2008/1/7 1/07 This is Adam talkingSo I finally get to put my thoughts down here. I worked all weekend and I am really tired today. Mondays are very hard. I resisted temptations all weekend and am very proud of myself. In the words of my wife...go me, go me, it's my birthday. My wife is a great inspiration and I could not have done it without the thought of her and her dedication to this and to me. She really did deserve the sleep she got today with what she went through with the girls this wekend. I hope I can help her realize how wonderful she is and how to stop being so hard on herself. She will get into the swing of things and when she does nothing can stop her. She lost 75 lbs. right before she got pregnant with our daughter and she only stopped because she was pregnant.
We bought a scale a few days ago...the first scale we've owned in years...and I finally weighed myself for the first time in months. I weigh less than we thought so I am really happy about that. The only thing I hate about the scale is that Dawn likes to weigh herself daily and even though she knows that it can be discouraging to do that she can't seem to stop. I want to hide it, but I know she would get upset with me.
Tonights dinner was really good. Dawn decided to chop up a bag of mixed veggies and add them to 90% lean ground beef and make hamburgers. We were having trouble getting our veggies in because she doesn't really like veggies except salad, raw carrots, green beans, and cabbage. This helped alot and we plan on doing this again with other foods.
Well we're going to play Wii now. 1/07 Strange DreamSo, I finally crashed from all the missed sleep over the past couple of days with my sick girls. About 12:30 this afternoon I fell asleep and my husband could not get me up until 4pm. I was sooooo upset! I can't believe I slept so long. Adam said he tried to wake me for almost 2 hours and I would not budge, he was starting to get worried about me.
Well during my "NAP" I had the craziest dream. It started out that I was a contestant on the biggest loser, but the whole thing was a little different.
Then, because of my husbands yelling and poking me, I woke up. I think I cried for almost an hour. I am really disappointed in myself. I have to get moving, I have to find the motivation within myself, I have to stop making excuses and start changing my habits. My metabolism is probably so low from missing meals and not getting in my exercise. I have to get refocusesd and make my mind and body as ready as I am to get this done. We are We are We are 2008/1/6 1/06 Todays trip to the hospital My poor little baby girls had to go to the ER today. They were so sick they were not eating and drinking properly and I was just so worried I had to get them looked at. My little Jayden has an upper respitory infection and Hailey has an upper respitory infection as well as an inner ear infection. Through all of this I have made sure that I have continued to follow my diet plan even though it would have been extremely easy to get a burger for dinner on the way home. I am so proud of myself. I am also resisting temptation right now. My parents are here helping me out with the kids and they are eating DONUTS (gasp
 ) and I am not even going near them. (Go me, go me, it's my birthday!!) Again it is just finding the time to get in some sort of exercise. I am going to make a pledge right now that I will do cardio tomorrow no matter what. My husband will be home and hopefully he will join me. I will probably play some more Olympic games on Wii in a little while, that will at least count for something. Adam is still at work, I hope he is doing okay. I know it has been hard for him being at work 16 hours a day for the last 2 days, but I know he can do it. We are going to do this no matter what. Our kids are counting on us and I have let them for the last time!!!!!! They deserve happy, healthy, energetic, fun parents and that is what we will be!!
1/05 Thank you !
I just wanted to thank the other couples who have posted words of encouragement on here for us. You never realize how powerful people going through what you are can be at helping you. After reading the posts my mood was a lot better and it was a lot easier to make the right choices today. Exercising is still difficult with the pain in my back and leg but I have done what I was able to. I played Wii with my son and daughter while the baby was sleeping and believe me it was quite a workout. I was sweating after the Olympic game we played. Now if I could just fix this sleeping problem I am having. I can't sleep t night and I can't wake up in the morning. I am sure the healthier my body becomes my life will begin to follow and vice versa. I have been seeing someone to help with the life issues as well, so hopefully everything just begins to fall into place and this starts to become a little easier. Adam has been doing well also. He has told me about numerous situations at work that has tempted him and he has resisted. The dorm he runs won some sort of prize and they brought in a whole big breakfast filled with pancakes, sausage, eggs, bacon, waffles, bagels, everything you can possibly think of and he ate his little breakfast burrito I made him. I am so proud of him, it must have been hard. Come Monday things will be a lot easier for both of us and we will make sure we are better prepared for next weekend and all the weekends that follow. Well, until tomorrow.... 2008/1/4 1/04 Getting motivated to exerciseKind of feeling like this right now and it's only been 2 days
 Today has gone pretty well except I can not get myself motivated enough to do some sort of exercise. It is also really hard with my 3 little ones needing constant attention and the fact that my sciatica is really bad. Reading that last sentence makes me feel like I am just trying to make as many excuses as possible. I don't know what to do. I am already feeling like I am losing the battle and I just started. On top of all of this the girls are sick and extremely grumpy making it hard to keep up with everything, especially eating. I haven't even gotten half of my calories down and the calories I have eaten haven't been the best. I am still praying I can do this and I am hoping I can find support and motivation somewhere.
Adam works on the weekends (8 hrs. Fri., 16 hrs. Sat., and 16 hrs. Sun.) so it is really tough right now. It will probably be hard for him as well having to make sure he has meals and snacks for the entire day ready to take with him. Well, Jayden is screaming and Hailey is crying so I guess I am off for now. Until tomorrow... 2008/1/3 1/03 Just hoping today goes as well as yesterday I am just finishing up designing our space and am wondering if I can really do it this time. I am always so gung-ho for the first few weeks and then things start to fizzle. I am scared but determined and I am praying to God, for the sake of our children and ourselves this will be our time. I am ready to be the woman I know I can be, the wife my husband deserves, and the mother my children need.
Well, I am going to finish getting my son ready for school, give him his healthy breakfast of fruit and yogurt. After he gets on the bus I will begin preparing a healthy breakfast for the rest of us.
Wish me luck in resisting all temptations today!
 2008/1/2 1/02 Biggest Loser Million Pound Match up
City and State- Copake, NY
Relationship- Husband and Wife
Adam's weight loss goal- lose 200 lbs.
Dawn's weight loss goal- lose 160 lbs.
Combined goal- lose 360 lbs. OUR KIDS, OUR LOVE, OUR LIFE!
My husband and I have tried many times to lose wieght and have gone up and down like yo-yo's for the last 13 years. After having fertility troubles, 2 miscarriages, and adopting our son we dieted on and off until we actually became pregnant. Now, by some miracle, we have 3 beautiful children (Steven-7, Hailey-3, and Jayden 5 mos.). We have tried so hard to have these children and we owe it to them to be here for as long as possible. We want to see every milestone and watch every dance recital, baseball game, and graduation. I want to play with them instead of watching them play and telling them "not now, mommy is tired". I NEED to be here to dance with my son at his wedding and my husband NEEDS to walk his girls down th aisle. I don't want to die because I was too lazy. I never want to see them go through what we went through as children and I never want to see them get teased for having the fattest parents in school.
We have started a calorie diet as of today and we plan to begin our exercise regimend with walking until we are comfortable enough to walk into our local gym and swimming pool at our school district. Our motivation will be to see our children watching us make the right choices in food and fitness. We are planning on actually seeing this through this time and becoming healthy once and for all.
We deserve to win because we are going to see this thing through and our children need us to do this. We do not have the resources to afford to join a gym or hire trainers on our own, so we NEED this. We will not quit until we are at our goal weight and to have the inspiration and motivation of trainers would give us that extra bit we need to get this done right. |
