WEIGHT LOSS!!!!!

YAY! I lost 3 pounds this week. That is the one pound I gained last week and 2 more. I am now 180 and that is down from 192+ so a 12+ pound loss over all for about 6 weeks. This loss is a 2 pound a week average, which is the goal I set for myself.

I didn't exercise much, but did very well on portion control. I had no slips with dairy except, I had a meatloaf sandwich that I bought from the convenience store and I just wondered if there was any dairy in that.

I'll have to check on that, but otherwise I'm doing great!!!

Weight loss again

183 up 1.4 pounds, darn. This week we went out to eat at this place that has huge portions and I pigged out. I also wasn't very careful about whether or not there was dairy in the things I ate.

Well now I'll start a new week and unfortunately the clock resets on the eliminating dairy. I'll do better this week.

Weight Loss

YAY!!!! I'm down another 2.2 lbs for a grand total of................................11 POUNDS!!!!!
I am now 181.6!!! YAY!!!

It's weird

Completely strange. Unless Mom talked to him?

Jed is treating me like a person instead of being a complete butt. Of course his girlfriend is visiting so he may be putting on a show for her.

Who knows.

Anyway it's weird.

Also something I thought was funny.

Last Monday when we were at dad's cleaning Jed was there and the kidlets followed him around, like they always do, for a bit. Then they went off and did their own thing for a bit. While they were busy Jed left. He just left he didn't say goodbye or anything.

So a few minutes later Dria came looking for him. I told her that he'd gone and she was crushed. I mean completely crushed. She has a hard time when someone leaves without saying goodbye. She's always been like that and Jed knows it, or he should, she is his niece after all and he's been told before.

Then on Friday we were at dad's again and Jed showed up with his girlfriend. After a bit Jed says to me very conspiratorially, "look Dria's jealous again." (once a couple of years ago Jed had a girlfriend that Dria didn't particularly like and so avoided her and Jed when they were around and my mom decided that Dria was jealous and that was why Dria was avoiding Jed). I said, "Nope, she's mad at you for leaving the other day with out telling her goodbye."

Jed was stunned. Completely gobsmacked. It was like he was thinking, "Dria's mad???? I wasn't aware she had feelings." or something equally dumb.

But, he did apologize. Again I'm not sure why. Was it because his girlfriend was there? Because he really didn't want Dria to be mad at him? or what??

Of course Dria forgave him, she absolutely adores Jed and always has. Even she was just a little bit of a thing and going through stranger anxiety and only wanting me and Tony she would go right to Jed (unless he was wearing a hat, then all bets were off. LOL) I didn't though. You don't hurt my babies and get off that easily. Butthead.

Anyway I thought that his expression was priceless. Of course I didn't have the camera at the time. Darn the luck.

Bubby is Bald

For the last couple of years, everytime I cut Tony's hair, Bubby has been asking me to shave his head. I've told him no over and over because, frankly, I didn't want him to be bald.

So yesterday Bubby asked me again to shave his head and I thought about it and since it is his hair and it will grow back I agreed.

So here are a few pics of the process.

half way done


bald boy


"I LOVE IT!!"

weight loss again

None. Darn. I weigh the same this week as I did last week. At least I know why, I haven't been doing any excersizing because it's been too stinking hot and humid.

I also screwed up the dairy elimination and had a bit of cheese and a vitamin that has milk in it.

Oh well, it's a new week and I can start again.

Our new van

OMG!!!!

Tons of changes coming up and that have already happened for us. I am really having a hard time processing everything. I am stressed out to the max. LOL

First off, Chad called Tony and told him that he can get in to the Sept. class at the Police Academy. We were planning on him going in Jan. EEEEEK!!!

This means that Tony will be gone for 13 weeks and we will have no income while he's gone. Also for the first 3 weeks he will not be allowed to come home at all. It will be hard to be without him for so long, not just for me, but for the kidlets.

Also today we bought a van. EEEEEEK!

Scary, because we won't have an income coming up in Sept. But we really needed a new van. Our old van was really too small for us all and it has started to give us problems. Including having the air go out for the second time this summer. Tony said that repairs, if he did them himself, would cost in excess of a couple thousand dollars.

So we are the proud new owners of a 2001 Dodge Conversion Van. It is soooooo much bigger than our old mini van that the mini van would fit inside the new van.

Another stressful thing is that we got in the mail a couple of weeks ago a bill from the IRS saying that we owe around $4000. YUCK!

The biggest stresser recently has to be that we had a pregnancy scare a couple of weeks ago due to my chart showing an O. Then it decided that I didn't O. I was freaking out because I honestly didn't think that I was O-ing (and still don't) because I know my body and I usually know when I am O-ing.

It will all work out in the end for the best. I just have to believe that or I will go crazy.

Yay! Keep going down

Today I am at 183.8 down another 1.6 lbs, for a combined total of 8.4 lbs lost. I've just kept up on the portion control and paying attention to what I eat. For excersize more playing in the pool with the kidlets.

I have been off dairy completely with no oooopsses (that I know of) for over a week.

YAY!
