On January the 1st I stepped on scale and shockingly I was 192lbs. I seriously didn’t want to get to 200lbs! I changed what I was eating and I have lost 19lbs since then. The scale said 173lbs yesterday.
My diet consists of lots of a small bowl of corn flakes for breakfest (although most days I don’t eat breakfast), salads for lunch and for supper its whatever everyone else is having. I tend to cook anything that doesn’t have much fat (exception of pizza night). Seasoned chicken breast is cooked alot. I usually eat a salad with the chicken while everyone else has the regular sides like rice, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Snacks are stuff like Fudgesickels (no sugar added), veggie chips, rice cakes…anything low in calories and wont throw me into a gallstone attack. If I do drink coffee its Fat free creamer and about 2-4 packs of a sugar substitute.
I have yet to start excersizeing. I have been walking once and do sit ups rarely. I don’t really get out much. The park that I go walking at is 10+ miles away. Doesn’t help when your tight with gas money ($3.40 a gallon or so around here!!!). I live on a highway, so walking it wouldn’t be wise.
My long term goal is 140lbs. Short term is 160lbs.

Landun pulled his little “lets turn the settings knob to off and make all the food spoil so we’ll have to buy more” trick this morning. Good thing we didn’t have much food in it and were planning on grocery shopping after Chris got off of work today. Chris bought a few things yesterday including milk that I had to get rid of this morning…argh!
Anyway here is a list of things I plan to do today:
- clean out fridge
- wash dishes (plates, bowls, cups, silverware)
- wash pots and pans
- vacuum and clean up living room
- vacuum and clean up living room for the second time
- clean up kitchen counters
- mop kitchen floor
- fold clothes from dryer
- wash dry and fold load in washing machine
- wash dry and fold load in basket
- grocery shopping

I put up my old layout. I got tired of seeing the one I had up. I still really like this one though.
I went more than two weeks without blogging again. I just really didn’t have the time…now I do. Chris’s vacation was laid back. We slept in til 11am (when Landun usually wakes up) with the exception of getting up at 6am to send Mikayla to school. We just hung around the house and went out a few times. I couldn’t blog because the little time that I did have with the computer…Chris was sitting right next to me looking over my shoulder. I hate that!
We got our grass cut for the first time this year. My Dad had someone come cut it for us. At the moment we don’t have a lawn mower, but plan on trying to get one soon. So we all had some fun playing in the backyard yesterday. The kids don’t have much to play with outside. I’m hoping to change that soon by getting them a swing set and other stuff.
Anyway, I have lots to do around the house, so I better get to that.

Sorry for the lack of updates for the past month or so. I haven’t really been into blogging lately. I seem to get that way from time to time.
This past week was kinda sucky. Both Chris and I got sick (probably the flu). I havent been out of the house since last Wednesday, so I’ve been sitting around here trying to get better. So far, so good. Chris on the other hand STILL went to work even though he felt like crap and had absolutely no energy.
Tomarrow (well actually 4pm today!) starts his vacation and I think he goes back on the 13th. Im both happy and not so happy about his vacation. I like him being home, but every vacation he has we end up getting on each others nerves. We dont really have the money to go anywhere, so I guess we’ll just hang around here and get some much needed housework done or something.
We haven’t gotten our car back that was stolen a few weeks ago. Its sitting in impound in the county south of us. Its gonna cost us $200 to get it out, plus we gotta make the payment on it, plus insurence…well over $400. That money we do not have. I have no clue what we are gonna do, we also have other bills that HAVE to be paid, like rent, phone and then there is gas and food that is needed for the next two weeks.
Anyway, Im gonna go. Not sure when the next time Ill be able to blog.

The police just called to inform me that our car has been located in the county below us and the driver has been arrested and is being charged with a number of things. We can pick our car up. WOOHOO!

This has not been a good year when it comes to cars and transpertation. Last week our Nissan broke down and had to have the water pump replaced. We went with it for about four days, meanwhile borrowing Chris’s mom’s Explorer. We got it back and not even a week later Chris does something stupid…
….He lets a so called ‘friend’ borrow the car while he was work. This friend he doesn’t know that well, but thought he could trust her. She was supposed to bring the car back to Chris around 8pm Sunday. She never showed up. He got a ride home and three days later she still has it. Chris reported her and the police are looking for her, but no luck yet.
The day after she took it we heard from the cops that her mom had reported a stolen gun. She had broken into her moms place and stole her 9mm gun. Now she is on the run with a stolen vehicle and is armed. Believe me, I am scared to DEATH and hope she gets caught soon, before someone gets hurt.
Anyway, the good news of the week is that we got our Thunderbird fixed. It was something small that could have been fixed a long time ago, meaning buying the Nissan wasn’t really nessesary, if we had known it was at a shop that didn’t know crap about cars. We sent it somewhere else for a second opinion and it was fixed in one day and for only $80.
Chris is on his way back from picking it up. Landun is gonna be so happy to see his ‘Lightning McQueen” lol

Yesterday was the worst day I have had in a very long time. I woke up in a good mood, but my ankle was kinda hurting. I could walk on it it, so I cleaned for about an hour and a half. The more I walked on it, the more it hurt. So, I was stuck sitting for most of the day.
At lunchtime I went to get something out of the freezer, only to realize everything in it was thawed out and ruined. Apparently one of the kids messed with the knobs and turned everything to its lowest setting. I turned the settings up and everything refroze, but Im not eating any of it. Chris came home and something, but didnt get sick. I was so irratated by that. It happens once a month, only last month all we had was popsickles and a few frozen dinners. We had so much more this time around 
.
Around 3pm I eat some soup, a pb&j sandwich and a Dr Pepper. Not to long after that I was hit with yet another gallstone attack. It lasted for about an hour. I took some tylenol and a very hot bath. I ended up passing out on the bed for two hours. I woke up not feeling to great so I took another dose of tylenol, messed around on the computer til it took effect then back to bed for the night I went.
I just got up at 11am. Thank goodness Landun is very good sleeper! The rest was much needed. Now my foot still hurts and Chris didnt do a darn thing to pick up after the kids yesterday while I was sick. So, I now have to figure out how to pick up a living room of toys, do dishes, mop the kitchen, and vaccum the living room without being on my foot too much. I dont think its possible, so I guess Ill do what I can.
Now today Chris was late for work cause the car ran hot. I hope there is nothing really wrong with it … other than needing water.
