Ok, so now that things are finally starting to get back to normal I am back on program!  Since we are buying a home we won’t be able to afford me going to Weight Watchers (at least for right now), so I am going to go it alone . . . so this means that I will be on here A LOT!  :o)  Our new house has a swimming pool!!!  So this means that I have a really good goal to work for. . . bathing suit season is right around the corner!!  :o) 

Ok, So I am having a really hard time staying on program (weight watchers).  I don’t know what my problem is lately.  I have been STUCK at 219 for a month now . . . last week I was soooo excited to get down to 216, but since then I gained 3 pounds and I am back up to 219!  It’s ticking me off!!  There has been so much going on in my life right now (we are in the process of buying our first home), and I don’t want to give up losing weight.  I have been feeling 10000000% better since getting down to this size and I know that it will only get better with the more weight I lose, but for some reason it’s sooooo hard right now!!  GRRRRRR!!!  I just don’t know what to do to get me back on track! 

Ok, so since starting this weight loss journey I have been also been tracking my inches.  I was SHOCKED after adding my inches in after a few months of not doing it . . . . my total inches lost since starting weight watchers is . . . . 57.5!  I still can’t belive it!!  It’s so unreal!! 

Ok, so I had a terrible day today.  My hubby has to work all day and night (oh the joys of Navy life), and both the kids and I are sick.  Everyone was in a TERRIBLE mood.  I didn’t eat one thing that was “good” for me today.  I was so exhausted and I just didn’t feel like getting up and prepairing anything today.  I am praying that tomorrow will be a better day.  

with turkey bacon.  Since starting back on weight watchers I have vowed to try new foods and I am soooo excited that I openend my eyes to new things!!!  I tried turkey bacon for the first time this weekend . . . this stuff is AWESOME!!!  I LOVE IT!!!  I was shocked when I took my first bite . . . it tastes just like regular bacon!!

Ok, Ok . . . sorry I just had to share this new love in my life!  LOL 

So today after my Weight Watchers Meeting I decided that I needed a new “Goal” to work toward.  So today my family and I went shopping and I bought size 14 jeans.  I figure that would be a good goal to work toward.  Well once I got home I wanted my hubby to take pictures of how far I could get them up.  Well before I knew it I was in the jeans!!  They fit!!!  I was SHOCKED!!  I haven’t tried on new jeans in about a month, so I wasn’t sure what size I was even in, but . . . wow what a GREAT SUPRISE!!!  I just had to share!

WOOHOO!!  I am soooo excited!!!  My hubby suprised me with a late Christmas gift today . . . he bought me a treadmill!!!  Since it’s so hard for me to go to the gym with the kiddies (and with him being gone so much) he figured that it would be a perfect gift!  I am BEYOND excited!!!!  I LOVE IT!!  I just got off it and let me tell you I feel AWESOME, Exhausted but AWESOME!  Hee, Hee, Hee.  Anyhow, I just had to share!!!  WOOHOO!!!

First of all I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who gave me such great advice on my last blog . . . ya’ll really pulled me through!!!  I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!!  I met my goal of losing 40 lbs before my hubby gets home!!!  My hubby gets home within the week and I weighed in this morning!!!!  I just had to share my good news with everyone!!  Thank you again!!!  ((HUGS))

Ok, well my hubby left on deployment about 4 months ago . . . 2 weeks after him leaving I decided to join weight watchers again.  I started at 258lbs.  I have worked VERY hard to stay on program.  Well at this point I have lost 36lbs!!  I still have another few weeks before our big homecoming.  My goal is to 40lbs gone by the time he get home.  My hubby hasn’t seen any pictures of me since he left.  I am getting sooooo excited, BUT I have been finding it harder and harder to stay on program (weight watchers).  With moving from CA to VA (I went back to my parents house in CA while my hubby was gone) with two little kiddies by myself to getting settled in and now all the joys of the holidays.  I just don’t know what to do.  I just need something to motivate me.  When I got back to VA I was thinking that my friends might notice a change in my body with my ”new” weight loss, but no one said a word.  I was kinda counting on their suprise to help keep me motivated until my hubby comes home, but instead it’s made me feel like maybe I have been doing all of this for nothing.    I don’t know .  . . I KNOW that my body has changed.  I have gone from a size 20 to a size 16, but it’s still hard.  I just don’t want to blow all of my hard work . . .

My first week of Weight Watchers is OVER and I am actually down -6.0lbs!!!  I am sooooo excited!!  Anyhow, I just had to share my good news!!!
