Feeling crummy

The last couple days I felt bad and I think it's really a lack of sleep. I've been in bed by 10 pm since Tuesday night but yet i'm still tired. I ran out of thyroid meds & my insurance ran out which is a story in itself. Which I know is a contributing factor of how I'm feeling lately. I didn't go over to Beths yesterday to workout and was surprised to find she never called to find out where I was?!? I'm gonna call her later to find out how things are with her. I'm gonna try and rest up this weekend and start off fresh Monday. I feel like I'm getting nowhere?!? What should I do? Keep going is my only option I guess. I'm gonna do better with getting in bed earlier. I think that's my downfall. How do others mothers do this?

Benefits

I'm feeling really good and I think it's due to me exercising almost everyday! I weighed myself this morning and my weight was down it was 266 wow! 6 more pounds and I'll have already met my Christmas Goal. But I can't stop at that goal yes, I will be striving forward. I had a little girl almost 2 years ago. I was around 270 lbs. I had a rough labor & delivery and my daughter and myself both almost died in the process. I never felt so helpless I couldn't even care for my own child. I wonder if my weight played a part in it. I do want another child very badly but I can't be that helpless ever again! So yes I'm loosing this weight to try and have another child. Why oh why do I have the desire to have another child.

Husband returns to work

As some of you may know my Husband was in a car accident back in March and miracuously made it through the whole ordeal. He had major hip surgery. His hip was pretty much crushed. It took 3 months for him to just walk unassisted. It's been almost 6 months since the accident and today was his first day back to work. I'm do excited too!! We are planning on building our own home without borrowing money from anyone even a bank. It may take a couple years but we are doing it on our own as we get the money. In a few weeks I'm finally getting an iPhone 3G. Wow! A real cell phone plan. What's a girl to do?!? None of this high priced pay as you go crap! I'm so excited that I will be getting me an iPhone. I might also buy me a wii and wii fit to have something different to workout to while I'm at home. So excited to have hubby working again. More money that's for sure.

Too tired to workout

Does anyone out there skip a workout because your just too tired. I know I don't need to let that interfere but, I did. I'm tired even more today or so it seems. But I'm going to workout today regardless of how I feel. I almost fell asleep earlier but I got up and checked Nells mail. Leah hasn't been sleeping well lately. I've been keeping a log of most of my food lately and I'm proud to say I've been drinking more water than usual. I'm planning on working out as soon as I get off work everyday! First thing no waiting till later because later never comes around.

Checking In

I weighed in on Sunday I was down another pound. As long as I'm down every week that's all that matters. I started working out with my neice this past week. We started on Saturday. We worked out last night it was kinda late & I hate doing that cause it interferes with my little girls sleep pattern. But we had a blast doing our workout. I'm going to go grocery shopping tonight and get some healthy food to eat. That's what it's all about~living a healthy life!!

Edible

I found a really great app at the itunes app store. I really love this app. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch I highly recommend it. I think you can use it with any Weight-Loss diet that you're on but, I'm on Weight Watchers so I use it for that. You can log food and it saves it and stores it and it's very easy to use that same food later. You can even keep up with the activity points and the extra weekly points that weight watchers gives to use throughout the week. Being a mother and working too I don't have alot of time to get on the computer and log my food journal in every day. I mobile blog alot so it's great someone finally made a program like this.

Watched 17 again with Zack Efron, in which I thought was a really fun movie. I needed a good laugh!!!I watched it with my daughter and niece gina who was here yesterday too sick to go to school. tryin to think of other movies I've watched recently. I watched Dance Flick about a week ago which was all too similar to Save The Last Dance, which is one of my favorite movies, but I didn't like this movie cause I just thought it was retarded!!!! We also watched Bring it On: Fight to the Finish that even my husband enjoyed and of course my little girl was dancing to the music and the dances they did in the movie. I really need to get my little girl in Dance classes soon, she loves dances around I really think she'd enjoy it!

About Me

Hi! My name is Mary Beth. Most of my friends and family call me Boo Bear. Don't ask me why??? It's a nickname I got when I was really little and its always stuck!I come from a Yours, Mine & Ours Type of family so we are really blended to say in the least. I've lived in Tennessee pretty much my whole life except when I was in my early 20's I lived in NYC, in addition to living in Toronto for a bit as well. I miss the City especially NYC. There is something about the City that I've always loved. But, about 5 years ago I got married to my husband Marty who is an old country boy. He couldn't stand to be away from the farm I don't think. We have a beautiful 3 year old daughter her name is Leah Josephine.

Free Book Giveaway!!!!

Shoot the Moon by B. Letts
B. Letts
I have 5 Copies of the Book "Shoot the Moon" by Billie Letts to giveaway. I've not gotten the chance to read the book but,I love Billies books. I've got a few on my shelf I need to get read. I don't know much about this book so thought I would give you a few reviews from other sites that have reviewed it.

From AudioFileIn 1972, in DeClare, Oklahoma, 10-month-old Nicky Jack Harjo disappears when his single mother is murdered. Thirty years later Mark Albright, Californian veterinarian to the stars, having just learned he was adopted, arrives in DeClare, looking for an explanation from the mother who gave him away. His search for answers to the past turns into a mission of justice for his murdered mother and an explanation of his own mysterious adoption in California. Although the murderer's identity is obvious early, Kathe Mazur's easy-on-the-ears voice makes the story an enjoyable companion on a long road trip. She uses nuances in her voice to move between past and present, giving us a sense of the story's characters, culture, and community. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From BooklistA man's desperate search for his identity drives this riveting offering from the author of best-sellers Where the Heart Is (1995) and The Honk and Holler Opening Soon (1998). No one in sleepy DeClare, Oklahoma, has forgotten the 1972 murder of pretty Cherokee Gaylene Harjo and the abduction of her infant son, Nicky Jack. Hard-nosed deputy sheriff Oliver "O Boy" Daniels pinned the blame on local preacher Joe Dawson, but few in town believed the kindly Joe was capable of such an act. Powerful emotions resurface 30 years later, when Nicky Jack, adopted and raised by a rich couple in Beverly Hills, mysteriously reappears, determined to learn about his mother and the circumstances surrounding her death. Veteran short-story writer Letts peppers her prose with a cast of quirky characters, including a quartet of nosy, domino-playing senior citizens and a perky pool-hall owner who bakes peanut-butter pies. Readers of Sue Miller and Wally Lamb are sure to embrace this memorable tale of love, loss, humanity, and hope. Allison BlockCopyright © American Library Association.

On the Road to Sucess

I have one massive headache right now I really think the cause is a combination of lack of sleep and sinus headache! Hubby and I have had little spats all weekend it seems and it doesn't help matters! My neice came over late last night about the time I was headed to bed and she wanted to charge her ipod. I love her but,jeez!! anyways she asked if she paid for the Membership at the Local YMCA if I would go with her to go workout. I said of course!! She said it opens up at 5:30 am and doesn't close till 10:30pm so,I could always get up to workout if i decided to. But,she said she wouldn't. She wants to go in the evenings. :P I'm much more of a morning person for working out. I have tons to do of the evenings. Not,sure If the babysitter would watch the toddler for a few hours more in the evenings. I feel like if I don't do it first thing in the mornings I won't do it at all.

I'm really wanting a Wii & Wii Fit. I've heard great things about it and there is so much you can do with it. I've not walked in about 10 days now. Hopefully I can get with the plan in the next few days. My weight has hovered around 288-272 for the last too much and I so tired of making excuses and not loosing more than I have. I've got to do more. I read a blog today about her son asking her why she sits around all the time on the time in this one seat. I felt like I was her and I related to her so much. Alot of times I'm sitting and spending too much on the computer reading about weight loss and fitness and not enough time doing it. So,I have to do it!! Tonight me is going to bed early so,i can get up to go for a walk. I'm doing lunges 3X's a week and push-ups 3X's a week. I went to the grocery store earlier. I got alot of produce and I'm happy about all I've gotten. I think I done well as far as choices go. I hope everyone is having a great Holiday!

A loss is my gain!!!

Woohoo!!! I had a loss!! Wasn't earth shattering but,it was a loss so I guess thats all that matters. I always weight myself on Sunday Mornings which,ended up not doing so till after church this morning but,This week I lost 0.4 lbs.

My Long Weekend Plans

Well,I'm off work today. yipee!!! Hubby and I watched the movie "21" last night and it was a pretty good movie. I really liked it. My little girl kept wanting to play so,we didn't get too into it at first but,overall i think it was a great movie. Its about a College Student who wants to Go to Medical School and really doesn't have the money but,he is really good with numbers. His professor gets him into the "club" of numbers. So, he is the best at it and He gets greedy and wants it all. His teacher is getting a cut of the money and wants to go out on his own but,gets caught anyways I won't tell everything...lol but,he really shows the teacher a thing or two. Its a good movie.

Today marty,my husband is helping at his brothers house to do some yard work over there for some cash. My husband has made close to $400 of work just for cleaning up at his brothers. Today,I'm doing Laundry and hanging out with my little girl. I'm planning on going to see my parents but,they have a church fuction they have to be at by 3pm so not sure if i will get to make it up there or not? My neice,christina is coming over after 12pm. she was helping with a birthday party and then she is coming over. She is going to go to the White County Fair with us tonight. The Fair Costs $5.00 to get in tonight. They are having the Tractor Pull & Drag Racing @ 7pm that My husband want to see. So,we are mainly going for that. I thought we'd walk around the midway a few times maybe chat with people we know. Thought I would take my camera and take some pictures of leah's First time at the fair.
No plans for tomorrow other than sleeping in. Probably be a late night at the fair so,I know we will all probably sleep in. I have to work monday which is a drag. But,I'm probably only going to work half a day. I think we are planning on cooking out for our supper that night.
