New food find

This yogurt is soooo goooood! Only 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 fat....which equals 0 points! Really tastes like Key Lime Pie! Only down side is that it isn't a very big portion. I love to mix this yogurt with some kind of fruit to make it more filling. But, it is also very delish on its own! YUMMY!

I've been such a downer lately...haven't I? Well, I am feeling better today. Yesterday was not perfect but better and I did put in a ton of exercise! I have decided that I am going to go back FULL FORCE when the kids go back to school. Until then I am going to keep trying my best. I think I did need a break from points. Sometimes I get too stressed out over it!

Last night we had a farewell get together for my teenage babysitter........she is all grown up now! She is moving out of state into her own apartment, going to school and working. I can't believe how fast she has grown. I know the kids will miss her...and I will miss her too!

Week 24 weigh in

+ 2.2 lbs.

Tired!

I have decided that I am tired of writing about how I am not losing weight because I just basically gave up.....(sigh).......

Have I totally given up on myself AGAIN? I don't think so.

I am still exercising.....it is just that my eating is all wrong......

My head is all wrong..

I don't have discipline.

I didn't weigh in today for this week because...............?

I will weigh myself tomorrow......and post my gain........and try and try and try again.....

Vacation recap

We had a blast in Virginia! The only bump in the road was a speeding ticket given to my husband. BOO! I guess he deserved it though. I had been nagging him to slow down.....and he didn't listen.....and that is all I have to say about that. : )

Here are a few pics:

Walking around the Virginia strip

It was a great vacation. Just not long enough! We left Monday morning and didn't get there until midnight. We had 3 whole days there and then left Friday morning. I wish it was just a tad longer! However, I think I would be a lot heavier if we did that! Vacation gain is no fun. I gained 4.2 pounds. I deserved it! It is a slap in the face that I need to get back on track. Today has been a totally wonderful day. Feeling no guilt for one day really feels good!

On Vacation!

I am in Virginia Beach visiting my brother and family and of course vacationing at the BEACH! I am having a great time! and I am eating like I have no idea what a diet is! I have serious guilt about it. : ) I brought workout clothes with me but do you think I have even put them on??? Well, last week went pretty good until the weekend of course! Back to the grind when I get back though! I pinky swear!

Nine months

Maddie is nine months old today! She is a very active girl now a days. She is crawling everywhere. She is pulling herself up. She is "furniture cruising". No teeth yet though. She loves all kinds of fruits and veggies and her favorite cereal is oatmeal. She is still breastfeeding about 3-5 times a day which is great but she gets easily distracted at every sound. She likes to (suck suck) then stop and look and play and then (suck suck)......that is her rhythm.

This month was her first trip to the pool. I got her a little bathing suit and everything. She seemed to really like the water. She played the whole time we were there and the pool did wear her out. She was asleep in no time when we got home!

Taking a break from crawling and playing

I wanted to upload a video but for some reason it is taking a VERY LONG TIME! Is that normal? I must not be doing it right? Oh well, maybe next time!
