Thanksgiving Vacation

I thought that I had better post a quick update about me... in case you were wondering and missed my post where I stated that I was taking a week vacation from my blog, well... I am taking a week vacation from my blog!

I decided that with all the things that go with being busy during this holiday that I needed to take a breather.  I met a monumental goal to lose 20 pounds, and I even lost a few more since my last weigh in!  I thought I really needed a break so that I could start back up ready and energized!

I'll be back Monday, November 28th with a weigh-in and ready to hit the diet hard before Christmas comes around!

Happy Thanksgiving you all!

I'm thankful for this blog, and all of you!  You have really helped me be honest with myself, and you have helped me be accountable for my weight loss.  The motivation has been wonderful!  So thank you!

Happy losing!

See you Monday!

Baby K and Crawling? So close!

The first video is of  Baby K at home.  He is dabbling in crawling.  However, he usually winds up sliding around on the slick tile.





This second video was taken when we went to Lubbock, Texas.  There is a mall there with a pretty fun play area for the kids.  Baby K just thought it was the coolest thing on this earth!  He really let out some playful personality!  Overall, he is a quiet baby, so this was a treat, even for us!



Big T and Little H are both doing great too!  I have some pictures that I took just before Halloween.  I'll see about getting them posted before Thanksgiving!

Goals saturday: R&R

Hello this evening! I went on a trip to a nearby city with a youth group from our church. We are on our way home, so I thought I'd finally post. Forgive me for being so late. I'll male this brief since typing on my mobile is slow work. However technology is awesome!

My goals for this week are:

Rest and relaxation.
Come up with new blogging ideas.
Remember my eating goals during "the feast"
To exercise at least 3 times this next week.

Remember, I am taking the whole week off. I'll check in on facebook, but I will lost likely take advantage of my holiday week with my family.

Good luck this week!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Adversity Thursday: Meet a Goal but Don't Lose Motivation

As of Monday, I have lost 20 lbs total....!!!!  I am so excited about it!  However, I have lost 20 pounds on more than one occasion.  Its awesome!  Every time, I feel better and am so pleased with myself for doing it.  So what is the adversity in this?

another resource for a lemon detox here

That is pretty much the amount of weight that I have lost at one go.  That has been my peak.  For the most part, I wound up getting pregnant after 20 pounds, so the continued weight loss was not really an option.  So now that this little mini-goal is met, I have to refresh the motivation and continue to lose weight.

I'll be honest... I mean, this is an Honest Weight Loss project.  I have been slacking greatly in all areas of my program.  Now that two months are nearly complete of the program, I need to make a change to make it exciting again.  A new workout?  Maybe.. I've been doing a new workout almost every week.  I think that most difficult thing for me last week was my lack of sleep.  Which I'm happy to report that last night, I went to bed at 9!!  That's a record in a long long time.

So maybe I need to look more towards my diet.  I am sure that most of you have heard about detox cleanses right?  Well, maybe that would be a good way to put a jolt in my body.  It is already getting comfortable with my current routine... and frankly, I'm not giving in at 20 pounds down.  I have 80 more to go!

What are your thoughts about fasting cleanses?  I'm seriously considering it after Thanksgiving.  I'd love your feedback about it.  I'll let you know what I find out about it.  Here is the website that I have been reading.  Check it out.

Thoughts?  Comments?  Feel free!

Happy losing!
