Long time, no blog

So whats up dude?

Not much really, just been really busy. Colorado rocked. Love you Colorado friends! I officially started my own business, Light of the World Photography (www.lightoftheworldphoto.com). Hopefully somebody hires me soon.... dang it, I need some customers! I finished my Nutrition class with an 'A'... yay me! Next up, Anatomy and Physiology II at lightening speed!! Seriously, this is like kamikaze New York cab driver speed. Scary.

Kids are good..... Emma has been CRAZY lately, little tantrum monster (oops, I mean darling!). Addison is totally on the move, she just turned 11months. That first year has gone by SO fast!

Thats about all for now.... still battling my depression.... damn you depression, damn you!!

well, tan fat looks better than white fat

So operation One-derland in one month hasnt been going so well. Dang it. More like -2lbs in one month! Well, I suppose thats better than nothing. Kicked off my 7 day makeover yesterday. Dyed my hair (now a lighter reddish brown), started my Arbonne Spa Detox (Spa? Seriously?), and tried my new lip gloss. Oh, and the Jergens self-tanning lotion. At least that is working, my legs wont be quite as blindingly white in Colorado.

2 days until Colorado!! YAY!! Trace Adkins concert tonight!! YAY!!

May 2nd- Day 2

Weight: 210.8

WHO IS AWESOME??? ME!!

Goodbye water weight, I wont miss you or the bloating!

Total loss: 4.6lbs

May 1st - Day 1

Weight: 215.4

Pant size: 18 (almost 17)
Shirt size: XL
Bra size: you perv, why are you wondering that?

I was going to take some measurements, but I am too lazy.

Here's my starting pics. I tried to look as frumpy as possible, because that is the way all great 'before' pictures look.

One Month To ONE-derland!!

Tired of being a fatty? Join me on my one month to one-derland!

My weight loss has stalled for the past couple months because I have:
1. not followed my diet
2. not been exercises
3. basically didnt try. at all.

So now I am jumping back on the wagon, at full speed!

My goal: get down to 199lbs (one-derland) by June 1st (one month)

My plan: post on this blog to keep me motivated (hopefully!), eat the Baskous diet (high protein, select carbs), take phentermine, drink lots of water, and exercise.

Want to play along?

The Baskous diet:
90g of protein EACH day
food diary of intake
NO wheat, corn, or potato products
YES, you can eat rice and oat products, fruit and veggies too!
NO EATING AFTER 4PM!

Phentermine?
Its an appetite suppressant, basically the wonder-pill.

Confused about water and exercise? you need help, my friend.

Making me mad.... not a great idea! Lucky for you I have excellent self control today.

ooooooooh, I am ALL worked up into a 'tizzy' right now!!! Not really going to say about what, because I am still hoping it can be favorably resolved, but lets just say that I am MAD. MAD MAD MAD!!! (and no, I'm not mad at you.... or you.... or you..... the person/s I am mad at probably have idea that I even blog, but just in case, I am not going to say anything now).

I'll update though when I get a 'final' answer.

MAD. >:(

Happy Birthday to me....!!!!

Ahhh, another year older! Eh, normally I dont really celebrate birthdays much... in fact I only remembered that today was my birthday when I opened my email and found all the birthday wishes from my sweet friends :) BEST birthday present yet: Angie is pregnant!!!! YAY!!!! (no, not Colorado Angie- my online friend Angie!). She and DH had been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years, and they just finished an IVF cycle. Praise God!!! It's always the sweetest moment when people who desire a child so much, and have tried so long, become pregnant! Still praying for Jessica and Jennifer, your time will come too.

How am I celebrating my birthday?? Well, Emma loving woke me up early today, just to tell me she cared (is that what screaming "MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY" means, while banging her cup against the wall?). After dropping the kids at daycare, I get to take a psychology test, clean up the house and fold some laundry. Oh, and lots of spanish homework!

Still battling my depression.... I get to see the doctor on Thursday to re-evaluate my medications. Please send some prayers my way, I cant wait to feel normal and happy again.
