    Friday for mandy

    Hey all.  Well it seems as though everything is working against me.  I didn't get to join weight watchers this week...hopefully i can next week.  I keep getting further and further off track....I gained two pounds this week.  I'm very disappointed in myself!  Same old story I guess...and the more upset at myself I get the more I over eat!  I have it all backwards as usual.  I know it's a new week and I'm going to try my best to get going again!!!

    Saturday for Nat!

    Hey!  I'm only .2 down at the weigh in on Thursday night. :(  But I won't complain too much since I lost 10 pounds last week.  I had fun at my Super Bowl party and don't regret going (well maybe drinking and eating less! ha!).  Have a good weekend everyone and I am going to clean my house and burn some calories!

    Mandy-Friday

    Well it's been a rough week but I'm glad it's friday.  I am joining Weight Watchers next week with a friend.  I am also joining a gym!  I think this is all stuff that will get me going and LOSE THAT WEIGHT!!!!  Tomorrow is my sons first birthday so I'm pretty excited.  Lots of family coming to visit!  Hopefully I can keep myself from eating birthday cake!  lol

    mandy thursday

    So after a rough couple of weeks I am still having trouble getting back on track!  I've been doing better on my eating... but still can't get myself to exercise!  After a lot of thinking and soul searching I talked to Natalie last night about auditioning for Season 6 and I think we are going to do it!!!  It is going to be so hard leaving my baby and husband, but I have to do something!  I have tried so many times to do this on my own and failed.  I want to do this for me!!!  So hopefully we will make it through and get to be on the show.  I would LOVE  to be the first woman to win BL!!!  Or if Natalie won I would be so happy with that too!!!  Wish us luck!

    Natalie's First weigh in tonight!

    Hey people!!  Tonight is my first Weight Watchers weigh in!  I wish it was NOW so I could eat! LOL....but it is after work at 5pm!  I will let everyone know how I do.  I'm thinking it's going to be around 9 pounds. Wish me luck! :)

    Wednesday..finally slowing down

    So, this has been the week from hell!!!  Spent every day and evening at Grandma's house trying to help her through.  We only went home to sleep!  Then Sunday I had to take my son to the ER because he has been sick and having trouble breathing.  Found out he had RSV.  They sent us home and basically said there was nothing they could do but keep giving him nebulizer treatments at home.  MOnday morning I took him to the regular doc and he looked at him for all of 20 seconds and said take him straight to the hospital.  So Monday and Tuesday we spent in the hospital with Hudson.  The funeral was TUesday morning and my friend came and sat with Hudson while we went.  Luckily at around noon they let him go home!!  He is doing a little better but still sick.  I am EXHAUSTED!!!!!  I haven't done great on my eating and needless to say I haven't been home to exercise....I am scared I have gained.  But, on the good side things are starting to calm down today and I WILL get back on track tomorrow!  I'm so disappointed I missed the Million Pound Tour...but my rockin team mate got me a book signed!!  Woo hoo, thanks Natalie!

    Natalie's Tuesday Blog

    Happy Tuesday!  I had a great time at the Million Pound Tour this weekend in Wichita.  Julie and Jim were awesome!  I posted some pics in my album on the page.  I missed meeting Mandy, but hopefully we can meet soon!  I haven't worked out since Thursday :(  Monday was a BAD day.  I'm scared to get on the scale!!  I will continue to forge on...and kick the ass I know I can.  It's a daily struggle of ups and downs.  The show made me mad last night!  I didn't want BetteSue and Ali to go!!!!!!

    Friday Revelation

    I was sitting on my butt today while hudson was napping watching Oprah.  They were doing a show about this being our year to end our struggle with weight.  As I was watching something in me just clicked.  All my life I've been controlled by food.  I use food to deal with my problems.  When I'm sad, depressed, mad, stressed, whatever I eat and eat to make myself feel better!  Sitting there watching this show I realized....I am stronger than this!  I will not let food control my life any more!!!  I don't want to be fat any more.  I want to enjoy my life and not be restricted because of my weight.  So, I am challenging myself now... With the death in the family, now would be the time I would usually gain 10 pounds from grief eating....I will not do it this time.  Food will not fix this problem, it will only make it worse.  For the first time in a long time I feel in control.  NO matter what comes my way I will win this battle.  I will lose this weight and become the person I want to be!!!
