No Pain No Gain

Going alright

2011-09-04T11:45:00.002-04:00

So far so good. Did month one of p90x... kinda bored with it so just started to walk instead. Was doing atkins but got very discouraged after dropping 12 lbs the first 3 weeks then gaining 10 back (while still on the plan) during the 4th week. So then I switched over to weight watchers points plus. I have been successful with WW before so hopefully I will again. So far I have lost back almost all of the 10 lbs I had gained back.

Epic Fail... Restart coming soon

2011-01-20T15:13:00.002-05:00

Ok so my plan to do p90x started off great... then there was the problem of it taking me 2 hours to do the 1 hour because I had to keep stopping to take care of "little bit"... with the hours hubby was working between his reg job and then the biz... well the late summer was not the time to be starting that.

Fast forward... November time frame... hubby was finally down to the one job... so I could do my workout once he was home for the evening and he would take little bit and keep him entertained... it was much much nicer when the 1 hour workout actually took 1 hour except for the few occasions when little bit was not having a good day and wanted momma. So what happened... well my knee had started bugging me about a week before I started back on p90x.

Do I have knee problems... well none that I knew of... it just started hurting out of the blue... I wasn't gonna listen to my pesky knee so I went and got a brace to help me work through it... without it... there wasn't a chance... with it... it still hurt like crap but I still did it... then I just got lazy plain and simple... put it off one day... that turned into two... and that was that.

Now here we are... the holidays are over... and I'm still fat as ever. My little bit is now 1 year old and it is time to buckle down and get busy!

So... shortly... I will be starting back on my weight watchers... I won't be doing the new points plus program however I'll be sticking to my tried and true points (not even flex points but the one before that) ... why? Well on it when I was getting 20 points a day counting everything (ok ok well I wasn't counting everything because I didn't count my soda .. I know bad bad bad... but I lost weight...) and I know that most foods on the new plan are more points... but they give you a min of 29 points to use and then with the fruits and veggies being free... yeah I would just rather stick with what I know and what I know works.

Since it is warming up I plan to get little bit out in the stroller and put some miles under his wheels... that is the plan... I seem to have no trouble coming up with the plans lately.. but the execution is where I'm falling way short.

So I haven't decided exactly what day I will be restarting yet... I have to figure out my food menu and all too. But... I'll check in when I get that all figured out. All I know is I am soooo super sick of this weight. If the folks on the biggest loser can run... then by gosh I should be able to too... you get the picture!

p90x - Day 1

2010-09-07T00:01:00.003-04:00

So what is new? Well I had my third and final child as well as my third and final c-section 8 months ago... and I can't for the life of me get rid of the last few lbs of weight from the pregnancy so I can then get started on the extra I was packing before I got preggo. I get within 5lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight and I gain 5lbs back... lose it and then gain it back... it is really getting old. So I started P90X today. OMG it kicked my rump big time! No pain no gain right! I do have before pics that I will post when I have some results to show.

Starting weight is 167.0

Who knows!!!

2007-06-28T13:13:00.000-04:00

I know I haven't stopped by in a while... and I also haven't been doing my weigh in each week... I do plan to get back to it... sooner rather than later but just wanted to take a moment to drop by and leave a note to all of you the keep checking back for an update!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Weigh In

2007-05-17T10:01:00.000-04:00

Today's weigh in was 175.2

I don't have too much to say about it other than I'm not happy! I think I am fixing to buy an eliptical... maybe that will help.

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In BLEH!!!!

2007-04-26T19:40:00.000-04:00

Ok this is bad and I will just get straight to the point and get it over.... 174.6! BLEH!!!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In! UGH!

2007-04-19T10:03:00.000-04:00

So I finally remembered to weigh myself on weigh in day! I wish I had forgot! 172.6 ICK!!!

I am beginning to think this is a lost cause! Maybe I should start taking up a fund for lipo & tummy tuck! :P

Cubecan's Creations

hard time!

2007-04-15T16:53:00.000-04:00

Seems I can't remember to weigh in lately. This past week the kiddos were off on spring break so everything was a bit more crazy than normal. Hopefully I will remember to weigh in this Thursday although I am sure I won't be happy with what the results are!

Weigh in - Going Down

2007-03-22T10:21:00.000-04:00

Weigh in this morning went much better than I expected. 168.8 ... so down 2.8 lbs since when I weighed on monday when I started over on my diet again. So far so good!

Cubecan's Creations

Time to get serious!!

2007-03-20T18:18:00.000-04:00

Ok... it is time to get serious with this weight loss... i'm back to journaling my food... trying to drink water... cut down on the sodas... and exercising... weigh ins will still take place on thursdays as usual... walked for 45 minutes today...

Doctor's Scales

2007-03-13T19:19:00.000-04:00

Ok ... so I go to the doctor the other day. I don't like their scales even more than I care for mine. There scales lied big time... all 3 sets of them that I got on! HA HA!!! Seriously though... why is it that when I go to the doc their scale is always higher than mine at home but I know that mine at home are calibrated... when I pop a 10lb weight on them I get 10 lbs on the dial!

I told the guy that the scales were wrong then he went to check my bp... I told him that it was probably high after what the scales had to say! lol

Weigh In

2007-03-10T15:12:00.000-05:00

This week I did remember to weigh in I just haven't had time to post until today! Last week's weigh in was 167.6 so down just a bit which I was pleased to see. Hopefully I will remember to weigh in this Thursday as well!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In

2007-02-22T12:51:00.000-05:00

Well I remembered to weigh in this week... luckily the scale wasn't too horrible to me this time. 169.6 (which is where I was 2 weeks ago if I remember correctly) I figured it would be 175 or so by now!

I seriously don't get it... I don't pig out or anything... so why do I keep gaining weight!

Cubecan's Creations

another weigh in :(

2007-02-09T12:46:00.000-05:00

Well I have another weigh in that I am not thrilled with. Yet again I have gained weight instead of losing it. I haven't been eating like a pig so I don't get it. Anyway... 169.8 now. That just makes my stomach turn!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In - It gets worse!

2007-02-03T11:36:00.000-05:00

So weigh in on Thusday was 167.8 ... just when I was thinking it couldn't get much worse. *sigh* Oh well... just gotta get back on the wagon and keep going right!

Cubecan's Creations

I really hate my scales - Weigh In

2007-01-25T14:22:00.000-05:00

I really hate my scales with a passion. I forgot to weigh in last week but unfortunately I didn't forget today. If I would have had a hammer I would have smashed my scales this morning... 166.6 .... what in the world happened over the past 2 weeks? GEEZ!!!! Oh well... time to hop back on the band wagon right.

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In - Holding Steady!!!

2007-01-13T14:57:00.000-05:00

Weigh in for this week was 163.4 just holding steady for now I guess. That is better than gaining any day! I haven't really been keeping track of what I have been eating. I should really start doing that again because that is when I was seeing the most loss each week.

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh in - right direction at least

2007-01-04T18:58:00.000-05:00

So I did actually weigh in this morning like I was supposed to... 163.8 so at least it is heading in the right direction since the other day. Not much to say right now about the whole diet thing except I don't wanna be on one I'd much rather eat all the junk that I wanna eat but that would mean that I'd be bigger than the house and I am not having that. Guess I will just have to deal with the diet!

Have a great week everyone... see ya at next weigh in!

Cubecan's Creations

Gotta get back on the diet!!!

2006-12-31T16:02:00.000-05:00

I have to get back on my diet before I gain a zillion pounds back. I won't make it my New Year's resolution though because those often get dropped by the wayside! I will just have to say that I'm going to get back on there and stick to it. It should be easier now that the holidays are over and things have calmed down a bit. The kiddos will be going back to school soon and life will return to a more normal state.

I still haven't weighed in... I dread it so! I guess I will go right now and hop on the scales even though it won't be truely accurate since I have been up for quite a while and I have eaten already today. Hang on... the horrible weigh in amount will be back in a sec...

164.4 ... I must say that isn't nearly as bad as I had expected it to be. I figured I was up to 170 at least with the way I have been eating whatever and whenever lately. Official weigh-in will be on thursday as usual...

Happy New Year!

Cubecan's Creations

Still no weigh in

2006-12-28T15:34:00.000-05:00

Well, I have still not weighed in. I am not looking forward to it at all either. That is probably why I haven't bothered to do it. I guess I will have to make my New Year's resolution be to get back on track with my diet because I have definately fallen off the wagon big time.

Cubecan's Creations

Forgot to weigh in yesterday! Whoops!

2006-12-15T08:29:00.000-05:00

Well I totally forgot to weigh in yesterday so I will just wait until next week. I don't much care to see what the scales have to say right now anyway. I am sure that I have gained even more weight back because I haven't been very good with my food selection.

I watched the biggest loser finale the other night. I didn't really watch it this season but there wasn't anything else on the other night. They did really good this season. They are definitely a bit more motivated than I am at the moment!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh in -BLAH!!!!

2006-12-08T18:07:00.000-05:00

Not good... not good at all! Weigh in yesterday was 163.8! Dang It! I blame it all on Sonic!

Cubecan's Creations

ACK!!!!

2006-11-30T20:55:00.000-05:00

I now wish I hadn't gone back and looked. I thought I had only gained .2lbs but instead I gained 1 whole pound. UGH! Oh well, I haven't been the best when it comes to my food choices lately.

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh in

2006-11-30T20:51:00.000-05:00

Today's weigh in was 163.0. I think I am up .2lbs but I may not be remembering correctly so without going back and looking I dunno if it is up or down... i know it isn't up much if it is up... and given that it was the week of Thanksgiving and I had that shot of cortizone in my elbow I think I can live with it either way.

Take care all

Cubecan's Creations

Did you over do it?

2006-11-24T13:53:00.000-05:00

Just wondering how many folks over did it over the Thanksgiving Holiday? If you did don't beat yourself up about it. It is ok to go a bit overboard once in a while just make sure you don't make a habit of it. Get back on your diet and try to not over do it quite so much next month with all the Holiday dinners!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In - Turkey Day

2006-11-23T20:01:00.000-05:00

Good news! I'm down to 162.0 today. Didn't loose a great deal but it is better than gaining. Hopefully I didn't over do it today on Turkey day! I don't feel like I did but only time will tell right!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Weigh In - Better than I though

2006-11-16T09:39:00.001-05:00

Well today's weigh in was much better than I thought it would be. I had been worried because I had to get a shot of cortisone in my elbow on Tuesday of this past week and steroids can make you gain weight. So I was really not looking forward to this weeks weigh in at all. On top of the shot... I haven't exercised either. It seems I have a pinched nerve in my elbow and my hand is half numb and has been for over 6 weeks now. So after the shot the doc also has me wearing an elbow pad which makes it hard to bend my elbow. If this shot doesn't fix my problem though I will have to have surgery on my elbow to relive the pinched nerve. If that happens I'm liable to gain some weight for sure cause then I will be out of commission for a bit. Hopefully this shot will fix it because I really don't want surgery.

Anyway... the new weight is..........

162.3

Ya know that is the most that I have lost thus far in one week. Could I be so lucky as to have the steroids make me lose weight instead of gain? That would be sweet but I doubt that is the case. I have just been really busy this past week even without exercising. Between closing on our house and running back and forth to the doctors.

Weigh In - Slow and steady

2006-11-09T20:56:00.000-05:00

Today's weigh in was 163.6, so it is coming off very slowly but at least it is coming off instead of going on!

I've been super busy and not eating all that great so I am thankful that any has come off at all. Still can't help but wish it would come off a bit faster though.

Weigh In

2006-11-03T13:23:00.000-05:00

Yesterday's weigh in was 164.0, not quite as much as I would have liked to see but better than a gain that is for sure. I haven't really been exercising very much at all. I need to work on that!

Weigh in

2006-10-29T10:00:00.000-05:00

Sorry this is so late. It has been a very busy week. Weigh in last Thursday was 164.6 so I am down .08 lbs 2 weeks in a row now. Yesterday I spent the entire day working my butt off at Jane Wayne day! Who knows what this week will look like!

Weigh In

2006-10-19T13:00:00.000-04:00

Down just slightly... would have been more but we had pizza last night! So weigh in is 165.4 at least the scales didn't go up.

On track now...

2006-10-13T12:59:00.000-04:00

Well I am finally on the right track I think. I took my measurments today and started keeping track of everything that enters my mouth. Didn't get in a good workout yesterday but that was due to a lack of time. It was a very busy day. I did manage to sqeeze in just a bit of exercise during Grey's Anatomy last night though. A little is better than nothing.

Weigh In - Horrible

2006-10-12T10:15:00.000-04:00

Well of course once again I have gained instead of losing weight. But today I am getting serious about this. I have to... otherwise I have to go buy some bigger clothes! SOOOOOO.... today was 166.2

Ok... I have got to get serious!

2006-10-10T12:10:00.000-04:00

My diet has been going nowhere but the wrong way and fast. I have got to get more serious about this thing. I have got to start keeping track of my food. I have got to make myself exercise. If I don't I seriously doubt that I will ever lose any weight.

Weigh In - Evil Scales

2006-10-05T11:07:00.000-04:00

I knew I would pay for my actions from this past week when it came time for the scales. They were moving in the wrong direction this week. Up to 164.6 *sigh* This would be so much easier if I didn't like food so darn much! Hopefully next week will be better.

Burger and fries

2006-10-03T17:43:00.000-04:00

I am sure to pay on the scales this Thursday. Had a burger and fries for supper and I didn't even use the lean burger meat! YIKES! Oh well... can't take it back now... just have to move forward and do better next time! Supper had to be fast and easy today because I have a GS Leader meeting to go to tonight.

Brownies...

2006-10-02T10:01:00.000-04:00

My hubby made brownies last night... why I don't know because he didn't bother to eat a single one. Wish I could say the same for myself. It had been quite some time since I had brownies and I didn't limit myself to just one! *sigh* I wish hubby had not made them at all. I'm already dreading this week's weigh in. I'm sure it will not be very good.

Weight Loss Tips

2006-09-30T13:54:00.000-04:00

I thought I would post a few tips for weight loss (tips that I obviously haven't been following myself)

Drink a lot of water - yes it is very good for you... and it will help curb your appetite ... try drinking a glass of water when you feel hungry and before you eat a meal.

Get active - every little bit counts, take the stairs, park farther away in parking lots, do some crunches during commercials or heck do exercises the entire time you are watching TV.

Eat more fiber - it will make you feel fuller.

Don't sit down with the entire bag of chips - instead get 1 serving size out and put it in a baggie or on a plate. It will requite a bit of an effort to measure out the serving sizes but it is well worth it. It is simply too easy to eat more than you think.

If you are an emotional eater - try picking up the phone and calling someone instead of grabbing food. Same goes if you eat when you are bored.

Make goals that you can reach - it is much better to set a goal of 5 pounds than 50 pounds. So if you have a big goal such as 50 pounds make sure that you set some mini goals that you can reach sooner... maybe 10% mini goals.

Keep track of what you eat & drink - it is easy to forget about a bite here and a bite there. If you write down everything that goes into your mouth you will have a better idea of what you really ate as well as things you can change.

Don't eat after 7pm - so that your body has time to burn those calories before you go to bed.

Eat breakfast - (this is a killer for me... I am not a breakfast person or a morning person for that matter!) - it doesn't have to be much... a piece of toast... a yogurt... just something to let your body know.... hey she is gonna feed me today I don't need to hang onto this to have energy later. It will keep your metabolism from slowing down.

Sweet Freaks - try keeping fat free cool whip around (I use this to top cakes with and add some fresh fruit as well) If you start craving sweets try getting a spoon of whip cream.

Also... use applesauce to make your cakes it really cuts the fat and I think makes the cake more moist than when using oil.

Use low-fat or no fat versions of the basics - cheese, cottage cheese, mayo, milk, chips, sour cream - it will pay off.

Try to use low fat burger meet it is more expensive than the fattier versions but if you are on a diet you should be using the 97% lean meet if you can.

Strain and then Rinse your burger meat before you finish mixing it with other ingredients.

Try turkey instead of beef.

Eat white meat chicken - dark meat has much more fat!

Eat your veggies!!!

Measure out the serving size and put your meal on your plate then do not go back for 2nd's.

If you fall off the wagon - chase it down & get back on! You can't give up. We all fall off the wagon!

If you do go out to eat and get a huge plate of food - try getting a carry out plate right away and putting half the meal in there.

Eat small meals - it is better to eat 6 small meals a day than 3 normal meals a day.

Don't deny yourself something that you are craving - if you do it will just get worse and if you are like me you will find yourself eating a ton of other stuff as a substitute to what I really want. So if you have a craving for say a piece of cake, then cut yourself a small piece of cake... the key here is portion size.

Take your measurements weekly or monthly - that way if you do a weigh in and the scale doesn't budge even though you have worked your butt off or worse yet the scale went up... you may find that yeah you gained a pound but it was muscle because you lost 3 inches. If you don't want to see the measurement numbers you can just cut yarn for each of the area's that you are going to measure and label each one... as you loose weight you will have extra yarn left over!

Bread - ok I really have to have my white bread but try WhiteWheat - it tastes like white bread but has all the goodness of whole wheat bread!

If you get midnight cravings for food - first try to make yourself wait for at least 30 minutes before you get yourself a midnight snack... I've made myself go to bed many time thinking that I was really hungry... I was asleep before I knew it and wasn't even hungry when I woke up the next morning.

Do not exercise too close to bedtime. It is much better to exercise in the morning when you first get up than to do it 30 minutes before bedtime! You should allow yourself 3 hrs between exercise and bedtime so that you don't wind up sitting there wide awake!

Most important - Don't give up on yourself! Keep trying!

Weigh In - Finally

2006-09-28T15:23:00.000-04:00

Well... I weighed in this morning and the scale was finally nice to me. Finally there was a loss instead of a gain! Lost almost 2 lbs this week!

Sitting at 163.8 now!!!

Starving Marvin

2006-09-27T10:21:00.000-04:00

Seems this morning I am just starving. I don't usually have breakfast ( I know that isn't good but, I am just not a big breakfast person) ... I did have breakfast this morning but, I'm still starving.

So I decided to try to make myself wait a bit and I'm writing this entry to help distract myself. It isn't working too well though.

Yesterday I walked about a mile... not very fast though because the kiddos were with me.

I guess I will go do some girl scout stuff and then have lunch.

Weign In

2006-09-23T20:06:00.000-04:00

Ok... this week wasn't quite so bad I guess. I was 165.5 this week. Didn't gain anything at least! That is a plus. I am trying to do a bit better with my food choices... sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.

Just to be sure

2006-09-19T13:54:00.000-04:00

Well, yesterday I went to the doc to get a shot and while I was there I decided to have a little chat with her about all the weight I seem to be gaining in such a short period of time. Long story short she is gonna check my thyroid to make sure it is ok. At least that would explain why I've been gaining weight just from looking at food! *laugh*

In the meantime I plan to go to the grocery store tomorrow and get lots of low fat food and really get serious about this weightloss.

Weigh In

2006-09-14T13:28:00.000-04:00

Welp... Weigh in this morning was not good... 165.2 Seems I am just going the wrong way week after week. Maybe next week will be better. I shouldn't complain since I haven't been working out though.

missed weigh in

2006-09-09T20:45:00.000-04:00

Welp... I missed this past weeks weigh in ... I was super busy because we had to move AGAIN!!! No I'm not kidding... 3 weeks after we had just moved we moved again due to a plumbing problem with the washer drain in the house we were in. Talk about a pain!!! We were 99% done unpacking when we were told... "don't unpack anything else because yall are probably going to have to move"

So needless to say I have been super busy repeating everything that I had done for the 3 weeks prior... unpacking... changing the addy with the bank and other bills... fun fun fun!!!

I must say that I have not been very good though... I haven't been back to the gym since that day that hubby and I went. I've been eating like a pig. Everything has just been way too crazy. I am hoping that things will calm down now.

I'll write again soon!

Weigh In

2006-08-25T10:18:00.000-04:00

Ok... We have finally moved... still unpacking but I am now back on the diet. Weigh in yesterday was 160.2 .... YIKES!! Although I must admit it is down a bit from when we were in the middle of the move... eating fast food 2 times a day for 2 weeks was not good. I was up to 163.2

Yesterday hubby and I hit the fitness center .... did 30 min of cardio then some weight training.

I will post more when I get a chance.

Weigh In

2006-08-03T14:18:00.000-04:00

Ok... news with this week's weigh in. I'm holding steady... same as last week. I will not weigh in next week due to the move. But should be back the next Thursday to weigh in. Then once I get things settled I will start posting more frequently.

Wrong way!!!

2006-08-01T07:32:00.000-04:00

Welp... I hit the scales yesterday. It wasn't pleasant at all! Up to 159 now. Definately moving in the wrong direction!!! Not too much longer until we move... about 4 more weeks until it will be all said and done... hopefully I will get back on track then if not before then. Boy did I pick a bad time to start this diet back!

Wrong way... weigh in

2006-07-25T12:19:00.000-04:00

Well... the scales are going in the wrong direction. Weigh in lt Thusday was 159. I probably picked the wrong time to start my diet back with this move ahead. My plan at the moment is to try to just maintain or at least NOT GAIN anymore weight until we get moved and then I will get really busy with the diet thing. The kids will be back in school as soon as we move so I will be able to hit the gym again. The problem there will just be making myself go to the gym. I wonder how far it will be from the new house;. Shouldn't be too far. Right now the gym is a 30 min drive from our house. I sure have to do something though because I can't keep gaining. I'm so disgusted with myself rightnow it isn't even funny.

Skipped Weigh In

2006-07-13T13:38:00.000-04:00

Well, today was supposed to be my weigh in but I have decided to skip it this week. I really don't want to see what the scales say. I know it isn't good. We have been so busy with the house that we have been eating out quite a bit. I should probably just say forget it until we get moved but I don't want to do that just yet.

Weigh In

2006-07-07T15:14:00.000-04:00

I almost forgot to weigh this week... I actually didn't realize that yesterday was Thursday. So anyway... wasn't a good week... I gained instead of loosing. 158.6

Busy, Busy

This house selling and moving is keeping me way busy lately. So my posts may be a bit slow for a bit. I have to finish getting the house ready to sell and pack up all of our stuff too. Hopefully I will be done within one week! ( I sure hope so anyway because I'm about wore out already.)

My gameplan

So how do I plan to go about this diet of mine. I plan to follow the old WW Point system, drink more water, and exercise.

Yesterday I only did a tiny bit of exercise... 50 crunches and no cardio at all. But I suppose that is better than nothing at all. Crunches and other tummy slimming things will be a big part of my exercises. I have to git rid of that pouch. I know that part will not be easy... especially after I've had 2 c-sections. But I do know that it is possible to get a flat stomach again after having a c-section so that is my goal!

Ready .. Set... Go!!!

Ok... today is the official start date of my diet. Can't say that I've gotten off to a good start today. Had to go to family day and they had BBQ, slaw, hush puppies, beans and corn on the cob. Although I probably sweated off a few pounds standing out in the hot humid air all day.

Anyway... official start weight this morning was 156.8
I haven't done my measurments but I will do those soon.

One last day

Well tomorrow I will start back on my diet. I better enjoy myself today! I'm really not looking forward to going back on my diet but I know I have got to do it. Either that or accept being a fat cow and since I am not going to accept that I am a fat cow then I have no choice.

If I can lay off my soda that would be a great help. And of course if I can make myself drink the water that I should be drinking. Packing up the house may be the only exercise that I get until the kids are back in school. But it looks like as soon as we get moved the kids will start school immediately and then I have to unpack the house of course.

Countdown to the start

Ok... so my start date for my diet will be this Thursday the 29th of July. Why a Thursday? Well that is just when the 1st of the month fell when I first started my diet right after my husband had deployed to Iraq. So I have all of my stuff set up to go from Thursday to Wed and I kinda like it that way because that way if I splurge on the weekend I still have a few days to get back on track before I have to weigh in.

So today I just got through eating a bite of my daughter's bday cake. I better enjoy it while I can right? Just 2 days until I have to start.

I dunno how well this will work... we are trying to pack up our house because we are supposed to move at some point. I know dieting during the move will be a nightmare. Hopefully it won't take too long to get things tore down and set back up when we move.

Introduction

Well... long story short... I have got to get rid of this fat!!! I am sick of it!

For a while i was doing good with my battle... my hubby went off to Iraq and when he came home he found his wife 35lbs lighter! I gained back 10 lbs during the few months that I had him home because I stopped working out and I actually had to cook again. Then he went on his 2nd trip to Iraq... my plan was to at least drop the 10lbs that I had gained back. Well no luck there. I not only didn't lose 10 lbs I gained about 4. So I kept saying ok I have to go back on my diet... but when! Well I got on the scales the other day and the answer is NOW!!! I about croaked when i read 158 on the scales. Still not up to where I was when hubby first went to Iraq but sheesh!

So I say to my husband... "why didn't you tell me I was getting fat again????"
He looks at me not knowing what to say. Well honestly I hadn't noticed how fat
I had gotten again. I knew that my clothes had started getting tight but I didn't know that I had gained 10lbs since he had came back home the 2nd time.

So before I am completely disgusted with myself and my weight... I better get busy trying to get this fat gone!
