Parents arrive today-

I am so excited and exhausted trying toget everything just perfect for my parents and their arrival. It is exciting and nerveracking at the same time.
I was up late thte last few nights trying to get it all done. The house, the party plans for Austin, my new haircolor, and new haircut.
I weighed this am at 200.2 so I have sustained the best weight I have seen this round- Today is my last day of R1 P3.
I went early this morning and even got a spray tan- yes- I know very vein and fake but it does make me glow- and there is less to glow. The pasty white on my legs is gone and it helps cover some of the bruises I have on my legs from my B12 shots.
I tried this Versa Spa spray tan system here in town- so it was amazing- $20.00 and 5 minutes later- I look thinner, tanner and definately happier.
I don't know why I am so nervous- but I am.
I am anxious for their response- I hope it is good. I have invested way too much hype in this day- I am afraid I set myself up to be hurt- we will see!
No work tomorrow - Ssaturday is Austin's big day- I will try to post pics this weekend- the big reveal!

Stabilized

I am pleased to think I have stabilized this P3. Ihave been slowing introducing amounts of sugars, carbs ands starches this week. sunday corn chips- and alcohol- then Monday night- TOM :( and Tuesday night- two pieces of pizza. I was down two punds today after lots of water, a workout and two pieces of pizza.
I will be able to enjoy my sons first communion cake and not worry about it!
My parents fly in tomorrow- I am thrilled but not completely ready- I love to have everything ready but I not stressing- I can't freak out- it takes energy I need!
I will get it done and it will be good!
Austin is getting excited for his big day. Unfortunately I have alot of people bailing on him and who aren't coming- I am upset sinc eI have planned so much- but I have to refocus- this is for Austin and what he wants. I have had to scramble- I have had the caterer back out on me and then my back up plan back out on me so now I am cooking for the reception- yikes- did not plan on it- but sometimes it is easier if you do it yourself instead of relying on some people. Customer service around these parts has a huge price tag- so my price tag is time.
It will cost me time but I will sleep when i am dead- right!
See you tomorrow folks- I am debating about what to wear to the airport- the weather is changing and so I will see what is in the closet and looks good!

Fun weekend

I had a fun weekend, the weight stabilized really well considering the 2 tequila shots on Saturday mixed with the yummy margarita and then Sunday the mojto and glass of wine!
202.2 is what the scale said today- so that is well!
I will eat clean today for the sake of feeling better and getting more energy!
Busy week- Parents fly in Thursday and atons to do for the weekend. My caterer backed out on me saturday for this saturday - so we will see what I come up - needless to say B12 and getting to bed on time will be my plan!
Hovering over that 200 mark - so introducing those 13 blue corn chips yesterday ( a little earlier than I should) we will see I was pleased that it wasn't that bad on the scale - chips were good though! First chips since 2 months- atleast the guacomole attached to them was even better!
2 poached eggs fro breakfast and off we go to the final 4 days of P3. Really excited about this weekend!

Snow in April in AZ

Okay - Hell has frozen over, pigs are flying and thank GOD it is friday!
I work at a middle school so I really have seen pigs fly! Ha HA
weighed in today and was at 202.5 so maintaining is going well. I stayed up late last night cleaning out my closet- I had to get rid of the bigger clothes and things so I was fed up with trying on two to three items and discarding because they don't fit- so I decided to just get rid of them- starting at 9:00 - laundry and cleaning a closet not a good idea- but it is done and boy is it awesome!
Organized the shoes and I don't have room for anymore- so I willhave to make room - I LOVE shoes!
The weather has cancelled and postponed baseball games which has given this Little League Mom a break! A well needed break!
I took a B12 injection yesterday and I seriously wonder why I did not take this sooner- I guess the older you get the wiser you really are- wise to the fact you don't know a damned thing!
Well- I plan to get laundry ( ugh) caught up this weekend and hopefully will paint my bedroom so I can put out my new duvet cover and new curtains- WE will see!
Next week my parents fly in for AUstin's first communion so I am thrilled about that and the reveal- they still have NO idea- so I will report on the reactions- and I will have pictures to post by this weekend of the new ( skinnier) me - no more double chins!
Love, Laughs and Life
Enjoy!

No Birthday blues here

What a fabulous day yesterday!
Thanks for all the awesome birthday wishes- I loved it!
We fired up the Jack LaLane juicer last night and celebrated my birthday present with yummy fresh juice!
To some it may sound cheesy but I wanted the juicer and I am really glad, I had fresh squeezed orange and mango juice this morning!
Well we had the little league game cancelled due to heavy winds, YEAH, and so we out to dinner, I ate my beef fajitas and loved teh gaucomole- yummmy! Didn't eat the rice on teh platter or the tortillas but I loved the Margarita that came with my dinner special- that was my splurge!
So worth it!
I was up 1.5 pounds so I am stabilizing at 203 and my last LDW was 203 so I was pleased about that! I plan to eat clean today and push the water- I don't feel like I have kept that up!
The best part was- I was able to push the plate away last night and not eat after I felt full. The boys did not mind having my free ice cream dessert either! I feel as I have mentally conquered the overeating ordeal and the need to constantly put food in my mouth. Really gently eating and enjoying the bites you are able to eat makes sense in my mind. After going through complusive eating 12 step program the gentle eating has really helped! I look back at my birthday and know that I indulged but it was a special occasion and it was under control!
It also helps when the food is worth the bites and intake!
Before I was eating to subdue- now I ate and celebrated without the junk! YEAH so another year older and wiser is true!
I am also excied about my new followers- hello to my new blogging buddies!
One more thing of note- Please say a little hoorah for HEATHER- my friend who told me about HCG and she saved my life! The reason you need to say a Hoorah for her over the weekend she is doing a triathlon- so wish her well and hope she improves her times and conquers it as well!
GO HEATHER!!!!

A year older and wiser

Thanks to my fellow gals out there blogging away!
have not weighed since yeterday- got on this a.m. without doing it yet!
Looking forward to hearing from my parents today every time I thank my ffather for having me or raising me he says, Ha Ha Ha (that was amanly chuckle) it was my pleasure! ( Ha Ha Ha) then my Mom syas, "JOe" don't say that!! they crack me up - but I am serious- great parents,great childhood and I love my husband as much as my mom and dad love each other! I think that is important- that support system. speaking of support, my husband got me a Jack LaLane juicer for my birthday- we will test it out after little league gmae tonight! How cute is that I said I wanted a juicer instead of my blender and that is what he bought! I really would have loved diamonds but hey- a juicer is the next best thing! Huh gals!
Gonna go weigh in and shower! Have a lovely day ladies and thanks for all the kudos yeserday!

time to settle in

I have ost a total of 35 pounds which was my goal- I have a irthdya tomorrow but i was reminded to stay around my LDW - which I had forgotten so for good freinds I am thankful- I am sad I have to hold off on breaking that 200 mark till next round- maintaining is really a four letter word to me right now- Maintaining is hard- it is consistency and I am not good at that in the past! I will have to prevail!

My work sucks right now- we seem to be getting more things to do and less pay and less respect. I am thankful I have a job but how much disrespect can people take. I also recieved a text because of little league and to volunteer for children is kinda my lie's work- so it is second nature to volunteer for kids or a kids organization- we get no respect though- these parents are so mad and hateful and ungrateful and filled with entitlement- it turns my stomach!
I am so feeling battered by the public and yet they expect others to raise or entertain or organize for them and their children wihtout being the least bit reflective.
I think our nation is so worried about being politically correct that we are removed from the hard truth of the truth!
I know I am ranting and raving but I have reached my breaking point- or maybe it is almost that TOM- who knows- either way it is disgust!
okay- I am not helping anybody - sorry! peace out!
