Pick story continues, hard day yesterday, weight and measurments.

This picture is to honor my WONDERFUL HUBBY.. he does so much and works so hard to provide for our family, he is great with the kids, helps me when he can, and just an all around rockin dude.. and he is one handsome hot fella to boot!!!
Okay, that being said.....
Well it seems that yesterday ended up on a good note, that afternoon I was not sure at all how it would end up. Yesterday Joshua and I took Parker to the doctor of a four month well visit and it took us about three hours total. (we had to run by Target before coming home.) Our wonderful neighbor and dear friend Amanda watched Tyler while we were at the doctor and that was a GREAT help. Once we got home and I ate lunch, (Tyler was fed by Amanda, thanks girl), I started quite time with Tyler.. well the seems a few time outs later, and many warnings, quite time was over with no nap.. well about 3-4pm Parker starts to just SCREAM… I thought he was hungry tried that, NOPE. I thought he was running a fever, NOPE. I thought he was tired, NOPE. Well home to find out he was in pain, the shots were hurting I guess he legs were really hurting poor thing… so go through the house on a mad hunt for infant Tylenol, only to find nothing… oh did I mention in the middle of all this Parker threw up on me.. and I was trying to keep Tyler occupied (on that note, THANK YOU IPHONE!) Anyways, with baby yack on my shirt I put on a jacket and I am off to the store to by some meds. With the mood that I was in I was not about to test it with Wal-Mart so I went to Kroger. Well the Tylenol was are you ready? NINE BUCKS!!! Yeah that is right 9 bucks.. crazy.. so I went to pay for this box of gold apparently, and off I went to get back home to two upset boys, (Tyler was finally feeling the effects of NOT taking a nap). So I open the door to all three of my boys (Joshua, Parker and Tyler) ASLEEP on the couch!!! So thought, great, now I have time to clean up all the mess of today and cook dinner and eat all in time for worship practice tonight.. I got everything cleaned up and made supper, made the MISTAKE of waking up Tyler he was NOT happy so we laid him back down and he was out. GET THIS, he was out from 5pm to 4:30am this morning.. wow… crazy…
So during all this I thought it would be a GREAT idea to get all my measurements done… yeah.. what great timing right?
well long story short, finally got Joshua and I to eat dinner and I was off to worship practice.. which was great.. God was there, we had church last night.. so excited about Sunday!!! After practice I came home, fixed the boys bag they needed for today and then fixed me a cup of hot chocolate, then watched American Idol. (side note, really like Ellen as a judge, I think she will do great.) I went to bed at a decent time so that was night.. it was a HARD day but OVER ALL it was an okay day.
So.. I don’t know if any of you are wondering if Joshua got the pick out of the toilet from the other day, well in case you were losing sleep over this, Joshua did fish it out, but I am not sure I am going to use it.. yuck!! I know it was just water, but it was in the toilet.. so.. yeah..
Okay… so this is the big post.. and if you have read this far you are willing to read some more I am sure.. .. here is what I am going to do.. each day I am going to post my progress through this journey of losing weight and changing my life… so.. here is the skinny.. Pun intended… right..
Anyways… I am going to post my weight and measurements every two weeks, to keep track of the progress… If you would like to post any comment or just read for your reading pleasure that is GREAT. This is my way of keeping myself accountable to whoever is reading this blog. I am doing this to get healthy, it is time NOW… I need to get healthy for me, my family.. and I need to be a good example to my boys on how to be active and healthy.. need to start NOW.
Okay so here it is… drum roll please………..
Weight – 190 My measurements.. eeek … all these are in inches btw.. ;) waist-40, chest-43, arms-12 1/2, bottom- 44 1/2, Legs (calves) – 15 1/2 (right), 15 (left), thighs – 26 on both, shoulder-16… okay so that is my starting point.. I don’t have goals on my measurements, just to get smaller. As for the weight my goal is 135 -140. I encourage any advise, encouragement and just to let me know you are there for support.. this is my version of Biggest Loser except I am not on national TV with a sport braw and tights on.. THANK GOD!!!

Please keep reading the blogs, and join me in my journey.. I look forward to sharing this with all of you.. Toodles for now….
Pondering thought for the day: If someone says, such and such is for the birds, how do they know, do they know a bird, and if they do, does this bird talk??
