Woah! Did you see that? That was one fat hummingbird!!

I have felt like a hummingbird lately. Flitting from here to there. From there to ... where? EVERYWHERE! Like I mentioned in my last post, I'm working in the home outta the home and going to ZUMBA! and The gym.

Lately I haven't felt like I was getting anywhere... again... so I decided I needed to kick it up a notch! I've decided to get anywhere I need to go full speed even though I'm already doing so much. Every night afterwork I'm gonna go to the gym and give it my all. The kids will already be in bed so they won't miss me much more than they all ready do.

David may or may not suffer a bit though... I think he'll be ok. Time to himself, he won't have to leave house (his favorite) and in a few months I'll be skinny... I hope...

Tonight I went to ZUMBA! Which again I must say I totally adore. If anyone wants any info about it, let me know. While there I dripping in sweat! Yay, doesn't sweat mean you were actually working hard? But seriously, Leave a cold Pepsi bottle out in the sun... And thats me! Dripping on the outside and full of sugar on the inside!

It was about that time I thought, "you know, I'm kind of getting addicted to sweating and the energy burst I get from doing this thing called exercising." So I packed up and went straight to the gym. Lifted some weights, realized I am super weak and need to do that way more often. I used a cardio machine and made more body condensation, took a stationary bike ride to Facebook land, Sat up and laid down on a big bouncy ball 60 times stretched out from the night and called it quits!

Got home got some old clothes out. Size 16 jeans perfect fit. A tank and short night set... fits me waaay better than it did when I bought it! So that was a pretty rocking. It was also a nice confidence boost!

Here it is now 1 am and I'm still wide awake. That's what happens when I go to the gym at night... but I suppose that is one small price to pay for the body of a goddess. It's a good thing the price is so low... my credit sucks!

Well sweet dreams, and don't eat the cotton candy... they're sheep.

Purging the house... including the fat coat... still...

Well hello followers. It has been awhile huh? Doctors have a tendency to look down on you if you're pregnant and actively trying loosing weight. But, here I am, one kid more and realizing how insane it is have "3 under 3" and a house full of stuff. I've been purging a lot of duplicate things or things we will never use. Less for the twoddlers to get into and destroy.

But you didn't come here for that! You came here to listen to me talk about my fat coat. Which by the way I'm trying to purge but having a hell of a time doing. I call it my fat coat because of the way it makes me feel. You know those big long tundra down filled coats? Well that's what my fat makes me feel like, there fore the term fat coat was born.

Currently I am going to the gym, whenever I can squeeze it into my crazy schedule, I am also shaking my goods twice a week at my ZUMBA class! I am working nights/weekends part time, and sharing the Scentsy experience, so with caring for the zoo here at home, that doesn't leave too much time for exercise! I definitely couldn't do what I'm doing without my darling Hubs. Point being, the weight loss, despite eating well, is going very, very, VERY slow...

Oddly, I feel more accomplished and sexier... I'm thinking that this pregnancy had some great effects on my horomones... so here's hoping that it also effects my PCOS in a positive way... like making my PCOS symptoms completely disappear!

It's good to be back. Keep an eye out for updates on me donated my fat coat to someone who really needs it!

The prego diet!

Yup. That's right, I'm pregnant with baby number 3. And let's just say so far it has not been a picnic! Loving two toddlers and a puppy is surely enough for any expectant, but then add a sad and costly mistakeby a nurse. What a week. I was told to quit my meds immediately since meds aren't safe during my first trimester. It seems that she didn't know the repercussions of stopping a SSRI cold turkey. In my situation this could of caused Sarotonin Syndrome! Google that one!

So needeless to say, I haven't been myself and haven't been able to make it to the gym. This really bums me out. I know it's Wednesday already, but I'm really hoping to get back there THIS WEEK! I just have no motivation... BOO! Here's to getting my butt back in gear.

I'm thinking about going again tonight so I can get a legitimate workout in. But it's my tv night.... sigh.... decisions decisions. Oddly enough I almost don't care that it's tv night....

YES I am gonna go tonight. TV be damned! I feel soooo much better after visiting the gym! OK well off to color with my girl. :-)

Toro! Toro!

Let's just say I'm egging it on!!!!

Up is down and Down is up... CRAAAAAAP!

I think I'm getting my memo's completely screwed up here. I started at 218 and I am heading in the direction of 137. However I think I got on the fast track going through the scenic route.... I am now 221!!!!! What the deuce???

That's all I have to say right now..... completely discouraged.

Eh? What'd ya say? I can't hear ya, my hip hurts.

UGHA!!!!! Uber frustration! So I've been on the Metformin for about a month and low and behold had horrible, horrible side effects. I had horrible pain! I constantly felt as though I was getting or having my period for 2 months straight, and I know you women know what I mean. Sometime it felt as though I was actually having contractions it was so bad. A couple of times I thought I was going to have to go to the doctors because I was either having an etopic pregnancy or a miscarriage. :-( My hip hurt so bad I thought it was my sciatica hurting me. It got to the point that while on vacation I could hardly move.

So since I was mad and frustrated about gaining more weight and thinking that it was my weight causing me so much pain I decided to just say forget the drugs. I would just starve myself and exercise. ... so three days after stoping the Metformin all my pain and suffering went away. Again I say UGHA!!!! 

So I'm mad, I'm frustrated and damn it I'm gonna loose this fat. I can't take it anymore. I seriously am self conscious though. I feel like people are going to look at me and say things like "Ew that fat girl's fat is jiggling." Silly I know. So instead I have decided to jog with the Wii Fit and work out on Time Warner Cables Channel 1067, there work out routines on demand. I will loose this weight. Even if it kills me doing it!
