Success?!?

Is it a hint? My step stool finally gave out on me. The only really bad thing is that he gave out while I was on him. I fell and landed right on the top bar. That was Thursday of last week. I am still in so much pain it is crazy. I tried to exercise the other day and couldn't because it hurt so bad. My sister made me laugh telling me that the stool was trying to give me a hint, "Hey Chubby! Remember that weight loss goal you were trying to do? Well, maybe you should get on that and get OFF me!" Then it collapsed. It is now outside because it can't handle the sight of me munching on those Cadbury eggs I fell in love with. So the kids have dropped hints, "If you drink anymore caffeine you will be grounded!" and the stool "I can't take anymore of this Chubby!" Maybe somewhere in all that I listened as I lost weight. I tried really hard to not be upset about it as it was only 0.4 but at least it is not a gain. And here is some more exercise humor. Butterball follows EVERYTHING the Mii does when he exercises. It is so cute!

Surprise!

I am totally shocked! I ate so bad. I was still sick, tired, and didn't exercise. Received a yummy delicious huge box of chocolates from my husband for Valentine's Day. And yet the scale said...........................wait for it.........................................THE SAME!!!!!!! I did not gain!!!!!! I was shocked as I ate the whole box by myself. Shhhh. It was so good. It is a good thing we don't get those all the time. :) Now if I could sleep so I could get better then maybe just maybe I could feel human.

One thing is I am very good at quitting. I quit everything! So I absolutely feel that I need and want to not quit this.

So...here is a little humor for you. I wonder if I look this funny when I do the hula hoop on the Wii. She is so funny when she exercises. I love it.

Good news and not so good news

-o.7..........that is the good news. The not so good news? I still didn't lose what I had gained last week. Argh! But even though my success, or lack of it, is not that great, I am still glad I am doing this. It makes me more......aware of what I am eating knowing that I will have to blog it later.

To review last week....I was really sick AGAIN! And was getting very little sleep. So I kind of canned the exercise last week and just tried to get better. I feel much better today but am still sick. And the bad air is killing me! My asthma has been bad. I also started nursing the baby at night again. Long story there. And for some reason I am feeling some major "Last Supper" eating today. I am not sure why....probably that I was not as happy with my weight loss. "Last Supper" eating is something I learned in a book I have been reading called Intuitive Eating. It is what you usually feel before you go on a diet...like you will suddenly have forbidden foods so you eat a TON of everything. I am really loving this book so far.

Now I have a question....for anyone that knows stuff about high blood pressure. I have been taking my pills but forget the first one most of the time. But my heart races a lot at night. Anyone know if that has anything to do with it? So I don't sleep well at all. Makes for rough days for sure.

OK. I am off to try and have a better week....wish me luck!

The truth comes out.

My daughter was wearing a sweater that my sister had crocheted for her. She said, "Wow these sleeves are really big. I think they are made for a really big persons arms." Then she glances at me and says, "Yeah, they are made for your arms Mom."

Good thing we have been doing family workouts. Love her workout clothes.

+ 1.8

Let's review the week......

Tried to stop baby from night time nursing.

Tried to stop baby from sleeping with me.

Was sick with a cold and/or migraine most of the week.

I am trying really really hard to not beat myself up about this weight gain. It was a super bad week. I am only hoping that as I only got 3 hours of sleep again last night that it is not a sign of what the coming week will hold. Wish me luck!
