What a great deal, loose 10 lbs, buy smaller pants? Can you believe that? We went to Beall's yesterday and instead of getting 22's I got 20's!!!!!!! I wish I could loose 80 lbs by next week. I am going home for Christmas. Home is in North Carolina in case you don'e know me!!!! I haven't seen everyone since Labor Day. I have a new hair do, trimmed the long blonde white trash look. Now I am a short bob brown with blonde highlights and of course the new truck. What has gotten in to me???? Some of you probably don't want to hear this and its probably TMI, but I had sex with myh husband 3 times in the last 24 hours!!!! This 10 lb. loss has filled me with energy. He likes it, of course!!!!!! I'm going to Wal-Mart. I love shopping, so I have incorporated exercize and shopping together. I call it power carting! I get my Wal-Mart cart and I push it fast down every row. With it being this close to Christmas, I might experience some interference traffic today. Still waiting on my treadmill. Maybe it will arrive this week! Take care and remember someone out there has your back in this weight loss journey (me)!!!!!!!
I had 80 Hits since this time last night. You'll either love me or just don't have nuthin' better to do.... I just finished eating the JC Meatloaf meal. I don't really care for it. The meatloaf was good, but the veggies needed help. I know what to do with it next time!! I read on the JC site last night that people were washing the sauce off and making burgers out of it!!!! I'll try that next time. JC makes a turkey burger which is slammin', but sometimes my brain wants meat and...ice cream and chocolate. Oh no, where am I going with all that..... Ordered some goodies for the new truck today. Got this cool decal on order that says , "Not a boy's Toy". It might get put up in the back slider window unless it looks too cheesy. My truck is awesome, the guys get jealous and I get all kinds of looks at the gas station. I know they're lookin' at the truck and not this 300 lb. heffalump! Someday they'll be looking at me!!!!! If not, oh well, I have a husband who gets ALL my lovin. Ok we need to get organized and motivated before CHristmas. I lost at Thanksgiving and I make it my goal to loose weight at Christmas as well!!! Join the bandwagon. Will you commit to stay on your program for Christmas???? Can we do this together?????
I had the funnest weekend. I forgot to share this with all of you!!!! I have been sleeping so much better since I have lost these few pounds. I hope to surpass the 10 lb mark Monday!!!! Anyway, I told my husband that I loved going to sleep because now I actually go to sleep and it feels so good. He said, yeah me too, I just love sleeping on cat rocks!!! I said cat rocks, what are you talking about, He pulls back the pillows and there were these small rocks all over the bed... I started dying laughing, My cats have been going straight from the litter box and walking on the bed and leaving cat litter on my husband's side!!! I laughed so hard I started crying. So, if you think life is bad, just remember you could be sleeping on cat rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
As I type this, I am at Crazy sushi in Jacksonville. What a cool place. Its the only thing that I like to eat during the week if I need to get a break from JC diet. So far sushi hasn't failed me. I had a very rough day at work, so I came here. I am enjoying a glass of plum wine while I wait on my sushi. I had a JC breakfast (5 fat grams) a small mini chef salad for lunch and popcorn cakes for snack, so I think I can splurge and have a few pieces of sushi. This wine probably is a no-no, but I need it. I need to relax!!!! Seems like I was stressed all day long. I did a lot of travelling today, went all over Jacksonville and down to Ponte Vedra and now I am near Jax Beach. Sounds like fun, huh? I am suppose to weigh in on Thursday, but I'm going to put it off until Monday. I have to be psyched up for it. I am still waiting on my treadmill. The trainer said she found one and she will let me know when it gets there, probably by the end of the week. I NEED IT NOW!!!!!! That's what I am treating myself to for Christmas , a gym quality used treadmill, she said it would probably cost me around $300. She is waiting on someone to call her and give her the book value on it. I didn't know there was book values on exercize equipment. Imagine that! Sushi is here, gotta go!!! Luv all you heffalumps!!!
What a day!!!! I had a "control" episode today. A "control" episode is what I call it when I am put into a situation around a bunch of food and I have to make a decision about what to do. Today was a major control episode. I went to a Christmas party at a Landscaper's office. There was about 100 people eating there and the food was spread all the way down a 16 ft wall. There was ribs, beans, slaw, potato salad, and lots of other stuff. I resisted the ribs and went for the boiled shrimp instead (Good move). Then I was slightly bad, had some spinach dip and 2 brownies and some pineapple and a pickle. I'm not going to beat myself up over this. I skipped the 3 pm snack, drunk a bunch of water and had a very small supper, so maybe I'll be ok. So how can I call this a "control" episode? I was in control because I controlled my urges. In the past I would have had a couple of ribs , a bunch of brownies and loads of banana pudding and I probably would have camped out near the table and nibbled for an hour. However, I finished my diet Coke and left. I did not leave myself open to temptation. It was good and I was in control. Why don't you tell me about your control episodes. What are your tricks, how do you resist?
I am so excited! I am going to put up the tree after I type this blog. I had an obstacle this morning. I didn't leap past it, but I survived. Here's what happened: My husband wanted a good southern breakfast. So I cooked, sausage, eggs, grits and biscuits. I made it through cooking it, then the big decision came: Do I eat this crap????? No...... I made me a bowl of JC complete start cereal and I had a Dole citrus cup and 1 biscuit. (With fig preserves). So, I wasnt totally bad..... I hope I can straighten up for the rest of the day............ He's already told me that he wants to eat Mexican food for lunch!!! What gives? I guess there will be no supper tonight!!!!! Have a great day!!!!
The weigh in was great. I couldn't believe it. I guess I was in shock. It must have been all that walking last Saturday at Sea World! I was sore for 2 days!! I ate sushi twice last week, and last Friday night I ate shrimp wrapped in bacon. So I decided that I would accurately log my food this week and every week forward so that I could go back and repeat successful weeks. However, I will say that I didn't like the shrimp. It was too bitter. My JC counselor told me to stay away from shell fish. Can you believe that? I asked her why, and she said it was a fatty fish. Have you ever seen a fat fish? Non of the shrimp I've eaten have had jelly rolls!!! Anyway I told her, well its better than the fried oysters I normally eat. So I was proud of myself. I felt like sying B**ch I lost 5 lbs this week, don't tell me what to eat. However, I was nice, she was from the corporate JC office and filling in for my normal counselor who was sick. She had lost 50 lbs 6 years ago and we had some interesting conversation about chocolate. Seems like all us chicks big and small love chocolate.... What's up with that????
Tomorrow morning at 11 am I will hit the scales. I hope to experience some type of loss. I have been trying to do a little exercise. I've increased my walking. Can't say it's enough to matter. I went off the deep end today and went to a chinese buffet for lunch. I had the most awesome piece of apple cobbler, probably stuck right to my butt. The sushi was good. I stayed away from he fatnin' stuff like egg rolls and cheese wontons. I wanted a wonton real baaad! . Well i am looking forward to the weigh-in. I can't believe I am saying that. I am chugging diet coke and eating my anytime bar as I say that! Have a goodnight!
I am so excited about this weigh in. I really dont know why. Maybe its because I am almost out of food or maybe its because I want more toffee bites. They are good. They kind of remind me of the pecan sandies. GOOD!!! I was reading another blog and I am interested in this dieting on a budget search. It seems that it cost so much for diet programs. I have paid Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss and now Jenny Craig. Each one has their own little claim to fame but it all boils down to the same.... I am going to do some research and see whats out there that is reasonably priced that I can incorporate into my eating plan. I already know one. Popcorn. Its a great buy for the price. The smartpop 100 calorie bags are awesom and you can season it too. Go to nomorenakedpopcorn.com. This stuff is good and adds a zest to your everyday popcorn. I got apple cinnamon and it is good. I have 5 more bottles too, but havent tried them yet, but I'll let you know. I am in the market for a treadmill. I have a private trainer going to hook me up with one before the end of the week. I am tired of the cheap walmart ones. I want a professional one to hold up this big woman. I'll let you know how that comes out. Have a great evening!
Yesterday we drove down to Orlando and saw all the water creatures. It was cool. I thought I was going to die from all the walking. I am in such BAD shape. This was really a wake up call and I saw at least 4 extremely obese people in motorized vehicles wandering around. I felt so sorry for them. One woman had to be at least 600 lbs. She was enjoying herself and had a great sense of humour. However, after seeing her like that, I thought to myself, this could be me in 10 years if I don't be careful. I have to get focused. I did this web search for one of the world's largest women who passed away this week, Rosalie Bradford and I found a website that lists the world's largest people and when I saw it my heart really went out to them. I am sure some of them exploited their weight for financial gain, but probably most of them would like to be smaller. I ran across a story where one guy had gastric bypass and lost 600 lbs. I wish him luck. So if you're reading this and you are extremely obese 500 lbs. please know that I care about you and there are those of us who will not exploit you, bbut who can be your rock and support should you decide to join this journey with us. We joke about the Heffalump club and I certainly love myself no matter what size I am and you can too!!!
