husbands/dogs/and mauled turtles! OH MY!

At home it has been very stressful these past few days …

lets see … Friday night my husband and I got into a HUGE argument because I feel he isn’t pulling his weight around the house. …. He isn’t. My house is suffereing because 5 hours out of the Day I am home schooling my daughter and then the rest of the day I am at the mercy of my terrible 2 son who isn’t even 2 yet!

Then yesterday my stupid dog got a hold of our baby turtle. I have no idea how she got into it’s contained area but she did and chewed the crap out of it. It’s still alive … but it has a huge hole on the side of it’s shell. Thank God my mom was here because she’s a vet tech and cleaned it banaged it … sewed it’s poor little foot that was practically chewed off … she’s been alive for a full 24 hours now …. she’s been eating and drinking water … so I hope she’s in the clear. I am hoping and praying that it survives.

Then today my son got a hold of my hubby’s razor … I have no clue how he got it. I put all the sharp dangerous things in locked cabinets. He cut his chin and lip with it. No stitches or anything … but he was bleeding a lot. I gave him a popcicle that seemed to stop the bleeding on his lip and his chin stopped bleeding about 5 minutes after I put the bandage on him.

But that has been my adventures for the past couple of days. My house is a dangerous house. 

I really don’t know what I would have done if my mom wasn’t home yesterday. I’d like to think that I would know what to do.

It’s so funny … when there’s an emergency and if you’re with someone who usually keeps cool you tend to freak out … that’s usually me … I felt like a chicken with my head cut off!

haha the same thing happened when my daughter broke her arm shaped like a U! haha To many crazy things happen when you have a house full of animals and children!

I have only 2 kids … but sometimes I feel like I have 8! If it’s not one thing its another.

Any ways …

I haven’t really been doing much except for walking. I can’t really do anything. I still have burning where my gallbladder used to be. Every time I move a certain way it hurts like hell!! It’s like a quick but painful burning feeling!!

Last week I was pretty naughty. Ate quite a bit of fried foods … but I haven’t gain any weight … yet haha. But I got the fried foods out of my system I don’t want them anymore! haha Now that I CAN eat them … I don’t WANT them! yay!!

Ice Cream … now that’s another story. haha. But I have been good. I usually eat the skinny cow ones ^_^ and I don’t eat it every night. I’ve only had it like twice this week.

Exercise wise I have just been walking. But moderatly. My heel is inflamed… I don’t really know why. We went to Dland for my daughters bday. I’m used to walking that much … and I wore the same shoes so I don’t know. It’s been bothering me for two days.

well that’s pretty much it. Great huh! X0

Well good night everyone!

Selective Vegan But going Vegetarian/except for seafood!

I used to be Vegan. But I’ve noticed a lot of vegan foods have a lot of Fat. So I will not be using those products. What I am not going to use is Butter or Eggs when baking or cooking anything. No more sour cream or yogurt. Because even in fat free dairy products they have junk in them. Nothing natural. I have been eating a lot of vegan dishes because my brother in laws are vegan. But I do want to stay away from meats. Except for fish. I cannot live without it. I’m not a big shellfish type. I’m not into clams or oysters. I DO like shrimp and craw fish! ^_^ But hardly ever eat that. I NEED to eat more fruits and veggies. But I am really picky haha. I do like Melons. Any type of berries… I actually want to go berry picking. Hopefully tomorrow! ^_^

We went up to oak glen yesterday. It was really fun. We went Apple picking.
For my daughters homeschool we are going to go to Riley’s Farm there and get to pick some pumpkins!! ^_^ I can’t wait. Because I always buy honey from our local farms and it is SO GOOD!!!

Well I still don’t feel really comfortable exercising. Like the vigorous activities I used to do. So I have just been walking. That’s really all I can do right now.

I hope soon I will feel better because I want to look really good on Halloween! We are having a big Birthday Party for my Husband [he was born on halloween] and All his friends and family are coming. And the last time everyone saw me WAS at my heaviest so I want to look real good! Hopefully another 10 pounds. That’s why I will be cutting back on sweets.

I have been really bad. I’ve been getting the Pumpkin Spice latte’s at Starbucks. with non fat milk and no whip cream. They are so good! I tell you I am a pumpkin junkie!!

I will be making my own pumpkin pies!! and pumpkin rolls!! I usually use non fat soy cream cheese for the rolls. It comes out delicious!! ^_^

UGH I just wrote a LONG post … and it didn’t even POST!! UGH!!

I don’t even want to rewrite it!!! it took me like 40 minutes to write!! ACK!!

I am back/it has been 2 months. Sorry AGAIN!!//no more gallbladder!!!

Ok so my last update was in july so it’s been two months since I’ve updated. I was doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred EVERYDAY! until recently. Last Wednesday I FINALLY had my gallbladder removed. I was so glad I did it. I was and still am in a lot of pain but it is worth it. I had 60 to 70 gallstones in my tiny little gallbladder. I was surprised that I only had 5 gallbladder attacks in 1 year with 60 to 70 gallstones!!!

Before the surgery I weighed 184 and I weighed myself today and I weigh 178 that’s 6 pounds! in 1 week, and it’s probably due to being on a liquid diet. and maybe because something is missing in my body?? I dunno. But I heard that a lot of people lose a lot of weight after having their gallbladder removed because you’re digestive system runs better because it’s not “sick”

So I will keep those 6 pounds off!!! ^_^

School has started … for my girl. So I’ve been pretty stressed. It’s been hard right now since I can barely move. I’m trying to move but … it’s hard. Haha I had my staples removed yesterday. It didn’t hurt! haha I was dreading that it would.

But yea I am sorry that I haven’t updated. I am really horrible. I should try at least once a week. But I am hardly ever on the computer! ^_^
BuddySlim REALLY needs to make an app for the iphone because I am always on the go.

Ok I promise I will try to update more often!!!

My September goal is to not regain those 6 pounds and to lose another 2 to 3 pounds this month so I will be at my mini goal!!!

I can’t believe I am almost there!!!! ^_^ 10 more pounds after that and I will be at the weight before I had my son!! [almost 2 years ago!! haha]
