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! :)

Rest day was on Day 27. I rested and now can't do my running exercise today because of my stupid knee injury.

Oh well. Calories to day since I can not exercise is low. 1,263   

I am not so hungry, so it is cool. 

Yesterday I did make a recipe video of my brownies. The whole family loved them as well. Do not go back for seconds. LOL

 

Day 26 (And about day 25)

Hey Everybody! Sorry I have been super busy!

It is still winter break and my family goes back to work/school on Monday. I have back off track with sleeping but still eating right and exercising.

Day 25..................

I exercised on my treadmill and my daughter wanted to exercise as well.

Day 26......................

Well I hurt my knee the other night playing the Kinect, but I still exercised today. As soon as I started exercising things want to happen. My first or second week I had a cold, now my knee. It's cool.

I am going to watch some football and relax.

Day 24

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!
