Goals

I figure that I would blog about my goals and kind of goals that I set for myself. I have three different types of goals, Mini goals, small goals, and a overall goal.

My mini goals are a weekly goal. A goal that I set for myself every week and if I hit that goal I get to eat whatever I want Tuesday for supper as a award. Example this week my mini goal is to lose a pound and a half then I would have loss a whopping 15 pounds in total, and if I hit my goal I get to get I good old feed of fish and chips.

My small goals are goals with a cut off date,could be a month or two. My first small goal is to be below the 200s before Dave gets home for his hoildays which is on fathers day. I will probably reward myself if I hit this goal but I wont plan anything til am there. This small goal has been in the works since he lefted the end of April.

And my overall goal, is just that. A weight that I would be happy with. Which is for me 170, now with the height and everything my weight should be probably 125, 130 so why is my overall goal 170?? Because when I hit 170 that is when I will be ok with myself to start trying for another baby. I want to bebale to take cute baby belly pictures and show it off. I didnt feel like I could with my last.

Well they are my goals. I fine the mini goals REALLY help you get though the week.

I haven't lost has much as I thought, my NEW scales, yes I said NEW scales!!! yay best birthday ever, anyway they had me at 209 instead of 205. Which I took with a grain of salt but at least now I got a better scale. Now am at 207.7 and tomorrow I will let you know how I did. I stopped measuring because I couldn't keep up with that lol. I really don't think that I will make my end of June goal, which was to be below 200 by the time hubby comes home from overseas for his hltas. Anyway this is only a catch up post tomorrow I will post the regular weight in Tuesday!! Take care!

Mom Life

So this post isn't going to be about weight, food, or the scale, It's the story of my life has a Mom.

It started almost two years in May of 08, I just turned 23 and switich birth control. I knew I was pregnant right away, it is crazy how in tune you can be with your body. I knew weeks before I could test, so since I couldn't test what did I do...I Google! Dave and I were together 3 and a half years at the time engaged for a year and a half of that. Now something you should know we weren't trying for a baby. Yes, like any engaged couple we have talked about it and where we would like to be first before trying. I had it all planned (Dave just went along) I wanted to be 25 before trying for our first, then 28 for the second. Now we knew that noone is truely "Really" ready for a baby but, we would want to be at the place that we could save money and maybe a second car. Which by the way we were going it looked like everything was working out has plan. Til middle May

Mom just lefted from a trip up for my 23th birthday and first birthday away from family. I just started Weight watchers and life was good, Both of us had jobs, I LOVE my job and money was good. We had a two bedroom house, our cats and dog the perfect family. One day I started feeling off and I could SMELL everything, it wasn't fit I even had Dave change his wash because all of a sudden I could stand the smell of it. My boss even joked one day that maybe I was pregnant!! Now at this point I have already started to googling but when she said it, it HIT home. Could I actully be PREGNANT!! Life was great and I was on birth control....BIRTH CONTROL!!! and have been for over 3 years with not even a scare before. So how could this be.

So then I waited, waited to beable to test. Dave knew something was on my mind so I told him. So together we waiting and tested maybe 5 times before it was time too. Then my sister and her boyfriend came up for a week, the same week I could test!! So we stopped tested til they left. I loved having them up for the week, but couldn't really enjoyed it since I had a hugh "what if?" going around in my head. So finally the week ended and we went and got another box of tests. Then we waitied again for the longest min in our lives. Then I went in looked down and there it was the (+)sign.......

Weight in Tuesday :(

So I hate the scale!!! Apparently am up 2 pounds.Which I can't see happening!! Am hoping that once I have a good scale this wont happen because you never can really read the line scales. This week I had also started messuring, so I will be putting that on here too and add my messurement to this weekly weight in too. I look at it has atleast am still down 11 pounds over all, it just puts a downer on my june goal of being out of the 200s. So here it is

Starting weight:218
Goal by Nov:170
Last week:205
This week:207
Up 2 Pounds

upper right arm.......15 1/2inchs
upper left arm..........15inchs
bust.........................42 1/2inchs
hips..........................44 1/2inchs
upper right leg...........26inchs
upper left leg.............26inchs
waist by belly button...42 1/2inchs
calf left.......................17inchs
calf right.....................17inchs

So that is weight in Tusday for this week, A downer but still down 11 pounds overall!!
Hopefully this bad week will mean a better one next week!

Sad Day

Today was a hard day. Dave lefted for 7 mths, the only thing that keeps me together is that I got the better half of this deal. I feel so bad for Dave and can't image how hard it would be to leave my family for 7 months. I am so proud of him!!! And I know that Alice is too. I am so happy that I get to get away for this first month to be with family. And now that his gone I got more drive to lose this weight and be HOT for my soldier.

Tomorrow is weight in day and like I said yesturday I am scare. I feel no different from last week and today I am just feeling Blah. I know it is because Dave left BUT I feel like a big blah. Hopefully tomorrow I will go down that is all I want to go be down. It would lift my spirits So much.

This week comming up with my parents being here I got no clue if that will help me or ruin me. I think Help I hope for help because No fast food at all!! Except for my birthday dinner which will be saturday we are going to swiss chalet, which isnt that bad right?? Chicken is good. But leaving here and going back home with them is going to be the killer because of ALL the fast food back home that I LOVE and cant get here. But I just got to keep my head straight on.

Enough thinking for tonight.

New Pants!!

So we went out today, so that Dave could pick up a few last min things before he leaves us tomorrow for 7 months. And while we were out I did something that I havent done in what must been two years, I bought new pants!!! Something for summer since I plan to be out walking alot. I am so happy with myself! Because for two years, I wasnt happy with my weight enought to care how I look. Now knowing that I will stick with this plan I
care enought to be comfy with how I work out this summer.

Tuesday is weight in day, I got no clue what to except this week. I am actully scare to step on the scale. I feel no different this week so am hoping even for a couple of pounds downwards. Hopefully I will get a good scale for my birthday, that I will beable to read with no second question.

I am sad to say that Dave leaves tomorrow for 7 months :( It is going to be a very hard day since he doesnt leave til 5:30pm. So am going to get up and get my t zone done nice and early so we can spend the rest of the day together. It will be hard for me but I cant image what he will go thru leaving his 14 month old daughter. Yes he has left before but NEVER this long. Good thing is that he will be back the end of June!! I only got 5 days to myself til my parents gets here!! and then We are off to head back home til June. So these first couple of months for me will go by fast.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day :(

One of those Nights

Ever have one of those nights that you think your stomach is a black hole?? My god I feel like I could eat all night!! Ugh I want this night to be over because of it. I think my biggest mistake was that I had enough calories to have 4 cups of popcorn and still be within my allowed intake for the day. And the taste just MADE me more hungry so since I am getting close to my calories I decided to have 6 mini pickles which are only 1 calories each, just to get the taste out of my mouth and yes it worked, yet am STILL hungry. Cant wait for breakfast and my poach egg!!!

*****NEWS FLASH*****
I LOVE POACHED EGG!! I always have,since I first tried them 2 years ago. But I only had them when we went out to eat on saturdays morning while I was pregnant, at this cute little place down the road. I never tried to make them at home because the idea of putting a raw egg in boiling water scares me to no end. UNTIL my friend two mornings ago said she was doing poach eggs for her and her handsome son for breakfast!! MY JAW HITS THE FLOOR!! Who actully poaches egg at home in their kicthen?? I told her about my love for them and how they scares me, she laughs and told me how she does it and after one fail..... Sucess!! I had poached my first egg and again this morning!! So til I get sick of eating my wonderful, beautiful, poach beauties I am excitied!!

So I got my Aunt with me on my weight lost goal!! She is lucky enough to own a t zone which is great for when I go home!! I will be saving money and still doing my daily shake! Which is good to know seeing that I just booked a ticket home for a month in May. I am scare to go home for a month thinking that all the hard work into losing the 13 pounds I have already loss go down the drain. But hopefully if I keep seeing my june goal, which is to be under 200, I should keep with it. Plus I will have my Aunt to push me along.

Well bedtime THANK GOD no more craving!!!

Weight in day + illness = weight in day late

So that illness dear old Dave had Monday morning I got Monday night. So needless to say Monday was a LONG night and Tuesday we found out that Alice needed to go back on her puffers and on meds for a flu she was getting. So we were all sick this week, luckly Alice did not get what we had, which is great because I dont know of I could watch her go tho that we did.

So with all that was going on my first weight in day got move over a day, great way to start the first weight in. I had pick Tuesday to be my weight in day, after thinking alot about every day and which one would be best and after all that my first weight in was on a Wednesday. But it will be on Tuesdays for now on. ok so here it is:

Starting weight:218
Goal by Nov:170
Weight in:205

YAY!!! Down 5 pounds from last week AND is finally at my pre pregnancy weight!!!! Only took 14 and a half months!!! And down 13 pounds overall!!! So my next small goal is to be below 200 pounds by the end of June when Dave gets home for a holiday! Which is 6 pounds in two months hopefully I can do that, if not I will never get to my main goal by Nov. Hopefully I will get what I ask for, for my birthday a good scale, not one of those old stupid line ones which you cant see your weight unless you bend over and then you gain 5 pounds just for the bend. You know what ones am talking about.

On another note since I was sick I have been having this killer heartburn ugh!! I just want it to go away.

Hubby sick + Daugther cutting molars = FUN

This will be a FUN house today, Daugther Alice(not her real name) woke up at 5:30 due to pain cause from her molar STILL cutting thru, and to add to that fun, hubby(Dave) woke up dying with what can only be called having the stomach flu. On the good side Alice isnt so bad here today with her molars. Yesurday was bad for her, no change that the last two days were bad for her, all she wanted was to be up. Which for me was a dream come true, since when she started being able to move by herself I dont get much cuddle time.

So today might only be a counting calories day, no exercise. Which SUCKS because the weather seems to be confused, giving us a few days of great weather just to take it ALL away and give us rain and sometimes even snow, yes you saw that right SNOW in APRIL!!! So I havent been able to walk yesturday due to bad weather but did get out for t zone and today will be out since I cant leave Alice here with Dave. Apparently he shouldn't even touch her, which I dont want him to, I want him to spend all day upstairs in the room with his laptop. Hopefully to cut whatever he got off at him and not to spread it to all of us.

But Wait!!! I just came across the most greatest thing known to toddlers.....wait for it...wait for it...... NAPTIME!! So here is the plan, wait til nap time and tip toe out to atleast go t zoning, walk is still out due to weather and gym is out due to it beening the gym HA. Best part of this plan Dave wont need to tend to her since she will be in dreamland. Now hopefully Dave will be home from the Doctor before naptime so my idea can go ahead has plan.

Well am off to tend to a toddler who is lying on the floor talking to herself. I shall join her.

Weight in what day?

First am going to start off by saying that my laptop has been crap lately so ugh, probably wont be blogging much til it is fixed. Which sucks since I just got into it, but moving on. I need a day of the week in which I should step on this cold metal squre that, for most tends to turn their good mood on its ass. That is right am talking about the SCALE. Whoever created this thing should be taken out into the field... and well you know where am going with this. This is a hard choice I got seven days to pick from!! Until now I have just been weighing whenever I felt like it which meant I never really knew how I did in a week. Hmmm got some thinking to do.....

How am planning on losing weight is by mostly counting calories!! And that to thank the apple people for creating the I phone because this is where I got the app called "lose it". All you got to do is put in your weight and height, how much you want to weight and it tell you how many calories you can eat a day. It bases it on, for me anyway, to lose two pounds a week. OH and it also takes in your exercies into a fact. I fine it a GREAT help!!!

The exercies that am doing to lose the weight is walking and t zoning! Walking is just the best choice of exercies for me it is cheap and joyable for my little girl. T zoning on the other hand, is a whole body vibration machine that only takes 10 min. For me it is helping with my muffin top, dont know what a muffin top is.....it is extra skin left from pregnancy. I HATE IT love my toddler girl but WHY WHY did you leave me this..this Muffin top!!!! Anyway if you havent guess it I dislike having my muffin top. I fine that for toning the t zoning is great, muffin top almost done. But for losing actully fat not so great, while not within the month and a half that I have been using it. That is why I walk. I usually walks down to the place that I t zoned and back which takes me about an hour.
So that is my plan. Eat right and Exercise. And hopefully I will soon pick a day for weight in and will let you in on it. So stay tune for my first weigh in!!

My Goal

Welcome to my blog!!! This is the story of my life, a 25 year old miliary wife and mommy to a perfect beautiful 14 mth old girl. I have started this blog to clear my head to what is about to come and to get though it unharm (hopefully). Dear hubby will be leaving for 7 months at the end of this month, leaving me with a molar teething toddler all alone and away from all family and friends. Thankfully the great wonderful parents will be comming up for a week after he goes!! I guess no matter how old your child gets you never stops being parents.
Right now my goal and meaning for this blog is my weight loss goal. We are planning to start trying for baby number 2 when he gets back in Nov, plus I want to be smoking HOT when he sees me again. Going back to the plan I would like to be a beautiful 170 by the end of Nov. Which mean I will have to lose a CRAZY 40 pounds!! So if you did your math right you got it I am a stunning 210. Crazy I know, 40 pounds in 8 months!!! Which breaks down to 5 pounds a month, it dont sounds that bad, that way. So my way to get to my goal is by walking, counting calories, T-zoning (For all who dont know what that is I will get into that), and of course chasing a toddler around.
Ok so you guys might not be ALL that whip up about my weight loss blog but believe me it will be ALOT more. Parenting, life, love and hopfully soon pregnancy but that will all come in due time, but for any of the pregnancy post to come you will have to put up with my lame out weight lost blog, so stick it up people!!
More to come!
