Crash and Burn
Well... I had two days of eating anything and everything I wanted. I havent stepped on the scale yet because I am worried about what it did. I consumed two Venti starbucks beverages, a slice of birthday cake, a scoop of ice cream, a large fistfull of miniature chocolate bars, a reeses peanut butter cup, and countless slices of pizza.
Sunday I did pretty well eating low carb but I didnt exercise at all. I did some homework and spent a good part of the day doing nothing except laying in bed. I think I have a sinus infection now and I probably should consider getting myself to the doctor.
I will do 30 min of wii fit tonight and my one and only goal for the week is to get to bed by 10pm each night. I think that simply doing that will be good for my overall health.

TOM... AGAIN?!?!
So I'm two and a half weeks early for my TOM. I know its my fault because I put my birth control pills in a different spot and realized this morning I havent taken any in almost a week. (Thank God I'm not doing the deed with anyone right now - DOH)
So hormone fluctuations probably account for me getting it now..... BUT.... I guess I never had one in Feb I will just consider it payback for that. Last night I was craving sweets SO bad, and this probably accounts for that as well. I'm also wondering if this was the reason I saw only a 1lb drop on the scale during my detox. I'm hoping that by Sat some of the bloating will be gone and I will see a bigger drop on the scale.
Other than that, I've nothing new to report. I've done at least 30 minutes every day on my Wii so far this week, so I'm proud of that.

Whoohoo! Lost Inches
I was feeling sorry for myself all day today. Partially because I was TIRED, I worked until midnight last night doing testing of software for a software launch. I also am frustrated and angry over school and a professor who is being AWFUL. Most of all though, because I stepped on the scale and that evil thing hadnt budged. AT ALL. I really wasnt supposed to weigh until tomorrow but I have problems with control when it comes to the scale haha.
I started the Apidexin on Sunday along with the 72 hour detox and was curious as to what it would do because of the claims, but I'm disappointed to see nothing. I have been doing the Wii Fit every day though and noticed that my clothes are feeling looser.... so I figured I would measure my waist and if it was any smaller, I would check some other places.
Well I did... and GUESS WHAT? I lost 6.3 inches all over!
Whoohoo! I'm trying not to stress too much about the scale because one of the benefits of the Apidexin is supposed to be that it helps you gain lean muscle along with burning fat, so its possible that some of the fat has been replaced by muscle considering the inch loss. I'm still going to weigh in first thing tomorrow morning though to see if there is any miraculous weight loss overnight - haha.
I'm feeling better this evening because I contacted my advisor about the professor who is running the AWFUL class, and so I'm feeling better about that. I'm hoping something changes there... although I'm still waiting for a call from that professor this evening and so far I've heard not a peep. Ugh. Well its out of my control so I'm going to focus on what I CAN do.
Well I'm enjoying BL right now and I'm going back to finish watching. I hope everyone else is having a great evening and I will report back in the morning about the scale.

Oh and my clothes are fitting better!
I must have already lost a little weight because my clothes are fitting better. I was down to about one bra I could comfortably wear but I tried on another yesterday and it fit fine. So I think I've lost across my chest.
Also - the pants I'm wearing today are looser, and I just grabbed them from the dryer this morning! I usually wear work pants twice between washes and these felt like the second wear straight from the dryer - whoohoo! :)

Wow. No appetite. AT ALL.
Not sure if its the Apidexin or the 72 hour detox but I have NO appetite. At Easter dinner, it was all i could do to choke down a small chicken breast a little brocolli and a couple of devilled eggs. I've never felt like this before.
I really should have stopped earlier than I did because I felt SO full, even though I hardly ate anything. I usually have a MUCH larger appetite.
Maybe thats how this stuff works. Makes it so you cant eat anything. I had a couple of hard boiled eggs this morning and am feeling very full. I waited 30 minutes to eat them after I took the pills, but perhaps I should have eaten the eggs more slowly to see if one would fill me up instead of needing two. I'm going to try that today to eat a little and wait. I dont like this very full feeling I'm getting.
I played on the Wii fit for about 20 minutes this morning. I'm hoping that tomorrow I will be able to drag my butt out of bed earlier to get some more workout time BEFORE the day starts. We will see. I will finish up my 30 minutes this evening.
This Wii fit is addictive, even though I was tired and sore last night, I so much wanted to hop onto the Wii fit again and do more more more. I'm glad I didnt since i was still a bit sore this morning. So far, I'm loving it!
I took two small chocolate eggs from my mother yesterday and I planned to eat them last night or today. Except. I seem to have misplaced them. I suppose thats good in the regard that I dont particularly need the calories or carbs, but kind of a bummer because I was looking forward to them and dont plan on buying any for myself.
Oh well :) Hope everyone else is having a happy monday!

Day 2
I'm calling this day 2 since its the second day since I weighed myself. I plan to weigh myself again next Saturday to see how I'm doing.
I also started my Apidexin today along with their 72 hour detox which can be used once monthly. I will actually weigh on Wed as well to see if the detox helped me lose anything. According to the manufacturer its not uncommon to lose 5 - 15 lbs during this 3 day detox. We will see, as they say - the proof is in the pudding (sugar free pudding for me - thank you very much!)
I spent 31 minutes on the Wii yesterday and today I did 53 minutes. My goal is to do a minimum of 30 minutes a day. I love the stepping game, and the tightrope walking game. I tried a little of the yoga and a couple of the strength excercises today as well. I was suprised that my balance is as good as it is, and it seems that my rythmn is halfway decent too since I've unlocked two more stepping games over a day or so. I'm definitely feeling my muscles which are used for balancing though, I can see how this game can be beneficial to your fitness already!
It was a little pricey but I think it was a great investment, and I love that you can use it as a scale and that it will track your progress for you!

Faced the Scale - AND WII FIT!!
So I faced the scale today and I actually feel much better since I did. I had gained back about 30 or a little more pounds last year when I tipped the scales back at 312ish in May 2008. Since then, in the past year or so, I was suprised to learn that I've only put on another 12 pounds. I feel a little less like a failure and it feels good to be honest with myself.
I suspect i will be below 300 again in no time.
I also purchased a used Wii system and a Wii fit today. I got it all with a years warranty for a tad over $300. So now I'm deciding if I should cancel the gym membership I've been paying for an not using for the past few mos. I could pay for the Wii in about 6 mos worth of gym membership... decisions decisions.
I decided to be honest and update my weight log and you can expect me to continue to be honest with it.
I also got my Apidexin in today, so I plan to start it in the morning (along with their 72 hour detox) and I will be excited to see how much it helps me in the next month or so.
For now, I must get to work on a paper I've been trying to write all day but having no luck on.
Hope everyone has happy Easter celebrations if you celebrate the holiday!

Why do I want to do this?????
I was thinking about this question this morning and i want to write down some answers because I hope by putting these reasons in writing I will find more motiviation along my journey.
- First and foremost, I want to look SMOKING for my cruise in August (I'd like to wear my size 22 jeans and my size 22 formal dress!!!)
- Second, I want to FEEL better - When I was working out regularly before, I FELT sooooo much better
- I want to have energy. Right now, I feel so completely drained all the time, I always just want to sleep
- I want to get my self confidence back. I've lost it. I'm not sure where or how, but its gone.
I'm actually not that concerned for Easter this weekend. I feel like I will have no problem staying on track by eating low carb. Chocolate is always a temptation, but I plan to pick up a box of Atkins peanut butter cups, that way if I feel the need to endulge I can do so wisely and avoid the sugary Easter candy!

Whoops!
So this morning I was going on my merry little way, and decided to get coffee when I made it to the office. We just moved and have no filters for our normal coffee machine, so I grabbed a cup to get a cup out of the automatic machine. Well the coffee from that machine is normally raunchy so I thought at the last minute... I will just get the cappuccino cause it tastes better.
STUPID STUPID STUPID... I didnt think about it until after I downed the cup of coffee, but then i was like CRAP. That had sugar in it (Think International powdered coffee type stuff). I had a bit of a headache for awhile, and could just kick myself because what a waste of carbs for the day.
At least it was a small cup, but I dont know how to count the carbs for it.
Sigh.... oh well. Live and learn, but I always hate it when I dont think of those things until its too late!
