly looked fat or not and it hit me how much of an example that I am to her. I want her to look up to me and be proud of me and I also don't want to put myself down because of my looks. She will scrutinize herself and she is beautiful!! I am speaking for myself of course and for all of you others who have children especially girls we need to teach them that the most important thing is to be healthy and strong and not necessarily WEIGHT!! I need to realize that I am her example of what a woman should be and what a HUGE responsiblity that is and what a "weight" on my shoulders. I vow to speak kinder about myself so that she can learn to love herself later in life as well....no matter what her weight.

Alright so I live right on a ski resort in northeastern Arizona. My husband runs the lodge and so of course it is all about skiing and stuff. I am like the worst stinking skier ever. My husband is awesome and my 6-year old is starting to freaking do moguls and stuff and my 3-year old will start this winter. I could have free daycare, free skis, free passes, and free private lessons and I still won't do it. I am so afraid because of my weight that I will crash and burn hard. I am making a vow to start this winter. I so don't want to be an on the sidelines mom I want to be a mom who is right alongside with them. It would be so great if I could get some weight off for that so I could feel more comfortable and feel strong enough to do it. (And look like this little ski-bunny too)

Pizza Hut, Oh Crap!

So my food journal for yesterday:
oatmeal
milk
yogurt
PIZZA FREAKING HUT BUFFET!!! My friends invited me and I said sure. It is so hard when socializing always means eating. I mean I had not soda and I tried my hardest to eat like 2 plates of salad first so I wouldn't want pizza but who doesn't want freaking pizza for crying out loud! So 2 very small pieces later and a cinnamon stick I finished. I am just giving myself props for not gorging and drinking 3 glasses of Dr. Pepper like I usually do. I also babysat my friends kids and snacked on some cheese and skittles at her house. I felt super guilty later and had some life cereal for dinner. Oh well always trying better every day.

Off To A Good Start??

OK so food journal yesterday:
oatmeal
milk
yogurt
trail mix
2 cheeses
more oatmeal(I like oatmeal)
baked potato
chicken
raw carrots and cucumbers.

I have the hardest time trying to come up with new menu items. I feel like I eat the same stinkin things and than I get bored and of course eat what I'm not supposed to. I also am having issues with my little 4 month old. He loves to scream in his bouncy chair at me while I'm on the treadmill which really makes me focused(sarcasm) I need to start exercising more outside while the weather is still good. I had a good day yesterday but I hope I can keep it up. What are your favorite snacks that are low calorie???

Alrighty baby!!

So I am currently leaving to go camping on the first day of the weigh-in with my family. That means tons of pop, treats and all of the rest of it. Sounds like total sabotage to me correct?? I am going to try to do my best at writing a food and work out journal everyday. Dr. Pepper is my enemy as is all pop in general. I just love the burn down the throat. I swear that I can feel my eyes roll back in my head when I drink it. That totally can't be good, right??
