So I am getting pretty bad at keeping up with this but not much has been going on. I had a baby shower on Sat. to go to. My friend Heidi is having a little girl. It is my first of 3 in the next week. We went to my cousin Briana's birthday party today, and Brandon had the blue and gold for cub scouts but we did not go. I am sick of all of the drama that some of these people bring and I think that Brandon can sense it. I have been trying to not let it bother me and not care that they are talking about me but I think that I am going to have to now say something because it it effecting Brandon. He did not want to go today because I got a phone call from one of the parents and he saw that it made me upset and decided that because of it he did not want to be around them. I don't know what to do because I don't want to look like a bitch or a baby, or to start my trouble but this is for the boys not the adults and some of them have not figured this out yet.

So it has been a couple of days, but not much has been going on. On Sunday we had people over to watch the superbowl. Wow that was the most dull superbowl that I have ever seen. It sucked so bad, and then to make it worse the Pats lost. Then on Monday I feel on the ice and hurt myself. I have a sprained wrist and a contussion on my hand. And today I went up to cub scout council to get everything that all of the leaders need for the blue and gold on Sunday. And that is about all the I have done so far this week, kind of dull I know.

So not much going on today, my mom will be picking up the kids in about 3 hours. After that Ben and I might go out and do something. We havenot been able to do much the last 3 months because of no money, but we just got our income taxes back so we might go out shopping or something. Well if anything exciting happen's I might write more later.

Weigh in day

So yesterday was weigh in day and I did not do as good as I had hoped. But I did loss another 1 lb. I guess anything is good and I should not complain, but I do not know what I am doing wrong. I have been writing everything down and not using all of my points. I started exercing. I am going to keep it up and see if maybe I can have a good week at some point. Well I went to the gym yesterday, I have not been in a long time and it was fun. Well as fun as exercing can get. I think that I am going to make myself go at least 3 times a week, maybe more. Well got to get Chloe off to school.

So I am feeling better, but I still did not work out at all today. I did set my alarm to get up at 6 in the morning though. I did not do much today, just sat around the house most of the day. Brandon had cub scouts today and I took him to that, but I am not a leader or anything so I just sit and talk to the other moms. Liz and I do our weigh in tommorow and I hope that we both do good. I would like to see another 3 lbs. or so, but will just have to see. I also have a doctors appointment in the morning, fun fun. Well that's about all I have in me for tonight. I think that I am going to have early bed again tonight. I think now that I am finally able to sleep my body is trying to catch up on all of those months that I could not get any sleep at night.

Only 2 days

So my getting up at 6 to work out only lasted for 2 days. But not because I did not want to do it, well I never want to but I can make myself. The alarm went off this morning at 6 and when I got out of bed I felt so sick. I have a bad headache, my throat is swollen, my sines are killing me, well you get the picture. I don't even have enough energy to take a shower before I bring Chloe to school. So I am just going to chill out in the morning and hope that I feel better. Then maybe I will work out a little later and get myself going before I pick her up in the afternoon. Well I will write some more later and tell you if I managed to drag myself into working out.

So not much to write but I said that I would write tonight. I went into the school and helped in one of the classes today. Liz and I also had girl scout. The girl that was so rude was sugar sweet today. Oh and also someone from the council came to watch our meeting today. She said that it was because she does not know the leaders in the area and wants to get to know us, but I find it funny that she came right after this girl was complaining about us. But oh well the meeting went great and nothing to complain about. Well it is 10 and I am getting ready to go to bed.

So once again, I went to bed without writing. Maybe I should just start doing one every morning. So yesterday I had 7 kids at my house all day, they all spent the night. We had my 3, 2 of Liz's and Becky's 2. For having that many of them they were so good. Making the pancakes was fun, I made 28 of them and all but 1 got ate. I also had a body shop foot party last night, it was so much fun and I got $100 worth of stuff for free. Free how can you beat that. Well today I got up an hour before the kids and did a workout video that was about 40 min. long. This is the new thing that I am going to try everyday, 6 days a week I will be getting up early to do it. Lets see how long this last, I have a hard enough time dragging myself out of bed at 7 and now to start getting up at 6. Well need to get Chloe to school, so I will try to write more tonight.

Getting ready to go to bed but thought since I did not write yesterday that I should today. Not much went on, Ben worked all day so it was just me and the kids at home. We cleaned a little but that was about it. Liz and the kids came over for supper, and Becky and her kids were here. Oh yea and some might think that I am crazy but right now I have all 7 of our children sleeping upstairs. They have been very good, and are looking forward to breakfast. I told them if they went to bed good than I would make pancakes for breakfast. And they did, a little bit of talking but with 5 girls in one room it is a little bit expected. So we will see how good of willpower I have in the morning because I do not want to waste my points of the pancakes, I think that I will just have some oatmeal. Well getting late so I think that I will go to bed like I said.

weigh in day!

So its Thursday and that means that Liz and I go to weight watchers. I lost 3.8 lbs. today, yea for me. So with my gain last week that still puts me at -3.6. So they set small goals for you and what they set for me was 22 lbs. so that mean that I only have 18.4 to go. I had said that I wanted to reach that goal in 12 weeks and I think that I can do it. So by April 3rd I will be a total of 22 lbs. lighter, boy does that sound good. And once I reach that I will make another small goal for myself put for right now that is the number that I am going to focus on.

not much going on

So another day of not doing much. I did all of the dishes and some laundry. Liz came over and spent the afternoon, but we just sat on the couch watching TV and talking. Other then that the only thing that happened was that I got yelled at by one of the girl scout mom's. And its not so much that she is mad at me, but she is the type of person to go around and tell everyone bad stuff about me. She already called the council and told them that I was a bad leader. So tomorrow is weight watchers, I am hoping that I do well. I have done good all week, today is the first day that I needed to use any of my extra points at all. And that was because we made home made ice cream and I just had to have some. We that's about all for tonight, I think I am going to take a bath and go to bed early tonight.

feeling good

So not much going on today, but I have been busy all day. I cleaned part of my living room, and am still going to work on it some more tonight. I also went through my pictures and put them in a nice box that I had bought myself. Doing good with the weight watchers, I have not had a day yet that I have had to use my extra points. So hopefully on Thursday I will have a good weigh in.

10 lbs.

So as I said earlier I had to go to the doctors today. They weight me and since last time that I went which was towards the end of December, I have lost 10 lbs. So even though I did not do good my first week of weight watchers, I must have lost even before I started to do it. This makes me think that I can really do it. She also told me that she will send me to a special doctor to help me with my headaches. A lot of people don't even know that I get them, I try not to complain about them to much. Some days they are not that bad and sometimes they get so bad that I get sick. And on that note, even though it is only a little after 8 I am going to be going to bed because I have one right now and it is starting to turn into a bad one.

No new post last night, we were up late watching football. We wanted to see who was going all the way, go pat! Pats and giants, the 2 teams that my husband wanted, the Superbowl should be good this year. Not much else went on yesterday. Today I have a doctors appointment, so much fun. That's about it, I will try to write again later tonight.

nothing to do

So it is a Saturday night and my mother has the kids, but we have no money so we can't go do anything. Did not do much all day and that was okay. We went to Summer's birthday party, and then came home. We are waiting to see if Liz and Pat call, we might go over and visit for a little while. If not then I am going to bed early tonight. It will catch up on my sleep and help me not snack out of board um. Right now I still have 7 points left in the day, and it will help me at the end of the week if I am under my points every day.

So yesterday I forgot to post a blog. I was so tired from not sleeping the night before that it just slipped my mind. So yesterday I went to weigh watchers and did not do so good. I gained .2 lbs. I talked to the lady though and she told me some reasons why that might be, so I am not going to be hard on myself or give up. I am going to still stick to it because I think that I will do better next week. I also had Jason yesterday, he is my friend Liz's 4 month old son. He is so cute and I love him and his brother and sister so much. And I like having him for a day at a time, but I am glad that my baby is 3. At one point I had told my husband that I wanted 1 more, but after a day of diapers I am glad that we decided no more right now. Now to today, I again as with most days did not much. I had my friend Becky and her daughters over for supper. Her kids and my kids get along so well and I just found out that they will be moving in a few months. I have not told the kids yet because I do not know how they will take it. We getting ready to go to bed now.

So again today not much going on, I am still sticking to my diet which is good of course. Tomorrow is the first weigh in, I am hoping that I have lost at least a little bit. It was my friends birthday today and I went shopping for her. I could have gone crazy doing it but we do not have a lot of money this week. I don't know what it is but I love to buy gifts for people, especially when they are the type of person that does not expect it but appreciates what you are doing for them. I have no idea why I am like this but that's okay because I can make other people happy. Maybe it come from me being used to getting everything that I wanted when I was a child, but at the same time my mother taught my brother and me that not everyone was like that and she would have us do for other people when we could. Well that is about it for today, I will write again tomorrow and let everyone know how I did on my weigh in.

Just another day

So not much going on today. I am so tired, last night my husband was not sleeping well so that means that I do not sleep at all. I went to bed around 4 when he got up to go to work. And then I had to be up at 7 with the kids. I got my car back today, it has been at the shop for about a week. But thank you Rob for telling me to get the warranty when I bought the car. They did almost $3,000 worth of work and I only had to pay $306. Sounds like a good deal to me. Well that is about it, it is 11 pm and I am going to go try to go to bed now.

New blog

Okay so I am starting a new blog. I had another one going on a different site, but I did not like it and I lost my computer for a couple of days so I decided to start all over. So first of all for those that don't know alot about me, my name is Kim and I am 28 years old. I am married to Ben and have been now for almost 4 years. We have 3 great children together, Brandon, Chloe and Sadie. Brandon is 9 and in the 4th grade. He is in cub scouts and loves soccer. Chloe is 6 and in 1st grade. She also plays soccer, but more because her brother and her friends do, she will tell you that she wants to be a cheerleader when she gets older. She also does girl scouts. And then I have Sadie, she is 3 and the baby. She sure knows it and very much takes advantage of it. Well right now I am just a stay at home mom and I love my job. I am a girl scout leader with my friend Liz and I am active in my son's cub scouts, I have been I leader in the past but I stepped down just I few weeks ago. I help out at school when ever I get a chance as well. Now to the reason that I am doing this blog. I am one of those people that is always putting everyone before myself and always have people walking all over me. So this year I am putting myself first for once. Not in a selfish way, but taking care of myself better. I stopped doing all that I was and I am trying to learn to say no to people if I have to much going on or don't feel good. And the last thing that I am doing is trying to get healthy, both physical and mental. The physical is that I am trying to lose weight. Liz and I have joined weight watcher's together. I think the idea of doing it together is going to work, we are around each other alot and will help each other out. We only just started, today is the 4th day. We are going to go ever Thursday and weigh in and go to the meetings to get ideas. I had set a goal of losing 50 lbs. this year and I really think that I can do it. And the mental part is just trying to not get as stressed out all of the time. And doing this is part of that, I have a hard time talking about my feelings alot of the time. So my goal is the write in this every day. Most days will not be this long and a lot of the time it will just be a few sentence, but that is okay. Well I guess that this is enough for tonight, I think that I am going to try to go to bed soon.
