{Weekly Weigh In: Week 8}

This week has been crazy and I have been sick and have a sick babe and have been emotionally eating but I have tried to remember to eat breakfast and 4-6 small meals during the day and I have been trying to cut off my eating by 8pm. I haven't started exercising with my videos or walking...

Really this week has been lacking and I have been unfocused and just trying to keep myself somewhat healthy. At least I am getting close to my start weight as of the first of the year. So at least I am going in the right direction.

*sigh*

I am just taking this one day at a time and striving to get healthy and I am going to start exercising - hopefully I get motivated soon - at least I am working in the right direction.

{Look what came today!!}

Summer at Dreamspirations Gallery had a giveaway and I won the lovely gal below. She came in the mail today and she's just lovely and so beautifully done! I am completely inspired by Summer's work and hope that one day my creations bring just as much inspiration to someone else.

{Art Gallery}

The kids had an Art Gallery showing and book fair on Thursday. Aaron, Sam and Ruth made some cute stuff, below are images of their cool art!

Mind you since I got a "smart" phone when we switched from Verizon to T-mobile I have been using it more to take photos since I tend to forget my "work horse".

We really enjoyed ourselves and the kids got some new books and had a cupcake to boot! It was fun even if the room they choose to house the "book fair" part was about the size of my office.

Aaron's cool art w/description - it's so cool!

Sam made a rhino mask and it's sitting on his shelf now.

Ruth's kinder class made a whole farm w/a barn and animals

hers  is the white faced little cutie with a purple face.

{Weekly Weigh In: Week 6}

I am struggling and sinking into food. I know I have a food addiction and eat when I am not hungry, when I am upset or even happy. I love watching Netflix and found a show called "Ruby" and saw myself in her and her journey to become healthy and over come her "beast". I have really learned alot from the first 3 seasons and I am hoping that this next week I can get my weight loss back on track and get back on the journey to becoming a healthier me.

{Weekly Weigh In: Week 5}

Ugh...I have failed miserably when it comes to weight loss. I am praying that I can get myself out of this funk this month and get myself back on track. I have really failed miserably when it comes to eating when I wake up, shopping when hungry which results in junk food being brought into the house and consumed by me and eating after 7pm. Not only have I failed at that stuff but I haven't been cooking at home and have been eating fast food and drinking soda pop instead of water.

It's like I want to sabotage my progress and I believe I am succeeding in doing so. Not only is my weight loss in jeopardy but my whole life has become chaos. I sometimes feel as though I am loosing control even though I know I have the control.

This next month (aka February) I am going to strive to regain my control over the chaos and get things back to normal and my weight loss back on track. I want to squelch this darn dark cloud over me and let some light in before I start to sink even farther into the chaos.

I am up 1.3 pounds from my start weight this year...I need to get back on track, it's important.

{Family Game Night}

Gary had to work during family game night but Clay came since he was in town. I made Chili for dinner and everyone loved it, even the kids!!

All the adults are playing in a home brewed world created by William and it uses pathfinder rules. It's so much fun, dark but fun. William created an awesome terrain piece for the game and it really helped immerse us in the game.

I am playing a rouge gnome, Gary is playing a human monk, Dad is playing a fighter half-orc, Kitty is playing a half-elf sorcerer and Clay is playing a Elf ranger (his character will be coming and going from the campaign as he's a truck driver and won't be able to make all the games).

our characters fighting zombies and a vampire - ack!

everyone having a good time!
