Hi Kardiebelle, CONGRATS on the weight loss! You must be doing everything right, keep it up!

 

[keenercam]

Hey, kiddo! LOVE the new clippie! It sure looks GREAT on you! Much better than those 12 pounds did!!!
Thank you for saying I help inspire you. That makes me feel so very very good. I love reading your journal. You have made such drastic changes in your life and you are improving your life everyday for yourself and your family! What a great example you are setting for your kids. And I bet you have so much more energy to play with them! What a great mommy you are!

Your lunch at Red Lobster sounds great! Doesn't it feel awesome to make such great choices? I remember how uncomfortable I used to be in restaurants because I'd eat too much food and the wrong types of foods and then feel so sick and bloated that I didn't even want to get in the car to go home. And I never had energy to run errands, etc. after a meal in a restaurant because of overeating. Now, food is fuel. I can see you are doing all of that right and I know you must feel great about it!

Keep up the wonderful, awesome job! Here is a bouquet of "congratulations" flowers for you !





HUGS,
Cam

Thanks everyone, I like my new clippie. I have yet to get any exercise in at all today. I am going to do it just later on tonight. But I was so busy today. On Wednesdays I really scrub down the house. It seems that men (boys) really know how to mess a bathroom. (I'm sorry guys) I was putting in the DVD eariler and DH was sitting right there. I felt very uncomfortable with him sitting there. I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I do. I was a dancer all my life and I can't exercise in front or DH. He is very encouraging with my food and the way I look but I can't make that step in exercising by him now. I feel like he will see everything jiggle around which is not very attractive. The weird thing was that he kind of got mad about me not exercising in front of him.

Breakfast 1 boiled egg 70
1 piece of whole wheat with country crock spread 90

snack light ice cream and cone 170

lunch pieces of pizza

dinner salad with dressing
2 mcd's hamburgers they were 59 cents today
small fry

water 3 liters

huge hugs to everyone. kardiebelle

Yesterday was a really bad day. No exercise and no fridge. Everything was going great and then the kids started to fight. They would not let up all day. I tried to seperate them and they still found themselves back to each other. I will tell you one story. (beware ramble about to take place) DD4 was kicking DS3 I told her to stop and put her in time out. She sat there for a 30 seconds before she started to scream at the top of her lungs. I thought something happened so I went to her and she started to laugh. Then she woke DS10 months up (only asleep for 30 min) She started to run around again and I told her she is going to be put back in time out and she looked me in my eyes and said "just try it, just try to put me there." I said what and she repeated herself again. I could not believe she said that. I gave her a good yelling and put he in time out again and she sat there. While all this was happening I was trying to call places because our fridge broke. I was mad it is exactly 1 year and 1 month that we had the fridge. The one year warrenty expired and we just got a letter to renew it but we had not yet. I called sears and they told me that I can't renew it at that time because our fridge is broke so I have to fix the fridge and then renew it. So I asked how much is it going to cost she told me $65 for them to come out and tell me what is wrong with it. Then they will tell me from there how much it will cost me to fix it. Isn't that crazy. I know they have a computer chip in things now and I think they program them to shut down after 1 year. All of our food is ruined.

Breakfast bowl of cereal and toast
lunch mac & cheese with hotdogs
dinner cheese ravoli with sauce and mot. cheese with 1 garlic toast. salad with light dressing.

Today is going o.k. considering I am waiting for the sears repairman to come. They said for 8-noon. The kids are good considering that I had the T.V. on all morning. I had to throw away all of our food in the fridge now. I will update later on the price the man is going to make me pay.

breakfast 1 waffle w/1 TBSP of light syrup and 1 sausage link

Hi Kardiebelle!!!

Oh my I am not sure I could deal with children running around acting like that in the middle of a fridge crisis!! Congrats on getting through it!!
Maybe I should bring over some cold pizza so you can a nice relaxing lunch!
hehe!

Hey mike cold pizza and hamburger soup will be better. Well today The man came at 11:45 a.m. I didn't get to feed the kids lunch till 1:00. He takes apart the whole fridge and saw that he didn't have the part that I need to fix the fridge. We had to special order it. I was going to cost us 250 but since they didn't have the part and since they saw the warrenty was only expired for a couple of weeks. They are allowing us to pay for the renewal warrenty $75 and thats it. We lucked out. I guess with one bad day it pays off.

Today was a little bad with the food

lunch I had a ramon noodle soup
dinner rice, gravy, pork chop, and corn no salad because everything went bad in the fridge.
snack a whole oreo McFlurry so bad I missed it and now the craving is gone. This was not good at all. tomarrow is a new day.

Exercise the WATP 4 mile and body toning
water 1.5 liters

wishing luck to everyone for tomarrow. talk to you later.

Sorry to hear about your fridge. You eat what you can when you have those issues and no food - what are you suppose to do right!!!

I am like you, I cannot tell dh how much I weight nor can I work out in front of him. I have been going to Jazzercise and I've had a hard time working out in front of people - especially people I know. But I've done it - I know it's helped having my dd with me too and seeing that there are some people heavier than me as well.

Keep up the good work!!!!
Keep on
Chris

Hi, Kardiebelle! How are you today? I was thinking about you and your fridge situation. Hope your life is a little calmer by now.

Take care of yourself!

 

[kardiebelle]

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a couple of days. My life is still a little messy. The fridge is still out and my brother gave us a small fridge to live on for the week. It's not that bad now that we got used to it but we can only fit the few thing that are a need. Well it was going to cost us 250 but sears gave us a discount because the manufactures warrenty was only expired for 3 weeks. They told me if I renew the warrenty for $75 then I can get everything else included in it. I took it because now the fridge will be covered for the rest of the year. I really lucked out. All of the kids are very sick now. Iwas up all night with all 3 of them but now I am feeling it come on. I haven't been taking my vitamins the past few day either. Well hopefully tomarrow is a better day.
I have been keeping up with the food intake and the exercise. Tomarrow is the scale day wish me luck everyone. I am ready to see the numbers go down. Well talk to you later on. kardiebelle

 

[Cruise04]

Oh no, hope you get to feeling better soon. Take care of yourself and start those vitamins up again!!!!

Good luck with the frig.

Keep on
Chris

I am down one more pound this week. I kind of knew it was now going to be that big because of the fridge problem. But hey I will take the pound instead of nothing, right? DH had to of brought something home from the hospital because we all got sick here within a couple of hours. It's amazine how many germs he brings home from his clothes. The kids still have their energy though. DS10 months is starting to pull himself us which only means one things he will be walking in the next few months. Now I have to watch all of the corners.

Goals for this week
--Exercise at least 4 times this week with one of them to be outside.
--Calculate the calorie intake on paper.
--Start to read my pile of books.
--Start to get pledges for my aids walk and walk for diabetes.

Does anyone have any ideas for kids to help raise money our walks at the end of August?

Breakfast
2 pieces of toast with country crock spread
light raspberry yogurt

You are doing so well with your weight loss! Congratulations! I saw on the Summer Challenge, you are well on your way.

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Kardiebelle! Congrats on the weight loss, even though you didn't have complete control over your food choices. So glad it worked out for you with the fridge warranty, and I hope the replacement part situation is handled quickly.

So sorry to hear you are all sick. Your exercise goals are ambitious considering the heat and illness and accomodating the children. You are amazing!

Have a great day, sweetie! I'll be thinking of you and hoping you are all feeling great soon.

 

[Cruise04]

Good job on the one pound loss!!! You know, maybe your sickness had something to do with the frig - maybe you ate something that had started to go bad. Although I can imagine what germs your husband might be bringing home on him!!!

Keep up the good work!
Keep on
Chris

Hi Kardiebelle!

Big congrats on your loss! Dealing with a broken fridge and still losing is great! Good job!

Hope that you and your kids feel better soon!

[kardiebelle]

Thanks Mike, We are feeling better. We all just have runny noses. But I got a call today from Sears telling me my part was on back order and they will not get it till Aug 1. So I have a appointment on Aug 3. Another week without a fridge. Its very hard. I feel the strain on my body. We are eating out alot and I am getting to the junk food. It is only a small amount but it does add up. I feel Like I am losing control again. I have to find myself. I have been exercising alot but the food needs to change.

I HAVE TO START TO WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN! I know this will help me but I feel like I am so busy to take a minute to do it. This is my goal tomarrow.

I hope everyone else is doing better then me.

 

[lillygator]

wow - no fridge! I hope they get that part in soon!! Have a great day!
