My Mom Kicks Ass!

Almost 3 years ago my mom had gastric bypass. This is a form of weight loss surgery that involves the removal of 90% of your stomach. Her top weight was 287lbs. She went down to 124lbs and then settled around 145lbs (she and everyone else felt she was much too skinny and unhealthy looking at 124). This week we found the tank top she wore on her surgery day and had to take pics....

Exercise Log - Week 8

After a really crappy week diet wise, I some how posted a loss on Friday (only .2lbs, but still!). So I figured I've got to get moving if I'm ever gonna lose this weight. On Fri I did the modified C25K, but with the treamill level instead of the 15% incline. I was able to do the whole 2 mins running twice! Wooooo! And last night Lee and I went for a nice walk around town.

Mileage: 3.97 miles
Time: 1 hr 16 mins

I WILL do more this week!

New Followers, New Blogs to Follow!

I had loads of fun with the Ultimate Blog party this week! Between my 2 blogs I gained 15 new followers and am now following 34 new blogs! YAY!

So as you can probably tell, I've been crazy busy reading blog this week! I read the intro/blog party posts of over 1000 blogs! Yup, that's over one *thousand* blogs. No wonder I'm so far behind on my own blogs!

However, we're back to our regularly scheduled programing! I *do* have 5 days of blog posts to catch up on, but I'll at least be back to blogging.

Any little baby. Sleeping for 20+ hours a day sounds awesome!

While I didn't have all of these kinds of pets growing up, I had most of them. I love animals!

I Suck

Not only did I post a gain on Monday (which we're just not talking about), but I've also lost track of my 30 day challenge (which I really need to catch up on!), and I've blown my diet since. I DID however, post a cool new ticker on my blog. My goal is to walk/run 100 miles by Aug 1st. And of course my still going goal is 25lbs by Olivia's birthday on July 19th. Go Me! I gotta get off this train wreck though....

Follow Me, I'm Canadian

In the middle of the UBP11 I found a Canadian link up! Woooo for Canadians! If you're Canadian and have a blog, fb page, twitter, ect... check it out and link up at Follow Me, I'm Canadian!

If you're visiting from the Canadian link up, Hi! I'm Sam and this is my general blog. I've also linked up my homeschooling blog. In this blog I post general stuff about my family and also the details of my weight loss journey.
