Valentines Day!

We had a great Valentine's Day. On Friday the kids and I went to a playgroup party. It was lots of fun! We decorated bags and cupcakes. Then we exchanged valentines. Persephone just loves going to Abby's house to play. It was a great party.

I wanted to do something special for Jackson because he had been having a hard week. So, on Friday I sent him some flowers. He was very happy and so was I. We had a great date on Saturday (before the rush). It was a wonderful weekend.

Our little Darlings

I though it would be nice for the family to post some pictures of Persephone and Orion together since I haven't had any good ones. So these are my little darlings. We love them so much.

My Diet

I weighed in today and I couldn't beleive it. I weigh 139 lbs. I lost four lbs. I am so glad that I am sticking to this and I really can tell the difference. I feel better and look better. So, I have been on it for about a month and I have some pictures finally. Jackson says you can't see much of a difference but I can but that is just me. I can't wait for this to get better and better.

Wednesday

Well, on Wednesday this week. I was trying to get the kids to play in their room by themselves. I was really exhausted and fell asleep on the couch (not for very long). At about 4:10 pm I decidedto go and get them ready to go get Jackson from work. This is what I found. It looked like a wet wipe bomb had gone off in their room. If you look over in the entrance to the closet you can see about a whole bags worth. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to clean it all up. I was late to get Jackson and he thought the whole thing was hilarious. I was not laughing at all. So, now things have been moved and put in a better place. No more wet wipe bombs for this mom.

My Diet

Well, not much has been happening in the family. So, I am here to give you an update about my diet. I only lost one pound this week but that is normal. So, I have lost a total of six pounds in two and a half weeks. I am feeling really confident and energized. I feel less tired and just am able to do a lot more. I am not giving up. I mean I really want to look great for that Hawaii vacation! I will post pictures when it is all over.

My Diet

Well, it was been a week since I started back up on the diet and you will not believe it I lost four lbs! I am so excited. I know that on this program alot of people say that you loose alot of weight the first week and that it will calm down but I never expected that much. I am really motivated and I hope that this contuinues to be a great success. (Oh and our New Year's was great. We went to a family party and had a great time. It was just the two of us at home when the ball dropped. We both hope this is a great year of wonderful changes for everyone!) (Pics to come later)

My Diet

Well, on Sunday I started my Nutrisystem diet. I was so excited. The first day was great! All of the food that I picked out that day tasted great. I was really surprised. I mean it's a diet. I really wasn't expecting much. The second day was not that great. I picked out some gross ones. Then on the third day the most unexpected thing happened. I took Persephone to school and I was not feeling all that great. Jackson and I thought that it was just my body ajusting to the diet. I had a tempurature of 100.9 that night. I was expecting to get better but the next day I was having a really hard time eating at all. Now, I know what your thinking at this point "The diet has made her sick." Nope. I had gotten some sort of stomach flu. I called and talked to a couselor and they said that the diet would not do that and recommended that I go off it till I get better. So, now four days later I am still feeling crummy but hopefully I can get back on track Sunday and lose these 28 lbs. (Yeah, I lost two lbs while I was sick. I was so sick I couldn't even eat most of the day.) Lets hope for the best of success!
