I have discovered that the type of diet that I am on is called a whole food diet. (I think that is what they said) Nothing packaged, or processed or artificial. I feel better this way, I don't feel like I am eating crap.. I only eat fresh fruits and veggies, and eat chicken from my parents farm that is free range.. The only thing I eat that is processed right now is Egg beaters Whites only.. I know I should be separating the eggs myself, but I can't bear to throw out the yolks..I don't like to waste, lol.
I hate watching my family eat "crap" or what I deem to be crap.. They eat so much processed food, but none of them seem to care.. The toddler actually likes my chicken and likes to eat the lettuce from my salads, but even she is drawn into the fat and sugar laden foods that her older sister and father eat..
I have started making them Frozen stuff to reheat while I am at work. The first thing I tried was spaghetti sauce. I made it with extra lean ground beef, mushrooms, green peppers, garlic, onions, tomatoes and their favorite spaghetti sauce, put it in the slow cooker and when it was all blended together I put it into freezer bags for them to heat up later. They really liked it and I am going to do it again, but I am going to try adding more veggies and using ground turkey instead.. They love hamburger helper too, so I thought they could use the turkey there too.. I would like to switch to whole wheat pasta too, but I heard that it is hard to get used to, and I don't want them to spit it out and not eat at all.. I might make them a meatloaf with turkey too, I don't know.. I like the idea that they are eating a little better while I am at work..
My true period finally showed up like a tidal wave, I know TMI, but since I came off the pill I swear I almost bleed to death 2 days a month!! I have having bowel issues, haven't gone again in a couple of days.. it will come soon.
I am not weighing myself until Monday because I have had a couple of hiccups in my weight loss road the last couple of days. I want to go work out at the Y, but I need to get new shoes first.
Rambling today, oh well. Wanna try spaghetti squash "Spaghetti" this weekend, I am curious to how it tastes..
Gonna go lie down, crampy and sore. Walked into a wall (yes, I said I walked into it), and whacked my elbow really hard. I was trying to walk and put my hair up, and walked into the edge of a cement doorway. I have a huge bruise on my elbow and it is so tender right now!! And no, I am not blonde, just accident prone..
So I am right back down to 222. I finally got my full blown period and I pooped!! Yay!! I am really enjoying my egg white omelettes in the morning. We went swimming last night and I used the water weights almost the entire time we were there (only about 45 minutes before hubby started whining). It was understandable, his whining, though, it was "Youth Night" at the Y. The pool was PACKED full of young teens and they were loud and giggly and obnoxious. I have so much to look forward to, NOT!! I am just glad the my oldest, who is 12, is not one of those show-offy girls.. the ones who flaunt themselves, and who are loud. She is a beautiful girl, tall and willowy, dark hair and eyes, who caries herself with grace around other people. Get her at home though, and she is a burping farting piggy.. But my point is that she knows how to behave in public.. The moment that changes I will personally kick her hiney..
Well, I knew I would be up today which is kind of what I wanted. I had a yummy egg white omelette mushrooms and red onions. Today will be right on track and hopefully I will lose weight and maybe even poo!! Can't wait until my period is over!! I bet as soon as it is over I will poo out a 10 lb poo!! LMAO
My oldest asked me to make cupcakes for her class for a Valentines Day thingy.. Anyways, I said sure, no big deal, got out my book of Cupcake recipes, and she picks Chocolate cupcakes, with molten chocolate centers, marshmallow frosting with shaved chocolate on top... YUM!!!! I might treat myself to one, just one (I could eat a whole bunch I bet!!) Making 48 of them right now!!
Ok, I had one, actually not that great, and then I had 2 pieces of make at home pizza. I decided to up fat and calories tonight and hope that jump starts me.
I hate the number 222 right now. I have been there for 4 or 5 days now. It is all because of TOM too, I know it, because I have stuck faithfully to my diet. It is really pissing me off!! I am hoping that this number changes soon. And I am thinking I might need to eat something bad soon, maybe it will help me kick start my weight loss again.. Not a binge day or anything. Just a burger or something a little higher in calories and fat, to kick start me again. I will give it a couple of days and see.
The girl that I work with every night in the kitchen has noticed my weight loss the last week or so, but a nurse from upstairs noticed that I had lost weight and told me I was doing a great job. It wasn't even someone I am friends with, so I was really happy and surprised when she noticed and said something.
Stuck at 222 lbs, thanks to TOM. It always constipated me, so I hold on to the weight for a couple of days, drives me nuts!! In a couple days, my weight will drop a couple of pounds and fix itself. I have tried stool softeners (not Ex-Lax or anything harsh) and lots of water, so will have to just wait it out.
Good News, I am down a size, I am now is a loose XL. At Christmas, my oldest got me a new Scrub shirt in an XL. I could put it on, but it was tight, and I wouldn't wear it like that, but I wore it work yesterday and it was loose. I wore it with pants a friend gave to me in an XL as well, that were too tight a couple of months ago. The last time I dieted I got down to a tight medium, so hopefully I will be able to pass that this time!!
I just noticed on my BMI tracker on my homepage that I am 13lbs from being "overweight" instead of "obese". When I tell someone that I am clinically obese, they find it hilarious, because at 5'10" tall I don't look obese to anyone..
I need to get some good MP3's for walking. I am going to start when it warms up. I would honestly probably prefer to be fat than walk in the cold. I hate the cold. I know I live in Canada, but my ass prefers warmer climates. I just haven't found one that doesn't have poisonous bugs, snakes, humidity, flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes or anything like that. Hawaii might be nice, but I have been told that it is incredibly expensive to live there. Oh well, when I win the lottery, then I will take all my relatives and move somewhere fantastic and warm!!
Nothing new today, lost another pound, even after my spaghetti dinner, so I am really happy. 28 lbs down. I hope to never see them again. I wanted Dil Pickle chips really badly last night, and my hubby told me "You had your popcorn, you don't need chips." So no chips for me!!
My toddlers grumpiness is subsiding since being on the medication for the ear infections. Mind you she is very grumpy to begin with. Very bossy and loud. I don't know why. My oldest wasn't like that..
My neighbor had a baby girl yesterday, Kayden, she was 5 lbs, 14 oz. Soo tiny!!
We are going to see them today when they get home. Mine were 8.01 and 11.02 so we don't have small babies..lol
