Well this is the last day of week 2 with no mistakes. But I tell you, I've had so many temptations this week. I called my mother and jokingly told her I was moving in so no one else could offer me good food. Last thursday my father in law took us to the resteraunt, then the next day they ordered pzones from pizza hut I had my normal routine of scheduled food, then friday was the batman movie which I though was really super, I wouldnt take my kid to it though unless they were like...............13 maybe. Too graphic and violent. But I'm going to be a really protective mom. But movie time I had a huge bottle of water and thats it while DH ate a huge bag of popcorn, soda, and peanut m&ms. Even when I'm not dieting I still dont see how he can stuff all of that in his mouth but oh well. Saturday nothing, and then Sunday our neighbors invited us to their cookout. Normally, this would be a breeze because I dont like most cookout food. But my neighbors are spanish which meant spanish rice, chicken,ribs, and all sorts of great stuff. I couldnt have any! Ughh.. So then Monday, I got to have to slices of pizza finally. I was way to excited because it was over before I know it. Again, I noticed that DH devoured the rest of the pizza and the cheese bread that he ordered for himself. Week three holds a little bit more happiness for me because I get two high days. And pasta, and CHIPS and SALSA, and other great stuff. My weight is at a standstill now though. Which I expected but I was getting use to losing a lb. every day. I'll write tommorow and tell you offically how much I lost in week 2.Hopefully I will be down to 190 before the end of the month because I would love to schedule that week to myself during my birthday but until then I'll just continue to take this weight loss thing day by day. P.S. DH must have noticed how well this diet is doing for me because he just said to day that he needs to lose some weight. I've noticed he does that whenever I start to look good. So I'll take that as a compliment. He's a great guy. I heart him. We still need a lot of improvement but I could imagine anyone else in my life except him.
So today will be my first really big temptation in 1 1/2 weeks. I'm still one my nutrition bootcamp, which means I still have scheduled things and times to eat. Well we are going to go see the new batman movie and I cant have nachos and pepers. No lie, everytime I've gone to see a movie I've always gotten them ever since I tried them for the first time. Sooo....... I dont know what I'm going to do. And as far as drinks... well, I cant have soda. it's one of those things I know I wont get it..but whats a movie without my favorite things?Sooo... oh well. Anyways, as far as the diet, like I said it's 1 1/2 weeks into it still not good stuff, mainly protien, but some rice. I am down 6lbs though from where I started. Actually maybe a little more. I'm not really suppose to lose any weight this week. It's kind of introducing you back to starches and not just protein so my body is adjusting again. But I've lost a lb so thats good. 6 1/2 weeks sounds so far away though. Especially since I cant eat what I want. Plus sides though because that's whats getting me through, I'm proving something, I'm sticking to something, I'm loseing weight, and it doesnt take much for me to be full. We went out to eat the other day with my father in law and I had a salad with chicken and it was too much. I actually stopped eating. Lol.. I looked like a freak though because I brought my cup of broccoli in a bag and my light ranch dressing. My FIL was giving me the biggest stare. It's ok though, he's a nice guy. Sorry I keep trying to stay on here but I dont know where the time goes for me. But I promise you'll see me on here more permanetly soon. Hope all of you are ok.
So I finally got on this diet that really works I did it a while ago and lost something like 17lbs in three weeks? I fell off track though when we went down to Ft. Lauderdale though so I never completed it. Ever since then I've thought about it and even tried it but never made it through the first week. So I ended up starting it again this time deciding that if I cant do it this time and complete 8 weeks than I just cant do it. Then I had a talk with DH and he was kind of expressing how hard it is for him to be supportive because I always jump and always give up. Since our marriage and relationship is still young it made me realize that even though I'm losing weight for me it's would be an extra bonus to show DH that I can follow through with something when I really try. Food commercials plaque me and mexican and taco bell is constantly on my mind. But it's been five days I've already lost 3.6lbs and if TOM comes on time he should be here tommorow! Which means, gasp, I didnt gain any water weight. So, I know this can work. In week 2 I'll be able to have pizza and chicken and veggies stir fry. And I think in week three I can have some fajitas! Soo.. regardless... I'll just keep taking it day by day and doing my best. Take care everyone.
Going green, protecting my baby, and loseing weight.
Sorry this post took so long. I've been really busy and want to make sure I had enough quite time before i attempted this post. First off. Weight is fantastic. I know it's not WI day until Monday but I'm down to 202.8 which means I'm back to 10lbs down. I'm going to wait for monday though because if I report then I'll use it as an excuse to eat more because I have more days to make up for it and that would not be good. So Monday if I'm still down I'll take pictures.This time though, I keep my 10lbs off and just continue to go down. I havent made it to they gym nearly as much as I wanted to this week. Only once. 4th of July was kind of dull, we went home. The normal firework show we'd normally go to was cancelled because of the economy going down. We did go to a chinese buffet yesterday and I did fantastic. I was actually still a little hungry when I left. I felt like I'd rather feel my hunger with a salad later if neccessary than to fill it with extra high calorie foods. But then DH decided he wanted ice cream, which I would have been good if he would have been the one to go get it but since he asked me to I caved in. I did order the medium insted of the large though and was perfectly happy with that and still not stuffed. But yet, I still could have lived without the ice cream. So the scale did show a gain today but it was gasp, less than a pound. I know no gain is a good one but normally in this situation I would have gained like at least 2lbs. So that's that. I've done great so far and I hope to get some exercises in. So on to the next subject.
So about my new job. Basically I work for melaleuca.com. It's a website that is totally green. Produces its product green, the products themselves are totally natural and clean for you, and most imptortantly the are safe for my daughter and that makes me totally excited. But the website got their name because a lot of their products involve melalecua oil which is a tree oil that is better than aloe vera and works better than aloe vera, is healthy for your hair and skin. The actually to a big chunk of their sales to customers for dry skin or eczema because it works so good. They also sell cleaning products, vitamins, and make up. The make up is from Nicole Miller. When you become a preffered customer you get all your products at a discount and they have an arrangement worked out with UPS where it basically makes the total cost either the same or cheaper for me to go to the store and get it myself. So that's why I'm excited because I get these great everyday products that I can use that are healthier for me and I am helping the enviroment all at the same time. Lol.. sorry if I sound like an info commercial. I'm just really really really excited that I found this. Now basically what I do to work for them is just introduce people to their website and get them enrolled. Now normally I am totally against this. But I truley believe in what I'm refering to people and I'm not trying to sell anything. It's totally up to them if they want to buy the preffered customer program or do the same thing I'm doing. There is a 20 minute conference call that we invite them to for them to get more information and then they decide. I'm totally ok with not getting someone enrolled and I'm not scamming people so I'm happy. Either way, I'll keep shopping with them because I feel good about it and what I'm doing and it's healthier. so that's it, thats my new job. I wont talk about it every day. Probably just every now and again just incase someone is intrested as a consumer or worker.
Oh btw...just incase you are intrested I'll include these websites for you:
Well that's it for now. I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July and everyone is safe. Take care and I'll try coming on later tonight to catch up with everyone.
hey guys, sorry I havent posted yet. just been really busy. Trying to get my routine together. i did sign up with Work at Home United. Hopefully I'll get on here tommorow to explain what its about to make sure your not intrested. I feel really good about the company I'm with. I am kind of enrolling people but obviously its if they want it and it's not about enrolling othe team mates its also about them learning about a website that has all green safe products. So I feel good and I feel like the people know exactly what they are getting. The best thing I can relate it to is like Party Lite or Tupperware where you can either join and buy products or you can make it a career. But like I said I'll explain it hopefully all tommorow. I know its going to be hard but I feel good knowing that who I am working for is legit, they are awesome products, and I'm doing my part to be green. So talk to you girls tommorow.
as funny enough as this is going to sounds, I find it discouraging that when I lose my weight I see less calories burned during my work out session. My mom keeps asking me if I'm serious because I am losing weight and I should be thrilled about that. I'm not losing it very fast but, hey what are you going to do. But for some reason I just find it discouraging when I see the number of calories burned and it's less. Lol.. it's kinda like I tell myself its not as good as it once was or something. I dunn...(shrugs shoulders) I'm weird sometimes. Anyways, I have a lot to catch up on but just can never seem to find the time to do it. I am looking into an at home job tonight. So hopefully it's not a scam. I'll try to report back tommorow. I'm down to 203.8. I finally got a camera so I'll take a progress picture when I get 202. Still in that constant struggle to get my life organized while taking care of myself, and taking care of my family. Still havent figured out what works for me. Just have to keep trying. Every day I believe a little more that it's not when we falter but it's just the fact that we keep going with this journey. That's truley succeeding because if we keep trying even after all our oops we are going to get there. Even our weight coming of as slow as a turtle. Take care.
work from home. I would really like to start making an income but it seems like everything is a big scam. I wouldnt mind paying for training or what not but I just want to make sure its legit. So now on to my current problem. Lol.. I know I'm full of them. Since I've moved to FL I havent made any friend. Nadda zip. I desperatley want someone to talk to to go have girl time with. I never get out so I dont really get a chance to meet anyone. I'm starting to feel as if I dont know how to communicate anymore. when I talk to non-family. I feel like everything I'm saying is completly stupid. I dont know how to get past this and its driving me crazy. I look for mommy groups all the time but never seem to find any. Does anyone know a good place to look. I've been so on point the past two days it scary and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hungry. I better love my scale on Monday. It explains why I'm going crazy just sitting here. Eating use to be my past time. Now I'm trying to do everything in my past time to forget it. And all I can think about it.... well crap, I didnt have to do any of this in highschool. Ate till my eyeballs could have popped off and was a skinny muscly little girl ARGHHHH..... food food food.... see why I need to find a job or some friends to pass the time. LOL. Until then I will be on here a lot more to subside the cravings. Take care.
Cable is back on and I have an added bonus to lose weight. My mom told me if I got down to 190 by September she would watch DD for a whole week. Now grant it, I have mixed emotions about her being gone that long but for the most part its going more like HECK YA.... and FREEDOM. Lol.. does that make me a bad mom. So to make that goal I absolutley positively can not get off track. I was finally back at the gym for me yesterday and it absolutley kicked my booty. Kinda worried about all the EPers its kind of like we are fading away. I guess summer has quite a bit to do with it. I miss reading all of your blogs so dont go away ok? Anyways, as for me I dont have much to talk about. I'll be back on tommorow though. I need to go play my wii fit for the night.
Thank you for all your responses to me last email. I dont have much time to explain because I'm over my moms for her birthday. Our cable has been out for a few days now because night after night we've had horrible thunderstorms. And I guess a few nights ago the cable decided it had enough. So hopefully that will be back on soon. I've basically been maintaing which I dont mind. I've dropped all that extra weight that I gained from my few days of depression indulging this week so I guess thats good. Now I just need to get this week past me and look towards a brighter future. But that's it for now, like I said, mom's birthday so I dont want to spend too much time on here. But I will catch up with all of you as soon as my cable starts behaving again.
I didnt realize how long it had been since I wrote. Hope I ddint make anyone nervous. Had a really tough time this weekend with the inlaws. And then Tuesday when we were finally home TOM came. SO i've been super tired and SUPER hungry. It's like it was before I was on BC. Soo I dont know what to do. These past two days have been horrible food and exercise wise and I'm just going to get back on track tommorow and just stick to my allowed points. I dont know how many flex points I've used but just to be safe I'm going to go the rest of the week as if I'm not allowed flex points. I've kind of secretly been upset with my husband latley too so that probably dosent help. Secretly because I dont know. I just usually dont share my feelings in hopes they will go away plus its kind of embaressing for me to talk about. Sorry if this gets to personal but I'm writing hopeing that if someone might read they might tell me this is normal or something? DH and I are soon to be 23 and 24. we have a 20 month daughter and we like never have private moments to put it nicely. Maybe once every three weeks? I think a lot of it has to do with scheduling. He's awake at night and I'm awake during the day plus we are both exhausted at the end of our days. But I dont know, being so young I just think something isnt right. The fact that he never even asks just makes it seem as if I'm not good at or private moments or he just plain doesnt want me. It's really starting to bother me. I try to drop hints like "yeah, who needs birth control when we only have __ once a month." Or something along those lines. I really dont think I can bring it up right now because the first thing that would pop out would be something like" how am I suppose to feel when a man doesnt ever want his wife." And I know that would be the wrong way to start it. But needless to say its getting me down. But I'll write later about the disney trip which was aweful! I just dont even want to get into it right now. Take care everyone.
So I'll take that as a compliment. He's a great guy. I heart him. We still need a lot of improvement but I could imagine anyone else in my life except him.
Anyways, as far as the diet, like I said it's 1 1/2 weeks into it still not good stuff, mainly protien, but some rice. I am down 6lbs though from where I started. Actually maybe a little more.

So, I know this can work. In week 2 I'll be able to have pizza and chicken and veggies stir fry. And I think in week three I can have some fajitas! Soo.. regardless... I'll just keep taking it day by day and doing my best. Take care everyone.
