Week 12

Despite having a birthday party, and having family up, I am down 2 more pounds! YAY!!! I only have 2 more until I hit my next goal, I will be super excited. I survived another surgery (Gallbladder removal), but I have great support, absolutly awesome husband, who does what he can to take care of me, and a wonderful Doctor that is so great!! Although this surgery was one the simpliest, routine surgeries I have been through, I think I was in the most pain from it. I couldn't eat for a week before and nearly a week after it, because I would get sick (despite taking Zofran). But I am finally starting to feel better, a week later! I only have three more scars, instead of four, and they are small... So no biggie, not like I wear bikinis anymore anyways! So thats it for Week 12. I will post new pics next week!

week 10

Week 10!

Goal hit of 40 pounds lost!!!

This week I officially hit my mark of over 40 pounds lost! I am so excited, and never looking back!!! Will and I celebrated 8 years of being married, and I can say that it has been a wonderful 8 years! We went out to Outback (which by the way was yummy but sucks trying to find a healthy, low fat dish with small portions) for dinner, and I still managed to lose weight this week. So I must be doing something right! I found some new, low fat recipes I plan on trying this week. My kids love sea food, so I might incorporate some sea food into our diets more. If I like these recipes, I will post them on my food blog. Which can be found here! Well I hope everyone else enjoys this coming week, I will be trying to get back on schedule!!! LOL!

Week 8

Wow, week 8 already!!! I can't beleive it is already here! This past week has been pretty busy... But I managed to get in three runs, and two cardio workouts! Not bad! Wish I could've done more... but I still managed to lose 2 pounds this week!!! Slowly but surely I will be at my goal! I did manage to break that milestone I was talking about... barely today, but I did it! YAY! So here are this weeks pics! Sorry for the few, not very glamourous, it was just after a run!

These were the ones that I was saying was just after the run! Not bad for just running 2.9 miles!

This one was taken Saturday before a relief Society brunch!

And this one is just after I had my hair all cut off! A new look for the half of me thats left!

Week 5,6, & 7

So I guess most of you check this thing for the pics, so we will get that part out of the way!! :) Here is what I have from the past week, enjoy!

I look mad in this one, but don't look at the face, just the rest!

My personal fav, and not sure why?

hehehehehe, me with all my attitude and all!

Oh this one is so pretty!

Ok everyone, so tomorrow is week seven, and sorry for skipping week 5, but not much happened, and I was so dang busy! But I know there are people following, so I will post! :)

Week 5 and 6: Gained 2 pounds (not sure how the heck I managed it...) lost 4. So I broke even, then lost two more... I still have one more milestone I am trying to get past. I can't give you a number, but it will be a big deal for me. I haven't weighed that since before three of my babies! I only have one more pound and I am there! So I am excited, and looking forward to running it off this week! I am finding I can eat a little more. Still just a very little bit will fit, but it is more then the first and second week... Ok more than the first four weeks! LOL My kids think it is funny that mommy doesn't eat even as much as they do. In fact I still eat about half of what they do! But I guess it's ok! I had my doc run blood work this week, mainly becuase I feel so tired all the time, so I thought my iron level was off again, but he said everything is good! So we will see if it goes away with time. Well so far thats it for this week...

Ok, pics from week four!

Front view
Side view, man my bottom is still really round! Looks like another mile of running tonight...

Front view again!!! My fav! I think the front view is the most impressive, only because my curves are smooth again!!!! LOL

Video's for the surgery

Sorry I never posted this, and just realized it! LOL! Pretty gruesome for some to watch. Dade loves the second video! He has watched it several times.

to give you an idea.....

Ok so Mom left over a week ago .. It has been rough, but I am making it! So updates..... hmmm... Where to start... Well I went to the Doc's, and he cleared me for real food this week. I had gained two pounds when I was there, but I have lost those, plus two more. Who knows where it goes..... As of Sunday, I lost another inch of my tummy, as depressing as it is, I only lost 1/2 inch of my bottom, and 1/2 inch of thighs. I am thinking the 1/2 inch thing is becuase I only ran three days last week. LOL! This week however has been better. I have ran everyday since Saturday. I upped my run from 1/2 mile to a full mile. I did this because I gained two pounds last week, and wasn't happy with that number. It hasn't killed me, but some nights it hurts! But like Will says, "pain just lets you know you are still alive". I am glad he loves me! LOL! I guess thats it for now, sorry no new pics, but I haven't been able to get any good ones! I will though, adn I will post! Thanks for following, I Love the support!
