I guess you are busy again. SHY I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.
Trying to get back on track after gaining the weight. down .8 lb. today. so now I'm still under 175 lbs. not near enough to 170 lbs. oh well. just have to keep trying.

What did you do with your family for Mother's Day?

yikes..... happy belated Mother's Day!!!!1
I've been so busy and I am quite busy today as well... I'll pop in later or tomorrow with a detailed post.

I just popped in to say that I weighed in at 149.5 lbs today!!!! Yay!!! Again!!! Let's hope that I can actually lose from this point on. I haven't been lower than 149.5 for two months... I think.

Congrats on the weight loss. I am so happy for you. I too lost a little bit. slow but steady. Now I hope I don't mess it up going out to dinner tonight with Hubby.... Didn't eat much all day. .not by choice i went to the college with my daughter & we got involved talking with her professor and lost track of time.

I can't wait to hear about your Adventures.....
down to 172.4 goal now is to get to 170 :)

Hey Zee!!!
I feel like I've finally settled down a bit today. I have no big things happening today. It's a rest day as far as driving everywhere and attending meetings and dropping and picking up kids from various functions.

Yesterday was insane! DD1 with her second music lesson... DD2 had a long meeting (and I was with her the whole time) and DS had his first soccer practice! Plus, I had to make lunch extra early so I stayed up late cooking chicken for their lunch this morning. DD2 is off on a fieldtrip two or three hours away. DS is gone on a school trip and will be back on Friday night. I started to pack with him last night at 9!!! I did a load of laundry and took out what he needed this morning! It was crazy but we did it all. Also DD2 had to be dropped off at school at 6:45am! I could barely get out of bed!
And... fyi..... I was out all day with doctor appointments and errands... all day! That's why I didn't get a chance to do laundry or start to pack for DS.
So... even though Its a rest day (lol... is there such a thing?) I'm busy with doing the rest of the laundry, cleaning up the stacks of dishes and loading and unloading the dishwasher, and vaccuming and dusting and putting away clutter and possible cleaning up the bathrooms......
Agh! What rest? It's more like a catch up day!
Oh... I also have to make dinner and plan what to make for Friday and Saturday as FIL is coming over to stay for those days... let's not even talk about the weekend OMG!!!
Somewhere I have to do grocery shopping. I don't know when but.....
I'm not sure what day FIl is coming... I asked DH to call him but he hasn't yet. I just want to know so I can plan accordingly.
I have to plant a tree that we bought yesterday. The weather is cool now, really cool and it's the perfect temperatures for tree planting. so I have to add that to my day as well!

So far I've managed to sort all the laundry into piles and put one load in. I've managed to stuff the dishwasher and it's already clean... now i have to empty it. LOL... the other dishes are still in the sink. I don't know when I'll wash those.

I forgot to mention that i have to take DD2 to a music lesson (her first) tonight so that takes a chunk of my time as well.

AAAGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
There just aren't enough hours in a day! Looks like I'm going to have to pick and choose what I do today and carry the rest over for tomorrow. But my morning is already busy.

Anyways... I was so excited to be down again and thought nothing would get in the way this time and I will lose more today. Yeah right. As usual.... I was so busy that I didn't eat right and my weight went up slightly. I think it was 150.5. I don't actually remember as I was running around with so much on my mind.

So, like you, I ended up gaining some weight because we were too busy to eat properly. See what happens when we do not eat what we should???
Lesson learned???? I sure learned it.... but I wasn't about to shove more food into me after I just ate supper at 9 at night!!!!

Gotta go... i'll catch up later.
Thanks for letting me vent to you :)

150.5 lbs.....
I was not on track and just ate whatever.... I'm not going to be on track until after the long weekend... Canada's official welcome to summer! I'm going to enjoy myself and not worry about food. I've got two meals out in a restaurant and one bbq to look forward to. The restaurant meals are both on the same day... one for lunch and one for dinner.

How are you doing.

lol... down one pound... the same pound...
I"m at 149.5 lbs. I wish I could get lower but, of course, here comes the long weekend and there is no way i"m going to be any lower. I'll have to wait until next week again.

It seems that I was at 147.5 at the end of March.... oh to be there again.

How are you doing?

Still with all the events you've been going to you are doing great with your weight... .Hop you are having fun. You'll get back to the 147.5 lbs. Are there any special events going on Canada's welcome to summer?

My daughter will be in Canada sometime tomorrow. She'll be in the airport for 4 - 6 hours. awaiting a flight to Cuba. it's a study abroad program for her College. I'm so excited for her.
I'm doing ok. gained a bit of weight. Otherwise things are moving along. .:).

I think you're right. I weighed in at 152.0 lbs this morning and that's really good considering that i wasn't really around all weekend and I was eating yummy food. It was my anniversary on Sunday and we went out for Morrocan food.... yummy. Then it was a celebration for my brother and SILs anniversary and also my Sister's and mom's bdays. Yes... everything happens in May for my family.

We had lots of yummy food with home cooked meals, restaurants, fast food and bbq's... you name it we had it.

How ironic that your daughter was at the airport the day after I was there. I was dropping off my in-laws to catch a flight to the States! That is so strange!
That was one of the things i had to do in this busy weekend.

The best part of the weekend (besides my anniversary) was setting off and watching the fireworks last night!

What is your daughter going to study in Cuba, of all places??? How lucky!

I'm back down to 150.0! Yippee!!! All that weight is gone...now to start again!
Oh... did I mention that I'm going to a wedding on Sunday? Yup... here we go again.

I guess I should be happy that I'm losing and maintaining my weight during the week and can enjoy myself on the weekend. I only wish that I was lower.

How are you doing? Did you manage to get rid of the extra weight you put on???

Happy Anniversary.. It' sounds like you had a great time. .You did very well with your weight. Daughter went with I think history class.. Not sure. She was in some honors classes and the professor asked her to join them in going to Poland. that was cancelled and so they went to Cuba instead. It's going to be interesting since this is the first US School trip to Cuba as far as I know. She's going to take some pictures. (she love photography, hobby)
You seem to be staying in a good place with your weight. You go up only a little bit then go down quite fast. So hopefully when all the partying stops you'll really lose some weight... .I know when things calm down you'll add in some exercise . before you know it you'll be at your goal weight :). It's great that you are able to enjoy all the fun and not feel deprived.. you have learned how to eat and enjoy while still losing ... Congrats.

I'm doing good.. Not sure about my weight... it's 171.6 lb. I can't seem to get lower right now.. Not to bad since I've been eating out ... Wonder what I'll weigh tomorrow.. I even had an alcoholic beverage today LOL Trying to walk but not as far as usual.. my back hasn't been the greatest. Otherwise. things are good.
It would have been funny if my daughter and you were in the airport at the same time on the same day... it really is a small world. Have a great week. Enjoy your wedding on Sunday.

Surprise I didn't gain any weight from eating out still 171.6 lbs.
I hope you are doing well.
I don't have my pedometer right now for almost 4 days.. it needs a new battery and I forgot to give it to hubby to put it in. I've asked him to get me a new one. Since, he asked me what I had wanted for Mother's day and I said I didn't know :) Now I know LOL

That's great that you didn't gain any weight!!! That's what you need to see right now and keep you motivated!
It's a crazy journey and it seems like you are enjoying it just as much as I am. You are eating out and not gaining much and then you lose it. That's the way it should be.... and it looks like we're both there. However, I know that you and I both want to be at a less weight right now and then maintaining. We'll get there.

I have exciting news. Last night before I went to bed I decided to shove in all the food I didn't consume throughout the day... I ended up drinking most of it LOL! I usually call it quits and think I'll do it the next day but my days are just getting busier. So last night I drank all my requirements and guess what??? I actually dropped 1/2 pound!!! This is just proof that I have to eat everything and from all food groups and the weight will come off... I know this but I can't seem to motivate myself... I don't know why.
Hopefully I have the motivation now. I haven't been this low for two months.

New weight: 149.0lbs

149.0 lbs
I'm taking this as good news... my body is adjusting to the new weight and is actually staying here. I haven't gained any weight nor have I lost it. It's a good thing.

I finally went to the gym last night with DD1 as she actually wants to go now. I looked at my history and realized that it has been just about one month since I went! Yikes.... so much for going almost everyday for a min of 30 minutes....
Mind you, I have been doing things like spring cleaning and maintaining the yard with cleaning flower beds and cutting the lawn. Today I plan on removing a tree and replacing it with a newer healthier one... with DH's help of course! I also plan on cutting the front lawn and cleaning up one more bed. The warm weather just sprang up on us and it caused the flowers and shrubs to blossom way before I was ready and it's become a bit of a challenge to clear up the winter debris. Of course, now the weather is quite seasonal.... as in it's a little chilly.

How are you doing? Have you heard from your daughter yet? How is she enjoying Cuba?

back up 0.5 lbs.... 149.5
I guess the chocolate bar and the late night snacking on nachos ddn't help! LOL

I've got a busy day. I'm going to finally plant the tree. I did the mowing of the grass yesterday evening and the front looks fantastic.

How are you doing?

Sorry I've not been around... Congrats on the 149.0 lbs. Don't worry you gained .5 lbs back.. our bodies fluctuate daily... I bet the next time you weigh it'll be back to 149. lbs.

Yes, I heard from my daughter she actually got a call threw from Cuba.. She misses us. Everything is expensive and she's having a grand time. she even got to post on Facebook that she's having a great time.
I'm at 171.4 lbs. it's slow going but trying hard. Haven't exercised much in a day maybe two. Today I almost couldn't get out of bed. My back is so bad. Maybe, if I move around It'll be better :).
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
