Challenge

So somehow me challenging my father to loose weight with me became this huge weight loss challenge! There is between 5-7 people who hopped on board with this who heard through other people that my family was doing this! crazy! My sister and I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to put $1 for each pound they loose into a pot and the winner would take it all! My father then suggested that we should each start out with $10 in the pot to keep people motivated and add $1 for every pound above and beyond the $10 buy in!

I'm excited and it seems that everyone else is too! I'm at a point right now where I started the C25K to change up exercising and give me a boost (and to prove to some people that fat ppl can, in fact, run!) but I needed more motivation in the food aspect, I've been hardcore slacking! Needless to say with this much money on the line I'm all business lol

I did it!

Well thanks to the inspiring Alica over at Mommy Blog I started the Couch to 5 k today! I modified it slightly since I haven't ran since I played rugby in 2002 and I was pushing Rowyn in her stroller but still! I did it! I need to find my other knee wrap since I only had one and had to debate which knee to wrap...now the unwrapped one is hurting lol I get my maternity EI tomorrow so I'm excited to get a few groceries and eat more veggies...it's so hard being so broke and trying to eat right. It's so sad that in our society the crap is cheaper then the real food :( It makes me sad. Anyway overall i'm proud of myself today :)

She Lives!

Well, It's been awhile but I'm finally starting to feel human again! I'm still sore often, and I have a stitch that poking me but all in all I'm back. I'm down another 2 lbs this week making a total of 43.2 pounds lost since I started my journey!! yehaw! That's also dropped my BMI by 8 points and tomorrow (if Rowyn will allow it) I want to see how many total inches that adds up to. I'm pretty darn excited about this, not that it's been easy, but it makes the victory just that much sweeter! I've posted a new face shot because I'm so excited that I can see a difference in my face and can actaully see a little dip in my collarbone! whoot! Don't mind my girlie heading for the breasts(with her silly face on)...apparently it was lunch time and please ignore the fact I look like a dirt bag, this was a few days after surgery lol

I didn't quite reach my Easter goal of loosing 25 lbs but I made it to 18, and now have joined the Canada Day challenge on the 100+ board and pledged 20lbs lost my Canada day, so far i', down 4.4 so I'm on my way! Activity Points are hard to earn right now because I'm still sore from surgery and I'm not really supposed to do too much or lift the baby in her stroller or car seat, but I think we may go for a walk tomorrow. I think I can drive the stroller down the stairs and then go get her and put her in it lol. a couple slow laps around the block will probably do us both the world of good!

I've been wanting to make stir-fry lately but have never attempted this...any pointers? What does everyone like to put in it and what do you use for a sauce?

good riddence!

SO I had surgery yesterday and got my gallbladder removed , yay but man I'm hurting! It sucks though that I didn't get to hold my baby at all yesterday and my boobs are hurting from not nursing her! I'm only expressing what I need to take off to be "comfortable" but I miss nursing my little Bug :( Anyway just a quick note to say haven't fallen off either the planet or the bandwagon and I'll have a real update soon :) Hope everyone is doing well!

Oh and check out my Diva modeling her new bathing suit from the Easter Bunny!
