Went to the dr

Found out I have an ear infection and a touch of the flu. The dr called it gasterointestinal virus...I was stumbling over myself to try to remember that and when I looked it up online it said the flu. Why can't they just say you have the flu go home and sleep. Instead the doc tried to give me two different medicines for the flu and an antibiotic for my ear. I will take the antibiotic but I will just try to relax with the flu bug.
We took some great pictures of the kids tonight thought I would share a picture of the little ones.

This is what I feel like I want to be doing all the time. If someone told me to get as much sleep as I could before the baby was born I probably didn't fully understand. I feel it now. Tyler is 6 months old this week but I am feeling so tired now.
I last 4 pounds this last week.... thats the first weight loss since Valentines day week. I am very glad and I hope I can do better on my weight loss.
I feel like I am trying to run as fast as I can up an escalator and I am not going anywhere. I don't usually write when I am having a hard time for fear of regretting what I say will hurt someone else. No matter what I still love those around me and I want to be the best mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, aunt, niece and granddaughter... I am sure there is more but I am tired and I can't think of them right now.

So Tired

I have been so exhausted lately. I have tried to do different things to help me sleep better. My son is sleeping better than me. I do think that last night I slept better than I have in a long time but I am still tired.
On the other hand I have done awesome on my diet today. I haven't had this good a day in a long time.

Hello

What a great picture. I love my little family. This picture was taken a week before Easter and I just haven't had time to put it up. Tyler makes me look good in any picture.
We have had snow off and on this week and it has been very pretty to look at but I don't have the excitement I had when I was younger. I remember when I was little I would pray that it would magically snow over night and we would miss school. I still miss work when it snows but I am less interested in playing in it and going outside when its falling.
I lost a pound this week. Thats the first time in a few weeks the number went down. I do feel the need to lose weight but I think I have been Karl's cheerleader more than anything lately. There are a few girls at work who do the weight loss together, but I just haven't worked out like I used to.

Twenty pounds!!!!

I am so happy. I have lost 21 lbs since January. It doesn't feel like it yet but I know that my pants are alittle looser and my appetite is shrinking. Its alot easier for me this time, losing weight, but then I know how I cheated before so it also makes it harder. I need to completely cut out chocolate and soda but its alot harder than it seems.

Pictures like these where my son is so adorable and I look pregnant, are very frustrating. Hopefully I can get rid of that big belly and look half way decent again.

Day to day

My favorite soap opera is As the World Turns. I started watching it when I was working from 8- 5:30 and I had an hour and a half lunch so there was enough time to watch a whole soap when everyone else went back to work. I am spoiled now because my wonderful husband brought a TiVo into my life and it protect my little world of a soap opera so I can watch it when ever I want to. Just having the time to watch it is like.... oh I forgot so I watch five minutes here ten minutes there. The only time I really get to watch it is when I am folding laundry on Sunday afternoons and now I have to compete with Nascar....ggggrrrrrr...... Heavenly Father must love Nascar.

Lately I have been trying to find the motivation to wake up 15 minutes earlier to workout, but all thats come of it is sleeping in. I can't count sleeping as a workout can I?

Today I went with my co-workers and I got a free massage for 40 minutes.... Ohhh it was so nice!!! I almost fell asleep it was wonderful and sorta painful at the same time but I do feel so good.

Losing Weight

It has been so hard for me. Last week I lost 6 pounds and I was so excited. One rule of thumb is that when your "friend" comes over for a week you don't lose weight as much because of water weight gain. Well this week I only lost one pound. I also have the cravings of sweets and salty. It would be easy but I stop myself by buying snacks and leaving them at home and munching on them constantly. Days like to day where I am not at work, Tyler had a dr appointment, are REALLY hard because I eat more when I am bored. I have been VERY bored today and so I have probably killed my diet for the week.
The best thing that I can do is portion out in my head how many points I get throughout the morning, then how much I will allow myself for lunch. Mid afternoon is the worst and then I scrounge my points at night just to eat. I lost 50 pounds a few years ago, I know I can do it again I just have to retrain myself.
This little man is my inspiration!
