Starting weight 372 lbs. on 12/5/11 I'm in week 15
last weeks weight
319.4
This weeks weight 318.
Loss of 1.4 lbs for the week Total
loss of 54.2
1.4................humm. Not bad but not what I was hoping for. I know I shouldn't complain. Over all it is an average of 3.6lbs. per week that I have lost since I started with the thing inside me. With PCOS I knew and was warned that getting rid of the weight would be hard. To me its like hitting concrete with a hammer, sometimes you get a little tiny splinter, the next time it comes off in a chunk. What I wish is that it would be like a cartoon. You know, one smack and it comes off in two pieces and underneath is this smoking hot babe. I want it so that when my husband sees me his mouth drops open and starts drooling. My fantasy continues with him chasing me around the house and me squealing with laughter and then letting him catch me! OK, I enough of that! I just listened to a news story about that book that everyone is talking about "50 Shades of Grey" its sounds like something I want to read. I ran to my Nook and damn thing is dead! So now its on the charger so I can upload this book! What are you all reading? I know the Hunger Games is being talked about a lot now. I need to get those also. I will probably wait to read those this summer when we are camping. Any others that I need to upload?

Spring Fever!
The weather has been absolutely fantastic here the last week. As I sit here and reflect on the last week as I sip my coffee I've been thinking of how my life has changed in just a little over 3 months.
I have been spending SO much more time doing fun stuff with the kids. I was outside with them almost every day last week. We were going on walks after dinner and watching the nature and how it changes with spring. The grass is turning green. Watching the birds make their nest in the trees in our grove. Seeing the tracks of all the animals down by the stream and guessing what kind they are. Listening to the different birds and listening to how their chirps are different (I need to get a book). I am becoming so much more of a plugged in mom. I've learned how to listen better. I heard my 4 year old when he came home from school last week and talked about the leprechaun that was creating big messes in his room when they went out to recess. So I took this a bit farther. Friday night we set a trap for the leprechaun at our house. We baited a trap with marshmallows for the little guy with a stick holding up a box. The next morning (St. Patty's Day) we were awoken to "MOM, MOM! The wheprican ate the smarshmallows! We got 'EM!" So the hubby and I got up, moved the furniture so all 5 of us could surround the box. The hubby had a broom to swat the bugger if needed. The look of anticipation on the kids' faces was priceless! I slowly lifted the box, but the little bugger got away! There were chocolate coins under the box though for the kids. They were so excited! I almost cried. Last year I would of never wanted to get out of bed like that. Last year I would of ate those chocolate coins of the kids. This year I haven't even thought about it! I was SO tired all the time just keeping up with the day to day things I needed to do. What have I missed out on? NO MORE! This weight loss is doing so much more for kids and husband than just me. I thought this only affected me. I was WRONG (thank God hubby doesn't read this!)
This summer is going to be SO much more fun! I have been scanning pinterest for things to do with my kids! We are going to be doing so much more!There are some really cool ideas for kids activities on there! I had NO idea! I renewed the zoo membership and we are going to go at least once a week! I have so many ideas!
Is this Spring Fever or weight loss? Combination of both? Does your brain have fat? Does it really cloud you that much? I feel like life is SO much more colorful! Although my hubby is looking at me like I'm crazy at time because his honey-do list is growing! I want to do so much more around the house! I can't wait to get my garden going this year. The last couple of years I have always wanted a big garden and we planted some,but then it falls to the way side because I hated sweating and being out in the heat. I KNOW that is going to be different this year! I need those veggies! I'm going to have a section just for the kids too!
Just typing this is getting me so excited I need to get going and move! I've got to run to the hardware store for some stuff. I'm painted the oldest new bedroom and redecorating it for him! He's shared a room with his little brother for long enough. He's going to move to the basement. Its going to be so cool when done. I'll post some pictures of it! Happy Hump Day everyone! Hoping that the Spring Fever is spreading among you all too!

BYOC! Dakota style!
BYOC brought to us by Drazil!
1. How do you feel about college? If you have kids or siblings - will you encourage or require them to go? How long did you go and what for?
I'm OK with college. I want my kids to go, if they want to. I didn't do the traditional 4 year college. I did a two year Votech school and got an assoc. degree in Financial services/accounting. I'll admit I have used it! I'm seriously thinking about going back to school in the fall. I would love to do some social work stuff. I feel the need to work with young girls who are pregnant and trying to decide on whether they should place a child for adoption or parent. I would also love to help couples in their adoption process. I just think I could go farther if I had some kind of schooling behind me. Its still in the mulling stages though. Don't know if I can leave my little ones just yet!
2. Pink or purple? Coke or Pepsi? Pen or pencil? Cursive or printing? Ketchup or mustard?
I prefer purple but love pink too. COKE!! oh, just typing that makes my mouth water. I have missed that smell and the bubbles and fizz. The burn in my throat. OH, how I have missed Coca-Cola! I love my mechanical pencils, especially if I'm doing accounting, I hate to fix mistakes if I wrote in pen. Don't like the mess! I mix my cursive and print. I'm crazy like that, like to mix it up. Ketchup!
3. If you could live in any generation - which one would it be?
Back to the 80's man! And this time........Jon Bon Jovi would end up in my bed! HA! a girl can dream can't she?
4. What do you sleep in?
Night shirts, not to long though (I HATE them getting tangled around my middle) Not to short, don't need my ass hanging out! But most of the time they lay on the end of the bed for a quick slip on. I like sleeping butt naked with my man!
5. Repeat question - summarize your week!
Weight loss hasn't been to bad, have made pretty good choices, but some not so good ones. Damn cheese balls! Weather has been super, so I have gotten outside to do more with the kids!

Friday Weigh-In!!
Starting weight 372 lbs. on 12/5/11 I'm in week 14
last weeks weight 321.2
This weeks weight 319.4
Loss of 1.8 lbs for the week Total loss of 52.8 I'm going with 53!
It's a loss! I'm happy with it but I know it could of been better! I went to Sam's Club for some stuff the other day and I bought my kids a container of White Cheddar Cheese balls and those DAMN things keep calling my name. 25 of those little puppy's have 160 calories! Why did I have to get those for the kids? I'm going to take them to the church on Sunday and put them in little bags for other kids to have for our spring carnival. Hopefully I won't wolf them down before then!
It has been GLORIOUS here this week! It has been in the 70's all week! I have been getting some spring cleaning done....just a little because I have been outside as much as possible with the kids! We have been walking. We live out in the country on a gravel road and its hard to walk on gravel, but I'm not going to let it stop me! I'd love to get my bike out but it hasn't been rode in years! I'm not so sure about riding it on gravel either! I don't think it matters as long as I get off my ass and get outside and move!
Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend and that the luck O'the Irish be with ya all!

Friday Weigh-In!
Starting weight 372 lbs. on 12/5/11 I'm in week 13
last weeks weight 324.6
This weeks weight 321.2!!!!
Loss of 3.4 lbs for the week Total loss of 51!
I am SO HAPPY that weight came off! Whew! I'm happy with this loss. I know that it didn't come on overnight, so it won't leave overnight. I have to keep telling myself that me being heavy was over 25 years in the making so taking 2 years to take it off is really no big deal. But over 50lbs! I'm now over a 1/4 of the way of where I want to be eventually. I don't know where I want to end up. Is that strange? I don't know how much I want to weigh. I told my Dr. it wasn't about a number, it was more of a feeling. But now I wonder if I'm concentrating to much on numbers. I just want to feel good, I want to fly without being anxious about fitting in the seat. I want to ride amusement park rides with my kids. I want to snow ski again. Where is that? I don't think I would be comfortable being a size 6 or 8. I think I'm more of a size 12 girl. Maybe even a 14. How do we know where we want to stop? How did you know where you want to be? Or when you got there? Has anyone ever said, "I want to be 160 lbs" but then you get to 180 and then say, oh, that's enough. I think I look fine. Is that a cop out? Do I need to push myself to a certain weight? I'm I cutting myself short? I keep hearing that at my height an "ideal" weight is 129. Wow, that number freaks me out! That's 243 lbs I'd have to of lost! I don't think I want to do that, not can't but want. I do know that I am going to celebrate all of my losses. I have set it so that for every 25lbs I get a new charm for my bracelet. So I'm going shopping today to add to it! Have a great day all!

Hell Ya!
The Plateau is OVER! Can I get a "Hell Ya!"? I got on the scale this morning. I usually wait until weigh in day on Fridays but I have been so down in the dumps about the scale not moving. I was so shocked to see 322.1! It is suppose to be in the 60's here today and the sun is shining. It going to be an awesome day. I'm heading to the gym to workout with my trainer today and I'm going to rock it! I'm going to be a Dragon Warrior like Lorie over at Just ate my Willpower has suggested! Let's all go out and kick some butt!

Just one question for fellow bloggers
How the HELL do you add a ticker on to your page? I have tried EVERYTHING! I have a ticker all set up at tickerfactory. I have tried going to layouts and adding your own gadget and then copy and pasting onto my page. But it says it contains wrong characters. ???? Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
