Weight loss... Not...

In the last post I mentioned weight loss needed its own post and well here it is.
I feel like when I post on here it makes me more accountable.
The last few weeks or months I have been beyond stressed. I'm that person who eats when I'm stressed. Like I shovel kit kats into my pie hole like I'm going to die if I don't. Lol.
I guess my hormones get so crazy that I just can't control anything I eat. I'm getting better with recognizing it but I still have slip ups. Thankfully, I have still been going to the gym and busting my butt 5-6 times a week so I haven't gained a single pound. But I haven't lost anything either :(
So I realized that I do best with a goal in mind. I haven't had a goal in awhile. When I started in September my goal was get out of the 200's yes you read that right 217lbs to be exact. Scary scary number I know. But I have lost 40lbs and I'm sitting not so pretty at 177. I'm not happy with that number its not great at all but I have worked super hard to get there.
My new goal is 140's by Disney. My whole family is going on a huge vacation for my step dads 50th birthday in January. That's 6 months from now. 6 months to lose 28+ pounds. It sounds easy but I know its going to be hard. Especially if we have to move and especially with everything going on but maybe of I wrote it out here I will hold myself accountable and do it. I want to finally lose the weight and just get to a maintaining point.
I will leave with this picture. This is the difference between this summer at 177 and last summer at 217 and of course my gorgeous sister is there too :)

Long time...

Its been awhile, I know. So much has been going on.
I don't even know where to start.
Bullets seem best :)

*Tenys second surgery
*Marcus surgery
*Weight loss
*Moving news
*Car drama
*Summer and family coming

So I'll briefly talk about the babies and their surgeries. Teny had a barium enema done and they found a full colon and had the nerve to say they are diagnosing her with severe constipation. I was so mad. It was like duh she's constipated that's why we are here. The next step is to send her to Cincinnati children's hospital for exploratory spinal surgery. We still haven't decided if we are doing that or not.
Marcus had metal stenosis and had a circumcision revisal. He did great and is now no longer in pain. He was a trooper.

Oh my weight loss.... Enough said I suppose. I think I shall wait to do another post on that one.

Moving! We always new being military that we would move but it doesn't make it any easier. My husband got a new job and the training is in fl which means moving to Florida for oh 8 months and then moving again to where ever the army decides. Its going to be scary and we could decide to stay and not move while my hubby is in training or we can move with him. But with all of Marcus therapy's and his being behind I'm not sure its best to move him for such a short period of time. So we have some serious decisions to make as to what we do. We have till October to figure it out :/

And oh the car drama! To whomever stole my car "I hope you are enjoying it and I hope you get pulled over and sent to jail!" We are out so much money, we are still paying for the car 3 months later. There is only 2000$ we are asking gap to cover and its like pulling teeth. Who would have thought it would be so hard?

Don't worry it hasn't all been bad :) we have been having a blast with my brother and sister. Lots of bbqing, swimming, late nights, card games, lost, and just enjoying summer.

We celebrated mothers day and fathers day and they were pretty awesome. Mine was amazing thanks to my awesome hubby. His wasn't that great but that was because he had to work. So hopefully I made it the best it could be for him :) 

So now that everything is calming down I should get back to posting more often :)
