SAHM--8/3--8/9

thanks amy! she will be 9 on wed--i can hardly believe how the time is moving! thank goodness she still likes lots of hugs and kisses and snuggles. i'd be so sad if that part of my time as a mom was over.

the party was fun! it was at shark reef aquarium at mandalay bay. we had a tour with 2 ppl from the eductation dept and it was so thorough. i learned so much this time (i've been there many times but this was def. different).
the kids really enjoyed themselves and i think got a lot out of it. (btw, chocolate in goody bags in vegas in the summer=bad idea--melty--oops!).

i wound up eating the cake tonight. why do i do that??? i don't even care for cake. :grumble:

the dog has been super awesome today! BUT do i really have the energy to keep up this schedule? and do i really have any business giving time and effort to her when i still have 3 kids incl the 2.5y.o.

i wish i knew the RIGHT thing to do. all my choices seem crummy. i know i did an impulsive thing---now what???

sorry your day wasn't so great. i'd recommend that you drink as much water as you can tomorrow. and throw in an extra fruit and/or vege. that's what i'm gonna do.
to help flush out all the sugar junk and fill up on the good stuff.

off to bed---:flowerforyou:

i know it's a day early, but i'm working on my goals for this coming week.

#1 drink my water
#2 keep cals to 1400 (even w/exercise)
#3 no loose choc chips or candy bars
#4 get 4/day of fruit/vege

there's more i'd like to add, but i don't want to fail myself. so these will be my main focus this week.
And HOPEFULLY i will be down 2# by the end of the week. Not so unrealistic as i have FAR exceeded my cals each day lately, way over even maintenance cal level. :frown:

so here's to a good start of the day--walked the dog, will eat bf and have 2 glasses of water.

what are your plans today?? eating wise or otherwise :flowerforyou:

Finally have all of our wireless issues fixed at home so now I will be able to get on and use my laptop. Hubby is in IT so I was getting really miffed that I couldn't connect while in the kitchen, family room, etc with the kids.

Has been a rough weekend with eating and drinking, need to get back on track.

Stacey, I live in an area where there are lots of gyms...just have to decide which one....what am I willing to pay for...I would go to the gym where my FIL is a trainer but they don't have babysitting. I love working out with him, he knows how to get a great workout done in such a short pd of time and he pushes me.

We also have a puppy, well, she is 1 now and we have used a lot of the techniques that you see on the show Dog Whisperer and they really work. Our dog is part chesapeake retriever part something else. She still has some work to do but has become a good pet. Hang in there Stacey and happy bday to your oldest.

I have to run to get my hair colored (something I get to do alone) and then to a bday party for my niece's little girl.

thanks lettuceb!

alright girls, i was doing just fine till--the BROWNIES! now why do i buy the mix (so i can make sweet memories with/for my kids). why do i eat them?? b/c i like to sabotage myself. :grumble:

it's late and i'm off to bed. night all
