In the home stretch....Holding steady...

I don't know what happened... But I got really sick on Tuesday. I wanted to die. I started my morning fine, had breakfast with a friend...took the kids home, and then I got hit with a huge wave of nausea. I couldn't stand up, if I even looked at food I wanted to throw up. I made a great dinner earlier in the day and when Tim got home I couldn't stand to serve it. I was hot, I fell asleep, and when I woke up I broke into a deep sweat and then I felt a bit better so we went to the grocery store.
We got home, and I wanted to eat a little,( I had only eaten chicken at breakfast) so I had some baby sweet peppers and jello. My stomach calmed down, and the next morning I had some residual from it, but by the time 2 pm came around I felt better again. It was wierd...

So I'm stalled at the 150 mark... But I'm losing around my hips, butt n thighs because I was able to get on another pair of too small shorts, zip themup and not look like a stuffed sausage in them. So I added them to my vacation pile.

I was also on myfitnesspal.com yesterday...which has been tracking my weight since April. Not only have I lose the 11ish pounds on this diet, I have lost 17 pounds Total! That blew me away! Not to be vain, but I didn't think I had that much to lose. On the flip side, I am extremely proud, so even if I stall out at 150 at the end of this diet,i will be ok. Exercise and a healthy diet can take care of any extra pounds.

So enough about weight (although that consumes a good portion of my day because I am weighing portions and counting calories) my rundown of thepast few days...

It didn't look like Courtney was going to get into any of her classes this semester. But tuesday she came home with some hope, and her persistence is paying off for the math class... She is next on the list to get in. Today's class is a bit tougher, but the instructor wants her in, so we will see.
Softball is going pretty good... Our teams have picked up the pace and we are winning. Thank goodness!
As for the girls, they are coming into the season eager and pretty talented. I think we will have a strong team for sure. I am so proud of all of them, they are busting their butts and the ones that aren't trying as hard will be well acquainted with the bench. I only have 11, which is perfect for subbing and I already have a good idea on how they will rotate. But things can always change!
My sons team is struggling a bit... My son made like 3 errors in a scrimmage last week (which is not really like him, his defense is what they count on ) so today he gets a chance to redeem himself. Looking forward to it, even though I will miss tims game.

  1. Sounds like you might have had a small detox session. I have had it before. Your body can get flu like symptoms with nausea, fever and body aches when it is cleansing itself from impurities.
    Congrats on the weight loss! :)

  2. Whew! Whatever it was... I don't want it anymore! That was awful! And I think I got it all out, cuz when it was over I don't think there was ANYTHING left in my system, if you know what I mean ;)

    Thank you! I feel really good! And Tim has been checking on me this week several times a day to make sure I feel okay.

  3. No, you're not vain. You really didn't have anything you needed to lose. You have all that wonderful height. The shorter people like me can't even gain 3 pounds without the whole world noticing. :(
