Get it girl!

Had to post my progress so far. 

This is me at around 250 lbs, I was pregnant with my daughter


woah momma, large and in charge I should say!

This pic is from last year, I was about 240


Yeah, I thought I was sexy...uh no.

So now we are here in January of 2010 and I am on a really awesome diet.  I am now down to 218 lbs

 

Much better, so far.  I have about 60 more lbs but I really feel great right now.  I'm really impressed by this progress and I know I will finally succeed in this journey thanks to supportive friends and my friends from Sparkpeople!

Writer's workshop(been awhile)

Mama's Losin' It


So I have been MIA in blogland lately mainly due to the fact that I am now working and been losing weight.
(BTW, add me as a friend on Sparkpeople...shrinkingcrista)

I decided that I'd do one of Kat's workshops because its been awhile since the last time arg!

This one I chose because my firstborn was arriving that year and he's the light of my life(other than my daughter of course!)

The picture I would take of 2005 would be me pregnant and that August little man would be born.  I would be tired stressed and planning to say goodbye to my husband due to deployment #2.  It has been a long and rocky road but its been an adventure to say the least!

My 2 best projects

Wow, what a decade of craziness!

So these past 10 years have been a rollercoaster for me.  I would like to sum it down on this blog...pics may follow if I can't find any on this laptop!

2000

Moved to Germany with my parents.  If I didn't meet my future husband beforehand I wouldn't have tagged along, he moved there the beginning of the year, we got there in July of that year.  We also went to Paris that Christmas.


2001

Married in Geibelstadt Germany.  Our getaway car was a Mercedes Benz 2 seater...the rental cars there are all like that and super cheap to rent.  Taxis are also Mercedes Benzes.  This was the year I realized I would be on my own for awhile due to hubby being in the field.


2002

Visited Amsterdam and went shopping in Cheque.  Still on my own and became more independent.

2003

Moved to Ft. Riley, KS...hated it!  Our apartment there was termite infested and tiny but it was only us two but thankfully the termites were fumigated!  Had no vehicle so relied on fellow wives from the unit(4th ID Dragon brigade)..only to find out they talked shit about me and pretended to be my friend.  Hubby getting ready to deploy, we discussed starting a family when he got back.  My sister came to live with me after he left

2004

Hubby came home after 13 months.  He did not get to come home for R&R(the unit was assholes to him too)  November found out my friend from school died, that same weekend found out I was pregnant with my son after trying for 2 months.

2005

Hubby went to school to change his job.  Lived with parents in California for a few months.  Moved to Ft. Campbell, Ky.  Braden was born that August, hubby left for Iraq that September.  I moved in with my parents(again) and stayed with them.  My dad left for Iraq that November.  Braden's first Christmas was with my mom, sister and I.


2006

Before Tom came home he called to tell us he got orders for Alaska.  I told him he was out of his effing mind.  He refused to deny the orders...thats where the marriage started falling apart.  He came home and got pregnant with baby number 2 fall of that year.


2007


Got ready to go.  Visited hubby's family in Florida then my parents in Texas.  Then started on our journey to snowland.  Was about 5 months pregnant.  Took the 6 day ferry to Alaska from Washington.  Lila was born that July.  Marriage was getting rougher.


2008

Depressed.  Was making exit strategies to get out of Alaska.  Decided that I would leave the next summer.


2009

Moved to Texas that summer, went home to Illinois to visit relatives.  Said goodbye to hubby until he gets back in March(he was supposed to leave earlier but that got screwed up).  Marriage is still a bit rough.


2010

Will it be better for all of us??  We shall see!
