Day. 44 Another great week.....i think i can do this...

I am so sorry you all if I have let anyone down....things have been really busy and crazy around here and I have not been taking the time blog these past two weeks...i fell off the blogging band wagon....but have not fell off the losing weight wagon! It's day 44 and i have lost a total of 12lbs...and really has has not been as hard as i thought it would be...! Don't get me wrong....because when I am super busy running around all the time...i pass taco time and get the urge to go..instead I have been stopping and getting coffee...and will eat a healthy 400-500 calorie sandwich from Starbucks..! I really can't believe how fast time flys....I wish I would have started this long ago...it hasn't been as hard to say no....and i have been enjoying myself...going to parties and what not..and still eating what they have ...and even dessert...but I am not stuffing myself to the max...just portion control...and drinking lots of water. now for exercise....I am sad to report I have not exercised in two weeks....oooo this makes me sad. I really need to get my butt in gear and get to the gym or something! thinking I could have lost just a little more by now if I were working out ..and June is going to be here before you know it! Signing off...promise I will try to write more than 3 times a week!

last sunday's picture of scale.....2.5 pound loss!

Sorry ..things have been busy around here...this is last sunday's scale pic! still losing...

day 29. Go figure...!

OK...so finally ...this is what I am talking about....2lb loss this week!!!!!! yahoo! I haven't been writing all week...but need to tell you that is wasn't my best. First of all...I was at target ...decided to get E his mini hot dog..when they decided to put out the new ..warm..fresh chocolate chip cookies out. mmmmm..pms..warm cookies..had to do it. So got home ...ate it..and man did I pay...I had the stomach grumbles for at least 2 hrs...way too much sugar...it actually wasn't that great. With that being said....attended two parties with great munchies too..but didn't over indulge...still enjoyed myself...so i think wow..2 lbs for the week i have had! I also only made it to the gym once this last week....something i have GOT to work on...! For the "normal days" Eating is going strong...i just can't say enough how much i have felt a difference with no fast food and soda..! tomorrow will be 30 days! I don't even miss it a tad:)

Well..i am tuckered out...will post measurements tomorrow..hubby didn't get home until late this morning and i had to run out as soon as he got here!

Day 22. D day.......reporting good news

OK...so d day...my weekly weigh in and measurements.......I was really dreading this because my lovely friend PMS is here.....(sorry guys..tmi) So headed up too the scale...and holy crap! Lost 2 lbs this weeks ..probably a little more considering I am as bloated as the good year blimp. YIPEEEEEEE finally! I even took a picture to prove...which I just might do every d day! Here go the measurements:

comparing week one to now

Arms 14 inches 12.75 inches -1.25
chest 43.50 inches 41.25 inches 2.25
belly 42.25 inches 42.50 inches +.25 (guessing this is just PMS bloating
hips 45.25 inches 44.50 inches 0.75
thighs 26.25 inches 26.00 inches -.25
calves 15.75 inches 15.50 inches -.25


again...eating is second nature right now....I am loving that the whole family has been eating well and for the first time when we stock our fridge with veggies and fruit they are getting eaten up and not wasted! I just read a good quote " if it doesn't grow in the ground don't eat it" ...again...i am following this most of the time...however we brought pizza to my best friends house last night..mind you papa murphy's....so I had to look up the nutritional menu..and really wasn't that bad...and I actually do prefer the delight pizza's over the loaded stuff. If I have been out I have been eating subway or in the case of the pizza just eating a normal portion..feeling great.

Now onto the motivating news .....so we started a rumph family tradition a few years ago..my in laws have some places in Hawaii and were bought for the intention of us having family vacations together( yes...we are spoiled) first year we went Ethan was 1 yr...so yes..weight...not so happy to be frolicking in a bathing suit..but still doesn't stop me from having fun....second year... was running all summer ..felt great....but not a normal weight by any means.....my father in law sent me some pictures the other day and BARFFFF ...omg..if that isn't motivation..what is! So we have not gone in two years ...and this year My in laws bought our tickets for our Christmas present! Yes..again..I know you are all jealous..we are really spoiled!(thanks mom and dad) So really just another reason I will be powering on....oh it's going to be even better this year...we can't wait!

ok..nuff said....it's going to be a great day...

Day .....eating still going strong......

oy....i can't believe it's been so long since I have written! Things are still going great! I am in shock...(i know i say this alot...)haven't had fast food or any other drink other than water and coffee...in almost 3 weeks! That is huge for me. I am feeling good...again..still disappointed at not getting to the gym...i would be giving excuses if I said I was just too busy...but busy doing what..other busy stuff that is more important than my health...no...i just have not gone..grr! I have a serious problem in which when I want to learn something I have to learn everything about it in a day...! Which some of you know I bought myself a really nice camera for Christmas....and am really loving photography...took shoot camp last weekend...and now I just want to learn!....Editing is so much hard than it looks...i guess practicing i will get better...downside..i just want to do it all day and night..and have been going to bed at 3am for the past couple of nights..not good.

Had a doctor's appointment today....going to test some levels on my hormones..they are all out of whack..don't know if it's my thyroid or just out of whack and not back to normal since having boedy....Hopefully i will find out in the next few weeks!

Thanks to everyone that responded to the supplements..sorry I haven't written back to your emails..hoping to catch up this weekend!

Hopefully some poundage has dropped off this week...i know inch wise I am going great..all my close are loose.....especially above the waste. I am saying it once again...i have to work on working out on a daily basis.....it's hard to get into a routine with my hubby's sched. ...but did try out the daycare at the Y with boedy...all went well....now I really have no excuse. Maybe it's time to meet up at ruston for the 4 people that voted...lol...ps...I am drooling over the bob stroller again....talked myself out of it...but now it might not be such a bad investment...i am dying to get running this summer!

day 15. oops!

this is week two...thought I should do the measurements differently...how many inches lost since week one:


inches lost in two weeks inches

chest -2.25
arm -1.25
belly -1.50
hips -0
thigh -0
calve -.25

Day. 15 MIA...Results are in!

I can't believe I haven't posted in two days! I have been on the go since Friday morning! Got the call From Ashley's sister that the new baby was coming Friday morning.... He was born Friday at 3:22 pm 9lbs and 21 inches long! he couldn't be more perfect! Congrats Josh and Ashley for bringing sweet baby boy Wyatt Adler Wainscott into the world!


Time for weigh in and measurements! So weighed myself this morning.... 192.5 ...trying not to think about the number...because I really do feel great. I really feel like I have lost inches...less bloated..clothes feel better...so that's a plus!


week one

Arms 14 inches 13 inches -1.0
chest 43.50 inches 41.25 inches 2.25
belly 42.25 inches 41.50 inches -.75
hips 45.25 inches 45.25 inches 0.0
thighs 26.25 inches 26.25 inches +.25
calves 15.75 inches 15.75 inches -0

So I might recommend doing a blog to everyone who might be trying to lose weight..lol...it really does work! I went to Red Robin with my best friends sister on Friday...anticipating the arrival of the baby...and she had ordered an appetizer...cheese sticks. I stared at them contemplating only one..one wouldn't be bad right??? but the fact that I haven't eaten any fried food in two weeks...I just couldn't break it....because I know I would have to write about it here....my will power is getting strong!

FYI- just an interesting fact...read the menu at red robin to pick the healthiest thing on the menu with not going over 600 calories or so.....I was shocked! Did you know the onion ring appetizer is 2000 calories? As well as the appetizer chicken nachos? Almost everything was close too or over 1000 calories....!

Haven't been to the gym in two days...dying to go back today!
