177 is the new number. It helped that I was sicker than a dog....speaking of dogs our darling charlie is gone, I mean husband took him the humane society, he stepped on his feces and ran around the house and left poop marks all over and that was the straw that broke the camel's back because we had already made so many arrangements around him to not give him away. We are sad and miss him dearly he is absolutely wonderful with children and had a lot of good qualities but he was not a good match for the home. My oldest daughter cried a lot to the point that hubby and I sat down and talked about bringing him home again ( I was feeling guilty) but I like that now we can have the chairs back at the table since we could not because charlie would climb on them and get on the table and push them to the point of getting on the counters and find food, he ate his own poop and then wanted to lick the girls faces and I did not like those things and the chewing at all so the decision was mainly based on health. We love and miss him dearly.

Still in the 180's

But I am increasing my exercise. I found a book I think will be very helpfull, specially with my spirit and mind I have not purchased it yet. I will keep you all updated on that.

My ex husband did not learned his lesson when my lawyer told him to stop sending me insult-emails he sent yet another in which he calls me parasite. My husband is about to go postal on his A**, but that would not bring anything good specially for the girls who really look up to my husband. I am trying to locate a great woman lawyer speciallized in custody cases since my ex lawyer was helping my ex with info on taking me to court for a cut in child support, he pays 400$ per child, my brother pays 700$ for one my friend gets 900$ for her one child. He makes a good living and he still asks me for money to take the girls out!!! he has no shame.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and my husband and I decided to give eachother goody bags with little things with hearts and cute sayings. I got a few little things for him already and am keeping my eyes open for more.

Hello Y'all

I have been in the 180's for a month the lowest 182.0. I got 4lbs to loose for the minus 30 lbs goal. My husband has joined me and his mood is not very good I nearly baked him yesterday a cake just to get him back in a good mood but bless his heart his really wants this and I need the partner/competition.

My mother came to visit for my daughter's 2nd birthday and was shocked when she saw me, she says the difference is big with just a 26 lbs loss.

In other news I am on the prowl for another lawyer, I am really mad at the ex husband for leaving the girls alone in his house while he went to the store. These children are 7, 4 and 2 yrs old!! He is always fishing for something bad to bitch to me about in relation to my home and husband and how we raise the girls, but he is not finding anything and that must be driving him crazy. We watched Herbie recently and the oldest daughter told her dad about it and he started questioning her about the movie. Is it violent, scary, etc.... until I took the phone and told him it is rated G but that was not enough for him he had to bitch.

Oh NO!

I started the 24th fine and had dinner and hot cocoa and cookies, next morning +2 lbs. On the 25th I had a big breakfast for the family and gained another 2 lbs, oh but it is ok I am already back and lost 1.5 lbs already. I am just mad at my self because those 4 lbs took a week to get rid of and only 2 days to put on. LESSON LEARNED.

Kids are with my ex and his new girlfriend and her 2yr old son. I am redecorating the girls bathroom with bubbles and ducks and it is looking sooo cute. I will post pictures when it is all done.

Hard times

2005-12-07T09:04:00.000-05:00

I am having a hard time this week. I got down to 194.5 and in the past 2 days I been at 195.0 I am exercising 2 hours straight I don't get it. I still have 77 lbs to loose. I thought this month would be easier than the last. Oh well I need to suck it up and keep at it.

2005-11-20T09:50:00.001-05:00

I have removed 10 lbs!!! at this rate by the end of the year I will have removed about 30 lbs total.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I am loosing!!!!!

2005-11-20T09:50:00.000-05:00

I have lost 7.5lbs in two weeks!!!! I am getting ready for a new pair of jeans!!

In other news one of my ex's flavor of the month is moving in with him. She has a son (don't know what age) she is supposed to be a Dr. She declined child support (I even wonder if she knows who the boy's dad is). She came to visit came to a teacher/parent meeting (the nerve) then she called me to ask me about my ex because she got RED FLAGS about him lying and cheating, I told her to listen to the red flags and now she is moving in! My guess is all that medical schooling burned her brain. I hope she is mean and she makes my ex go to pick up her boy at day care and cook and clean because she is stuck at the hospital...that is if she is really a doctor. He always sells this women to me as the biggest thing on earth and then when things don't work out the are just "loosers like me" in his own words. I just worry about my girls and those 2 ..... Now the ex I am sure this was her idea wants his child support reduced. Give me a BIG break!!!

Man oh Man!

I have not lost a pound since Friday, I am buggin'. Debbie Siebers and Denise Austin are my best friends or worst enemies (when I am really in pain). Their exercises are killers I am doing 3 hours of them combined and ouch! I better see some pounds gone by Friday's weigh in.

If you are a mom then you know how hard it is to work out when you have children around you. My 2 year old sat on my stomach as I was trying to do crunches and the dog is licking my face, I tried to ignore them and finish and finish I did ignoring them was very hard.

WOO HOOO!!!

2005-11-12T13:42:00.000-05:00

I have removed 5 lbs this week!!! I will really start getting exited after 20 lbs. In other news ex husband brought his flavor of the month or week to a meeting we had with our daughter's teacher!! Can anybody believe this, I am tired of him introducing these women to the girls....then again this will show them one of the many reasons why I divorced him.

I have snake phobia and I have 2 encounters with little ones (still too big for my taste) while preparing the front of the house for gardening. I go into full panick attack. I wish the would see me out there and know that I don't like them and they would stay away until am gone and if they see me coming out to work on the area they would leave the area. What can I say I am a dreamer.

I got married and could not be any happier. Ex husband still a pain in my tush. Lawyer seems to be on my ex's side and not mine. Kids are doing great, Yasmin went from level 4 reading to a level 8! we are very happy!! Oh! we got a new pup he is a Beagle and is the cutest thing. I got a digital camera so I will be posting lots more. I am still trying to loose weight, find a career and become more spiritual.

Has it been that long?!

2005-06-21T08:21:00.000-04:00

Since I posted?!

Well, what can I say, the wedding is still on Sept 24, 05. I had to go to a lawyer to get the child support taken out of my ex's account or paycheck any ways because we had a daughter after we divorced the child support will be raised 400$ per month. He will explode since he thinks what he is sending is way tooo much, sorry dude acording to the law it is not enough. I also have to endure humiliation and harrassment to get him to give me the check, he asks me for lude acts and tells me because I must still have money left from the previous check he doesn't have to give me anything. I am afraid of what he will do once he finds out about this and I already told my lawyer I am not leaving his office until I know all is clear and he won't follow me home. I am afraid tha he will kidnap the girls.

This lawyers fee has tapped into my wedding budget in a big way so I am having to cut corners on a very small wedding. Instead of having the reception at a local restaurant now we are having it at the house and I am finding myself debating with the photographer to knock at least 100$ from what he is charging us and not to mention I am growing my own bouquet and wedding reception flowers(sunflowers). This is my second marriage but is my first wedding. I had to cut out the wedding gown and replace it with a mother of the bride dress that looks like a very simple wedding dress, my hair, nails and make up I will have done at a salon.

We are also looking for a home...as if we did not have enough stress.

I have gone from a size 16 to a 12!
