Random Thoughts

I am getting longer on my plank position everyday and am about 30 seconds from hitting the 200 second mark.  When I stared I was around 132 and this was only a couple weeks ago when I star

I make myself stay in position even if I want to stoop because it has to hurt a little every time in order to work to its maximum results.

Sometimes I have to sing a song or steer my mind to thinking about something else to be able to stay there but I force myself and feel awesome after I am done.  It is an awesome feeling to do just a handful of second more everyday.  It is very gratifying and my results are showing both physically and mentally.  Just one more goal I am setting and making and this “does a body good!”

All measurements in inches

Nov. 2009                                                October 2010                  Loss/Gain
Bust: 44                                                     42                                   L-2
Under bust:                                                36 3/4                             N/A

Waist: 48                                                   41 1/2                             L-6 1/2
Around where C-section scare is:               43                                   N/A
Hips: 49                                                     45                                   L-4
Thigh (one): 28                                           25                                   L- 3
Upper arm: 13                                            12                                   L-1

The reason there are N/A is that I did not do those measurements from the beginning so I can’t give an accurate loss on those.  I have lost a bit but did not start measuring til recently. 

My TOTAL LOSS since I started this journey = 16 1/2 inches!

I am proud of this!

Remember I am doing this without any supplements or going to the gym.  Slow weight loss = permanent weight loss.  I am changing my bad behaviors for good ones.  The longer it takes then the longer I am in a good habit and will keep this change permanent.

A couple weeks ago my Aunt and Uncle were here and we all took a walk to the grocery to get something for dinner and I needed bathroom cleaner.  The store just happened to not carry my bathroom cleaner anymore, which really upset me, so I asked my relatives what they used.  They told me to get Mr. Clean’s magic eraser bath scrubber.  I have used the magic eraser before but not the bath scrubber so i figured “can’t hurt and it’s not terribly expensive.”

I LOVE IT!  It was fast, easy and my bathroom is shiny clean.

You simply wet, squeeze and wipe (as the box says).  It is quick and easy and really shined up the chrome in the bathroom.  Here are some shiny pic’s

Well I have about 6 diapers left and enough meet to make 2 more dinners (if I go without lunch for me).  So I can’t go without eating and I have to change diapers so my intention this week is changing the universe to help me find diapers and groceries to last until Friday, which is payday.

I am not gong to stress and I am eating and changing diapers like I have enough to last the week, period!

Will keep you posted. 

Today is a good day because I get to be at home with my two wonderful kids and watch them grow everyday!  I am grateful for this opportunity.

Alassandra thanks for your comment a couple posts back because duh, you reminded me of my whole quest here.  Imagine my boy sleeping.  See what no sleep does to you, it makes you forget your goals sometimes.

This is why I have followeres, I learn from everyone in my life!

The second night of my quest to get my baby’s non-sleeping habit broken I decided to practice what I am preaching and it did help.

I picked him up for bed, kissed his little cheek about 10 times.  I told him how much I love him and said, while I looked into his cute little face, “you will sleep all night tonight.”

It has been 4 nights of sleep and I am not kidding!  It feels so good!  Just another reason to work for this law of attraction 100% of the time!

I feel so much better!

Wow, I have had like 4 nights of good sleep and am not sure what to do with myself.

I really only had to put my son in the play pen one night and the next night he slept in his crib.  I really am so happy.  the second night I figured I would start him in his crib and then move him to the play pen when he woke up, but he did not wake up til 7:30am!  So far so good and he is in his crib.  Now I get my dining room/living room back with no crowded play pen.

It is amazing how good you feel after you get sleep isn’t it?

I have been posting a lot about Joe Vitale’s missing secret CD’s and on these CD’s he talks about his 5 steps to the missing secret. 

The first step is the easy one for me and that is “what you are complaining about.”  He says that complaining is good because this means you are aware of what you don’t want and what you do want.  This is the “spring board step” to where you want to go.

The key is getting away from just complaining so you can move onto the next step which is stating your intentions.  he says that this step allows you to “move the universe as well as yourself.”

I am kind of in the middle of these two steps right now.  I am trying to complain less and state more and more intentions.  I will go into the other steps in the near future but this is a good start.

It is OK to complain but then the complaints need to turn into action. If you don’t like it change it.  The hardest thing for me and I know for some others as well is to get over the “victim” feeling and face the problem head on and get yourself out of “victim” mode.

Obviously Joe goes into a lot more detail on his CD’s and if this is something you think you may be serious about remember to watch the documentary first (go to the library and get it for free) and then get the CD’s.  it really will help.

More later!

The other day I posted about going to bed hungry but last night I was starving and there was no good reason for me to be so stinking hungry.  I did not give in, well I had a handful of grapes, but I wanted popcorn so bad but resisted.  The thing is that it was not real late either only 9pm when I got real hungry.

it was one of those times that I could not stop thinking about it.  I even turned on the biggest loser and worked out a bit during it to see if  could distract myself but after 20 minutes I was still so hungry I just sat there and fought the urge and finally went to bed about 11pm.  But…I did not eat!  I really wanted to eat and woke up starving still!

it was a hard night for me.  I think the weeding made me extra hungry as I at a little more than usual for dinner, not too much, but more then usual.  So this is a good thing!

It has only been a few days since my son has gone off the bottle for good.  It was an all or nothing kind of deal.  Thought I had him on a sippy cup and he has been screaming his head off for days as he does not want to lean his head back far enough to drink out of it, or rather expend the energy to lift the cup up with the head.

The other day I was wondering why he was so quiet and I could hear someone “gulping” around the corner and thought “cool” he is finally doing it.  Well…not really…he had found my daughters cup with a straw in in and downed the whole thing. 

Well let’s just say that he will only drink out of a straw cup and not a sippy cup.  It is a whole lot easier for him with the straw because his little lazy but does not have to lift the cup!  Oh boy am I in trouble with him right?  He is so stinking cute but he is a lazy little boy sometimes.

Anyways, so not my daughter who is 4 and my 13 month old are drinking out of the same cups.  Oh well, it least the straw cups are better for his teeth anyway so on the bright side that is good.

Love you little buddy!!
