I'm hoping to get into the swing of things....

Well my ankle is finally starting to feel better so I'm *hoping* to get back into the swing of things. I've been really watching how much I eat lately since I haven't been able to workout. I've lost 5 lbs so far! YAY! Now if I could just add some exercise then maybe the weight can just come off. I've been really dragging lately though. I think it's cause I haven't felt well. I've been SO tired. But I'm hoping to add some exercise and fix that. Anyways I'm not throwing my goal, 20 lbs by Jan 5, out the window just yet. I've got 5, only need 15 more....I can do this!!! Who's with me????

Much love!

Gotta get my butt in gear!!!

Well it's time to really start up this weight loss. I'm SO depressed about everything!!!! I had some pictures of me and the kids and I look SO fat! I hate it!!! So I got Katie (my bros fiance) on at the apple and we are on a mission to lose (at least) 20 lbs for her wedding!!! So I have until Jan 5 to lose some weight. My only problem is that the more and more I exercise the more and more kidney stones I have....so I guess my only option is to push through it! Which I have. So anyways anyone want to join me in my weight loss journy?!?!

Much love!

SO BUSY!!

Hey everyone I've been SO busy with working in harvest and trying to catch up. I'll be updating all the kids sites, my blogs, and the family sites some come back and say hi! Don't forget to leave a comment! Much Love!!!

Weightloss back on!

Well my weightloss has been put on hold for the last few weeks. But now that I'm caught up, for the most part, I get to get back to exercising. My brother is getting married in Jan and I'd really like to lose some weight for that. I've got to go get weighed today so I know where I'm starting at. I'm also headed to the gym a little later. Anyways stay tuned I'm hoping to start up weekly wegih ins on Wed with messurments on Thursday. Much love!

Weightloss going....um ok?

So I haven't been around much. I haven't walked in the last week cause I've been bouncing in a spud truck. So as far as weightloss it's been on hold. Hmm does bouncing in a truck count as exercise??? lol I wish!! Anyways I'm hoping to get to the gym starting next week. Anyways I'll be back when I have more time....

Still doing good....

Well I'm still doing good with walking. I've only missed a few days of walking. I noticed my pants are fitting differently. I haven't weighed myself just yet. I'm hoping to see a change. I just got on at the apple authetic club so I'm hoping to go there for a few days and exercise! I can't wait!!! I also started taking more of my meds. I'm going to talk to the doctor this week about getting on some other meds to help lose the weight. Anyways that's my quick update I need to go! Much love to you all!

Good start!

Well so far I'm doing really good on my weight loss. I've so far lost 4lbs. Some other ladies in my neighborhood have kids Jordan's age. So we just put the kids on the bus and go for a walk. We normally are gone about 75 mins or more. The one lady went around in her car and it ended up being like 3 miles ONE WAY!! Pretty cool! The only down side is I'm exhuasted!!! AND I got a blister on my toe. No worries I still went walking, which I'm VERY proudy of!!! So I'm hoping to get this weight off! I started back on my metforin on Sunday. I have to get up to 2000 mg a day! Isn't that crazy? But I'd rather take pills than insulin shots. I'm thinking of asking about byetta. I hear that helps a lot with weight loss. But we'll see. Anyways that's what's up with me! Hope all is well with you all!

Much love!

Ugh bad appointment

So I had my diabetic appointment on Wed and it didn't go well. I found out that there are four stages to being diabetic there's normal people, then it can turn into insulin resistant, then to pre diabetic (which is a really small area a lot of people skip this and just go from insulin resistant to diabetic) then to full blown diabetic. after many tests and such turns out I'm pre diabetic. but I'm online like 3 points from being diabetic. lovely huh? so anyways I HAVE to loss this weight. they put me back on metformin he wants me to get up to 2000 mg a day!!!! that's just crazy to me. I'm also on a..ok i'm suppose to be on a low carb diet and i'm suppose to eat 6 times a day! I can't do that so I'm just cutting back a lot, drinking tons of water and exercising a lot. so anyways I have to go back in 6 months and then if I haven't lost weight by then they'll retest and see if I need to go on insulin. SO if wanting to lose the weight to look and feel good wasn't enough motivation then by gosh not going on insulin is HUGE!!!!! so anyways i'm working my butt off. i need to lose at least like 50 lbs by march! So I got my work cut out for me.....but I've been doing good so far.....just got to keep thinking about all those needles and cost and such..

So here's to losing some weight so I can get HEALTHY!!!!!

Started finally!!!

So I FINALLY got an exercise session in!!! I mean not like just walking or doing exercise but an actual video of me doing it.....it was so nice. Tiring but nice. I've bee trying to walk a lot at work and such, so I'm hoping to see a weight loss next week. I'm going to start doing stats on Wed but posting them hopefully Thurs. So here's to keeping it up!!!
