Working Hard Today!

Today going good. Kept the diet in check...consumed about 1450 calories with my mufas included. Hit the treadmill for 43 minutes (used hand weights most the time), did my biggest loser wii challenge (I won!) and did some weight training with stretching. Hoping tomorrow will be even better! Check ya later! =D

Still Here!!!

I'm still here and I'm not giving up the battle of the bulge! Finally got the kitchen complete...still tying up a few loose ends, it sure does look nice! I'm going to jump on the treadmill right now for some pick-me-up energy and then more will come later! BYE!

Still Picking Up Steam!!

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo! I think I can, I think I can...no I KNOW I can, I KNOW I can! Been doing decent this week....although tonight was a bust! I'm still working on my goals for this week. I've been doing more cardio, drinking more water and doing better on my meals except for the a fore mentioned! lol Still have a lot of room for improvement, but if my sore body is any indication then I'm headed in the right direction!

Breakfast: Banana Split Oatmeal (yes, this is one of my diet recipes! =0) about 365 calories
Coffee (with a small amount of milk) 20 calories
Lunch: scrambled eggs with sauteed onions, diced tomato and salsa 330 calories
Dinner: Cheddar's (yes, you heard me right! I became weak, but at least I ordered my dinner with grilled instead of the fried chicken that came with it! =D)

"Tomorrow Is Always Fresh With No Mistakes In It!"

Full Speed Ahead!!! Choo! Choo!

Well after a hard week last week, I'm getting ready to recharge and hit it hard! Last week was full of unusual items....patching holes in walls, priming the kitchen and preparing for a gathering at my house. This week I still need to paint but am hoping to schedule my time for better results! I love the foods I can eat on my diet, but I've got to be more diligent about eating every four hours and getting in more cardio. A few goals for the week:

1. 45 - 60 minutes of exercise (including cardio and strength training)
2. More diligence in eating my mufa meals
3. Drink more water!!!
4. No snacking after my final calories have been taking in

WooHoo!

Perhaps there's something to this diet after all! The other day I put on a skirt and realized that it was fitting better in the waist. So the next morning I jump on the scale to see that I'm down a total of 4 pounds! Yahoo!! When I measured my waist I was also down by a couple of inches. Certainly no room to complain here. Hope to be sharing even more good news with ya next time! SEE YA!

Still Chugging Along....

Well, I'm back. Been a bumpy few days, but I'm getting there. Saturday and Sunday were a washout for doing the jump start, however I did at least try to eat decent. Yesterday went really well, except my stomach was aching all evening and has been bothering me off and on today. What's up with that? Now I just need to get myself exercising....I've been so out of my routine. I will say I haven't had a real coke in numerous days and not even a diet in a couple of days....I guess that's a plus! Scale said I was down a little so I'm happy about that and hoping to see more tomorrow. Plus if I can get my butt in gear and exercise then I'll be doing great. I'm going to go now...not feeling witty and just rambling. See ya!

Day 1!!!

Ok- I didn't get started yesterday like I planned...woke up late and not feeling too good. On the upside, I did try eat healthy and was feeling much better by the afternoon. One other speed bump for me was that I did not have all the items needed to complete the 4-day anti-bloat jump start. So last night I hit my local Kroger and gathered what I needed.

Here's what I ate today:


1 c cornflakes w/1 cup skim milk
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
1/4 c sunflower seeds
glass of sassy water (Yup that's right!)

skim milk/blueberry smoothie w/flaxseed oil
glass of sassy water

6oz orange roughy
1 c green beans
1/2 c roasted red potatoes w/1stp olive oil
glass of sassy water

If you can believe....I'm not done with all my food yet. I can still have grape tomatoes and string cheese. Whoopee!


So far I'm feeling great! Although I got to pee a lot! I'm dreading tomorrow though since I will be having lunch at a gathering (the lunch was paid for in advance). I will eat well in the morning and then try not to over do it at lunch and then back on my plan for the evening.

I'm hoping to hit the treadmill in a few! See ya tomorrow....I'll let you know how I faired!
