Time Flies!

Wow, ever since the kids started back at school the days are just flying by. I just realized it's been a long time since I've updated my blog.
So here goes my update...
I am down to 141 lbs, for a total lost of 76 lbs so far! WOOHOO! I'm wearing a size 10 and medium clothes. I'm feeling great.
I recently started taking iron supplements and upped my b12 to 5000 mcg a day. I'll have to wait until my next labs to see if my numbers are going back up. I'm feeling better though.

Another week

Tuesday I went for a job interview as a waitress at a local restraunt. I have a friend who works there and she said that the manager said they are going to hire me so I'm waiting anxiously for the phone call.
Yesterday was very stressful. Our electric was shut off since I couldn't pay it. I had to call my mom and ask for help, which I really really hate doing. But with 3 small kids in the house I didn't have much choice.
As of this past Monday I'm down to 152. I'm feeling more and more like my old self. The me I was before I gained all the weight.

Down another 2#

As of this past Monday I'm down to 153. WooHoo!!! It's been a long time since I've seen that number on a scale.
I've been pretty stressed out about money lately. I'm hoping to get a job waitressing at our local Perkins. I put in my application and I'm just waiting for a call. It wouldn't hurt my weight loss efforts either to be walking around for several hours while working.
Tonight my daughter is having a sleepover. It's 10pm and they are still awake. I'm hoping they pass out soon. I'm pretty tired myself and would like to go to bed soon.
This Sunday we're having a BBQ here with some of the girls from my Brownie troop. Should be fun.

Long Overdue Update

I've been very neglectful of my blog lately. I've been so busy with the house and kids that I just haven't even thought to take a minute and sit and write here.
The kids are out on summer vacation right now. They go back to school on Aug. 25. We've spent some time at the pool (going again today). This past week the older 2 went camping with my in-laws. It was quiet and peaceful here last week. Now already this morning all hell has broken loose.
I've been doing pretty good with my food, protein and vitamins. I've been eating mostly high protein and getting at least 1 protein drink a day. Some days I manage to get in the 2 that I'm supposed to have. I use a powdered multi-vit that I mix in my protein drink. I also take calcium citrate, vit d3, vit b12, and a hair skin and nail formula.
As of this morning I'm down to 155 (62# loss). I'm feeling great.

another monday

The weekends go by too quickly. It's already Monday again. {sigh} I'm down another 2# this week, YAY!
I've been pretty lazy the past few days and really need to get my butt going and start exercising. I know the weight would come off even faster then; not to mention it would help tone things. I'm getting kinda bored eating the same foods over and over. Right now I mostly eat chicken, chili made with ground beef and beans, refried beans, cheeses. The past few days I've been having tons of popcicles since it's been so hot out. I have to be better at drinking more water too.
One other good thing...the ferocious beast is about 95% potty trained. Now he's only wearing pull-ups at bedtime. He's doing really well too (knock on wood!) and hasn't had an accident if a few days.
That's about it for now...
