I have continued to lose even though we are in the troughs of the holiday season. Last week I had to attend to some family business and forgot to do my post. Sorry ladies. I lost 1.5 pounds this week. I lost a pound. I am ok with that.
This week has been stressful. Last week was stressful. I didn't get my workouts in while i could have. I was stressed. This week we got in the shred this morning. I am sore. I moved up to level two now that I have my MS meds straight end out.
For those that Don't know I have remitting relapsing Multiple Sclerosis was diagnosed the day before my dad passed. I was having some major symptoms over the last few weeks with major tremors and Fatigue. I am glad the med adjustments are helping. I have an MRI wednesday to see what exactly is going on. We are hopeful.
The doctors are having me take it a bit easier and have me changing my cloric intake around.
I am happy to be feeling better =)
So my goals are the same to keep movin and eat healthy.

I have been weighing in with the doctor on Mondays the last two weeks. I am so glad to see I am almost out of the 200. I weighed in a 207.5 and according to the doctor that is 14.5 pounds in two weeks. I have been using Jillian Michael's Quick Start. Love it.I should be adding in I am with the doctor for supervising of my MS and Vitamin deficiency. So I have been going by her scale.i am so embarressed to be publishing these photos.
I am loving the encouragement of all the woman. Our mamavation mamas are doing fantastic. I think if Leah does this again I might just enter. I see their success and I want that too.

An Introduction to My Journey
So I will start at the beginning so you know about the journey I have had before joining Mamavation.
In 2007 I had some pretty major stuff going on. I was still coping with the loss of never being able to have children again. I had to have a hysterectomy. My marriage was falling apart. I felt frumpy, unattractive, like a whale. In all honesty I was that whale. I had in 7 years taken my 125 pounds and ate myself to 350 pounds.
January 1 I never make resolutions. That year for whatever reason I did. I haven't looked back since. I called the 4th and made my first appointment with Dr. Darren Tishler. I love this man more than anyone can know. He gave me my life back. I went through all kinds of testing and proving I was worthy of Lap band. It was the hardest time of my life but I was fighting to get me back. I was sick. I had diabetes,high blood pressure. I was also able to get a true accurate diagnosis of my remitting and relapsing ms.
In six months of this surgery I was off my meds for high blood pressure and diabetes. I felt great. I was loving my new life. I still am. I had lost 160 pounds. I gained 16 back from stress and not caring. I am so angry with myself for that.
So I got back out my Jillian Michael's wii game and will be getting my eas active thanks to the mamavation twitter party. I am so excited and so thankful for that. Now to wear my husband down on the shoes by earth footwear. Insert evil grin here.
So that is my journey this far.
What our menu for the week is
Breakfast I do a protein shake
am snack is usually some cheese and a fruit
lunch is a salad of some sort
Our dinners will be
Monday pineapple teriyaki pork chops with couscous
Tuesday We will be at chic fil a for the class party so I will be having the char grilled chicken and fruit salad with the reduced fat berry balsamic vinaigrette dressing
wed roasted tailapia with fire roasted tomatoes and olives served with green beans and a Cesar salad
Thursday grilled turkey cutlets with salsa (though ours will be cooked stove top) we have no grill served wtih a fruit salad
Friday stuffed cabbage strata so filling we just have this
sat losers fish tacos and rosemary baked sweet tater fries
sun bbq bacon meat loaf i do this in muffin tins and the kids love it. we serve this with salad, fresh carrots my kids hate them cooked, whole grain rice
other snacks we have Incorporated for dessert and after lunch is trail corn munch, Texas caviar, edamammus,fiesta turkey mini tostadas
exercise plan we walk daily as a family to help kids burn energy. While they are at school I do my wii cardio with Jillian Michaels. I am searching for her shred. The target here doesn't carry it.
