Windows up!

The windows are up and the sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful blue.  It's amazing how the weather can change so quickly.  The temp. is a little lower than it has been, but it's still so nice outside.  I can't wait until it's planting time.  I have so many ideas for my flower bed.  I've even thought about putting flowers around my mail box.  But I'm afraid my post lady might run over them.  But either way, I can't wait to plant!  I also can't wait until it's warm enough to open the pool.  Well, my mother-in-law's pool.  That way I can lay out in the sun and it can be natural tanning.  Plus, if I get pregnant (fingers crossed) that will be the only way to tan for me...no more tanning bed.  OOOO I can't wait!!!!!

My dieting today has gone as usual.  I have had my shake for breakfast.  I will be having lunch as soon as I exercise.  Today is abs and muscle toning.  I weigh in tomorrow.  I'm hoping to see some pounds gone.  And I am going to see how many inches in my tummy area that I have lost...if any....  I'll let yall know how it goes!  Sundays are my diet off days.  WOOHOO!  I can't wait!!!!

Well, that is all for now.  I'm off to iron, exercise, and have lunch.  Yall be good and have a good day!!!!  BYEEEE!

Weather/ Day 5 of Dieting

                                           

The weather is being such a pain.  I went to water aerobics and there was a lady there that said the weather may get bad tonight.  So, I hurry home afterwards and turn on the TV and all it is saying is some Thunderstorms.  Which that is the national weather channel.  The local stations are more accurate.  But I didn't look on any of those.  I like storms but I don't like tornados.  I think they are an awesome show of nature, but when people get hurt or killed it's just not cool anymore.

Today so far, I have had my shake for breakfast and my bar for lunch.  I think we will be eating Subway tonight.  I have a craving for it.  So, chances are we will be eating there.  I walked 2 miles this morning and then swam a couple of labs.  I then did an hour of water aerobics and came home.  Once I got home I decided to clean a little bit.  I just wiped counter tops off and swept and vacummed.  I dusted a little and windex the mirror in the bathroom.  I cleaned the bathroom a little bit and just straightened everything up in the house.  Nothing major.  It only took me about 30 minutes.  Not too bad.

Well, I guess that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!

Day Four of Dieting!

Well, I'm on day four of my wonderful dieting experience.  I can honestly say that it has gotten easier as the days go on.  Those first two days, my stomach was having to adjust to the shortage of food.  Not that I was starving myself or anything.  But I was cutting down the portions to the proper sizes.  And my stomach wasn't happy that it wasn't getting fed all the time.  Anywho, today it was pretty easy.  I was busy most of it so that helped!  I did my muscle toning and my abs today. 

I went to the doctor today.  It was such a good visit!  My doctor showed me all my lab work from when I gave them blood to test on.  He told me that I had low progesterone.  If anyone HAD to have a problem then low progesterone was the problem to have.  It can easily be fixed!  He is putting me on 50 mg of clomid on days 2-6.  And then if I get pregnant he told me to immediately start taking progesterone.  So, hopefully we will be on our way and soon enough have a baby on the way!!!  YAY!!!  Well, that is all for now!

Day Three of Dieting

Well, my day three of dieting has come to an end.  Today, I walked two miles and did water aerobics.  I didn't drink as much water as I probably should, but after drinking it constantly I just had to take a break!  I drank my SlimFast shake for breakfast and had a bar for lunch.  I have drunk about a total of 160z of water today (told yall I have been bad at that).  I'm going to try and get anothe 12-20oz in before bed tonight.  That was basically my dieting for the day.

The rest of my day consisted of me going to Wally World.  I needed to pick up a few things.  It was nice getting out and just enjoying the weather.  Tomorrow is suppose to be pretty too.  I'm looking forward to it.  When I got home I cleaned the house up a bit and cleaned out the litter box (ick).  And now my house looks so good.  My windows are up and I can hear all the little noises.  The breeze that blows through feels so good.  I love the way my house smells when I have the windows up.  It smells fresh.  Especially after being closed up for most of the winter.  Back to my day...  I cooked supper.  We had ham, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese.  It was good...if I do say so myself.  And now we are just watching TV.  I plan on painting my nails tonight sometime.  I don't want to go to the doctor tomorrow with ugly toenails and fingernails.  Anywho, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

Nervous

For whatever reason, I just got so nervous about my doctor's visit Thursday.  I was looking at my clock and it said 12:00am.  And I thought well tomorrow (since it's now Wednesday) I will be going back to the doctor and he will then give us the green light to start trying to have a baby again.  And it just hit me...I'm going back down that road where I am in control of nothing and how I am still at some risk of having a miscarriage again.  It's frightening to me.  I just honestly see no way of getting over another miscarriage.  It just seems impossible to me.  I just don't want to go through that again.  I just don't.

Day Two of Dieting

Well, its day two of my dieting.  Today I had a French Vanilla shake.  It was HORRIBLE!  I'm sorry but I will just have to waste my money on those, because I'm not drinking another one!  It by no means was good!  And since it was so bad I wasn't ever really satisfied.  So, I starved most of the day.  I had a SlimFast bar for lunch.  For an afternoon snack I had some raisins.  I have drunk about 36oz of water today.  I'm still not up to the needed 68oz of water a day, but I'm getting there.  Yesterday I had a total of 40oz of water.  By tonight I hope to get about 48oz in.  We'll see.  My bladder is working over time...that is for sure!  Today I did my muscle toning and my abs.  It really didn't feel like a good workout.  But it may have just been my mood.  My mood today, hasn't been so great.  I guess with all the rain and stuff, I just feel sluggish.  I'm hoping that will all pass soon!  These next few days are suppose to be great.  And by Thursday the high temp. is supposed to get to 80!!  WOOHOO!  I can't wait!  Well, that is all for today.  I'm fixing to go hop in the tanning bed.  Yall be good and I'll talk with yall later!!!

Day One of Losing Weight

Well, for the most part today was pretty good.  I had a SlimFast shake in the morning and then went and walked about a mile and a half.  I then got in the pool and did two laps.  After that I did my water aerobics.  It was a good workout.  After exercising I came home and drank what seems like a gallon of water.  Which was followed by numerous trips to the bathroom.  I then had a SlimFast bar with 12oz of water for lunch.  It was quiet filling to be honest.  After lunch, Kent and I did yoga together.  We decided on his two off days from weight lifting that we would do yoga together.  It was quiet funny.  But it really did work my body.  Now, I am just relaxing after my long day of work outs.

Today at water aerobics one of the directors of the rec center asked me if I would be interested in teaching a yoga class there two days a week.  I would have to get certified to do it and plus it costs a lot to get certified.  I told them I would be interested in doing it.  But now I'm not so sure.  I know I could do it, but it's just getting all the stuff in line to do it.  I'm a little scared about how I would get my certification and all.  I guess I can talk more about it with them later on in the week.  We'll just see how it goes.

Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!  BYEEEEE!
