Scale Confusion???????

I'm putting it all out here now............


The only scale in our house is in the girls bathroom-it's not digital.....but it's always been fairly accurate.....(stephen is my "tester" and can account for this)


I have always weighed (on this scale) about 187.....pretty consistent, give or take a few lbs......

As i have posted before, i have started "trying to get serious" about losing weight. I have started Yoga Booty Ballet......started on Friday, played basketball Sat, rested on Sun, video on Mon, video on Tues, nothing yesterday (absolutely no time).....i have ordered water when we go out to eat......i have the occasional Diet Dr. Pepper & milk....that's it......i've been watching what i've eaten......but haven't changed much there.....except maybe more veggies than normal.....haven't started Alli quite yet, want to make sure i KNOW what i'm eating FIRST.....so i don't have any (ahem) accidents.......

I wake up this morning......curious.......weigh myself and the scale says.................................


170...............clearly i'm reading it wrong-or it's wrong or something................
so, i call Ashton in to witness what i'm seeing and i step on the scale again......................................

170



How can this be? I can't tell anything in my clothes whatsoever............Stephen said there is no way that is right, so i tell him to get on the scales......it is accurate with his weight.......


so now, i'm confused. i don't know whether to be happy or not.....b/c if i've really lost about 15 lbs (over the course of about a month) wouldn't i be able to tell SOMEWHERE!?!??!?!??!?

******TWILIGHT*******

Yes, the movie.

Edward & Bella.

I am sooooo not into movies like this........at least, that's what i thought.

I had no interest whatsoever in this movie, but, Ashton saw it @ her cousin's house over the weekend & told me to rent it & watch it.

I did.

I think Twilight is one of the best movies i have ever seen in my life......I didn't want it to be over!!!

The story of love.........the way it was portrayed..........was amazing. It left me speechless.

At first, I thought Edward wasn't cute @ all & couldn't figure out all the hype about him.....but as i sat and watched this movie......and how he truly, madly, deeply loved Bella with his entire being.......the things he said to her.........the way he treated her..............the mystery of him.........made him all the more intriging.......amazing.......and very hot!

If you know me......you know that i am not at all a person of romance, but this movie left me.......i don't know............wanting that passion, wanting that romance......that chemistry with Stephen, like we once had.......i had forgotten how intense............how you can love someone so much..........with your entire being.............

THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Definitely buying it!!! And now, i'm on a hunt for the books........

I AM HOOKED ON TWILIGHT!!!! (never in a million years would i think i would say that) lol

March Madness......and I mean MADNESS!!!!!!!!! lol

Saturday night @ "The OC" (Oakcrest Baptist Church) we had our 2nd annual "March Madness-OC Style"......it's a lot like Powderpuff....except basketball.....we do it as a fundraiser for the youth. It is an absolute blast & so funny to see which guys are going to "bold enough" to dress as women & to see what they look like once they are dressed up.....it's a good laugh-that's for sure. Then, us girls play basketball & our "women" cheer us on.....

This year, I sooooooo wanted Stephen to dress up-he is such a "manly-man" lol, that it was like pulling teeth.........he hated it & gave me a fit to the end, but I think he had fun, now that's it's all said & done......I painted his nails, bought him a cute dress from the Nearly New Shop, a feather boa, he wore Kylie's Hannah Montana wig....and of course, i did his make-up......I bought his black sandal wedged heel shoes from Goodwill-they are totally cute.....but i have no idea what woman actually wears a size 11W!!!!!!!! o.m.g!!!!!!!!! He tells me he's not doing it again.....but he just looks so cute, dont you think? teehee

Then, of course, there was my dad.......he dressed up last year.....he gets all into it....he doesn't care-he just loves to have fun & laugh..........he had to get a different outfit this year, 'cause he "....just couldn't wear the same thing he wore last year...." lol {BTW: he's the guy in the middle on the top pic}

And us girls? Well, we beat the Youth girls by 2 points.....we had to go into overtime...........WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! GO OC!!!!!!!!!!!

It's for Real this time......(@ least i'm pretty sure it is....)

So, i "won" the entire Yoga Booty ballet set on Ebay for $15!!!! Which i thought was a steal!!! I started my first work-out on Friday....absolutely loved it....it was Yoga....which is kinda' weird @ times....(I don't repeat all the weird "new-agey" stuff they say....but the stretching,etc...is wonderful! :) Saturday i was supposed to do the Cardio Caberet dance video, but i was so busy-i had no time, although i did get in 30 minutes straight of cardio-'cause we had March Madness at church (kinda' like Powderpuff) and i played basketball....and talk about sweating?!?!?! omg!!!!! (so i think i made up for my missed video) Sunday, of course is a "day of rest"...so i did nothing.....and didn't feel a bit guilty.....although i could barely walk from being so sore...... :) no heels to church that day! lol
SO, i plan to start back today with my next dvd in line....not sure what that will be, but probably some sort of yoga.......

I have also purchased Alli.....i havent started taking it yet, b/c i want to try to start eating "better" first....which i have been making EXCELLENT decisions on my food/drink choices lately....milk or water is what i've been drinking-even when we go out to eat...i drink water....HUGE for me.....I just started getting daily emails from Alli, it helps you with your food choices.....etc....'cause some of the side effects....ummmm....let's just say, it's possible that i may need an extra pair of clothes with me at all times if i'm not eating like i should be....lol

My first goal is to lose 9 lbs......i bought a dress last spring-it's beautiful.....and i really want to wear it for Easter......so, that's my first goal......

Hopefully this time, i will stick with this.....it's easy......fun......and my girls can do the DVD's with me!!!!!

So, I will keep you posted........

~~~~Questions Without Answers ~~~~~~

How is it that my hours @ work have been cut, yet, i don't seem to have anymore time to do anything?????????

Why can I not stick to losing my weight?? I am sooo {puke} over the whole issue....Where is my motivation?????

Why does my child have to talk SOOOO LOUDLY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

Why does my husband have to be SO HYPER?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

What's up with snow 2 weeks ago? Beach weather last week? and cold & rainy this week? MAKE YOUR FREAKING MIND UP!!!!!!!!!!

And finally.......................can you tell I'm PMS'ing????? :)

Montessori no more......

After the pay cut/day cut at work......and after budgeting for the month of March......we have realized that Montessori for Kylie wasn't going to be able to work out. It's so sad.....i love her school, her teacher, their methods.....it was the perfect place.....

We would have done anything we possibly could to keep her there-if it's what she wanted....but, after talking to her about it, her response was...."I'm kinda' tired of going there-i'm bored, b/c all they want me to do is learn." lol (I'm taking that as our sign from God)

So, now, i have to make that call....to let them know.....it hurts my heart....b/c i loved it so much....but......i guess for now, this will have to do.

Now, i'm going to have to figure out if babysitting arrangements for her on the days/times that i am at work......but until then....i'm really enjoying her sitting behind me.....playing her Polly Pockets at the desk behind me......and soaking up every ounce of "little girl" that i can....b/c she won't be this way forever.....
