1st post-info about me, my family, and all that good crap

Hi!

I'm Laura, and I'm a loser. But the good kinda loser. The kind that like...loses stuff. Well, I lose weight, I lose other stuff too (socks, keys, important papers, that kinda thing) as well but that is not what this blog is about.

Im 26. I have been married to Chris (or big c as he will be known as from now on) for the past 7 years. We have two boys, Caleb (hear by known as little c) who is almost 4, and Eli (hear by known as little e) who is 1.

Chris is a dork, lol. He fixes video games for a living, and loves it. I could not ask for a better husband or father for my kids. Plus he is hot.

Caleb is insane, and gets on my last nerve almost everyday. But then he says something, or does something so amazingly cute that I forget all about the bad stuff. He is pretty normal. He loves mickey, and blues clues. And food. That child can eat ALL day. BUT (just like his daddy) he is skinny as a bean pole.

Eli is allergic (like fall over dead allergic) to dairy, soy, eggs, and red meat. He is also allergic to green peas, peanuts, and tree nuts. He is pure happy-ness all day, everyday. He loves food also, but the fact that many kinds of food can kill him makes that love of food hard to deal with.


And.....then there is me. I'm 242. I have never been this heavy before in my life. Why am I this heavy? Well, I would like to blame it on my family history ( my mom and dad are both heavy, my dad more so) But, when it really comes down to it, it is all because I have no will power what so ever.

When I am stressed, or sad, or worried, or bored, I eat. Will eating make me feel better? NO. And I know this. But I do anyways. It is not till AFTER I am stuffed that I think about that fact.

I know I can do this, if I really just hunker down and DO IT. I have a hbac, and I walked a 10k (both things I never thought I would every do) so I know I can do this. But ice cream is OH so tempting. Oh phish food, how you call to me......


Anyways.....

To the point....

Anyone still reading? Alright, here we go.

I am doing a 30 day challenge with the wonderful ladies on the cuties with cloth booties board over on cafemom.


I was doing Weight Watchers. Then I decided to go back to school to get my high school diploma and that is taking up my WW money. Sooooo......

Do I do weight watchers at home?

Or do I start following spark people.

I have to admit, I love WW, but it is way to easy to cheat.

But spark people is awesome.

So, I think, for now, I will do both.

I track my WW stuff on paper, and the spark people online.

As for exercise, I have finally gotten a treadmill!!!!

A wonderful woman on craigslist gave me her treadmill. It is sitting behind me, in the dinning room, as I type.

Hopefully I will be able to walk/jog for at least 20 mins 3 times a week. I am trying to do that couch to 5k thing, because I SO want to run the mud run in may. I am hopeful for more, but seeing as how both the kids think it is great fun, it is not safe unless they are both in bed.


Ok, this post is WAY too long, and WAY to much info. So yeah. On to tomorrow.....
