Hahahahaha

Well its been over a year since I wrote in the blog. Kids are well I have not gotten those last few pounds off but new meds have given me a few more to try to get rid of. I have joined the y again and will go occasionally to work out on the treadmill hope to get there tonight but don't really care if I don't.

Al goes into grade 2 and Em goes into grade 5 Michelle graduated and will be going to STU in the fall

There ya go now were up to date.

Time flys

Boy there is so much going on here with end of school and everything. Time is getting away from us I can't believe its the middle of June already.

This is the last week of school and the kids have aboriginal day today middle child looks forward to it every year she loves the performances that the students put on.

Tomorrow is the high school prom Oldest is going with her boyfriend who graduates. She has a hair appointment at 1 and make up appointment up town at 4:14 it was the earliest she could get it I just hope we are able to get her there and home at a reasonable time. I won't have to worry about supper though since its middle childs birthday we will be going to Mc Donalds for her special meal.

Thursday is the elementary schools family picnic. We look forward to it every year this year will be fun as the youngest will be there since he's in kinder. it won't be too bad though as his aide will be there to help us out thankfully lol.

Last day is friday and they get out at noon.

I found out our library opens at 10:00 every morning during the week so we will try to get over every day for reading time and we'll park a ways away so we can get walking time in at the same time. I don't know how long that will last but we'll try it anyway. They have a reading club for the summer and it will give the kids something to do anyway.

Not much new with the weight loss it goes up and down within two pounds. I'm hoping to get more walking with the kids in the summer to help drop the extra pounds.

I hate colds.

All of my kids have had colds the last couple of weeks. The youngest still has his and now I've caught it. I think I've gotten parts of all the colds though because I have a sore throat like the oldest and stuffy runny nose like the youngest and a sore tight chest from I don't know who because none of them were complaining about that but it might of been the youngest because I have a cough like his as well. I hope I can get better quickly but don't have much hope as I don't sleep well but anyway I do have some gingerale to make me feel better just like mom used to give us as kids when we weren't feeling well.

My weight has been up and down so much that its depressing writing about it. I am at about 12 pounds lost give or take a couple. I will feel good when I get to 14 lbs lost as that will be the 10% mark.

I'm not getting much done in the house or the garden I keep thinking that If I get a good nights sleep I'll be able to get stuff done and am still waiting for the good nights sleep.

Blood pressure check.

I had a doctors appointment this week and my blood pressure is finally starting to go down. After two years of trying to lose weight and exercise It finaly started going down. I don't remember what the top number is but the bottom one is 88 it usually sits at 94 or higher.

I lost .04 lbs this week and that puts my total loss at 12.4 I am finding that I am not as hungry in the evening so that helps some. I also have been getting my walk in almost every day now that the good weather is here I just walk around the block a few times. If I do the big block 6 times its 5100 steps but most times I do the short walk so I don't have to wait for the traffic light. I have to count the short walk and figure out how many I need to get my total. If I do 3 or4 blocks two or three times a day I'll be doing ok.

I am down to a size 10 in pants and they are a little loose but I am thinking that because they are old pants that they are a little stretched out but I don't want to try on new ones yet and find out that the 10's don't really fit so I'll just pretend for now as it gives me motivation and I need that for sure.

Happy May

I missed weighing in last week due to flooding. All our on and off ramps were under water from Wed night to Fri/Sat. I decided that I didn't want to drive all over both sides of the city to get weighed in so I waited until the kids went back to school and went this morning(kids had Friday and Monday off for teachers stuff and Thursday due to flooding).

I lost 1 pound this week and didn't get much walking in. I got lots of fresh air and some exercise if you count raking the yard as exercise. I hope to get back to the track tomorrow not holding my breath though lol.

Gotta start on the spring cleaning tomorrow as well I'll start with the kitchen since we spend most of our time there. I will start at the door and work my way around to the right that way I'll start out with the easier half of the work load.

Thats all for now.

oops

Forgot to post last week. I lost 3.2 lbs I think anyway I have lost 12.2 ( its so hard to keep track of the .numbers lol).

Dh and I got out to walk a few times last week. This week not doing so well with the walking I did not make it to the walking track Mon or Tues and couldn't push myself to go around the block so I got the track this morning and did 14 laps then came home and did some hand weight exercises that I got from a prevention magazine If I do them every other day or so It will help tone up the arms.

I go to weigh in tomorrow and think I have gained but if I can not eat too much today I might just have a stay the same week. I will go to the track and burn off some calories before weighing in to hopefully help some as well.
