Sorry about missing yesterday but I was very sick. Needless to say I had no problem with eating things I shouldn't.. well eating anything period. But I am up and moving today, did try and use the dumbells but not for long.
Tomorrow I hope to be back to my routine and work out regiment. Then Monday I start back to school, joy. Long story short, I thought I was done but I have to take some extra classes so I have 2 more semesters.
As fot my weight and picture, I haven't had a chance to put it on here yet. I am waiting for my husband to get home to take the picture, I would like to have an up to date one as possible to go along with this. Then I will take one every week, (hopefully on the same day of the week) and I can keep track of my progress.
Wish me luck....

Day #2.....
Ok, today started like any other day except for the fact that I was up all night. We went to eat dinner at a Mexican place in town and I was really proud of myself. When the waitress brought that dreaded basket of chips and salsa bottle to the table I asked her to please take them away, then I ordered water to drink and hat their grilled chicken. The only bad thing I had was about a 1/2 cup of rice. But I paid for it last night, I was up all night nauseous and stomach hurting when I moved. Finally about 7am this morning I gave up and came to the living room.
So needless to say my day #2 has not started out very well. I have not exercised today but I have watched what I have eaten... watched it go right to my mouth. But you know what, I am not going to beat myself up for it. Its going to happen so glad it happened this early and not later on.
Also, it snowed last night, the first snow of the season. So today I cleaned house, did laundry, put on a large pot of chili and then I curled up on the couch with my blanket and played that addicting cafe world on face book, lol
I have drank my allotted amount of water today and had 1 bowl of chili with about 6 crackers. Maybe I will go walking in the snow tomorrow, if anything it would definitely make me want to hurry my work out so I could get out of the freaking cold...lol

Day # 1, Where to begin....
The title says it all... When someone decides to do something, whether its losing weight or starting a blog, you always have to have a beginning; and most of the time, you have no idea where to start. So lets just start by saying "What am I going to do?"
Last night I sat and watched "The Biggest Loser" premier like I am sure millions of people did, and like half of those millions of people I sat and wished I could be there and have the chance that those lucky people did..... HA, I have that chance I just choose not to. I always make up excuses to why I don't want to exercise that day, or I think to myself.."I can eat that piece of pizza and make up for it tomorrow". I can tell you now it AIN'T going to happen...
This past year I have gained back almost 80lbs of weight that I worked really hard to lose. In October of 2008, my brother in law was diagnosed with cancer, he fought for over a year to win this battle and our entire family fought along beside him as much as we could. Traveling back and forth to Nashville, hospital trips every day here, running to therapy sessions and basically spending time with him. During this time frame, I also lost my mother to a stroke. She went into the hospital after Easter and was doing ok, then at 4am the hospital called and said she was moved to the ICU, within the 20 minutes it took me to jump out of bed and race to the hospital she died. Then in October, my brother in law passed away quietly at is home surrounded by his loving wife and 2 daughters, who had supported and loved him so much. Granted, I have been through allot this year and losing these 2 people, who were very important to me and whom I loved very much, was excruciatingly hard. I used this as an excuse to not care whether I exercised or what I ate.
So now I find my first step... this is where I begin. I joined the pound for pound at ww.biggestloser.com and vowed to lose 50lbs. I would have put more down but 50lbs was the highest they would allow.
So here I am, posting my weight, photo and my goal. I will have mini goals along the way. I'm sure I will screw up once or twice (I wouldn't be human if I didn't) but I am going to try my hardest to be healthier and more fit by 2011. Join me if you want, leave comments or just see how I am coming along... the more the merrier...lol
