About Me

My photo
I started my weight loss journey at 19 years old weighing 274 pounds, wearing a Size 22-24. I lost 115 pounds over two years, and was wearing a size 8! I got married, let my determination fall and I slowly gained 50 pounds of that back. Then I got pregnant and added another 55 pounds onto what I had lost. I am down 35 pounds so far and 70 pounds away from my goal. Join me on this life long journey!

Busy busy busy

I feel like the theme of my posts lately are about how busy I've been but I have not stopped or slowed down in a few weeks and this week is no different! 

Yesterday Sean upgraded his blackberry to an iPhone and I upgraded to a iPhone 5. It is SO much faster and will allow me to do business stuff much quicker. Now that Sean also has an iPhone we can face time while I am away in September and October. 

Today I was getting the phones transferred over and set up for a good chunk of the day then went to Walmart to get a few items that I needed. Tonight I have my second last soccer game but not sure how well I will do since I trimmed the skin around my toe nail too short last night. Gross right? Thursday night is our last game so that will be one less thing to go to. 

I am really looking forward to this weekend but I'll write more about that later this week! 

Even though I've been really busy I have still been eating really well and making healthy choices. The other night it had been a VERY long rough day and it was 8:30 pm and I still hadn't had a chance to eat dinner so I was just about ready to order pizza when I talked myself out of it and just ate the healthy food I had already bought for dinner that night. Needless to say I was proud of myself! 

Last night for dinner we had a feast of a chicken  burger, green beans, asparagus, and the best corn on the cob you can imagine. Then we went to Kiwi Kraze for a frozen yogurt treat. 

Anyways, that's all for now or I'll be late for soccer!

HBL challenge update...

I am half way done my HBL challenge today. I have been taking my vitamins every day 3 times a day, having my shakes and my tea as promised - but I have not been doing so well in the evening regarding my food intake.

That being said I am still not noticing any difference in my energy or body. My back is feeling much better but that is because of my physio exercises. I am still feeling extremely lethargic and tired all of the time. I still feel really sluggish too. My joints aren't feeling any better and my over all health is not feeling much better too. The only thing that gives me an energy boost is the LiftOff - which is still my favourite product.

When I started taking HBL the first time I did notice a difference but not one that was massively impressive. I did try the La Bamba diet but did not succeed at that (see post about my attempts).

My doctor has made a referral for me to go see a sleep doctor but I am going to see what I can try to figure out what I can do for myself first (the first apppointment isn't until the end of Aug and that is a LONG time away when I am practically falling asleep at my desk).

I'm not going to lie I was really hoping for better results in my energy with my HBL product challenge, but I will continue as planned and stick it out to see the end results.

I am trying to summon up the energy to go back to the gym too - right now it takes all my energy to finish the stuff around the house and then haul myself to bed. Right now I am so tired that my eyes are watering heavily and it looks as if I am crying.

Tonight Sean and I are going to go to the movies, which we haven't done in a really long time, so hopefully that will be relaxing (even though I am kind wishing we could just stay home and sleep, I know that won't help me). Wednesday night I am babysitting, so weather permitting I will go for a walk with Sammy, Thursday night is soccer practice, and I am planning on the gym for Friday. Working back into it slowly of course.

I think when I get home I will take a shower, shave my legs, and get into comfy clothes for the movie.
