Boring...

There isn't much to report.  I did talk myself out of talking myself out of working out last night!  lol.  I got it done and out of the way so there's no guilt. 

Eating has been in check although I'm not as strict as when I was on the cleanse.  No alcohol--- I learned my lesson.  I felt just horrible. 

I have to go to work today-- I'm NOT looking forward to that. 

Still no package in the mail--- I'm so impatient. 

I'll check on all of you tonight after work!

Just Saw....

Martha Stewart is having a 30 Day Body Soul Challenge.   It looks really cool but I can't see where to sign up.  They have new recipes everday.  Is anyone doing this? 

Last night I had a relapse.  It was bad.  I feel horrible this morning and now I know that I'm not able to handle things in "moderation" yet.  So no more for a long time.  I thought I was ready to handle it but I couldn't. 

The "stress factor" in my life is "back" this week so I hope I can handle it alright.  Wish I could tell you more but since you can google myname and my blog comes up. 

I'm still on track with my points so not all is lost.  I got an email notifying me that my BL Cardio Max dvd has been shipped.  I can't wait!

WI

Well, I weighed in at 157.2 which is a loss of 2.2lbs this week!  At least the scale is moving down, right?  I'm so releived.

Remember the cardio max BL dvd I ordered, the Bob book, and the BL cookbook I ordered?  I thought I would have it by now so i went and checked on my amazon account and stupid me checked the box that said "group my shipments into as few as possible".  Well, since Bob's book is not released yet--- I'd be waiting forever!  So I changed it.  I want my stuff NOW!  LOL. 

Last night I watched BL.  It was a good one.  I actually cried for the Yellow team when they weighed in and made it.  I was so proud of them. The one thing they did that kind of upset me is when they went to the pink team and the purple team and tried to make alliances.  They should not have done that to prevent any kind of angry feelings-- I guess. 

Next week I guess Jillian cries about something--- I can't wait until next week!

EDIT:    I almost went into self destruct mode.  You know from my other post that I had decided to allow myself 1 or 2 days a week that I could have alcohol.  Well, I went to the store and I fought with myself wether or not to allow myself any today since it's my day off.  Then I couldn't decide wether or not to stick with my regular light beer or try and switch myself over to wine (healthier? probably not).  So I bought my regular light beer AND a bottle of dry reisling.    I thought I could have one drink and see how I feel.  I got home and I had one beer.  It tasted funny since it's been so long.  Then the guilt set in.  I HATE this feeling and you all know what I'm talking about.  Then I immediatley started searching for food.  I knew I was in destruct mode at this point.  I went ahead and had lunch (a smart ones).  I still was feeling like I needed something.  So I was rummaging my cupboards.  I didn't know what to do.  Staring back at me was a brand new bottle of Red Wine Vinager.  Thanks to Shelley, I bought some awhile back in case of any cravings.  I opened up the new bottle and took a shot. DANG that was nasty!  Talk about instant heartburn.  BUT it helped--- So Shell--- I'm forever indebted to you!  lol.    Then I put my power sculpt dvd in and worked out.  So I made it through!

Get it Together!

I need to get my ass in gear today!  I got on the scale because I was feeling a little bloated.  I was up from yesterday and I was disappointed since I've been working so hard and staying within my points.  My official WI is tomorrow so I will work hard today. 

I need to do my power sculpt dvd NOW, so that I can do it again when I get home from work.  That's why I need to get my ass in gear EP buddies! 

I had a big breakfast and will taper my meals for the rest of the day. 

It is 4 FREAKING DEGREES OUTSIDE!  I have never lived or been anywhere this cold. 

Since I'm still paying for meetings and can't go because of the roads--- I think I will try and start going again closer to march.  The weather should have warmed up by then. 

So I need to get off of here and get my butt in gear! 

EDIT****  I've had no alcohol for a week!  I would like to pick one or two days out of the week where I will allow for it but all other days will be off limits.  But I don't think I'm ready for that yet. 

Manic Monday...

Just a quick post--- the last day of my cleanse.  I felt wonderful towards the end.  The beginning, wasn't so great.  I would get kind of sick right after having my drink from all the toxins stirring up.  Also my head would hurt.  By day three those symptoms went away.  AND for all of you that are wondering but not asking..... I only had my regular bowel movement one a day.  Toxins chose to leave through my urine which was neon yellow despite the large amount of fluids I was drinking. 

Saturday morning I was down to 157 but again, official WI is not until wednesday.  Hope it sticks around. 

Still no drinks!  Tomorrow will be a week!

I have to get ready for work and it's sooo cold outside.  It's in the teens and tonight it's supposed to get to -2 degrees!!!!  I've never been anywhere that cold!!!!  Ack! 

I'll catch up with you guys later tonight. 

Part 2 of Today...

I did my BL powersculpt before I went to work. 

I only have one more cleanse drink to go for the night and I'm DONE!

I have resisted the urge to eat.  I'm not really hungry because the drink is actually about 3pts and is a food BUT I would love to chew on something.  lol. 

Arrrgghhh! DEPO

Well this is Day 5 of the cleanse.  I had 2 poached eggs this morning, a real sausage patty, and one slice of whole wheat toast.  UNFORTUNATELY because I have 5 drinks today that used up all my "food points" for the entire day!!!  That sucks.  I hope I make it.  The drink helps with hunger but I always look forward to some kind of meal--- why do you think I'm here?!  LOL. 

I'm quads and calves are pretty sore today and debating on wether to do my video today or not.  I will probably go ahead and do it when I get home from work or something. 

I'm down again on the scale today a little bit.  What's funny about this is TOM has been in town for 9 days now.    This is a kind of long but you all probably remember my post awhile back that said I was on depo and haven't had a period since a few weeks after having my daughter.  Which would have been November of 2006!  Ever since I got on depo I never see TOM.  I'm so good about keeping track of when I need to get my injection every 12 weeks.  I put it in my planner on my phone.  So it's the week before I'm supposed to have my shot and Tom makes a suprise visit.  This kind of worries me.  So I went back in my planner and I was a week off in getting my shot.  I was supposed the prior week!   I freaked.  I got it this week but TOM still hasn't left town.  Despite this, I've still been losing.  So I guess it's alright!

Well, I have to get ready for work. 

I'm copying OneDitto...

2nd post of the day!!!  LOL. 

I got my BL workout in.

I bought some of the Ziplock Steam bags the other day and decided to try one tonight for my dinner.  I put some frozen stir fry veggies in there and some precooked frozen jumbo shrimp with some teriyaki sauce.  In 6 minutes I had a a steamed veggie & shrimp dinner!  Now that's my kind of cooking!  My dinner was only 1.5pts!  I have one point left for the day which probably won't get used since I don't have anything "clean" in the house for 1pt.  I've already counted all my cleanse drinks for the day and I have one more to go this evening. 

There are 3 beers sitting in the fridge and I've resisted them.  I wish my husband would have drank them all if  he was going to bring them home--- but there they are.  I won't drink them don't worry!  I'm not going to screw up my cleanse!

More Good News....

I have to blog now because I cannot wait until tonight.  Again I got on the scale to see what it said (NOT my offical WI)  --- it said 157.8!!!  Four days ago I was 161!  So that's 3.2 lbs in 4 days.  I can't wait until next wedesday my official WI day. 

Precious asked more about this cleanse and using it with WW.  You can actually use it with your  normal diet BUT it works better if you eat CLEAN.  So I'm eating CLEAN and following my point system.  I've stayed within my points like I'm supposed to do and NOT like I have been doing...lol. 

THIS is the cleanse I'm using....NOT where I get it though.  I get it from the dr. my mil works for. 

Today is day 4, which means 4 drinks.  I've had two so far and one big salad. 

I'm going to work late because really, I just don't feel like going.    Also I went to the vet with my mom today because our oldest greyhound Tracy, has edema all through her face and her ears are real red.  She's getting older and we were worried.  They ran a blood panel and it came back normal but she has to be on predinisone for 2 weeks. 

She means the world to me so I had to go.  I would be devastated if something happend to her. 

I also took my baby daschy to the vet because he wont' take  his wormer.  I had to buy special powder wormer.  He's only 9 weeks and he's scooting his butt across the floor and they said that that's not worms but maybe his adrenals.  So I have to keep an eye on him.  UUUgghhh.  I don't want to have to take him in for something really expensive. 

I may post later tonight which is my normal posting time. 

I  you guys!

Cleanse Day 3

Well last night completed Day 2 which meant two drinks.  I had half of a chef salad for dinner and then half of an Amy's Organic Pizza.  It was very, very yummy.  I was left with a half of a point for the day.  I also got my workout in last night with the BL dvd.   I'm definately sore today with all those lunges.  lol.  Oh, and NO ALCOHOL AGAIN! 

I got on the scale this morning because I curious even though yesterday was official WI-- I was down another .6lbs.  I'm only weighing every day to see what my good behavior and the cleanse might be doing. 

Today I had 3 drinks.  I had a real sausage patty and two poached eggs for breakfast.  For lunch I had just some mixed steamed veggies with olive oil.  Dinner tonight was a beef fajita.  And---- I have one point left for the day! 

note:  this cleanse has a caloric value so I have to include it as points.  It's 3pts a serving.  as my drinks increase my actual food will decrease. 

AND DRUMROLL PLEASE........ NO ALCOHOL TONIGHT EITHER!  It's already 8:16 pm and I'm not worried about it.  I would love to get through this cleanse with eating well and no alcohol.    I also got my BL powersculpt workout in tonight!  I did the second level and dang it hurt!  Reminds me of how out of shape I got! 

I had two tiny indulgences today though-----  I had one tiny bite of my mother's cinnamon roll this morning--- they are to die for--- homemade and way better than Cinnabon (haha Kelly!)  My other indulgence was  a 16oz nonfat, sugar free latte.  All within my points today. 

This is the first time I haven't been using my activity pts either.  I'm afraid that when this cleanse is over I'm going to me more hungry.  I hope not. 

So for my good behavior and getting back on track I rewarded myself with purchasing the Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd, the Biggest Loser Cookbook, AND Bob Harper's new book.  I had to "pre order" that as it has not come out yet.  I  Bob Harper.  lol.  I ordered through Amazon so check it out!
