My weight loss journey.

I went to my weigh in today and to my dismay, I've gained 1.5lbs ugh!! So this week I'm going to kick it in to high gear and attempt to lose 3lbs!! I need to get to the gym! This crappy weather is killing me. I've been able to get out on all of the really nice days but there have been so few of those that it really hasn't done anything for me. Arthur bought me a few work out Wii games so I'll have to start using them once we get the kiddos off to bed.

Sounds like something I would do. LOL

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a Cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?' 'Yes,' was his incredulous reply. She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.

Losing that baby weight!

I just gave birth to my 6th baby! After I had my 3rd, I lost all the baby weight plus some and I was so proud of myself. I worked hard, watched what I ate and made sure to vivit the gym a few times a week. The weight just fell off. I havn't really put a lot of effort into losing this weight yet. My baby boy will be 4 months old in just a few days and I also have an 18 month old. Having 2 babies back to back has done a number on my body! The summer is coming and I'm not looking forward to wearing shorts and tank tops with all this extra weight on. I have 60+ lbs to lose. I've joined a weight loss group called "My Mommy's a loser" and if I lose the most weight after 10 weeks I will win over $100 in gift cards. There is also a weekly prize for the person who loses the most weight that week. I would like to lose 20lbs by the end of my 10 weeks. Tomorrow will be week 2 and I'm sure I havn't lost any weight since I weighed in last week but we will see.

Yes I said SIX

I have 6 kids. I know I'm a bit of an oddity. I get a lot of shocked faces when I tell people. Some people ask if they are all mine, some ask if I have twins or triplets. Yes they are all mine and I have been pregnant and given birth 6 times. They were all single births! The question I get asked most is if I will be having any more to which my answer is a definite NO! I love my babies and would never trade them in for anything in the world. But they are a lot of work!! I sometimes find myself overwhelmed with housework, meal planning, keeping up with routines, kids activities, appointments etc. But I wouldn't change a thing!
