4 more weeks and hopefully I will be back to filling you all in on my life. I just know you are sitting at the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going on.
Well, weight is down to 215 a new low. I need to update my fitness pall. I am hoping that being back at the dr continues to help.
Set back this week, my daughter was kicked out of child watch for biting, it is a long story she has bitten someone 3 times in the last 5 months which I do not view as an issue, but whatever. I went back to the gym to talk to the director and they are allowing her to come, just only between the hours of 11-3 which completely screws with my schedule but I still made it to the gym twice this week after being kicked out on Tuesday lol. It is dead in there, but still super inconvenient.
I also read up some articles are cardio and have discovered that I may be doing too much! Crazy I know! I talked to a trainer and discovered it could be true. SO a new change of plan. No more then 45 min of cardio at the gym a day so my plan is 45 cardio 1hr of weight training. Basically I guess you can disrupt your own metabolism when you are doing too much long lasting cardio. She did say it was ok if I came back later in the day and did it again. Of course when training for a half marathon there are longer runs, but if you fallow a schedule you usually don't run more then 3 days a week, and you only have a long run every few weeks. I am still on the fence about doing the half in Jan since I don't have a buddy and I am kind of scared to go it alone.
Ok well this week I worked out 480 this week for the FMFFC.
Night y'all! Check in again new week.

A week in a super fast review!
Biology is still Kicking my butty. 3 weeks down 5 to go I CAN NOT WAIT!
Kids are doing great. No more babies on the way (couldn't remember if I posted that) maybe later but not today, insert HUGE sigh of relief.
Quit Weight Watchers, It was not working for me. It allows you to eat too many carbs and that is just not gonna work for me.
Back to 218. Really hoping to hit the 210 mark before we head home for Thanksgiving, but I'm thinking that would be a long shot since it is in like 15 days. LOL so anything lower then 218 would make me happy =)
Running is going well. I am icing down for several hours and that seems to be helping ward off the shin splints. I am only running twice a week which I sooo know needs to be picked up and soon! I still have not registered for the half and I am considering not doing it as no one wants to do it with me and I am not sure how I feel going it allone. But we shall see. But I am spinning a couple days a week and hitting up the elptical still. Weight training has been a constant at the gym but only around for a few weeks at this point and although I can already feel the differences no super noticable changes yet.
I can get my size 14 jeans on and have even worn them in public. Grandted I am wearing spanx and stratigic shirts becasue the muffin is def there! But I will take it. I am in my 16's solid which is great becasue I really didn't want to buy any new jeans.
I am done christmas shopping. Finished up last night and only spent half of our budget this year which is great news. Also means I can travel and take everyones gifts with us so we don't have to ship anything! YAYAY!!!!
Random:But pretty bummed SAturday when my team didn't win, but it was one hell of a game and I am really hoping for a Bama/LSU rematch in the National Title game.
~Till later and Roll Tide!

MIA
Sorry guys, I have been MIA. My mom was in town, lots going on here at the house and on top of it all my new class started and WOW is pretty much all I can say. The 1st day in I remembered why I didn't take Biology when I went to college to begin with, the fact that I have to go back and take it now for grad school...=/ I am just praying to get through it. I think this will be one class I will not be upset about not getting an A! I need to pass and that is pretty much all I care about =)
Ok so side not. TOM came in town so yay not pregnant. I did tell my husband what was going on and that went over way better then I thought it would. I will never know why sometimes I doubt him, I guess it is just something girls do. Although i still hope one day to grow our family, I am happy that it isn't today.
I think I got a whopping 120 minutes at the gym this week. But this week it is on!
Ok I will try to be better about posting, I don't even know where I am weight whiz, I know gasp!
Ok till later =)

Quick Update Restart days 3-6
Down to 219, whew. 3 more to go to get back to the 216 mark where I was finally showing some progress.
Killed it at the gym this week, but am pretty sure I may not win the FMFF challenge as some of these peeps are really stepping up their game! But that is ok I like a good challenge and other then Alabama winning every football game this season and going 13-0 again I am cool with it =) maybe I will be even more motivated next week when I see what all everyone did this week! I like this challenge because it keeps me motivated to get to the gym. I like putting up a high number even if it isn't the highest. My husband doesn't get the whole "blogging" thing. But I told him it is just easier for me to share my weight issues with others who know what it is like, then it is for me to talk to my sisters (both thin workout freaks never been overweight a day in their lives) or my friend Amy who is just got a natural ability. She is really understand and supportive and knows how much I work, but doesn't know what it s like.
Still waiting on TOM should be soon...I think I located my strings which made me breath a huge sigh of relief. My hubby and I talked about it and as soon as I have a negative pregnancy test my Dr has agreed to put me back on the b12 injections. Yay! They worked wonders for me a couple years ago and I kept the weight I had lost off till I got pregnant again.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Roll Tide Roll!!!!

A little follow up/ Then Restart Day 1
Ok so I just wanted to post a quick follow up to yesterday's post. I did send an email to my professor when I submitted the assignment. He emailed me back and forth a few times and accepted it =) so yay! I got a B in the class. As far as the preggo things go...got to wait another week on that. Still no signs of the strings, but I am starting to wonder if I am just not over reacting to them missing and thinking I may be, because with my previous pregnancies I knew I was pregnant. SO I will just have too wait that one out. Going to wait and see if TOM arrives and once that happens if there is still no signs of the strings I will be making an apt with the OB to find out what the heck is up. I also wanted to comment on the things I said about my sister. She is wonderful and would be happy if I was pregnant. Her 'lose 80 lbs and grow out your hair' was not said in a mean way. You would have to know the 4 of us (me my 2 sisters and my mom). She knew that I wasn't super thrilled with the way I looked when I was pregnant at my other sisters wedding and she also knows me and knows how I am when I am happy. She knew I would not enjoy myself if I wasn't thinner.
Ok so I am starting over
Day 1 weight 220
workout went great. hit up the gym, completed day one of Jillian Michales 30 Day shred and walked with the kids. Eating was ok but will be better tomorrow!

I need a good cry! Warning this could be a TMI but I have gotta get it out somewhere!!!
I am stressed. Stress isn't even the word. I am lost in the stress.
My sons surgery went well. He was back to his same old self about 3 hours home from the hospital.
Finals are done. Although I start my last pre req on Monday and it is Biology =p but at least it is just one class.
Speaking of finals, they are part of the insane stress. I got an A in my speech class, but about an hour ago realized my paper for history was due at 11 est and I thought it was due at 11 ctl. UGH! I don't understand why the school doesn't have a standardized time that ALL CLASSES have to end and have materials by! It is so confusing! So needless to say I will probably get a 0 on it =/ which sucks. I Will get a C in the class and although that is all I need it still ticks me off. I only needed a 50 on the paper to get a B, which means I could have probably just submitted what I had finished at 11 and gotten a a B. Oh well, i guess we will see what happens but I am just so angry. I find it VERY upsetting that I can have an A on the midterm and high B on the final and get a C in the class. I guess I learned my lesson. I NEVER wait till the last day to do work! I should have finished it like I was suppose to and told myself I would yesterday.
To add to that. I think I am pregnant. And while the average person would be excited about this, and while I know if I really am I will be once I figure things out I am pretty stressed about it. I have an IUD, but can not find the strings...feeling funny. I know I want another child, but my husband is not on board. If I were pregnant I would due at the end of June, my sister gets married 10 hrs away on June 16th, when she got engaged I was instructed to loose 80lbs and grow out my hair so news that I would be due in 14 days and may be banned from travel will not go over well. I will say I will risk having a baby in my home city vs missing my sisters wedding..Just saying. Hopefully I am overreacting and I am not pregnant... I want another baby just not right now=/ not to mention I know it would stress my husband out right now. We are set to get out of the service next November. We are nervous about it as it is with the economy and world the way it is. Add a 3rd child to the list and that may be the push he needs to stay in for another 10 and I really do not want him to make that decision under pressure. Unless you have been married to the military, or in the military you really can not understand what it means. The amount of your own life you miss and the lives of your loved ones. If he decided to stay I would be sad because we would be headed farther away from family again, I would support him 100% but I want it to be something he decides to do, not something he does because of fear, or that may cause him to resent me one day. And although i don't think he would ever say he resents me, I would always fear it in my head.
Ugh so forget the fact that i am back to 222 (although that was just about 30 min ago I was at 219 this am). My brain is running in overload, stress is ramped.
So, I have decided OH WELL! I guess I got a C, not the worst thing ever. It is amazing how different it feels though when you are an adult and not a kid. I think I just take it more personal now I guess because besides chicken nuggets, couponinng, my chats with my friends at the gym, trying to balance a check book, cook, clean, fight the laundry war, it is the only real Brain challenge I have all week. but all I needed was a C so I have learned my lesson, no more waiting till Sunday night! I mean what a idiotic thing to do =/.
The pregnancy thing, well if I am I will just have to deal with it. But I will keep my fingers crossed that I am again one day, but hopefully just not today.
So new focus. I obviously can not control life. I think it is pretty apparent more and more each day. But what i can do is control what I eat!
Tomorrow is Monday and it is the 17th. So Here we go.
Weigh Ins will now be on Thursdays.
Tomorrow starts my 30 day Shred 2 work out a day 5 days a week goal.
Stick to my points for REAL! I am paying for the plan time to do the plan.
I feel pretty confident that I will be back to 218 in a day or so and most of i t is just eating poorly this weekend, but I want to be at least 210 by the time I go home for Thanksgiving and there isn't a reason i can't do that if I just don't get focused!!!
