SAHM 4/12 - 4/18

not caught up on rdg yet---but lost wt!!

after waiting 2-3 days to go to the bathroom (tmi--but that's what too much fried matza does to you!)--i'm lighter. here's to going forward!!

oooh, very nice!
Had to have a little giggle at the Asian restaurant in the Jamaican resort!
Was it as huge as it looks?

Wow, shoveling rock for 2 days, and we didn't buy enough to finish, oh boy, its a great workout though, and front yard is coming along. I am feeling better, keeping on top of AF, drinking tons of water seems to be helping, sore throat went away, could have been allergies, just the normal cramps right now, and sluggish, but I'm trying to stay busy.

Nicole, Jamaica looked amazing, bummer you forgot your camera, I usually bring mine but hardly take pics, or I'm never in the pics because I take all of them. I'm glad you had such a great time, "adults only", this is what my husband & I need, we are thinking September we may try and get away.

Val, your doing such a great job staying under your goal, I have been really working on this, but I am getting better!

Great pic Trish!

Well busy weekend again, church Saturday morning, our just turned 4 y/o graduates into the next class at church, he's nervous, but he'll be going into his older sisters class, which will help, but coming out of his younger sister's class, he's not too happy about that. Then soccer game for dd2, then the rest of the day we are playing hooky from yard work, and playing with the kids the rest of the day, supposed to be in the 70ºs, YEAH!!!! Not sure what we will do yet, but hopefully something fun. Then maybe dinner out with just the adults for Saturday night, we try to do that a few times a month, keeps us sane, especially ME!

Have a great weekend, in case I don't check in tomorrow!

Stacey - LOL....loved the comment about how you lost weight. :P

Dolphin - I'm glad you're feeling better! I've been working extra hard at my eating habits since I go on a cruise in a week and will probably gain quite a bit there. :P But since I will probably never go on one again, I figure it's worth it!

Trish - she's probably in a growth spurt. It's amazing how drastically their appetite changes from week to week isn't it? One week they eat you out of house and home and the next week they eat almost nothing.

Did not have a chance to work out today, but luckily managed to barely squeak under my calorie goals for today. :P Tomorrow I'm hoping to start waging war on the back yard and that should start burning some more calories for me. I tend to drink more water when I work on the yard cause I wear a camelpack which makes it super easy to down lots of water. Had a decent day, got a lot of little things done, like filing all our bills and paperwork, sweeping the house, and chasing my 2 year old around. I had a blast! Have a great end to your week!

Valerie

Goals for tomorrow:

Cut up the dead branches in the back yard
vaccumm the carpets
drink lots and lots of water.

now i'm caught up on rdg posts.:)

kim, i'll bemopping today 2! glad youare finally feeling better.
trish--that's awesome.
i still wear 12's and 10's. you have really changed your life!! have fun at t-giving point. that's one of our fave places to visit in UT. i'm trying to figure out how to get there this summer--b4 our condo sells. will keep you posted....

dol-whew! that's a lot of work. don't envy you.
girls, it's still strange to me when i read abt everyone's massive yardwork. since i grew up in a condo, it was never a part of my life. and now we have all this rock.
BUT we are the weediest rock yard on teh block right now. i just want hubby to spray it all down. i have ZERO desire to pull them all.

goal today
workout
drink 50 oz water

gotta skedaddle--told boy i'd take him to the park.

I burned 650 calories and I was still over 600 calories. I have got to stop eating over the calories. I have a crying kid. I have to get him, it has been 20 minutes and the trips still share a room, i don't want 2 up! good night everyone.

....quiet on here....
congrats to nicole and melissa for losing more pounds!!

and sickies--hope you're recovering. and everyone else --where are YOU???
outside enjoying spring? never!!

we're gonna look at rental properties today.

Stacey- No worries, just out enjoying our sunshine as well. I've logged in all my food but I haven't gotten on here but to browse real quick then feel guilty so i head back outdoors LOL

Nicole-Good to see you back amazing job breaking your plateau!

Trish- hope your hand is doing better!

Hope everyone else is feeling better and having a great weekend!! We barely skated by dh was sick but the kids and I are fine!! WOOHOO first time ever he's gotten sick first and we were free and clear!
Off to enjoy the sunshine!

I am here too! All is well--I guess. No one is sick(awesome since we leave town Tuesday) but I am still fighting the sinus headache & stuff. Beginning to think it is allergies. I was outside ALL day yesterday! Love the weather. I am inside today printing my baby's(he's 18) graduation announcements. 4 weeks from yesterday so I gotta get them in the mail tomorrow!

Hope all are well!

Kim

Definitely been quite on here. It seems to go in rushes. :P

Kim - That's totally how I feel! It made yard work so much less of a chore when I thought of all the calories I was burning. lol

Nicole - glad too see the r and r worked and your body responded! Yay!

I didn't get to log on yesterday due to another migraine headache. I've gotten a lot of them the past few weeks but we think we may have discovered the culprit.....my glasses! They are pretty old and the nose pieces are almost non-existent. Wore my contacts today and so far no headache. I'll just keep praying we finally found the problem! :P

However, I have lost about 3-4 pounds so I was pretty stoked about that one!!!! That is with AF visiting and all! My goal was to get under 110 before I left for vacation and I did it a week early! Woohoo!

I leave for my cruise in a week! I'm so excited! I doubt this will help me lose weight, but since I won't go on another one for years to come I'm not going to waste my vacation or stress about my weight. If I have to lose it all again when I'm done then so be it. lol! I just want to relax and truly enjoy myself!

Tomorrow I get my blood drawn to test my cholesterol, thyroid and some other things. First visit to a regular doc in a while so they want to run a few tests. I had high cholesterol several years ago (back before I had kids and ate whatever junk I wanted to) but my doc just wanted to put me on meds without even trying to modify my levels through diet. I never went back to him but never found a new doc. I did modify my diet quite a bit so I'm tempted to see what my levels are like now.After that, we tackle the backyard and try to wrangle in the weeds and bushes that have gone crazy back there! Should burn a lot of calories for me! :P Then hubby and I get a much needed date! Yay for grandma coming to watch the kiddos! :P Have a great week all!
