Friday morning my hubby and I got the best news, we were pregnant! Although we weren’t planning on it, we were excited and ready to take our relationship to the next level.

 We told my parents friday night and they were so happy (to be their first grandchild). We told his family saturday when his whole family was together and they were all excited too…

 Saturday afternoon I started having some spotting which I read could be quite normal during early pregnancy, and me, not being an alarmist just thought everything would be ok…

 Sunday morning, things weren’t right…I started bleeding, heavily. The advice nurses on the phone recommended I go down to the ER. Between a blood test, an IV, a pelvic exam, a vaginal sonogram and everything I was poked and prodded more times than I cared for.

After a few hours of testing everything the Dr. came and told us I had had a miscarriage. I also found out that my blood is RH negative and since my hubby is RH positive the baby was also RH positive and basically my blood being neative treated the baby as an invader and attacked it (like a virus). They gave me a shot of RhoGAM and apparently this is supposed to make it so the blood does not go on this attacking spree in future pregnancies…

 It’s a been a whirlwind of a weekend…My hubby and I went from the ultimate high to the ultimate low in the matter of about 48 hours. We are using this time to lean on eachother for support. I’m a very lucky to have my hubby, he is my rock and I know I couldn’t make it through this without him by my side and to hold my hand and hold me at all the right moments.

I’ve not been exercising lately but I have been eating healthy when I do feel like eating, which is few and far between.

If anyone has been through this before, please feel free to send me a message or e-mail me at jes6b@yahoo.com 

The good news is my hubby and I found out we can conceive a child, and hopefully this whole RhoGAM thing will make it so the next pregnancy turns out just perfect. This whole experience has led Kenney (my hubby) and I to realize that we are ready for kids and as soon as my body is done going through this miscarriage (which sucks like holy hell)  and we have all our questions answered we are going to start trying for a family.

Please keep Kenney and I in your good thoughts and prayers and hopefully our next pregnancy will be healthy and happy and we will be able to have a happy healthy baby as well.

Well, it’s Friday again (even though it feels like Tuesday) and that means Weigh In day!!!

 As of this morning I am down to 181.6 pounds that I’m rounding up to 182.0. This brings my total loss to 28 pounds and I just traded in my two red starts for a green star!!

 This also means I have surpassed my first mini goal!! WOO HOO!!

I have reset my mini goal to 174 pounds which will bring my BMI out of the obese category and into the overweight category.

 Also, yesterday afternoon I received my food scale, that thing is going to get a lot of use in my kitchen!! I am so excited to start using it!!

Just wanted to  say thank you to those of you who sent positive vibes my way yesterday, Molly, Wonder Woman, Shanna, your positive vibes were heard!!

 Well now it’s on to next week’s goal…If I can make it down to 179-180 before I board the plane to go to Vegas for the weekend I will be thrilled!!!

Stay tuned… 

Well, tomorrow is my weigh in day and I’m anxiously awaiting to be 185.0 or less. 185.0 will bring me to a total of 25 pounds lost and my first mini goal!

Once I reach my first mini goal, I will be able to reset my mini goal to 174.0 pounds which will officially bring my BMI out of the obese category and into the overweight category! My hubby laughs when I tell him I want to be overweight!! Of course I do not plan on staying there, but this is the next step in my weight loss journey.

I’m here at work waiting for FedEx to deliver my food scale that I ordered, it’s expected to arrive today and then it’s off to the gym for a good workout.

 So anyone out there who can send me or my scale some positive vibes for tomorrow, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Today was a really nice day…I got to sleep in, first time in quite a while. My eyes didn’t open til 7:45 am. I rested in bed til about 8:15, it felt nice.

 I got up and went to the gym. I was surprised that it was fairly crowded. I did 25 minutes on the elliptical @ 12.5 incline at 3.5 mph the entire time. Then I went upstairs to the weights area and did some triceps and hemstring machines.

I was wearing a thin pair of socks and all the walking on the treadmill wore a bliter on the back of my heel. It should be ok, I put some ointment on it tonight and covered it with a bandaid.

When I got home from the gym my hubby was busy cooking away. We had egg beaters and turkey sausage. I made sure to only have 2 links as this was the serving size. It was really nice to have a cooked breakast on a Wedesday morning.

Then we went out to play minature golf, it was so much fun, my hubby and I haven’t done this since our first date over 6 years ago. It was nice weather out and wasn’t too warm.

Then later this afternoon in was off to my In Law’s house for a BBQ. I made healthy choices, I completely passed on the chips and salsa, nacho cheese, guacamole and sourcream. For dinner I had a few small pieces of pollo asado and carne asada without a tortilla. I had a spoonful of spanish rice, a spoonul of refried beans and a few sliced black olives. It was so enjoyable without overindulging.

Hubby and  are home now relaxing. We both have to work in the morning and didn’t want to battle the crowds at any of the fireworks locations.

I hope everyone else had a nice and relaxing day and stayed on plan.

Well, today is the first of the month and for me that means it’s time to pull out my handy tape measure and take measurements.

As of June 1st, my hips were 44.5″, as of July 1st they are now 43″, a loss of 1.5″

This is a fantastic way to start out a month!! As of the 11th of this month, it will be 2 months since I started my life change, I’m feeling fantastic, so far I’ve lost 24 pounds and 14.25″.
