The Diet...Week 5

I'm loving the successful progress I'm making! I lost 3.2 lbs this week. This morning the rain was beating down and the thunder was rolling and you don't know how bad I wanted to pull the sheets over my head and go back to sleep. But I wanted to go to weigh in so bad! I got up and made my way to the shower and I'm so glad I did. Starting Weight 211.4 (2/19) Week 2: 207 (2/26) Week 3: 201.8 (3/12) Week 4: 199 (3/19) Week 5: 195.8 (3/26) Total: 15.6 I can't wait for next weeks weigh in and I'm looking so forward to hitting that 20 lb mark! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week :) I'm not sure why it won't allow me to put my weeks under each other...oh well!

Mollie lost a TOOTH!!!

So happy for my BIG girl, but reality has set in and I'm slowly realizing that my baby is growing up too fast. I picked mollie up from school on Tuesday and noticed that her tooth looked funny. I asked her if she had lost a tooth and she said, "NO!" Well I said, "Let me see" It was soooo loose. I thought she might have fell and hit it on something to knock it loose but I confirmed with her teacher and they said no. Well, Mollie insisted that the tooth must come out. She said I can't eat! So I told her just to wiggle and twist it and she got it REALLY loose. When we got to Nana and Papa's, she let me pull it! No crying, NOTHING. I'm sure the next one will be a little different. With this being her first one, she experienced a little discomfort and confessed it hurt "Just a little bit Mommy!"
The tooth fairy visited and brought $5 and now she wants to be a tooth fairy when she grows up..HEHE :)

Mollie was so proud of her MILESTONE! She had to show off, and this baby thought her sissy was the stuff!!!

I love my GIRLS!!!

The Diet...Week 4

YAY!! I did it! Last week I had mentioned that MY goal for this week would be to meet my 5% goal and be under the 200 lb mark...well I met both of those and I was so proud of myself!
Starting Weight 211.4 (2/19)
Week 2: 207 (2/26)
Week 3: 201.8 (3/12)
Week 4: 199 (3/19)
Total: 12.6
Saturday was exactly one month since I have started and I think I'm making some good progress!
I lost 2.8 this week and it really feels good!
I can really tell in my clothes that the weight is coming off. I can't wait until I have to buy new one's! Another thing I am looking forward to is hitting that 20 lb mark. I think it's downhill from here. Being under the 200 lb mark for me is so accomplishing!

The Diet...Week 3

One word...YIPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
I just got back from my weekly meeting and I am so proud of myself. I did a little happy dance to my car!!
Starting Weight: 211.4 (2/19/2011)
Week 2: 207 (2/26/2011)
Week 3: 201.8 (3/12/2011)
That's a total of 9.6 pounds and I'm so overjoyed!
I'm almost at my 5% goal which is 10.5 and that's MY GOAL for next week. I would also like to get under 200lbs for next week.
In today's meeting we talked about what tools keep us motivated and keep us on track.
Mastering the Basics:
-Stay on Target: Stick to your daily PointsPlus Target
-Power Up: Surround yourself with healthy, filling food choices
-Treat Yourself: Use your weekly PointPlus Allowance to avoid feeling deprived
-Get Up & Go: Be active-whenever and however you can

The meetings give be so much motivation and its so good to hear every one's success stories.
I hope to have one soon!

Until next week's weigh in, thank you Weight Watchers for the encouragement!
Have a nice weekend!

The Diet...Week 2

Well, I'm out of town for weigh in-week 2, but I weighed Friday and I'm down some more. I don't really trust my scales, but I know I lost. I feel like I did anyways! So, I have to hold tight for another week and get my true weight. I'm excited, although DIETS & VACATIONS don't mix too well. I tried so very hard NOT to ruin what I have started.

Short and Sweet and patiently awaiting Saturday morning weigh in.

Did I mention how hard it is to stay on track when you're on vacation?!?!

Have a nice and healthly week :)

Maycie-5 Months

Maycie-You are 5 months old!

Life is so precious and goes by way too fast.

Before I know it you will be 5 years old :( and I'm in no hurry for that day!

Here's what you've been up to lately:

No check up this month, but we will go for your 6 month check-up.

I'm curious to see what you weigh, you work hard to keep that oh-so-sweet cuddly little bod up!

Not too many changes from last month, but there are a few.

You did move up to a size 3 in diapers ! Gotta make sure the tush in covered well!

You are still wearing 6 months in clothes, although the shirt above is 9 months!!!

You are still Breastfeeding and aren't so demanding as you once were. You eat about every 3 hours, give or take a few...I mainly feed you on demand, which works well for us :)

We did try some carrots and sweet potatoes and eh, you could take em or leave em.

I also tried juice once and you had the same reaction with it as you did the baby food.

Nothing like your momma's milk!


You still love your bathes! Maybe you will be like me and love bathtime always. I love to relax in a warm bath! As I sit here typing about how much you love your baths, your silly sister is trying to talk herself out of a bath ;)

Still no teeth but your gums are so hard, I think it will be soon. I looked in Mollie's baby book and she cut her 1st tooth at 5 1/2 months. Not that that means anything, but just for the record!

You are loving your paci more and more everyday, which is kinda scary :/

You are still a good sleeper and you take about 2 good naps a day. You love sleeping late, but you love staying up late (not too late) too!

You still love your swing and you love your mat. You love rolling all around!

You have become a little talker! Sounds like you say things but maybe I'm jumping the gun a little, but my heavens, it sounds just like it :)

You are such a happy little girl and so content...ALWAYS! You just go with the flow.

I'm so thankful and BLESSED for my girls and I never imagined GOD would give me such a special gift as my girls.

I could say it a million times over, but I'm so thankful for my life.

Craziness, hectic, challenging, sometimes tough, unpredicted, amazing, lovely, wonderful, and blessed life.

I couldn't ask for anything more!

The Diet...WEEK 1

As I sit here typing this post, I'm eating a bowl of Special K and having a mini celebration!!!
I just returned from my weigh in/weekly meeting and I'm so proud of myself. I lost 4.4 pounds! May not sound like a TON of weight but its a HUGE deal to me!
I'm not gonna lie, it has been hard. I'm hoping since I've got a week behind me, I will start kicking the cravings. I really haven't "craved" anything, I guess you could say it's more of a temptation...that I normally give in to. But, I didn't this week!
I would have something and think, "Man, a soda sure would be good with this right now!" But I didn't.
I stayed on track, and I couldn't be happier. With that being said, I'm closer to my goal weight.
I'm so happy for my blog right now!
Here are my stats:
Age: 29
Height: 5-10
Starting Weight 2/19/2011: 211.4 LBS (YUCK)
Week One 2/26/2011: -4.4 LBS=207 LBS
If that doesn't give me the incentive, nothing will!
Happy Saturday :)
