BLAH!!

i'm sooo tired today! i dont know what my deal is. i want to just eat anything salty. like chips and salsa with extra salt on it!!!! ARG!!!! i feel like i'm getting discouraged. but thats easy to do after a period week. no weight loss in a whole week is a big deal to me. but i'm already down 4lbs for this week and i have till thursday to hopefully lose more.

easter was HARD. very hard. i made a lot of cakes and junk and couldnt even taste what it was like! everyone seemed to enjoy them so i assume i did an okay job. not to mention all the goooooood food that everyone else brought! but its okay. 27 more to go. i just keep telling myself....about 6m ore weeks and i'm free.

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!!!

although i've been to this point before, then i changed my weight goal. when i'm off of phase 1 i'll get excited. that means more food at my lunch time!!!!!! then phase 2 is only for like 10lbs, that should go by quick then 2 weeks for both phase 3 and 4!!!!! i just want the next 17lbs to fly by already!

Feeling pretty good about my switch to 120lbs, I'm thinking its the best idea. Since i'm already dedicated to this diet i might as well go fo the gold. and i've been thinking about it the last few days and now i'm sure its what i want. sucks to somewhat GO BACK 10lbs when i was getting soooo close but its all for the best. kinda nervous about hte next couple of days....i switched my protien to something at walmart. its shaves a few bucks off every two weeks. every penny counts. lol. i've been using the same protein powder for 8 weeks now and its worked great so switching makes me nervous that i'll GAIN weight like the label on the protein says. LETS HOPE NOT. i borrowed some protein from a neighbor for yesturday and still managed to loose a pound by this morning so i dont think there will be much of a problem. ALSO....i finally did something out of the fish section of the dinner protiens you can have. I did a shrimp stir fry. shrip and garlic salt sautee'd in olive oil and then add broccili, mushrooms, green onions and jalepenos. YUM! i will say i did use way too much jalapenos. but it was still good, it was nice ot have fish. i love fish but its usually too expensive. but shrimp you cna buy frozen for like 5 bucks, and one bag is two servings for me. so not too bad. I really can't wait to be able to eat regular food again though. to not have to think so hard about something NEW to eat for dinner. tonight nick and the girls had chicken & spinach pesto lasagna.!!! it took me forever to make but it looked sooo good!! i just wanted to have one small heaping section. but i didnt :( oh well all in good time i guess.

so far its been a great week! weighed in on thursday at 157, and today i am at 154.8. I think its been a successful week so far! but its been a hard one too. Went to a friends birthday bbq last night and there was sooo many great foods. i was getting hungry just looking at them. i ended up going home early cause i cant drink and i knew i would have had a blast if i could have. :( but it should be all over with very soon. and then i can go back to having fun wiht my friends in moderation. (of course drinking has a lot of calories so i have ot take it easy) another thing i think i have decided on is to change my goal weight down to 120. i figure its only 10lbs. so that would be like adding 2 more weeks to it. not that big of a deal. i changed it cause i figured when this diet is over i will probably gain some weight back just with toning and exercising alone! so if i stop at 130 then i could be back up to 140 and i dont want that. if i go to 120 i may go to 130. just giving myself a little cushioning. not quite sure yet did easter pictures yesturday with my girls. Can't wait too see how they turned out! i'm not usually big on pictures but i figured why not. Even though it was still cold i wore a skirt lol! i had to, its supposed to RAIN for the next 10 days. ARG!!!!

With all the stress I am going through right now. I have still managed to keep with the program. What I really want is candy and chocolates, and salty foods, chips soda, fried foods. Crazy erics...ect ect ect. I am not getting any of those things. I am very close to being done. As of this morning I am 157.4lbs. VERY close to being done. Daily weight loss is helpfull to keep your goal straight. I just want to eat food when I want to eat it. Like now, I want popcorn...with lots of salt....CANT HAVE IT!! Sometimes it kills me! but i survive. Then the next morning I lost 1 to 2 lbs and I forget about the CRAVINGS I've had for numerous things. I've gotten really into baking on this diet. Not sure if its cause I can't eat any of the foods or not. But I am working on something for Easter that I hope everyone will love. I dont know why i'm soooo obsessed with baking though. But its fun. And I can't eat it so its guilt free for me! lol! 27.4 pounds to go! 20 more to go until I am off phase 1 can't wait to start saving money on protien by NOT having it for lunch. This stuff is not cheap. arg.

oh yeah! the sun is out. going to a movie with stephanie! gonna be a good day!. I was hoping this morning I'd be down to under 160, but I will settle with 160 even. That means tomorrow i should be under 160. I can't believe I only have 30lbs to go! I love my weight loss ticker too!!! its great! I like that it does the math for me. Whenever the sun is out I get really excited for this summer! I'm really excited to look good. to not feel uncomfortable at the lake or at a pool. Or even just being able to look good in a pair of shorts or a cute sun dress! I LOVE the t-shirt style dresses that were out last summer and I've always wanted to wear them. Hopefully this summer I will be able to wear them!!!! super excited. I just wish this last 30lbs comes off as fast as the first 31 did!!! i still can't believe i weight 230 when chloe was born. this diet is amazing. and it will only get better. i have the know how to eat healthy I know what foods to stay away from, and i know how to eat in moderation. so i dont think i'll have any problems KEEPING the weight off. Plus at that size it will be WAY easier to exercise. i'm excited to start working on my abs. and toning my body... just all around looking good!!!
