Just a Mama Trying to Misplace Her Fat

What do Supermodels, large dogs, quarter of beef, double stroller, bike stroller trailer, and tortoises have to do with me?  I will let you know after these commercial msgs LOL Now back to our regularly scheduled program.... So I did have weigh in today.  After picking up my 5 year old from school, we zipped over to my meeting place to weigh in . Took my coat and shoes off and then handed my book to my ...

This has not been a kind week in our household.  My 5 year old daughter started off the week (on a holiday no less) quite sick with a fever and throwing up.  That saw her missing school on Tuesday.  On Wednesday, whatever she had, my 3 year old had something similar.  Fever on and off and general malaise but was not throwing up. I weighed in the morning (I'll get back to that in a minute) and had been fighting the feeling of nausea on and off all morning.  In the afternoon, I ended up sick myself (at least I wasn't running to the bathroom to throw up! LOL) Thursday saw one of my dayhome kids sick (slept most of the day) but was in good spirits but cuddly at times. Thursday ...

Our Monday Project from Shrinkingjeans.net had us trying something new this week, stepping outside our comfort zone. Since I started my weight loss journey back in April, I have been continuously stepping outside my comfort zone.  I am more willing to try new foods and the way I wear my clothes has definitely changed from what I was comfortable with.  Now, exercise is totally different.  For some reason, I have a very hard time coming out of my glass box for fear of shattering it. I want to.  I sooooo want to!  And, you know what? I chickened out. I finally did it! Granted, it was still a workout at home but I can not afford a gym membership at the moment so I am doing ...

Today's meeting topic was about motivation.  Getting motivated and keeping motivation going. It was asked what motivated us to join Weight Watchers and then what motivates us to keep going. My motivation to join Weight Watchers was through an opportunity that I couldn't say no to. The province I live in was conducting a survey of people that needed to lose weight for a study they would be running.  If you qualified, you would be compensated up to 70% of the costs of meetings.  The only thing stopping me from joining was finances so when this opportunity fell in my lap, I jumped on it with both feet and haven't looked back since. My mom being diagnosed with borderline diabetes ...

Couldn't report in yesterday for the Rethink Your Shrink Challenge over at Shrinkingjeans yesterday because I didn't weigh in until this morning. I am down another 1.8 lbs for a grand total of 95.8 lbs lost. My next goal is within reach! 4.2 lbs to go until I am 100 lbs lighter! So so so so so close I can taste it! I envision myself crying on the scale when I see that number.Now, I am needing to start concentrating on toning up some areas. My arms have grown wings and my stomach is still quite floopy. (have had babies afteral.... LOL ) And the chest area can always use a tone up... definitely use a tone up! Just have to find a workout that works for me that won't cause me to hurt myself ...
