I have a new Divorce Goal! ...

i have been trying to decide "When do i take off my wedding rings? I am not quite ready yet, & that's ok. Not b/c i think we are getting back together .... i dont know why i dont want them off yet. Maybe b/c i LIKE them! lol 2 cararts of diamonds & platinum is hard to give up!

Plus, the main big diamond was my Grammas. Also, Averey would notice RIGHT AWAY as she has always loved & talked about my "married rings". For her sake, i wont take them off anytime soon, SHE certainly isnt ready to see them gone yet. & when i do, i think i will wear the engagement ring on my right hand. It doesnt particularly look like its JUST an engagement ring, its one large diamond w/ 2 smaller diamonds going down each side.

But ANYWAY, since i have gained SO much weight since i married almost 7 years ago, my rings wont come off! So ... my goal will be instead of having them cut off, I will lose enough weight to GET them off ... & i will be well on my way to being single & in shape! & MUCH happier with myself. I am joining wieght watchers THIS WEEK! Plus i have 3 weddings this summer to attend, one of which is in Napa Valley, CA!

What a great goal!!!


That was my goal when my husband left too... I was pregnant when he left and after I had the baby I lost 80 pounds.... just by cutting carbs. Then I got pregnant again by my boyfriend ( surprise! ) and I gained a few back.... so now I am up to 70 pounds lost since the day I had my son, 12/11.


Here's a hint.... I don't know if anyone drinks soda.... but Pepsi is the WORST..... I saw this on Dr Phil. 10 cans a day ( or glasses because they hold more than cans of soda ) equal about 1200 calories a day. If you quite that alone, you would lose 4-5 pounds a WEEK. That put it into perspective for me. I stopped Pepsi, now diet coke is my caffiene drink...... and I cut sugar almost completely. I also don't do carbs. I stick to chicken and salads and occassionally I will eat pasta ( which is carbs and turns into sugars eventually but I don't do enough of it to make a difference ) Since 12/11 ( the picture below ) I lost 70 pounds. I know weigh 13 pounds LESS than I did when I got pregnant by my boyfriend... and I thought I was doing good then! I also do light weights and ab work 5 days a week.


Keep up the goal!!! What a great way to take care of YOU!

You know what? I was probably REALLY close to that... the glasses in my house are like pint size....maybe 4-5 glasses a day.... eek!


And no thank YOU for being an inspiration to many of us :)
