Just Weight - Week 3!

Week 3 has come and gone! This last week was Spring Break for my kids, and crazy :) for me. I know I over did a few days. Next week I will be weighing myself! So I guess I better not repeat this week of indulgence :) This journey, so far, has helped me see all the bad things I put in my body. As a result, I drink more water and make sure my food looks good :) I am still battling eating out of boredom and emotional eating, and I have BAD days. But all in all I think I am way more aware of what I am doing now. Like any weight loss journey, it takes time and next week we will see if any of this SEEing has helped my weight :) 

Head over to Just Weight and find out who's food is who's :)

Thank you all for being my support and keeping your eye on my diet :)

Just Weight - Week 2!

Welcome to week 2 of our crazy journey!Another crazy week has passed, and so has more food :)

We have added a few new people to our group! Which is super awesome, some don't have pictures up yet, and others are still getting the hang of taking ALL those pictures :) 

Next week could be scary, it's the dreaded Spring Break for my kids and that could mean more stress and more eating :/ Let's hope that I can keep them and myself busy enough. We have tons of activities planned along with some crafts and a few kid-friendly recipes :) If you keep checking back, I will be posting all the stuff we are doing this next week!

Week 2

Visit Just Weight to find out which food belongs to who :)

Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mama, mama, mama, mommy, mommy, mommy....MOMMY!

Why is it that, no matter how many times you say "Yes", "What", "No" or anything else in response to the "mom, mom, mom...etc" ramblings, you only get more "mom"s? My youngest is the phase of repeating one word a thousand times in a second. "Mom" happens to be the most popular word :) As flattered as I am, to have so many people love me and want me, I am sooooo tired of hearing the word, even my husband calls me "Mom" seventy-five percent of the time!

I was reminded today, when picking up my daughter from MMO (Mommy's Morning Out), that next week is spring break for my kids school :( I love my kids and I love them going to school :) So this week I will be trying to cram as much productivity into my schedule as I can. And part of that productivity, will be finding things for my kids to do during the week off. Crafts, coloring, park-going , cooking, etc.. However, even with all the planning and activities, I know they will end up driving me nuts.  But I will be posting about all the things we do and make :) And I also will be taking suggestions for things for us to do. Any crafts, recipes or games are welcomed :)

This week, St. Patrick's Day is Thursday! I know, you probably already knew that :) But I bet you didn't know that my other blog, Lori's Recipe Finds, will be featuring ALL St. Patty's recipes! If you would like one of yours, or know of a really good one, featured, share it with me and I will get it posted this week :)



And, as always, check out Just Weight. The first week of photos are up on the site. You can also join us in the journey at anytime! You don't have to start on a Sunday and it's ok if you miss a few pics here and there :)

    

Launch of Just Weight

Finally here! Tonight is the first posting of pictures of food, a whole week's worth! We currently have 8 of us signed up, however, not all of us started this week. We did have "Saucey Soy" (me), "Willow", & "Sassy Momma" that did contribute their week's food. This is the first week, so we did forget a few pictures here & there, but bare with us and we will get better at remembering :) 

If this is the first time you are reading of this strange journey, please check out the details over at the Just Weight site, or click on the Just Weight tab at the top of my blog.

Just Weight!

So excited to get this started! I have three of us on board so far, to start this unusual journey of weight loss and self awareness. And is any of you would like to join us, please email me at <justweight4me@gmail.com>

Here is all the juicy details:

This program is for the faint hearted, the NON-calorie, carb and fat counters, and the "oops I forgot to stop at the gym....again" folks. There are a lot of us out there. And as much as I would love to say that I enjoy working out and find time, I can't. Or that I ALWAYS eat the healthiest foods and can just say no to more helpings of pizza, even when I am feeling low, I can't. But, as I giggle, I have a feeling of hope for my plump butt and slightly over hanging tummy. I have had tons of (skinny) people and doctors tell me to "just watch what you eat", as if it was that easy. Well, my idea is to take that bit of advice and apply it in a literal sense. Starting March 14th, 2011, I (and anyone who wants to join) will be taking snap shots of EVERYTHING I eat. From a handful of candy to full meals, it will be pictured and blogged. My hope in this process, I will SEE all the things I eat, especially the things that I don't even really know that I put in my mouth. Not only will I be able to see the quantity and quality of my intake, but I will have to stop and take pictures of it, causing me to either take multiple pics of more helpings or not take any more. I am also self conscious  and knowing that hundreds (or more) of my readers will see my bad eating habits and thus I will think twice before eating those "snacks". My journey will continue on until I succeed in "watching" what I eat and become a healthier me. I will also be logging beverages, and any exercise that I can get in, my weight through the process will also be logged. I am excited to begin my journey and hope you will be here to support me and maybe join in the fun.

If you would like more info on how we will be logging our journey, please email me at <justweight4me@gmail.com>. My accomplices in this will be given a "code" name and the privilege of deciding what they would like blogged about them, with the exception of the food pics, ALL of those have to be blogged. My blogger friends have the choice of either blogging their story on their blog OR mine OR both.

My week will be Sunday-Saturday, food pictures will be blogged every Sunday morning. So keep checking back and follow my progress (or lack of, lol) I also have a Facebook Fan page for you to follow along.
