I Saw A Psychiatrist Yesterday

Yesterday I met with a Psychiatrist. It was my first time so I was a little nervous. I was very pleased that I didn't even have to sit in the waiting room and wait. They were ready for me when I arrived. That never happens so it was a very pleasant surprise. :)My Psychiatrist was so nice. She asked me what felt like a thousand questions and was very sweet while she listened to all of my

I need sleep

Today was a rough day. I ended up having to go to the doctor. I have a sinus infection, double ear infection and some kind of infection in my throat. Now I am sitting up at midnight typing this post because I can't sleep. My head, ears and throat hurt and I can't breath through my nose. It's not going to be a good night.At least my hubby is taking good care of me. He went to the store and bought

Paisley Peach Designs Review and Giveaway!!!

Check out the beautiful necklace I was given to review! It was made by Gennelle Gardner of Paisley Peach Designs.It is definitely my new favorite necklace. It is perfect for someone like me. I love to have an everyday necklace and for me this is the one. I wear it with just about everything. It looks great with a pair of jeans or a little black dress. That's why I love this piece so much.As a

Depression

I am sure many of you have noticed the past few weeks that my posts are not like me. I am not writing regularly and I am sure you can notice the lack of motivation for losing weight. I'm sure if you have been reading my blog you know that this is just not like me.My lack of motivation lately has not just been towards my weight loss. I have pretty much lacked motivation in every area of my life

Breakfast Smoothies

I seriously could not live without them. I love Breakfast Smoothies!!! I am not a breakfast person. I am more a eat pizza or donuts breakfast person. :) I love sweets for breakfast. I no longer allow myself to do this but if I didn't care about my health or weight I would eat like this every day.I think that is why I love my breakfast smoothies. To me they taste like a milkshake yet they

I Love Fish Tacos

Gorton's and Ortega sent me coupons for their Fish and Taco Shells to try out some fish tacos. I know fish tacos may sound a little odd (they did to me anyway) but I was amazed to find out that I may like them even better then regular beef tacos. They are that good!If you haven't given them a try yet you really should. They were awesome! I mixed a packet of taco seasoning with 1 (16oz)

So Much For My Day Of Relaxation

Last night I wrote about how I was going to spend today relaxing and trying to come of with some ideas to motivate me to lose weight. Unfortunately I woke up at 4am with a migraine. It was horrible. I ended up sleeping in until 10am or should I say trying to sleep. Then I finally got up and took an Imetrex because I couldn't fight it any longer.I know that you aren't supposed to fight migraines

I'm Still Alive!

It's been awhile but I'm still alive. :) I had a busy week and did a lot of catch up. I was able to catch up on grocery shopping, laundry and cooking along with having a nasty stomach bug. I am happy that the stomach bug at least was short lived. It only lasted about 24 hours but it was not fun. Especially since my two year old had it at the same time.It's all over now and I am back to

Having Some Fun!!!

I went to Lil Kids Stuff today to pick up an outfit for my daughters pictures this Sunday and I ended up walking out with nothing for the girls and three things for me. It felt awesome!I don't buy things for myself very often so it felt so good today to come home with something for myself. It's the funniest thing. I was in the store checking out all of their newest items when I spotted a

I Have A Plan!

That's right! I finally have a plan. It's seems like it been a while since I have been able to figure out a way to make it all work. I had a little time to think and pray today while I was cleaning and I came up with a new game plan. Wait until you hear how simple it is. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this one six weeks ago when my daughter started school.So the plan is that I am going

Exercise, Exercise, Where Have You Gone???

I feel so disappointed in myself. I haven't exercised in over two weeks and I feel horrible about it. I just don't know what to do. I am thoroughly exhausted as it is with just taking care of my family. I really want to be the woman that goes to Bootcamp three days a week and feels great because I really do love Bootcamp and I really love the way I feel after I am done. It is such a

I feel gross!

I feel disgusting today. I'm exhausted after running my kids around all day long. My husband now has the start of pneumonia (again!), my youngest has a head cold, my oldest was sent home from school with a pink eye that turns out to be conjunctivitis and the start of a virus. I can't take it anymore!!!I am heading to the store tomorrow to buy Vitamins and maybe some Eccanasia (spl?). I've

My Awesome Lunch!!!

Check out my lunch! It was so wonderful that I had to share it with you., I used a La Tortilla Factory tortilla (1 P each) with a tbsp. of hummus, 1 serving of 98% fat free lunch meat turkey and cucumbers. It hit the spot. The hummus gave it a wonderful flavor and it was so filling. I ate the other tablespoon of hummus with some carrots and cucumbers. It was a wonderful lunch. I may just

And The Number Is .... Yikes....Week 91 Weigh In

This is a first! I gained 8 pounds in the last four weeks. Wow, how does this happen? I thought it was more like 5 pounds but this morning I stepped on the scale and it said 174 pounds. It's scary that I let myself gain 8 pounds back without even caring. I did notice my pants fitting a little tighter then usual. I guess 8 pounds will do that to you.It stinks that I have to lose those 8 pounds

I'm Back!!!

After what seems like months (but probably only weeks) of not having much motivation, I am finally back! I have kind of been in a slump the past few weeks with being overwhelmed with our finances, throwing birthday parties, having sicknesses go around our house, and trying to keep up with the normal things in life such as cooking, cleaning and laundry. I guess I just lost my motivation in all

Green Fried Tomato Sandwich and Cowtails

I'm sitting up at 4:41am eating a green fried tomato sandwich and cowtales. I know, it's a little strange but after not sleeping well the last few nights and then pulling an all nighter tonight I think I am aloud to be a little odd. :)Today is my little girl's birthday. She had a swimming party today with over 40 kids and I'm not even sure how many adults. It was a blast but very tiring all
