Travel with Christy K

Sweet little Ranston made his debut!! I love him so much! lol.  Monday Feburary 15th my sister called my mom at 5:45 am and said we are fixing to go to the hospital...so my mom calls me and says "Get up, get your stuff together cause we are fixing to go to Victoria".  So I get up and get my stuff together and we left Odessa about 7:30 am.  After our 7 1/2 hour drive and even us going to the wrong hospital ( don't ask lol) we made it 30 minutes before she had him.  Yea!!

Since we left on a Monday that meant I wouldn't be in Odessa for my weigh in on Tuesday :(  So I texted the leader of our group and she asked if I could weigh myself while I was here and I lost 3 lbs!!! I was so excited because I was worried that I would have stayed the same or gained a pound because on Thursday I started to feel really crappy.  I was lightheaded and nose was burning lol kinda like sinus stuff.  It lasted until Sunday afternoon.  Thank goodness cause I couldn't have been around Ranston if I were sick.  But I did end up losing my voice last night because I talked on the phone alot of the way down to Victoria and sang alot lol.  Crazy how that happened huh?

Well I had my second weigh in last night and I lost 4 lbs!!! I was so happy lol.  I had been doing great and sticking to plan but for some reason I just wasn't sure.  It'll take a few weigh in's I think for me to not be that way.  I was the biggest loss this week on my team! Yea!  I was in such a grouchy irritable mood (it's kinda spilled over to today) and wasn't going to work out when I went to weigh in but decided to.  I felt so much better afterwards!  I hope today's work out goes the same.  They finally opened the pool back up from getting maintanence done and  I want to swim but not today.  Robbie's been going to the gym with me and even though we listen to our ipods and dont chat that much it's been nice just having someone there and to ride with me. 

We are still waiting on Ranston to be here.  He apparently is like his mother and is being stubborn...j/k sister lol.  His due date isn't until the 18th but I hate just sitting here waiting for a phone call to leave for Beeville/Victoria.  I'm just worried I won't make it in time.  Cymbre sent me a pic of a onsie she saw at Beall's there and I have to go see if it is at our store.  It's so cute!!  When I get it I'll post a picture :)

Soooooo much going on lol.  So I found a picture that I wanted to share on my blackberry from my trip to my sisters.  When we were in Houston and waiting on the plane I saw this:

It is a machine that you put money into and it has all sorts of different cords to charge phones and ipods and such lol.  I had never seen one before!  That is the greatest invention ever!  Because I don't carry my charger with me, I always put it in my suitcase but what if I had some down time in the airport and wanted to add some battery power to my phone all I have to do is put a couple of dollars in there and plug it up lol.

The alumni football game was this past weekend and it was so much fun!!!  Angela and I got there and the line was waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy long lol.  When we finally got through the line/consession line and got our tickets we moved to the next long line to get in.  That line went pretty fast though.  Andrews was on the visitors side so we had to walk down and walk on the track across to the visitors side.  The game had already started and I prayed as we walked I didn't get smacked in the head.  If it would happen to anyone it would be me that it happened to lol.  Cymbre really wanted to go but couldn't since she is about to have my little Ran Ran lol (I just came up with that nickname lol) so I was texting her through out the game and I sent her a picture:

The guys played so good!  It was a really good game and alot of fun.  I was really proud of them.  AND none of our guys got hurt! lol.  I did feel bad for the Monahans team because there was 2:13 left in the game and one of there guys broke his leg.  I read on the Facebook page for the game that he had to have a plate and some screws put in and he's doing good. 

And for the loss.....I lost 6 lbs this week!!!!! Yea me!!!! I was so worried I was going to be the slacker of the group but I did pretty good I think.  I don't know why I felt that way because I did everything I was supposed to and didn't even cheat lol!  I still haven't had a Dr. Pepper :) and I was really tempted today cause I went to Cassidy's for lunch and oh man they have good Dr. Peppers lol.  Tonight I upped my cardio by 15 minutes.  I wasn't sure if I could do it but I did and felt great when I was done.  I love working out with what makes me want to continue to work out.  I think that's the key to working out.  Finding something you enjoy doing because there are so many times that people attempt to work out and quit because they don't enjoy it.  When I did this last time when I had gotten down quite a bit and couldn't swim because it was cold I started Yoga Booty Ballet.  I can not wait until I can pull that dvd out and do it with out problems lol.  But for now I like doing the cardio and will add swimming to it when the pool opens in about a week :)

Today was good.  Stayed on program :)  I was supposed to go to the chiropractor today but I ended up having to work till 6.  That's always fun when someone comes in at 4:45 pm and can't give me a sample (I do drug testing for the ones that don't know lol) and I end up having to be there forever.  So I just ended up canceling and just going to work out.  I love working out on Friday nights lol.  There was no one there hardly.  It was really nice having my choice of machine.  I'm going to go tomorrow before I get my oil changed so I hope it's the same way.  I'm going to mosey into the weight room and check it out.  I really wish the pool was open lol.  So I don't think I'm going to blog everyday about this.  I pretty much am saying the same thing over and over and over lol.  I feel like I should just copy and paste lol.  I'll probably blog about it again on Tuesday after I weigh in.  Hope everyone has a happy weekend :)

Today was a good day :)  I didn't get to go work out today at the gym because the weather was pretty crappy here but I did do yoga booty ballet here at my house.  I love ybb.  The one in partiuliar that I have is called "Latin Flavor" lol except they pronounce it "Flava" lol.  It's alot of fun.  I have drank so much water today lol.  I feel like every 5 min. I'm going to the restroom.  Aw, the joys of water.  The gift that keeps on giving lol.  I did very well on my eating too.  Still stuck to program.  I did go to Sonic and get a medium Diet Cherry Limeade.  I had never had one before but I'm still staying away from Dr. Pepper's even if it is a Diet Dr. Pepper lol so I decided to try those.  They are pretty good.  They'll come in handy when I need a fix.  I am having a problem though.  I have been itching to go get coffee.  We don't have a Starbucks but we have a great coffee shop here called Cpl Ray's (which in my oppionion is better lol :) but I have no idea what to order lol.  I can't order what I use to because there are 3432343423433234 calories in it lol.  I do like just regular coffee with splenda and creamer but is there a way to order something like a white chocolate mocha that I can have?  I know there are sugar free stuff but I'm just not sure.  If anyone is reading this and has a suggestion let me know lol!

Day #3 :)  It went really good. I found out that we are doing our weekly weigh in on Tuesdays so I'll be posting results then. But as far as my day went I stuck to my eating plan and did fantastic.  I even stepped out and ate lunch at Western Grill with the girls.  I can't remember if I have mentioned it in an earlier blog but HEB has these individual size apple and brown sugar oatmeal that is out of this world! lol.  It is 10 times better than Quaker Oats for sure AND it's low cal, low fat, and high in fiber lol and we all know fiber is our friend lmao.  It's what makes the weightloss world go round.....lol.  At lunch I had a small grilled chicken breast and a little bit of mashed potatoes and a little bit of green beans lol.  I say little bit of green beans because I'm not the biggest fan of veggies.  Well I love salads and of course the starchy veggies lol.  I've acknowledge the fact that in order to have better eating habits and to make this successful you have to eat your veggies.  When at home I cook french cut green beans because I seem to eat those better.  And I've also learned that I have to eat them first before anything else because other wise I won't eat them lol.  Just a few little tricks I learned about myself the last time I was successful at this.  I went to work out but didn't work out as long as I wanted to.  I started to not feel to hot so I decided that I better stop while I was ahead lol.  For dinner I had a sandwhich with Sara Lee Delightful bread (1 point for 2 slices if your doing Weight Watchers lol).  I also found Lays light are better for you than Baked Lays.  Oh and I also had a banana.  So all in all it was a good day.

Hi my name is Christy and I haven't had a Dr. Pepper since January 22, 2010....Well day 2 went good!  I just stuck to cardio again but next week I'm going to incorporate some arm stuff in the weight room.  The pool isn't open right now because they are making repairs but when it opens back up I will prob. try to make a water areobics class or just go and do my own thing cause I love being in the water.  My eating went really good too.  I stayed on target and didn't eat anything i wasn't supposed to :)  I also have been getting all of my water in.  I bought a disposable 2 gallon container at HEB when I went grocery shopping so I wouldn't drink all of the water at my office.  I need to buy one that I can refill.  I'm going to blog again tonight so I can give you an update on Day 3 (today) and be caught up where I can always blog at the end of every day. Who knows....I may even blog from the treadmill lol.

The alumni football game is this weekend!! It's going to be so much fun! My friends and I are all planning on going. I hope my expectations aren't to high lol. When I was in high school we had the best football teams. And Andrews had great teams even till after my sister graduated in 01. But I don't know what happened in the last 8 years because the teams haven't been real great. I went to a few games and it was like the crowd just sat there and nobody cheered (except there really wasn't anything to cheer about lol) and everyone was just there to chat. The coaches are Tyson Deaver and Nick Blackmon. I think they'll do great also! I wish it could've turned into a reunion weekend or something. Who knows...it still might lol. I don't know who all is coming in for it but it'll be fun. We should plan to meet at the "Furr's" parking lot :) except I just read that it's been moved to Ratliff Stadium.....bummer....
