Before After

There's Nothin To It, But To Do It

Hello ladies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was good. The bf and I headed to my hometown [at about 12:45am] Friday night for the weekend. We got back in today. The trip was nice. I got to see my nephew play basketball, not that I'm biased but he's good yall! He scored 10 of the 14 points. He's only 7 btw, so it's just little league bball.

And [Precious] I'm proud to say that I did not overeat to hide my dieting to my family. I infact told them about it. Yes, I know I said I'd keep it to myself to prevent negative feedback but we were all deciding where to go out to eat at for dinner and I reminded them to be mindful because I am watching what I eat and I want somewhere that has fresh veggies. Yea, they made fun of me because everywhere we went had like 45 minute waits but we did find a resturaunt...Boston's and I got m veggies and a shrimp pasta. Again, I only ate 1/2 the bowl and put the other half up and had not one but TWO bowls of fresh veggies, they were just sooo good! So I did really good on my eating while at home and my family is actually being supportive this time so it makes me feel even better :)

I just left the gym. I got in 50 minutes of cardio burning a total of 450 calories and 140 abs. I weighed myself again [a little obssessed am I??] and it was 210.8 so I'm proud!! So if you subtract the 4lbs that scale is above the WW scale that means I'd be 206lbs. I'd LOVE that to be the case Tuesday. *says a prayer*

Tonight (I know it's late) I wanted to try a WW recipe, Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken but it's going to be too heavy to eat this late so I'm probably just going to have a honey mustard chicken wrap instead. Which brings me to the cost of healthy eating...For the past 3 weeks I've went grocery shopping and have spent no less than $50..and I'm just buying food for me!! That gets costly fast! Now I see why people shy away from it..It costs a small fortune, and imagine doing it for a whole family like some of you girls do. *sigh* I just have to do some tighter budgeting because going back to an unhealthy eating habit to save a few dollars is NOT an option.

And thank you for all the compliments on the picture! You guys aren't the only ones that say I don't like 210lbs. I am a very "thick" girl. My biggest problem area is my stomach. And if you couldn't tell in the picture, I do a good job at sucking it in! Lol. I've masterd the sucking it in and which angles make you look the smallest..So it's not the camera, it's me ;) Hopefully soon I won't have to.

Ok, I'm off to make dinner. Have a happy Monday!

Well done!

Sounds like you faced your challenges head on.  That's wonderful that you made it through the weekend unscathed AND got your family in on the action!  Way to go on getting to the gym!

Supportive family

Great! I'm glad they're supporting you with this and didnt go to some greasy fast food restaurant   They're right about you not looking 210...I wouldnt have guessed that either! =) You look good !

Good job on the workout and spending time with the family xox

Excellent weekend!

Did did super!  I'm glad you got the support you needed from your family.  Have a great week!

What an art!

Girl, it's an art to sucking that gut in, isn't it?!  I have mastered that thing.  Especially when sitting down and it wants to get comfortable sitting in my lap!  I've been married almost 5 years and I still hold my stomach in around my husband.  I guess that's a girl thing!

I'm glad you had a good time with the family and the bf!

Hello

So glad you had such a nice weekend.  You made some great choices with sharing your journey with your family, and choosing to eat well.   

 I, too, LOVE the picture.  You are beautiful!!!  Truly.  And, NO WAY, I would ever guess 210. 

You are doing AWESOME!  Keep it up! 

Sounds good!

Glad you had fun with the family! That chicken sounds good! Good job at the gym! And thanks for the ever so sweet comments! They are greatly appreciated! I know, I was praying they would accidentally take my keys again, but no such luck!

Have a great week!!

HAPPY WEIGH IN!

I HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD WEIGH IN TOMORROW! IT SOUNDS AS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT WEIGH IN!! YOU HAVE BEEN DOING GOOD AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE A WINNER! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU ARE ALMOST BACK TO ONDERLAND!

Hey Girl

You do hide it well. I think that's a blessing. Because when I ask peole how mcuh they think I weigh they are way off. THey are saying numbers that I wish I was. When I do tell them how much I weigh they don't believe me. Anyhow how did the recipe turn out? I wish you luck at weigh in. Have a good one!
