So many questions...

I don't even know where to start, I have not posted on here in so long! I weighed myself last week and I was 10 lbs over ldw...ugh!!! It is so frustrating, but the thing is that a few months ago my hubby decided that he was ready to try for a baby. My first thought was YAY...IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! My second thought...HOLY COW...my daughter is 14...going into high school...and I just lost all this weight...finally!!! But of course I went back to my first thought...of course I want a baby with my husband! lol So...I quit taking my BC pills...and...now we wait. lol Of course since this time I have already been eating like I am pregnant...eating everything in sight! :) I keep telling myself that I have to exercise...even if I do get prenant...I need to exercise, but that has yet to happen! hehe As of now, I don't know what I am going to do, but would like to get some of those darn 10#'s off!!! That's my life update...hope all is well with everyone!

I am alive!! LOL!!!

Sorry to be MIA for so long...of course the summer is uper busy...and work the past 2 weeks has been absolutely CRAZY!!!! Thanks to the state of Nebraska, it won't slow or calm or whatever you want to call it for at least the next two months, so I will post as much as I can! Of course, this meant bad eating all week...and it is my pms week...double whammy!! I am up 2 lbs today...but that is after I thought about weighing, which was after a cup of coffee with cream! lol So it might not be as bad as I think...but next week definitely needs to be full of clean phase 3 like eating! I feel miserable and bloated so if not for the weight, I need to do it to feel better! :) Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend....I am off and running....again!

Oh and I guess here's where I no longer count my days of lifetime maintenance because I have no idea what day it is!!! LOL!!!! :):):)

LM Day 45

Good morning all! So I was absolutely frightened to weigh myself today...wasn't going to...drank a cup of coffee and then thought...better face the facts since this is the thinking that got me into the overweight situation to begin with!!! My fear was because I don't think I have eaten as much junk in my whole life as I did this past week...out of control!!! :) Week to week I keep telling myself that I am going to eat better and cleaner...and then I don't know what happens...life happens and BAM! Anyway, enough with my blabber...I did it and I was pleasantly surprised...I gained less than a pound from the last time I weighed (2 weeks ago, I think)! So I am still hovering around 5 lbs over ldw...like I said in a post earlier, I am truly amazed by this protocol...I can eat like this and stay about the same weight...WOW!!!! I am again going to tell myself to eat clean and healthy this week...we'll see how that plays out! lol I really want to get back to ldw!!! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! :)

LM Day 42

Not much today, other than it's another hump day! :) I am once again looking forward to the weekend and I think that every weekend should be a 3 day weekend!!! haha :) Here's wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday! :)

LM Day 41

Well it's back to work today... =( Oh well, I work well and eat better with a schedule, so I don't know what I would do without a job! lol When I had the day off yesterday it was rainy and gloomy and now that I am back at work today, the sun is shining and it's beautiful out...what's up with that?!?!?!? :) I realized this morning how amazed I am with this protocol. I have been eating things that I would have never dreamt of eating without gaining weight...absolutely amazing!! I have really been putting myself out there and eating A LOT (which I need to stop) but in the past I would have gained at least 10 lbs by now!! The reason I say I need to stop is because I don't like eating all the junk I am, I need to get back to eating good, healthier food. It's so hard though when it doesn't cause a huge gain! lol But I will get back to the healthier lifestyle!!

LM Day 40

Well I guess I might as well post, even though the day is almost over! Lol! I had a fantastic 4th of July weekend, hope everyone else did also! Lots and lots of celebrations, good family, good friends and good food!! I feel like I ate and ate and ate...starting tomorrow I must eat clean!! :) My husband got some wonderful fireworks photos, I will try to post one in a little bit. It's back to work tomorrow for me...darn, days off always go way too fast! :(

LM Day 37...Sorry, just had to do it! :)

Just had to change my background in celebration of Independence Day!!! I am getting anxious for the long weekend to get here...can ya tell?? lol On another note, I was a big scaredy cat this morning and did not weigh...I ate DQ late last night...so I will eat better today and weigh in tomorrow! 8-) Happy Friday to all...hope you have a fantastic 4th of July weekend!

LM Day 36

Welcome July...and ladies...we made it over the hump again...it's Thursday!!! I am really looking forward to a 3 day weekend...I get Monday off!!! YAY!!!! :) So finish out today and then only one more day of work before the fun begins!! Or should I say continues...the beginning of this week was pretty fun! lol Anyway, I went to bed at 10:00 last night...it was wonderful...I really needed some sleep!! :) Funny thing is that I woke up feeling more tired than any other morning...so weird how that works! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day!

LM Day 35

Talk about these late nights...geez last night I didn't get to bed until 1:00 am!! So the last 3 nights I have not been to bed before midnight!!! I am too old for this crap!! Lol!! Today was another busy day at work and so I am relaxing today and hoping to go to bed before 10 for some much needed zzzzz to gear up for another busy day tomorrow! ;) goodnight all!

LM Day 34

One word describes me today...TIRED!!! :) I don't remember the last time I went to bed before 10:30...I know whoopee right, but I normally go to bed at 10:00!! lol My hubby got home late last night from working on his new motor and I don't think he set his alarm!! We normally get up by 5:45, he has to be to work at 7:00...well...this morning he did not wake up until 6:45...omg!!! So that's how my morning started off and after 2 cups of coffee I am still not awake!! LOL!!!! :) We are going to some races a hour and 1/2 away tonight...so guess what...another late night! Gotta love the summer time though! Hope every one's day is fabulous! =)

LM Day 33

Wow....the weekend went FAST!!!! I hate when that happens! ;) So my week started off busy...had to leave at 8:00 this morning to go out of town for work and didn't get back until 4:00. Came home, made supper, did dishes, checked on here and finally posted, now it's time to get outside and enjoy the weather (Saturday was 105 and humid as no other) it's very enjoyable out today!! Have a great evening! :)

LM Day 30...IT'S FRIDAY!!!!

I weighed in at the same weight as last week...which is a good thing...but I would still like to get back down about 5 lbs. so I was hoping I would have a loss. I don't know why I expected a loss though because I have not ate the best this week and ate late last night (8:00 p.m.)!!! I will weigh again in the morning after eating cleaner today and hopefully see a drop.

I am super happy that it is Friday...this week has went fast, but seemed very loooong at the same time! Weird, I know. lol Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and enjoys their weekend! =)

LM Day 29

Another busy day today!! Lots of stuff going on at work...I didn't get off until 7:00 tonight!! Man what a long day!!! I ate dinner after I got home so hopefully that doesn't have negative effects on the scale in the morning!! Lol thank goodness tomorrow is Friday... I am so ready for the weekend!!

LM Day 28...whoops!

Oh man, I feel as though I ate a lot today! The Jimmy John's here in town had a customer appreciation day and $1.00 subs...I mean really, how do pass that up??? lol So I had a sub for lunch. And for breakfast, I made a mug cake, I hadn't had one of those in forever and being TOM is visiting I had a craving for it! :) Dinner is definitely gonna have to be something lighter...if anything at all...I am still stuffed! Hope everyone is having a fantastic hump day!

LM Day 27

It's been a pretty busy Tuesday, but I did just take an hour and relax a little!!!! :) I went and got a pedicure over my lunch hour...it was much over-do and absolutely amazing!! :) Now back to work and afternoon meetings...fun, fun! Hope everyone has a great day! :)

LM Day 26

Happy Monday! :) TOM finally arrived today...I swear I have been bloated for the last 2 weeks!! My stomach finally feels a little more normal today thank goodness. I have yet another busy week at work...have to remind myself to be thankful that I have a job! lol Hope everyone has a good week! :)

LM Day 25

Happy father's day to all the dads out there...especially my wonderful husband and my amazing father!! I had a wonderful birthday...the hubby and daughter bought me an iPod touch...they are so kind and thoughtful!! I am typing on right now!! :) this weekend has of course been very busy as usual, but it has been very fun! Getting ready to head to the race track in a bit...great way to end a great weekend!

LM Day 23

Happy Birthday to me!!! lol So I thought I ate really well this week and I was hoping to lose some weight...but I stayed the same...darn it! Better than I gain I guess, but geez! :) Have a busy weekend planned...can't wait! Happy to say the sun is shining today and I will be leaving work very soon to enjoy my birthday! :) My wonderful husband and daughter bought me an ipod touch for my birthday...I have been wanting one since Christmas...they are so sweet! =) Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

LM Day 21

I am finally feeling better today...I have had such a stomach ache the past 2 days! I just wish TOM would show up already. I expected it this week, but with the symptoms I am having, I know it will come next week! My eating this week was good up until today...my good friend took me out to lunch for my birthday (it's Friday) and we had Chinese food. It was very tasty and I enjoyed every bite...it's not everyday that's your birthday so you gotta enjoy these little things in life! =) I will be back on track tomorrow and then weigh on Friday morning so that I can enjoy my birthday and not have to worry about weighing on Saturday! =)

LM Day 20

I did pretty good with my calories yesterday, but was a little high with my carbs. Yesterday's target calories was 1694 and I ate 1697...I can handle that...but I try to keep my carbs under 100 g and I ate 122 g. Oh well, still stayed under 150! :) I am still waiting for nasty ole TOM to show up...I have felt like I should have it for the past 2 days, but nothing except cramps and bloating... I will try and remember to post yesterday's menu when I get home later. TTFN friends! :)
