Finally yesterday we were able to get groceries! Hooray!! We decided to get a Costco pizza while there. Not long after, I wasn't feeling to good. We went to Costco, Trader Joes, Winco, and Davey went to Walmart! Wow.. busy day. I researched and found out Walmart's Great Value milk is hormone free. So I won't settle for Winco Milk any more for our WIC checks.
Anyways.. short and sweet blog. I was nauseated all night long, thought I was going to throw up, and feeling horrible. I really think it was the pizza. What is going on?? Every time I eat something that's not healthy, I get sick now!!??
Feeling a little better today. Scale said 197.6 so down .2 from the other day so yay!
I am leaving for Morgan Hill today by myself ;( to do a wedding. It's my first fully paid, by myself, 8 hour wedding! She booked me about a year ago. I am so excited.. very nervous.. and sad to leave my 3 guys. Molly [our dog] is due today so Davey can't come with. Pray for me if you get a chance.. I am scared of falling asleep while driving tomorrow night. Leaving Morgan Hill after the wedding at 8:30 pm and driving 5 hours home.

ONEder Woman in the Blue Dress
I did it!! 199.4!! Down .6 pounds from last week.. Yay! I don't really pay that much attention to the .4 or .2... I drive my self crazy if I do. So I just say -1 :] I can't believe it.. I am sooo happy!! I feel so much smaller :)
I haven't been under 200 since I was in my first trimester with Shane.. so almost 3 years! I am so thankful to God for helping me! I already look forward to the 180's.
I don't ever want to see 200 again.. and that might be tricky cause I am so close to it.
I didn't even want to weigh in today because it's that time again and I feel fat and bloated. I was surprised to see a loss. I am so proud of myself for eating right or trying to because we have hardly any groceries left, so it's been a challenge to get creative and make meals and stick to my points. Not to mention the outrageous sweet tooth I get this time of month. *Which I couldn't fulfill because we have no sweets... so that worked out good! Can't wait till Friday when we can get groceries.. fun stuff.
This blue dress has been hanging in my closet for a couple years. It's a size Large! Even when I bought it, it was a little too tight, but I loved it. The other day I was trying to find something to wear to church and I decided to try it on, even though I hated the picture of it in my head being too tight on me. But it wasn't!! It fit perfect!! Maybe even a smidge too big.. just a smidge. I've been getting more compliments on people noticing my weight loss. I feel like the inches are moving faster than the scale.. I must be gaining muscle.
I ran with Davey and the boys on Saturday evening. Davey was hard to keep up with.. and he doesn't go easy on me. I would have to sprint to him to catch up during our walk time. We did 1.72 miles in about 27 minuets. A little better than my last run. Today I plan to go to the gym to run on the treadmill then do TKB or swim.. I'm not sure yet. I need to ride my bike! It's been over a week and I have that 25 mile Bike the Coast coming up in a month! Yes I registered. =] That's all I am paying for, for now. I swear! Yikes. But it was cheap and I got %20 off coupon code, and it seems like a lot of fun. There is a Taste the Coast we get free tickets too as well. I love the beach.. did I already mention that? ;)
I really can't wait till the 5K on 11-27. I hope that I won't just be able to run the whole 5K, but that it won't be like torture the whole time. I want to feel strong and able.
And more progress reports.. my legs are strong and in such better shape. My tummy is smaller and flatter and my waist is well defined now.. it doesn't just blend into my hips anymore. I am wearing shorts around the house when it's warm.. something I would never do just 6 months ago. I actually want to do physically activity for family time!
I convinced Davey to run the other night.. he has to get ready for his WAR 5K! He can run the whole thing probably, but he has to climb walls, climb muddy hills with ropes, go under obstacles.. ect. He's gonna have so much fun! I would love to do it with him, but I know he would be so much faster than me and he would have to heave me over the walls, which would take all his strength away :/ so better leave this one to him!
I have a wedding in Morgan Hill on Sunday, and it's just me going on the trip. Davey has to stay home cause our dog is due on Saturday. They boys are staying with him because the wedding is 8-10 hours long and that's a long time for someone to watch the boys! So I am not sure if I will drive up Sunday morning and leave Sunday night after the wedding (worried about falling asleep while driving home) or go Saturday and stay with my Mom for the night. Usually on a road trip by myself I would binge in the car to entertain myself. Not this time! I don't want an upset tummy, so I'll bring healthy snacks =)
Thanks and glory to God for all He has helped me do.

No Sweets for One Month!
I have to start by saying, God is so good and faithful! Since we were in Morgan Hill for my Mom's wedding, we decided to throw Cody a one year birthday party since we would be there on his birthday (can't believe he is one!). We knew we had no money for the party, so we asked everyone to bring something. Everyone was more than generous! We had almost everything provided by family! We only had to buy a few things at the dollar store. I wanted to bake him a cake and decorate it myself like I always do, but with the wedding on Saturday and church Sunday I new I would not have time. Buying a birthday cake big enough to feed 25 people is expensive, and I didn't want to ask someone to buy it.
He also provided $750 for Davey's school bill. Dr. R put $123.00 on it as well (so thankful), so now he can take his finals. God also provided $1,000 for our rent!! This was through people and a side job! We are so thankful!! We are praying that He will provide another $1,000 by Wednesday at 7am so Davey can walk!! I know He will.
I prayed, and God answered! The lady that made my Mom's wedding cake did it as a gift, and she made an extra chocolate HUGE cake. I mentioned to my Grandma I could use it since it was not even touched, she asked my Mom and she was more than happy to let us have it! So glad He cares about little things like cakes, bikes (he provided one for my tri), and party's.
The wedding was really good. Old Western Victorian theme wedding. Different, but fun to dress up. My amazing Mother made all the outfits. She is awesome.
I start a challenge today: No sweets for ONE MONTH! That means no: chocolate, sugar, muffins, pasties, cookies, cakes, donuts, ANYTHING I eat for sweets. Sometimes I put sugar on my toast or strawberries for my sweet tooth, none of that!
The point of this is to teach myself self control and to become independent on sweets. This is "Phase 2" of Chantel Hobbs book, "Never Say Diet". Phase one is work out for 30 mins 5 days a week consistently. I am skipping that since I do more than 30 mins, but I will determine to work out five days a week. I am not sure if I am going to do all her phases, but she does have some good ideas.
Phase 2 you are suppose to cut out your weakness foods, chips, sweets, breads, if having seconds and thirds is your downfall than cut that out. You do that while not changing anything else about your diet. So, we will see how it goes! Right now I am so sick of sweets.. literally sick! I ate way to many cookies and cakes while in Morgan Hill. :/
I love my weight-loss plan (it is not a diet). I count my calories and work out: burning more than taking in is the key! But sometimes I feel like, "Even though this sweet is in my calories, should I be eating it? Everyday?!!" So I am going one month with out them. Then after that letting myself maybe 2-3 times a month have a sweet. I need some definite guidelines.
I was telling Davey, I never really feel deprived when I count my calories because I can eat anything, just in moderation. That is good! But when I budget myself 1 small donut on Sunday morning at church, I normally end up eating 2 because I "grab one for Davey" and he doesn't want it. (What a weirdo). :) Or if I count 4 small gingersnaps for dessert, I end up eating 6. So please Lord help me this month!! It will be VERY HARD.
This morning I already had 2 cookies and a bite of left over cake (bad mistake for bringing any home). So the challenge started at 11 am this morning.
I am excited to take pictures for a couple girls who are graduating, one high school, one college. We are going up to the Poppy Reserve today. I got to go get ready!
