Total to date: 8 inches  

Im not going to lie and say that I wasn't worried about my measurement day.  I have slacked all month in every area, BUT at the same time, still tried to eat the best I could and to work out, even if it was at home.  I was more worried that my inches went up and if you really look at it, some of them did, like in my arms and thighs.  Those honestly don't bother me, because I know I'm losing weight, and since I work out my arms and legs the most, I can tell that their toning and not getting fatter.  I'm not saying I'm gaining muscle, but I can tell their toning.  I really try not to use alot of weights, because I do want to still lose weight and work on that and not gain muscle yet, but just to keep it toned.


I was happy with the results considering I felt like a lazy arse this month.  One week, went into two weeks, into 3 and what do you know....the month is almost gone.  I keep thinking what it would of been like if I pushed myself like I did the first month and the results.  I am still proud of myself though for choosing better and drinking more water and eating alot cleaner.  I know it didn't seem like it from the first month, but to be "lazy", I still think I did pretty good and the results showed it.  


I do hope that March will be alot better and I get back on the wagon.  My weigh in is later this month of March, early April and I would love to lose another 20 pounds.  I guess I need to start having a mind frame of it, maybe 5 pounds a week and see where it gets me.  I know I can do this!!!!! :)  


I know I need to find a scale too, because that every week is what motivated me to see the results.  It pushed me harder and had me looking forward to something, in a bitter sweet way.


So the results are in for February and we took pictures again of the same poses and in the same clothes for my results.  I am hoping one day to share with you the nasty pictures of my body, lol, hopefully when I'm alot thinner and more in shape, but until then, those are for me :)

Day 55

I woke up, went to church and had a great time!!!  Went to lunch with my bestie....

Had:

Long Johns 2 fish, rice, corn, fries
2 Strawberry Lemonades
Orange juice


I also walked a mile!!!! :)

Day 54

I worked all day today and was tired and ran ragged at work, but at the same time it was a good day at work.

I had:

2 wheat fajita rolls with cheese and tortilla strips
water
chicken tenders w/sweet and sour
Foot long Steak and cheese from Subway, mayo, cheese, lettuce, bell pepper, onion, pickles

Day 53

I was having a down day today, had some errands to run, but really didn't feel like myself.

Food intake:

2 sloppy Joe's
bread and butter pickles
water
Braums fries
Chocolate shake

Day 52

Today was picture day!!!!!  Don't judge me...haha.  I just don't see a difference at all in any of my pictures.  It feels useless sometimes, but at the same time, I am wearing all black.  My friend each  month on the 25th takes a picture of me with my bra on, so I guess then you can see a difference, but I never looked at them to be honest.

So today my food intake was:

Water
wheat tortillas, grilled chicken, onion, bell pepper, cheese
tortilla strips
fresh pineapple
nuts

Went to the gym today:

arm weights at home before gym
30 minute treadmill
30 minute room
legs and back room

Day 51

So I guess its official that I wont have any weigh ins in February.  I worked ALL day Wednesday that I know that alone was a good workout.  I haven't found a scale yet, but I guess its okay.  I'm kinda scared to weigh myself anyways at this point.

My food intake today was:
Water
2 sloppy Joe sandwich's
1 mini musketeers
strawberry wheat bar
1/2 watermelon
salad, with meat, cheese, Romaine lettuce, tortilla strips

Day 50

I know this blog isn't the best anymore, I used to talk alot and used to be so focused on losing weight and weighing in and since the scale left and my gallbladder happened, I kind of just lost hope, but at the same time, still try and eat as good as I can.  It was hard for February, because I didn't buy the groceries like I normally do early every month, so I didn't have the healthy food available to me.

I did it today....
Raisin Bran with banana
orange juice
popcorn chicken
BBQ Bites
2 fried chicken breast
Luigi ice

Exercise.....

100 crunches
100 leg lifts
and tons of arm exercise....

to let you know about my arm exercise....its killer for me.  I push myself so hard to where I'm hurting and I struggle even lifting it one more time, but I do and I have to walk it off.....Some people might think when I work out at home that I'm slacking, but in reality, I'm dripping with sweat. 

Day 49

I have still slacked off, but still do watch my portions, water intake and try to exercise as much as I can.

Today I had

Water
Taco Salad with chips and wheat tortilla X2
Luigi Ice
Chips ahoy cookies
1/2 watermelon
orange juice

and also I exercised at home with ton of arm weights, 100 crunches and 100 back legs

Day 48

I woke up went to church, but was in a hurry, so I didnt get to eat breakfast.  Then after church I went to the grocery store and 3 hours later, I was so weak and had the worst headache that I ended up just grabbing something to eat on the way home.  I went to chicken express and ate for the day....

3 chicken
2 corn on the cob
3 rolls
Luigi Ice
chips ahoy cookies


The cookies and cake is killing me.  Their all so good :)

Day 47

3 eggs with jelly
cake
Quisidilla Salad from Elchicos

chips, queso, and salsa
Lemonade


I worked today and then didn't eat till later.  I know I need to get on track with eating 3 meals and 2 snacks.  It really is hard for me and I know Ive said that before, but I struggle with it.  I just want to at when I want too, and sometimes it might just be twice a day, but I know its not good.

Day 46

I haven't been working out either which sucks, but I have no excuse!!! Today I was so sick, that I laid in bed all day and took a couple of hydrocodones which in turn made me sleep all day.

I had leftovers from Carinos

This is how I felt that day......  :(

8 nuggets
Salad with ranch from McDonald's
Powerade
Cheeseburger
Cake

Talk about a fatty above.....just horrible.....

Day 45

Today was picture day and I didn't take one.  I am telling you....I have been slacking and I hate how easy it is to just stop doing something that you worked so hard, but I am determined to finish what I started so its on to getting back on track.  Today I had:

3 eggs with jelly
water
BBQ chicken
cake
chicken rosemary from Carinos which included Pasta, green beans, veggies
Bellini

Day 44

Today is supposed to be my weigh in day......I still haven't found a scale and since Ive been slacking the past 2 weeks, I would be scared to weigh myself anyways.  I am hoping to find one soon, maybe this week.  I do have one place in mind, but I need to call and see what they say and how they feel.

Today I had......

3 eggs with jelly
orange juice
cantaloupe
Spaghetti (2 times)
cake
water


I for some reason at work thought I packed my fork, and when I got home it was still sitting on the counter, but my coworker found me this and well, it worked.....better than my hands!!! :)

Day 43

I ate 3 veggie thins

Taco bell
Fruit punch
Sandwich (cheese, bread, lean turkey, mustard, pickles)
water
onion rings
chocolate shake

Im telling you, all I wanted was fried food and sweets.....

Day 42

I have totally slacked, in fact this is the next Monday with me writing this, but I wrote down everything that I ate and did, so I'm going to catch you up this next week.  First I need to say that my PMS this month has kicked my butt.  I was lazy and craved all the bad foods and went with it.  I knew if I tried to fight myself with it that I was going to be losing.  So for today I did eat:

4 eggs with jelly
orange juice
Pickles
2 Vegan burgers with cheese and mustard
Banana Split
Cherry limeade

I did exercise and do 100 crunches and worked out my arms

Day 41

I'm coming to the conclusion that because I don't have a scale to weigh in and I don't even know where this next week I'm going to weigh in, it actually has discouraged me on this diet.  Weighing in, is something that I looked forward to and wanted to see results, but since Wednesday I don't have anything to look forward too, Ive noticed Ive cared less.  It needs to stop and I need to get back on the wagon.

Today I had chicken,  potatoes, corn and green beans for lunch and dinner.  I also ate my half pint of rocky road that I had like a week or 2 ago, that I finished today.

I also walked 2 miles around the lake.

Important for my fridge!!!!  This spot was made just for water!!!

I want to try and get back to everything starting Monday about exercising and eating right!!!  I had my splurges this weekend, but its time to get go HAM!!!

Day 40

Again.....I had another hamburger with fries and a cherry limeade from Braums....oh and a double fudge Sundae.....

Did I not say that PMS does that too me??  I am glad though that 3-7 days a week its when I only want sweets and horrible food.

I did eat 3 bbq chicken breast, popcorn and water too for Breakfast and Lunch.  The popcorn is 94% fat free,  so its not to too bad!! 

I did work 5 1/2 hours this day so that's why the food is kinda off and weird.  I had no time to snack or even drink my water at work, because we were so busy.

I know I'm struggling and getting into my old routine since my sleeping and days are getting confused with 3 meals and 2 snacks.  I know that's what helped me lose weight with working out and I just need to get balanced again and start doing that again.  I know we all have our own struggles and eating at certain times are mine.

No workout today....my body has been getting sleepy with the PMS this time. :(

Day 39

I was bad today.......super bad!!!!

I had another hamburger (craving hamburgers as if I was pregnant) with fries and a Lemonade and then for dinner had Saumaris with chicken, rice and 4 salads cause my friend didnt want hers.

I mean, just horrible!!!

I didnt work out either, because we went to the casino that night, but dang!!!!!!

I guess we all fall off the ban wagon, just gotta get back on!!!

Day 38

I wont lie.....I know I am in my stages of PMS and so that calls for more sleep, more fatty foods and more sweets.  Its something that I think most women deal with, not our faults....its Eves, let just blame her cause it makes things easier for us, haha!!!

So today I started of healthy of course, with Chicken and white rice with some orange juice and the other half of my mini watermelon with organic salt!!!! (oh so yummy)

Then I got off work and well a Hamburger sounded yummy from Braums.  Even when I ate bad alot before, Braums hamburgers were always too big, so I looked and they have a Jr burger with the vegetables on it and it was PERFECT!!!!  I got me some fries and even a chocolate shake.  I was taking a dare because well, I'm not supposed to have high trans fat and also dairy, but I really didn't care and just wanted it.

I waited about a little over an hour and then went to the gym.  I got to my 3 miles and let me tell you, I rushed the past 10 minutes, because I didn't think I could get to 400 calories and to 3 miles, but when 50 minutes was in, I cranked it to 15% and semi ran.  This older man came by and I had my headset on and said, "man your a going, your heart rate is up".  When your on there and you hold on to a certain spot it has your heart rate and well....it was blinking red, which is good, cause that's what you need to do when you work out.  The reason why I didn't go HAM on the treadmill was because I did eat that big meal and didn't want to throw it up or upset my stomach.  But anyways....I did reach my goals and I wanted to jump up and down and I'm sure if my friend was working, I would have, but since it was a young punk, I didn't want him to think I was too crazy!!!

I hate being this wide around the belly area.....grrrrr.....its a working process tho

I did go ahead that night and go do my 30 minute circuit and the leg and back room!!! :) 

Day 37

I have slacked on this.  I know its because today was my weigh in day and when I went to go weigh in at the scale that they said they were going to have till April and that it wasn't a problem to go weigh in, well....it was gone!!!  I even called the next day and he said, it will be back at the end of March.  NOT COOL!!!!  So I never did weigh in and I'm still looking for a place to find a scale.  While I was there, the guy did give me a scale and it said I gained 3 pounds.  He even told me that everyone complains about that scale.  Its just a pain in the butt to me that I cant find an accurate, good scale that stays in the same spot for a long period of time.  I know the Y has one in the girls locker room, but that was off about 6 pounds.  If I knew exactly my weight on the same day and found another scale, I could just add or subtract, but I really don't know what I am now, and I do want to be accurate.

So today, I ate 2 baked chickens with white rice with shake in bake on it
water
half a mini watermelon with organic salt
10 tootsie rolls

and the reason why I ate the tootsie rolls is because when I went to the gym that night I had gone on my hour treadmills and 30 minutes in the circuit room and while I was in the room, I kept getting light headed and I was actually getting PISSED!!!! I stopped and went to the front and ate some sugar and it wouldn't go away.  I had 4 bottles of water so I know I wasn't dehydrated and also I was shaking.  Ive noticed even at work Ill start to shake a little.

Its things like that that aggravate me.  I want to be fine and healthy, I want to be able to push myself as hard as I can without any cramps, shaking, light headiness and any other eruptions. 

So for today, I have no idea what my weight is.  Its a bummer, but I guess these things happen.

Day 36

I wont lie.....I was lazy most of the day.  I just wanted to relax and not think of having to do anything.  I had every intention on working out that night and go to the gym, but I didn't.  Instead I busted out in my room.

I had eaten 3 bowls of chicken Fettuccine Alfredo today.  I snacked on some nuts and had 2 toasts with jelly and drank just water.

That night I did do 100 crunches, a million arm exercise where I was hurting bad (which is good) and some squats and leg exercise.  I also stretched a little bit.  Lets just say, I was freezing with ton of clothes on before I worked out, I was bundled under the blanket with a jacket on and my house shoes on while laying down and when I started working out, my clothes and shoes started to come off cause it was getting hot.

I'm glad I did do something and not anything.  I had to reasoning or excuse to not go, but I will admit, my shows were coming on back to back for 3 hours and I got comfortable as I watched them and by the time they were over, I got tired.  I had to work the next day, so I needed to get some sleep and shower before bed. 

My weigh in is tomorrow and I'm kinda antsy to see what it will be since I didn't work out for a week.  I guess we will see......

Day 35

Today was a good day!!!!  I woke up and went to to work.  I had a great phone call, which will be on my other blog and I ran some errands after work.  It was so beautiful outside that I wanted to go climb the dirt hill that we have here in town.  The bestie and I went and walked up it and let me just say, that it was 60 times more easier than ever before.  I guess the incline on the treadmill sure has helped.  The only thing that killed me was the cold air in my throat and lungs, it burned so bad. 

After that I went home and picked up my other friend and we went to KFC and then worked out.  I wanted to hug the treadmill machine because I missed it so much.  I really don't know what I'm going to do when I have my surgery and I wont be able to work out for a couple of weeks.  I am not looking forward to it.

So my food intake today was:

view from the dirt hill

Breakfast: 2 toasts with jelly

Lunch: Sunchips

Dinner: Grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, bread

Snack: Luigi Ice, nuts

I did 202 calories on the treadmill, about 30 minutes, then leg and back room and 30 minute circuit.

The thing I wanted to do was go hard in the gym, but new A. I just ate food that wasn't sure was going to kill me or not and B. I didn't want to overdo it since it was my first workout since last Monday.  So I pushed as hard and far as I could to feel comfortable, but hopefully the next workout will be harder and better.

Day 34

Today I had another gallbladder attack.  It was horrible!!!!  I told my friend about it and she asked me what did it feel like, and all I could tell her was it felt like a heart attack.  I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk, I had so much pressure around my chest, back and stomach area and I instantly got hot and was sweating.  Luckily it didn't last too long, but I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to drive myself to the ER or not. 

I went on a limb and had 2 toasts with jelly for breakfast which was okay.  For lunch I had 2 chicken sandwich's and some spinach.  I know you might be asking, why 2?  Well, I was freaken hungry and when you cant eat food, you just want to eat anything and the little you do eat, you want to eat it till your full.  It was my mistake cause about 2 hours after eating is when I had my attack.  My sandwiches was just wheat bread, a little miracle whip and some chicken breast.

After that I was scared to eat, so I had some sun chips that night.  I know, fried right?  But I could eat it to where if I felt uncomfortable, I could stop and it wasn't filling.  That night before bed, I treated myself to a Luigi Ice after I walked around the lake 2 times.  So I also went 2 miles of exercise and felt great afterwards, but wasn't sure if I should work out or not, but when I did walk those 2 miles, I sure did miss it!!!

Day 33

I was still sore today and I was still scared to eat.  I ate a bowl of veggie soup, ate some nuts that are good for the digestive system and a chicken sandwich.  At night I also ate 2 Lougi ice that was delish.  Its such a good little snack that's not fattening at all.

I had plans to workout and so I got my clothes on, socks and shoe on one foot and just knew I shouldn't.  I called a couple of friends and they informed me that I need to rest and probably wait till Monday to work out.  I knew that was going to kill me, just because it was last Monday when I worked out last, but knew that I was going to either hurt myself or over do it and be extra sore the next day.

So I stayed home and relaxed, I knew it was the smart thing to do!

Day 32

I went out of town today.  My friend got her a new car, so we decided to make it a road trip just for kicks and giggles.  We had no plans on buying anything particular or going anywhere, but just wanted to go by the Rangers stadium and the mall.  I wanted to go to Torrid in the mall and of course there is a Chick-fil-a in there, so it made us both happy. 

The whole time, I didn't know what I was going to eat.  I love going on road trips and going out of town cause you get to try new stuff.  I always try to eat at a place we don't have here and since I was on my "Barat diet", I really didn't know what I was going to do. 

When we got to the mall, they have a good size food court and I looked at all the places.  You don't realize how much food is fried until you actually look at everything.  I did end up finding this Japan place that had teryiaki chicken with steamed rice and vegetable and powerade to drink and so that's exactly what I got.

I took a nausea pill the hospital gave me right after I ate, because I was literally scared I was going to have another gallbladder attack away from home.  I felt fine and was a happy camper that I ate real food and it even gave my body more energy.  I took a dare when we were heading out on a Black Cherry Slurpee and some skittles, but I did and I was still okay.

That's all I ate that day and I didn't work out cause I was exhausted from waking up so early and my body was still so sore and tired from the night before.
