Hello everyone here!!!

Sorry that it's been a loooooooong time, but things are crazy! I'm no longer trying to lose weight, but for good reason! We are now expecting our 4th baby and I am due December 31st...yep, a new years baby! But............I will do my best to keep plugging at healthy eating and doing what excerise I can. I just thought that I would let everyone know, and I forget to come to the site to update much, so please forgive me.

 

Love, Blessings and many wishes to all!!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for such a long delay....

Things here at home have been nothing less than crazy. I finially have the appointment set up for my knees, which is this coming Friday. From what I can understand, I will end up having to have surgery. I've gained some weight back, but once I'm able, I will be more than just that cute face. I am still hopeful, and doing all that I can to stay positive...though at times it's really really hard. Just ask my husband, he gets the raw end of the deal.

 

I hope everyone is doing well on their jounney and I keep all of you in my thoughts. Best of luck an Best Wishes.

 Hi Everyone,

I went to weigh-in and I am now at 177.0 lbs. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Losing weight is the hardest thing I have ever done! Next to giving birth. (LOL). I am keeping with it though. I know that for health reasons I need to do so. I just put on a size 9 jeans! I really didn't think that they would fit, but I figured what would it hurt to try to get them on except it probably would have depressed me if they didn't fit, since they did it sure felt good! Hurray!! I will get onand let you know more about the progress soon. Bye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone........

I just wanted to update everyone since I've not been on in a few days. Things here have been crazy. I posted in an earlier blog that my cousins grandpa had brain cancer, and unfortunaly, he passed this past Saturday. I found out that my brother has a spot on each lung and we don't know what they are. He used to be a firefighter and it could be from the smoke that he has inhaled over the years, or even cancer........but lets not think that.

Now, on to me......I do not think that things are going well for me. My eating.....haha, BAD BAD BAD!!! My excerise.........NON-EXISTENT! We have been running alot from our medical that has been going on. Though I've still NOT got the x-rays done, but I will Wednesday. We got to be up there anyways for another appt. for my husband, so I'll do it then. We sat at the ER today for almost 4 hours to make sure he was okay with his, NOW, hernias.....yeah, 2 of the damn things!!! I strongly believe that I have gained weight these last two weeks, but I WILL get back on track. I just need a fresh start and time to declutter my brain and my house! I know that being overweight comes with baggage, and I have to sort thru some of that, and I will, and I will come out on top! PROMISE!!! Though I've not gained ALOT, I don't want any, of course. I'm going to try improve our site a little since I'm just chilling out right now. But until next time I will say that I've had a gain of 1.5 pounds. :(

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get all of you that read our blogs that I am feeling "better" but not back to 100%! This stuff is really nasty and the last I heard, my in-laws had it too, so don't expect great things.....or anything this week.

I didn't weigh in, and don't know that it would do any good this week cause this crap makes you swell. My husband stepped on the scale and it said that he was something like 185..........that is a 6lb gain in 1 day...........I THINK NOT! Mine is still about the same, so I don't now what to think right now. I am going to count this as a no gain, no loss week. :( I hate to do that, but I know that once I get to feeling better, I'll be able to workout and drop the weight!

My fever is staying down, but I still ache, and my knees.......OMGosh! Lets not talk about those. They are getting worse by the day and I've not done excerise in 5 days! Now the pain is going all the way around the back. I've not gotten the x-rays done cause I don't want to get out and do anything.....go figure.

 

I have added a few photos of me, and sorry, but they are all face shots....(concidering I took them myself) but you can see some small difference in my face. Hopefully next week will have better results in store for me. And these pics were taken day 1 of me being sick, so I don't know how that is going to reflect on them, but I thought they were cute! (And my hair is fixed :O) That is a huge thing for me! I don't fix it unless I feel better about myself, so I guess that is something huh??

 

But that is about all I have as of right now.......but keep up the work and you will suceed!

Well, now I'm am officially sick. My throat hurts, I have aches and pains, a fever and I'm just exhausted.....even after taking a 4 hour nap....Thankfully the kids slept as well. I called my husband at work this evening to tell him to pick me up some motrin and soup from the store as he come home and he informed me that in "breifing" they said that there are 53 strains of the flu currently going around......17 are here in AZ  So everyone that lives here, be prepared, I guess. I just hope that it passes soon so I can get back to my routine. Although it's been only today, I miss it..........But what can I do. I'm not gonna make myself hurt worse cause I wanna ride my bike...hehe (slightly)

But that is about it at this hour, so until I get to feeling better.......Best of Luck and Stay Well!

Hi,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I may be out for a few days. My kiddies have the flu and I got up with a sore thoat So lets hope this passes soon. So far, the baby is still doing okay, but got her some pedilyte and fever reducer just to be safe! My knees are still hurting so I've went to every other day on the bike so I'm not really messing with them.

So that is about it for now.

Until next time,

Crystal

Hi all,

Well, I just got back from the drs. office and to no suprise I had a small gain But it's not horrible, the gain being 1.4 lbs. That is what I lost last week, but that's okay. I'm not all freaked out over it and I knew that I'd be lucky to have a loss with my body these last few weeks.

Now on to other things.......I have to get some x-rays done on my knees to see what is going on with them. The last week or so that have been hurting on the inside. (The inside of the leg, not internal, though that is where the pain is :O) So lets hope that goes okay! I hope it's where I ride the bike alot! Wish me luck on that.....though next week, look for a Big Loss!!! It's time for one for me!  

Until next time,

Crystal
