Is anyone else in love with the biggest loser like I am? I watch it religiously. Usually when I watch it, it's on the couch eating ice cream or chips or some kind of candy or delicous fatty snack! And while that is happening I think ever time. "I need to do this! I need to lose weight and get on a program to get fit! Eh...I will start this Monday...yeah...this Monday!" So all week long I eat as much yummy food as I can and then come Monday...I don't start. About 2 years ago (before we started to try again for a baby) I did a program called Body For Life. I lost 17 lbs in 1 MONTH! that was it! 1 MONTH! We still havent' gotten pregnant almost 2 years later and my weight has fluctuated because of it. I took Clomid (fertility drug) and gained 23 lbs. I kept telling people I wasn't gaining because I was embarrassed. I figured I could get prego and blame the weight on the baby! Man was I wrong. I just don't feel comfortable in my skin anymore. Mike tells me how sexy I am all the time...and I beleive him...well, I want to beleive him. I just don't have the confidence about myself. So...last Monday I made sure I really started!! And I did! I am so proud of myself! I eat 1200 calories a day (certain foods-BFL gives you a list) making it 6 meals a day. I have to eat every 3 hours. I exercise 6 days a week alternating high intensity cardio with upper body and lower body weight training. I drink an average of 100 oz of water a day (and pee a lot! lol) Sunday is my "free day!" I can't go crazy wild but I can have foods not on the list but still keep it small portions and under 2000 calories. I'm only supposed to weigh myself once a week....but I did weigh myself this morning (I'm supposed to wait until Monday to weigh in) according to the scale I have already lost 6 lbs!! We will see if it is still that way on Monday. I'm really hoping to end up with a 30 lb weight loss. More would be nice, but 30 is my goal. I'm going to do this diet for 3 months. Since I lost 17 lbs in one month I figured I can try for 30 in 3 months. I know it's only been 5 days since I started but I'm feeling really good about it. :)
I also know I haven't posted in a while. I started keeping a journal at home. It was so hard to write in it and this. But I will try. :) Mike and I are in love more and more every day. (throw up right?) lol. Remington is the cutest sweetest 7 year old boy ever. He is currently playing Jr Jazz and has 2...yes 2 girlfriends! He got his first love note the other day. He was smitten...and it was cute! McHailee is the cutest little 15...I mean 3 year old you have ever seen! Well, cute except for her little attitude at times. She loves dancing, singing, and playing dress up. She always says to me, with the cutest little smile, "mom, we are smart and beautiful girls huh?" I love her so much. Mike is the boss at a company called Back Office of Real Property Management. He loves it there and is going to go really far with that company...I just know it. We soon will have our house to ourselves again. Our friends that we let move in our basement are moving after February. It will be nice to have our whole house back but at the same time I will miss them! :( Work is still work. I love my job and I am happy. That's all for now. Just a wee little update. :)
