208….208….208….208
I weigh 208 pounds!
Well…
a year ago I was at my highest weight at 216. so. well. i’ve lost…something right? But holy crap! 208!!
I am generally a happy person. (seriously! Lol) But the one thing I am totally unhappy with is my weight. The pain I feel in my knees, my back, the fact that I am un-energetic, and a bit anti-social right now-all this I attribute to my weight gain.
Today is the day. Today I begin my adventure. I am a 31 year old-married with children-overweight-exhausted-unhappy with herself -woman. And it is time. Time to accept what I have made of myself. Time to get in shape and get healthy. Not only for me, but for my hubby and for my babies. Time to re-make myself.
I have the wants. I want to feel better. I want to look better. I want to be healthy. I want to feel sexy and beautiful …
I want I want I want!
So here am I, baring my gorda soul in a blog. Lol! It’s a start. And this will help me be accountable. I will post a picture sometime soon-YIKES! Scary I know, but it will be nice when I will be able to post an after to my before!
Good luck to me and to all of you who are in the same boat! And thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I appreciate all of you. And appreciate the support, prayers, and encouragement.
As I said, it is time. So I have to get off my big ol butt and start my workout!
Yay me!
I often laugh at my husband yelling at the tv, (EXCUSE me I mean his baby the High Definition 1080 p blah blah blah as he refers to it! 
)anyway yelling at it during sports stuff. And my dad yelling at his tv during political stuff. ( and omg! talk about needing ear muffs! lol the choice words my dear ol dad has for those shows!! )
Anyhow I caught myself yelling at the tv last night! Now that I think back I’ve been yelling at it since the beginning of this seasons American Idol. Mainly at the new judge Kara! haha Poor thing just doing her job. But her and I DO NOT mesh! Bad choice adding her. It was fine just the way it was.
So I’m trying to pay attention to how many inanimate objects I talk to. I guess I shouldn’t worry unless they start talking back! Than it just may be time for me to go all girl uninterrupted! Ha!
In other thoughts, I am quite thrilled that the only drama in my life right now is me fighting with Kara Diowhats-her-face
All is well!
Yesterday was our youngest child’s surgery. He had the surgical procedure by the name of Bilateral Myringotomy. Sounds scary? Nah its the medical term for ear tubes.
We get there and they take him back almost instantly for pre-op. He, being 3 years old, really had no idea why we were there or what was going on. For the most part he was very cooperative. (He was so mad when I took his lightning Mcqueen shirt off and placed the hospital gown on him instead!)
After waiting over an hour, he began to get very restless. Wanted to go. Took off the gown and started to put his shirt back on. lol my strong willed child! The doctor comes over to explain things. My son is sitting there with his finger in his nose! *blush*
I tell him “stop poking your nose!”
Doc says to Chris ” I love it! Dont stop. Look at me I made a career out of it!”
I laughed so hard! (my mama laughed but the kind of laugh that said um I dont get it. So after he left I explained it to her. He’s an ear NOSE and throat doc. His career consists of poking noses! haha Funny doctor!)
Next the anesthesiologist came to explain his part and then took him from my arms, and baby boy went just fine without a fight. My mama and I were asked to wait in the lobby.
Yes I am the biggest baby when it comes to my babies! I start to tear up and couldnt help thinking “poor baby! He trusted these people cause he knows I did and they are gonna drug him up and slice at him!” ok ok call me a drama mama! lol I accept it.
My mama was trying to send out a text letting our family and friends know he was in the surgery and to ask them to pray. For some reason it wouldnt send, so she gave me her phone and I started to try to figure it out. Then we hear “family of Chris….” I was like uhoh what happened! Cause I swear we were only sitting for like 3 minutes!
Out comes Dr to tell us surgery is over and everything went fine! Holy crap! That was FAST!
We go to the recovery area, and there is no one around to guide us. I just start walking around trying to find my son. I hear his cry, open the curtain and sure enough there is a nurse trying to hold my baby. He was not having it. He wanted me.
So I sit with him for a while. He was throwing a fit! Was crying screaming doing the whole arching his back thing. He was so out of it! Nurse said this was normal especially for kids coming out of the anesthestics. That it was due to his feeling disoriented not due to pain. My first thought was “how do you know the kids dont feel pain unless you’ve had the surgery yourself?”
Anyhow not too long after, we were released and on our way home. He was crying every 15 minutes. He kept saying his left ear hurt real bad 
Which happens to be the ear where the ear drum burst about a month ago due to an ear infection.
To calm things down, daddy suggested we have rootbeer floats! That went over very well! So daddy was the hero last night, to all the kids! Nothing like yummy vanilla icecream floatin in good ol rootbeer to cure sadness!!
Time for bed, baby boy was crying and kept breaking my heart over and over cause he would say “Mama leaved me. Mama leaved me.” Seriously!?! I was aching all over when I heard him saying that between sobs! He felt so betrayed by me!! waaaahhhh!!
Cut to this morning. We all had a good nights sleep. I asked him how he was feeling and he said ” I fwee bettie” Which translated means ” I feel better.” YAY! And it seems I have been forgiven for betraying him and handing him over to strangers to drug him up and slice at him! woohoo! Mama is redeemed!
I am looking forward to seeing a difference in his health. Ear infections cut down, and maybe his speech will improve since the doc said the fluid that was staying in his ears was cutting his hearing by 50%! We’ll see and I will keep you posted!
