Down to 138!!!! Unreal, just unreal. But anyways I have better news. I am 9 1/2 weeks PREGNANT! Which explains why I havent been on as much as I have had a gazillion appointments and such to keep up with on top of my normal everyday life.

As you can see I am down 112 pounds. With only a 18 pounds til BMI goal!! (BMI of 21-22)  Oh my gosh... I see the numbers, and see the small clothes that I fit into but, when I write it out like this...it seems not real. But I am sure  many of you can completly understand me. With all our loose skin, (even thoughI have been exerciseing like the dickens) When I see myself naked, I feel like I am still fat, although I am not, and I know I am not. It is just the mental fight I have to put up with unitl I win!

 Anyways, I probably won't lose much more weight ( as I should be gaining weight with the pregnancy), but I think I might have a more difficult time gaining weight, as I have already lost 5 pounds since I conceived. But I am being good, eating food healthy for me and the baby plus taking extra vitamins. Any tips or advice would be greatful! Although this is pregnancy number 3 it is my first since RNY.

Thank you Jesus, for my wonderful supporting friends and family, and blessing me with a new baby, and a new body. Thank you, thank you, thank you, In Jesus' holy name, Amen.

This week I measured in at 142.4...... *giggle*.....  I can't help but be filled with joy just to see that. My BMI is 24.8 I am NORMAL!!! ..*tear*... So this is what it is like, AMEN! Everyday right now is another new goal that I swear I would never see again, as my grade 8 weight was 155, who would have thunk!

Anyways I am praying, lots of cool things lined up for me, and I am hoping that God will let everything work out, I know he ultimately has my plan already made, but I think I am starting to see some of it..... and man, oh, man, what a great plan it is.

Dear God, 
Please continue to bless me and my family.  Help me get my ECE equivilency and please God, help me get things for the school I want to open underway. I want nothing less thento worship you, in all I do, and in all you give me, then to worship you.

In Jesus's prescious name, AMEN.

Well, down to 143.4, and comppletely thrilled because my BMI is 25.0.... any more weight loss and I am NORMAL!!! Tee he he. Makes me giddy just to think about it! I am staying busy with work and life, my sister inlaw had her baby this morning, and I will definately have to see her after work, but before I load up stuff for my parents and of course before the baseballl BBQ! ( I did say I was busy right???? ) LOL

Well, like I said busy, and I can't chat long as I have a child to get ready and work to go to! Praise God that my work is still open in my city and please pray that more parents will want this school for thier children! (Especially the infants, as I need them for my class!)
Anyways ttyl,

Danielle

Curently, 144.2. I lost more then I thought! I was sick last week so I actually predicted no weight loss.. ( it was a GI bug, so it cleaned me out!) But I still lost a bit! %^)  wrote an exam today and now getting redy for a yardsale this weekend...... sigh. BUSY. But I am making it one thing.

Recently my biggest issue is getting my tummy, leg and arm skin to tighten up. EXercise, exercise, exercise, I go to the gym, play with the kids and even at work, I do sit ups, and "weight" training ( filled canteen with water and do arms weights) at work while the children are napping! I also have been using pure vitamin E on my skin during the night. and guess what..... I am startig to see some serious results! It might be to early to say, but I think I will need no surgery, (phew) to correct "loose"skin.  I was hoping it would be like this, as I am only 25, I figured my body should just"bounce" back with my skin elasticity... and with a bit of hard work of course!

Besides that I am starting to notice that many other thigns are begingin to overtake my life.  First of all I have a job, with schooling requirements that I haven't met yet..... so I need to decide do I get this schooling and work or do I find another position??? Which leads me to the second thing, I wanted to do a different schooling, and in fact, have already started.... so do I do both schoolings?? or just one? Sigh. And that is besides the point that I have to go and buy like and entire NEW wardrobe for my job, because she wants uniforms, and she want US to buy them. A very SPECIFIC purple top and grey bottom... hmmmm. Not the nicest colours, but now all that beautiful clothes given to me from my sisters nad mother for work are no good for work.... this kinda sucks.

I also want to start to make some extra money. So I this thinking anout starting up my Partylite candle shows again... That will not start until October though..... One thing at a time.  And of course, dispite the fact that I am getting smaller, my family is quickly outgrowing this house! So with prayer and hard work I will be blessed with my jewlery and candle businesses on top of my work and of course my husbands work.

Well, N E ways, I have to go now, lots of love,
buuh bye!

See here I am at 144.8 And the best thing to report is that my BMI is 25.2......... only another pound (give or take an ounze) and I will be a NORMAL weight. Not morbidly obese, nor obese, and not even overweight....... simply normal. The thought actually brings tears to my eyes......

Well, i gtg, I have to work today (very happy I make money... but sad because my children are at my mom's)... covering for toddler, so I will be busy!

ttyl, Danielle

Well here I am, 9 months out. Currently 147.6 pounds, started at a whopping 250lbs, and my goal is my surgeons ideal weight goal for me, 120, which may I add I am only 27.6 pounds away from achceving!. I have NEVER been 27 pounds away from any of my previous goals, this is exciting to me!

In a tight spot with money right now.  Ands it is becuase my maternity stopped and my job fell through. I won't start until September... and thats a lot if money I am not making..... well I should clarify........ it is SOME money, I don't make a lot! LOL 15 bucks an hour is not a lot. 

It doesn`t look like I am going to get this job at the school that I talked about last week either...... which I am ok with. I still have another job lined up, it is just that my schooling future has been determined! I will continue to take online University courses, and get a second teachable in general science so I can teach intermediate or high school. Second to that, I was also thinking about getting a geography teachable.... but my husband is doing that so we can be diverse!

Anyways, I had an emotional night, stayed up late because my mind was running a gazillion miles an hour. and my foot hurt.... ( workplace injury... although I will never be able to claim it as one)

Neways, 
ttyl,
Danielle


Dear God, 
YOU know my heart, my hurts, my loves, my fears and  my hopes. Please give me your peace this week, and please continue to bless me and my household. We may not have much, but we have you..... and that is everything. Thanks God. In Jesus name, Amen. 

 

Down another pound. 148 is my current weight. I love the way I look in clothing, may I add, I am a size 8 in pants!!! And a small to x-small in womans, and not just at walmart, but also in Old navy! My husband picks me up and carries me around, my elderly neighbours don't recognize me when I bring them veggies from my garden and my self esteem is higher and more confident then ever. What an amazing journey this has been.  An now that I am approaching my 9 month out I see the numbers, and am just amazed, that this time last year I was out in the dumps, wondering if I would ever ride an amousement park ride or lose enough to fit into normal cloting, and here I am...... 

Well, I gtg, busy bee. Hoping for a new job, and preparing, just in case I do get it! (I want this grade 1 class so badly!) Pray for me that I get it, thanks!

ttyl, 
Danielle

Dear God, 
Thank you for keeping my appetite under control, and teching me so many new things about you, and about myself in the past while. I know there is a 3 in 1 chance that I get this job, but so much more rides on this job then a new position. It is my entire future career, public or private school teaching. Another child in a few years, or possibly no more. I am keeping my faith and strenght in you in this time of change. I want to go where ever you lead me. Not my will but your be done. In Jesus' precious name I pray these things. Amen. 

So here I am at 149.0 thats down 101!!!!! Mwa ha ha! I need to contact someone and get my century club card, I have been looking forward to this for so long!

Well, I went to Illinois this past weekend and was very busy, it broke my plateau, yes. At this point in the game I take anything,  and to make it better, i weighed myself in the afternoon. %^)

Anyways I got to go,
I have to put away all my stuff.

150.4...... thats 99.6 pounds down... does that count as 100?? Cause I am telling people I hit that mark! LOL! Anyways, this week will be short, I have work, and school... *sigh*  One day it will get easier..... I think. LOL

ttyl, Danielle

Thank you Jesus for giving me this chance and opportunity to lose weight, fell good about myself and honour you in the process. Help me to continue to live to serve you and guide me with your loving hand. I love you. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Down to 151.4lbs! 1.4 til one hundred down! I am sooo excited! I was hoping to lose a bit more this past week, but my hubby's schedule changed, which in turn meant my gym time was altered..... he can no longer get a ride into work, so
I don't have a car.... ... which means no gym during the week.  I neeed to find something alternative to that.

I do have Zumba videos, which I use and enjoy :) , a sit up machine, some bell weights and a few contraptions to help with  strength training...... maybe I should just cancel my gym membership and workout at home..... hmmm.

Well, I will give ya the heads up, I am covering a vacation for the next 6 days. (friday, mon-fri) So if I don't write in at my usual time I will still try to update my info on thursday. I am hoping that my working will get me past that stinkin 100 pound wall.

..... besides that, I guess that there is not much more to update... I am making jewlery (necklaces, barrettes, rings, etc.) like crazy to see if I can make some money from my creativity at the yard sale I am holding in a few weeks and I am also preparing a b-day party for my youngest and more recentlt discovered to me...... I have 2 ground hog eating my garden..... GGGRRRRR. I thought that problem was gone, until this morning I found two smaller groundhogs fighting in my garden... sigh. Reminds me, gotta call my Dad to get his live trap.

ttyl,
Danielle

P.S. Thank you Jesus for my RNY!
