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.

Yay! I am completing today's post before I head off to work on laundry or dishes. LOL. A mother's work is never done. So tonight I went to the grocery....I have started hard-core couponing. Before my coupons the bill was $85 even and after it was $64.80! Not a huge hue savings, but I will take it. I am hoping to get a little better and maybe one day I can be like some of these people who walk out with a $20 bill for a basket load of groceries.

Tonight, I will not be exercising. I feel better than yesterday, but still pretty lousy. Things are a little behind since I went to the store.

I have stayed on my diet and I am anxious for Monday's weigh-in. I made BBQ Chicken Burritos. Yummy! Plus super simple...15 minutes! I got the recipe from http://www.eatingwell.com/. I recommend the site. I have gotten a few good recipes from there.

So I am getting a little off on things. It's probably due to the horrible cold that I have! It feels like I am going to cough a lung or something. It burns as well. I was feeling so bad that I took medicine and went to bed at 8:30. Needless to say, I did not exercise at all. I was barely able to function.

It's bad enough being sick, but worse when you are sick and do not have help at home. Cadence is still giving me fits about taking her medicine. Only 6 days left, but it's going to be a long six days. I have tried everything from mixing it milk or giving her coke (which is something I do not like for her to have). Nothing seems to work. Maybe Daddy will make the difference when he comes home this weekend.

Yes, I am posting this a day late and a dollar short. Things got a little busy last night so I am playing catch up now. Yesterday was a little eventful. After dropping off my daughter, I was on my way to a doctor's appointment when my car decided to do a complete 360 on a busy road (Hwy 22). Scary...

Oh I did exercise with the Zumba and Wii Fit. I had a great workout. I just need to put more effort into going to bed earlier in order to get up earlier to exercise.

I am ready for some warmth and Spring weather. I want to get outside to do things! Buuuurrrrrrrrr....too cold right now.

100th day photo

Every Monday I will post two new pictures of myself....if there were only a way to make a photo album on here. Ugh well, a post will work. I am going to post a front and side view picture of myself. I hope over the coming weeks to notice a difference in the pictures. I guess we will have to wait and see. I had a great workout tonight thanks the Zumba for Wii along with My Wii Fit Plus. My ultimate goal is the wake up earlier in the mornings to do Zumba...it's just so hard to get up early.

100 days and counting

Just as most have issues during the holidays...I did too! I have lost and not gained anything back, but very little at a time. I will take some loss over none or gain any day. Now that the holidays are over, I can really start to focus and get my head on straight. I changed my Weight Loss Date and counter. A friend and I are trying to do it together. We are weighing in at work every Monday and set a 13 week, 3 pounds per week goal. The end of the 13 weeks will be April 20th! Needless to say, I am a little behind on my goal. I know that once things begin to warm up, Cadence and I will be outside playing. I was very shocked to weigh myself today considering I was on vacation last week and went to help my best friend with her newborn. I did not track my food on Livestrong.com nor did I exercise and somehow I managed to still lose 0.8 pounds! Talk about a mood boost especially when I was anticipating a gain of 2-3 pounds. My new goal is to now write daily keeping in mind that as each day goes by I am one day closer to the new date. I am super pumped and excited to get this weight off.

Tomorrow, I will be going to have my blood work done then I will only have one visit left until I get the final clear. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Getting pregnant scares me. For now, I am just going to continue to work on the weight loss and then focus on having baby #2. I think being a little slimmer will help although, I know it cannot prevent it from happening again. I have been so worried about NOT getting pregnant, now the thought that it's ok just doesn't feel right. It's hard to explain. Here goes nothing...

Tick, Tick, Tick

According to my ticker, I have 3 months and 3 days left until I reach my goal date. SO I have lost a month, but there is still time to get on track and get things moving. I know that I really need to focus on studying for the exam and prepare the house for Thanksgiving. My exam is Thursday so I will most def. make the time by then to get up and exercise in the morning. I will need to move my alarm clock and so on...

With time, anything is possible!
