{Halloween 2009}

Here's the pics of My Love & I at the end of our night on Halloween.  I was such a dork and forgot to get a pic of me all night long.....and didn't even think to ask someone to take a pic of the two of us together!  ugh!  Oh well.....I thought of it when I got home.  lol  These were my two fav pics from the ones that we tried to take.  lol  :-D
We went to an adult costume party together after we took the kiddos trick-or-treating and we dropped the kiddos off at my parents house.  :-D  I can't recall ever going to a halloween party with Hubby as adults.  :-D  So that was a lot of fun.  Good times.  :-D

{Almost....}

Morning Weight: 138!!!

Last night I made the effort to go to bed early.....althought it was too much effort since I was already exhusted by 630 for some reason.....I went to bed by 930....I did get woken a little bit by a couple texts, but nothing I couldn't go back to sleep from.  Mr T was sleeping with me and I was tossing and turning.....he kept wanting to be really close to me and had to be touching me in some way.....like he thought I was going to leave or something.....so that was really uncomfortable for me.  THEN I got woken up by Mr T at 5 saying he was wet....yes he had peed in MY BED!  That was G.R.E.A.T.!  So I had to get up and clean him up and get him some clean clothes AND take care of my bed.....that was really fun. 
I had set my alarm for 6....I was going to get up and hopefully have enough energy to workout.  If not, I was trying to continue with getting back into the habit of getting up early again.  I realized that I was still really tired!  It was odd....I mean I knew I hadn't slept well, but still.....I shouldn't have been that tired.  So I told Mr T that it was still sleeping time and that he HAD to go back to sleep!  It took about 45 mins for him to go back to sleep, so I reached over and turned off my alarm....lol....yupp I SOOO wasn't getting up at 6 after that!  When Mr T woke up I still didn't want to get up.....I tried to keep him bed lol.....but he said one of his brothers was downstairs so I said he could go down there....but I told him that if he woke anyone else up that he'd get in trouble.....little did I know that everyone else was already up and that The Mr was already home from work even.....when I looked at the time it was 740 already!  I couldn't believe I had slept that long and was still tired!!!  So I got up....lol....But the weird thing is that yesterday I was really starting to feel better and then today I'm feeling much much worse!  I don't get it.  My Tante gave me some really neat teas though since I told her that I've been drinking alot of teas lately.  One of them is a cold & flu one.....so I'm letting that brew right now and I'm going to be giving that a try.  :-D  I am just so out of it today.....

{REALLY?!?!}

Morning Weight: 139!!!
Today's Activities:  Just more CLEANING!

First of all, yesterday I did end up eating some of that halloween candy.....I don't get too down on myself when this happens.....I think that is just counter productive for someone that is an emotional eater.....then you're just going to eat even more of it because you're beating yourself up for eating it in the first place. 
Well, this morning I stepped on the scale and I was 139!!!  Yes you heard correctly!!!  I couldn't believe it!  I mean....I have been trying to watch myself with my other choices if I've eatch some of that candy, but not be too hard on myself....still got to be healthy ya know.  So that felt really great!  lol  To say the least!  :-)
Housework is a never-ending job.....I think that is especially true when you have four boys LOL  I am thankfull that I have choosen to teach our boys to help the family....but it's still a learning process.....for all of us.  lol  But I know that as they get older we will enjoy it more....any future room mates will enjoy it....and any future spouses will enjoy it too.  :-D
Today the boys are going to go and spend some time with my parents while I go and spend some time with my Tante......I'm really looking forward to that.  A little kids free time.....girl/adult time.....aaahhhhh......

{Emotional Eating....}

This is something that I have been working really hard on.....I was doing really really well.....but then lately with everything going on and with all the stress around here......and all the HALLOWEEN CANDY!!!!......I haven't been doing too hot with it!  It's pretty frustrating.  I know that I'm emotionally eating while I'm doing it.....crude even when I'm looking at all that candy and picking which one I'm going to START with!  UGH!!!  But I end up eating it anyway.....and usually more than one.....and then the next time the kids want another piece of candy I'm right back at it again.
Today I haven't done too bad actually.....the kids have had a few pieces so far....and I haven't.  Yes, I know the day isn't over......and it definately hasn't been stress free.  In fact it looks like my stress in increasing AGAIN.  But I didn't turn to the candy.....and I'm not going to say 'yet'.  I did eat one small piece of a fruit by the foot....not too bad if I do say so myself.  lol 
Yesterday I got up at 7, and this morning I got up at 630....I even went to bed later last night cuz I didn't realize what time it was.  Hubby and I were actually spending time together.....I was tired, but since I'm always tired I didn't think anything of it, then when I actually looked at the clock it was already 11 and I started getting ready for bed!  lol  We had a nice evening.....and it was something that we both really needed.
Today hasn't been that great AT ALL though.  Won't go into details....mainly cuz I honestly don't even know many details....not that I post a lot of details on here.  I think I do about some things....I just don't want to about what's going on right now.
SO that's that for now.....

{Step One.....}

Morning Weight: 141

Well, I went to bed at a decent time last night.....and I set my alarm and got up much earlier than I actually needed to this morning before my DR appts.  I didn't workout......I'm still pretty drained with everything going on and from still getting over being sick.  But I did take a shower and take my time getting dressed and ready......that felt really nice. 
There was a HUGE mix up with my second DR appt that was really upsetting.  I had made my appt online....and I KNOW I had made it for THIS morning for right after my first appt.....so when I went to go check in they told me that my appt was YESTERDAY!!!!  I was SOOOO upset.  So he was able to reschedule me for Tuesday, but that still means that I have to spend the stinking $ on gas to drive all the way out there again, and I have to weight until Tuesday when I thought I was going to figure things out today.  UGH
So I did step one.....and I'll do the same thing tonight....I don't know if I'll be able to get up AND workout tomorrow.....but I'll be able to do it here soon.  :-)  I have decided that I'm going to redo my pictures and measurements when I start my workout again....I'm also going to add a side picture this time cuz the front picture just doesn't show how much work I was doing on my stomach.  lol  :-)  I'll get back  I know I will :-)

{Looking for Motivation.....}

With everything that has been going on......I seriously just haven't had the motivation to workout.  There's a part of me that wants to.....a little voice inside me....that tells me not to eat that halloween candy....that if I don't start workingout again SOON....that I'm going to back track and loose all that amazing work that I worked SO HARD to accomplish!!!!  UGH!!!  And I REALLY don't want to do that!!! 
Last night I was finally able to lay down for a little bit to sleep!  lol  Yah I know....silly....but that means that I was able to get a little bit better sleep last night.....and I'm starting to feel a 'little' bit better with my cold. 
So I'm thinking that if I can sleep tonight like I was able to sleep last night that I'll at least get up early in the morning.....like I was doing.....don't know if I'll feel well enough to workout....but getting back into the habit of getting up early is a great start.  :-D
