Saturday

Well our day went ok. K refused to get her haircut and threw an enormous fit in the middle of the salon. O got her ears pierced and only cried for a couple minutes. K did not want to get hers done...until we got almost home then she decided she wanted "pretties" like her sister. AYE! Needless to say we did not turn back around. She will just have to wait.

K and I went for a short walk today. I wanted to go longer but K did not feel like being outside. So we went home. I think she and O are getting sick.

I ended up getting about 1/2 inch off my length. I just needed a trim. I also got some exercise pants and some shirts. The shirts were $1 each and the pants were $5. Not too shabby.

My parents took K and all of us to McDonalds. K had a blast in the playplace. She was playing with some little boys. She is such a bossy little thing too.

Anyway I am off for the rest of the day. I have a headache

TGIF

Tommorrow is the concert. I am so excited. I am going to see Montgomery Gentry. I love Troy Gentry. His voice....oh swoon!!!

For your viewing pleasure......

I don't know about you...but for me there is just something about a guy with a guitar and a great singing voice....O M G...

Good morning!!

All is well here. The concert is Saturday and I am pschyed!! Took the girls to a birthday party last night for a bit. They both had fun. hubby enjoyed his quiet time. We are going to take the girls to the Easter Bunny on Saturday. We are off to run errands today.

updates

Did my once a month shopping trip on Friday. I hired a sitter for the kids and I went. Walmart had an awesome clearance sale on kids clothes so I got K some shirts and a couple pairs of pants in the next 2 sizes. They had everything clearanced out for $1 each. I got O a couple things as well but not a lot because she has so many of K's outgrown clothes to wear. I went to the thrift store and go myself a pair of knit type pants with stripes on the sides for working out. I also got O a shirt and 2 pairs of pants from the 5 cent bin. I also got a bunch of other things we have been needing but did not have the extra money to get.

I am feeling better although I had another chest pain attack last night. It hurt so bad. I ended up taking 1 800mg ibuprofen and 1 vicodin. I slept well and felt better this morning.

I hope I can slowly work back into exercising by the end of this coming week. We will see how I feel first.

weekends off

I am starting a new phase of my weight loss. I am calling it "weekends off". During the week, I will continue to count calories and exercise but I am taking weekends off. If I feel like exercising fine, but I do not have to, most likely I still will because it has become such a big part of my routine. Because my stomach cannot hold as much food, I just watch myself and when I start to feel full, I quit eating. I have found that I tend to eat less most weekends, when I am not counting calories because I am not obsessing over food. So anyway I am trying it and seeing if it works out.

Weekends...

Weekends seem so much busier than the week. Probably because Hubby is home and most everyone I know if off from work. I think I like the weekdays better. They seem much more relaxed.

Today is my free day

I ate some chocolate I have been craving. I ate part of a cookie with K and we had pizza for lunch. I am hanging out with friends tonight so it was a good day for it to be my free day. I am going to have a couple beers if this headache goes away.

I love the weekends.

I love getting up with the kids, making breakfast for the family and just hanging out at home. I love the cozy feel of the house on the weekends. I love Hubby being home all day. I love that he helps out with the kids. I love that last night he helped me fold the laundry. I love weekends.

measurements and my check in day

I have always believed that measurements are a truer indicator of weight loss than the number on the scale. I took my measurements before I started dieting. I will measure myself again in 1 month to see where I am at there. I registered on spark people and entered that information.

My check-in day with Alli will be Fridays. I am going to check in this Friday. I do not expect to see results yet. I hope I do but I do not expect to. I will hope for 2 lbs by next Friday 12/21. I would prefer to not check in on Mondays because everything with us is up in the air on weekends. We have a usual routine but I don't usually get in a workout. We eat healthy still but hubby is home so he kind of messes up the routine. I like having him here but it is hard to do certain things with him home. I hate working out with him here because he watches me. I do NOT like being watched while I work out. That is why I never liked going to the gym. I doubt the people there are actually watching me but I feel awkward so I just don't go. Hubby likes to watch me workout but I am really uncomfortable with it. The computer is in the living room, where I work out as well, so it isn't like he can just go in the other room either.
