Groovin...

This first week has been hectic! In between shuttling 2 kids back and forth to schools, working and keeping the house clean and running smoothly, I am exhausted!  Woke up today with a sore throat (thanks Julianne) and feeling so run down! But, today is weigh in day!! I was a little nervous and excited! Here's the drill...

weight 249.2
waist 47
hips 57
bust 56

Down a little, but for a jumping off point..I'm happy! Plus, had my niece's bday party on Saturday and totally indulged in a large piece of chocolate raspberry cake! Not a shining moment, but one I can't feel too bad about as it was delicious and worth every ounce of guilt! Other then that, I was right on track and kept my calories in between 1500-1850 as well as running 5km 2 times last week! Even started adding Farkle's (sp) which are like little bursts of speed.  I was doing 1 minute jog, 5 minute walk with a 5 second farkle. I think it must look hilarious to see this large girl, with a beet red face going down the road, and then suddenly breaking into a full on run for a short burst, then slowing to a walk.  I laugh in my head at myself.  But other then that, the eating hasn't been as hard as I thought, a little more expensive but all in all I am satisfied, except for my Saturday afternoon....ooohhhh.  The hubby and kids were wanting take-out.  Soooo we stopped at Wendy's!  I was so good, got myself a Pecan Apple Chicken salad and it was yummy, but my hubby got a double baconator and oh man!! That thing looked and smelled so good! I was dieing watching him eat that!! Probably the most painful moment!  He complained that he ate it so fast he felt sick, to be good to me, but I was just pissed I had to see that thing at all.  But I stayed on track that time, didn't even steal one fry from the kids or a bite of their burgers!!  I'll take my halo now!! Lol! But I posted some motivational mantra's throughout the house.  They help to remind me to stay strong and that I CAN do it! So..onward and upward to another great week!! 4lbs down, 69 to go!
