Things are going pretty well this week. I started school on Monday which I figured the stress would have me eating more.. but its not really. I weighed myself in Tuesday and I am down 8.6lbs! YAY! I am now down 10lbs. Rick forgot to weigh in this week but he is going to do it tomorrow I believe. Our stress level has dropped some and at the same time risen. We are finally past all the major things, besides our family vacation in July... but now Rick is working more and I am working.. and going to school and trying to deal with the kids.. its just a lot.. but we actually feel hardly any stress right now.. I think we've finally learned that we can't do it all ourselves.. we need to depend on one another for that support, which has helped soooo much!

We'll off to do more notes, exercising, and bathing of the children! haha

We want to say we're sorry for not being on or commenting as much as we would like too. Things have been wicked crazy this past week.. but we will hop back on it real soon!

Mucho love!

As I sat here eating some chips.. I saw my reflection in the pains of glass in the back door and was horrified. I could not believe  what I saw. So I have decided it is sooo time for a change. I cannot make others happy until I can learn how to make myself happy.. and right now I am not happy with myself. I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror.. so usually I avoid looking.. but its time to change. So! For dinner I am making brown rice and some yummy chicken in the ziplock steam fresh bag thing.. which is awesome by the way! I just really need to work on not eating when I am not hungry. I am never going to stay within my calorie limit for the day if I keep doing this. But I am really really trying. I'm starting to see my problems with eating a little bit better though, so I should be able to catch myself. Saturday is going to be a real challenge, because we have our wedding reception .. which mean a wedding cake.. and lots of food..but I am going to try and pick the healthier foods while I am there.. My goal is to be down to 150 by the 13th of July because that is when we are going on vacation to Indy beach.. and I don't want to be embarassed about wearing a swim suit. I want it to be fun.. not a moment where I am so uncomfortable and self-concious that I cry... I'm over that! I want to actually have fun while I am there.. I have 73 days to lose 28 pounds.. does that seem realistic? I hope so!

Well off to eat that yummy smelling dinner!

BTW: I will get caught up on commenting tonight after work! I am sorry to you all!
