We had weigh in yesterday and the scale was not nice to me. It said I gained 7.5 lbs, what??!! I have only lost 9 since we started in Jan and now I just gained all but 1.5 back. This is so not fair, I bet it was all the sodium in the beef jerkey I had on Sat night, or the pizza at Chuck E Cheese's for Carmen's B-day, or the fact that we have been so busy that I haven't excercised. My motivation has dropped again and I'm asking you guys for suggestions. Those of you who have been in my shoes what has helped you stay on track with the excercise or the eating? Oh that one cheeseburger won't hurt, but I never stop with that. I think that if I already messed up the week with that one cheeseburger I might as well eat yummy food the rest of the week.
Carmen had a blast at her much anticipated Chuck E Cheese birthday party. I made her a castle cake and thought it didn't turn out too bad. I'm amazed but Carmen has not brought up her birthday since last Wednesday and let me tell you that's all we have heard about since the first of the year.
I got a phone call today that I won a drawing at Women of Faith to attend A New Life Weekend! They have workshops and small group discussions with counselors to work through their problems in life. The closest one is in Denver and its 3 days, I get the registration of $649 free but still would have to fork over $400 for transportation, hotel & food. I think I'm just going to offer it to someone else, but I was surprised that I actually won.
I loved the weather today, too bad I was at work. The chickens are getting HUGE and we finally moved them into the coop tonight. That's all I know for tonight, Good night!
wow becky you made that cake?!?!?!! so adorable!!!

Carmen's glowing smile says it all - this little princess was THRILLED to have the Chucke Cheese b-day party! What a BLAST!
ReplyDeleteAs for the BLC......EXERCISE is the ONLY thing that keeps me on track. Now that the weather is nice, maybe we could start walking a couple evening's a week.....
just my Nickel's worth!
Love ya Mom
The thing that has helped me keep the weight off is watching my portion sizes. I try to eat really well during the week so I can splurge on the weekends! Weight Watchers really works for me. But I can't do it online. I have to go to the meetings. They teach you how to eat which means you can eat whatever you want. Once I hit my goal weight, then it starts to fluxuate a bit. But if it starts to get too high, I go right back to the WW "diet" until I am back where I want to be. Hang in there. Spring is coming and that makes it easier to get out and do some exercise.
