Well, I am gaining weight and loving it! On December 6th I found out that I was 8 weeks pregnant! I am so very happy! We tried for 17 months and the doctor said that there was not much of a chance that I would get pregnant. I focused on getting healthier and I lost 17 pounds and now I am almost 12 weeks pregnant and I have gained 5 pounds back. I have never been happier to gain weight!

Wishing you all the best in 2009!~

One of my inspirations to lose weight is to be around for my 2 year old daughter and to have another child. Well my daughter gave me such a huge laugh that I had to share it.

She walked into the washroom and saw Daddy standing up to pee a few weeks ago, we had a talk with her about privacy and knocking before she goes into the washroom if the door is closed, we didn’t really think much about it afterwards. Suddenly today she went into the washroom, pulled down her pants and stood in front of her potty and peed all over herself and the floor, she turns and looks at me and said “I Just like daddy!”.

just had to share…

I participated in the Run for the Cure for the second time this year and it was an amazing experience. It was great to raise money and do something for such an amazing cause. I am also pretty proud that I did the 5km in about half the time I did last time. 

My weight loss is a struggle right now, I go up and down the same 2 pounds and nothing seems to be helping. I need help to get on a better path!

Have a great week everyone and thanks for the support!

Yesterday I went to a wedding and I wore a dress, pantyhose and high heels and I felt pretty good about myself! I have lost a bit of weight and I have toned up for sure with all of the exercise. I tend to feel really bad about myself when I am dressed up and at an event, but I looked nice and I felt good. What a nice change.

On another note I had to laugh, I went and bought the same size of pantyhose that I have always bought and they slid down the whole night which was kind of annoying but made me pretty happy!

Have a great week!!!!

I have PCOS and my doctor informed me that I would never have children, 2 years ago I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. I do not like being told that I can not do something! Now we are wanting another child and I went back to the same doctor. This time she told me that the chances are slim to none to have another. Her suggestion is to lose 10% of my body weight and come back and we can look at options…she followed that up with how hard it would be for me to lose the weight and I should be happy with the child that I have. I do not like beign told that I can not do something!

I have been working so hard and today I weighed in and I have lost 11 lbs, I have 16 lbs to go until I can go back there and tell her that the fact that she doubted me again pushed me to take charge of my weight!

Just needed to vent!

What is wrong with me? I do so good for a few days then all at once I eat like crazy and undo all of the hard work from the whole week! We had pizza, pop and cake at work today for lunch and every ounce of willpower I had was gone. I was feeling really good about myself all morning, I have lost 9 lbs and have been exercising everyday at least 30 min. Now I am sitting here feeling like a big bloated pig, I am kind of disgusted with myself right now! I didn’t even enjoy anything I ate.

Okay…enough of a Pity Party. I hope that you are all doing great and Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Last night a friend and I went to a baseball game and when we were climbing up the stairs to go for a bathroom break I got to the top of the stairs and realized that I was not out of breath and I didn’t notice the climb at all. Normally I would be out of breath and very self consious half way up. I  know that this is such a small event but to me it just felt really good, it made me feel that all of my hard work is starting to pay off.

Wow, what a weekend! I was super busy and surrounded by food all weekend. I was surprised to find that I was not as tempted by cake and sweets as I thought I would be, I have been eating right and exercising for about 3 weeks now and I am enjoying it.

I have been exercising at least 5 times a week and I really miss it when I don’t get a chance to do my workout. I am really finding this site motivation as well, when I look at other peoples weight loss I want to do it and it makes me feel less alone in the struggle.

2 of my good friends have joined me on the site and they are both doing really well! I have been working out with my friend Kate and she keeps me motivated and it makes exercise a lot more fun.

Take Care and I hope that everyone has a great week!

Wow, for someone with no willpower this weekend is going to be very hard! I am going to Folklorama with my family tonight and there are all kinds of amazing food all over. Saturday we are having a 65th birthday party for my father in law and that night is my brother and his fiancee’s engagement party (big dinner). Sunday we are going to a BBQ and taking our daughter to the Friendship Festival to see the Backyardiagans. I am going to be under stress and around lots of food all weekend…and not have any time to exercise.

Wish me luck I am going to need it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Some days are so much harder than others…. Today there was food everywhere I went. Cookies and Chocolate bars at work and my husband bought a big bag of chips for himself and they are there calling to me!
Some days I feel as though I am the only person who does not seem to have any will power at all. I am not too sure what to do or how to be strong.

The thing that is going well is exercise! I am doing great and really enjoying the activities I have chosen!

Oh well, I just have to take it one day at a time…..
