I’m living in a Slimquick commercial arghhhh!

Okay , how is it that I have to work my tail off to even lose one pound and my hubby eats all kinds of goodies and loses 4 pounds ? I mean did I miss something ? I struggle so much to lose weight and feel like that darn Slimquick commercial you know, the one where the girl barely loses anything and the guy totally slims down ! I know I am doing the right things and he tells me all the time how different I’m starting to look but, I can’t help wonder why the weight can just fall right off of him and me it just waves at me and sticks out it’s tongue !The only good thing is that I am back down to 148 again! Hoooraaaaah! Kimmi

All He could say was “WOW!”

Yeah isn’t it nice when your brother in law almost spills the dip he’s eating when you walk in ! I think it is ! I walked in there and he almost spilled the dip on himself ! He said “Wow, and mumbled “How much have you lost ?” of course I heard him and answered”Thirty-four pounds and counting ! Now usually I don’t like to rub this in but this time felt so good after he had been so mean before ! He asked me what I was doing and I told him WW and exercising everyday at the gym ! My hubby’s sister also told me I looked great but she’s never made fat jokes at least this sister anyways ! Yes, I bet so many of you were wondering what happened with that ! It really made it easier to stick to my guns about not gorging myself on tons of snack foods and eating smaller portions ! I did however have one fourth of a glass of wine but no biggie ! I don’t dare drink any more than that cuz I’m a lightweight when it comes to alcohol ! So yes twas I who got that last laugh ! Kimmi

Didn’t exactly meet my goal !

As some of you might remember  I put out there my goal of being 148 by today ! Well I did try very hard to make that goal and had even gotten there for two days but it jumped up to 150(pound and a half )on Wednesday or Thursday. I have worked really hard and went down to 149 again so, I will go in there with my head held high and know I did my best to reach my goal ! I can actually say that I am not mad that I didn’t reach the goal cuz I know I did my best ! I hope every one enjoys every moment of this holiday ! Remember to be good to each other ! Merry Christmas ! Kimmi

A little piggy told me so !

I know the title sounds crazy huh !  Well it’s absolutely true !  My wonderful neighbors brought me and my family over some goodies on Thursday ! I sampled a few a told my hubby what in the world are we going to do ,I’m gonna eat these treats if we don’t do something !  Well daughter bless her little heart said “Mom, let’s put them up here in the the cabinet with the diet pig !” My mother got me a little diet pig that when the cabinet is opened it says phrases like” If at first you don’t succeed , nothing in here will help !” and “UH AH, Don’t even thin about it !”  it really sounds silly but it really has helped to hear her say her crazy phrases and make me think before  I eat !   I plan on taking some to my family get togethers  so I don’t over indulge !  So happy holidays and don’t over indulge too much cuz my little piggy says so ! Kimmi

Having Technical difficulties !

Why is it when your doing good something bad always happens ? This morning I stepped on the scale and I was 150 , which means I up a pound and a half . I don’t understand this ! I have been so good no nibbles of sweets, I have said No to everything so why am I up in weight ? I have been faithful to my exercise as well  so what went wrong ?  I haven’t a clue but anybody with some ideas please help me ! Kimmi

I lost 4lbs. this week !

It really feels like I’m dreaming and I’ll wake up at any time ! You all know I had a really bad weekend last week which slammed me up to 154 lbs. ! So as I told you all I have a little goal of getting down to 148lbs. before Christmas eve ! Well I am so proud to tell you I have two pounds to to get to that ! I am down to 150 lbs. !  I have hit my buddyslim mini goal yeah ! Well I’m going to tell you I have worked out in the afternoon this week and it has really paid off , plus I last night was a real test in eating out ! We went to a family restaurant here in town while everybody else ordered something fattening I ate a bite or two of Chicken and Dumpling soup which was the lowest in fat of all the soups (gave the rest to my daughter!) and then had a Julienne salad with fat free dressing ! I didn’t eat the cheese on it or the egg or tomato(allergic) for that matter  ! So for the most part I ate lettuce,ham &chicken and dressing ! I was so surprised how full I was when we left !  So just changing around a thing or two this week has really helped ! Thanks for listening  to me ramble on but it is necessary for me to celebrate each victory as it comes ! Have a great weekend !  Kimmi

Back on track and have a little goal !

Those of you I promised to make this a good week , I have been keeping my promise ! Yesterday I did a lot of thinking and came to realize I am able to do this ! Well with all that thinking I came up with a little goal that can be obtained easily and will make me feel better ! So , here goes my goal for every person on here to read ! I am going to get down to 148 lbs. by Christmas eve ! Okay many of you are saying how many pounds to go is that well it is exactly 3-4 pounds ! Now I know I can do that ! Everyone knows I wasn’t able to go to Thanksgiving  but hopefully will be able to go to Christmas eve and Christmas ! Christmas eve will be spent with his family(you know how they are I guess Catty would be a good word!) I still want to shock them ! I will show them the new me ! Alright so yesterday, hubby and I went to the gym together and the lady at the front desk asked me and hubby how much weight we had lost and we both told her and went on in the gym ! Well I was on one machine for a while and decided to switch to the one right next to my hubby . Well he then switched machines for a little while and just left the gym . Well I was like okay, and continued to finish my workout ! Probably like ten minutes later he came in looking for me ! I was really confused at that point ! He asked me where did I go ,and that he’s been looking for me for ten minutes ! Well I told him I was right next to him at the last part of his workout ,and he said you really are starting to look different and I guess that’s how I missed you ! I had a good laugh over that ! I just don’t see what he’s seeing but, it sure made me feel good ! Well Thanks for listening !  Kimmi

I am the biggest loser(and not in a good way!)

Okay boys and girls can we all say “Loser”. Yes , very good ! Okay, now I will get serious ! Last night I gave into the bad foods calling me ! I ate because I wasn’t feeling good in the first place and because eating bad was better than telling off the ones I love ! It started when my hubby wanted to go see a karate place that was about 45 minutes away from where we live ! I really didn’t want to go, and to put the kids in the car with us to go was like having wrestlemania  in the back seat ! While in the car I ate some beef jerky which wasn’t low fat or low in salt either ! Then when we got home my hubby made Homemade chili which wouldn’t have been to bad if I hadn’t put cheese in it , and I had a big bowl of it ! So when I stepped on the scale this morning I knew it was going to be bad ! I had gained a pound on top of what I have been trying to get off this week so now I have two extra ponds to get off ! So this morning I am eating better and plan to exercise no matter what ! I am writing this because I really feel I need to be honest with people when I do stupid stuff like this ! Right now I am emotionally on a roller coaster and have been fighting off binging left and right  but just couldn’t seem to do it last night ! I am really ashamed of myself !  So now I will end my super long blog ! Thanks to everyone who reads this ! Have a great weekend ! Kimmi

Feeling Yucky !!!!!

Today , I am feeling under the weather . Not feeling depressed or anything  like that just feel yuck ! I want to exercise today but, I think I’m going to take it easy because I have exercised everyday this week and the past couple of days I have exercised twice daily ! I plan on eating better this weekend than I did last weekend ! Last weekend I ate some really crappy foods like on Sat. I ate lots of chili dip at a friends house  while scrapbooking ! Then on Sun. we went out for breakfast and I ate from a breakfast buffet and you know that means unlimited food ! I really did pay for it though , I gained three pounds and had a massive stomach ache on Sunday for eating so much ! So this week I decided to pick up the pace and do double duty  to lose those pounds , which has been pretty successful ! I lost two of the pounds I gained and I am trying for that third ! I will get rid of that pound ! So I’m wondering if I should even try to exercise right now or just take it easy for the day ? Any thoughts ? Have a Great Weekend !  Kimmi
