Sweet!! It keeps rolling off DOWN 22 LBS
I am so tickled to share that I am down 22lbs. I was scared that with the holidays it would the other way around. I tried so hard not to eat junk food and it paid off. This is the hardest time of year with having the family's that I have that are some of the best cooks in the world. What a way to start the new year off!! WOW I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT..... I have never stuck to something like this before and actually see results.
Time for Sub for SANTA
It is that time of the year for giving and not just receiving. Every year we as a family find a family of kids that wont be able to get any gifts. Chris and I have decided for the 2ND year not to get each other a gift. Instead we will spend that money on teaching our kids on importance of helping others during this time of year. This year I had a co-worker with a close friend that the husband lost his job awhile back. He has one now (which is good) but they are so far behind we stepped up and told them we would take care of there Christmas for the kids. They have four kids at the age of 6 girl, 4 boy, 2 boy, and a 2 month old boy. So off one night to the store with our 2 boys for the shopping of the Gifts. We told them what we were doing before we left so they would understand. We allowed them to pick out all the toys for the 3 older kids. I picked out the baby stuff and the clothes. We made sure and got some toys to wrap, a toy from the big guy that comes down the chimney(since that is what kids will remember the most), and a new outfit to wear. This year we had some generous help from Mike and Laura Lance( my parents) they got them a new set of pajamas for them to open on Christmas eve. and to wear for the night. We feel like we did a great job this year (as you can see from the picture).Yes and I am proud to announce that Chris's parents chose to help out with food. They bought them a Turkey, eggs, bread, muffins, milk, pineapple, oranges, potatoes for a nice meal on Christmas day. It looks like a lot but there is 4 kids to take care of. We enjoy doing this as a family and know one day our kids will truly understand in what we have chosen to do each year. We are very proud of our parents to choose on there own without being asked to pitch in. It was there choice and example of life on why Chris and I do things like this. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We hope you all have a good Christmas and a Great new year. Best wishes and remember to PAY IT FORWARD.
HIP HIP HOORAY I HIT 10LBS YESTERDAY!!
I know that I am going a little over board on this weight loss thing but, My first goal was to hit 10lbs I wanted to do it by the end of Oct. but I am still happy that I made my goal. My next one is 20lbs and I am thinking that I will gave myself till February. That way I know I will be able to do it.(I hope). I have been sick the last 2 days and I have not been able to do a lot so I am scared of the scale. But still happy about the 10 lbs
Mind over Matter rocky road
This was in taken in June 08
This was taken 3 weeks ago.
This was taken today 11-6-08
So I don't rememeber when I updated my mind of matter. But I know that it has been a few weeks. So I have tried not to weight myself more then once a week but it is hard. The last week it was kind of scary. I was due to weight in at work, and I did on the first day it opened. There was a 5 days period in which you could weight in, so I thought that I would do it before I forgot. And of course after I do that I gained 2 lbs back, I weight myself today and I have lost a total of 9 lbs. I am so happy that I have stuck with this new life style. I am posting pictures to see if you can see the changes. I can see it and thats all that matters.
A night of Fun
Wednesday I had made some chicken pillows for dinner. The boys have never had them before and they both were very hungry. We started eating and all of the sudden Jackson jumps out of the chair runs for the bathroom. Chris and I really did not think anything of it cause he has done this before. When he eats something that he doesn't like he runs to spit it out in the bathroom. This time it was different he was in there longer then normal. Chris gets up and goes in and checks on him and he is choking. Jackson is able to breathe and talk so we thought that he has Schatzki's ring, which a few people on Chris side of the family have this. I will give you a little run down of what it is. Schatzki's ring refers to an anatomical narrowing in the lower one-third of the esophagus. In early development, the lumen (center)of the esophagus becomes completely obliterated and the reopens to form a hollow tube. A failure of this process leads to a ring which partially blocks the end of the esophagus and then stuff will get stuck in the ring and you are not able to swallow.
Jackson has had a few issues when he was little where we thought that he might have it but then it stopped. So poor buster was in the bathroom trying to get it out. And Chris is telling him what he needs to do to get it out. Jackson was not able to understand the concept on how to get it out. He started to show signs of weakness from trying so hard.This is when I started to get scared. So we decide to take him to the hospital. Chris told him what they do to get it out so he was scared. On the way to the hospital Jackson said "mom are they going to cut me open" I told him no that he would be a sleep while there getting it out. He sat there for a minute and then asks "mom how will I swallow the pill to make me go to sleep" I told him not to worry about it. I did not want to tell him about the IV.
So they check us in a room after waiting 30 mins in the waiting area. And it took them another 45 mins before anyone came into the room. I guess that it is not a big deal when you can't swallow. The doctor comes in and I told him that I don't want them to give him any muscle relaxers cause they have not worked on anyone. So the doctor and I decided to just go in with a scope and get it out. So he goes and checks to see if there is a doctor available to work on Jackson for his age. Just my luck there is no doctors that feel comfortable to work on him. So they told us that we needed to go to PCMC. So they get it all set up so once we get there they can rush him right in. So I call Chris and told him what was going on and he wanted to come up there with us but I did not want Corbin to go. So Lynda comes and gets Chris and Corbin and we meet at 1300 w and 9000 s. Chris gets in the car and we are just turning onto 90th and Jackson says "it's gone" Chris and I look at each other and then ask him what do you mean. Jackson said " I can swallow see" he took an big drink of water and Chris and I were happy that it passed on its own. I guess I jumped the gun, next time I will let him try longer to get it out. And I hope that there is not a next time.
