2. The homeschooling conference ROCKED!
3. Continued prayers that AF would show her ugly face soon would be appreciated, otherwise I'll have to cancel my Thursday appointment.
4. TOMORROW IS ADOPTION DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Jamie, for the idea for my weekly weight-loss post!
This week's total...*drum roll*...3.2 pounds! Not too shabby. This puts me 2 pounds from my first mini goal of the year, which I think was like 26.8 pounds. This is wasn't the goal the culminates in my green chucks (that will be the next one), but I'm still pretty proud of myself. Hopefully next week, I'll hit it! Help me think of a reward for myself when I reach it! Should I move the green chucks up, or do something else?
Here's my critique of the week...
Things I did ok with this week:
I highly suggest you watch this video. Especially if you've ever been in a position of infertility, you will find this hilarious!

Well, I'm just sitting here with Asher, watching Dora. Team UmiZoomi just got done (he loves that show so much!). We went to a tiny town near our house to go for a walk (since I told you all last week that my goal was to get to the Y three times this week. I think the walk counts.) and play at the park. That's right, folks, we have to drive to get somewhere we can walk! You try pushing a stroller on a gravel road that's been largely taken over by mud! No thanks! Anyway, he was SUPER good during our 30 minute walk. He was just content to sit in the stroller and talk to me and look at the houses and birds. It's probably a novel idea to him to see houses so close together, since we live in the middle of nowhere. We started our walk at the park, and I told him if he was good, we could play when we were done. Since he was so good, we played for about 30 minutes at the park. He had a great time sliding and climbing and playing with ginormous leaves...
Seriously!? What is wrong with me?!? I really thought I did pretty well this week! (Other than the night at work when someone brought cheese sticks from a pizza place. Don't they know I'm dieting? What's wrong with them?!?) I GAINED 2 pounds! What the crap?!
Am I still making up from being sick?
Doubtful.
Do I need to find the time to get to the Y more regularly?
Certainly.
Do I really plan to starve myself?
Probably not. But I'm highly considering it. Especially tomorrow when I'm supposed to go to a dinner theater with my church. I may just not eat anything the rest of the day, so I can enjoy the food there guilt-free.
My plan of attack:
Try to get to the Y at least 3 times in the next week (*eye roll*).
Be more serious in point-counting.
Watch my water intake. (I've been drinking too much pop, I think. Even if it is diet pop, I think I need more water)
In other news, I threw my back out yesterday. I was in the shower, and went to put my leg up on the side of the tub to shave my legs, and all of a sudden my back just started killing me! Needless to say, I didn't shave my legs. I walked around for awhile whimpering and panting. I called Nick and he volunteered to take Ash to his eye doctor appointment, which is great. (That man is better to me than I deserve, I promise you!) Anyhoo, after ibuprofen, icy hot and a nap it wasn't as bad. Just sore. It's sore still today, so I'm going to baby it some more today.
I started my provera yesterday. I'd appreciate prayers that my body will cooperate and be on either CD 1, 2 or 3 on the 1st. Thanks.
March 31, 2010 at 9:30am, or little man will officially become ours!
We are SO excited!
That is all.
...uh...wait. Maybe not. I'm thinking that Thursdays should be my official weigh-in day. Here's why: I always sleep like normal on Wednesday nights. Since I like to weigh after a whole night's sleep on an empty stomach, I think Thursdays would be the best day to do it. Stupid night shift messes up everything! Anyway, help me think of a catchy name for it.
This week's weight loss was terrible. In fact, I didn't lose any at all. I gained 0.4 pounds! Ugh! Here's what I'm attributing it to:
Evidently, my weigh-in day has migrated to Wednesday. Oh well. My work schedule's dumb, anyway. Working nights messes up everything!
Anyhoo...*drum roll*...5.6 pounds this week! Now, granted, I was sick Monday and didn't eat anything really, but I did eat like normal since then, so I'll take it! Next week will probably suck in comparison, so remind me of that when I lose some pitiful amount and threaten to slit my wrists or something. lol (I won't really slit my wrists...don't get all worried.) Anyway, as I was updating my weight loss ticker, I realized that I've been doing it wrong, so, while it's keeping track of my current weight, it's not really giving me a good graph to show me the past. But, with this week's loss added in, I've lost 24 since I started in January, and right about 50 since my highest weight last January. Not too shabby. I have WAY far to go, but small goals are my friend.
I've decided once I weigh what my license says, I'm going to reward myself with these:
