Feeling Happy

That's right.....tomorrow will be 1 week on my diet and I have dine sooooo good.....I have not cheated at all because if I did that would only be hurting me and getting me no where.

I have kept my carbs to 18-20 a day and have been feeling really well. I can also tell that the protein is building up in my body....I told Jeff I have to get some fiber to take!

Anyway....I went back to the gym today because Jeff said with all the protein you are eating you need to take advantage of that.....he said " Angela, if you work out for 3 days a week, like you did today I bet in 4 weeks you will see a huge difference in the way you look"

So, I had a great workout today but I'm gonna be soooooo sore tomorrow but I will go to the gym on Tuesday with Jeff.....he is letting me out of tomorrow.....lol...thank god cause I'm beat today!

I will post my weight and measurements tomorrow.....

Have a great day and have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Feeling Happy

Well, the first day wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I kept my carbs to 16 for the day but really wanted some ice cream last night and became bitchy....lol.....my husband said you can do it and you will get over this rough part.....

He is being very supportive and said if I can't have ice cream he won't eat it either because he said 1.....he doesn't need it and 2....he wants to be supportive to me....so that helps because for me ice cream is a weakness.

Today has been good but I'm battling a headache....not sure if it's my body maybe going through some withdrawals....lol....lord only knows this girly can eat the carbs....my carbs normally are very high so this is an adjustment for me.

Here has been my food intake so far today including tonight's dinner....

Breakfast....

2 eggs  w/salsa & 4 slices of bacon (4 carbs)

Lunch....

Hamburger patty w/burger seasoning & half of a med. banana (12 carbs)

Afternoon snack....

Sugar free jello (0 carbs)

Dinner....

Hamburger Patty w/burger seasoning

1 cup of boiled cauliflower (fresh) (1 carb)

evening snack....

sugar free jello (0 carbs)

17 total carbs for the day

Today's exercise will be my challange from the weight loss group I'm in.....some walking again and maybe some jump roping.....30 minutes for the cardio stuff

Have a great day

Feeling Happy

Yesterday I went back on the low carb diet....I have had hesitation about going back on it because last time I tried it and I got sick....I have had many people tell me it's because I didn't eat the amount carbs I should have been eating.....there were days where my carbs stayed to under 10 some days lower then that.....so this time I have a different approach to it...I'm going to eat the things I'm allowed to have....I have been on the diet since yesterday and this is how my day went

Breakfast

2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon (2 carbs total)

No morning or afternoon snack

Lunch

Salad with chicken in it with 1 tbsp of ranch dressing (2 carbs)

Dinner

Hamburger Patty

Half of med. banana (12 carbs)

Total Carbs ~ 16 for the day

I also went to Sams wholesale and bought a bunch of meats so that I had many options here to eat since I mostly have to stick with meats so I'm well stocked now....lol

I'm looking to lose 25-30 lbs.

My current weight as of this first thing this morning was 155.....my exercise for yesterday was a brisk walk outside for 30 minutes and I'm hoping to make it to the gym today (Tues)

That's all for now.....

Feeling Frustrated

My mood is frustrated because I hate how I can do sooooo freaking good for weeks just to turn around and completely lose it!

I look at the picture I have posted below and think wow you are looking good then comes the food......damnit! By the now you are probably guessing what happened....yeah my weight right back up again....I just can't seem to win ever!

I struggle so much with weight.....you know most people see me and wonder yeah right you need to lose weight.....whatever.....I have heard those words so many times from many people in the outside world, not so much j-land

It's all about feeling comfortable in YOUR own skin and I don't plain and simple.....my weight spiked up....I went back to taking my Internal Flush pills and now my weight is back to 143.5.....I actually went online today and bought myself another diet pill that I know damn well will work........it will be here in a couple of days.....I bought Lipodrene Ephedra Hi-Tech..........yep I bit the bullet and I bought Ephedra, I know it's helped many people lose the undesirable weight they wanted to lose and it's the only thing proven to work.........even my husband said that Ephedra is the only thing that has ever worked and helped many people across the world.....now I know posting this I may get some nay sayers about it........I know about people dropping dead taking and this and that.....I also know that alot of people took higher doses then they were suppose to....people that were falling dead was because there was an problem health wise....I am a very healthy person.

I have tried many diet pills on the market, Xenadrine, Hydroxycut, Trimspa, Slim Quick, Internal Flush and oh god many many more...........I'm the type person that likes results quick and if I dont see I get bummed about working my butt off and not seeing the results.

I'm just frustrated and very tired of having extra weight on me....I will reach my goals of being 120 again.

Feeling Happy

I'm so proud of myself!! I have been working so hard in the gym and stuff and it's finally paying off as long as I don't sabatage myself again.

My hubby this morning came over to me and put his hands on my waist and said you are just feeling so thin and tight these days...I'm so happy when he compliments me....he compliments me no matter what but I know he likes me thinner and tighter. He called me today and said I was bragging about you at work to Jimmy and I'm like OMG what have you said to him....he said that I told him you were getting so thin and tight and Jimmy said Jeff, I saw your wife back months ago when you said she had this weight and I thought your wife is just beautiful....I was sooo touched. That was very nice of him to say.

Well, my current weight is 141.5....soon I'll be in the 130's!!!! Could be as soon as next week!! My goal for right now is 135 but I may decide at that time to go lower. Here is a picture of me right now.....my husband took these of me over the weekend...my kids were being goofy!! LOL

I'm getting there....still need to tighten up more....lol my goal is a size 5 whatever that weight will be

 

Have a great day all!

Hugs

Angela

Feeling Ecstatic

OMG OMG!

I got on the scale today and was thrilled to pieces.....my weight has dropped to 145.0!! I have lost 2 lbs. for the week. I have really really cut my food intake way down. When we go to fast food all I have been getting is a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and a diet soda and its filling! Then at home I don't snack and I have a small portion for dinner. Breakfast, I have been having my slimfast shake and thats it.

My clothes are fitting different and my tummy is really looking slimmer!!

My workout today consisted of cardio, arms, chest and of course abs. I did 10 minutes of cardio and I burned a total of 220 calories and walked at 3.5 for speed at a 25.0 incline.....I don't stay on too long on a treadmill because reading in my weight lifting magazine they say you will lose weight much faster lifting weights and really pushing yourself on your weights and thats what I have been doing and seeing great results....I'm sore they next day but I just gut through it.

I did all my arm and chest exercises and my abs...I'm shocked how fast you can do so many.....I started off lucky if I could do 30.....lol.....today I did 60 on the ab curl machine and another 20 in the roman chair.....I was going to do some on the decline bench but I had to get going and get my kids from school.....so I will more then likely try and get another 30-50 done on my ball that I have here at home.

I'm bound and determined to be in shape before I go to FL in July......8 more lbs and I can reward myself with my belly button piercing.....LOL.....after that my new goal will be 125 and rewarding myself with a tanning package at my gym!

It really helps to see a loss because its helps me to stay motivated and positive and eat less........stay positive and you can and will reach your goals!

Love you all

Angela

Feeling Happy

Since I last posted I have been in the gym daily except 1 day.....I rotate and one day I do legs and carido and abs, next day I do arms, chest and abs etc. Each of my workouts I have really been pushing myself as far as my weights go...it's tough but I just gut through it. My abs I work every workout because that's the one area on my body that I can't stand.....through doing my workouts my tummy is actually looking flatter!!

Yesterday was my middle son's birthday and I was going to "splurge" but before I went to the school to take lunch into him I stepped on the scale to find that my weight has dropped to 145.5!!!!!!! I was soooooooo excited that instead of getting the burger and fries that I wanted I got a salad instead...then later that evening I did have some cake and ice cream but I only had like 3 bites of each and then I pushed the plate away.....I just didn't want anymore.

With seeing results now I don't want to wreck that. Thats the update on me.....have a great weekend everyone!!

Hugs

Angela

Well, I know I'm terrible about keeping up with this journal but I'm going to make a real effort at doing it. I'm going to go back and try to journal what I do daily..........

Well, I went to the gym yesterday with my husband and had a decent workout.....not great for me but better then nothing. I did only 10 minutes on the treadmill and started to feel really lightheaded so it was time to stop.....only burned 150 calories which stunk for me because I can usually kick ass on a treadmill but with being very sick the week before I think that my body just wasn't up for it.

After the treadmill I did all my leg weights and I did great on those. I didn't do any arms, I figured I would do those Monday evening when I meet Jeff there.

My plan is to at least lose 2 lbs. per week over the next 5 weeks. I want to lose 10 for sure and then after that if I egt lower great. Ideally, I'd like to be 120 again.....that was pre-pregnacy weight after the 3rd son. I know I can reach if I just stay focused.

My goal for myself is once I lose the 10 lbs I want to go and have my belly button pierced. I have been wanting to do it for awhile now but I chicken out. I almost had it done this past weekend but I couldn't....my fear of it hurting stops me....even though they told me it doesn't hurt....I'm still a chicken.

I also told Jeff that back in summer I was the weight I'am right now....147 and I was sooooo much more toned. My stomach was looking a lot flatter.....with the way my stomach is right now I would just hate to lift my shirt for someone to pierce my belly button.....ewww....I just hate it.....and back in summer I was this same weight just a lot more toneness to me.

Well, I will get there again just have to start over once again...lol

Thats all for now. Will update after my workout today!

Hugs

Angela

2:08:15 PM EDT

OK.....I woke up this morning with a better outlook on my workouts. I decided that I'm going to try this Wendie Plan and see how it goes.

For breakfast I had 2 eggs with onions and tomatoes in it, 2 slices of toast and 1 cup (8 ozs) of milk.

Here are the points that I'm allowed for my weight of 150...I hope by 1 week on this that I will drop below the 150 mark.

POINTS TARGET - 22  (Weigh 150 -174 lbs) 

• Day 1 - 22 points
• Day 2 - 27 points
• Day 3 - 23 points
• Day 4 - 37 points Super High Day (SHD)
• Day 5 - 22 points
• Day 6 - 26 points
• Day 7 - 24 points

OK....so I'm taking it that 22 is the lowest day I have and that would be my first day....LOL my breakfast was a total of 7.8 points. Lunch will have to be light....I have taken my Hydroxy Cut pills so honestly I'm not very hungry but I know I will have to eat something. I will probably do half a sandwich and a yogurt...that shouldn't be a lot of points.

I'm not sure what I will be making for dinner yet...guess I should get working on that....hahaha

I'm goingt o the gym today and it will be arms and chest day. I have not decided if I want to add in my legs and cardio yet but I'll have that decided before I get there. I'm getting some of a workout here at home getting my house cleaned up.....trying to kill the flu bug virus going around my house....YUCK...my poor kids got ahold of something and they are spending their "Fall Break" sick.

Well, I guess that is all for now. I'm going to really try and keep this journal up because I do need the support, encouragement and kick in the ass from my freinds when needed!! LOL

Have a great day all

Angela
