Pretend its....Weigh in Wednesday! 10.19.11

Baaahahha!!! I have been so busy keeping up with my farm.....................yes...my farm...meaning FARM freaking VILLE on facebook!! Why?!? No idea! The time I play this dumb game is interfering with my blogging! I need to quit but i don't know how lol!! Any HOOT! Lets get to the Weigh In:

So Since we are pretending it is 10.19.11 i thought you should know that in exactly 7 months i will be starting my last year of my twenties......just a lil info for you.

Last Week: 214.80
This Week: 214.40
Total Loss: 0.40
Goal Weight: 140.00
Left to Go: 74.40

EEk! I had a small loss this week and i am totally fine with it! I know what i did wrong (eat regular yummy ice cream) and now i will stick to my 1 point weight watchers fudge pops. LOL! I didn't meet my small goal for the week and that is ok! I am not going to beat myself up about a small loss. Because a loss is a loss and still weight off of my body, so i am HAPPY about that!

Let do some goals!

Small Goal (for the Week): To lose at least 3.00 lbs at 10.26.11 weigh in - I am going to keep the 3 lb goal for the week BECAUSE i can! Lets DO THIS! LOL

These will be staying the same also
Medium Goal (for the Month): To lose 10.00 lbs by 11.12.11 (starting small...LOL)
Large Goal: to have lost 50 lbs in 20 weeks (2.5 lbs per week)

Right now i am in a good head space....thank you for all your supporting comments and everything!

love yer faces!

Episode TwentyTWO

I am not sure what is going on with my comments on here, it is starting to bother me....


This past weekend I took the weekend off of Weight Watchers (DON'T WORRY i was back on track on monday) due to having so many thing going on.....




Last Friday night came home and made dinner (weird), i made a weight watchers dinner: Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli. It was really good! The best part about it was I didn't eff it up. I am seriously not a cook! i think it will take me a while to get the hang of this but i'll take it slow. I so far have not made a meal every night. Obviously you can see from how often i post, i suck at committing to things, and i REALLY need to change that. I dont think i will be able to advance in ANYthing if i cant grasp that.


Potty Training


Yesterday (10/13/11) we started potty training DB, by we i mean gamma moogs and I. My idea was to take her to the bathroom every 15-30 minutes and sit her on the potty. During my shift, the evening, i think i am letting her sit there to long. What is the right length of time to let your kid sit on the pot...? So we'd take her potty and then once 30 minutes or so elapsed we got up....AN THEN...5 minutes into the waiting period she would pee in her diaper.....this basically happened all day. I though she pee'd once on my shift....i'm pretty sure she did. Then right before bed i took her to the potty and we waited it out....then i put an overnight diaper on her....and 5 minutes later she comes to me and this was our Conversation:


DB: "I pooped."
CS: "Excuse me?"
DB: "Yook" (turns around, points to and shows me her diaper bum)
**There was poop in there**
CS: "You pooped, why didnt you tell mommy, we just used the potty"
DB: "Poop"


I am not going to lie, i was upset, frustrated, irritated, etc. "Maybe she ISN'T ready for this" i thought. I am not so sure what to do now, i am going to keep the potty training in effect through the weekend. Yesterday was day one and kids NEED structure.....so my night and weekend are going to be spent in the bathroom....lol. We have a play date with EM tomorrow, we will keep the bathroom limited, but i really believe in here. I am the one who needs to be patient. i am going to take it day by day.


The Jill Foundation 

This weekend SUNDAY to be exact there is a benefit, in honer of my Aunt Jill! She was such an amazing woman! Before i get to the benefit i want to tell you a little about her. She was an amazing lady, a hair stylist, when she smiled there was this glisten, like a sparkle in her eye, she lit up a room. She was such a great mom. So kind and generous. She took me in when i was down, I was 18 just got out of a drug induced, abusive relationship. I decided to clean my life up, and to get literally clean i needed to get away...and she took me in.  My aunt passed away from breast cancer in 2004. I think about her every single day! Every single day since 2004....i really hope she knows how much of an impact she has had on my life. She is in heaven with my Gran (her mom) now, and both are not in pain anymore! I love and miss you both so much!!!!


The dual purpose of The Jill Foundation is to honor the memory of Jill Etzold Kester, a true friend and a talented and respected hairstylist, who was taken from us by breast cancer, and to help hairstylists whose lives have been affected by this devastating disease. 


Ok so this sunday is The Jill Foundation's 2nd Annual - Cut-A-Thon in Orange, CA


For $15.00 (Donation) you get a shampoo and a cut, also there is always a raffle, that is always a good time!


For ALL the info go to http://thejillfoundation.org/


You may also just donate there if you'd like, I'd like you to. Please and thank you!


Thank you in advance!

Weigh In Wednesday - 10.12.11

Ok i am not starting week 2 of weight watchers! I am not going to lie, this past week has been a bit challenging. I have been keeping on track for the most part...EXCEPT...over this past weekend, I took it off....LOL I had to give myself a day, which turned into two days, but i got right back on track on Monday. I actually love weight watchers, it's really great! Ok, ok so on to the Weigh in:


Last Week: 219.00
This Week: 214.80
Total Loss: 4.20
Goal Weight: 140.00
Left to Go: 74.80

I think 4.20 lbs is pretty awesome! I am going to introduce goals (small, medium, and large)


Small Goal (for the Week): To lose at least 3.00 lbs at 10.19.11 weigh in
Medium Goal (for the Month): To lose 10.00 lbs by 11.12.11 (starting small...LOL)
Large Goal: to have lost 50 lbs in 20 weeks

Don't fudge it....Budget....

I am really into being Debt free in my life, i want to share a budget tool with you:


I was just turned on to a website : www.mint.com


This website links to your bank account (only for viewing). It is a great tool for starting a budget and figuring out what you are actually spending your money on...


It is smart to name every single dollar of that paycheck you get, before you get it! 


I would say IMO creating a budget was the hardest part of starting my debt free lifestyle. It is hard to see where your money is actually going. When you think you are doing a great thing and only spending money on thing you 'Need' with the target shopping spree.....before you would have just wrote it off to "i have some extra money i can spend it" when in reality....the $150 bones you just dropped at target probably should have gone to the credit card that is almost maxed out....


I would suggest getting the book The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. I would also suggest to follow the first 3 steps to the tee. I cant tell you about my experience with the rest of the steps yet....well because i'm not there yet! LOL


(I personally use mint.com but with the lifestyle of the total money makeover.)  


There are going to be challenges and obstacles in your way as you go...but it is up to you to make the right choice of how you want to live in life. Do you want to pay crap for the rest of you life? Or do you want to be free? This will work if you make any $$ amount, its just up to you if you want to be different.


I wish you the best on you path to being debt free.

Weigh in....Thursday (This Week Only)

So I missed “Weigh in Wednesday” so I am going to fake like today is Wednesday, just to give you this update.

I signed up for Weight Watchers yesterday, Thank you to the Chunky Goddess for inspiring me. I am going to try this out! Let’s hope that it works wonders.  I am excited, but at the same time I feel like I am already failing…my head is like you want sweets…candy….bread….blah…blah….

I guess this is one of the many challenges of being a food addict.

I had to go to the dr a few weeks ago, as you all know, and when I weighed in I was 219 lbs, that is a 9 lb weight gain to the 40 lbs that I had lost previously. I know that my slight depression does have an impact on this gain, because with the depression comes eating. So while I am doing the Weight watchers I have to go over all the things in my head that are weighing on my back……I want to go back to school….i stress my parents out….they shouldn’t have to watch DB….will DB ever have a Father in her life….I wish DB’s father wasn't him…..will I ever find “The One”…..i don’t want DB to go through the same things in life that I did…..Am I ever going to find my way…..and this is just a small amount of CRAP that fills my head daily…..

I know I will never be the best with all this haze around me. So I will be working on one thing at a time, and if anyone has advice I am willing to hear! 

In conclusion, I will be starting Weigh in Wednesday again. Wish me luck! I need all the motivation I can get!

Starting Weight: 219.00

Goal Weigh: 140.00

Total Lbs to lose: 79.00

Total Lbs lost: 0.00

Dear Bloggy, 

It has been so long since i have written in you, i apologize...it is so hard to do this and work full time and be a mommy....i just have to make it mandatory in my life...(we'll see how that goes) 
This weekend was fun! Full of birthday parties....2 to be exact. and Both at bounce house places...which is completely awesome! Adults can jump also...great exercise! 


The one for ZD was at a place called Jumping Jacks, and the one for IR was at Pump it Up. We had so much fun that i think I am going to throw a joint party at Pump it up, for DB and I. We'll see if i have enough money then...HA.



We didn't do much of anything outside of that this weekend, besides the usual laundry. 


I have a pending blog that i keep going back to and writing a little more and then saving and exiting....i really need to finish it. 


I will have to write more later...


Sincerely, 
Cheapsoda
