What? Forgot to post?

you naughty kitten..now you shall have no pie.. hahahaa




Sorry friends, I haven't been posting and well don't know why other than I'm embarrassed a bit for not having made any progress due to tending to eat snacks at night. It's my downfall and I know it! Some days I want to snack, others I want to be fit and loose weight. In the dictionary, under yo-yo, you see me! LOL

Could it be because we're on vacation and kids want food 24/7? Could it be this blasted flu I can't shake? Could it be I'm a whiner?? hahahahaa

Time to blast the fat and start getting serious. If you've not ever heard of it, I have these dvds called TurboJam! and they are a BLAST! They work you out as if you've done hundreds of situps and worked out in a gym with all the latest equipment only you DON"T! It's a workout involving holding muscles in appropriately, punches, kicks, jabs, dance, yoga all to hip urban music. I'm not a huge urban hip music fan. BUT it works to keep my moving and psyched.

Exciting Statistics!

No, I'm not this huge mathematics fan! OHh no!! I just love my current stats!

OK On December 13 I was 212 lbs.

Bust 45"
Chest 40"
Waist 41"
Hips 50"
L. arm 14
R. arm 13.5
L thigh 21
R thigh 22.5

TODAY 202.5 lbs! whoo hoooo
Bust 44
Chest 38!
Waist 38!
Hips 47!!
L. arm 13
R. arm 12.5
L. thigh 20
R. thigh 19.25

That's 10 lbs lost, 1 inch off the bust, 2" inches off bust, 3" off waist and 3" off hips! Whooo hooo!!!

Tropical treat while I'm frrrreeeeezing!!

I am in love! While my husband is off to work, I'm entertaining something so tropical..so divine! It's Herbalife's Pina Colada Shake mix!! Today I made it with Almond milk, the mix,1 tsp of herbal concentrate (for a kick) and 1/2 a small banana. OH my gosh! It should be illegal!! It's SO good!! Makes living my life a whole lot easier!

I'm still hanging out at @ 204 lbs..I guess I'll take it, I was 216 before Christmas! Baby steps...baby steps...

The heart of how I feel today.

Well the weekend's here and I've survived another week! I got my pina colada herbalife formula 1 shakes this week and boy is that yummy, should be illegal!! LOL shhhhh!!

I haven't been following the plan to the letter so I'm shocked that my weight is still at 206, I have been a lot more active than I used to be so I think that's part of it.

I posted the heart above because, well, I love things like that, my home has lots of floral arrangements or naturally beautiful elements. I love flowers, homey things, french country etc. I also posted the heart to remind me to take care of mine and to exercise and get this weight off.

I'm super tired tonight so this is short but sweet. (hehehee just like meeeee)!!! LOL

'til later...

MMMmmmmmm Kitty Loves Those Shakes!

In the interest of fairness..

This is Nathanael

My sweet little man!

It's finally winter!!

We got a good dose of snow today, freezing rain too, it was one of those stay inside and have feel good warm foods etc. It was Martin Luther King Jr day and the kids didn't have school so it was a housefull here.

I was on the phone, while serving up lunch and someone knocks on the door. It was the FedEx deliverer with my new Herbalife Shakes. I got Pina Colada this time. Tomorrow I'll have that with some ice and a piece or two of pineapple. Yummers, I can't wait!!

Again, that's what's so cool about this way of life, it's so yum! I can't describe it, it's smooth, delicious and filling. I know I need to workout quite a bit more. I'm loosing weight, yes, but not exactly looking in shape!

I need to put the butt into gear, find the time for ME and get busy!! Tomorrow I have therapists coming for my youngest son, Nathanael. He was blessed with an extra chromosome so he has what's known as Down Syndrome and so we get many wonderful visitors regularly, therapists, developmental educators etc... Between our visits and places I have to go to tomorrow I HAVE to fit in that workout!

I love to do TurboJam! Check this out!

Today a New Day Dawns

I was just talking with a friend a few minutes ago about parenting 110% and how that can be interpreted. What about ourselves? What do we give 110% to for ourselves? Probably precious little. Whenever I lament that my weight loss is going very slow or not at all? Who can claim ownership of this? What percent? ME and 110%. My point being, in all things we do, you basically get back what you put in. Me? I'm an eater..what do I get? No weight loss, no real gain either but still...

I'll have a day where I just feel like I like being all big and cuddly. Then I look in the mirror and go..nope! Don't like it!

I can't wait until I get my next shipment in from Herbalife. I'm getting a meal replacement supplement which is pina colada flavoured! Oooo lala. I can just see it, add some ice to the mix, some chunks of pineapple and that's going to be one good drink. That's what I like about following the herbalife weight loss plan. It's so danged yummy.

My current shake of choice: Cookies -n- cream
For an extra buzz: add 1/2 tsp of herbal concentrate to the shake
My Mood: Tired!
Goals: Get working out! It's the missing link!
