I snuck back up on the scales this morning. I know, I'm such a cheater! ha ha

I'm down another pound though! Motivation comes in small packages. Happy Tuesday every body!

Weigh in for July 21st

Well today is my fifth weigh in. I almost forgot! I usually get up, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom and weigh myself immediately after that. But, in all the packing, I didn't see my scale first thing this morning. So after breakfast I remembered, OMG it's Saturday morning! I jumped on the scale and believe it or not......it went down again! Yay for me! I lost 1 1/2 pounds this week. I'm so excited. I've been so busy this week, trying to decide what to do to get home as fast as possible. Maybe it was going downstairs to do all the laundry? Anyway, I'm 1.5 pounds closer to the short term goal of 250. I've decided that my short term goals so just go down to the next 25 pound mark. Once I hit to 250, my short term goal will go down to 200, then 175, and so on. You can see progress that way. I've lost so much of my 25 pound goal, as opposed to I've lost this much of my 110 pound goal.

starting weight - 273.5
current weight - 267.0
s/term goal is - 250
l/term goal is - about 165 or so

6.5 pounds down, 17 to go!

already stressing

Thanks so much Christine! It's gonna be rough while I get moved, but a whole day eating airline food, I might lose five pounds the week I fly. I'm already stressing about a 9 hour flight with four little ones. Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm hoping it happens ASAP. The sooner the better.

We're getting the family pass to the zoo! Unlimited zoo entrance, for a year, for two adults and up to five kids, for 60 bucks. I've been to a few zoos and the OKC zoo is by far the best I've ever been to. I'm looking forward to it! And there's the lake to go swimming. In my opinion better than the pool, more private! We're gonna go the the Omniplex too! It's like this huge science museum for kids. There's nothing they can't touch or play with! And I'd be chasing them all day, lots and lots of exercise back home! I'm gonna be keeping my niece on the weekends, so you'd better believe you'll find us at the zoo! And maybe one day my mom can keep the grandbabies and my sister and I can hit the amusement park, and maybe go out that night! I haven't been out to the club in a long long time. I love playing pool and watching all the drunk people try to dance! So, I'm thinking that with some healthy food choices the weight will just melt off! I'm hoping it will at least. I'll get to go to my brother's ballgames, and maybe join a gym if I can find a regular sitter. Who knows, this time next year I might just be a size 10. Wouldn't that be nice?

I have a rough weight goal of 160 pounds. I'm not bothered too much about my weight, because I've always weighed more than people the same size as me. I would like to see the scale dip back under 200 for sure! I have a size goal. I would be perfectly happy as a size 10 or even 12. I'd be tickled pink if I could hit a size 8. I don't think I'd want to be any smaller than that though. Anyway. I'll keep you posted. If you don't hear from me for a bit, it's probably cause I'm not in Germany anymore, and I'm trying to get settled back home. Thanks for the comments, they keep my spirits up!

week 4's weigh in

It's been a rough week for me. I've been beyond stress so the scale didn't move this week. I'm okay with it, surprisingly. At least it didn't go up! So, I'm still 268.5 today. I don't know how well I'm gonna do over the next month or so. It's going to be hectic around here. I got approved for an EROD (Early Return of Dependants) this week. So, it's gonna be crazy trying to get moved back home. I've got to get moved home and find a place for me and the kids to stay. Busy busy time ahead of me! If I can get through it without gaining I'll be happy.

starting weight:274.5
current weight:268.5
short term goal: 250
long term goal: 160

no gym today

I didn't get to go to the gym again to day. Something came up last minute. But I did do some cleaning today. I know that doesn't quite suffice, but I was on my feet and that's something. I haven't had much of an appetite today. Around four I sat down with a bowl of tomato soup. It's nine now, I think I'll have some cream of wheat as soon as I put the kids to bed.

I am definitely going to the gym on Wednesday though! I'm tired today, so maybe it's a good thing I didn't get to go?

weigh in number three (loosing motivation)

Weigh in number three. The numbers are low, but they still went in the right direction. It's actually quite surprising! I kind of took the week off. I went to the gym Monday. Slacked off because of my knee. Wednesday was the fourth, so daycare wasn't open. They didn't have an appointment for yesterday, because of a field trip. I couldn't afford to get them in all day. Okay, on to the weight loss, as small as it is. I'm down 1/2 a pound this week. Making my total 5 pounds in three weeks. I suppose it's time to put things back into gear this week. Wish me luck. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Purple's a pretty color, right?

I slacked off at the gym today. Bad Sarah, I know. I didn't even want to go to be honest. I made myself go. But, I have a legitimate reason, honest!

I fell last night, trying to get into the tub. The boys had taken a bath earlier, and there was soap or something in the bottom of it. And the tubs are high here! I don't know what's up with that, but it's like a two foot step to get into the thing! It's so retarded. Anyway, I started the shower and tried to step in it, slipped and slammed my right knee on the tub. It's a really pretty purple today!. Hurts like hell, and I limped on a treadmill for about 45 minutes and called it quits. Not a great day.

Anyway, hope everyone else had a decent Monday! Sarah
