Our Church

So I don't normally post things like this but today I went to fill in a hole at church. The church was built on an old homestead and the well was not properly sealed off. So I filled up the back of the truck with buckets of dirt and go up there to start filing it in. I finally get the tailgate down, which was stuck. I get 3 buckets unloaded and I felt the Lords presence, I didn' t care if I looked like a nut or not but I feel to my knees and just prayed. Prayed and told God I was thankful for everything and please let life will get better. Most of you know last year was really rough on us. Lots of bed rest with being pregnant with William, then Jeremy lost his job... he's working again and has his licence again but it just been difficult this year. Pray for my family and we are always praying for you.

Weight Loss Not Going so Good!

We have all been very sick around here.  Jeremy has been sick for 3 weeks.  The kids and I started feeling better Sunday evening.  I hate that Jeremy is still sick! This diabetes is really kicking his butt.

So I have not been able to work out everyday due to our sickness.  I am hoping that I will be able to start back in a few days.  I worked out yesterday and the day before and I'm starting to get woosie afterwards like my sugar is too low.  So I have Jeremy's extra meter and I'm going to start taking my sugar after workouts if this continues.

I'm also making another small change to my workout.  I'm going to start getting up early to do my workout so that when the kids are down for their nap I can clean and do laundry.

I'm doing my Dance games so if anyone is wondering.  When I first started I lost quite a bit but I didn't keep up my diet after I got sick.  I didn't take my soda out during the first because I'm trying a few things.  However this go around I'm only going to allow my self 1 can a day.  I have to have my caffeine and I'm not ready for coffee yet.  I have never been a fan of coffee but I am kinda liking the dunken donuts coffee I'm trying now.

So other than that I'm trying to get my scheduled of things going.  I'm thinking of Vlogging bc it might be easier.  I want to record my weight loss and let people know that if I can do it they can too.  I know it is a hard battle but you have to get up and do it.

So hopefully next week I will know what I'm doing.  I kind of like typing but it takes a while to do it.

Weigh in.

Got up this morning and here we go its Friday.  Now my weight is 240 lbs so from 6 week post partum that is 16 lbs. Yay!  So keep dancing fat girl and we will see next week.

Weight Loss...

So trucker for 6 years and 2 babies later I have gained a lot weight.  I will do official weigh in next Friday but when I left the doctors office at Williams 6 week old mark I weighed 256 lbs.  I started playing Dance Central on Xbox and I feel the burn.

High School I weighed 125 lbs I was a size 12 and ran everyday. This was taken in 2002 the year I graduated.

 And here I am just a few weeks ago.  So I need help, support and strength to lose this weight! I don't expect to be 125 lbs again but to get to 160 would be great.  Please help support me in this challenge.  My first goal has been met that is to get up and do something about it.  My second goal is only 1 soda a week! I have to cut the sugar out and start cooking right.  

I promise to post at least once a week and hopefully I can successfully lose weight.  

Nutella Brownies WHAT?!?!?

You Add 1 cup of Nutella

10 tablespoons of flour

2 eggs

mix all in a bowl

Put them in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins ( may need more time if you cook it non-cupcake form)

and I didn't even get a picture after they were done they were that good.  

My son kept stealing them off the counter so you know they were that good.  

21g of sugar so not too bad for a diabetic.  

5 Dennis'

So it's been a while as usual.  We have a date set for the c-section.  It will be Aug 3rd unless the baby decides to come earlier.  We still don't know the sex but Jeremy is one happy Daddy.

I will be writing on here more due to our other new addition to the family.  We adopted a cockatiel.  A little boy named Rio.  He is about a year old and it takes a lot of time and trust on my part and his to tame them.  My mother has 3 of them one of which was mine till my ex and I split and due to the nature of a tiel I didn't push the issue of getting her back.  When I found this one I fell in love with it immediately.  Jeremy loves it too and we think we have found the perfect pet for us.  Dogs are not it anymore.  Ever since we lost Toby it has been hard for me to find another dog.
     Slowly we have been cleaning our home.  So much stuff to go through and get rid of.  I've narrowed alot of my things down.  Jeremy has done the same.

Chicken Penne Gorgonzola

OMG I have been wanting this for the longest time but I don't like waiting till I go to Oklahoma to get it.  This is a little different than Johnny's Carinos but OMG just as good. I believe the put mushrooms in their's but I put broccoli in mine.  I'm waiting on big daddy to get off work to let him try it but we have more time.  I'm going to take it with me and let him eat it at the open field on the way from work so we can watch the stars tonight.  

I made my own cream sauce from milk, butter, garlic, and flour.  No heavy cream so less fatty.  Next time I'm going to try whole grain pasta.  

I've been feeling horrible. Headaches again! Kamden doesn't feel good bc of his ears but that will be solved soon.  I'm so scared for him to go into surgery, but I know it's for the best for him.  

Surgery is on May 8th at 730 am I just hope and pray everything goes ok.
