Ha Ha!

I'm down another 1 1/2 lbs! Wahoo! I've cut back another 1/3 what I eat and have super ramped up my exercise. It's working slowly, but surely. 15lbs to go by June....

Does shopping count as exercise?

So I went thrift shopping with Lauralee for about 4 hours today, does that count as exercise? How bout corralling Drew through the shops full of breakables in tight quarters...
Still waiting on the tax return to get my rec center membership...dumb gov. delayed it another week... rude....

Down 1lb

It is snowing again. We got 7 inches yesterday, light enough to melt, but today we got another 4 inches of wet snow and it is snowing again. I lost another lb, so I am down 10. That made my day even with the snow. Lee wants dessert tonight, so it will probably be disastrous for me. I will only eat a bite. I am motivated now. I did 10 minutes on the Nordic Track today also. yay for me.

Twix for Valentines...

Matt got me Twix for Valentines day and I can't tell you how good it is! It's been a nice treat, and helped me not snack on the neighbors dreaded chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting. I'm doing good with no sugar...but still need to cut down proportions a bit...I'm not loosing that fast.

Finally starting to feel better so I'll be able to taste food again, and care what I'm eating...and exercise! I haven't been to a real karate class cause I got so sick...shooting for next week!

So to finish...how do you spell candy with two letters?


C and Y ...hehehe a little elementary humor for ya!

Yes!!!!!!!

I did it. I am down another 3lbs. That makes 9lbs total. I eat one meal a day and just a snack at night. Works for me. I am so tired of gray. I want green so bad. Next week I will be planting my tomatoes inside, so that will help. Good job all of you. It is fun reading all about you.

We are all better now (sorry, don't mean to rub that in Steff.). I started the week off really great, I did P90x 4 days in a row, then Sean took Thurs., Friday off and I just didn't want to do it. So, I'm starting again Tues when he goes back to work :o). My eating has been pretty bad, I've had crazy cravings and have over indulged, eek. However, Sean suggested I wear some pants today that I haven't worn it years, really, years. THEY FIT! Woohoo ah huh! It gives me more motivation to keep trying.

RSV!

So I took Douglas back to the Doctor today, because since his visit for ear infections last Sat. he's been deaf! Hasn't been able to hear much (or at least me talking to him) all week. I almost left Drew home with Dudley, but he wanted to come too, so I brought him along. All I can say is "good thing!"
Dr. Sylvia Morin is AWESOME! She checked out Douglas, said he's doing ok, but gave him a stronger antibiotic to kick the ear infections in the butt.. then asked me how Drew was doing? I told her he had a cold as well, but hadn't been acting too bad or complaining too much. She asked to check him real quick, turns out he has a bad ear infection in his right ear, AND RSV! My goodness! I told her how he's been keeping me up for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night, basically every night, but I had assumed it was because of his cold, he hasn't complained to me about ear pain at all! Yes he's been a little whiney, and yes he hasn't been eating that well, and yes he's had a cough, but nothing like what Douglas has been doing. Douglas' cough was pretty much non-stop, Drew coughs 2-4 times a day, it sounds bad, but isn't constant. What I've come to realize is that Drew doesn't complain anywhere near as much as Douglas does! Even their Doc said he was a laid back kid!
To top it off, I told her that Dudley had been to the Doc yesterday for sinus infection/general crappiness, she told me RSV in adult usually manifests as a severe cold that takes forever to clear up. She thinks the whole family has it! Blah!
Good news is she isn't too worried about Drew, said its almost better for kids that age to let it run its course, but to get back with her if he isn't sounding better in a week. She stuck both boys on antibiotics and told me to keep everyone home for a few days.
Good thing it's a long weekend eh?
