Wow so I have been away for a good while; my entire family was sick. We endured freezes then rapid warm ups and then freezes again. My little one is asthmatic so that caused lots of problems for her. There was an ugly flu bug going around Dallas and just our luck, we got it and that turned to pneumonia for all of us so the new warm weather is helping us now. Hope that everyone on here is doing well.
I started the HCG Liquid diet two days ago because I needed to kickstart myself again. I will post more pics in about two weeks because I want to see how this HCG is working out. In the meantime, everyone here have a blessed Saturday morning. I have a kid to pick up at noon who is at a TAKS blast study morning today, then race to dance class for the little one at noon and then...soccer at 1:00.
Well, I am really feeling good today! I am wearing a pair of black slacks that the zipper would FOREVER ZIP DOWN everytime I sat down; ugh!! That used to make me so MAD! Well, I don't have that problem anymore! yay me! I am really excited and just wanted to share that with you. I had a bagel with peanut butter and coffee for breakfast; a handful of almonds for a snack, and am fixing to pick up my lunch from Pei Wei Asian Diner that consists of cool lettuce wraps no/sauce @ 300 calories!! yeah baby! Then for dinner tonight probably a seafood salad, melon balls and some tasty mint tea. I bought some devil's food cookies at Aldi and those are the most scrumptious devil's food cookies I have EVER TASTED! They're only 50 calories each so I sure the hell am going to treat myself to some.
I have been out of the loop for a while as I found out that my secretary was stealing checks from our company and I had to deal with that for almost two weeks! That was exhausting! Been trying to find a new secretary to take her place; had one hired but she quit because she lives too far and is pregnant; had another one apply but she neglected to tell me she has a criminal record and is on PAROLE!! yeah buddy I did write PAROLE! Anyway, I kind of fell off my calorie counting thing but I'm back! I gained two pounds but hopefully that will soon go away.
Having some Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup, the 80 calorie kind, a cup of green salad no dressing, some watermelon cubes and some string cheese for lunch. Drinking all of my water, too. Not sure if I'm having some baked chicken tonight or another soup. I love Progresso soups!
On a different note, my daughters are expecting some autographed pictures from one of my favorite actors! Joe Dallesandro worked on some real provocative films ala Andy Warhol and Jon Waters. Anyway, he's a really nice guy and the girls like one of his movies called Blood for Dracula. He's a handsome guy and they love that he kills Dracula. LOL
Can't wait to see their faces when he sends the pics; I received confirmation from Joe that they should receive either Thursday or Friday! He's my mom's age but boy was he a looker back then! ooooweeee!
Other than the drama better kept for your mama, I'm having a good day now that we know who the culprit and thief is. I'm busier but much happier.
Well, I went to work today and found out that my secretary is stealing from our company! Oooooh I am so pissed because my husband says that she is the best secretary he has ever had! She's stolen from us before and he continues to give her a chance to redeem herself then she screws it all up all by herself! I cannot believe my husband is so stupid! Enough about that bitch...
I found a new friend on this website who has agreed to hold me accountable for my food diary and weight! Yay! I hope to take a pic next week at two weeks into my fitness and diet plan. I so totally feel it in my clothing now and it's very exciting for me! I had a craving for a McRib and a Coke today so I had one! No guilt because I know I have allowed for it in my weight loss for the week and my caloric intake! I hope you guys are enjoying my blog because I am damn proud of my weight loss so far and of my blog.
Hey everyone! Hope you're having a as good a day as I am; I'm so happy that I went down a pant size!!!! I was a 22 and now a loose 20! Very very happy! My calories have stayed 1400 and below and I have lost almost 5 pounds in a week.
I hope that my new mentality continues because I don't think I would want to start this whole diet thing again and fail like I have done in the past. It was so disappointing to me to start this year "AGAIN" but I am vowing to myself to make my kids proud of their mommy and get to feeling good about myself again. I hate walking by mirrors while I'm shopping for clothes so I avoid looking into them because I am so freaking fat it's sickening.
I am, however, really excited to get down to the single digits and buy a whole new wardrobe! I am promising myself that by next year, I will be ready to wear a 2-piece bathing suit and that is something I have NEVER done. Never as a young teenager or as an adult. I was just very self conscious and modest about my curvy figure as a teen and then after I had the kids I would lose the weight but then get pregnant right away and THAT was hard on my self esteem because I knew what I USED TO LOOK LIKE.
Anyway, no more self loathing because I am ready to work for my new body, new clothes and new attitude!
Today I stuck to my calorie calculator, just went over a little bit but not by much! Overall a great day today; hope you guys had a great one like I did. Did some online browsing and getting ideas for a NEW swimsuit! Hopefully I'll be bikini ready for next year but this year I don't think so. I need to lose 110 pounds to be a healthy weight of 140 and so far I believe it's 3 lbs lost in 4 days!! I'm pretty stoked about that. I can really feel it in my jeans. I used to weigh 256 and it's pretty sad because that's what I weighed when I was PREGNANT with my last child and went into labor so essentially I'm carrying my youngest child in body fat; ugh gross! Oh and when I started Extrapounds, I was weighing 250 so I actually lost 6 lbs by myself before I started this program.
I weighed 200 lbs when I became pregnant and was a size 16. I want to get down to at least a size 8 or 6 because anymore weight lost than that I think is unattractive and unhealthy for me. I was a size 6 in high school and weighed about 152 pounds; I have heavy set bones and am a classic hourglass woman's figure so I'm pretty happy about that. I just need to lose the unhealthy fat and tone up ALOT! I promised myself that I will do 400 crunches daily; 200 in the morning and 200 at night and walk at least .5 mile everyday. I want to get to my P90X box but I want to make sure I'm ready for it. So for now, I'll do my crunches and walking regimen for a month then come February 4, I'll open it up and start!
Please pray for me and wish me luck just like I wish everyone here on this site much luck for their weight loss goals.
Okay so now I am going to get a little ambitious; I'm going to push myself to lose 2.5 lbs a week instead of 2 pounds a week and am putting myself on a little bit stricter diet where my calories are cut by a little less than 300 calories. I am going to do 1141 calories per day. Wish me luck and I can't wait to get to my goal weight!
Walked into our shop, employees are in a good mood, hopefully husband will be in a good mood and not be a downer. How can someone be so happy being miserable? I mean, WTF?? He's a good provider, awesome dad but can be a total downer and a prick with me; what gives? It's not everyday he acts like this but when business is slow, he acts like that.
Anyway, I am so happy that I have already lost 2 lbs!!!! I started watching what I eat and using a calorie counter; i put the web address for the calorie counter on my blog so you guys/girls can use it, too. I am so pumped, y'all! I bought P90X and I want to lose some more weight and get to 240 or 235 then I'll start the P90X.
I'll let you know how the workouts go and I wish all of you a Happy New Year and the best of luck on your own weight loss journey♥
Ugh I am sick of listening to my husband complaining and complaining about customers, IRS, immigrants, the whole damn thing! Sheesh he's always bitching and complaining and I told him he's a total downer to everyone around him. Anyway, my day was a great one besides listening to his whining; I stuck to my calorie counter and I ate all day on only 1,517.78 calories!!! Ate great breakfast, snack lunch and dinner. I ate so clean I scared myself when I refused to put dressing on my salad this evening! Hell I'm doing so good I can't wait for the end of the year to see what I look like then. I am so pumped to make it my year!
