Started a new blog!!

Hey strangers! I started a new blog that I will be posting faithfully on starting Monday, April 11th. Please follow it, as I need the encouragement! Here is the link -http://40poundsby27.blogspot.com/

I am BACK!!!!!

Ok, so if any of you have 3 kids, 4 and under, you can understand how much free time I have to blog!! HA! I really want to get back into posting though! As long as I know people are reading and getting something out of my ramblings...I will keep posting! :-)

It took me a long time to get back into the swing of WW. Honestly, after eating whatever I wanted for a year, it is SO hard to restrict myself now! Last week was the first week I really stuck to the plan, and I lost 4 pounds at last Thursday's WI! I was so excited! THEN came the weekend! I had my daughter's 3rd birthday and made chicken and broccoli alfredo for the family party on Sunday! Oh my word, it's my favorite meal in the world! Of course I ate it on Sunday, and then the leftovers yesterday. :-( I probably gained back the 4 pounds I lost! The reason I am blogging, is I am just starting again today! I realized this weekend, that I can't go crazy with eating even for a day, because it is SO hard for me to get back into WW after doing that! Live and learn I guess!

Anyway, I need to go! Just wanted to touch base and let you all know that I'm back! Hopefully I will post again tomorrow!

Is anyone still there?

Hello all! I'm sure NOBODY even looks at this blog anymore...lol...but I thought for the fun of it, I would post a little something!
Tomorrow I will be 36 weeks pregnant, and am looking forward to having our first son, anytime now! We are all very excited for his arrival...me most of all because I am DONE being pregnant! :-) I am planning on starting WW between 2-3 weeks after he is born, so hopefully I will be back, posting regularly, and looking for weight loss support! I have my work cut out for me!
Just wanted to post a little update! I will be back for good before you know it!

Well......

I'm sorry it's been SO long since I've posted! Life has been busy! I've had great weeks on plan, and HORRIBLE weeks, eating everything in sight! Isn't that just how life is?
I have great news though! I just found out today, and I am expecting baby #3 in August 2010! We are so excited! Although I would have loved to be thinner before I got pregnant, I'm still just as thrilled that God gave us this baby in His timing! I guess I won't be really blogging on a "weight loss" blog anymore, since I'll be blowing up bigger and bigger, lol, but I will post time to time to update you all, and I will be back in September 2010 to lose all the baby weight! :-) Hope you all are doing great!

Not much time...but...I had to share...

Guess what I did last night? Well, bad things first. I was having a great day, eating wise, and it was 5pm and I had 10 points left. Then, to make a long story short, I was somewhere where we ordered pizza and these huge, gooey, soft, chocolate chip cookies. Oh. My. Gosh. To DIE for! So, I pigged out...had 2 pieces of pizza, and one HUGE cookie. Well, I was feeling a little guilty, seeing that I ate all of this before watching Biggest Loser....the show that is supposed to motivate me NOT to do that! So I went home and figured I would get on the elliptical. Do you know how long I stayed on? 100 minutes! Yes...that is ONE HUNDRED minutes!! WHOO HOO! I burned 1,600 calories too! I was so proud of myself! I'm so sore and tired this morning though! :-) I figured I should have burnt off at least most of what I ate, so I was glad! Just wanted to share!

Well on my way...again...

Hello my fellow bloggers/followers! How have you been? Sorry I haven't posted in a few days...life has been crazy busy...as always! I have been doing well on plan for the past week, so that is good news! Lol...it is so easy, yet so hard for me to just FOLLOW THE PLAN! I don't know what my problem is sometimes! :-)

Tonight I made Spaghetti Squash for the first time...and guess what? I'm in love!! I made it instead of pasta, and topped it with homemade meatballs and sauce. ( not homemade sauce though...haha...I'm not that good! ) Honestly, I could barely tell I wasn't eating pasta, and it's good for you, and 0 points for a cup! Can you believe it? All you do is take a spaghetti squash, cut it in half, and cook them face down on a cookie sheet at 375 for about 45-55 minutes. Once it is done, remove the seeds, and scrape the insides out with a fork into your bowl. It looks just like spaghetti, and tastes just as good! I can't believe I didn't find out about this earlier! I have a feeling it is going to be a staple dinner now!

( I didn't take a picture of mine...but this is pretty much what it looked like! YUMMY! )

Another thing that I was pretty excited about today, was I had a $2.00 off 1 Healthy Choice Frozen Meal coupon, so I made 25 copies of it! I got 25 frozen meals for $6.00!!! I was so excited! I like them even better than the Smart Ones frozen meals, and I was so happy to get them for so cheap!

Overall, a good day today! I'm hoping to be down a good bit on Thursday...I was up 4 pounds last week from my past few weeks of doing bad! YOWZERS!!! Hopefully I will lose most of that, if not all of that, this coming week! Have a great rest of the weekend!

Tuesday, September 15th

Ok...Day 2 back on plan! :-) I'll get the boring stuff out of the way first...

Oat Chocolate Pancakes with Syrup - 4 points
Granola Bar - 2 points
Pretzels - 2 points
Cheese Roll up - 4 points
Homemade Pizza - 7 points
Chocolate Melting Cake - 4 points ( YUM )

I will have to share the recipe for the Chocolate Melting Cake! It is from "Deceptively Delicious" and it is YUMMY!!!!! I had it last night while watching The Biggest Loser! Did any of you watch it last night? Man, I was crying...I can tell it's going to be an emotional season. I can barely look at the lady who lost her family without crying! Can you even imagine? Exp 2 week postpartum? You are so emotionally unstable already! Wow...I hope she goes all the way...she is so inspiring! Just the fact that she is choosing to go on in life, and not crawl into a hole and die, ( like i probably would ) is amazing! Love her!
I'm really hoping to be at my lifetime weight by October 1st, as my dad and I are taking a trip to NYC to see the Mets play the Astros! We are going to be able to get in the stadium before the gates open, and meet the players, take pics etc! It's a long story, which I sure you all don't want to hear! ;-) Anyway, I'm sure I'll be in pics, and ones like that, you show everybody, and I don't want to look FAT! I have to work super hard these next couple of weeks! See ya tomorrow!
