Megan's 10 year well-check up/ ENT Follow-up

Today Megan had her 10 year old well check up appt. For the first time ever, we were 2 months behind on her check up. What happened was ( because I need to tell you why I was so late getting her in) that she was sick with strep throat 2x's after her birthday and when you are sick they will not do a well check so we kept having to push it back, so now that she is all better and feeling good today was the day-January 6. The Doctor understood and remembered that we were in and out the past couple of months and that she just had surgery for her tonsils and adenoids so she said it was fine, so I felt better. :) ( I'm a worry wart lol)

Her check up went very well. The best part of her appt today was no immunizations and when there are no immunizations we have a very happy girl!!!

Megan's 10 year old well check update:

Weight - 61 lbs

Height - 52 in.

The Doctor gave her a hearing test and she had perfect hearing. She said that Megan looked great and everything that we are doing is good... the foods we are eating ( fruit, veggies, milk intake, hrs of sleep, etc...)

She also said that her ears, throat looked great, but when she did look into her eyes, she noticed that she had a stye in her left eye, so she gave us a prescription for a antibotic to help get rid of that.

Yesterday, Megan had her ENT follow up appt. The Doctor said that everything was looking great and everything was healing like it should. We were so happy to know that it was all healing good. Megan is finally starting to eat more solids. She still can not eat oranges, they still "sting" her throat, but other than that she is doing much better.

Both well check ups had great reports!!!

Until next year till the next well check ups...

She is tough, but I am hanging in there....

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shed has been part of my workout plan that I started this week. I walk my two miles, do my own ab exercises and I have arm bands from when I was in "Strollerfit" when the kids were babies that I use and then I end the evening with Jillian.

I do have to admit, that she is a toughie! I mean, seriously the video is only 20 minutes and I am barely hanging on by a thread at the end, I guess I am THAT OUT OF SHAPE, but at least I am doing it right??? Hopefully by next week it will start getting easier and I won't be thinking in my head " Am I done yet?" :)

But...... I do have to say, even though it's only been a week, I do feel better. I have been watching my calorie in-take and drinking more water ( drinking water was a biggie for me).

I am only going to weigh on Mondays so I am anxious to see how I am doing.

I am looking forward to more workouts with Jillian and looking forward to seeing my results in the coming months.

Wordless Wednesday

My Hangover 2 review...

Well here it is...Chad and I watched the movie last night and I have to say it had some funny parts in it. The guys in the movie are still hilarious, but the movie reminded me of the first one. the same plot if you know what I mean. I think they could of changed it up quite a bit. There was one main diffence ( and I won't tell you, incase you haven't seen it, I don't want to ruin it) and I wish they wouldn't of changed it and would of stayed with the previous.

I guess I should of suspected being a "part two" it would of been this way. I give it a...

THUMBS DOWN
I liked the first one much better.

A Redbox movie that I have been waiting for...

One of my favorite movies is Hangover. I have seen that movie many many times and everytime I watch it it still cracks me up. Those guys are hilarious in that show! When I found out that their was a Hangover 2, I could not wait to see it. ( honestly I can't believe I did not see it in the theater, but anywho..)

When I saw that it was coming out on Redbox I could not wait for it! -yes I get excited over the small things :) - Well today it was the day that it came out and Chad reserved it for me. Woo Hoo! I am so excited and looking forward to watching it this evening ( of course after the munchins go to sleep) Hopefully this one will be just as funny as the first one.

I will post tomorrow morning on whether I liked it or not. Look for a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

Until tomorrow....

Tomorrow starts the new healthier me...

Tomorrow will be the start of a healthier me, I have put me together a exercise log on my computer. I have a new spiral that I am going to use to start writing down all the foods that I eat and I am ready to get started...

I do not want to say that I am on a "DIET", I just want to change my lifestyle to make it more healthier. I think I do eat ok ( I mean I don't pig out), but I know 100% that I could eat a lot better. My one flaw ( I guess you could call it) is that I do not exercise that much. Actually I take that back, I do walk on my treadmill quite a bit, but obvisouly it is doing much good. ( haven't seen the results that I would like to see)

I need more variety and putting together my exercise log, I will be able to track it and to make sure I am hitting all areas.

I do believe logging all my exercises and having a food journal will help me, not only see how much I am doing, or do I need to add more and seeing what foods I am eating and keeping track of how much ( calories) will help me achieve my goals.

Before I would start "dieting" I would say I have till this time to weigh this much, well lets face it that doesn't work ( for me anyways) I either get there, or I don't make it and then I'm frustrated with myself, or if I'm close I don't eat much so I can make that goal, or like any diet, it all comes back. So this time I want to do it right, or at least what feels right to me.


Normally I would say I'm not doing this for anybody other than myself, but actually that is a lie. I am doing it for someone.... My family!!! I want to be healthier for my wonderful husband and children! They are so important to me and they mean the world to me!!!

I will tell ya a secret though.... I would love to purchase me a pair of "MISS ME" jeans. I just love them, but am not wanting to spend $ 100 on a pair of jeans for this body yet, so I am hoping to be sporting those jeans one day. I would like to lose about 20 lbs - this would get me to be "normal" on my BMI calculator, but when I do get down that much this bootie is getting in a pair of expensive jeans. ( I mean a girl's gotta treat herself right??) :)

Here's to a new and healthy year for this momma!
