Diagnosis ~~ Finally!

A few of you who have been with my blog for awhile may remember that my youngest son is a handful.
So much so that he was asked to leave a few preschools and when he started Kindergarten he spent everyday until recently in the principals office.

I have been fighting an uphill battle with many roadblocks to find out what is going on with him.

He's such a cutie:

But my Lord, that kid can wear you out.

Long story short, we saw a pediatric neurologist today.
She diagnosised him.

ADD/ADHD

Something I have said for years.
Yes.
You read that right...Years.
It's been at least 2.5 that we have been waging this war to get some help.

Would have been closer to 3 but his first daycare felt it not necessary to mention anything to me about his behavior until his last day when she got a bit nasty in her comments.

Whatev!

So now we know.
Now we work on helping him focus.

It's still going to be an uphill battle but for now a small hill has been conquered.

Update, Update, Update

Things always sound better in threes.

Hence

Update, Update, Update.

No?

Let's get the nitty gritty shall we.

I let you all know I started Weight Watchers.

I had to.

This is a pretty typical pic of my at my desk at work.

I'm not kidding.

My dad is the candy dealer at work & until two weeks ago I kept the candy on my desk.

Mindless eating was an understatement.

I have since moved the candy to the back of the department where I would have to get up off my fat tush & walk to get it.

God forbid!

Actually, it's working pretty well because out of sight, out of mind.

I am happy to report that last night was my second weigh in.

I lost over 5lbs for the second week.

Grand total:

7.8lbs

Woo.

Granted it's like a cup of water out of the Atlantic but I would rather lose that than find it.

KWIM?

It's definitely a struggle to eat the right things.

I can eat whatever I want

BUT

What I like about Weight Watchers is it makes you think.

Like, hey I can have this cremed filled donut for 14 points

OR
I can have this bowl of strawberries with whipped creme & a cherry on top for 5points.

It's all about choices.

Now I am hopefully making the right choices.

In all aspects of my life.

We shall see.

Caio!

Did I give you permission to grow up?

I'm not really sure when my baby:

Decided to grow up.

He lost his second tooth today.

Now he is missing both bottom front teeth.

I'm heartbroken.

Vlog ~ How do you say my name?

It's Outta Here

That's how I like to refer to me stepping on the scale last night.
The numbers ran so high, it was a homerun outta the park.


Good times!
Good times!


Seriously, my idol is:

Really? Who doesn't love Miss Piggy?

I've loved her from when I was little and had Miss Piggy sheets on my bed.
I'll let you in on a secret, I only gave those sheets up when they became thread bear...I was 29.

Ahem.

Getting back to the scale.
Since I was pushing maximum density I decided it was time to do something.

I joined Weight Watchers.

I did it before. Lost 50lbs.
I now have over a 100 to lose.

I know, hard to believe, since I am sure you all thought I was built like Jennnifer Lopez.
No nip slips here tho.
Keep those girlies covered.

I do get a lot of points
&
I can still eat my fav thing for breakfast...it's not as many points as I thought.
Yea!
For those that want to know, it's a WaWa Pancake Sizzli.
Yummers!

So I am going to need your motivation, your cheering, so please, if you feel so inclined, leave me some encouragement.

I'm getting tired of being harpooned down the shore!

....Update....

Pink tint hides a multitude of sins, doesn't it.
I think that's why pink is my signature color!!!


That little guy in the pic with me.
He is down for the count...with the stomach virus.


It's gross...not gonna lie.
I have a new found respect for the Nana.


Hopefully he will be the only one that gets it.
Poor kid.
He doesn't understand & keeps telling me he's sorry.


At least he didn't pray to Jesus to make it stop like myself.
I was little.
It's all I knew.


On a better note see this good looking kid:

He got a job!
The angels are singing & that's why NJ is having the weather it's having. :>)


He is a dishwasher/busboy at a local restaurant.  Works weekends & so far, the owner loves him!
Now if we could just get him to do dishes at home.  LOL


What is going on in your neck of the woods?
