aww the first day of june...and the heaters are on. wth!!! i'm happy the weather is giving me a chance to get to my goal before i have to break out the mini shorts! lol.
i'm in a pretty good mood today. aside from my sitter having to cancel. my ears are feeling a little better which means i can actually hear!!!! and i'm down to 133 today. i really am leaning towards the prednisone i was on that made me gain that weight. cause i'm off of it and back down. i dotn want to get too hopefull though. i know what that gets me. tomorrow i'll probably be up to 140 or something crazy!
i was thinking that maybe all the activity i do at work is helping. (like a light work out sorta thing) so after i get done with my errands today and eating lunch i'm going to do a light work out at home. maybe a few sit ups and walking on the treadmil or something. not working out for so long and not eating carbs has really made me weak. we'll see how i do. i may not do it. there is a lot of house work that will keep me busy not to mention the yard needs some maintaning.
hope everyone is having a good hump day

so this is kinda the same thing i had the other night just with chicken breast seasoned iwth the mrs dash southwest chipotle cooked on the foreman grill. i only did a cup of the zuccinni "noodles" (yes i'm addictd to them) and then a cup of steamed brocilli. it was really good. i recommend trying the noodles.
so i'm getting a little depressed with this stage of my diet. not sure whats the deal. but i just got off of having my period for a few weeks and now i'm back on it again. i was down to 134lbs on friday and today and yesturday i'm up to 137. i'm really not happy with all of this at all. i dont really know how to stop whats going on. i'm thinking i'm going to give it till thursday (weigh in day) then start working out and going to phase 2. maybe going to phase 2 and working out will give it a little boost. i was going to stay on phase 1 and work out but i think my body will like the extra protien at lunch time so i'll have the energy to work out after the girls go to bed.
i'm kinda nervous to start working out though. i know i'll be sooo sore at first. and tired. hopefully i dont mess up the diet. but something needs to kick it in gear. i have meps and boot camp coming up and i need to be off this diet and down to my goal weight.
after only having a week off and being back on my period is exhausting. it has drained all my energy out of me and all i want is a cookie!!! oh well i'll just take a nap. the chores i had planned for today will still be there later.

i've been trying to post a new blog for quite some time but blogger wouldnt let me log in! wth....so i am hoping this is a long blog we'll see. i have two little ones still running around and i need to get dinner started so i have to take breaks in between typing so i'm sorry if my contexts doesnt seem to make sense. but then again we are talking about me and my thoughts never really do make sense.
SOOOOO.....after 3 weeks of being STUCK at 141.4 i'm happy to say that i am at 136 as of this morning. hopefully i'll get back to my 5lbs a week average again!!! cause those are GREAT! also i'm thrilled to say i'm actually wearing a pair of stretch pants. and they look amazing on me. i'm gonna have to pick up some of my own. i borrowed these from nicks cousin the other day and havent returned them yet.
the one thing i DONT like about losing weight is my face. it looks like a drug addicts face. maybe when i start toning my face will get some meat on the bones. or maybe i'll just get used to it. god knows a tan would probably help the black circles under my eyes and the pale complextion!
everyday i get closer and closer to my goal but some days i just feel like it will never end. i get frustrated and begin to give up hope. i just have to stick with it and keep on going. now that iknow my goal is within reach NOT cheating is getting harder and harder. i can literally tastes all the yummy foods i see.
luckily i have found new reciepes that i love. i got a new dressing. the walden farms asian dressing and marinade. tastes way better as a marinade! here is the reciepe. (again the amounts of marinade and timed cooked is up to you)
5oz cut up chicken breasts
1 cup (1lrg) green bell pepper
1 cup broccili, green onions, jalepenos
walden farms asian marinade.
olive oil
soak the cut up chicken breasts in the marinade while the pan and oil is heating up
cook chicken in oil till about half way done. remove from pan.
steam in same pan with some water and asian marinade the veggies. cover and simmer
when veggies are just about to your liking throw chicken back in the mix, cover and simmer till desired liking.
i add more dressing to mine. i dont add any seasonings. its good jsut as is with a salad on the side.
i have noticed that i LOVE eggs on this diet. the thing i have found i miss the most is that i dont eat breakfast (yet) so having eggs for dinner lets me pretend i DO get the breakfast. plus its fast and easy.
i did find 2 reciepes for zuccini noodles and baked kale. they both sound good. but i dont have what ever it is i need to make the noodles. :( let me know if anyone has one i can borrow before i buy one
i think this is good for now. i have to work in the morning. which is hard enough to do with out extra foods to snack on. my energy level seems to be dropping. i need carbs soon. lol!

come on fucking really!!!! seriously!!!! 3rd week in a fucking row at 141!!! i really hope i have a change by next thursday. otherwise i'm phasing off having my cheat day and starting again. also i've been on my period for just as long almost. its getting old. FAST!! hopefully phasing off and starting again gives me the boost i need to lose the last 20lbs. i'm so beyond frustrated right now.
not to mention i got NO sleep last night. nick comes home at like 2am and he has the tv in the room sooo loud that it wakes me up then natalie crawls in WIDE AWAKE at like 3am. then the power goes out at like 330 i finally doze of at like 4am and then the power comes back on and with everything beeping it wakes me up! supposed to be a beautiful day out and all i want to do is sleep! and mope about not losing weight. but whatever.
we'll see what next week brings about. please god let it be a weight loss week not a stand still!!! i haven't cheeted and i've been very very good. i dont see why i'm being punished :( not sure what to really do right now though. being at a stand still isnt fun anymore. i can do a week of no loss thats fine but three weeks. and just about as long on my period. arg!!! and i know they are linked. that its proven that you have less weight loss on your period weeks. but come on cut me some slack mother nature and BACK OFFF!!!!!

its been a while since i've blogged. i've been pretty discouraged with this diet. i was stuck at 141 for about 12 days! just yesturday i finally weighed in at 138.8. which is where i'm still at today. the joke about the last 20 lbs being the hardest is still true on this diet where the weight magically seems to melt off of you. i didnt cheat though! i kept with it. even though nick made delicious ribs one night. and there are still some in the fridge as we speak. everyday i weighed the same was a battle to keep from cheating. it just didnt seem worth it to continue the diet without any loss. lets hope that there wont be another "platue". i can't afford one. i want to be off this diet already and i still have 18lbs to go and then a month of phasing. I should be getting married the end of june and i'm still debating if i am going to cheat on that day or not. still haven't decided exactly.
found a new protien that is way super cheap and tastes amazing! its the muscle milk powder from costco. all i need is 3/4th scoop of it in 7ozs water and its has a great rich flavor. i will probably continue to buy this protien after the diet is over. for those days at work when i just need a snack and i dont want to have chips and sodas like i used to do.
can't wait to go to boot camp though. i'm gonna come back sooo toned, and looking hot. i'll miss my girls though. :( but it will help my family out in the long run so i know its a good thing.
i havent been feeling too hot the last couple of days, my throat is killing me. which sucks n this diet cause i used to like to eat chips to kinda scratch my throat as i'm eating them but i can't. soy sauce cause of the salt kinda helps a little. not sure how i'm going to do at work tomorrow feeling like this but a girls gotta work right!
i have a lot of ppl asking me about this diet and if i can give them the information and such. but its really hard to give out. i wish i could scream it out from the top of the roof so everyone can loose weight and build confidence. but its a lot of work explaining the diet. IF they even do it. my cousin is doing it right now and she isnt have results like i would have thought she would have. but everyone is different. my results go from AWESOME to eh...this week sucks. lol! so i'm kinda hesitant about letting ppl in on the diet. i would feel bad if it doesnt work.
tomorrow is weigh in day and i'm hoping for something good. maybe another couple of lbs. hmmm...i'll be happy just with some ounces lost. i've lost track of what week i'm on too. loL!
hope everyone has a great night and enjoys the sun tomorrow'
