half and half...

one week changes alot...i'm up 2.8 (i think), but TOM is here...not really caring...my neck/shoulder/back is giving me alot of aggravation including massive headaches, so i haven't worked out the past two days...also the headache could be stress related...
back before hubbys 39th birthday in December i forced him to go to the Doctor as i married him till death do us part, and i want that to be a ripe old age cuz gosh darnit i really really like him and want him to be around cuz i'm selfish!!! i wanted him to get as many tests as possible (a full meal deal as we said...lol)
now my hubby is not just overweight or obese...he's in the morbidly obese category and has been for some time...his mother has type two diabetes and his brother has had type one diabetes since the age of 12...and if you didn't know my dad died two years ago this June due to complications from Type two diabetes (one of the main reasons i undertook this journey called weightloss as i do not want to rob my children of my presence before i should be)...thus i really really worry about my hubby's health but you can't force someone on a diet unless they want it...
me being on WW has helped with the changing of our food choices tenfold, but he still wasn't losing any weight (i thought maybe his portion sizes and lack of breakfast was to blame)...
anywho...he missed his followup appointments a couple of times and it bothered me a lot...i thought he just wasn't ready to hear whatever the doctor was going to say...finally i made his 3rd appointment and have been beating him over the head for him to remember to go today and he made it!!!
this is the best part now....
he has hypothyroidism...yep~! badabing-badaboom and one pill everyday (probably forever) and he'll be fine...every other test was perfect...in fact the dr. was amazed at his cholestoral level (i think he thought for sure with his weight as high as it is, that he was supposed to be thru the roof or something)...but his level is that of a 15 year old!!! i mean perfectly perfect in every test!!!
i feel like i just inherited a million dollars cuz i get my hubby back healthy!!! and for the rest of our lives...
so the original plan the dr had for him to go on a metabolism booster is scrapped for now...we'll see what happens to his weight once his thyroid starts working the way it was intended...
i so want to hug the doctor!!!!
soon we can say good bye to sleep apnea, joint pain, fatigue, 5 X clothing...omg, i'm just so pumped!!!
needless to say a bit of my headache is gone...
now i have a dr appt next wednesday and i'm gonna ask to see a specialist about a breast reduction (i have wanted one forever as i'm certain most of my back/shoulder/neck things are due to my breast size...i always get pain when i put a sports bra on...)
well....off to take some robax platinum!

WW WI...

finally a result i like...lol...down to 182.8! but more importantly i am down another inch in my waist to 37"!!!oh, and down a half in the hips, and a half in the bust!
still at 179 in my x-weighted challenge tho, for the 3rd week!arrrrgh!
oh well, at least i'm changing my body shape! and my cardio is outta this world, imo...
gotta run, still got a million things to do today and i've done nothing so far!yikes!
i'm the queen of procrastination!!!

musings for the day...

i'm almost overloaded with silly lil musings today...first off i'm still Taebo-ing everyday and it really really hit me last nite just how much i miss Muay Thai Kickboxing...enough that i went on a search for the closest club (alas two hours away is just too far away to travel twice a week for a two hour class)...bah, but last nite my nostalgia got the best of me and i dug my hand wraps out and did wrap my hands for my workout...i skipped yesterday afternoon cuz i knew hubby wasn't going to be home at nite and i didn't want to snack away my hard work. i also found some vids on youtube so i could practice my technique...but it's been 8 years since i did it! i forgot the ankle pain with the jumping around...still too heavy for that!
also, this whole clean eating thing has really got me thinking...i know i feel way better when i get my daily fruit and veggies in instead of all that processed crap that it out there but wow, it's expensive and i have have have to plan out menu's so that i use the majority of the veggies before they go bad (hubby commonly refers to the crisper as the rotter...lol)
tonight i'm making an asian peanut beef and noodle dish for supper (hope the kids like it...it's my first time trying it)...
also, i miss having close girlfriends...since moving here i have had like one friend that i felt close to because we had our first babies together (we were in prenatal together, then she was my neighbour in the hospital and i heard her going thru labour and delivery as i was in the nursery with my lil girl), but she moved away a year ago and i miss her so much...also, most of my close close girlfriends live too far away or are single, no kids so not a heck of a lot in common anymore...
and this town is sooooooo clique-y, it sucks at times...like hubby came home last nite and said "i'm buying you a golf cart and a caddy, so you stay away from those hockey ladies"...meaning that a bunch of the town "yummy mommies/cougars" started a woman's hockey team (and i can't skate so i didn't join) but they are more of the town gossip than a professional team (as in they practice or play a game then spend the rest of the nite drinking, smoking pot, partying with people much younger than them, and some have even had pictures of themselves or body parts circulated throughout town...in fact my hubby just saw one of their asses last nite on some guy's camera)....yeah, not my scene...
but joining volleyball seems to be a good choice...and hopefully when fastball starts up, those that are on the hockey team have partied themselves out...otherwise i may opt out of that...
but i still miss having someone to confide in...thank goodness i have blogging...lol...
also, i can't wait to start training for my 5k on may 29th! i'm getting a registration form sent to me to take part in the "Perogy Run" in another small town not quite 2 hours away!!!it's part of my fitness goal for the X-weighted challenge...i want spring here already so i can start walk/jogging, then walk/running, then jog/running then run/running! lol...yeah the couch to 5 k program! i've worked it out that i will have to start training come March 20th (the first day of spring) so i'm ready for the actual race day! if it's not nice enough outside by then, then i need to ask a friend of mine to come over so i can use her treadmill...lol...and her babysitting service...lol
well, that's all of my musings for today...i think!

whoops...

so i came home from my meeting and told my hubby i lost 1.2 lbs but just checked my stats and it was only .2...whoops...where i grabbed that extra lb from is beyond me, i think i just wanted it to say 1.2... but i measured myself today and i'm down an inch everywhere again!yay...43-38-43...kickin the hourglass still!
so i didn't track after friday last week and i need need need to change that because i'm working out more therefore way more hungry and i know i won't see results if i eat my activity points...i know this...i have to follow this now...and save up my wp's for sunday as we are going out for supper that nite!!!yay valentines, boo extra cals!
also, i'm in a bidding war on ebay for a set of 9 billy blanks dvd's...he's my new fitness icon! i'm winning tho! bootcamp shall be mine!!!lol

working it!

feeling oh so great this week...working out lots and lots...i've managed to do the Taebo workout every day this week (except today, but today isn't over...lol)
i don't really care what the scale reads cuz i can feel my body changing and i love that feeling!
i'm going to try to post new belly pics too...just cuz...there may not be a difference but it's good to have them to compare to, right?lol
crazy great weekend and tomorrow my Colts are going to win the Superbowl, YAY!!

the catch up game...

wow, have i missed a few things the past week or so..another quick update, i made it to my WW meeting last nite and was soooo happy to see a .4 loss cuz i was sure i would have STS or gained after the events of the past week or so...making and testing cakes/cupcakes/icing/dips/etc takes a toll and i for sure it was going to show up on the scale (plus i think i only got in two or three workouts)...

speaking of the scale...i am also playing catch up in reading some of my fellow bloggies posts out there and i just read Deb Shrinks' one on "how often do you weigh yourself", so i think that's what i'm going to address in this post...

i do it more than the once a week because i am part of the X-weighted challenge that i'm part of...WI for that is Monday morning for me, and let me tell ya, i like that number so much more!lol...this past WI was 179, whereas WW was 184.8...does the two full days in between make that much of a difference? i guess time will tell...
it's amazing what those numbers do to you...mentally, emotionally...i really am a slave to the scale...i hate admitting that but i know that it's something i have to work on now...i would really like to say i'm so much more than those numbers, but believing it or putting it into practice takes something that i don't think i have just yet...at least i can start working on that tho...

at least i'm back to working out and tracking...i've switched from Shredding (it really was aggravating my shoulder too much), to Taebo and wow! i'm working out for 45 mins a day now and getting a really really great sweat on and love it...i'm earning 5 AP's a workout...just have to remember not to eat them (otherwise i don't lose as much)...hopefully i can keep it up till it's nice enough out to start the couch to 5k program again (my fitness goal with the x-weighted challenge is to run a 5 k)
also, i realize that i really do miss Muay Thai Kickboxing...oh well...

laters...

so many blogs...so lil time...lol

so i blog here, i blog there, i'm a blogging sl*t...lol...

quick update...couldn't get in tonite for my WW meeting so i don't know what my Official weight is this week (i got on my home scale, the same one i use for my x-weighted WI's on monday morning), so unofficially it read 183 (while on monday morning it said 180...either or i'm down...just don't know how much...

busy planning my DD's 3rd birthday party (her first party-party with friends and stuff) and it's going soooo great (9 kids coming so far)...we rented the senior gathering place (it has a kitchen and ample room), in the process of making a paper mache Dora pinata, getting a Dora cake pan from a neighbour tomorrow (have the cake decorating stuff from another neighbour and practicing on cupcakes), need need need to get to town tomorrow or thursday to get more stuff!!! not to mention a birthday outfit for my DD!!!


so, i got my shoulder fixed on saturday morning, but didn't work out till today...and i started off ready to Shred it, but gave up after the first circuit cuz i could already feel the stress in my shoulder/back...but i wanted to burn calories so i popped in my Billy Blanks Taebo Get AMPED jumpstart cardio DVD and started by watching the tutorial of the basic moves...
my last attempt at doing this video lasted two minutes...i was lost, it was too hard and i wasn't ready!
this time i made it 30 mins!!!its a 50 min video...so i have a minigoal-goal...get thru the whole video!!!lol
now i feel a lil sore but a good sore!
time to hit the hay now tho...without my hubby (he's off to the big lights for a meeting tomorrow)...ah, at least i get the whole bed to myself!!!:)
