Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! I hope you all have wonderful time with family and loved ones this week! And don't forget to watch what you eat! If you can, find out all the food that will be there and really think about what you want to eat and make sure to stick to your plan! I'll be rootin for you, please root for me! haha. My goal is to lose weight tomorrow! So let's see if I can do it!
I re-evaluated my weight loss schedule and I'm actually doing pretty darn good this week! Lost a good amount Monday and a pretty okay amount yesterday! Happy about that :) How's T-Tapp going? I'm still in love! It makes me feel good and it's fast LOVE that. How about for you guys? Is it easier now than it was in the beginning?
Well definitely excited about tomorrow, -it's also my hubby's Birthday- and today is my Friday at work! Just gotta make it through today and i have four days of being with him and our family & friends I CAN'T WAIT! If you're traveling, be safe! Until next time :)

Happy Monday! It's Thanksgiving week! What are you guys thankful for? I'm incredibly thankful for my family. Both my family, and my husband's family are so wonderful and they're always there for us. I'm thankful for all of you for being here for me as well! I'm mostly thankful for everything God has given me in my life. No matter what it is, even if it's dressed as a disease, it's always a blessing in disguise. :)
I lost a bit of weight last week, but this weekend there was absolutely nothing. And the funny thing is, I was surrounded by bad food, that I didn't eat. You know I really am happy that at least I didn't gain weight, but it just puts me that much farther back from being where I want to be. When I first started this "crunch time" I felt like the amount of weight I wanted to lose was definitely do-able. I'm seeing now that I was definitely hoping too high. I'm not saying I'm stopping, but I'm going to kind of take another look at where I'm going to hope to be. I'll give you a hint...I was hoping to be a good chunk lighter than where I was when my mom came to see me in July -if you remember how much I weighed...then you'll get a feel for it- but now...I'm going to have to push to even make it to where I was when my mom came. I have not been lying to you all, I do tell you if I lose, or gain. But of course I can see how it's difficult since I don't say numbers. When I lose a "big number" it means I lost exactly what I needed to lose that day, or more. If I "lost weight" it means I lost, but it wasn't as much as I needed to lose that day. And obviously gain or staying the same, is exactly what it means.
So anyway...I'm going to re-evaluate my weight loss for the next month, since knowing that I'm not where I need to be is just making it that much harder. Hopefully I'll be what I was when my Mom came...I know that gives a lot away, but that's what's going on right now, and since I've been saying I'm not where I want to be, I thought you all should get a hint. Thank you all for your support! Until next time :)

HAPPY FRIDAY! I'm glad the weekend is finally here, but it's not much of a difference I've been home since Wednesday early afternoon! Started getting a fever Wednesday and my cold turned into a flu :( Left work early and thought my fever was done that afternoon cause my temp was pretty normal. But then it got really bad late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. So I stayed home yesterday cooped up in bed with my loving and loyal puppy. *she's having sick days too :)* I no longer have a fever, but work and the hubbs told me to stay home today as well. Which I guess is good because I can heal more and I doubt anyone could understand me if I picked up the phone! Hopefully I get better because I have my Scentsy launch party tomorrow night! Thankfully my husband has been great already cleaning for it since I've been sick.
Speaking of Scentsy, I officially sell Scentsy now!!! You guys can go check out my website https://mollysscentsations.scentsy.us/Home I'm so excited to finally be selling it, I just love Scentsy and I love being able to share it and introduce it to people! :)
Weight loss is going good but I'm not exactly following the diet these last couple days. It's been soup, orange juice, bananas, sprite and crackers. I'm not eating a lot, but all those have lots of calories/sodium. I actually have lost some weight since Wednesday too but not a lot. Almost a days worth in the last couple days. At least it's going down and not up!!!
Well I hope you are all doing wonderfully and have a great weekend! Thanksgiving is almost here -which is also my hubbys Birthday-!!! Until next time :)

HAPPY WEDNESDAY! We're halfway through the week! How is everyone doing? I'm fabulous! I can't believe it's already over halfway through November! Where is this year going?
Not going to lie I almost forgot about this post. It is Thursday in my mind, I was crushed when I found out it wasn't :( But at least it reminded me to get on here! So did not do T-Tapp this morning, I've been sick since Monday and it's gotten progressively worse over the past few days. I'm surprised I got myself dressed and to work! But I have been weighing in! I actually gained weight on Monday and was so shocked! I did so perfect on my diet, T-Tapped and felt like I had a perfect day -regarding weight loss- to get on and gain weight! It pushed me back another couple days! So then yesterday I kept pushing on, did my eating, didn't T-Tapp but come last night I was starving. I had eaten the exact same amount as the day before but it was 6:30p and my stomach wouldn't stop growling! So I ended up eating another 200 calories and guess what...I lost all the weight I gained on Monday PLUS another couple days worth! YAY!
So here's where I'm confused...If you eat too much -which, when you're a Thyroid patient still isn't a lot- your body doesn't burn up enough calories and you gain weight. If you don't eat enough, your body thinks you're starving it so it holds on to your calories and you lose weight. HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO FIND THE HAPPY MIDDLE!? Because this is how my diet is going *no matter what I weigh!*:
Eat 1300 calories - gain weight
Eat 1200 calories - lose weight
Eat 1200 calories - lose weight but not nearly as much
Eat 1200 calories - don't lose or gain at all
Eat 1100 calories - lose weight
Eat 1100 calories - gain weight
Eat 1200 calories - lose weight
Eat 1200 calories - don't lose really anything
Eat 1150 calories - lose weight
Eat 1150 calories - gain weight
Eat 1350 calories - lose a lot of weight
*Oh and I've checked, the days I do T-Tapp doesn't affect this. It's just random days* How am I supposed to know how much to eat?! Because it's not like I starve myself. If my stomach is growling, and water isn't cutting it, I will eat more. But on days where it's not happening, I eat how much I need.
Anyway...I'm confused, but very happy I lost a big number yesterday. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated! Until next time :)

Hello everyone! It's Monday!! Don't get a case of the Mondays...just be happy that you get to see this day! How did everyone's weekend go? Mine was pretty good! Had fun with friends and the hubbs, and ended up having to buy a new washer/dryer yesterday! We tried to fix ours so many times but it was done :( I actually lost quite a bit of weight this weekend! Pretty dang excited about that! I lost two pretty big numbers both on Saturday and Sunday! LOVE THAT! Unfortunately I'm still a little behind but I am catching up! *by the way...if you don't understand what I mean by -behind- it's that I have a certain weight I want to be at every day (i mapped it all out) and if I'm behind it means I'm losing weight, I'm just not where I should be that day. If I'm ahead, then obviously I'm losing more weight than I had hoped to!*
So here's something that I realized about myself on Friday...I'm an instant pleasure/happiness kind of
person. If I want something, I want it right then. That goes for everything from expensive purses and TVs to food. I'll get a craving for food and even if it's not on my diet I'll want it right then, I just have to have it. So I'll eat it, and I'll be happy that I did, but the next day when the scale doesn;t budge, or I gain weight....I'll be extremely upset that I did in fact eat it. And then there are times when I really want something, but I don't eat it. No joke I will think about it for the rest of the night and how much I want it, the next day however I'm stoked I didn't eat it because I will have lost weight. Unfortunately it is a process to get to the point where I'm not an -instant happiness- kind of person. My husband is helping me though, and hopefully some day I will conquer this! It is important to overcome this in order to control my weight. and I'm doing everything to get there.
Anyway I hope you all have a wonderful day! Until next time :)

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing wonderful! Ready for the weekend? I am! This week at work has been CRAZY! It's beautiful outside today :) It's raining right now and it's supposed to storm the rest of the day! Though it's going to be 80 degrees today a cold front is coming in tonight, and the high for the weekend is in the low 60s! Can't wait. What do you all have going on for the weekend? I'm going to a little "Peddler's Fair" tomorrow, the lady I'm going to be selling Scentsy under is having a booth for Scentsy so I'm going to help her and check out the rest of the fair, should be fun! Might do some stuff with friends, but it should be pretty relaxing!
Weight loss and T-Tapp goin good! I told you I was behind, and I still am buuuuut I'm losing the amount of weight I'm supposed to every day, so I'm not getting more behind! T-Tapp is good! I look forward to it because I feel so much better after it's done and I love that! It gives me a little extra bounce in my step and I have so much energy throughout the rest of the day! Can't beat that especially with hypothyroidism, am I right? Well I hope you all have a great next couple days! Until next time :)

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's cool and foggy here this morning! Love that! How are you all feeling? I haven't heard from a lot of you lately on how your progress is going or how you're feeling I would love to know. I'm doing really well right now! I'm almost caught back up to being exactly where I want to be at this day. I'm just barely behind, but I know I'll catch up! T-Tapp is still going good! I can feel that it's so much easier, but it still kicks my butt every time! I love it!
What do you guys have going on for Thanksgiving? Traveling anywhere? Going to see family? What are you most excited for? I know it's a ways away but even with my diet I have to tell you I'm most excited about the food! Because I already know what we're having and I'm putting in my mind now what I'll be having. I'll be having veggies, some -not much- cranberry sauce and turkey and ham! No dressing no potatoes no dessert! I'm excited to see how I do and excited to not have that "full all day and the next" feeling!
Well I hope you all are doing fabulous have a wonderful day! Until next time :)

It's Monday! I wish the weekends were longer, but I'm actually excited that it's Monday. It just means it's one week closer to going to California! :) I actually did not lose any weight this weekend! I stayed the exact same as I was on Friday. Kinda confused since I actually did quite well, but that's okay just pushing on through today! So my weekend was fabulous! I had so much fun, how about y'all? Do anything fun? Do anything...not fun? Haha our dryer broke last night, with half of our clothes already through the washer, and the other half still soaked and in the broken dryer. Hahah it was not thrilling, but we're trying to fix it!
So I have some exciting news! I'm going to start selling Scentsy: wickless candles very soon, my launch party is in a little less than 2 weeks, and after that I'll get my own website up and running. So you guys can go to the website once it's up and check out products -and if you want- buy through the website. **Everyone not in North America unfortunately can't buy yet. Scentsy is currently working on products that will fit electrical outlets for everyone not in North America, and they actually have LED light bulbs. It's going to be really cool! I'll let you all know when it comes out** Scentsy is all light bulbs and wax, so there are no fires, soot, smoke or anything bad like that. It makes your entire house smell fabulous and I'm addicted to it! They also have room sprays (one spritz and your room smells wonderful for days, sometimes weeks!), tins for your car, circles for your closets, and much much more!
Anyway that's my news for now :) Love to all! have a great day! Until next time

I can't believe it's Friday already! I mean...I can but still. HAPPY FRIDAY! Do you guys have anything fun lined up for this weekend? My hubby doesn't have to work off-duty tonight so I think we're going on a date :) Saturday is a "Girl Party" with a good group of friends, and Saturday night is my hubby's best man's Birthday. He's having a little bash at his house 1/2 BDay 1/2 Going away (he's leaving for the military) Sunday we might be doing a late birthday with some friends but not sure yet! Just a weekend full of fun and I LOVE that!
So I've been losing every day, but it did slow down a little bit this whole week. While I was ahead this last weekend, I'm now behind a little over a day. But that's okay :) Losing is still losing right?? And I lost a BIG number yesterday which was a good surprise! Way to kick off the weekend right?
T-Tapp is my new love -Shh! Don't tell Cory!- I woke up this morning and my back was bothering me so much. Actually, it hurt so bad i almost didn't do T-Tapp, but I knew I had to so I started anyway and guess what. NO back pain now. I feel amazing. That Primary Back Stretch was exactly what I needed. Anyway I hope you all have an amazing weekend! Until next time :)

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday! How are you all doing? Thanks for the Birthday wishes I had a wonderful day! First of all, a cold front came in late Monday night so it was in the 50s/low 60s all day and it rained! It was wonderful :) That alone would have made my day wonderful, but I also got a lot of love from friends, family and co-workers. I am very blessed to have every one of you in my life and again thank you for being there for me! My hubby got me a gorgeous pair of diamond heart earrings, and when I walked into my office there were flowers! I didn't even know they knew it was my birthday! I went to work with a big smile on my face and a tea in a red starbucks cup! (yay! That means Winter!) After I met up with the in-laws to vote (good job TX!), and a little while later went out to dinner with them and the hubbs! It was really just a nice day :)
I also did VERY well on my diet last night, I am very proud of myself because it was hard! But seeing the next morning that you lost weight is all worth it! T-Tapp today! As soon as I get off here I'm going to do it and I'm excited! I now look forward to my work out days-I'm pretty sure that's not how it normally is :) What's new with all of you? How are you all doing? You are all wonderful! Guess what! I get to wear a jacket today! I love Fall/Winter! :) Until next time!

HAPPY NOVEMBER & HAPPY MONDAY! Once Halloween hits there is always a big smile on my face. November and December are by far my favorite months of the year! You have some wonderful holidays, amazing weather, fun decorations and Christmas music! Love it! :) How did everyone's weekend go? Was everyone safe? Mine was pretty nice! The hubby and I ran some errands early Saturday morning, and pretty much stayed in bed until Sunday afternoon! It was wonderful! Sunday night was spent with the in-laws and it was very nice!
So weight loss is going good still! didn't lose a ton over the weekend but still lost! Today is my first day of T-Tapping every other day. Felt weird not doing it on Sunday so it was nice to get back to it today! Did very well on my diet this weekend and it was so encouraging to have my husband tell me how proud of me he is :) Tomorrow is my 22nd Birthday, so the in-laws are taking us out for dinner! I made sure I got to pick the restaurant and I told them, along with my hubby, what I'm ordering so they'll hold me to it and I won't be tempted to cheat on my diet. I feel very in control right now and I love that, just knowing I'm in control makes me already feel so much better about myself!
I hope you all have a wonderful next couple days! Until next time :)
