Days 23 & 24

So much for my posting every night.

Monday
Breakfast - grabbed a cereal bar
Lunch - bean soup
Dinner - more bean soup

Tuesday
Breakfast - Bowl of my cereal
Lunch - chinese
Dinner - haven't really eaten dinner yet still full from chinese

Ok so this is the whole reason for the post. I found this book called choose to lose and it seems like it will be a great help. Instead of not being allowed anything you are allowed whatever you want you just have to watch the calories from fat that you are eating. It gives you an allowance per day of how many fat calories that you are allowed to eat and it tells you how many minimum calories that you have to eat in order to maintain a certain weight. I just started reading it and I'm pretty excited about it. I won't exactly get to start it tomorrow as I have a morning meeting and we are all having to go to Olive Garden for lunch. I'll be getting the soup and salad of course. Only this time with out the cheese. :)

Well if anyone wants to tell me their ideal weight I'll let you know what the book says you should be eating for fat calories. I'm supposed to be eating no more than 351 fat calories a day to be in the "healthy for my height" range.

Here's to hoping. I wanna be hot.

Days 20, 21 & 22

Well Friday night we went to the rehearsal dinner for Mike's wedding, it was a mexican buffet. I need to get back to posting every day but I've been so busy. I'm forgetting what I had. I know that I've drank a lot of beer and tequila this weekend. I know I haven't had any fast food but I did have pizza last night. It was fan freaking tastic let me tell you!

Ok Friday wedding rehearsal and dinner then to Blondies in Detroit
Saturday wedding
Sunday hangover day.

I know this post makes absolutely no sense I'm exhausted. So starting tomorrow I'll be posting daily again.

Today I had a bowl of honey nut cheerios and a soup-in-a-bread-bowl thing from the Renaissance Festival. I took an hour walk in the Seven Lakes state park. I would've been there longer, but I didn't realize that they allow hunting back there. I left after I ran into a group of hunters (I posted pics on my myspace page).

We have no thawed food, so once Brian gets home we're going to decide where we want to eat for dinner.

So I didn't wake up early enough today to eat at home... my fault. I stopped for gas at speedway and thought I would just get something there instead of fast food... So I got a turkey and cheese sandwich sub thing, lets just say I don't recommend it... lol so far no coke today....

Today Brian and I went to the cider mill and got donuts. Bad, bad, bad, I know. And I failed completely at my goal of getting up early to go for a walk before work. I just can't pull myself out of bed for some reason.

Today I ate some vegetable soup, a ham sandwich, steak and potato for dinner, and of course, cider and donuts.

I did get Brian to go walking with me this evening around our neighborhood instead of going to Dairy Queen.

I found this article from Yahoo, about what foods to completely avoid in vending machines:

Day 19

Well found out yesterday that I may be going in for surgery on my knee. My knee was so disgustingly swollen yesterday after going to the doctor. He screwed me all up. Thinks I've torn my miniscus in my knee. So that is going to mess up my weight loss.

Thursday
Breakfast - cereal
Lunch - bowl of cereal after I couldn't eat another veggie burger make me gag I want meat
Dinner - Lean Cuisine bowl
snacks - apple, ice cream

I know I know I had ice cream but I was sad and swollen so why not. :)

Yesterday I had
a cup of organic yogurt with organic blueberries and strawberries
a 3 inch sub sandwich
spanish rice

Today
a cup of organic yogurt with organic blueberries and strawberries
spanish rice

down to 1 20 oz coke a day at work. Water and Honest T mostly to drink.

I am very proud of those who haven't cheated!! We must get the others back on track. Welcome Hilary and Good Luck

I am starting a detox tomorrow.... I have done this one before and was amazed at the results, but it is A LOT of work, and A LOT of vitamins.... yummy ;0

Breakfast is a tofu smoothie... so looking forward to that!

Lunch and dinner is 1/2 c. brown rice and steamed veggies. For dinner you can have 3 oz. fish or grilled chicken. Oh, and all the veggie broth you want!!! (Homemade with seeweed! Mmmmm.)

I know it sounds so delish, right? But I lost like 10 lbs in a week on it and lost my sugar cravings (and my appetite).

Wish me luck!

Cheater here again....

Ok so I cheated again! Terrible I know and had I not gone all day without eating and been a raging Bia!! I probably wouldn't have eaten it. Was out w/ the parents and they stopped at mcdonalds and wouldn't stop any where else. They say you can eat here or you will be hungry while we run the rest of their erronds...at 630pm, so I ate at McDonalds. Had a fish filet and a small coke w/no refills. I felt a little better after seeing the article that Jaime has that said the fish filet was one of the better things to get at mcdonalds.... Well back on track now if only able to just elminate all bad foods.

Day 18

So I don't want to have a bad girls day now I've decided. I've done so far and I don't want to tempt myself. So I'm opting out of badgirls day.

Wednesday
Breakfast - south beach cereal bars (no milk)
Lunch - south beach cereal (yay we have milk)
Dinner - Coneys. I know not healthy but it wasn't fast food and I was out riding with the deps so you gotta stop where they stop.

Snacks- had 3 beers after work not so good either, and a piece of lisa's pizza. I gotta get back to good.

I'm worried about exercise right now. It seems I may have torn my miniscus in my knee and I might have to go get surgery going for the mri on Tuesday. GRRRRR. But hopefully it will be fixed so I can start walking again.

P.S.
My friend Hillary may be joining us, Hi Hillary!

I am modifying my previous goal. My goal is to now get my big butt out of bed before 11am and go for a walk BEFORE work, rather than stay after.


I'm all for a bad girl day!

Day 16 & Day 17

Ok I'm getting to the pissy point I believe. I want something. I'm not sure what it is but damn I want it. Someone help me figure out what it is. I can tell you what it is not. It is not fat free pudding, or fat free jello. I want me some horrible non health food goodness. And I want it now!

Monday
Breakfast - scrambled eggs & ham
Lunch - Turkey pastrami sandwich
Dinner - Buffalo Wild Wings (this was a fundraiser for Thom's nephew so I had to participate. Didn't necessarily have to order hot wings but I needed the spiciest spicy I could find I was hoping it would sweat the sickness out of me.
Snack- Can of diced pineapple

Tuesday
Breakfast - My cereal
Lunch - slices of ham and provolone no bread fat free pudding
Dinner - Lein Cuisine bowl and a fat free pudding
Snack - can of fruit cocktail


So I was thinking maybe we should have a bad girl day. I dunno maybe my weak will power is getting to me. But I was thinking at the 1 month point of no fast food it'd be a little reward. Let me know what you think I'll make a poll out of it too.

ughhhhhh

Healthy food is costing me way too much money!!!
Today I had
Blueberry activia
pineapples and blueberries
chicken and mashed potatoes
and a fountain coke (had too I was getting another migraine)
Jaime sorry you caught some germs and hope you feel better. I felt a little better today, but I am still kinda weak.

Days 14 & 15

What the heck. I don't post for 2 days and everyone runs out and gets some fast food. Sheesh people. Will Power!

addiction
noun
1.
being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs)
2.
an abnormally strong craving

Replace narcotic drugs with fast food and there we are. All of us. Some of us are in recovery and some of us are obviously in denial. It's been 2 weeks and we've had 3 cheats. That to me sounds like a serious addiction problem. Ok kids lets rally behind one another and get strong. Do what JP did. Send someone a text message, they'll guilt you out of it. It's for your health, this is why we are doing this.

If you haven't seen supersize me I suggest that you rent it. It's insane.


Saturday
Breakfast- didn't have one it's dance day doesn't give much time in the am. Ended up having a breakfast bar at some point.
lunch- made some home made turkey soup
dinner - made a meatloaf had half a slice of that then went to the bachelorette party. Had some pasta and a salad there, oh yeah had a penis cookie and a jello shot too!

Sunday
Breakfast - Cereal
Lunch - Jimmy John's we were at Great Lakes shopping and this was the healthiest thing around. I had an unwich. (note technically this is fast food but this is one of the ones we decided was ok) I had a coke as well but it tasted all funky so i dumped it out and got a crystal light instead. I guess when you go so long with out coke it ends up tasting kinda funky.
Dinner - I had 1 1/2 red hot sausages. Those things are spicy.
Dessert - I took Maya to Mr C's for some ice cream since she got all of her spelling words right. I had a scoop of mint chocolate chip. Best freaking ice cream scoop I've ever had lol.

Haven't gotten much exercise done as it's been pretty hard for me to breathe lately since someone passed on their germs to me. I know it's no excuse, I've gotta wii fit it up.

This ones for you Melissa!

I did it! I cheated............... really bad! Well lets see, I was just helpin Melissa feel...not so left out lol.. Ok, no excuses I had fountain pop! and Taco Bell! If my mom hadn't paid for it I wouldn't have cheated, but it was quick and easy and we were running really late and well..... it happens. But that was it.... Just blew it one day, back on track now!
