Day 99

Hey everybody. Wow, I have not wrote anything in a while. For that I am sorry. But I have been very busy.

I am still losing weight. Yes. As of today I am 237 and pray that I keep going down til I get to my goal weight.

So tomorrow is Weigh-In Wednesday.....................

I will write tomorrow.

My last video............

Day 77

Another day...................

I am so sleepy today. Hmmmmmmmmm. How many times did I fall asleep at work? Too many times to count.

Counting my calories are coming easy, it is just keeping up with my sodium. I can not go over or my feet and hands will swell. Sucks!

Day 74

I have been busy and admit this week was not a good week for me. Sometimes I felt sad and cry sometimes out of no where. someone who has lost someone special to them will understand. It is getting close to when she passed away and I can not be more stressed. The legal stuff of it all is stressful and I thank God for my love ones who reach out to me and some me love.

Day 70

Hello World!

Yes. That is me. I had to double look myself. I can not I am doing it! I will continue. I am 249 pounds now and I can not remember the last time I was in the 240s. Long time, but I feel great.

This week weigh in might be a little off because I have a visit from a special friend. So I will weigh myself, but I will weigh myself again on Friday. Today I will take another rest day. I might walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I am in pain and not feeling good. Only will eat 1208 calories.

Day 67

Oh My!!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry for not writing. I have been busy. So much on my plate.

But I have been doing really good. I am at 249 now. YAY! 31 pounds loss. I am feeling full of energy and I am having a blast. This week we have been snowed in so we have been spending a lot of time together. (husband and the two kids). I got out in the snow two days in a row, running around, throwing snowballs and building a snow-woman. It was so much fun.

I also have been working out longer. So now I am going to just workout 5 days a week. My body is feeling it. I was so tired when I got on the treadmill this morning. But I got through my workout that lasted for 45 minutes now.

So right about now, I am going to play the Xbox Kinect with the husband and kids. We are about to have loads of fun.

Day 58 Weigh In Wednesday

Yay!!!!!! More weight loss. Three pound goal for next week. I know it might be a little hard but I can do it.

Day 56

HELLO EVERYBODY!

I am sorry I have not wrote anything in almost a week. I have been working hard and I am trying to find time to fit everything in. I do exercise before work and sometimes after. I still eat my foods but sometimes it is hard to hit 1200 calories. I have been (not trying) for the past three days hitting 1100 calories. I sometimes do not have time to eat my snack. I will try harder. I will just eat my snack during my breaks.

Also my goal jeans for January............

These................ The ones I could not fit a thigh into them three months ago...........

Well...............................................

 I wish I had a picture with them on, but I could not for the life of me fit them. I say 10 more pounds, they will be fitting comfortable.

I can tell that I lost weight now. I can get back in two pair of my jeans (comfortable). 

I am still nervous about my weigh-in. I hope I met my goal of two pounds. Crossing my fingers.

Day 49

Sorry I have not been writing. I have been kind of busy and some days I forgot to write for my blog. I am still doing good. But...................................Saturday I ran out of green tea and I felt sooooooooooooo hungry. I did eat 1600 calories. I did run that day but still I had an extra brownie. I know that sucks. The green tea helps fill me up after my meals. I will try my best not to run out of green tea again.


Breakfast:

Mid-Morning Snack:

I had a peanut butter sandwich (1 and a half) for lunch with a tangerine and green tea.

For dinner, I am having Baked lemon pepper chicken, broccoli, and baked mashed potatoes(no salt, no butter, and 1/4 cup of Almond Milk). Plus my green tea.

I have my warm water, lemon juice, and honey at 6:30pm. I DO NOT EAT AFTER 7pm. 

I am feeling good today. I wish I could feel like this every day.

Day 44 Weigh-In Wednesday

I weighed myself this morning and the scale said I lost a pound. I know it is more but I have to wait til my friend leaves to weigh myself again. Sometimes it sucks being a woman.

I am still happy that I made it out of the 260s. I have been there for a while. I am not exercising til Friday. I also will do my weight training tomorrow. Well that is exercising. DUH! LOL!

I did not make a video today. I will try to make one soon.

Day 43

Well sorry Folks. I did not get to write on Monday. I had a rough day. It was hard. I ate off schedule and I did not drink enough water.But I got through it. God is good!

Sometimes I feel so sad. I think too much. I never experience missing someone so much as much as I missed my mom. She used to joke around saying you will miss me when I am gone. And she was right. I miss her.

I know she will be proud of me. Keeping a stand for my health.

Well Mom, I hope you are looking down on me smiling. I will not give up!

Day 40

Wow! 40 days of fun! Nothing but eating right and exercising. I did P90 today and it is starting to feel easy. Cool. I guess after 90 days I will do P90x. I wait for that. Also last night my husband and I plus the kids played xbox kinect again. This time we did not play it long because everybody was kind of tired.

My blood pressure was a little high yesterday. I think I am a bit stressed about selling our mother's house. I have been thinking about her a lot. I miss her, but I know she does not like mr to be stressed or worry about too much. She used to tell me, " You have to talk things out and stop holding it in." I am bad at doing that. I uesed to eat and eat til I thought I felt better. Uh.....that do not work. It just made me fat.

So tomorrow is rest day and I will be watching football with my family.

I will see ya on Monday. That might be a sad day for me. Signing away my childhood home.

Day 39

So sorry I did not write anything yesterday but I was tired. I did work out. I just think it is almost that time of the month and I get a little bit fatigue a week before.

Today, I got my work-out in as well. I think I am going to chill out for the rest of the day. I am tired and need to relax my body. I have a lot of things on my mind at this time.

I am trying my break not to go to the one thing that I found in the past to relax me, food.
                                                 
                                            NO NO NO.

Losing 20 pounds was hard work and I am not gaining another pound.

I will just have to talk my problems out or write about them.

So I am on to relax time.

See ya tomorrow.

Day 37 Weight-In Wednesday

YAY! I loss 5 pounds. 80 more pounds to go!

I am feeling great. Still a little tired after my workout.

So here is a link talking about Oolong Tea. http://www.teasetc.com/tea/article.asp?ID=1

I love Oolong tea and green tea. I drink two cups of Oolong tea and one cup of green tea every day.

So my blood pressure is good. Well, the bottom number is still kind of high. 119/86

So today I started doing Power 90. Just mixing things up a bit.

My daughter was home with me because she was sick. But she was well enough to do some of it with me. Which was cool. Wow you can burn a lot of calories doing this.

I am happy with myself today. I am not hungry or did I try to overeat.

I can not wait til Wednesday morning to see how much I loss for week 5.

More Recipes To Come............................

I am making homemade Flat-bread Pizza tomorrow. Sounds good I know.

Also my blood pressure is still great. I am going to go to the doctor next month.

Day 33

Oh boy. So yesterday it seemed like I was hungry all day. I did good still dinner time when the chicken was not cooked in time. I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hungry! I made me a sandwich with just one slice of chicken breast and nothing else. I ate my dinner, but after I was finding myself standing in the kitchen picking at the chicken. Not pointing and joking. LOL BUT EATING IT! Little pieces. I felt bad. I also but a little bit of peanut butter on my rice cake. That was not in the plan. I did not go over my calories according to Myfitnesspal, but I went over the calories I set for myself each day. Which is 1200-1500 calories and to 1600 when I exercise that day. Oh well, today is a new day. Here is my one month pictures. Each month I will take pictures of myself in the same clothes so we can see the change together.

Day 31

Well today, my knee started back hurting when I took my little girl to the bus stop. I did not get on the treadmill, but I did do some arm exercises.

I am feeling good. Other then the knee problem everything is going great. I am not hungry all the time like most diets I have tried in the past. Oh the only problem I am having is sleeping through the night. I think with out me getting on the treadmill working out, I do not sleep that good at night. I dream a lot about my mom.

I am trying something new this week to see if I could lose more than 2 pounds or because I have not been exercising as much this week. I am eating my three meals plus 3 snacks. NOT BAD STUFF. Healthy eating.

Wee folks I do not know what else I can talk about today. See ya Tomorrow! :)

Well hopefully I get to do a video soon. I have been so busy with my family lately. It have been a wonderful full of fun winter break. My body feels beat. When school starts on Monday, I have to clean up my whole house. Wow! Its a mess. Well to me it is.

I have been doing good, only sometimes it is a little hard to not be hungry after 8, but I have not ate anything. YAY ME! My husband and kids make sure I do not eat anything after 8. My husband is also doing it too. He worked out with me today and I enjoyed it. Its cool sometimes to have someone to work out with you. But if I don't I always have my music.

Well tomorrow I will see you again and I hope I get to make a video and have pics.

Day 23

Well..................... I meet my goal for week this week. I lost 2 pounds. Yes, I was hoping for more than 2 pounds, but hey, at least I lost instead of gain. 

Now I am 267. 87 pounds to go!

I will have a video tomorrow. My body is sore from playing Xbox Kinect witht he family for two nights in a row.

I am going to rest. I did do some light jogging around where I live today. And I only had 1533 calories today. Yay me! This is hard, but I am not giving up!
