It has been a good but trying 12 days so far. I have lost over 12 pounds from the time that I first applied to Mamavation. I am excited. I feel better (for the most part) My watch and ring are a little loose. Woo hoo!
I am also thrilled for Alyssa who is doing very well. I like having two moms in Mamavation. It doesn’t at all feel like a competition but it feels as if we are working together. I get her struggles. I am sure that she gets mine.
I have been working hard to get the nutrition plan down but I still have to refer to it everyday. My next step is to change more of my family dynamic. It seems that I only see the rest of my family around food. We meet for dinner. We go out for birthdays. Aren’t other families like this? I am not sure what else to do with my extended family. I will have to think on that one. Sad isn’t it?
I am feeling pretty down today and I am thinking that it is because the change in the weather. Not exactly sure. Maybe S.A.D. I will have to make certain that I take my depression medication at the same time on a daily basis and not skip a day (I tend to forget at least once or twice a week).
I work from home and my husband works long hours. Very often the only adult interaction that I have during the day is the wave to the carpool lady or with the people on the tv. It is true! Stand outside my house one day and you may here me yelling at the television or rather the people on it.
My goal for the next week is to get to the gym. We joined the Y over two years ago and I have not worked out there once. If I can lay it all out there for you guys, I should be able to do it to go to the gym. They even have FREE childcare. I think that just the act of getting out of the house will make me feel a little better.
Exercise was a total struggle today because of my attitude. I know that it’s me. I did it but I wasn’t really that into it. I did not work as hard as I could have.
I guess what I am most annoyed about is that I should have told you guys today. I am horrible about asking for help. It is so easy just to slide back under the covers and not see the outside world.
I should have jumped on Twitter and said the words: “I NEED HELP. I need some love today. Feeling down.” But I didn’t do that. This won’t happen again.
Tomorrow is another day and I am determined to wake up with a better attitude. Or at least drink a ton of caffeine.
P.S. If you guys are not wearing @EarthFootwear yet, you seriously should be. And EA Sports Active?? Get it.
Yes, next time tell us you are down. You did that on twitter a bit for us today. I think it may be something with the moon cause I had an off day today too. But I am proud of all the work you are doing! Yeah, and you are right about finding family activities that don't involve food. Park trips, hiking with kids, sports, etc. Go for it!
Girl, your are not alone in your struggles. And 12 POUNDS????!!!! That rocks!
please please please tell us when you're down! Thats why we're here. Dont feel bad about it at all. Dont feel alone. You have a huge support team that are here for your ups and downs. You've accomplished so much already. Every day isnt going to be amazing.
Maybe leah is right. I was not feeling it today either. The trick is to force yourself to get those workouts in. you're not always going to love or even like it. actually sometimes you will hate it. haha. But in the end when you see results it will all be worth it and eventually you will thrive from it.
You're doing so awesome and we're all so proud of you. Nobody expects you to be perfect. Other wise you would need mamavation. I love your honesty. Its so real. Thats why you inspire so many.
Cheer up. tomorrow is a new day
I was thinking about you today
Everyone has an off day and we all need a 'pick me up' every now and again. That's what makes us all so strong; we are stronger together.
Definitely tweet out when you need support- there are enough of us that we could even jump on Skype if you need to see someone's purty face
You can do this! Get to the Y- even just to try it out for a half hour and see how your kids do with the childcare.
Rooting for you!!
I totally agree with Melissa – I would love to talk to you on skype, if only just to distract you for a few minutes. I am a SAHM, so I know what that is like – having no outside interactions with the world. We are here for you! Much love, Miss Stacie!
We are here to support you (especially on the down days). I am a SAHM that has some rotten days and I need my friends to rally around me to get me going again. We want to be here for you every step of the way.
I avoided the gym for a long time, mostly because I figured everyone else knew what they were doing and I didn't, but since getting myself there, I love it.
When I don't feel like exercising I try to find something else I can do to get some steps in. Yesterday my little one and I raked leaves. (And I am feeling it today).
I hope the weather turned around for you today. please let us know if you need anything.

Oh, Stacie! I have many days like this and it is SO easy to just deal with it yourself. I'm fianlly learning to reach out more too. It's hard to do, huh? Well, we'll lose weight and learn to take our medication without skipping and learn to ask for help TOGETHER!!! We CAN do this girl!! Hugs
However, they’re rather very sensitive in regards to the degree of solutions complaintant functions
