Wow this week has been nuts! But so fun and exciting! Although I have been a little lazy with my Wii workouts, and only lost 0.4 pounds. I still feel great!
On Thursday my husband brought home a whole bunch of stuff his boss gave him because they are moving. A bigger better Tv, stereo and surround system, some small kitchen appliances and dishes, and this computer which is on loan for a few months. Yippee!
Then I'm putting things away and working on dinner, and husband tells me that his boss was talking and said he thought he might have us take his dog! I was like, seriously that would be awesome. Then husband said, he wasn't sure if boss was serious, but I could text him and see. So I did, he told me that if he couldn't find anyone to adopt her out to, he would love for us to take her. Wow! I thought it would be a couple three weeks before we found out for sure. Guess what? they are moving today! Husband is helping with moving stuff, and I get to play with the doggie! I'm so excited, if all goes well and we like each other (I've never met a dog that didn't like me, and vice versa) then she will come home with us. To our tiny one bedroom apartment. Oh, one tiny detail...She's a Rottweiler, about 7 or 8 years old, so no puppy, but still has lots of exercise and playing needs. It'll be great! Talk about motivation to get me out and active. I'm going to get her a frizbee, and some things we can throw around, and there is plenty of open space near and around our apartment, so no worries there.
Let's see, I'm also excited because next Sunday is my 24th birthday, and there is so much going on this week. Tomorrow my good friend is coming to visit, we try to get together every week. Tuesday I am spending the day with another friend helping her get ready for her Pampered chef party. And then sometime during the week my mother-in-law and her friend are taking my shopping (my mother-in-law is the best, she's awesome, i love her!). Saturday is my bro-in-laws 13th bday, so we're having a huge party, and Sunday will be a nice quiet fun day with husband. I have no idea what he is planning for us to do, it will probably involve a dinner I don't have to cook!
I am planning to be much more active this week, and I think I'm going to buy bottled water, that might help me drink more.
57 pounds out of 68.2 to go! That's 11.2 pounds lost in 9 weeks!

Oi
Last night was a long night, husband was not feeling well and decided he needed more space so he moved to the couch. Don't really get it, but oh well. So I could not sleep with him gone. I tried, believe me I tried. Finally around 4 am he came back and he asked me why I wasn't sleeping. I said I couldn't and he tried to explain. I think he felt a little bad about leaving me alone. Now he's done some extra work on the weekends, and I'm thinking we should look into buying a King sized bed, he's such a sprawler, and when his allergies are acting up his sprawling expands, as if that was even possible.
This morning though, he was really sweet when he got up and said I should rest some more. But of course he was up, and I was wide awake. So I got up for a few minutes and realized I was so tired there was no way I was staying up. He came back to bed and cuddled with me for awhile, now guess who is asleep? Not I!
A friend was going to pick me up for church today, which I was really looking forward to. But she just called and said she was having issues with her husband and wouldn't be able to make it. I said I understood, which of course I do. We've got a rain check for next week, hope it works out this time.
So I've discovered that I really do have to weigh In at exactly the same time every sunday. Usually I get out of bed around 10 am. This week I got up early and weighed, I was only down 0.6 pounds, I was kinda miffed because I worked so hard this week. After my nap I weighed again at the usual time and went down another 0.6, so I'm down 1.2 pounds and that's what I'm sticking with! thats 10.8 pounds in 8 weeks, with 57.4 pounds left to go! Wow that feels good, I can't wait for the next few weeks to see things get even better.
Oh, one other disappointment, the 90 day weightloss challenge has been cancelled. SAD, but I understand why. The woman who organized it started getting a bunch of emails from people backing out, and it hasn't even started. She decided that it would be more stress than it was worth if people were going to be half committed. And I completely agree, so I'm going to do my own, by myself. Which isn't nearly as exciting, but thats okay. Over the next couple of weeks I'll figure out my parameters, and what I want to achieve. And who knows maybe I can get some people to join in with me. Feel free!

All Smiles and Sunshine
This week has been great, I've exercised and eaten well. We had company over wednesday night, and I had a nice relaxing day yesterday with a friend.
Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel so completely content and happy, nothing can get to you? It doesn't matter the things that you want to do and don't have the money for, or the time. You know that you are right where you should be.
That's how I feel, I have the most perfect husband for me. He's not perfect, but he is exactly right for me. He's so completely part of me that I can't think of us seperately anymore, and I can't remember how I managed through life without him. He makes everything better, music, food, laying in bed talking. Even when he's not home I'm still better for having him.
As a girl, imagining what it would be like to fall in love and get married, I never imagined that I could love someone so much, so completely. That I could be so happy, and safe. He's always so supportive of everything I want, and what matters to me. He never tells me I can't do something, or make something happen. And he thinks I'm just about as perfect a woman as God ever created. Funny I don't quite see me the way he does, but I feel the same about him, and I'm sure he's just as confused as to why.
Of course we have our bad days, but a bad day looks something like this: Cody isn't feeling well so he is a bit snippy, and he sleeps for a few hours while I watch tv. When he wakes up he is starving, and a bit demanding. He apologises for any thing he might have said, and I do what I can to make him feel better. And then we likely don't cuddle to much when we go to bed.
At least that is what most bad days look like. Occasionally it's me thats all emotional and then he's really sweet and understanding. Even when I'm emotional for absolutely no reason at all.
I don't have everything I want, but then who does? Life is pretty awesome! And there might be some bumps along the way, but it's only going to get better and sweeter with time.

My Weigh-in/Mother's day
This should be a short post. I lost 0.8 pounds this week, not my aim. But a whole lot better than gaining. My total is 9.6 pounds lost is 7 weeks, it's slow going, but it is worth it. Of that I am definitely sure.
I checked out BMI's last night and decided to also track my BMI going down as I lose weight each week. Just one more way to see my progress. But I am met with a bit of a problem, I charted BMI by percentage of my goal lost (5%, 10%,15% and so on)
5% 209.79 (3.41 loss) BMI= 37.2/36.1 (because I am taller than 5"3', but not quite 5"4')
I charted like that all the way to 100% of my goal, 145 pounds. But my BMI at 145 was still 25.7/24.9 . The range for healthy weight is 24.9-18.5 I'm not really sure if I should adjust my goal or not. Another 5 pounds would put me safely in the healthy range. And my healthy range goes all the way to 110 pounds. I cannot imagine myself at that weight. My brain has a spaz attack and shuts off. Any thoughts on what I should adjust or do? My main motivation is to be healthy, so I definitely want to be within all guidelines. Not neccessarily way down at the bottom like 18.5BMI, but with a bit of a cushion would be nice, I would think.
So on to more important topics!
It's Mother's day! And even if my Mom doesn't read this I wanted to write a tribute to her.
She is amazing, both as a person, woman and mother. She's always doing for others, working hard and giving of herself. My Mom is loving and kind and compassionate, and strong and brilliantly smart. I love her with all my heart, and Miss her like crazy. I really wish I could be with her today. 3000 miles feels like a lot more today. My Mom has always helped me out when I was having a hard time, and always been there to listen or give advice, sometimes whether I wanted it or not, but always when I needed it. And like all good Mom's she knows things, we're connected as only Mother's and their Children can be. Even now when I'm so far away she seems to call just when I need to hear her voice the most. I couldn't have asked God for a better Mom, in fact I'm pretty sure that before I was born I went to him and said, I want to go to her. I want her to be my Mom, there's no one better for me!
I love you Mom!

90 day challenge!
So I'm in a facebook group called Fat Chance: weight watchers tail. I don't do weight watchers, but it is great support, and I learn lots of new info. And the group does weigh in's every week, which I have failed to actually do. But it is still awesome. Now the woman running the group, who is amazing, lost 60+ pounds already!!!, is planning a Lose Big 90 day challenge starting in june! I'm so excited.
I might not lose weight any faster, but it is one more way to stay connected, focused and motivated! That I am excited about. I really want to keep my focus, and so far it is a challenge to keep my exercise goals. I've mastered my eating pretty much, and my water drinking even. But the exercise is much harder. Even though I enjoy it, and I'm feeling stronger and have more energy, sometimes I just don't want to go to the effort.
This week I felt kind of crappy, it sucks to be a girl sometimes. But next week I'll be feeling much better, I hope, and I'll get cracking again. I think I might give the EA sports Active 30 day challenge a go. I've only done custom workouts so far, and they are good, but I think its time for a kick in the pants. And I think the both my EA active challenge, and then my 90 day challenge will be just what I need to get back up to my 2 pounds a week of loss. Don't get me wrong, any loss is good, but 1 pound is not nearly as satisfying as 2 pounds...or 3. But my aim is for 2, I want to stay in the healthy range.
Oh and I think I will also join the H2O challenge to help me stay motivated for my water drinking. Although I am now finding that instead of forcing myself to drink, I really want my water. I have to have it close at all times, I think thats a positive change!
Oh and in the Fat Chance group I have been made a FatChance support coach! That makes me excited. My being connected and reading posts and giving encouragement has been recognised. It definitely feels good.
And a big thanks to everyone that reads and comments, it means a lot to me!

Educating myself
Wow, so this week I did a ton of reading. I researched antioxidants, Dr. Oz's weightloss tips, unsaturated fats, and a few other things here and there. It felt so good to learn more, and find out that a lot of the choices I've been making food wise were really good for me. Oh and I love negative calorie foods, foods that are more difficult to digest so they burn more calories than they provide. They are fruits and vegetables. It's great, because those things you can really eat as much as you want of and not worry about it being bad or turning to fat.
So, I was...bad. I weighed this morning, I couldn't help myself. And so far I've got 0.8 pounds down this week. Not as much as I wanted, but considering I've been out of exercise with viscious cramps all week it's not so bad. But we'll see how Sunday turns out.
I've also been checking into Body wraps, apparently they help detoxify and process out fat cells. Sounds good to me but here's the catch, either really messy and slightly expensive, or easy and really expensive. That my friends, is a little depressing. But we'll see I just might go with the messy stuff and try it anyway.
See, I know by the scale that I am making progress, but I really don't feel like I look any different. That frustrates me to no end. But I'm sure that if I could see a picture of what I looked like a few weeks ago, or last summer when I was a whopping 222 pounds I would see a huge difference. But alas, it is difficult to take a full body picture of yourself. And Husband always forgets to take it for me, and I am tired of asking. I might just do the mirror, or wing it and get a bunch of bad pics until I get a decent one.
Some tips I did love though:
Visualise yourself at your goal, see yourself how you'll be and that you've already succeeded. Like pro athletes before a race.
Never eat dessert after dinner, eat it at lunch. Smaller meal means that all the calories won't be converted straight into fat. And enjoy a small amount of dark chocolate. Not too much sugar, and antioxidants! I am so doing that. About 1/4 the size of a regular chocolate bar as an afternoon snack.
Take progress pictures every week.
And eat as many brightly colored fruits and veggies as you want. (negative calorie foods mostly, and mostly antioxidants)
Oh and you can add sliced fruit to a pitcher of water in the fridge to make it more appetizing if the water thing is boring. I am trying it, starting with lemon and lime.
So I suppose I'm not all out of steam, even though it kind of feels like it right now. I think it's the holiday, missing my Mom on Mother's day weekend.

Wow, take a breath
Wow, this week was crazy. I walked to the post office 1.2 miles away, and mailed in the immigration forms so I can be a permanent resident, YAY! I'm so excited and relieved to have it done. Then I celebrated and walked to Cato and bought some cute sandals. Now I'll have to help Cody save money...meaning I'm going to have to budget our groceries and bills, and his video game buying. But I'm sure we can manage that, I'm just glad to have it done. The process is started now, and before I know it I'll be allowed to go find a job.
Also, it was Cody's 21st birthday this week, I did my best to make it special. We had dinner with his parents in a fairly southern way. Macaroni and cheese, chicken wings, chicken fingers, mashed potatoes, Shrimp I sauted, sweet rolls, and corn bread. And of course the infamous birthday cake...talk about bad for my weightloss goals. Oh I also gave Cody a new Wii game, and 4000 microsoft points for him to spend on his xbox live. Which he has done. His mom gave him a new cell phone, and his brother tossed in 20 dollars. Cody has spent his birthday money, not that I'm surprised.
Yesterday we got one of those dreaded phone calls. One of the apartments that Cody takes emergency calls from flooded. Turns out there were three apartments all sharing kitchen walls that are flooded. We called out Mr. Rooter to tell us what we needed to do, since Cody couldn't find the leak. They said...hmmm we can't find it either, call these other guys before we start tearing things out. In the process of their looking they pulled out the fridge to check an access panel. One tenants cat decided to explore inside the wall, then Cody put the access panel back, checked under the fridge for the cat and put it back too. The tenant was distraught about not being able to find her cat. We spent the next 40 minutes looking for cute little patches. Eventually Cody checked the access panel and coaxed a very scared patches out with some ham. The lady was very grateful.
This whole escapade made us an hour late for my 4 year old nephews birthday party. But we made it just in time for the food, watched them dig for dinosaur bones in some buckets of dirt, open presents, and eat cake. The big hit gift...Water guns. My husband and some of the little boys really got into it. The birthday boy was thrilled! Our gift was a soccer ball and soccer jersey.
After the festivities we had to rush back to Huntsville to get ready for Cody's party at the Mellow Mushroom. It's a very interesting pizza place. We were concerned because they don't take reservations and we figured we'd have 15 or so people coming. Like a responsible wife I called ahead and was told it would be an hour and a half wait from the time we arrived. Cody was a bit upset to say the least, and we nearly changed the restaurant. But since we'd told people 6pm and it was 5 already, we decided to stick it out. When we got there though the girl I had spoken to said she would see what she could do. We were seated in about 15 to 20 minutes. YAY! The meal was fantastic and we had a great turn out, we completely filled the tables, and Cody had a great time. I ordered a chicken caesar salad, amazing!
We came back to the apartment with Cody's younger brother, and a couple of friends and had a great time playing games on the wii and xbox. Cody did get a headache (no mountain dew yesterday) and went to bed around 11. I stayed up with his friend and brother playing games and talking until I decided to go to bed around 3am! Holy...Which of course made Cody wake up and go, wow I passed out. He went out to play, and rejoined me around 5 am. It was a great night, and a successful celebration of Cody's 21st. He thanked me for planning the whole thing, and I'm really excited it turned out so great.
My 24th birthday is this month...we'll see how that goes.
Okay so my update...I lost 1 pound! yay! Even with a small sampling of birthday cake twice this week I managed to lose. That brings me to a total of 8.8 pounds. Oh last week my 8.6 pounds was bad math, lol. Anyway that gives me 59.4 left to go. No more birthdays for 3 more weeks, should give me a head start. :) So far I'm feeling better, my clothes are starting to really look different, and I sleep better. I also did my EA active work out three times this week for around 40 each and burned around 240 calories each. Yay! Oh and I'm working on drinking enough water, thats a tough one, but I'll manage.
Overall, an eventful and good week.

Okay so my update...I lost 1 pound! yay! Even with a small sampling of birthday cake twice this week I managed to lose. That brings me to a total of 8.8 pounds. Oh last week my 8.6 pounds was bad math, lol. Anyway that gives me 59.4 left to go. No more birthdays for 3 more weeks, should give me a head start. :) So far I'm feeling better, my clothes are starting to really look different, and I sleep better. I also did my EA active work out three times this week for around 40 each and burned around 240 calories each. Yay! Oh and I'm working on drinking enough water, thats a tough one, but I'll manage.
Overall, an eventful and good week.
