Friday Weigh In Day
Whoop Whoop! Its weigh in day! I was actually shocked beyond belief that I actually had a loss (although small) considering I went out and ate pizza (although it was healthier than most pizza and from a fine restaurant) and had beer/wine (which always bloats me beyond words!!) last night. Makes me hopeful for this upcoming week. Today has been busy busy busy. I did not really keep up with my food instake (which was not a lot truth be told) and I did not exercise. I'm going to say this is my day off. Back to the grind tomorrow!
Friday BLC Weigh In Day
It's Friday. Time to weigh in again. Not a bad loss. 2.5 pounds. I'll take it. I wish I could lose this much every week. Then I would reach my goal in a healthy time limit. Sadly, I know not every week will be like this. But I will try. That's the best I can promise.

Tooooo busy Tuesday
THOUGHTS:
I had so much to do and planned for today. That ended when a certain little boy woke up complaining his stomach was hurting. So, went back to sleep with him so he would stay asleep and get more rest. Woke up later than I wanted and ate before I exercised because by that time, it had been so long since the last time I ate, I was STARVING!! CRAPtastic! This is life though, so I'll roll with the punches. For lunch, I ate one of my favorite meals (black beans and rice with shredded cheese). I usually add salsa and baked chips (scoops!). I decided to not add salsa and baked chips. It was beans/rice left over from last week, so I wanted to use it instead of making a new lunch. Not sure how often I will eat it as it is not as yummy without the baked chips and salsa. Oh, and its official, I do not crave coffee anymore :)
EXERCISE:
30 mins treadmill (morning) 1.62 miles
FOOD:
1 cup organic cereal (200 cal) 1/2 cup soymilk (50 cal) -bfast
no snack, overslept, so time is out of whack today!
black beans/brown rice/shredded cheese (NO BAKED CHIPS)-lunch
1/4 cup muesli (110 cal), 1 tbsp peanutbutter-snack
large salad + 2 pieces of tilapia fish (160 cal)-dinner

Sunday: angie
THOUGHTS:
I didn't realize, but I probably had a 1600 calorie day. I guess I could have done without the granola bar and the extra chik patty and probably the cheese too. Definately noted! I also need to get in the habit of measuring out my cereal and milk to make sure I'm not eating 2 servings. I was late for church today, so I literally had to eat while I was getting dressed. UGH! Its hard for me to figure out the salad calorie content. I guess I'll try to pay more attention to that. I am measuring out the dressing to 2 tbsp, so that is covered calorie wise. I never really factor in the calorie content of the lettuce since it is so low. Goal for tomorrow: Exercise BEFORE I eat breakfast!

25 mins on treadmill

Crazy TV Friday
So yesterday was a lot of fun. I was on TV!! Woohoo. Wish I could say it was for something a little more exotic, but alas, it was for Potty Training. Yep, I said it. Potty Training. I was contacted through my Moms website (DFWAreaMoms.com) to do this. So if you would like to see the real me live in all my overweight glory, check it out here...
Let the exercise begin....
EXCERCISE:
20 mins treadmill (morning)
FOOD:
2 oranges -bfast
small apple, 6 slices YVES turkey deli (soy protein) and 2 slices med sharp cheese (aprox 390 cal)
raw almonds -snack
granola bar (140 cal) -snack
Big Salad - dinner
banana -snack
THOUGHTS:
I did a lot of self reflection today. It felt good to get on the treamill again. I've been thinking about how I've been neglecting myself when it comes to things that make *me* feel good. Weighing out the fact that I do work hard (work, school, home, parenting)...I decided I deserve to pamper myself once in awhile and am going to concentrate on making myself feel good as I work hard :)

BLC Begins
Today starts another round of the BLC (Biggest Loser Competition) for my Moms board (DFWAreaMoms.com). I joined. My motto is "I'm not in it to win it. I am in it to LOSE it!". If I win, what a bonus. But really I am just wanting the accountability to lose the weight. So I sent in my before photos and my starting weight is below. I plan to post my weigh in here every Friday when I send it in for the competition.
START DATE for DFWAMBLC
FOOD:
1 med apple, 1 med orange 1 tbs of peanut butter - breakfast
pack of roasted almonds (250 calories) - snack
hummus + carrots and oven baked broccoli and cauliflower - lunch
greek yogurt w/honey (250 cal) - snack
tuna sandwich (w/cheese slice, pickles, mustard)
THOUGHTS:
I oven baked broccoli and cauliflower for the first time today. Why have I not done this sooner? It was delish!! So delish, my oldest daughter would not stop eating it after I offered to let her try just one bite lol. I'm going to have to do it again to see if the younger two like it. So quick and easy too! I was impressed :) All you have to do is throw your veggies in a bowl, drizzle some olive oil over (I mixed it around with a spoon), salt + pepper + garlic to taste and put in 450 degree oven for 10 mins (or however long you want, just keep checking) laid out on a baking sheet. I was going to sprinkle some parm cheese on them afterwards, but I forgot. Still yummy as ever!
My stomach starting hurting again late afternoon and still now this evening. I really want to know what is going on :(

Not much to report
I've been having mega stomach pains since yesterday afternoon, so food has not sounded or tasted good at all. Just want to curl up in a ball. My daughter said her tummy hurt tonight too, so crossing fingers it is NOT a virus..ugh! BLC starts tomorrow for the moms group, so hoping I can kick that off feeling better. This SUCKS!

WEIGH-IN DAY: ANGIE
THIS WEEKS LOSS: -2 lbs (yippee!!)
The loss could be associated with my cycle ending, however, my starting weight is a weight that I have been at consistantly for the past year or so, so this might just be the good start I was looking for!!
Major Weight Loss Goal: 24 lbs (22 lbs to go)
1st mini Weight Loss Goal: 5 lbs (3 lbs to go)
1st diet goal: Reduce Coffee...I'm on DAY 7!! and on my way!!
I'm so so proud of myself about the caffeine and I'm glad I didn't start out with saying "I'm stopping 100% from now on"...because I just need to drink it in moderation. But, everyday was way to addictive and way to hard on my body. I'm going to stick with zero caffeine at least 1 more week (giving it two weeks to completely get out of my body and break the habit) before I even give myself the option to have some occasional coffee with a friend. Then, I will be to my next mini goal...hmmm...what to choose lol I like challenging myself!
FOOD:
orange (med size) -bfast
bowl organic cereal w/soy milk - bfast
mixed nuts - snack
lean cuisine pizza (I need to get more creative with lunch, but this is so quick and easy!!) - lunch, cocoa almonds - snack
went out to dinner with a friend, got the large house salad and one draft "light" beer. I SO WANTED to order bad stuff lol..but I'm not ready to have days where I can free for all it.
greek yogurt w/honey - snack

More sleepless nights!
Not being able to sleep at night is really taking its toll. Day #5 of NO COFFEE! I'm really craving it. Or actually, I really want it to wake me up after a horrible, toss turning night of sleep :( I read somewhere that it is good to start out the day eating fruit (on an empty tummy). That the fruit kind of acts like a street cleaner for your insides and cleans you out (so to speak). I'll give it a whirl. I'm not so keen on eating fruit first thing, but who knows! I think I'll have Fridays be my weigh in days since that is the day I first weighed in last week. *edit to add* the fruit worked!

New Year + New Goals
Major Weight Loss Goal: 24 lbs (24 lbs to go)
1st mini Weight Loss Goal: 5 lbs (5 lbs to go)
1st diet goal: Reduce Coffee
Day 1 of no coffee. Yes, I've said it before and said I would stop drinking coffee. But, I can tell that my anxiety gets worse after I drink it. I feel like heaven drinking it, then when it kicks in, it kicks my anxiety into overdrive and I can feel my body raging with nervousness. Its a sick cycle. I told my daughters that it is my goal to not drink it on a daily basis (which I have been!!). However, I will drink it on the occasions I meet up with friends ~ so, it will be in moderation, not dropping totally, but definiately will not be drinking it every single day. Sorry McDonalds, but I will be saving my $1.50 a day habit and putting that $$ to good use somewhere else!
