Katie-Again, sorry for the confusion, I was pretty tired the day I wrote that and then everything else going on just didn't help.....besides spell checker, they need like a clarification checker, lol.

Update on my mom-she did NOT have the surgery....got all the way to Chicago, they had her all prepped for surgery, and one of the surgery drs came in and said her UTI had not gone away, but got worse, so the surgery was canceled and after feeling embarrassed and humiliated, she has decided NOT to do the surgery, which I'm sad about. I'm hoping she'll decide later to do it...she did ask the drs though before leaving if it was an emergency that she have it done, and the dr said no. She could let it go, but better get it done sooner then later....and like I said, for now, she's decided not to have it.

Home-Thank you. I like my new picture too For the first time in years, I think I look pretty good too!

Just checking in with everyone. I am sooooo ready for school to start again. The kids are driving me NUTS!

Weightloss-wise, I've had a pretty good week/month. For the month and since I started MFP, I'm down 9 lbs. I had hoped to lose 11 by tomorrow, but I'm ecstatic at what I have accomplished in just over a month.

** Bluerose, what surgery was your Mom having? Sorry, I haven't been on here long.

I hope everyone is ready for a great New Year!

Kimmie-She was suppose to have heart surgery. First off, she has a blocked artery (5 years ago it was 50% blocked and they told her back then to do something about it, and she was scared of open heart surgery, her husband got her talked into it, but by the time she was going to get it taken care of, she was taken from work in an ambulance for the beginning stages of a stroke) and now its 98% blocked. Also, she has an aneurysm in her aorta, the drs said they would surgically work on it anything great then 4.5 cms and my mom's is 6 cms....but after having 3 cancellations, she's decided she was not meant to have it done and that this is her calling from God...I'm hoping she changes her mind.

This is how I"m bringing in my new year:

★My New Year’s promise: To keep those who are in my life & care about me for me & someone I’m not & to keep those who are no longer a part of me. They are in my past for a reason. ★ ♥My New Year’s resolutions: (1) To continue my fitness goals and eating healthier (2) To become better with our finances and be financially ready. ♥ ★Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011. I’m ready for a rocking New Year. ★

Just realized too, I didn't make my goal for the end of 2010, I gained 3.6 lbs (must have been from my over eating when I get overly stressed, since December was a pretty stressful month for me) Time to work off those extra pounds.... :grumble:

But, here's to a new year with new goals!!!! Cheers!:drinker:

Friday was my weigh in day, I was down 4 pound!!!!!!!!!!! 3 of it is weight i gained back over the holidays, but I haven't weighed this much in two years since getting pregnant with my daughter. I feel like its a new start for me, my goal this year is to log in my food. I always start off good, then we I eat something I shouldn't and I quit.
This is going to be a big year for us, we are in the process of buying our first home. Its a scary and exiciting time for us. Hope everyone has a good day.

Barb~Oh my goodness how scary is that! I hope that she changes her mind too! If she doesn't the only advice I could give you is turn to the Lord I guess that would even apply if she does. I know that he can help comfort you and help you get through any trial that you go through. :flowerforyou:

Stephanie~Way to go on the loss! I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks to afraid to. The last time I weighed I had gained back 3 pounds. I guess that is what I get for not logging my food consistently and not exercising. I am hoping to change that with a fresh start in a new year.

So yesterday I had a good cry over something that someone did that I never thought that they would do to me. Wish I could share more than that but I really can't. I talked to them and they admitted that they were in the wrong and the they were sorry. Still really hurt over it though and just wish that it could go away. On to better though we had fun with friends last night playing games until midnight and we allowed our 3 oldest to stay up and watch movies until the new year. Our 3rd oldest fell asleep Daddy tried to wake her up but she was so tired she didn't want to bang on the pots and pans like they planned. The 2 older went out there and banged a few times and then came back in. I think that they were afraid that they would get us in trouble with the police for making too much noise after 10 pm. :laugh: Got to love the way the kids think right?! Also think that I have a UTI so my goal that I think I need to focus on is getting enough water. I really have sucked at drinking water. I am lucky if I get in 1 glass. So instead of worrying too much about my eating I need to form the habit of drinking enough water and that will ultimately help me not eat a ton of food. Well got to get going need to get ready for the day we get the opportunity to clean our church building. Even though I am not one that loves to clean I love to clean the church it is such a great opportunity just really helps you feel closer to Him and feel His love for you and others. Hope you all are having a great 1st day of a New Year and a new you!

So is anyone making a new years resolution?
I never have before, always figured I would never keep it so why bother but I am thinking of maybe making one this year.
[/quote]
yes. this year i'm doing it differently. i am putting together a 101 goals in 1001 days list (got it from a website). i'm not doing it to the letter, cuz some of my things are lifetime goals--like visit the state of Oregon (hiya nicole!).
anyway, i'm giving it a try.

last year, i did a list of accomplishments. what did i do in 2009? i listed things from how many miles i walked to finishing x book. i got the idea from somewhere, and i really liked doing it.

so maybe do that for yourself--see how far you've come in a year's time.

welcome to the new ladies! i've been here a long time and can assure you this is a GREAT group of women.

why am i here so long--b/c i spent 2010 eating a lot of my tension and dropping exercise from the routine. my focus was on other things more than maintaining all the hard work. :ohwell:

but 2011--HERE I COME! i am much more motivated again and will push thru even when i'm not. and i'll keep tweaking homeschooling so that i have time to exercise and dd2 gets appropriate breaks. we WILL finish first grade--w/smiles. that is my plan!

happy new year! and to our best year ahead!:flowerforyou:

staceyw37

tomorrow i wil put in my real starting point. this is 2011 and i must undo the gain. i don't want to keep riding this roller coaster. this is so NOT me.

ok, just rambling. hope everyone has enjoyed our first weekend!

KatieM7

Stacey~Good idea! I will have to try to remember to weigh myself tomorrow morning. I always forget until after I have eaten. :grumble:

Well since I have made the goal of getting more water I have been able to get in 7 glasses up from only 1. I know I can get in even more than that but for now I am pleased that I have done that well. I do got to say that I have been using crystal light to get it in but hey I figure it is better than nothing right?!

SOOOOOO glad school starts back tomorrow!

First workout since having my son 2.5 weeks ago. It went well, 401 calories doing 45 minutes of cardio machines.
Not sure how often I'm making it to the gym with my husband being gone (military) and a 27 month old, 13 month old, and 2.5 week old lol.
