Weigh in

I weighed in a day early this week due to having a day full of parties and date night on Saturday so I wanted to see where I was at.

187.5 another 2 lbs this week!!! whoo hoo!!

I felt that I didn't have a very good week in the way of points this week and was not expecting to lose anything this week so I was very surprised at the lose. But I am excited to get back at it this week, I'm hoping it will be easier with it being break these next 2 weeks.

Weight Loss Journey

For the last few years the scale and I have not been friends, however about 4 weeks ago I hit my highest weight and decided that I had had enough. right about the same time a friend of my mom's talked us into trying Figure 8 by Arbonne, who she is a consultant for, I have tried shake replacements before and have been starving within and hour, so I took her sample pack with some skepiticism and tried it. I was truely surprised I loved the Vanilla and I stayed full till lunch (The trick is in the fiber suppliment they suggest adding in). I liked the idea of the shake in the morning because I don't eat breakfast I never have time, but with the shake it was really easy to get breakfast in me. I was convinced along with my mom. So we signed up to give it a try. I decided to join weight watches online as well to help me track my regular food points throughout the day. As well as hitting the Gym or pool 3 -4 times a week. (which I had been doing for about a month)

My beginning weight on Sunday, March 7th was 197 (not a fun number for me at all). I drank the shake in the morning and tracked points all day as well.

I weighed in Sunday March 14th and had to weigh in twice I was at 191.5, I was shocked, I felt better and felt like I lost some weight but not 5.5 lbs.

This past Sunday March 21 I didn't expect any weight lose (I was bloated and on my cycle sorry if that is TMI) but the scale read 189, I was excited, 2.5 lbs down.

I'm feeling great and I'm looking forward to continuing to see those numbers drop. But I know it is going to get harder every week but I excited to be off to such a great start, it differently has me motivated!!!

Family Tree

I have been working on our family tree on line with myherritagefamilytree.com. Kassidy has been working on her's as well for school. I like her's better:

Back blogging

We have been so busy the past few months I have been slacking in blogging. I am going to be working on catching up, I also want to know how I can save my blog just in case something happens (so I can save it for my girls, since I have sooo not been doing photo albums).

All Grown up

Our big girl turned 5 this week, time goes by way to fast. this precious little girl:


Has turned into this amazing big girl:


Everyone has a great time being fancy at her Fancy Nancy Party and jumping on her bounce house. I still can't believe she is 5 already, she is growing up so fast but I am completely loving this stage with her.

Happy Birthday Big Girl!!! We love you!!!
