yay, i am no longer obese. just overweight!  ( i type with sarcasm)   according to the buddy slom BMI calculator, i am now at 29.3.    i have not lost any weight since last i weighed in, but i have not gained any either.  maybe that 1/4 of a symphony bar i broke down and ate last night was made of pure air.   we will see what the upcoming holiday food will bring. 

that was a slow 6 lbs, but i didnt want to journal it until i knew it was going to stay off.    i havent started excercising regularly yet, still walk with my daughter in her stroller about 3 times a week, but no official start or motivation to do so.  :(      sometimes your mental state can effect how active you are ,when in reality, it is how active you are that really effects your mental state in the long run.     my elliptical machine in the playroom - aka. clothes hanger - calls for me daily, to no avail.     i guess just watching what i eat is the key.  no crash diets, just portions. i still eat all the things i like, just small amounts to satisfy teh need.  i will update in a week or so.  

ps, update on the kid progress….  no kid #2 yet, nate wants one, and i am sticking to my goal.  it will happen soon! if i keep this up.    go me!

technically, I weigh 210.8, but the weigh-in section doesnt allow for decimals.  :(   Just by changing my eating habits and drinking h20 instead of other sweet drinks,, I have lost 3 lbs.  I will start working out next week… we shall see how THAT goes.  If I can get a 20 minute walk in a day that would be better than the exercise I get now, which is NADA, zip, nothing.    

I keep seeing shows on tv about pregnancy and weight issues, (one right now about sextuplets… holy crap!  but that is off the subject to this comment) so I am getting more and more anxious to lose this weight and continue our family.   Being only 28, I have a little time to work on that.  Or should I say WE have a little time … so I should probably get off my butt, stop watching baby shows and get to working out - along with all the regular mom stuff already.

I know this is SOOOO not interesting to anyone else but me, but that is who I have to answer to if I fail in this goal. I will weigh in again early next week. (trying to do it 2x a week so im not obcessive everyday.)

I set a goal to run a 5k (for a cause) with my sister in law next summer.  I weigh 214 right now and would like to tone up, and lose 24lbs.  having these goals written somewhere (especially on the internet) will help me keep this goal and track my progress.   

Last march, I had a baby and gained 40 lbs.  Usually i have had no problem losing weight…until pregnancy.  I do not have the same motivation or metabolism as i used to, so losing the baby weight is extra hard.  I do not want to have anymore kids until i feel that i am at a healthy weight again.   Any support would be greatly appreciated.
