It has been a whirl-wind month (July). I am on vacation as a teacher but it has been sooooooooooooooo busy. I was gone for two and half weeks and since I got back I have not stopped.
*Roo (DD) had swim lessons for two weeks straight at the Y (she did so amazing and learned so quickly---I am so proud of her.)
*I have worked out an average of 3-4 times a week (mostly in the mornings and have taken some classes, which I love).
*Painted the downstairs bathroom, painted the master bath, re-painted the bathroom cabinets and replaced hardware
*Called and seen about 5-6 different lawn and deck people for quotes on building a new deck and getting some landscaping done for the front yard.
*Planned a Pampered Chef party for this Thursday
* Took Roo to the dentist--she screamed like a banshee! But then calmed down for the last half. Her teeth are great!
*Organized a garage sale for this Saturday
*Went out with friends a few times to eat and movies
*Babysat
*Went on a few dates with my hubby
*Had oral surgery -OUCH
*Pushed, carried, shoved, lugged a dresser from my van, into the house and up the stairs BY MYSELF!!!!!!!!!! I hurt when I was done.
*Pushed, carried, shoved, lugged a queen size mattress and box spring onto the top of my van, tied it down to take to the dump BY MYSELF! I hurt when I was done!
*Pruned and elevated the trees in the front yard---I used a pole saw and more than hurting my arms, it hurt my neck to look up that long. Again, by myself. And yes, I hurt!
*I have taken my daughter to the fountains, the pool, play dates, parks, movies, walks etc....all in an effort to keep her active and busy and happy. I feel like a single mom this summer b/c hubby has been working so much. He has worked 2 weekends this month and when he is off, he wants to veg.
*Oh, and I lost 5 pounds! I am down to 204!!! Almost to ONE-DERLAND
*Hubby and I are trying for another baby. I have been waiting b/c I wanted to lose weight first. But I keep toying with the same pounds over and over again. So, before I am ancient and dry up and can't have kids (I know, I am being dramatic) and before Roo is too much older, I thought we should go ahead and do it. After all, a lot of people wait until they have money, but MANY people have children with little or no money. That being said, I only stopped taking the pill about 2 weeks ago, so obviously no news yet---lol
My dad is back in the hospital tonight with a bowel obstruction and exploratory surgery. He was doing really well since my last post. Please keep him and me in your prayers.

I'm stressed and showing it.................
Is it really only Wednesday???
I feel like I have lived enough in three days for three weeks. I am stressed out. So much is going on right now that I find it hard to focus on one thing at a time and therefore my food choices have SUCKED.
1.) My dad is sick. The latest: His esophagus is blocked by something and he can't eat or drink. However, his lungs are so weak with the pneumonia that they don't want to scope it out b/c they are afraid he'd go into respiratory distress. If that happened they were afraid they would have to put him on a ventilator and that he might not be able to come off of it. He hasn't eaten in days (like 5) and he has been in ICU for 7. And not eating is messing up his diabetes. (Vicious cycle)
2.) This week is the big End Of Grade Tests (EOG) in our state (NC). I have prepared my students as much as I can, however, I want them to succeed so badly and I ache for those who struggle. Also, the last few weeks I reviewed all the necessary skills and it has been intensive; for me and the students. But the last two days, with only one more to god thank goodness, I have walked and paced my room for three hours straight while watching the kids test. We have to be on constant alert for problems as they test. I only sat down twice today---both times for about 3 minutes.
3.) My husband is having trouble at work and we are a cross-roads. He can stay and be miserable and possibly get fired (the boss dislikes him) OR look for another job (which he has sent his resume out to see what is out there) OR start his own business (which of course has its own possible pitfalls). He has wanted to start his own biz for a long time....... So stressed out on the future of our little family.
4.) I start (TOM)b next week so I know I am bloated and hormonal and edgy but I feel completely out of control food wise. There was so much food at school the last couple of days b/c they were feeding the volunteers-----donuts, granola bars, coffee, bagels.........ugh. I DID walk away from everything but a granola bar on Tuesday but ate 1/4 of a donut today. Luckily it was gross or I probably would have eaten the whole thing. But I will take a victory where ever I can.
5.) I have only lost 12 pounds since Feb!!! Twelve pounds in 4 months!!! That's NOTHING! I feel like such a failure. I am so frustrated and tired.
6.) ONE GOOD THING: I have managed to work out for 5 days last week and already 3 this week. I have that part mostly under control. I am still not sure what I am doing though. Should I be changing it up more? How long is long enough? Should I add weights? Which ones? How much? How often? Arms? Legs? Abs? Back? How many calories should I eat to lose weight? I am clueless. I just get on and go for 30-40 minutes and hope for the best. I DO change machines every once in awhile but I love the elliptical b/c it doesn't hurt my knees. So I stick to it mostly. I DO take classes every Saturday too, and some of them involve weights.
Anyway, sorry for the WHINE fest? Thanks for "listening".

This is my darling daughter Riley. We had just come home and it was lightly raining. She asked if she could dance in the rain. My first thought was , "No. Let's go in the house so we don't get wet." Then I checked myself. Why not? Why can't she get wet? It was a warm day and it wasn't raining hard. Let her dance in the rain! So I did. And she loved it! Look at her! So happy. So care-free. My heart is just so happy to see her happy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture because it shows how incredibly innocent she is. Some days I wish I could go back to those simplistic times and release all the stress and frustration being an adult brings. Right now, as I struggle and work and strive to lose weight, I think it would be really nice to go back when choosing to eat or not eat ice-cream (brownies, cookies, pies, chips, chocolate.... insert your vice here) wasn't such a monumental decision.
However, I have made many changes in my life and made some really important life-altering decisions. While, body and weight-wise, I am not where I want (or need) to be, I am proud of how far I have come. So, trudging forward but not looking back! Onward ho! (Hey! Who called me a ho????) lol

Anniversary and weight loss
Today is my eighth anniversary! I can not believe we have been together for 10 years and married 8!! It has been and up-and-down ride with my hubby. Not always terrific but definitely not always awful! I love him so much and I see an even more wonderful man who has emerged from the wonderful man I married. He's getting better! LOL As am I. I hope.
It is that TOM and yesterday I came home from work and just crashed. I was so tired and I had a SPLITTING headache. I couldn't even read b/c my head and eyes hurt so badly. Luckily, hubby took DD and kept her downstairs and let me be. He's a doll.
I technically started this am and I jumped on the scale when I got up in absolute terror of how much water weight I had gained. Amazingly the scale said 212.8 (almost two pounds down from Friday). Now, I know that is probably not 100% accurate being the TOM and all, I still am hoping it is somewhat accurate or even wrong on the high-end!!! (Hey, a girl can hope can't she????) lol.
Another NSV: Monday, because I wasn't feeling well, was very hard. I DID not want to go work out. But I went anyway and while I did not work out with the "umph" I normally do, I did work out. I burned calories and I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I am so proud of ME!!!!!!! woo hoo

I'm a LOSER
I lost a pound, I lost a pound! (Doing the crazy "I'm losing weight dance").
I was sooooooo happy with the scale and with myself this am! Down a pound to 214. I will change the ticker soon. I have been struggling since mid-January to lose weight. I am down 7 pounds is ALL!!!!! Such a plateau.
But I felt so positive today and I hope the trend continues. I am working out on average 3-4 times a week. (Except for that crazy busy week where I only got in 2 and that one super week when I got in 5). So, I feel really good about myself even though the scale isn't cooperating as much as I'd like.
Tomorrow I am going garage-selling with my cute daughter, then to work out, then to get haircuts! A girl's day out! Can't wait.

Blah Blah Blah
I have FINALLY lost 6 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! REJOICE REJOICE!!! Thank goodness.
Even with that victory, I am not feeling good today. I have given myself permission to be BLAH today. I really. really don't feel like doing anything.
I am a teacher. And a good one if I do say so myself. I think I am fair. I think I am tough in all the right ways. But my job is hampered by PARENTS. One student told his parents I was losing his assignments and that was why he had zeros!! And they believed him! They wanted me to sign a piece of paper stating every time he turned in an assignment so that we could monitor the fact that HE was turning in assignments and I was losing them.
Well, no thank you, I do NOT need a parent micro-managing me. So, I politely refused and said I would be more than glad to sign his planner as he walked out the door if he wrote his homework down. (Most of his missing assignments were homework yet it was MY fault he was getting zeros!). Signing his planner would put us all on the same team: mom and dad checking it at home, teacher checking it as school.........but oh, no. THEY could micro-manage ME but I could not micro-manage their son! GOOD GRIEF! So, my principal moved him to another class room. It made me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!! I did not have a bad relationship with the kid---his parents were the problem. And now his parents have won! That is how I feel. I am sure they are telling all their friends how they got one over on the teacher! Grrrrrrrrrr
On top of not sleeping well for two nights in a row, this just did me in! I went out to eat. Still managing to stay at 1,565 calories for the day. But I was mad b/c I ate chicken tenders (3), a roll, ranch dressing..........sigh! However, I DID eat a side salad and a cup of vegetable soup. And there were 5 chicken tenders and I only ate three. So, not a complete cave in just a small mud slide! But GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hubby and I are doing a little better. I no longer feel that we are destined to part. He is soo busy. It is 8:55 p.m. right now and I have not seen him since 7:00 a.m. He hasn't seen our daughter either. :-(
Ok, that's all the news that's fit to print.

Kicking butt but sad
Weird how emotions seem to rule my day. I feel so "roller-coaster-y" today. One minute I am feeling psyched and pumped and ready to go and then the next I remember that my marriage is falling apart.
Today was the first day back to school after Spring Break. Hubby did ABSOLUTELY nothing with DD and I while we were off. I asked. I begged. I had her ask. Nada. But come Friday night and he hopped into his friend's convertible and went out for drinks, dinner and a movie. A man date.
I didn't say this in my earlier post from two Friday's ago b/c I was embarrassed. The night I got in the fender bender my husband didn't stay home with me. He went out with his buddy mentioned above. Now technically I wasn't hurt. I had a huge headache from the stress of the whole thing, I was worried about the van and DD. It was scary and I was still a little shaken.
I wanted him to WANT to stay home and baby me. He did not. I even told him I wanted him to stay home. I cried. He left. I felt so dejected and downhearted and abandoned. That's the night I went to Chili's---with a headache, with a HEARTache and ate a TON of chips. Just me and my daughter. I felt like crying the whole time. SIGH.
Tonight he did something to my daughter that broke my heart. He was laying down with his dog (who is elderly and really going down hill.) He has has this dog since college and it is breaking his heart that she is dying. DD came up and was jealous of daddy hugging Cinco. So said, "Daddy I want you to hold me." And he told her no, that he was holding the damn, stupid dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have nothing against Cinco, but he just basically told my daughter the dog was more important. It was mean. And I wanted to kick him really hard. Seriously wanted to kick him. DD was there so I did not. I bit my tongue b/c I didn't want to make a big deal about it in front of her.
Then later I was upstairs bathing DD and putting her to bed. I yelled down to him b/c I wanted him to quickly check the weather for tomorrow on his laptop so I could lay out clothes for her. I called his name. No answer. I could hear him playing some video on his laptop. I called again louder in case he didn't hear me. No answer. Again. No answer. I got louder and angry and yelled his name once more. And he finally answered, "I'm working. I thought maybe you could have been able to tell that." How was I suppose to know??? He watches youtube videos constantly so how was I suppose to know he was watching work related stuff. He completely ignored me calling his name. Made me feel insignificant. Not even worth answering.
It does NOT help that it is TOM time. So I am probably over reacting! But the issues are still there.
Anyway, this blog is suppose to be about weight loss................ I have started the 9 -day IsaGenix cleanse. I am hoping to lose some weight and to kick start my weight loss and metabolism. Otherwise, I am giving up. (and no that is not TOM speaking)
SIGH
Thanks for "listening" oh multitude of people out there. If you pray, pray for me and my family.

Trouble
Ok, I have lost all of a grand total of ............(drum roll please) .9! POINT 9, in case it is so small you can't see it!! UGH UGH and double UGH.
I was on Spring Break this week and I took two classes (which I completely enjoyed) and worked out the other days on the elliptical. (a total of five workouts). I also went swimming twice with my daughter. Now, she's three, so we aren't doing laps mind you, but at least I am more active (and getting in a bathing suit...YIKES). However, the scale refuses to budge. I am about to do something drastic! I haven't decided what that "something drastic" will be but probably something to the effect of cutting out all carbs (except vegetable carbs which are natural). I have changed over to a vinaigrette over ranch which I don't enjoy as much....but hey, you do what you gotta do. I am eating more grilled meats, more grains, more salads etc.... I drink plenty of water. (12-14 glasses a day---most days.)
My husband supports, uses and sells these cleanings products called IsaGenix. They work GREAT! They cleanse you, they provided well-balanced nutrients and as a by-product of cleansing you out, you lose weight. They have a 9 day cleanse and a 30 day cleanse. You eat one sensible meal a day and have a meal-replacement shake (or bar) the other two meals. They also have supportive nutrients and snacks and stuff to help you through it. Then one or two days you fast but drink these concentrated juices to keep a balance.
My hubby lost 30 pounds in 30 days doing the program. The first time I did I lost 16 pounds in 9 days. Then, like any other diet program, I deviated, lost interest and gained it all back. SIGH! I may go ahead and do another 9-day cleanse and see if that will at least kick-start my metabolism. I have never had a metabolism. It would be nice to have one.
But here's the biggest trouble I am facing. I think my marriage is falling apart. We had some-what of a talk tonight. I feel like none of my needs are being met and he feels like none of his needs are being met. I suggested we write down three things we need from each other and then work on meeting those needs this week for each other. He said the only thing he needed from me was to be left alone. I started crying. How can we go anywhere if he doesn't need or want me anymore? He didn't have an answer and the ugly truth is just lying there between up--driving us farther apart. Divorce. Is that where this is heading? I don't want that for myself and I sure in hell don't want that for our daughter. Although, truthfully, I already feel like a single mom most of the time. She spends 99% of her times with me (when she isn't is school etc...).
Well, I am going to finish this post and power down for Earth Day. Hope many of you are doing the same.

'Cause you gotta have friends.........
Went to work a little bummed today. Still not losing. What changes do I need to make????? What am I doing wrong?????
My friend Dawn is super-fit and so sweet and cute. She is about 126 pounds and works out like a fiend. She has a trainer and everything. She is the most disciplined person I know. I love her to death though because for all of that, she does NOT rub anything in my face. She is so helpful and really only offers advice when I ask.
I went to her classroom a few days ago crying and she came to check on me today and offered me her menu plans her trainer had put together. Now mind you she is 1/3 my size and works out a LOT--so I am SURE our calorie needs are different. But I am going to try it. I can't start tomorrow------just did not make it to the store for the supplies. However, I AM going to try it. I figure even if I change my diet radically for a few days, maybe it will kick start my metabolism. And it can't be BAD for me, it's from her trainer and look at her hot bod!!!!!!!!
She also said she would share with me her work out routine that her trainer put together for her. I KNOW I will have to modify it because she is so far ahead of me, but any kind of structure will be good. Right now I DO work out 4-5 times a week and I am constantly changing things up on the elliptical machine. But more structure from a source that knows will help.
Not feeling too humorous today.........so post is probably kinda dull.

I figure even if I change my diet radically for a few days, maybe it will kick start my metabolism. And it can't be BAD for me, it's from her trainer and look at her hot bod!!!!!!!!
She also said she would share with me her work out routine that her trainer put together for her. I KNOW I will have to modify it because she is so far ahead of me, but any kind of structure will be good. Right now I DO work out 4-5 times a week and I am constantly changing things up on the elliptical machine. But more structure from a source that knows will help.
Not feeling too humorous today.........so post is probably kinda dull.
