Wowza it has been 8 days...

     Well let's play catch up. It has been a wild week and a day.

  Last week is kind of a blur. Last week was cleaning, play dates, hubby getting to his unit, shopping and getting ready for weekend camping.

   Saturday we went camping at Fenton Campground in Land between the Lakes. It was AMAZING. Well until the evening hit. Neither kid slept well, we had a raccoon that kept scampering into camp to get to the crick on the other side of camp. Then when we all fell asleep the whole camp was raided by coons and SKUNKS lol. Though my poor hubby had to sleep in the car with our son because Isaiah refused to sleep without music.

   This week has been just as busy and tomorrow is the pediatricians office for the kiddos so it will be quite interesting. I hope y'alls week is going good.

   It has been an extremely tight band week and all last week I could eat anything I wanted. I am staying on track though and still going strong.


   Have a great day y'all talk to you tomorrow when I have more time.  Later gators

Monday.... weigh in day


   Well today was weigh in day... I lost!! Woot Woot!! I started weighing in with a friend a couple weeks ago and started at 273lbs, last week I was 270lbs and today I weighed in at 265lbs. I am finally on the losing track :)

   Now onto what I have eaten today. This morning the family wanted Denny's so we went and I drank coffee. Yes I stuck to it and just had my liquids. Then for lunch I had a pickle, a 1/4 c chopped cucumber, a tbsp of homemade granola and a tsp of ranch. Because yesterday I found 0 calorie foods and cucumber and pickle was on that list. So my lunch was 27 calories and 25 protein so I totally rocked that meal. Then dinner I sauteed chicken with onions. garlic and broccoli which again was on the zero cal list.. the broccoli not the chicken :)

   Of course now as I type this I am not feeling well because right after dinner we decided to play basketball. So not a good idea. My tummy is upset but it was fun.

   Well today was boring since it was just running errands and hanging with friends. Guess I will sign off for the night. I hope y'all have a great day.

   Recipe of the day
I got Nothing,..... sorry

hiking, muding, eating and fun

 
   Holy Moly I am having the worst time keeping up with this darn thing lol! But, Friday, Saturday and Today were CHAOS.... story of my life :)

  Anyways here is the recap

   Friday was pouring down rain and payday which meant grocery shopping and bill paying. This mama put on her romeos and jeans and got the job done. We were soaked and cold so we came home and snuggled in front of our 12 dollar fireplace. Man oh man I can not wait to go to work to see what my husband does when he realizes how much slack he will have to pick  up since I can not.... hehe. I see him begging me to quit once he realizes how life will be. It will be GREAT!

  Saturday was again pouring down rain so we jumped in the car and headed to the hills. We hit the Land Between the Lakes National forest. We found our perfect camping spots along with some mud!! We ended up four bying on accident but it was amazing. Such a wonderful day. We got home late and slept amazingly.


   Sunday.... Today.... We relaxed this morning and visited with my mother in law since it is her birthday weekend, she turned 50, and got ready for a busy afternoon. We hit my cousins sons baseball game, it was freaking adorable and there were some crazy mamas there. Then we grilled out with my aunt and uncle and hiked up and down their hill for at least and hour lol! Sold my p90x for my elliptical and came on home. Finally at 8pm I got the babies in bed and quiet time with my love.


   Now onto a band decussion. I only had 2 stuck episodes and that was because a bite slipped down without me chewing thoroughly. Life as a bander is getting easier and easier. Weigh in tomorrow so I will let y'all know how that goes... see ya tomorrow!

Thursday blurday....

   Man oh man was today chaos. A friend came over to watch the kiddos so I could go to the interview. Well I got the job pending a background check. Which of course I know I will pass. Next week I should get an offer of which store to work at. If I don't get one of the ones close I will have to pass but oh well I will deal with that when the time comes. My friend did some laundry and I watched her kids while she went house hunting.

   Dinner was a fast food joint since in the blur I totally forgot to get anything out. I am so proud of myself though. I got a baked potato and that is it. No hamburger or fries or sugar loaded salad just a potato. It really hit the spot and I am a happy girl. I did have a few chicken nuggets for lunch since I had a headache after the interview but still right on track. GO ME!!

   Found my fitness classes for 30 a month and a $40 elliptical for the days I don't do the classes. I am super excited to be getting things all lined up. I can do this. I have lost 110lbs the next 100 shouldn't be that hard.

  Wish me luck and keep on keeping on :)

Recipe of the day

 Mint lemonade (made as directed)

1 can frozen lemonade

10 mint leaves

Chop the leaves and let set in lemonade for at least 3 hours.. the longer the better.. strain the leaves out and enjoy. Super refreshing and amazing!

Wow the days...



    Man the days just keep getting away from me. Last I posted on Monday and now it is Thursday.. Where does the time go?!

   My days have been complete and utter chaos topped with hectic fun! Isaiah started being a 100% crawler this week. He is a whirlwind. Definitely need to get some baby gates to contain him. He is on the go and my little energizer bunny. He also started clicking his tongue and clapping yesterday. He is just the biggest sweetie ever.

   Ky has met new friends and been on the go go go! She is loving all the fun outside and just growing like a weed. My babies are not babies anymore. Their personalities just amaze me. Like this morning Ky has been following Isaiah has he crawls and every few steps he rolls him over and says "brother you're a baby so stay still" to this he gets up crawls away while laughing, sits,claps and starts clicking his tongue. They are just so sweet to see together. I am one lucky mama that they love each other so much

   Now onto some lapband news. Eating has been great. Only one stuck issue that I was able to take care of with a little hot tea. I am starting a new eating plan. Yogi tea in the morning, of course. Then lunch will be raw vegetables and fruit with a little cottage cheese or yogurt or just reg cheese. Then dinner of course is protein protein protein.

  So tuesdsay was cleaning and organizing of the kids rooms and getting the certificates and diplomas on the wall. wednesday was playdate with friends the shopping and a bbq with new friends and today is thursday so I finally have you caught up. Oh and yes today is the interview so wish me a little luck. I will get on here tonight and update about that and give ya a few recipes to catch up on that. I hope you all have a great day!!

Late but better then never...


    So it has  been a few days. Let's see I let you all in on friday, it was a busy and fun day. Saturday was wild. We went all over the place, Bison and Elk prarie, picnic in the woods, Homeplace homestead, Nature station zoo and the Spring into Summer Festival where we got to watch Joe Nicholas. Found our new camping site and I pb'd at the zoo.... yeah that was not fun at all but that is what I get for taking a sip of water just a little to early. It was a great day though and I tried my very first every fried snickers. I shared it and ate nothing else lol.

   Sunday was a little lower key but still busy. We had a great early breakfast with my parents, I had 2 bites of hashbrowns and a bite of biscuit and I was proud that is all I ate. Then my mom and I went shopping. After all that we went to a bbq with some new friends we made where I was able to eat without a problem. My parents went to my aunts and we met up for dinner. Which I did not eat because I was full. I am getting this whole mind over matter thing down.

    And today, today I have thought of nothing more then our military. I am holding my husband a little closer today and thinking of my friend I lost in Iraq. While watching Bomb Patrol I can only wonder what the future holds. I try not to dwell on what life has in store but I am scared at all the possibilities. I just thank God for each day and enjoy all I can. I didn't have breakfast this morning just because I am never really hungry in the morning and am always tight. For lunch I had a hot dog and that was it and then for a snack I am getting ready to have a few strawberries. For dinner the hubby is grilling steak and I am making salad.

   Well that is it for the day. It has been pretty low key and relaxing. Mom and dad took off this morning so we are missing them. Getting ready to start the week back up tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great day.

  Recipe of the day....

 Resses smores which we are having tonight

PS: Oh by the way later I will post the broccoli slaw I made saturday night. It was delicious!!

PPS: Today was weigh in day and I lost 3lbs. I went from 273 to 270.... smaller smaller smaller

Updating and back on track!


   Alrighty so yesterday I did not get to get on here. It was CHAOS. I had an orientation that lasted until 3pm and then we ran errands and worked outside and then sat by the fire until 10pm. Before I knew it the day was over and I had not updated. So I figure I had better get things update now.

   So yesterday, I went to the orientation where they decided to feed us. They had pizza and salad of which I only ate the toppings off of one pizza and half the salad. I was VERY proud of myself for this accomplishment. Though I came home and was stupid and had a few chips... I paid for that and was good the rest of the night. After being dumb I got back on track and just had salad for dinner with 2 bites of steak.

   Today I haven't really eaten. I drank some coffee and protein but have stayed away from a real meal after my stuckiness yesterday. Though I did have 1 bit of breakfast burrito innerds but that was it for solid food. I will have a pudding soon and a salad with chicken for dinner.


   On other news..... I have a job interview Thursday, I believe I posted about this interview already but it changed to next thursday because of the orientations yesterday, I was amazed to actually get a different interview date. On top of the interview I found out with my daddy being a 100% disabled vet I can go back to college. I say go back because I have a certificate in Special Educations Assistant teacher. I am going to go back for a diploma of Cosmetology. I am super excited. Have to job possibilities under my belt.

   Well now I am headed out to go shopping. Talk to y'all later....


Recipe of the day is spicy corn bread

1 corn bread packet (add ingredients as directed)
2 tbsp pace pacante sauce
2 tbsp cheese

mix all together and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Serve with honey butter and enjoy
