I feel great! I am down 19.5 lbs...... I am less cranky and I am feeling good. My knees dont hurt ANY WHERE NEAR as much as they used to. My migraines are all but gone. My hips, back and joints dont hurt like they used to....
Im ready to to the actuall work out portion of my weight loss... No I wont be able to jump right into the heavy jumping and the over the top work outs.. but I will be able to do more then I was doing before. AND the best part when i have pain it will be from the work out not because if the work out. If that doesnt make sense
Normally what happends is that I try and work out and because of all the problems I have I hurt bad.. And so I stop working out and it hurts for several days... Now I should hurt in the muscles and the be sore from actually getting to work out...
So any ways, I feel great and hope that I am becomeing someone I can be proud of and my family can be proud of .
I am so proud of my boys and my husband I want to look like I belong with them..
So another weeek down and 2 more to go... This isnt easy.. But anything in life worth doing is worth working for...
I can do this and I can keep it off!!!!!!! I know I can!!!!!

I did a NO NO
No not the new hair removal system..lol I did a no no because I ate a bowl of cereal..:(
It wasnt in my list of foods to eat.. And I had an allergic reaction to it.. Im not sure what part I am allergic to, but the roof of my mouth became uncrontollably itchy. My lips swelled slightly and around my mouth was itchy and red...
So even though Im sad that I broke the rules of my diet I am happy to finally know something that I seem to have an allergy to.
I have soent many years uncomfortable and itchy and not knowing why I have had doctors just pass over my issues , like weight gain, joint pain, asthma thats uncrontrolled by normal methods, mood swings at a drop of a hat, and thats just the ones I remember.
So now that I have gone back on my diet the mood swings are still here but I am hoping they will go away again. And now I have 1 more peice to the puzzle.. Let me just say that when you have doctors who think your a hypo, you begin to believe you are a hypo too.
My family believed I was a hypo.
Since begining htis diet, most of my pain has gone away. And most of my mood swings have gone. ( with the exception of the 1st week)
So even though I am down 14.5 lbs I am still struggling with know what got me to the point I was. A large part has to be what I put in my mouth..
I hope I can still find a good balance of food once I am done with my diet.

Start of week 3
I have lost a grand total of 13.5 lbs and 15.5 inches overall. I'm so excited to watch this weight just FALL off of me!
This is a wonderful growing experience. I have a Doctor helping me with this and I love that i have this opportunity to get the weight off in a ALL around change..
It has taught me what the true meaning of discipline is. It has taught me how strong self control can be. And how hard it is to exercises self control.
I will not say that every day has been easy but I will say that with each chocolate bar resisted, with each soda not drank, with each food I put in my mouth I am learning something about myself. I CAN do this and ANYTHING else I put my mind to.. I am strong! I am able to let go of some control... And when I ate before the diet started I was a slave to my food cravings. Not eating to survive....Surviving to eat what ever I wanted. I was not disciplined but I am working on it now... I will come away from this a better person on many different levels. I will come away from this a strong person!

Happy Happy day!
I was rudely awoken this morning by my loving husband.. Well not rudely. He was very kind about waking me up. I say rudely because I did not want to wake up. I have noticed with this diet that My rash around my mouth seems pretty bright. And I have a small rash on each shoulder. Neither are truely bothersome,other then my face is visable if I dont have makeup on.
Luckly I can cover up the one on my face and that makes me happy! I was hopeing that I would have been able to have eleviated that rash because I have elliminated so many foods and drinks from my diet. Well it may be that we need to do some allergy testing after all is said and done.
I will have to say that I truely feel happy.. Not that giddy happy that you get when you are about to go some where or do something youve been planning for a long time. But that deep down inside happy where Im not waking up angry, Im not bitting everyones heads off when they talk to me. I am actually pleasant to be around.(I hope, I feel like I want to be around my family more)
So I woke up this morning to have 1.5 lbs gone AGAIN! This diet rocks ! Its not easy but I have such a big reward almost every morning that it makes all the suffering worth it. And truely I am not suffering as much as you would think on a 500 callorie a day diet. Its all in my head not my tummy. I feel wonderful. My stomach doest create that muffin top it has been doing for so long. and My legs are slimming down. My arms are slimming down. I know this may sound wierd.. but the only part Im upset about loosing is my chest. When I lost all my baby weight after having Brady I was nothig but skin. And that doesnt fit well in clothes. But even if that happens (which its so far the only part of my body that hasnt changed..yeah) It will be worth it. Because I will be healthy and LOOK wonderful!
Im so excited to see what comes off tomorrow!

The New and Improved Julie
So I have been very uncomfortable with my weight gain over the past few years. And I will admit I have tried alot of diet programs and I have lost steam because I dont get the results I want I am working my BUTT off (obviously not litterally)and just winding up hurting so bad I complain and dont do it again and gain back everything I lost..:(
Well I started a NEW diet that is very strick..VERY STRICK! But it is helping in many ways.
1.) instant gratification which is ALWAYS good...
2.)Helps me figure out what foods I am allergic to without paying hundreds of dollars for special allergy panels.
3.) Im NOT hungry! That is by far the best part or the diet..(besides the weight loss)
4. ) In 1 week I have lost 8lbs and 9 1/2 in over my entire body.
So having said that I know it sounds great and where can I get into this. I was so easily upset this past week Im not sure any of my family is really talking to me right now. Yesterday I felt crappy when I woke up and I fell great now. I went to my drs appt and found out how much I had lost and how surprised she was that I had lost that much made me feel like it was all worth it.
This is called the HCG diet. And its expensive but my dr is helping me with the billing of my insurance. The life style change and the weight loss is worth it all.
I will say that I didnt realize how much "food" was apart of my life. Even though I am not hungry physically; mentally is another story. Its almost like quiting smoking again. I want the food when i see it. It makes me a angry when I see people over indulging. And I am peeing like a race horse! I have to give up soda completely and I have to drink 1 gallon of water a day !Its alot of water when you dont drink as much as you should! lol
It makes me angry to watch people eat food that looks better then mine. Not better in the sense that its better for you, but better in the sense that is covered in some kind of sauce, has more then 2 items on the plate and looks yummy! I know that I am working towards a better ME and I feel great knowing that my body is going to be healthy and working right. I will not exclude all those "yummy" foods for ever. But they will come in small quantities and very rarely. Life is all about balance and I am working towards balance.
This week is much easier the last week. I felt raring to go yesterday after my apt. And today even though I was tired upon waking I am feeling quite good now.
I will use this blog to vent and share all of my loss. Once I am said and done I will post my before and after pictures.

New Place to call home
We have found our next and hopefully for a long while home. We love almost every aspect of this home. I will post pictures after we have decorated! It even comes with some added characters "turtles"! We share a back yard with 6 red ear sliders and we think they may have been hiding an laying eggs. I guess only time will tell
Rosevelt lake
While the boys are in Utah with their wonderful Uncle Jared and Aunt Hollie, Jason and I took Evan on a ride to Roosevelt's lake. It took us about an hour and half maybe 2 hours to get there but the water was full of choppy waves and warm "bath" like water. The beach we stopped at is full of sand and rocks so we definitely need shoes the next time. But over all we had a wonderful time and cant wait to go back with the older boys and see if the water is the same. Here are some pictures.

Today; can I go back to bed and start it over again!?
Today has just begun and I have a feeling it Will just continue in the pattern that's already laid out before me.
6:30 am woke up late.( not so good)
6:50 Jacob shows up.(good)
7:00 Evan wakes up.(good)
7:05 Evan demands to be fed.( not so good)
7:15 Evan is being very obnoxious and messing with everyone.(no good)
8:00 Evan takes a toy from Jacob, I got on to him and spanked his butt for yelling at me.(bad)
8:15 Evan gets sent to time out for telling me " I wish I didn't have a mommy, I hate you."(very bad)
8:30 mom is sad and feeling very bad.(very bad)
So now Evan has gotten up from time out ad is doing better and said he was sorry. I'm not convinced he meant it. But I am feel less sad.(good)
I'm already getting over it, but it hurt my feelings this time. Normally I get "mom I hate you" or "Mom i don't want to be your friend" But this is a first for "I wish didn't have a mommy."
I know in my heart and head that hes a little boy and all little children need to find an outlet when they get angry. But how can I teach him the best way for him to release without showing him how much it hurts when he says such mean things? I'm good at hiding my emotions.... even as I type that i know its a lie. I'm not good at hiding my emotions with my kids..
I guess parent hood is never what you thought it would be.And I need to not be so sensitive! I love my boys but they do know how to hurt a person.
I love my boys and hope that they can become sensitive men and be more understanding of peoples feelings. But I think I will work with the older two for now, I dont have as much time with them....
Well thanks for reading, I do feel much better getting these sad feeling off my chest..

Happy New Year
Well it has been a wild year. We have had some ups and some downs. But all in all we have had a wonderful year. We all rang in the New Year by going to sleep before midnight. Well at least Jason and Evan and I did. Brady and Garett were up well past midnight and loved it!
So lets recap this past year:
Brady and Garett are home schooled and I am loving having them home. They participate in a one day a week class room program that has been run through our local PATHWAY charter school. Brady will be 15 in about a month and has been teaching himself guitar and really loving it. And every once in awhile I here actual notes. It wonderful seeing him have a passion for new things. He draws allot; mostly graffiti type drawing but he is very good at what hes been doing. He helps me out daily and I have really learned how important my oldest son is too me. He is turning into a wonderful young man. He has also made the choice to become more active in church he goes to seminary and hes reminding me when its time to leave. Hes going to to church and even when I don't feel like getting ready for church and going ; he is ready to go without me asking him. He really makes me want to be a better example to him, instead of the other way around. He is a GREAT young man.
Garett is now 13 years old and doing very well with school this year. He has gone above and beyond with most of his work.( I couldnt be more proud of him) We had a rough start to this year but he quickly turned it around and is making the most of his school time. He has also found a passion for music but his is a bass; also self taught. He has been focusing on drawing on every piece of paper he can get his hands on. Even after hes been asked not to use my printer paper. so for Christmas he was given two note pads for drawing, hes very talented. (so far my printer paper is safe..lol) he had been skate boarding and helping Evan get over his fear of the trampoline. He is also turning into a WONDERFUL young man. We are planning on sending him to Pathway school next school year.
Evan is turning 4 in about a month and we are very excited to say that this is his first RSV season when he hasn't gotten sick ( knock on wood!!!) We have never gone this long without him getting even a little sick. I decided to teach Evan at home this year(pre-school). He knows more then 25 words and can count to 10 in sign language. He knows his letters by sight and sound. He knows most of his shapes and he can count to 10 without any ones help. He loves to sing songs with me in the car his favorites being "I'm Bringing Home A Baby Bumble Bee" and "How Much is That Dogie in The Window". And I'm afraid that the rest of the family probably could do without the songs. Evan is a wonderfully creative, imaginative, full of life, never sits still, keeps me on my toes kind of boy. He always makes me laugh and amazes almost hourly most days.
Jason has been working an incredible shift 5am - 1pm. It may sound a little extreme from his old shift, but we have had more "family" time then ever before and that is AWESOME! He also is taking Saturday and Sunday off and going to church as a family has been more of a present then anything birthday, Christmas or anniversary combined. I love that man of mine!
I can't even begin to tell you how AMAZING the boys/men in my life are. They challenge me, thrill me, confuse me, astound me, love me, and keep me on my toes. So as you can see I never have a dull moment. I LOVE MY LIFE! I hope you loved hearing about it. I will try and keep up on my blog from here on out.
Love, the GRAHAM FAMILY edited by Julie Graham

Evans crayolla toes
Evans "crayon toes"
Evan crying over spilled crayons...I took Jacob up the stairs and laid him down and turned and walked away. I locked doors on my way back down the stairs so if Evan went upstairs he could not get into anything. This is what I came down the stairs to find less then a minute after walking away from him.

How about Orange?
So these last few weeks I have been feeling very overwhelmed with my children. It was spring break and we stayed at home. Evan is on this new kick where he has to talk non stop 24/7 and it was cute at the beginning. like two weeks ago. Also he has become very violent with his older brothers; especially while we are in the car. And Garett takes the brunt of his attacks.
So while we are in the car a few days ago hes in rare form and I have reached my stimulation quota for the week. I blurted out without thinking " Evan if you don't knock it off right now, I am gonna beat your butt black and blue." He stopped and for like 30 seconds I thought I had gotten my point across. When Evan comes back at me with "Hmmm....... how about Orange?" I said "what" and could not contain my laughter. So instead of a black and blue butt, he wanted an orange one. I could not have defused that situation better if I had tried. He is going to be the death of me with his Evan-ness but at least I will be laughing the whole time.
love you all hope all is well for you.

Christmas
Well Christmas this year was different. Not bad but very different. Did you know that almost EVERYTHING in the Phoenix area is closed on Christmas day other then Walgreens and Dennys?Well its true and we found out the hard way. ( oh yeah the movie theaters are alos open)
We had a day full of fun planned; I did not call to make sure. I went off of the information given off of there web sites. For those of you who would like to do what we attempted this year the only advise I can give you would be CALL to make sure no matter what the web site says.
Despite the hang ups we had we had a wonderful Christmas.
We went to Dennys instead of all of the other things we had planned.Here are some pictures; enjoy

Evan the Hyper
Evan the Hyper goes running through the house on a rampage. He loves to run and play and jump and scream and drive everyone else a little crazy. Its not because he has a lot of excess sugar.It's not because he does not get exercise. Its not because he is not loved as much as any other little boy. Its because he has his daddy's jeans.
Evan starts every after noon nap the same, He takes a little while playing on his bead and looking at books and then falling asleep,he then gets up and has a snack. He takes a little bit of time waking up and then a switch turns on and "Evan the Hyper" is off and running. There is no stopping him, there is no slowing him down. There are only different degrees of "Evan The Hyper". Fast walking, a slow run and then a full on run; Almost a blur.
Evan runs from one room to the next. Evan can't walk any where he goes he has to run.
His mommy asked him on day " Evan why are you so hyper all of the time." Evan answers while he is jumping up and down " Mommy after my nap I turn into "Evan the hyper." His mommy laughed out loud and walked away.
Evans Big brother Garett asked "Evan why are you so hyper all of the time?" Evan replied as he ran from room to room" I am Evan the hyper, and I can run all day long."
Evans dad asked him next " Evan why are you so hyper all time?" Evan turned to look at his daddy with great joy in his eyes and said " Daddy I am "Evan the Hyper" and I can run all day long if I want to."
Evans oldest brother Brady came in and sat down next to where Evan started running and just sat down. Evan saw Brady sitting down and being still and wondered what was so special about sitting still. Brady seemed to like what he was doing so Evan sat down next to Brady and put his hand on Brady's leg and began to sit still. Evan looked at Brady and asked him " Brady why do you sit still? " Brady looked at Evan and said with the sweetest voice" Evan I used to be "Brady the Hyper" until I learned how great it was to be still and enjoy the quiet."
Evan looked at him and decided o give it a try and "Evan the hyper" began to look at being Evan the Quiet".
The end
I did this quickly . I just keep seeing this boy do things that I cant explain how and why he does them. I hope you guys get some enjoyment out of them I feel like this is a good therapy session when I Can make Evans crazy and weird traits into something funny.Like maybe just maybe I can make to the next day. So here's to taking it one day at a time and hoping you enjoy my short stories about Evan.

A story
A TALE OF EVAN THE DIRTY
Evan had a bath every night before going to bed . But something strange happened every night between the time his mom put him in bed and the time his mom got him out of bed. Every morning he woke up dirty.
One morning Evans mom asked him " Evan , how do you get so dirty while you are sleeping?"
Evan looked up at his mother and said with a huge smile on his face "mommy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY every night so I can fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy.
His mother patted his head and said " Wow, you do ALL that when you are sleeping; you are a very busy boy.."
Evan got another bath the night before going to bed and woke up the next morning dirty again.This time it was dad who went to get him up. He looked at Evan and asked " didn't you get a bath last night?" Evan looked at him straight in the face and said "Yup." Dad still puzzled asked " Evan, how do you get so dirty when you are sleeping?"
Evan replied with great joy " Daddy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy." Dad laughed out loud and said "Yes it would seem so."
That night Evan played in the tub before getting ready for bed.
The next morning Brady, Evan big brother, got him up and saw again that he was dirty.
" Evan what did you do after you bath last night ransack the cupboards?"
Evan looked at his big brother with great joy and said " No, I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy."
Brady said " Oh, OK what ever Mr. dirty." Evan looked at his big brother with hurt in his eyes. He did not get it." I am not Mr. dirty I am EVAN THE DIRTY!" he turned and walked away.
Evan had another bath that night . He played with bubbles and toys and even managed to splash his mom on the way out of the tub. She helped him get ready for bed.
The next morning his other big brother Garett got him up and didn't say a thing to Evan. He just had a little smile on his face.
Evan puzzled looked at him and asked " Garett are you going to ask me how I get so dirty while I am sleeping?" Garett knelt down beside Evan and whispered in his ear " No, I used to be GARETT THE DIRTY. I know why you are dirty." Evan looked Garett in the face. With this new information Evan laughed and laughed and laughed. He was after all EVAN THE DIRTY..
THE END
Evan had a bath every night before going to bed . But something strange happened every night between the time his mom put him in bed and the time his mom got him out of bed. Every morning he woke up dirty.
One morning Evans mom asked him " Evan , how do you get so dirty while you are sleeping?"
Evan looked up at his mother and said with a huge smile on his face "mommy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY every night so I can fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy.
His mother patted his head and said " Wow, you do ALL that when you are sleeping; you are a very busy boy.."
Evan got another bath the night before going to bed and woke up the next morning dirty again.This time it was dad who went to get him up. He looked at Evan and asked " didn't you get a bath last night?" Evan looked at him straight in the face and said "Yup." Dad still puzzled asked " Evan, how do you get so dirty when you are sleeping?"
Evan replied with great joy " Daddy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy." Dad laughed out loud and said "Yes it would seem so."
That night Evan played in the tub before getting ready for bed.
The next morning Brady, Evan big brother, got him up and saw again that he was dirty.
" Evan what did you do after you bath last night ransack the cupboards?"
Evan looked at his big brother with great joy and said " No, I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy."
Brady said " Oh, OK what ever Mr. dirty." Evan looked at his big brother with hurt in his eyes. He did not get it." I am not Mr. dirty I am EVAN THE DIRTY!" he turned and walked away.

I am sorry
I have not been a very good person as of late and I have said things and done things I am not proud of. I have been a horrible mother, daughter,sister and wife. I am unsure why I was given the few blessings that i have been given. Because I can think of so many more people who so much more deserving.
I will have to face my demons now. I given myself little choice in the matter.
I can only hope that those of you whi I have affected in anyway shape of form (badly) can some day find it in your hearts not to hate me. I dont expect to be forgiven for my actions. But please dont hate me forever.
I deserve all the paina nd suffering I have caused myself. And so everyone who reads this knows, I will be seeking out profesional help as soon as I can.
I only hope its not too late to repair some of the damage I have caused all my way.
I am truly sorry to all of you I have hurt.

I am very happy now
I spoke with my husband and my children about this new tradition i was wanted to make for our family and they are ALL for it!!! I could not be prouder!! I feel a great sense of peace that I have a family that is willing to make these changes with a happy and enjoyable attitude. I was afraid I would wind up having to drag them through this and make them have fun before they realized what a blessing we would be giving ourselves.
I could not be more proud of ALL of my boys!!
I love them so much I can not begin to explain how my heart swelled with pride at there reactions to this up coming change!!! I am sooooo very proud to be a part of my family!!!!
Love You
(Now the hard part breaking to Grandma that we wont be around on Christmas day. Sorry mom, we need to do this for us.)
