90 days and counting

I'm not sure why, but I am in  a funky mood today. I guess I am just more annoyed than anything. I haven't been exercising (no excuses). I'm just here. I am very tired and see myself going to bed early tonight. I really need to try to get up early tomorrow to exercise. I want to lose 3 pounds so it would put me under 200 by Monday...I have had a few bad nights of eating and while my calorie goal is 1115 I have hit close to 2000 for the past few days. I know that just means I will maintain weight. Today marks the 3 months until my goal date. I need to get my motivation back and keep on trucking.

I actually have noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit and while I do not expect everyone to notice my 11 pound loss....no one has noticed. That seems a bit odd to me, but I am not going to let it get me down. I am going to get a good nights rest and start tomorrow off fresh.

Tonight, Cadence and I went with my mom to a brain injury meeting. It was nice to meet other people who are going through the same things as we are. We all sat and talked together and then split up into groups. I was able to speak with the family members and a doctor. I had a really good time and plan on going more often.

I get concerned about my mom just because she has so much going on. Here lately, she has been losing a lot of weight unintentionally. I am hoping she will be able to gain some of it back and maintain.

Greg submitted his transfer a few days ago. I am hoping it will be approved this time. Now we have to wait and see what happens.

Tonight was a bit off. Cadence spent the night with Mama and I was all alone. I did not know what to do with myself. After work, I stopped and got gas then went to Wal-mart to piddle around. After getting home, I made dinner and messed with my sewing machine. I stayed up way too late, but it was a nice night. I did not clean anything! I will get it done another night. Tonight was just for relaxing and vegging. LOL.

I will admit that I ate a little too much and went over my calorie goal, but it was one night.

Greg went home today. :-( Before leaving he took Cadence to the dentist...it turned out to be this big ordeal....He had to end up taking her to a kids dentist because we need to get some dental work done! She is just like her mommy....grinds, grinds and grinds. Her mouth is a little crowded too. I am not looking forward to those appointments. I feel like a horrible mom because of what she needs done, but there is nothing I could do to prevent it. We now have her brushing after every meal so if someone is babysitting her, we take the toothbrush and toothpaste with us.

Aside from that, it was a pretty normal Monday. Oh and I lost 3.6 pounds! Go me!

It was nice to have Greg home this weekend even though I was really sick. We did not go out....at all! We were complete homebodies the whole weekend. I was able to rest and get better. I am still a little ill, but nothing like I was. I can handle a stuffy nose and a little cough any day. He will be leaving tomorrow to head back to St. Louis. :-( Then I won't see him for two whole weeks. On the bright side of things, I look at it as an opportunity to lose more weight before he returns.

I have set my alarm to get up in the morning to exercise and I know Greg won't just let me roll back over and go back to bed. I need the extra push to get up. Plus, he will be watching Cadence so I will be waking up at the time I normally would to get the day going. Tuesday morning will be interesting. I may try to get up by 5:30 so I have enough time to do my workout and take care of a few other things. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I am super excited about my weigh-in tomorrow. ( I know...I am a total dork.) I feel that I have done very well at watching what I eat and workout out....although, I only exercised the first few days of last week. I will also be posting pictures and updating my weight. Yay...

It's hard to believe that in three months it will be Spring time and my goal date. It's even harder to believe that my class reunion is in 7 months. I keep looking forward and picturing what I will look like in 3 months and what I will look like in 7 months for my reunion. I know it may seem clique to want to slim down for the reunion and while I was not the big girl I am now in high school it would still be nice to slim down to something smaller than I was then. I am so proud of myself because I have been working hard. I watch my portions and try to eat healthier.

I am still not feeling the best, but definitely better than yesterday. I took a nap this afternoon and can only do a little at a time. I just feel very weak. I am not one who takes naps, but when I do not feel good I will take one anytime I get the chance.

What a day....I thought that I was getting better, but no such luck. I actually got worse. I went to work anyway because like most money is tight these days especially with trying to support two households, which is not something we are financiall use to doing. After being at work for a few hours, my boss came in and sent me home with pay! I work for the best people ever! I may have my gripes here or there, but who doesn't! I am very blessed to have the job that I have along with the bosses. After getting home, I drifted in and out of sleep. All I did was sleep. Needless to say, it was another day with no exercise. I know that it would help loosen everything, but I just did not have the energy.

Although there were a few lemons in the day, I know that everything will be fine and will work itself out. I just need to keep my faith.
