Lisa's weigh-in

Today I weigh 128. Pretty good considering the terrible weekend I had. I ate so much all weekend long. So, there is a party at my house on Friday for some of the women in my ward. We are doing chocolate fondue and lots of dessert goodies. This is the deal I made with myself, and I want to post it so all the world knows too. If I can get to 126 by Friday, then I can have treats at the party. If not, I can only have fruits and veggies at the party. That's the deal.

Brindy, as far as getting Hyrum to bed... a routine (which I'm sure you already do) is good. My guess is that it's just a phase that you'll have to pass through. My boys seem to do that too. If you've just moved him into a big-boy bed, that is probably part of it. Ben took forever to transition. Good luck! And sorry....

Kimber's Weigh in

Today I weighed in at 115.2. I didn't do so well this week again, but apparently I did ok yesterday and Saturday because I lost over those two days. Even yesterday morning I was 116.3, same as last week. I think the early meal (we have dinner around 3or 4) helps me on Sundays because I always seem to lose weight before Monday morning. I double checked to make sure it was right and was surprised to find it was. Alright, I have got to be better this week about working out so I can stop the diet (last week I still didn't do my full diet). I think I will try to not have any slimfast after tomorrow since I am out of it anyway. But I have got to work out like everyday so I don't gain weight. Good luck girls, this is getting harder for me, but somehow I am still losing a little bit.

Sorry!

I have been so busy!

Alright, first things first, I bought my own scale, but it added on a couple pounds. My new starting weight is 124 1/2 lbs. I have not gained or lost anything really. I also have not been exercising or eating the best. I am having a really hard time with sweets as well. I am having a hard time being motivted to exercise. I am so tired in the mornings and it is so cold outside. Hyrum has been going to bed so late and we are not sure how to help him go to bed earlier. If either of you have suggestions about what you do for your kids if they don't want to go to bed or if they keep playing until 10pm or 11pm at night, that would be great. Also, when he goes to bed at this time he is still waking up at 6:20am-7am. It is rediculous! Plus, it makes us all grumpy! Okay, I am going to end this post because Hyrum needs attention. Sorry for the depressing post.

Lisa, thanks. It is harder this time of year. Candy was candy and I found it easier to resist or just have one piece here and there, but your right sweets this time of year are harder. I think the trick for me is to just stay busy. I distract myself a lot and if I do eat something sweet I try really hard to eat a little bit. Last night we were at David's parents and they were all having ice cream and since Saturday I ate almost a whole big blizzard I passed on the ice cream and just played with Porter and did other things. I actually find it a lot easier when I am other places because others are watching. I also just try not to have too much temptation around. I seriously don't know exactly why I keep losing I am not following my plan exactly, I think honestly it is the fact that my stomach has shrunk because I can't eat as much as I used to. You can do it!!!!!!!

Today I weigh 130. So I got off the Thanksgiving weight. But I had to work hard ALL week to get it down. It kind of stinks that I lost a week, but that's what I get, I guess. I want to be down to 127 by next Monday. Hopefully I won't have to do so much to get there.
I am having a hard time resisting all the Christmas goodies. What are you guys to doing to keep away from it? It all sounds so good. I know I can keep losing, but I feel like mentally it's a lot harder than it was before Thanksgiving. So any advice would be great.
Kimber, you are awesome, way to go! I know we can all do this! Here's to a good week- cheers!

Well, this morning I was again shocked as I weigh 116.3. A little over a lb to go. Once I reach 115 I will keep working out, but will stop this diet. I honestly have slacked a little in the diet but am still losing for now. I am excited though because I know I can maintain this weight if after I didn't do much last week I am losing still. I will work harder this week. I only worked out Monday and Friday last week which I was working out everyday, in hopes to reach that goal this week.

sorry this is so late. i am still at 123 lbs. it is hard now that christmas is on the way. also, i feel like there is so much to unpack still that i rather do that than exercise in the mornings. i did do 30 day shred monday and i went on a walk today. i also have been doing some cleaning and lifting boxes, so i guess i am getting some exercise, but could do better with the eating. thanksgiving i ate more dessert than i have been lately, but i did not really eat tons, so i feel like i did pretty good. it did not seem hard either. i think it helped that i was so busy when we went home.
