Getting Healthy(loosing ten before the wedding

2009-09-28T10:45:00.001-07:00

Ok, here we go again. Had a couple hard weeks but when I got on the scales this morning I have lost two more pounds when I thought I had at least not lost. Figured I had gained one or two. So, with that I only have two pounds to be at my ten and its been about three weeks. YEA!! Which means I will go for the 15. I will love it when I accomplish that.

Well, not so hot on the weekend of course. I did gain a pound or so. just have to keep working at it. Starting this morning I had my weight loss shake. Lets see how the day goes. Still no oreos. Sugary chex mix stuff, small peice of cake, m&m's , but hey no oreos.

2009-09-17T08:38:00.000-07:00

By the way, NO oreos in the last seven days. YEA!!

well, I am more than half way to my ten pounds. Once I hit that we are going for another 5 pounds. I think I can do that in two months. Gives me five pounds a month. Slowly but surely. Even though I am not eating quite as good as I have wanted to I have cut way way down on sugar. That is my worst thing and chocolate. Wait a min, I think chocolate might have sugar in it. That means I have cut down oogles and oogles. My coke has not completely gone away yet. Keeps begging me to drink and I just cant stand to see things cry. That has cut by 2/3 at least though. I at least have something for breakfast and try and do lunch too. I have cut back on portions. Friday night is "eat what I want to" night though. We are suppose to go to Texas Roadhouse (my favorite place in the world to eat) but I have to go to hospital for some injections so I am hoping we get out on time to go. Takes about three hours or so. Anyway, progress and will be making more soon. I would like to average one or two pounds a week. I think that is a possible goal. So far I have lost six in eight days. Not bad. Always comes off faster at first though. By next Monday I want to be at 175.5

This morning I had a weight loss shake. Lunch: water, salad with just carrot and cabbage, one TBL dressing and a few fat free croutons, with 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese. Dinner- bun, hamburger, few chips, glass of milk

An ok, day but we must do better tomorrow. Breakfast-weightloss shake lunch 22oz coke(much smaller than my 44 oz refills) 1/2 brownie Dinner-a serving of salmon w/lemon grilled and an Olive Garden breadstick. My son brought me home the salmon and breadkstick. Very nice of an 11 year old. I think I need a therepist to take me to dinner too. and another 1/2 brownie, and glass of Milk. and..............1/2 brownie for snack, dont tell anyone. Not enough water though. So tomorrow no coke and 4 -20oz waters. Hard for me since i hardly ever drink water. If my kids dont stop making cookies, and MAKING me eat the dough, and then making brownies and MAKING me eat them so i can tell them how good they are and what good cooks they are. Its all them. They are making me do it. The scale will tell the real story about this weekend tomorrow. Seems like it takes a couple of days to catch up. Anyway, catch you then and if I have time I will do measurements. This way you can have the whole, wrinkly, droopy, TAN, (had to say something good) Night Night! Maybe if I shave my legs it would take off 1/2lb. Maybe i need a buzz. Wonder what Nolan would think of that one. He would love it if it helped me feel good about myself. lol

OK, I admit to a bad weekend. I wont even tell you all i did. Including the funnel cake and corn dog at the fair. Grilled cheese and brownie yesterday. today is a new day and week. Here we go. I haven't ate anything yet, i got busy and forgot so I will get a weight loss shake now. Give more info on what I ate. I didn't gain any weight from weekend. Very surprised. Hopefully it doesn't catch up with me tomorrow

2009-09-11T12:27:00.000-07:00

Ok, its Friday and its eat what i want day. I still had shake this morning and I try and only do this with dinner. I even talked myself out of a coke this morning. Yea! I wanted to save points and calories for dinner.

2009-09-11T08:53:00.000-07:00

Yea. One pound but its a total of 4.5.. Only 5.5 left. We might have to go for another five. Even though I ate a little cookie dough. Num Num. We are going out to dinner tonight , so I probably wont post till Monday. Let it catch up with me. I am hoping for 1/2 to one by then. So monday it will be 178.0

2009-09-10T09:10:00.000-07:00

Well, I gave in to one oreo. No milk though. I would hate to have had the healthy part of oreos and milk. That would take all the fun out of it. But I dont feel too bad. I get to be good today though because its the real first day. You know, I love the first days of the water loss. The scale was my friend this morning. It might of been because it looks like it needs a new battery. Something more to do today. I will take it for any reason. Gives me motovation. No coke taday. Even if I hear it crying out to me, i have to be strong. There is always someone else that can take care of it. I will be the strong one. At least till dinner on Friday night. I have done this weight thing in the past. (who hasnt done it a few times at my age, besides aunt Maridene) I try and do it similar to Weight watchers. I also pretty much watch the sugar intake and fiber and all of that. Wish me luck today. Its never too hard for me till night time. It lurks around every corner and then gets me with oreos. I am afaid they will have to cry themselves to sleep tonight because i will be tough. So one day a week I make it a day where I can eat anything I wont. I try and not to go to overboard. This is usually friday besause that is our night out. I ahve figured out that if I give my self one day, i still loose the weight, and if gives me something to look forward to during the week. It also makes it easier than telling myself I have to stick to it till the weight is gone. I know myself and that doesnt work. I have to be able to have some chocolate. My Dr said i need it for somethingl. When I figure out what that something is I will tell you. Then maybe you can use that excuse too.

Wheres my oreos. I dont know i might break, I have a few more cookies and they are going to go bad if I dont eat them Dont you tend to give into your kids when they tell you how much they need you and want you. The Oreos are doing the same thing to me and I might be giving in. Stay tuned for the answer

2009-09-09T15:57:00.000-07:00

I know this isnt Healthy and its where I will improve. I had 20 oz coke.(my last one :(....) For dinner we are having fettachini, white sauce garlic bread and Corn.
I will have 1 cup spagetti, 1/4 c. sauce, 1/2 piece garlic bread, 1/4c. corn . No oreos either! How sad. My favorite bedtime snack. Dipped in Milk of course
No, i had no breakfast, or lunch or snacks. We will start day out better tomarrow.

2009-09-09T08:56:00.000-07:00

Ok, here we go. Today wont be the best day but I can't say I will start tomarrow. I am enjoying my last Coke refill today. Its like leaving my best friend. How sad. Everyone says Pepsi is the same. Not for me. Taste just isnt as good and coke has been there for me when I needed it. How do I just leave it. I hope it understands that I will be back someday. Maybe a clean break would just be better. We cant even really be friends. Its just to hard. Here's to you COKE. Have a good life. We will meet for dinner sometime in the future I am sure.
