I will not be dissuaded on my plan because of one bad day of weight loss! So last I had written, I woke up to another lb and a half weight loss, bringing me down to 213.6. That was the end of the dramatic dropping. That night (Valentine's night) my weight went high back to 217. The next morning, up to 218.4. Last night, we were at 216. Kind ( Read more... )

Okay, so it's day three of "Get rid of weight and diabetes" plan and all is well. Did you hear me? All is well! I had some low moments yesterday and today where I found myself crazy sweets and bread sooooooooo badly that it was almost a breaking point. But I gave myself a half a slice of J's homemade artesan bread with dinner and today I slipped ( Read more... )

Day 2: Eating during the day went well! I had a preprocessed breakfast croissant (my one gimme for the day) and then packed the rest of my snacks and lunch for work. I actually brought too much food if you can believe it! I had grilled some chicken with Mrs. Dash and curry powder and cut it up for a simple salad with cherry tomatoes and one ( Read more... )

my mother came to visit today, with my new nephew and his mother (yay for meeting new people in the world). She called on the way over, planning on bring lunch from Wendy's and wondered if she should bring a salad since I'm on a diet. Something about that word just makes my skin crawl, so it sent me into a bit of venting. "It's not a diet!" I tell ( Read more... )

I have been terrible at logging my food all week and today I forced myself.  It makes me sad to see that my one day's indiscretion of eating a quick meal at work from fast food blew my entire day's calorie counts.  And what's sad is that I find myself hungry already as well as knowing that I did so well for the past week on my food choices.  This ( Read more... )

Success! I've found a nice calorie counting free food journal online that I'm test driving. It is very user friendly and customizable which makes tracking my food pretty simple. Already I've learned that I'm consuming far too little protein (which I knew) and far too many carbs (also knew). In case anyone else is interested in checking it out, ( Read more... )

so in this great effort to reach some dietary and weight goals for myself. I have been doing some research (when I have the time *snorts with laughter* time? what's that?) and have found a lot of useful information. So far I've calculated where I want my goal weight to be and calculated my current numbers on bmi (which though scary, is better ( Read more... )

ok, seriously, the calorie counts on some of the drinks listed made me want to vomit. thank god I don't drink any of them, but it really makes me want to watch what I'm drinking. Worst drinks in the world for people

the complete list is here: All of the dirty stuff

Easter!

Could there have been a better family holiday in the last few years or what? It was a frickin' awesome day. J, lil man, Austin, and I drove up to my mom's house to spend Easter with the family. J found the cd player tape hookup thing, so we enjoyed listening to the first cd of The Secret book on tape. Most of the ride I listened, ( Read more... )

the bite sized milky way caramel bars are next to heaven...seriously. *dies in chocolate caramel orgasm bliss*
