HYC,BLBE & 4th of July Challenge

Sadly I have to be honest here. I've not lost any weight in weeks. In fact I've gained. I'm very sad about it and I know in order to loose I need to do something about it!!! I've been eating alot of Starchy Foods and I'm trying to do something about it but,sometimes Its hard to put one foot in front of the other. I've been so tired lately that I don't even feel like working out with my little girl is taking her nap. I usually take a nap with her!! I've been wanting to workout don't get me wrong but,I'm just so tired I'd rather just sleep. I honestly Hope that I will get this all figured out and try and feel better and I know I need to go to the doctor. I'm going to make an appointment seriously I am. I'm going to try and remember to do so after I get this post finished. I know that my main reason for being tired is not moving around more. I know that once I do I will begin loosing weight again.

On a Good Note I've been inspired by Kath Eats Real Food. I love her oatmeal creations and I'm planning on trying some. I bought some Blue Diamond Almond Breeze ~FINALLY. I've heard great things about it and I can't wait to try it out in the morning in my oatmeal. I also got me A Luna and Cliff Bar to crumble up in it as well as some organic Flavored Granola. I Gave it a taste earlier and it would be supper yummy in yogurt.
I also got me some Green & Red Bell Peppers,Banannas,flat out bread and some other pretty healthy stuff. I'm Trying to do better in the Weight Loss Front I'd Love to be at my pre-pregnancy weight by summers end thats only 30 lbs and really doable. I finally got me a washer its used and as soon as I can get the money to buy new one I will but,defiantely worth what I'm paying for it. This next week I plan on doing at least 30 mins on the treadmill 3 times a week. Eat healthy meals and try to do at least 1 DVD of The Firm. Its doable and hopefully I can meet this goal.

A loss is my Gain!

I've lose -2 lbs yah me!! I've not been getting on the Computer much since I've been having to chase after a Toddler :P See has just been very What's the word??? Feisty..LOL lately. Like I said the other day she's been biting and pushing. Urgh..Hopefully she will get broken from that soon. So,since I can't get online all the time I have this RSS Feed Reader to add my blog that I read on a regular basis. So,I decided to add all my Team mates on BLBE. I'm all caught up on them and as you post they will be loaded on to this app on my iPod Touch. So while I'm watching TV or something other random thing I can read them. If there is something I want to comment on and don't have the time I email that link to myself! So I will try my best to comment but,being a mother of a toddler that can be a task in itself. IF I get on the computer when Leah is awake it seems like she just gets unruly and goes crazy.

So,my weight loss how I lost it I'm unsure cause I've not been working out. I hate to keep Leah Cooped up in our Room and I've always been the type to not wanting Peeps watch me working out. I was going to the local YMCA and it was even a huge deal working out with people there. Anywhoo,I know I will feel better about the working out deal once we get into our own place. Its probably going to cost close to $2,000 for us to get moved but,to be one our own its worth it. I'm so antious. I wished there was a Way for us to file our taxes so we can get $ to do so even quicker. So,I've not been eating completely what I should. Last Night we had Vegetable soup which wasn't too bad. I've not had a Dr.Pepper in about a week. I've been drinking more water and Fruit Punch Crystal Light. So maybe drinking the water and the Crystal light helps some. The other day I calculated how many Mt. Dew's my husband had and he drank over 800 calories in one day! Alot of people don't think of the calories they are drinking up over half of their calories or even points. I found a Great App at the apple ipod store. Its called Lost it. Not sure If I've talked about it yet but,its a great app for counting calories and keeping up with exercise.

I've been trying to catch up on my Jillian Michaels Podcasts. I really like her podcasts and think they are very imformative and motivating. I've gotten all the older ones and am trying to listen to all of them and catch up. The other night on biggest loser they gave a great site right before a commercial. Never Say Diet. Also check out Exercise Tv or even youtube. Hubby got me a 25 ft. VGA cord for my computer that hooks into our tv which makes for great ways to watchs videos online which is mostly why we use the bigger tv for.


Its cold here in Tennessee and its been TRYING to snow but,its not stuck with us yet! I know some of you may smacck me but,I want some snow already!

Biggest Loser Night, My day & Disciplining Toddlers

So tonight is biggest loser night! Yah!! Let's Go Team Lynn!!!! Can you imagine getting that temptation? It would be so hard to pass up. I'm going to have to be more aware of the food I'm eating. I've been eating cr@p and haven't been working out either. I know I messed my knee up but I really want to try getting some exercise in. I kept saying I was going to workout yesterday but never did. Ugh!! I really need to get with the Program Already. You need to Push YOU. Any of you BLBE's want to hold me accountable more. Maybe be accountabilty partners? Talk about partners how great was the biggest losers tonight helping dan up that huge hill. Now that's what's it all about. Being there for your teammates no matter what it is that you face.

What about Bob?? I love him and I'd love a chance to train with for 1 day that's all. Why is it that some of these contestants could careless. I've never seen bob that mad. Whoohoo!

I had to watch my 10 year old neice Gina today. Her mom woke me up before 6 am. She said her girls where getting ready for school and her sisters flat iron fell on her foot and burned it. It looked pretty icky. I had this burn gel for bad sun burns and thought that might help her she took a nap after I put it on her. It has a cooling sensation to it. So keep my little neice in your prayers. After leah had her nap I loaded up the truck with another Load of boxes to take to the new place. I took leah's little kitchen set,some quilts that we aren't using right now. I'm big on making sure there is enough to put on the beds just in case it gets really cold. I brought some cleaning supplies as well as some pictures. Probably won't take anything else to the new house till this weekend.

I finished reading "Finding Noel" by Richard Paul Evans. I will try to do a review tomorrow. I can say it was a great read. I started reading "Anne of Avonlea" L.M.Montgomery I love all the "Anne" books. This will make the 2nd book in the series I've read.

I've about wanted to pull my hair out. I was a stay @ home mom till my husband had his car wreck and I had to return to work. It seems Leah has become so out of hand. Marty's Aunt watched her while I worked and Ive seen how she is with Little ones. She screams at them all the time ugh!! So gets on my nerves. Leah has been biting. Most of the time it's when she gets excited or frustrated and even when she isn't being the center of attention and now she has taken up pushing. I am at my witts end. She pushed the other little boy Diane baby sits and laughed about it. I hope she will be better behaved once she gets used to me being home with her again. Is my kid the only one that's like this? Any mothers want to give me tips on discipline??

We Got The House!!!!

I'm so excited!!! {Dances around while singing} We got the House! We got the House! Can you tell I'm excited? Word cannot tell you how excited I am about getting out of my Husbands Aunt & Uncles house. I've been grateful that they let us stay here don't get me wrong but, I hate it here. They've really shown their true colors. Its really hard to live with another family. During my husbands Accident and his recovery I know we couldn't of lived on our own with my paycheck alone. My husband had to have 24 hrs/day care when he came home from the Hospitial and I needed to work and the Insurance sure wasn't gonna pay for nurses to come in. So that's the only thing I knew to do. Do you ever Watch Desperate Housewives? I watched the last weeks episode over the computer the other day and I really related to the Gaby & Carlos Characters. Her husband was blind and she pretty much had to do all the providing for the family. Its been hard and we've done without alot but,we've survived and made it through. Hopfully things will just get better. Just so excited to have our own place again and not worry how your dress. I can stay in my PJs all day if I want or cook what we want without SOMEONE having a cow cause you don't eat what they cook. There really is No Place Like Home and this defiantely isn't my home.

My husband got hurt at work the other day and sprained his hand or something? He was out of work for 2 days because of it being so swollen. He has been about to drive me nuts during the day....lol I can't seem to get anything done when he is around.

My knee is getting much better. For those of you don't know I fell off this huge 2-3 ft step thats in my hubbys aunts hallway. I was coming into my bedroom and as I walked down this step my knee gave out and went flying off the step. Its finally getting better. Still a little sore but,I think its okay. I am doing BLBE Challenge and I hear that if you don't get those numbers down they really get on ya so,I guess I should start doing some sort of workout this next week. I have a few of the firm videos. If anyone knows of any sites where you can play workout videos let me know. Cause I don't have the money right now to buy any? If anyone reading this see's that my numbers aren't going down please feel to give me a talking to. That's something I need for someone to lecture me and let me know that I won't see results if I don't do something about it. I know I can do better with my eating once we get moved and won't have to worry about ppl eating up all our food or worry that they would be offended cause I cooked my own food.

Can anyone give me any ideas on workouts to do in the Home??? I have a Toddler so its hard to go to the gym which right now I can't really afford. so things around the home... Going to Start doing the Two Hundred Sit-Up Challenge this week. I'm thinking of having my hubby buy me a Treadmill when we get our taxes. I could always go for a walk/run while the toddler is napping. I saw one on HSN that I really like. It had an ipod dock on it so that would come in handy. I'm planning on buying me the 2nd Gen iPod Touch. I already have the 1st Gen but want the new one with the new speakers so you don't even need headphones and the nike+ feature. This new place we are getting has this room that I'm making into my office/workout room. Its my room to do whatever I want and I can't wait! Thought of Putting a love seat or something for times when I want to just sit around and read.

Well I'm going to go we are gonna go to the new place for awhile. I'm gonna try working out everyday this week and doing the sit up challenge at least 3 days a week. If you want the info just message me.

Biggest Loser Blog Edition

I joined The Biggest Loser Blog Edition just in time for the new Season Of Biggest Losers. Last Time I was just a few hours short on the cut off and sadly I didn't get to join. I'm really hoping this is the motivation that I need to get this weight off. I really need to get some weight off and get healthy again. My husband is always saying how much he adores me and loves me for me but,just how can you love anyone if you don't love yourself. I'm very unhappy with myself right now and I think alot of it has to do with me being around 265 lbs. Not sure if any of you watch Oprah and I've heard alot of Bloggers talk about her saying why did she let herself get away??? I know she has tons of money and has all the resources at her fingertips. But,in reality she is no different than the rest of us when it come to loosing weight. We let life overcome us and let things get in the way of so much. Why do we let little things like our Weight get the best of us? Its easy for anyone to say "if I just can get this weight off me then I will never go back to that lifestyle again" I for one done this several times and vowed I'd never be the Fat woman that people look down on in Public as something to frown upon but,whose Fault is it? I guess its mine and I hate to give excuses about why I've let myself go so I won't but I do know that I can still pick up the pieces and move forward.

Being a Stay at Home Mother I don't have the $$MONEY$$ to be able to go to an awesome Gym but,I do have a few resources to still be able to workout in the comfort of my own home.
DVDs,treadmill,Wii

I'm thinking of Buying me a New Treadmill soon and maybe I can get some serious walking and maybe even running done. My husband has promised to get me a New Wii-Fit by the end of January if we can find one. Most of the stores have been sold out.

My Goal is to loose 10% by the end of the Challenge thats 26.4 lbs so that would make me at 237.6 not exactly where I want to be but hey we got to start somewhere,right?

I've not really got a Diet but,I do have alot Of Weight Watcher Recipes so Take a Gander at my recipes if you are interested.

Fall is Here!

I think this little picture is so adorable! I love Autumn/Fall I know ppl call it differently but,I just love this time of the year here in Tennessee. The weather is getting much bearable. Its cool enough for a jacket in the mornings and even a light jacket when it starts getting dark. The sun shines during the day but,not enough to be a sortcher. I love it. I love how the trees change colors like they've been cast a spell upon them and their colors magically change colors. My hours at work changed today and really I'm relieved. Working all these hours lately has almost gotten the best of me. So now My hours at work are from 8am-2pm which is 6 hours 5 days a week. Thinking of having the office have someone come in and work the 4 hour shift on Saturdays but,I'm still undecided about it. This evening I go the Chance to watch Wind at My Back Today after I got off work I came in the House and I had 2 DVDs from Netflick. I get so Excited when I receive DVDs from them. I watch alot of old shows I never watched before and alot of old shows that I love!! I finished Wind at my back Vol.1 Disk 1 and went to the post office before the mail truck came so Netflicks should be sending me a new DVD Tomorrow! I get stuff I want to watch Chick flicks,tv shows I wanna see or even Workout Videos I wanna try. Today I tried Bob Harper's Biggest Loser Workout DVD it has 2 ways you can workout a 6 week workout with 4 different workouts you do 2 workouts one day and change up to the other 2 thats left the next day. I done 2 of the workouts today and I love it! I wished I had a way to record dvds or something. Bob does alot of boxing moves and I loved that because I need to work on my core muscles badly and I think boxing moves helps in that area. I really love this DVD and would defiantely do it again. The mail Truck doesn't leave till 4pm from my local Post Office and since I get off at 2 I thought I would do the DVD again tomorrow before I sent it back to Netflicks. I've been wanting to find a Diet thats more Stricker than Weight Watchers because I feel that its too leaniate and I need something thats gonna keep me on goal and focused. I'm not sure if there is a Biggest Loser Diet but,planning on trying to find something along those lines. I've seen the show and I've seen some of the stuff they have cooked in the past and it looks pretty healthy! I went to a website to do The Biggest Loser and it Cost around $20.00 a month and you get a full diet plan customized for you and it comes with 3 different books on The Biggest Loser. I think one is a fitness Book,a recipe book and the other probably goes through things on the show. Its called The Biggest Loser Club if anyone is interested. I've not been motivated to do anything lately and I'm not sure why. Our insurance ran out and hubby finally went back to work due to his accident and we are suppose to be getting insurance but have no clue when? I haven't taken my Thyroid Medication in about 2 months now and I can really see the effects of it. I'm always tired,my muscles ache. I just feel awful. I am just hoping my insurance will pay for the blood work.
