I didnt get to work out yesterday, was feeling off and just not wanting to do it. So I decided to skip yesterday, but made it up today. I did 1 hour on the wii fit plus. I did 20 mins of the hula hoping and 30 mins of the free step then 10 mins of the golf. I was really working it off and sweating big time. Im starting to get into the grove of trying to do at least 30 mins a day. If I can get in more I do.
I ate cheerios for breakfast and the last of my salad with chicken. Dinner is hamburgers and rice and veggies then snack I may do yogurt or wheat thins which I only eat 16 the serving size.
It does get easier after the first week, so if your trying to lose weight and think you cant do it stick to it!

Weigh in was today lost another 2 lbs in the week! Im down to 317, so a total of 10lbs in 3 wks!! So happy about that. I found out that my scale which is what I use to weigh myself and my wii board dont match at all. One says 317 other says 321. I found out my friends is the same way, they are off any where from 3-4lbs. Very odd, I thought it was my scale at first but then I found out its not as my friend checked it out too. So for the time being going with the scale and not the wii board. When I first did the board it said I was down to 317 but my scale said 319. So Im sticking with the scale, I have my dr appointment Monday I will see what theirs says and go from there as to which is right. Im hoping my scale becuase if not I only lost 6lbs in 3 wks which will piss me off.
Today I missed breakfast again, not happy about it. But I havent been able to sleep the last few days. Some stress that is going around isnt helping. I got up around 3am to go to the bathroom and couldnt get back to sleep. So at 6 had to get the oldest up and going, got her off to the bus others were not up yet so I went to lay back down. Never actually fell back asleep until they were up, hubby took them thankfully. So I missed breakfast due to it. I did however have a salad with chicken and my smoothie for lunch. Yesterday I had oatmeal with bananas and then for lunch I had the rest of that chicken santa fe stuff over the rice. Dinner I had lasagna roll ups, which I only had 2 of the noodles so that wasnt too bad. Tonight doing pork chops and who knows, I think rice and veggies. I so have to start taking a vitamins even if I try to eat better. I noticed Im still not getting the amount of fruit and veggies in.
The wii fit plus in love with it. I have found out that they have a driving range, you hit 20 balls in five mins and burn 38 calories in that time. And the hula hoping Im in love with! I do 10 mins one way and 10 mins the other way I burn almost 200 calories in that 20 mins alone! It rocks, I did some of the balance games to calm down after doing all of that and some of them are hard. The boxing I have tried once but I couldnt figure out the feet so I havent done it since.
It has helped a ton to keep me going on the work out. Ive gone from 30 mins to 60 mins, I cut them in half too. 30 mins when the girls are down for a nap and then 30 mins after my youngest heads to bed but before my shows come on. This way I can burn off dinner too. My oldest loves doing it too and my hubby has gotten into it as well. Now his eating habits havent done very well which really does upset me, but I cant force him to eat something or not eat something.
All in all doing ok and feel better. Monday I go to the dr and Id love to see the scale down a ton. We will see, I did want to be 310 when I went but it wont happen sadly. I have to go get my youngest who is now up from her nap. So I wouldnt have covered the 1 hour anyway!

Its been a few days, sorry if anyone does read this! Ive been doing so well eating these days and I got the wii fit plus on Thurs. Ive been doing it every day expect yesterday. Yesterday my legs hurt so bad from doing the free step that I thought it was best to not do it.
For breakfast I had yogurt and a banana. Lunch I had 2 pork chops that I had left in the freezer, dinner will be a hamburger and rice. The other night I made Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken which is from weight watches, OMG love it!!! Everyone in the house loved it and it makes so much that I had some left over. Its got black beans, corn, chicken, tomatoes and some spices in it. I left somethings out, then you put it over rice. So good! Im going to make it again next week.
The wii fit plus if your thinking of getting it GO FOR IT! Well worth the money, Ive been doing free step which is steping on and off the board while you can watch tv. You keep it on and listen to the remote, you can do it for 10-20 or 30 mins. I do it for 30 mins, which I get around 2500-2600 steps. I burn around 230-250 calories, and I did the boxing today. That is neat, you have to move your feet and hands at the same time. I didnt do well but I did 10 mins of it. Id like to try again tomorrow, then they have the running. Which isnt for anyone my size yet, I did try it. You only use the remote, hold it or put it in your pocket. Then you run, you follow a guide in front of you and can do short or long distance. My oldest could do long distance but not me I barely made the short. How bad is that?!?
Its been busy around here but Im still doing good at working out and eating right. I wont do a weigh in until Wed because that will be a week, Im going to cry if I gained any now that Im doing more.

I missed yesterday as I was running around all day. Today was good, I feel less tired as Ive been working out and eating healthy. So this am I was up around 6, got breakfast at 730. I had oatmeal with bananas mixed in which was good. Then for lunch I had a salad with chicken and a smoothie(banana and OJ). Im going to make pork chops and rice for dinner, then yogurt for snack before bed. I bought myself yogurt and wheat thins as a snack and some other crackers that the girls have been eating already.
I went out and bought the wii fit plus yesterday. I didnt do a whole lot on it yesterday other than my profile which was interesting. Today I was able to actually do something, they have this thing called free strep which is where you are able to follow the remote with your steps but still watch tv. I just changed the channel and watched Bones on my DVR. I got 30 mins in and did over 2000 steps and burned 233 calories. Which isnt a lot so Id like to do another 15 mins or something else when the girls go to bed later. I want to check it out more when I can.
I think its going to help me out a lot, BTW Im down going by my wii fit plus another 2lbs. 317lbs is what it says! So Im down 10lbs going by that, so happy!!!!

Today is day 11 on my diet, so almost 2 wks. I wasnt going to weigh myself until I got the wii fit plus, but as you all know the board only supports 330lbs, being I was so close to it I didnt want to buy it and not be able to use it. So....I made hubby get a new battery for the scale and stepped on it this am. To my surprise I did lose weight, how much you might ask. EIGHT lbs, I lost 8lbs in the last 11 days!!!! Im so thrilled, Im now down to 319. So only 139lbs to go, wow still alot but not as much as it was right?!?!
This am I had 3 fried eggs with two pieces of toast. This afternoon they have a special the pizza place next to us a turkey bacon salad for 5 dollars. So hubby is going to get that for me for lunch, dinner will be chicken legs and rice I think. Once Im able to Ill be doing the wii, not sure if I can do it before the girls head to bed or not as my youngest fell asleep in her swing. My middle wont go down for another hour, so I doubt I can do it after hubby goes to his physical therapy.
Today started out very good, I have my depo shot the 31st of Jan or the 14th of Feb. I had some issues before so they gave me two appointments in case I cant make my first. I want to be down to 310 at least by the time I go. That way they will have me down as losing 24lbs. I was only 324 3 mos ago, gained 3lbs thanks to the damn holidays. That would be great and show them Im for sure trying to lose the weight. Then in April or May I have to go back to my regular dr to do my female things. I want to show them that Im losing it and not gaining it anymore. I want to be below 300lbs when I go back there, I think I can do it. I was 274 when I left the hospital with my youngest almost 9 mos ago, so I want to show that Im losing it or trying to. Every other time I went for the shot I gained weight. This time no more no more no more!
I cant believe how proud of myself I am, now Im going to push myself more because Ill be getting the wii fit tomorrow. YES tomorrow!! So excited, why not sure. Not many ppl would be excited about something to lose weight but I am. I heard such great things about the wii fit plus too. A friend of mine has it and loves it, so that pushed me more to want it. But because of my weight I was iffy about it but no more!
Now I know that I wont be losing that much weight every week or so, because it will slow down. Which is ok with me I know you should lose 1-2lbs a week, so as long as I can keep doing that or more Ill be happy.

I found out Im not writing to myself, someone else actually wrote a comment and thanks to that comment will make me double check my OJ. She asked about the sugar content in my OJ, I get sugar free(only natural sugars) OJ, BUT I have two coupons for buy 1 get 1 free OJ and its not my usual. I will have to look to see about the sugar content in them before I use the coupons. Not once did I actually think about it, because I was able to drink OJ when I was pg(I had GD when I was pg with my second and third daughters).
Today I ate toast for breakfast. I know not great but I had no milk left and no eggs, its time to head to the grocery store, no wait that is Thurs. So toast it was, I was going to do butter or jello, figured butter was better so went that route. I then decided to go to the local pizza place for lunch, I DIDNT have pizza. My girls and hubby did, but I got chicken with holidays(spelled so wrong)sauce. It came with a salad that had lemon it and also a small thing of pasta. The pasta had the sauce on it along with mushrooms and the chicken had mushrooms on it too. Very good, chicken was grilled too. Not sure how great it was for me but it was one chicken breast a side salad and a little pasta. After that did an hour of the wii, tried to change it up as my oldest didnt have school today thanks to the weather and she did play with me. We did an hour between sword fighting, table tennis and regular tennis. She is fun to play with, we were doing same sides for regular tennis and she missed it kept saying sorry. I had to tell her it was all good just a game not to stress it. Dinner, Im lazy tonight. Not really just didnt take anything out so the girls had left over pizza and I had my salad. The last of my salad too, so no more for a few days. Made up one of my smoothies, which OJ is gone too.
Im debating on doing another hour of the wii when the girls go to bed, unsure. I keep stalking walmart.com to see if the store next to us has the wii fit plus which it has limited stock. The other place is out of stock so I hope they have it in 2 days. DH said that we can run down Thurs after he gets paid to get it so excited. Then Thurs I can set it up, so if that is the case I will be able to do my weight too that day. All I can say is I hope hope hope hope I didnt gain any weight. Why am I so worried about it? Im doing what I should be doing, but we all know it doesnt work that easy at least not for some of us.
My MIL is a big lady and all she has to do is eat less and walk to lose the weight. She was for a while eating less and walking up and down her neighbors driveway as its so long she started to lose weight but she said it was too much. Then a friends hubby who is a big guy went on the road when he was driving a truck and was eating a lot better and lost weight. All he did as eat better nothing else. I wish it was that easy for me, I remember when we lived in the place we were at before, we had no car and had to walk all over the place. I had a hard time losing the last 30lbs I had to lose. I hope I can get down to that and then work as much as I can do the last few lbs, even when I worked my butt off as a deli manger I had issues losing the last 30lbs. I have a lot more then 30lbs so right now I hope that comes off easy, if I have to fight the last 30lbs Ill fight!

As I sit in my bathroom, well girls bathroom should I say, listening to my oldest daughter do her homework and my youngest taking a bath I thought it was the best time to blog. I got up early as all of my girls got up before 730 why not sure. Ate some rice crispies with skim milk for breakfast and then lunch was salad with a smoothie again. You see the whole salad thing, I buy them in a bag and they dont last long, so I always try to eat them before they go bad, plus its the one thing my middle daughter will eat!
Mil gave me two cans of tuna fish and a can of chicken breast. Now maybe I just dont shop in the big grocery stores because I didnt even know that they made chicken breast in a can. Its a huge can so I only used the serving size on my salad. It was good and my youngest daughter should know she ate some too. Its very hard for me to actually eat my own food usually I am sharing with one child or another! I ran out of lemons so had to use ranch dressing but only 2 table spoons like it says.
Now I have this tuna and everything else to make Tuna Noodle Casserole so I made that for dinner. I put corn in it instead of peas, I dont like peas. I only had a small plate of it and didnt go back to more. Im getting better going back for more these days, I dont have the urge so much so that is a major plus! Later Ill do another smoothie, as Im running out of OJ.
Im for sure getting the wii fit, my thing is Im so scared I gained weight instead of losing it. Even if Im eating better and also working out. I did my wii earlier when the girls napped with my oldest. She is more fun to play with then hubby because hubby loves to win and rubs it in when he does. My oldest isnt like that at all, so it was fun playing with her. She is excited about the wii fit plus too she wants to do it so it will get my girls moving too and they are eating better now too as Im eating better.
Trying to figure out how to make my cake mix better for me, I was told to use applesauce instead of butter. Ive done this once with my bread and it came out more moist! I use the cake mix for cookies. I put 2 eggs, butter and banana in a white cake mix and make cookies. The girls love them, but I wanted to make them more healthy guess I cant do too much that I know of beyond the apple sauce. I was told to use tofu replace of eggs, just not sure how much. I may try that not sure.
Its been going good on this diet like I said before Im freaking thinking I gained weight then lost, unsure how I can gain it but knowing my luck I did. If I did I will so cry my eyes out.

Jan 16 2011
Today was ok, I sadly missed breakfast. My youngest decided that she had to get up several times last night to nurse. Im not used to that, poor hubby was up with me too so he is tired. But I missed it as I slept in and thought it was too late to eat breakfast.
Lunch I had a salad with a banana smoothie! Which was so good, I usually add tuna or chicken to my salad which is what I did, chicken. Dinner Im not sure what Im going to have, we are doing left overs and I need more then a salad.
I made up some low calorie chocolate chip cookies today. They are good! I posted the recipe on the side, if you want to make them. A couple things if you try them, DONT go past the 10 mins it will make them hard and also dont use too little becuase what they do is spread out and some of mine look like pancakes instead of cookies. Other than that they do taste good, even the ones that look like pancakes and hard. I didnt burn any of them but even 2 mins over the 10 mins makes them hard.
I want to do a smoothie with the protein powder again before bed because it did fill me up last night where I didnt want to eat eat eat.

HELLO ALL! Today was a good day even if my youngest thought she had to get up several times last night. I ate cheerios for breakfast, I heard they are good for you. And I dont even put any sugar on them! I had a hamburger for lunch with a little ketchup. Then for dinner I made my girls tater tot casserole, which I love! Its something that isnt bad until you add the tater tots, but I made myself a salad with chicken. I put the lemon it like someone told me to(i had to get milk and juice so grabbed the salad and lemon today), it was really good. Thing is lemons dont last long in the fridge so not sure Ill always be able to do that. And now having myself a banana smoothie(which is one cup OJ, one banana and Ice then you blend). I added a scoop of my protein powder to it. It taste a little different with the protein but its still good! The girls are having their own, but without the protein.
My middle daughter has been a pain in the butt which is very stressful but I have been trying to stay positive and keep on track with my diet and working out. Working out, well as I went to the store today we parked pretty far away so we had to walk to get to the store. Then to top it off I had to walk in the snow and clean up the dog poop for 20 mins, yep 20 mins as it was all frozen so that was a work out within itself! And not a fun one to be honest. And since my middle has been a pain I havent had time to do any wii, but I will when they all head to bed. Ill do an hour all together, 30 mins of the tennis and 30 mins of the just dance 2.
Next week we will be getting the wii fit plus which is now not on sale. Can you believe how fast it went on sale to go off??!? Hubby will use it as well which is a plus! I also heard the wii active was good, unsure of the actual name. They make 2 of them, someone said its awesome and it does a 30 day challenge for you so you just set it and go from there. So if I ever get the money Ill get that too. I cant wait to see if I lost weight if I gained Im going to be so mad and talk to the dr asap!

And since my middle has been a pain I havent had time to do any wii, but I will when they all head to bed. Ill do an hour all together, 30 mins of the tennis and 30 mins of the just dance 2.
Next week we will be getting the wii fit plus which is now not on sale. Can you believe how fast it went on sale to go off??!? Hubby will use it as well which is a plus! I also heard the wii active was good, unsure of the actual name. They make 2 of them, someone said its awesome and it does a 30 day challenge for you so you just set it and go from there. So if I ever get the money Ill get that too. I cant wait to see if I lost weight if I gained Im going to be so mad and talk to the dr asap!

Wow I feel like Im writing to myself these days! I do have a person who follows me which is awesome! Today was a good day, I had a bowl of cheerios for breakfast, was able to clean the house up some then I had two small pork chops for lunch. I figured they were sitting in the freezer so Id cook them up! I was able to clean some more then my youngest got up from a nap so that was a joke to finish cleaning and doing what I had to do.
Dinner was 3 chicken tenders breaded and baked with some french fries. I didnt have too many french fries just a few but no ketchup or anything on them. Then back to cleaning, which I swear never ends these days. Had a small bowl of popcorn for snack as my girls did too which only has 30 calories even with butter on it per serving. So that is a plus, I found out a cup of pudding you get that is fat free only has around 25-30 calories per pudding cup so I can have one as a snack too.
Ive been moving more and eating less these days. Still trying to figure out what I can eat for a snack and such but getting there! My hubby is doing good with helping me and we dont have many temptations in the house either which is a plus.

One of those days I wish we went from Jan 12 to Jan 14. My father passed away 8 yrs ago today, so its hard on me. BUT I have gotten though it without screwing up my diet or anything. I made eggs ham and cheese again for breakfast, then I ate a salad with chicken for lunch. I did 30 mins of wii tennis, 10 mins of wii bowling(not really into that) and then I did 20 mins of deep cleaning. Which if any of you dont know cleaning really deep cleaning burns a ton of calories! Id should be thrilled as Im a stay at home mom, but really Im not. I dont always do deep cleaning, I pick up here and there some days other days I do some deep cleaning. I had a granola bar for snack which was 100 calories. Hamburgers and rice for dinner, Ill have 1 cup rice and 1 hamburger. I may even have some ketchup this time around!
After talking to a couple friends I have decided to stop using sparkpeople.com. It makes me stressed out if I dont get enough calories and it makes me not want to sleep as its going in my head how I didnt eat enough. So Im only using it to track my working out nothing more. Both friends told me its not good to stress out about it and if I do it may cause my weight to stay on and give me headaches. Dont want that, so like one friend said eat less move more! So that is what Im going to do, Im going to eat less and move more! We will be getting the wii fit in about a week so Ill be doing that as well and Ill be looking into some other healthy recipes. I have a couple which if I get time I will share them on my blog.
We have a great support group on FB Im thrilled that another girl and I started it! The ladies are great and help so much, if you have a question someone usually knows the answer. They dont judge you if you happen to mess up(eat a piece of cake) or anything like that. It makes me want to keep moving because I know Im going to see them lose the weight and I dont want to be stuck where I am or even bigger.

Today didnt go well for me, being a SAHM its hard because one kid gets sick they all do then you do. My oldest got sick over the wkend and missed school Monday, I thought I was in the clear as I didnt get it right after she started to feel better. NOPE, yesterday I started to feel like I had to throw up and to top it off my younger two threw up along with all night. So yeah I didnt stick to the diet as all I could eat was 3 pieces of toast.
Im doing veggies and pork chops for dinner, going to try to eat a small pork chop. Im feeling better but I dont want to push it. Which means no working out either, I want to go right to bed. I hope to be up to it tomorrow and eating right too we will see.

Im doing this blog to get it out there and maybe help others. I have had so much support to where Im shocked, but it gets over whelming big time. I have everyone telling me I cant eat this, I shouldnt eat that, I need to eat this, I have to change this and that. That is too much for me, yeah I dont mind the advice at all, but to be told Im doing it wrong gets to me. Got to me so much last night all I could think about was I wasnt eating enough calories or I was eating the wrong thing or how I took the night off doing the wii so Im screwed. That kept me all night last night, my mind was racing trying to figure out what Im doing wrong with this weight loss and what I MIGHT be doing right that I didnt get any sleep. So please feel free to help out but try not to push too much at this point!
Mind you all I have 3 kids and I dont want to put them on the diet either. They dont deserve to have no cookies or ice cream or anything of that sort. Im not telling my 2 yr old she cant have a chip because mommy is trying to lose the weight. That isnt fair to them at all, so please dont expect me to not give my kids a snack here or there or even myself. Im not hard core diet so I want a cookie Ill have a cookie, I want like a scoop of ice cream Ill have it! Not trying to sounds like a complete bitch or anything. My thing is to not give up on my life, not make my life horrible or be all focused on a diet. I dont want to make my kids go though a diet either nor my hubby unless he wants to(wish he would!)
I got up this am and wanted eggs, but not just eggs ham too. So I made some scrambled eggs put ham and cheese in them. I know cheese isnt good so I only did 1 slice of american cheese as that is all I had. I used Chys lunch meat ham and did 2 slices as that was the serving size. It was good, and Im doing my protein shakes too now. Chris and I did them before helped a lot not wanting to eat all of the time. So I had that for a snack, then my salad with tuna and ranch dressing. But a mama told me to try lemon or lime instead of the ranch dressing, I think Ill have to try that. Sounds really good! Tonight Im doing chicken in bread crumbs, going to bake it with some veggies. Have a protein shake before bed. I already did 30 mins of my wii tennis with Chris. Which wasnt fun as Chris is all for the winning and when he does win he rubs it in my face no fun at all. I want to do another 30 mins of that then 1 hour tomorrow on the Just Dance. Im not sure I want to go every other day or what. We have decided to get the wii plus fit because I heard such great things about it, its on sale now! Hopefully next week we can get it unsure.
I do feel good about what Im doing and want to keep feeling good. I dont want have to double thing what Im doing wrong or how Im doing it wrong. I want to feel good all over get enough sleep and do what has to do be done. I go shopping every 2 wks, so I have to start planning my meals next week which is why Im trying other things. I have to start getting more fruits and veggies as well as the girls and I both like them. We will try what we can at this point its to be healthy and happy not to be obsessed over losing the weight.

Dont know how many read my first post or even read the whole thing but I figured getting it off my chest makes me feel better so Ill keep writing even if no one reads it! Today was a busy day, I have got two sick kids. The ones where they throw up and have the runs, so usually I just grab what I can to eat and run. Today I didnt, I ate breakfast. I ate 1 cup of rice crispies with 1.2 cup milk, no sugar on the cereal. For lunch I had some salad with some chicken that was left over from last night. The Ranch dressing kills me so I only did 2 teaspoons of it nothing more nothing less. Boy that was hard as I had a lot of the salad and the chicken then anything else, but I dealt with it.
As for dinner boy that was rough, I had a cup of rice and a hamburger. Just one hamburger with no ketchup no mustard no buns no nothing. Boy was that hard, I couldnt believe I ate just a hamburger. But it was all for the sake of me losing the weight. I did get bad and had 1 chocolate chip cookie, but I did stop at one. Which was shocking!
Tonight I want to do the Just Dance well no I dont to be honest. I keep hearing ow I will lose some weight if I just watched what I ate, but I dont want to just lose some I want to lose it all. Every time I go to eat something or I want something sweet I have to keep reminding myself that its all for the weight lose and nothing more. I have to stop myself at times because I do want something but instead I go for water! Im not fond of water, but hey it works.
I swear Im the only one who is over 300lbs on the weight loss support group we have going on. Which means Im the one with more to lose and more to show. Which sucks big time, boy even now trying to lose the weight Im looking at others and judging them side by side with me. How sad is that, I did notice as I got bigger I was looking at these nice skinny girls going I hate them, or I should be that small. Im trying to stop that as its not good for me either.
I just want to go Feb 14th to the dr to get my shot and see the scale go down. It will be over a month of me being on the diet and trying to work out, noticed I said trying. Im not good about doing things like that, but Im going to push myself as much as I can. I know Im not alone, I so wish I had a treadmill maybe Ill get one......

Diets boy do we all hate that word. But every now and then we decide its time to get on one, sometimes we stick to them other times we dont. I have dont this before, yep the diet thing and Im hopeful this time I will stick to it. My diet isnt one of those diets where you only eat meat, or you cant eat this or that. I want to still be able to eat everything. Be healthy by eating the foods I know I should eat and the ones I shouldnt eat but also cut back on the amount I eat. Simple enough NOPE! Its really hard at times to not go back for seconds or to say to yourself YOU SHOULDNT eat that when you know you want to. Looking at that cookies staring back at you knowing you shouldnt eat it or that ice cream in your freezer calling your name.
Im a big girl I wasnt big growing up but I ended up getting pregnant at a young age and had some issues with it. Causing my weight to go up big time, that is when it all started. I started to work when my oldest was a baby, lost a lot of weight and was happy where I was at that time. Sadly my father got very ill and passed away then some hard times for my hubby and I caused me to gain the weight and then some. So back to where I was in fact bigger, ugh what a pain this was going to be. I became a stay at home mom which caused me to do nothing outside the home as in working out. I didnt mind me big the size I was until it got out of hand, we tried to conceive our middle daughter and got pg right away. Sadly at 2 mos the pregnancy ended in miscarriage which caused more issues for me. I was so upset with this matter to where I stopped thinking about me and only thought about having another baby. My weight got in the way so I was told, after years of trying I decided it was time.
Time to do the diet thing. I got on sparkpeople.com which is a site to track your calories and carbs and fats, as long you imput what you ate that day. It was my life for a while, I was obsessed on making the goals they gave me and working out. I felt great, boom got pregnant and this time it stuck! I found out I pregnancy diabetes, which was so bad where I had to be on insulin. I lost a lot of weight even being pregnant due to the diet I had to be on and such. I was so thrilled about the weight loss and how I felt after having my second. I stopped watching what I ate and working out, there goes the weight back up. I got back on a diet after I got off the birth control pill which is when my middle was a yr old, at this point we were not trying to have another but not preventing Thinking it would take as long as it did before I got on the diet again and found out 2 mos into it I was pregnant.
Big shocker at this point I found out I had diabetes but not as bad. So I gained around 50lbs, nothing major I thought to myself I could do this. So after having her I decided Id just watch what I ate nothing more nothing less. Much harder then I expected this time not sure why, I was told the depo shot was part of the reason wanting to eat all of the time. I ate all of the time and went back for seconds and thirds. It was bad to where I would go every 3 mos for my depo shot my weight went up and up and up. I was so upset with myself, but it hit me the day I had to go clothes shopping because I had no pants that would fit me.
My youngest being 9 mos old now, Im at my heaviest 327lbs and a size 24. I want to be down to 180 or a size 14-16. So 2011 came around and I said to myself its time, time for me to stick to it and time for me to do it for myself. Time to be able to go into a store and not worry about what people are thinking of me or who is staring at me. Time for me to do it for my kids so I can see them grow up and have kids of their own!
I have been doing good, today I skipped breakfast. Having kids means getting up in the middle of the night. My 9 mos still gets up to nurse, yes I still nurse her which I heard was good to loose weight, haha my ass. So my husband will take the kids to allow me to sleep in, which means I miss breakfast at times. Not a good thing when trying to loose weight, so I hear. I decided to eat pork chops with a nice sauce on it. It was a cranberry sauce that had cider vinegar and mustard in it. Its not too sweet or anything either, then sadly I ate 4 chocolate chip cookies. That was my down fall, I did drink water all day today until now. For dinner I ate 1 cup of chicken and 1 cup of white rice. I heard brown is better so Ill be getting some next time I go grocery shopping. When I decided to do a snack for the girls which was ice cream I didnt get a bowl for myself! I wanted to but I wanted more self control and I didnt do it!
My issues is sweets and sweet tea. I love me some sweet tea, and brownies, and cookies and chips. I heard DONT have them in the house when your on a diet. Very hard when you have kids, they deserve to have a few things themselves nothing major just some. So to me if you cant have it in your house you dont have enough self control. So I want to be sure I have enough self control. The girls get somethings nothing major, just 1 cookie or the a few chips in a bowl. My husband I wish would watch what he eats but its up to him not me, I may push him more!
Onto working out, who wants to work out? Who wants to do something so dull? Not me, I hated doing it when I did it before and was dreading doing it this time. We bought the wii, which is a great thing if you ask me. I got my oldest daughter Just Dance Kids, its a game you dance with the person. Which actually is harder then you thing trust me. I decided 30mins to an hour a day doing that or doing the sports games(bowling, tennis, golf, boxing, ect)would help out and its fun! So onto the first day of the dancing which was today. HAHA Im sure if anyone looked into my windows they would have ran away, a girl over 300lbs dancing Im sure isnt a site anyone wants to see. But it was fun and hard, I at first wasnt moving my feet thinking I didnt have to as the controller is on your hand. But I I got into and started to move everything, it was so fun. Got me sweating up a storm, when 30 mins went by I couldnt do it anymore. I was sweating and my feet hurt, figured Id get used to it so I can do longer when and longer. I will also change it up from the dancing to the sports, which Ill do the sports in front of the family. The dancing I wont do it in front of the hubby, Im sure he would laugh his ass off if he saw me do it!
Support is what you need too, you need someone to be there for you. So on facebook we made a group and I have a few ladies who are also on a diet. Each one doing it different then the next but there for the same reason support! These ladies the last 2 days have pushed me to drink more water, to get up and do the dancing even if I didnt want to. If you dont have support from family or friends then go online, there is always groups for it! Or ask me about the group on facebook and your be welcome to join!
