I have officially started the workout phase! I finally got off my rear and joined a gym that is available to me at a discount thru my work. So, yesterday and today I went and did a 1/2 hr on the treadmill and a 1/2 hr on the stationary bikes. I hope that I can keep it up at least 3 times! (:

Dear Phatties

Well this will be my first time writting to phatties so here we go! People that are not truly fat have no idea what it is like to be so. For example my sister patty she has never really been fat maybe just a little over weight but never really fat, don't get me wrong I love her to death but shut your mouth already. I love it when you are fat and people say, or rather my sister says you should not eat that, or they look at you like why are you eating that when you look like this. Are they really that unaware that we do not realize what it is that we or me rather look like, or how I feel packing around 100 extra pounds or what it does to my self esteem or the fact that most days it just feels like it would be easier to go jump off a bridge than to have to deal with the fact that I let my self get this way. Not that I am scoping out bridges or anything, but the fact is sometimes it would just be nice if people said hey you look really nice today or hey I love you for who you are!!! Anyway I aprreciate Bobi inviting me to this blog and I will try not to be to serious in the future since that is just not who I am. But I figure if I just get it all out in the open now I can laugh about it later. Here are my stats:
Stay at home Mom
Have 4 children
i am 5 "2 (barely)
I weigh 250 lbs
I want to loose 100 lbs

Maybe public humiliation will motivate me enough. I don't know that I have said what my real weight is in years, so there you all go. Thanks for listening or rather reading!!!

Anyone else in the workout dumps?

I don't know what my problem is but I cannot seem to get back into the whole working out thing! I was doing so good. I am going to have to force myself to start up again. But right now I know that I need a couple more days off or I will not be able to do it! So in the next couple days, I will decide on a start day. Hopefully the weather here will get a bit nicer and I will feel a bit more motivated. If I have not posted a new start day by Friday, someone please call me and tell me to get with it!

FeEliNg ThE bUrN!!!

I LOVE my bike tailor that we found at DI. I have gone on a bike ride everyday for the last three days and today we did a longer one. I am feeling the burn! I love it. I am hoping this is the push that I need. I am determined to go on a bike ride everyday with my kids after my class.

I'm So Excited

"And I just can't hide it (no, no, no) I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!!"

It's official, I have lost 20 pounds!! I am so excited. I feel GREAT!!! The only problem I am having now, some things are too big. But I am hoping this weekend I can go get me a few new things.

I would love to lose 5 - 10 more pounds, but we will see how it goes. I am in no hurry to lose that and if it takes 3, 4, 6, 12 months, then I am ok with that, just as long as I don't gain any back.

birthdays....

Last night we had Kyler's birthday party...
I ate a giant piece of cake!
But that's what you're supposed to do at a birthday party right?! :)
Hope everyone is doing good with their goals!

Start New

Well, I WAS doing really good for a couple of weeks. The last couple of days have NOT been good! I'm thinking that I need to start new and get back in the mindset. NO MORE BAKING (well, except cakes for others to eat)! That is my 1 goal for this next week...Wish me luck.

In need of a shove...

Okay... I haven't been doing as good as I would have liked lately. I haven't gained anything and I haven't lost anything, so I'm okay with that. But seriously, I might need a shove in the right direction! When you get out of the habit and take a couple days off from exercising, why is it so dang hard to get back with the program again!?! I am bound and determined to work out tonight. It will happen!

A Few Days

WoW!! It's been a few days since anyone has posted. Is it because we aren't doing good and so we have nothing to post or is it because we are so busy. I hope its because we are just busy.

I have been doing pretty good. Life got really hectic for awhile there and so I hate to say this, but exercising was put on the back burner. And then this week I had oral surgery and so its been put off once again. But I haven't gained anything and I've lost almost another pound. This week, I am hoping I can lose a little more since my eating has been limited to soft foods for a few days.

I wish all of you the best with your individual goals and dieting. I know we all have our good days and our bad days. But just remember, even if it's a bad day, there's always something good that has happened. We just need to look for the good in each day.

Peeps

I like peeps. The end

*only 28 calories per peep. I can do that.

Lazy Lazy Lazy Lazy

I suck.  Thats all there is too it. 

I haven't worked on a single goal since my last post. 

But I was a little

just a little

encourage when I read the post right before I started mine.    

Glad to know I'm not the only who thought this blog would help...but still not working. 

I thought setting a date for family pictures would be a little motivating.  NoPe that didn't help either.  

Buying easter candy I don't like. NoPe that didn't help either. 

YIKES I better get some motivation from SOMEWHERE!!

Discouraged

I thought having this blog and you wonderful ladies would help me.....but I am really struggling.
I put on a pair of pants today and they were tighter than last time I put them on.
Discouraged....

Spring Break

So I was so excited to have spring break, Easter, and company coming to visit! Week long preparations, cleaning like crazy, and trying extra hard to eat good so I could enjoy a good Easter dinner was what I've been up to. Finally the day comes, I loved all the food! The company was great! Then I got SICK! I caught my daugher's stomach bug she had a couple of days earlier... So I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to eat ham again.... But on a positive side, I think that I didn't digest nearly as many calories as I planned. Feeling much better now. Ready to start a new week.

Dear Mother Nature...

Dear Mother Nature,
Ya know, it's a lot harder to eat good when the weather just makes me want to stay at home, be gloomy, and EAT comfort food all day long! Please stop making it snow, and send us some beautiful warm sunshine... PLEASE!
With Love,
Bobi

Happy Easter!

Anyone else going to be eating way too much ham and dessert tomorrow for Easter Sunday Dinner?
HAPPY EASTER everyone!
