Didn't take long for me to totally F A I L. But, of course, I took a deep breath, shook it off, and I'm starting O V E R. This weight loss HAS to HAPPEN!!! I feel disgusting...repulsive, and downright GROSS. I'm not looking for compliments, or a pity-party...honest. It's just how I feel. I feel like I'm letting myself, my husband, and most of all, my children DOWN. It sucks! How am I supposed to be a good Mommy if I can't run and play with my girls? I also have Hypothyroid, and me sitting on my f(l)at ass doing nothing, is NOT helping one bit. I honestly think finding out that I had the disease caused me to mentally give up. I feel like all the work I put into weight loss will be in vain, and I will be trapped in this fat-suit for the rest of my life! I know that's not true...I know I really just have to work HARDER. I just don't want to. I want to curl up in a ball and cry. (Redonkulous...I know.) I am the Dictionary Definition of a WUSS. :P <div>To solve this "problem" I am having staying motivated, I'm joining Weight Watchers with my Mommy. (She's the best...) She totally doesn't need to go, can I just say! The woman is 61 (No, she doesn't care the I said that...) 5'1 and, like, maybe 120lbs? It's insane. She is healthier than I will ever be! I want to be JUST like my Mommy when I grow up! Such a true Proverbs 31 woman. (Grab a Bible, and read Proverbs 31 if you don't know what I'm talking about). Anyhoo. We start next week. Wednesday. I'm SUPER excited. I really think with her help, Weight Watcher's professional help, I can kick this weight to the curb, and REALLY make some lifestyle changes. I want the best for MYSELF, and for my family. This world is so full of JUNK, and I don't want ANY part of it! So friends...it's ON. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT and help me get my BUTT in gear!!! I don't want to fail again...I really don't. Oh yeah, if I don't blog every day, it's because I'm taking care of my 3 beautiful girls and I'm just too busy/tired. Orrrr, I could be elbow deep in poop, and macaroni and cheese...:P </div><div><br /></div><div>Until next time...thanks for reading! -Jamie</div>the blank bookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16776948971474333016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958224302915509686.post-37987852524136473602011-05-10T20:59:00.000-07:002011-05-10T21:02:55.214-07:00Day 9this is going to be the most boring blog ever.<div><br /></div><div>i haven't been working out. :( and my diet matches. ugh. seriously. </div><div><br /></div><div>got a new diet plan from a friend who is a personal trainer and i'm hoping that will help me bounce back starting tomorrow! planning a MASSIVE bike ride and a pretty decent run. </div><div><br /></div><div>got 2 new accountability partners, too! i'm really hoping we can help each other out!!! </div><div><br /></div><div>that's pretty much it. </div><div><br /></div><div>thanks for reading. -jamie</div>the blank bookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16776948971474333016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958224302915509686.post-29558898586175076182011-05-06T15:40:00.000-07:002011-05-06T15:44:32.628-07:00Day 4this day has been redonkulus. :P i haven't even been able to work out. all 3 of my children are being insane! i'm hoping to at least get in a short walk. i was really hoping to get at least 4 to 5 good days in a row. oh well i guess. i can start fresh next week. <div><br /></div><div>and i have to admit my flaws...i gave in a drank 2 jones sodas :( i regret the 2nd one. i don't feel like going cold turkey works for me...but i def didn't need to over do it! :P i will just work out an extra 15 minutes to make up for it. you can hold me to that! </div><div><br /></div><div>thanks for reading. -Jamie</div>the blank bookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16776948971474333016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958224302915509686.post-9731992124502407562011-05-05T15:52:00.000-07:002011-05-05T16:00:51.931-07:00Day 3So today was pretty much the same as yesterday...But it is H O T outside. I started to feel lightheaded and dizzy, and then felt like I was going to puke. :X But I kept going...I just made sure to drink lots of water when I got home.<div><br /></div><div>...I have to say it's pretty awkward walking/jogging/biking through my neighborhood! I guess no one on my block works, because EVERYONE is sitting outside and they stare at me as I pass by. I know they can hear me panting...and I'm sure seeing my fat butt jiggle in my leggings is a sight and a half... :P Oh well, one of these days I will pass by and nothing will be jiggling that they can see from their P.O.V.!!! :) That is the goal! I'm just a little concerned I won't be able to take the heat... Going to have to find something else to do or somewhere to work out. </div><div><br /></div><div>Well Josh has a graduation from a class he was taking with church tonight.

Yep...I bought a smaller size. Hoping it would motivate me. Yet, for whatever reason...I continued to sit on my ass and do nothing. I true fat girl! Hahaha. Anyway. Wedding aside...I really do want to lose 50lbs for MYSELF. I have always been small...but for the past 5 years I "let myself go"(and had 3 babies in the last 3 years) and well, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I know I can be small again. I am 5'3"...and yes, I'm going to tell you how much I weigh...167lbs. I used to weigh 120lbs. I'm only 27. I should be able to bounce back. So, I figured posting all the dirty details, and letting you readers bug me would motivate me more. :) Today was Day 2 of my quest, so far so good! I have done power walking with sprints, and riding my bike for 30 minutes. Plus, cutting out ALL SODA (eeek!) ALL FRIED FOOD(double-eeek!) and ALL UNNECESSARY JUNK(Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!). Sigh...what the heck and I getting myself into? 8/ </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >So here is the plan:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Workout walking/jogging/biking Monday-Friday(Saturday if I can) for at LEAST 30 minutes. Add strength training when the first 10 or 15lbs are OFF. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Lose 10lbs by June 19th. If not 15...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Lose 40lbs by December 19th.

I want to be HEALTHY, TRIM, and a better Mom and Wife because of it. I deserve this. I don't have to be a fat bridesmaid, or that Mom who gives up just because she has kids. It's NOT an excuse. Nope. It's ON!!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Thoughts on today: I am TIRED...but I feel good! It's amazing how quickly the body responds to MOVEMENT.

If I can do 2 days in a row...I can do 3, and 4, and 5, and so on...just need to KEEP MOTIVATED!!! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Oh, a word of advice for anyone who is planning on or in the midst of starting a new work out regimen...GET A REALLY GOOD DEODORANT...learned that one the hard way...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Well...time to make dinner!

Basically it feels like someone is trying to rip me apart by my "pirates" (that's what my daughter calls her private parts...) a nice firery, burning sensation, pulling, tearing, popping, cracking...ugh. rolling over takes about 2 to 5 minutes. yep. on top of waking up every few hours to take TUMS. i have acid reflux. i nice burst of lava shoots up into my throat. it's fantastic. i know, i know. i sound like a whiny brat...but let's be honest. being pregnant sucks. i am so grateful for the chance to be doing this again for a third time...but seriously...i feel like i'm going to die.<br /><br /> for those who read this and are pregnant: to ease the pain of SPD i soak in a tub full of epsom salts, stretch, and do pelvic tilts. for the acid relfux, tums. lot's of em. i don't recommend the use of anything like Pepcid, or Prilosec OTC, etc. i had a HORRID reaction to these meds.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">my husband. <span style="font-size:85%;">i love him. a lot. i especially love him with our daughters. not so much when he teaches them to say "bad words". in my house, all kinds of things can be a bad word. today, he told my daughter to say "you a "B"!!!". yep. b. as in....bitch. not to say the actual word, but just the letter B. okay, not sooooo bad. but i can't wait for her to be in Sunday school yelling that at the teacher! he even posted that she said it on Facebook. ::slaps hand on forhead:: anyone care to share their standards on bad words??<br /><br />uh oh...meltdown. gotta run.<br /><br /><3<br /></span></span><br /><br /></span></span>the blank bookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16776948971474333016noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958224302915509686.post-79194191568320116692010-07-21T22:20:00.000-07:002010-07-21T22:34:21.392-07:00head first<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:78%;">i hate blogs.</span><br /><br /> i won't lie. <span style="font-size:78%;">they bother me.</span><br />i feel like most are a <span style="font-size:100%;">competition</span> of who can be the most creative, have the best photos, or stories...<br />...yet, here i am. diving in head first.<br /> i guess i just feel like i <span style="font-size:130%;">might have something to contribute</span>. maybe a mom will be on her computer at 2am thinking <span style="font-size:130%;">no one </span>out there understands what she is going through...then she will read my blog...and feel so much better. :) <span style="font-size:78%;">or something...</span><br /><br />so here it goes.<br /><br /> this blog is dedicated to all women. single, dating, married, divorced...who are trying to conceive, pregnant, or have babies/toddlers/youths/teens.<br /><br />enjoy. <3<br /><br />macie: "mommy! mommy! mommy! mommy!" me: "yes, macie?" macie: "i want you to squish 'baby tummy' out now, please?" :D<br /><br /></span><br /></span>the blank bookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16776948971474333016noreply@blogger.com0
