Update...

Okay so I'm down 8.7 lbs!!! And I'm getting more and more excited and optimistic about my progress.... So we're still on the right path...


On to the next thing I'm excited about, my beautiful iPad2!!! It's so much thinner than my first one and it's better.... I stood outside in the cold on Friday @Partridge Creek for 3 hours and 15 minutes before entering the warmth of "Apple World" and even though before I got inside the store one of the sweet Apple Techs came out and started passing out tickets, and I was informed that the version I thought (and convinced Michelle) I needed to get without breaking the bank they were out of!! I still stood there waiting and trying to figured out how I was gonna explain spending the extra $200 for the one I was gonna have to get now?!? I got inside and said "I would like to have the white one please!!" With the biggest smile on my face!! And while I waited for him to go get the white one, he came back and informed me that he only had the white if I wanted the "3G" model, now I'm thinking I told Michelle I wouldn't get that model, because that would create another bill, but I can't say no!!! So I proudly handed him my debit card and said thank you!!! I was the proudest woman on earth walking out of the store with my bag in hand!! Oh yeah, forgot to say I got the pretty "pink smart cover" to go with it (I'm a girlie girl!!)

Now I sit here typing this blog on my new iPad2!!!!

Operation 25 (18.7) lbs. continues

Okay so I've been doing well all week and I lost 6.3 lbs!!! Hooray!!! But if you only knew the starvation I went through this week you would cry for me?!?! I limited my caloric intake to 1000, but I ate under 700 and some days it was 375!!?? Scream for me!!! But I also exercised 3 days, yes 3 days for 45 minutes to an hour!? I actually felt so much better... Another reason to feel sad for me, is this week in my baking class we made Danishes and Croissants?!?! and I didn't eat any in class, but I shared one small croissant with Michelle when I got home. I gave all the rest of them away to friends, coworkers and strangers!? I think I'm doing so well....

Now on the baby end, I'm feeling so much more relaxed about the process (now that I'm not in it!?!?) I really feel that I will be so much better when we try again... Only about 51 more days til we'll be trying again!!!

So this week starts Lent, I have been contemplating what I should give up that would be a sacrifice and I have decided I will give up Television, Yes TV! Who would do something like that?!? Me, because this "idiot box" sucks so many hours of productive from me. I'm also debating hard about giving up social networking (Facebook, Twitter) but that's harder to do.... But I have 3 more days to decide for sure...

Weekend Trip...

Okay so we went to Indianapolis this weekend so Michelle could try out for The Biggest Loser.... It was a great drive and we talked and laughed the whole ride... Saturday morning we got up and went to the audition, luckily for us Michelle had a VIP Pass so we didn't have to wait in any long lines... She didn't make it but it was fun trying!!

So remember I started "Operation 25" Friday morning... So this weekend I didn't drink any soda only water. I ate very lightly and I've been very restricted with what I would eat... Haven't had any real cravings for sweets so that's great!!!

I want to have good news to tell you but Friday of this week... Oh yeah!! We went to the gym yesterday and worked out, Michelle tried to kill me!!! So I think I'm gonna just go on my own from now on....

This morning I woke up sad, thinking that I was too old to get pregnant.... I have these thoughts a lot now that my birthday has come and gone.... It's like something inside me that keeps telling me that I'm older now.... But my doctor isn't telling me that, he keeps telling me I can have a baby.... So I have to keep believing that and keep pushing forward...

Operation 25 lbs...

Okay so I know a lot of you are wondering what's going on with my journey... Well I've decided that I want to lose 25 lbs. before we try again. I know that you're thinking "she doesn't need to lose weight" well thank you!!! But I do!!! And from reading books and talking to doctors being obese is a hindrance to becoming pregnant. So if I'm willing to spend money to become pregnant, I think I can spend some time losing weight. So as of today I'm 237.2 lbs (WOW!!) So I think if I can get 25 lbs. off it will make it easier for me to get pregnant.

Also, I want to be healthy while I'm pregnant. So wish me luck and pray for me. I will do better with keeping up this blog with info and my journey (both journeys)....


So I plan to give up soda, sweets (maybe minimize) try not to eat any fried foods and eat more fruits and vegetables... This is my hardest challenge ever....

I'm tempted to put a picture on here so you can see my progress.... Working up the nerves... I will have Michelle take a picture tonight and when I get the nerves I'll put it up here...
