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!

Happy March to All!

                                                                   

 

I just wanted to say, "Whew, Feb. is over and March is here!"  Don't forget that St. Patty's day is just around the corner!!!!  Happy March everyone!!!

Diets...

I'm starting a diet tomorrow.  It's nothing huge though.  No carb counting or starving techniques.  I'm just going to do a SlimFast diet.  I've looked at so many others and I just feel more comfortable going with SlimFast.  I'm going to give it a 2 week trial run and see how it goes.  If it works then great, if not then I'll go back to the drawing board.  I just get so frustrated so easily.  I'm currently at a weight that I have never been at in my life.  And I never wanted to weigh this much unless I was pregnant.  So, I definately don't want to get pregnant at this weight!  I want to lose about 12 pounds.  I'm hoping to lose atleast 3 the first week.  Or atleast go down a pant size by the end of the two weeks.  That's reasonable right?  I'll still be doing water aerobics 3 times a week and I'll also be walking a mile or two 3 times a week.  I'll do yoga 2 times a week (Kent is going to join me those two days).  I'll also do my muscle toning on the days I'm not walking.  My abs workouts will probably be done with my toning.  Sounds like a lot doesn't it.  Not really...I've beening doing most of this for a month now.  Well, except the yoga...I was doing it but just got away from it for a bit.  But I'm starting it back up soon!  I'll let yall know how it all turns out.  Here hoping I am 3 pounds lighter this time next week!

Beautiful Weather!

The weather is so pretty here!  Highs in the high 60's and the sun is shining!!!  I just love it.  I have all my doors open and windows up.  I just love it when it's cool outside and I can raise all the windows and just enjoy the cool breeze that blows through!  I have been outside some today cleaning the inside of my car.  It needed it so badly!  I also went out there to pull up my tulips I got for Valentine's Day.  I pulled all of them out of the pot and wrapped them up in newspaper until I can plant them in the fall.  I wish I had already planted some last fall so I could enjoy them this spring.  Oh well.  I am still going to plant some flowers come late March or early April.  I can't wait!  I have also done some cleaning at my house.  I vacummed and swept all the floors.  I am about to go and dust..I think.  We'll see.  For the most part I am just going to roam around my house and clean as I go I guess.  Kent is at work, so I am going to have to keep myself busy.  Well, that is all for now, I will update later!

Stephen Joseph Part 1

Today is the day I have been anxiously waiting to get here.  Now that it is finally here, I am sad.  But it's not as tough as I had told myself it would be.  Yet, it's only been 30 minutes into the day so far.  I wanted to share with you a poem that I wrote after my second miscarriage.  I wrote it for both of my babies that have already gone to heaven. 

 I also want to thank everyone who has supported Kent and me through this tough time in our lives.  Without yall it would have been much, much, harder.  So thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! 

All though I will never have the chance to see my baby, I will always think of him and know that God plans were for him to be in heaven. 
It's now time for me to heal and and move on.  Stephen will always always hold a special place in my heart.

"To My Baby Born Angel"

I was so happy to know you were here

That soon your heartbeat I would hear

But never a chance did I get

Cause in heaven for you was a better fit

For a short while you were my sunshine

And in my heart I will always call you mine

Although you are not here for me to see

I know you are in heaven with glee

You are safe in the arms of God

Where you will sweetly and gently nod

Please my baby never forget

That here on earth I will sit

And think of you as the day goes through

That you are my baby and I love you

Please start with Part 1 below...

Tonight has been fun, but for a moment I just couldn't help but be sad.  It hit me that Friday is the day that I have wished would just go away.  To my surprise, I have been good this whole week and I hope to continue that tradition as we go on to Friday.  But tonight I was watching TV and someone mention the idea of they might be pregnant...and it was like whoa now...  I'll just be glad when it all passes...  On a good note...I'll go to the doctor next week.  Which hopefully will jumpstart a new road to pregnancy!  I'm really looking forward to it.  I was telling Kent that I have a good feeling about it.  I don't want to get my hopes up or anything but right now I just have peace about it all.  And honestly I think everything will be OK.  After two miscarriages I'm looking forward to seeing why God decided to allow that to happen.  I mean there has to be something great out there.  I'm looking forward to seeing the child God does allow me to have.  That baby is truly going to be a special, special miracle!  Well, that is all for...signing off from the house of ice....this is Emily your cute little icecube reporter!
