OhMyGawd!

It's been a while since I posted on here, and a few things have recently happened..
Well Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, my Dr. moved to a whole new city so I had to find another one, weight loss, and that's about it.

I don't know how much I have lost so far, I think I'm like 40+ pounds down, but I avoid the scale like the plague.
Here is a current picture of me,

and here is a before picture of me. 



Yeah, I can see a small difference. 
Anyways... this is what I got for Christmas.


But i think it was more because......

but I digress... anyways I am going to try to get back on this bloggy horse and write away. 
Later taters.

Finally Finished!!

I finally finished it!! The table that is..lol
Now I just have to do the side hutch, and I am thinking of doing the folding table and my hope chest in the living room....Then I will move into the bedroom and do all that. And I am considering repainting the bedroom too...sigh
But here is the picture of the dining room table!




Anyways diet is going good, other than I have a freaking cold and I am the all for that feed a cold, starve a fever saying..lol
My throat is sore, and I feel like crap but I am still moving. Yesterday I stayed in bed ALL DAY. I kid you not. I felt that bad.
Today I still feel like crap BUT I am going to finish cleaning the house. I am considering doing some deep cleaning of the living room. Moving the couches and chairs and all the other things and sweeping and mopping. IDK if I am just being too optimistic but I am hoping I can at least do part of it.

It has been raining like crazy the past 3 days, and I have 9 chickens that don't know they are suppose to get out of the rain. They look like drowned rats with feathers..lol

OH OH OH! I have found the plans that I am going to use to make my chicken coop!! It's actually a green house but with a few modifications it will be perfect!


Mine will have a floor and actually be about a foot off the ground,  I am going to have the same material for the top, but the side panels I am going to put chicken wire then either removable panels along the side so I can make it more airy in the summer, but I can close it up for the winter. or panels that lift up and open to let air in.  
The very bottom half I am going to leave like that, but I will be using pallet boards instead of the tin. 

As for the run it will be attached to the front of it a little above the door is where it will connect and will come out about 10 feet and be as wide as the shed.

They will still be able to free range in the backyard, but this way I will feel more comfortable about leaving them out during the day when I am not home.

I have been walking the dogs in the evening and trying to walk them in the morning. Keeps them from peeing in the house and makes them not escape the minute I let them out into the back yard to potty.

Oh and on another note, the grandspawn started school yesterday! First day of pre-K. I took him today, didn't get a picture, but I have one his dad took yesterday.


That's the ODD and the grandspawn :)

Well I am out, I have to go start that deep cleaning........ugh maybe I'll just sweep instead, lol

ttyl!

1st Fill.. Eek

Well I just left the Dr's office after my first fill. It was interesting. 
I have lost 9 pounds from my last visit, so I'm down to 249 pounds.  Total weight loss from the Dr. 
is 29 pounds. 
Yeaaah!

I cant believe my starting weight was 278. OMG I feel different with just the 29 pounds lost. I have more energy, that's for sure!

I cant see it though, I mean everyone else says that they can see a difference, me? I cant tell. 
I think I am still seeing the fatgirl in the mirror instead of the one that is actually there. 

Nothing new is happening.. Oh the little chicks are now laying rather sporadically but laying. 
I am supposed to be getting my pallets tomorrow so I can start work on building my chicken house. 
Ugh I am not looking forward to that..lol Me actually BUILDING something and expecting it to stay up? hahahaha We will see. 

Anyways I am going to update all my tickers and gadgets with the new weight...

Deedle Deedle Deedle

I have been working for a freaking month now on a table that is going into my dining room. I say a month because it feels like it. I got the table about 3 months ago, and it sat under my carport FOREVER.  So I finally went and got the stuff to ''redo'' it.  I had to strip it and sand it before I even got to start on it.

All I have to do now is put the sealer on the top, and I am done with it!!


I did Chalk paint on the bottom, that I made on my own btw.. Go me!

Here is a better close up.


It's pretty cool and super easy to make. 5 tbs of plaster of Paris, 3 tablespoons of cool water, 2 cups of paint (non primer type) And I even made my own tinted wax too :) 


And here is the top :) 
I am so freaking proud of it! 

Now for tomorrow... I am ''redo-ing'' six chairs to match the table. I am going to have red accents and I am going to chalk paint them and destress them like the bottom of the table. 


and here is the chairs I am going to be doing.. I will post finished pictures tomorrow. 

In other news DH got himself a new/used truck! 


I have been using the BodyMedia thing for about 4 days now. I had to move it from my arm to my left calf. I know it says blah blah blah don't do it blah blah but I have been on so many forums and there are quite a few that wear it on their calf and get the same results as wearing it on their arms. 
I have been trying out that theory today and yep, bout the same. 

So I think I am going to start wearing it there. I'm sorry but until I lose enough weight on my left arm where its not uncomfortable and the band wont roll or I have the arm fat surgery, on the leg is where its going to go. 

Anyways I am going to bed! 

Lata taytas!

Gadgets, Apps and Scales ...OH MY!

Well I broke down and bought me the BodyMedia armband that they wear in The Biggest Loser.
And I am already having a problem, not with the BMF but with the size of it and the size of my massively fat arm.

Here I'll show you a picture and you can draw your own conclusion from that.....
Yep, fatgirl got a fat arm..with a fat roll. So needless to say its a little uncomfortable.
I messaged the facebook page and got a quick response. they said I needed a bigger arm band and I could of course purchase one from their store... sigh

I am going to get one of course, and also get a ''skin'' to go on it. 

So far I am liking it, but I'm keeping the verdict out for a while on it. 

Anyone else using any kind of gadgets, apps, or fancy scales or bluetooth tredmills? lol

I broke down and weighed in today just to see if there was a difference. Well from my last weigh in, about 3 weeks ago, I have gone from 258.0 to 255.0. So 3 pounds, but I'll take it!!
Better than gaining 3 pounds!


Well I guess its time to go let the chickens in and go for a walk, make this darn armband earn its money!!

OH I also took a new picture of me, tell me what you think.


Lata!

Sabotage, it's not just a Beastie Boys Song!


Well I guess I am going to go all deep with today's post.

It seems like I am sabotaging myself at every turn. I know I am supposed to log every bite that goes in my mouth, I know I am not suppose to eat; fried, fatty, high carb foods. I know I need to walk a least 10 minutes every day. I know all this.  And I do it, but then when I start seeing/feeling results, NS victories I being to sabotage myself. I run for the high carb, fatty fried chocolatey foods, I quit walking, I tell myself "I'll do it tomorrow" and instead I sit in my chair with my computer in my lap (like I am doing now) and dwell on it. It's almost as if I DONT want to lose weight.
I know myself well enough, I know I should probably go see a therapist/counselor/shrink because I know where the problem lies. I know what it is that is keeping me from doing what I need to do and stop sabotaging myself.

Hell I cant even say the reason out loud, I cant even write it down. But I know it.
It's one of those things you cannot repress, and just when you think you have it whipped, and you start feeling good about yourself, it shows right back up in your mind like a big ole mental zit.
The past 2 days, during the day I feel thinner (No, I am not going near the scale, that's a once a month thing) my clothing is loose, and my stomach pooch is flatter. Then that night, IDK something happens, its like a switch is flipped off, and all of a sudden I go right back to the way I wanted to eat before. I eat faster, and I want sweet things. It's like one part of my brain, the smart side just flips off, and the little kid side takes over. And its hard to beat that kid into submission.

I guess I am going to find a therapist somewhere in my area, I need to talk about my weight and why I sabotage it. Last time I went to a shrink they didn't want to talk about my issues, even thought I told him what it was I wanted to talk about. He said that was not the reason I was like I was and that the real issue was I had anger issues.. Ya think? Well dumbass where did those anger issues stem from? SMH. All he did was try hypnotherapy to make me lose weight and then put me on Prozac.
So I was a zombie who craved fried chicken and chocolate pie instead of brains. Yeah, that helped.
Everyone in the family loved it, they said I was so much calmer, but it did nothing for me mentally. It just gave me more time to dwell and more time to want to eat.
Ok enough of the depressing bullshit.

I have to brag on my Duckies, Lucy and Ethel. One layed me a HUGE duck egg!! It almost doesn't fit into the egg carton its so big!
And here is all the eggs I have got in 2 weeks time!!
I am off here, I have to feed the grandspawn and go get dog food, chicken food, and a nice electric fence for the dogs. 

Later!

Pish Posh

Nothing exciting today, took the YDD and her BF to Texas Road House for lunch, then went to Walmart and got the GrandSpawn his school supplies. Then back home to watch some movies.

We rented Evil Dead, I laughed my ass off. At one point I was yelling Avon Calling!!!

The GS came over and picked up his school supplies, he was super excited at the pencil box I bought him.

Now just chilling and watching TV. Tomorrow I am going to go work at the SnoCone stand for my MIL.
So I am off to bed.
Night!
