    this past weekend I was just about tired of all of it I almost lost my mind and told my wife that I was tired of having to count what i ate and tired of measuring but looked here and thought of all the work i put in to loose what I had and remembered reading something some one wrote about that it took just a few days to put on 5 lbs but two weeks to lose it and snapped myself back into the groove. plus we started catching up with Biggest looser and seeing them helped motivate me back into it.

    Good morning everyone. I am up and at it today. The hubby made me breakfast this morning and it was yummy. Now we are hanging out. He has PT today and when he goes I am getting a workout in. I did good on calories yesterday until I decided to bake a cake. I made an angel food cake with home made peanut butter frosting. It is the hubby's favorite. I also wrote WE <3 DADDY on it. He almost cried when he saw it. He is so excited about being a daddy. He is the sweetest husband ever. I am one lucky lady. Anywyas today is going to be a good day.

    I am glad that everyone is still hanging in here with us. Have a great day! I will check in again soon.

    He is just as lucky to have you.. I so miss you and I am glad you are enjoyign baking for him.. and you and little sprout!!! I am looking at recipes to bake my mom a healthy cake for her birthday that we are celebrating on super bowl.

    I plan ono getting up on sunday and running 8 miles beforewe head to moms house for super bowl!!

    That is great Don! We all get tired of measuring and weighing but like I have said before these are the tools that we use to fight our obesity. No different than a diabetic using a meter to test their blood sugar. My daughter is a diabetic and isulin dependant if she can stick herself all day long I can measure cheerios! :laugh:

    One thing for sure we can never give up the stakes are too high when it comes to obesity!
    Keep putting in work, we'll be here with you every step of the way! :wink:

    Good evening everyone! I have had a really good day. I napped for a few hours on and off and it was wonderful. The hubby made breakfast and dinner for us. I kind of skipped lunch because I was napping, but I ate a banana as soon as I woke up and then we had an early dinner. I even got in a bit of exercise today. I was under calories by 73. I do not want to necessarily lose weight, but I do want to keep my calories in check and have a healthy pregnancy.

    Tamara - Thanks for the comments. We are both very lucky to have each other. I sure do miss you too. The exercise did make me feel better. Tomorrow I am going to try to go longer. Next week I might even try to go to the fit for two pregnancy class at the gym.

    Amber - Thanks for calling me today. I am glad that you know you can call me anytime. I loved our talk. Keep up the great work. I am glad to hear that you are eating so well and that you have started working out at the gym. You are going to find what works for you and kick this weight loss in the butt. Miss you girl and we will talk again soon.

    Deneen - You did a drive by and we need more. I know you have a lot going on right now, but we are here for you anytime.

    Marcie - Hang in there with us lady. It will start falling off again. Take control and you can do this.

    Jena - I love your profile pic. Is that a picture from your wedding? I know your anniversary is coming up. I really hope you hit your mini goal by then. I have faith that you can and will.

    Rupi - I hope you are having a great week back at uni. Eat as healthy as you can.

    Jessica - Are you getting on the back everyday like you said? I know that scale will start moving soon.

    Karen - Are you having a better week?

    Nicole - How are you doing?

    Kerry - I really hope you show a loss this week.

    Don - Welcome to the post. You can totally do this. Keep it up.

    Welcome to all the new members and I am sorry for anyone that I missed. Good luck for weigh in on Friday. Have fun.

    Just stopping by quickly. I went to the doctor today after feeling terrible yesterday. I have strep, bronchitis, and an ear infection. I had a feeling I had strep and/or bronchitis, but was surprised by the ear infection.

    She gave me a steroid shot, so I'm already feeling a bit better. She said I must have a high tolerance to have been functioning somewhat normally with all this going on. I worked a 11.5 hour day on Tuesday for Literacy Night at my school. I felt like a zombie, so I'm not sure how functioning I was. lol It does feel good to be lying around today.

    The workers were here today finishing the replacement of our duct work. I laid on the couch the whole time. They work with my dh (he's the sales manager at the a/c company) so I've met both of them before. That made it a little more comfortable. So no more workers in my house for a while - yay! I'm taking tomorrow off so it's a full day of resting for me.

    I hope everyone is having a great week!

    Bobbie - thanks for asking about me!

    Hello All -
    Everyone is sound asleep and I am up working... :( Why the sad face, you ask? I ate 3 - count em - 3 whole cookies at freaking 1am in the morning!??!?! and right after I did - I thought why???? I am NOT hungry! And it can't even be boredom because I am up working for crying out loud... It's amazing how easily the bad habits come back... :(

    Well - my water intake is improving, the jumping jack thing....well, to be totally honest - I suck at it... :(

    I looked in the mirror this evening - really looked and was truly disgusted by what I saw. I say this not for empathy but just for the pure fact that I have got to WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! I am the ONLY person who can fix me...
    Anyway - enough... I really, really want to be where I was a month and a half ago. I was making good choices and really was feeling good about me. Has anyone else ever noticed how easy it is to just continue to spiral???? I eat a cookie, get mad cause I ate it, look in the mirror and see how fat i am and say "i've got to lose weight" and then eat something even worse for me. It's like I punish myself. Geez, I think a shrink could have a field day with me!!! :)

    Just a few notes -
    Karen - ick poo - that is NO FUN - hope you feel better soon
    Bobbie - Hello little Mama - You always make me smile = thanks! Ya know, if i would just keep logging in - That would help a TON! You guys keep me so motivated and focused.
    Jena - my little bundle of energy and happy thoughts. Thank you soooooo mch for the beautiful woman post... It made my heart happy - RIGHT BACK ATCHA!!! Looking forward to a walk someday soon... ;) Not real soon as we got about 3/4" of ice and 6 inches of snow in the last 3 days. No, "Snowmeggedon" didn't strike, but it is cold and miserable. It is currently negative 2 degrees here right now and that does NOT include windchill... ;(
    Tamara - Thank you for everything.
    Jessica - :)
    Rachel, Rupi, Don, et al - welcome and keep plugging away - don't EVEN read my posts - Follow the lead of Tamara, Jena, Bobbie - these ladies are the bombdiggity! They got their act together AND they know where they put it!
    Marcie - We need to get together and whine! :)
    Have a good one - see you tomorrow - in a better mood - PROMISE!
