FOOD & WEIGHT Oh yeah and My life a little.....

IT'S SATURDAY NEW YEARS EVE!!!!!

Well all I don't think I am gonna make my 205. But I am ok with that. God is so awesome. He always sends someone to you when you just can't figure out how to get yourself up and back on track.

EXPLANATION:
I am up and down all night to the bathroom because of so much blessed water I am drinking all day. LOL so I get up last night around 3:25 AM and when I just get laid back down, Someone comes online and buzzes me. :( I was a little annoyed that someone would buzz me in the middle of the night. I answered the message and let him know I was sleeping. But I stayed and talked to him for a little bit. He ended up having just the right scriptures and the right words to touch me in a way that I get myself back on track with Life. He said HE was woke up early and didn't know who the Word was for until he got online and started talking to me.. THANK U LORD!!!! SOOOOOOOOO NOW THAT I AM BACK. I am so ready for the next challenge.

Now for today's Food and Weight Check In:

211.0 Lbs for today 12/31/05

Breakfast: NS Scrambled w/ Peppers, Cheese Stick, Redicup Applesauce

Lunch: NS Cream of Broccoli, Salad w/ FF Thousand, Light Harvest Peach Yogurt

I Know I am posting some of these foods before I eat, But I have everything set out already. And I Know I can STICK with what I Put down here. (OK UPDATE: I decided to switch Lunch & Dinner. Still same food though.)

Thanks to all of you that are keeping me accountable.

I Love U ALL and I am SO HONORED to call EACH of YOU MY FRIENDS.

I AM OK You All!!! (I think)

Well I am not really sure what I am today. So badly I want to give up on dieting, life, relationships the whole nine yards.

Bad emotion day for me today. I was touched so much by what Bob said the other day. I was so touched that I was not the only one feeling like that, and also scared that He may really quit. It just got me to thinking.

I mean I sit here today really messed up emotionally. I am tired of being alone. I am tired of dieting, but also tired of being fat. I am tired of life in general I think. The alternative to all of this is......... Well #1 digging a hole and crawling in for about ............hmmmmmmmmmmm ............The rest of my life.( NOT AN OPTION!!). #2 Quitting everything, including life.................(Not an option either). Or #3 Just trying to deal with the day and maybe crying myself into a stupor. (The only one that is actually doable).

I know I get lonely like this sometimes, but I don't remember being this bad in a LONG time. Even after I got scammed and found out Shaun was Fake. I do get down in the dumps sometimes also and just want to change or give up. But that doesn't happen either, I just get over it. And Tired of being fat is what caused me to start NS on the first place.
The part I am having so many troubles with lately is that all of these emotions don't usually hit me all at once. They like the aches and pains I have daily, usually take turns and only hit one at a time. Lately I have been SPECIAL. ALL AT ONCE!! And it is driving me BONKERS!!!!!!!!

Well I will just have to figure out how to deal with it in an OK way. Get into my WORD (Bible) today, Get before God and rest in Him for a while, or Have a good CRY and then Get before God for comforting and rejuvenation. Any or all of the above are good options.

I think I messed up on my dieting so much with weight fluxuation that I didn't think I could make it to my 205 goal for the end of the year. Or even come close to it. I am at 211.8 today and just 6.8 lbs to go to make that 205. Just 1.2 lbs a day for the next 4 days. And LOTS of H2O. So any and ALL of u can keep me in check and accountable for this loss. The closer I get to my mini goals the more I end up sabotaging myself.

So no more cheating on my NS diet, No more thinking about relationships, and no more Mulling over how messed up life is. JUST KICK MYSELF IN THE BUTT AND KEEP GOING!!!!!

Ok so as of today I am at 211.8 Lbs ( I said that already.......LOL) SO I just have 6.8 lbs to go. So THIS TIME FOR REAL!!, I am gonna log everything that passes these LIPS and goes in the mouth. Will update later on the array of ONLY NS diet stuff I eat. LOL..............Even though I REALLY want some of those chips on top of the Fridge. OK I know STEP AWAY FROM THE FRIDGE!!!! Luckily I am still blogging here...........LOL

Well Off to figure out what is for lunch.

Thanks Sue for being concerned and asking for this blog today or I may not have done it.

Well I have babbled on enough and I feel MUCH better.

God Bless U ALL

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

IT'SSSSSSSSS MONDAYYYYYYYYYY

And a fairly good Monday too. It is always a good day when I wake up lighter than I was last week. It is only 8:25 AM and my final weigh in is around 10:30 (the time I started weighing when I first started this diet, so I stick with it) but first step is 212.8. Which means all the bad choices I made over the weekend and especially yesterday, didn't hurt me too bad.

On Saturday I went to Fellowship Gumbo party for another churches singles ministry. It was cool. I don't do parties really, but the minister of your Ministry asked me and a couple of other people to go with him and represent our ministry so I said yes. When we arrived I asked him if he knew the ones hosting the party. He said NO. My stomach almost flipped out of my body. So scenario: I was going to a party, (I don't do parties), and The Minister I went with didn't know anyone there. LOL I told him if he felt like someone was attached to him, They were. LOL So I did what I do best in parties. I found a chair and sat and talked to the other lady that came with us. (I thought I was bad. I looked over at her a couple of times and finally had to tell her to breathe. LOL It looked like she was just sitting there holding her breath.

Once I got inside and was there for a few minutes I realized it was ok. Atmosphere was nice. They had jazz music going and was peaceful.

I finally had to get out of my chair cause the slightest bit of stress my system feels lately (with everything else happening) I get wheezy and will end up in a full blown asthma attack if I don't catch it early. So I had to venture to find my jacket, and then find an out of the way place to hit the dumb thing. LOL restroom was the best place away from people, of course I had to open my mouth and ask where that was. Which kind of helped me get more relaxed. LOL the inhaler helped to. It makes me hyper and full of energy when I hit it correctly.

Well the Gumbo was done and the first bowl I saw come out had a big piece of Crab on it. (now the function cost $10 to come to, to help with the price of the Gumbo I guess) Yep and Guess What??? LOL I cant have crab. LOL There wouldn't be enough inhalers in the world to stop the asthma attack that comes on. So I asked if there was one with out crab, and they had made a small pot of one with no seafood, just meat. So I went that way. A bowl of rice and meat gumbo and of course cracklin cornbread and punch. Not very diet wise, but I almost knew that when I said yes to coming. I wasn't very good with my water either. I think I got 1 quart in all day, I THINK. I was good for dinner. I had a light yogurt and a small head of fried cabbage. (fried in olive oil, my fat for the day) and a sugar free jello for later. Ok something I ate that day was free of calories or little cals. LOL

Sunday consisted of Church. Another hard day for diets. I woke up late and forgot to bring my breakfast so I am at the store thinking, What can I eat and still basically stay on track. So I chose 2 light yogurts for the protein and a banana for my fruit. Not bad I don't think. I have found that Harvest Peach light yogurt is the kick. Now lets see how long it takes to see if I am allergic to yogurt still. Will find out soon I guess. I cant have milk and not much ice cream cause I get bronchial pneumonia if i eat or drink it. I do push my luck on ice cream but I know my limit and when I can have it. I don't even think about ice cream of I am not feeling well or have been sick. My immune system is down too low and I don't even chance it. Now I wonder if I should treat yogurt the same.

OK I know I got off track. (Now you know why I don't write much. I am choppy and go all over the place.)

So back to Sunday. I had a wedding to do Sound for, and of course there was a reception afterwards. So I go and food was there of course. (I was good this time and took my water in with me.) So they had salami and cream cheese wrapped in tortillas and a veggie bowl and onion dip and cut up bbq hot dogs. Oh yeah and fake crab. So I had a little of each and a lot of veggies. Then there was the cake. LOL MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! LOL It was a vanilla, chocolate swirl topped with caramel and cool whip. Boy!!! Was it good. :) so i drank 2 quarts of water before I even left there. Ok so anything after this water was all extra. When I got back to my nieces place I felt like I was hungry (kind of), not that I could have been after all that eating. So I had 2 ladles of homemade stew and a big salad. Later I had a jello for a snack and around midnight I had my NS desert. (for the first time in forever).

Well that was the extent of my weekend. All in all I had a good time. I did 2 things I don't like to do. One was the Singles Fellowship where I didn't know anyone except those I went with, and second was going to a place by myself. (oh yeah, I don't like to go out to parties or any place like that by myself, don't know why) It is really time to get myself out of the shell I have been living in and get myself out there a little. OK something I am working on little by little.

Well I have caught everyone up on my weekend and it wasn't that hard this time. LOL Didn't take me half as long as it usually does. So the final weigh in is in like an hour away, so I will update here what the outcome was. And also on Pam's Blog.

Thanks in advance to all that come and visit. Have a good one and God Bless.

OK weight update: LOL Final weigh in is 212.4. Not bad down almost 2 1/2 lbs from last week. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

Thursday, December 15, 2005

Its Thursday finally...............

This week has seemed to take forever. It feels like it should be Next Wednesday already.

Well the scale Gods are looking fondly down on me lately. LOL

The scales are slowly going down. Really helps that I am eating More like I should be.

On Monday I weighed 215
Tuesday I was at 214
Wednesday I was at 213.2 (do we see a pattern here??.........LOL)
Thursday (today) I am at 212.

I am back on the eating track and the water track also. I went to work out on Tuesday and still am sore from the workout. I need to try to squeeze in another workout this Saturday. That way I am not so sore again on Tuesday when I was supposed to go back.

Well I am doing pretty good with eating today. I had lunch with my dad at CoCo's. I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad (no croutons), Italian Dressing (on the side) and a bowl of Cream of Broccoli Soup. Oh yeah 3 packets of crackers. Almost forgot those......LOL I am up 2 almost 3 glasses of water and only a quart & a half to go.

Dinner will be a little late tonight so I need to plan snack somewhere in between. I also need to start remembering Dessert. I don't think I have remembered that in about 2 weeks now. I know BAD ME..........LOL

An update on everything. LOL the guy the never showed up says he is coming to fix everything before Christmas. LOL (U notice I am not holding my breath on this one). I told him if he wanted to prove he was for real he needed to come here in person and figure out what went wrong. Well Like I said I am not holding my breath waiting for him to come. I also told him NOTHING could be like it was. He could only hope for friendship possibly.

Home life is pretty good. I need to figure out how to find another job that I can work from home with. Any suggestions anyone??

Well now that I have basically caught everyone up. I will close this.

Have a good one and Danielle if you need to u can email me for any questions u have. I know u have some or at least one.......LOL

God Bless Everyone

Another day, another weigh in day..............................

Oh............... I forgot to do that today............LOL

I didn't even remember til I was reading Bob's Blog and he mentioned he lost 3 lbs this week. I almost hit myself. I am so dense today.

Well the low down on my life lately.

I have been doing pretty good on the weight loss thing. I mean holding my own I guess. I keep bouncing back and forth between 2 lbs. I mean I cheat and they come back and then I am good and they go away. LOL the yo yo effect. LOL

Well, I went to the movies on Saturday and saw The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It was AWESOME. I need to go back again to see the parts I missed. The hazards of going to the movies with a 3 yr old. LOL
For my meal planing that day I didn't fair well, I had a double quarter pounder before we went and there I had a bag of M&M's and shared a popcorn with my niece. I had my NS breakfast and a LARGE Salad with Grilled Steak for dinner. No soda at the movies. OOPS..... That would be a couple of sips from my Gr. Nieces.

On Sunday I went out to eat with my oldest daughter and her boyfriend. IHOP is my weakness. A Big Steak omelet was the lesser of a few evils. Yes I stayed away from the gravy. Good for me. Bad me though, I ate most of the omelet and about a pancake and a half. I had baked orange chicken and white rice last night for dinner. My mistake was I had no veggies or salad all day yesterday. And I don't think the veggies in the omelet counted. LOL

So today I am back on track basically. I had white rice and yogurt and cantaloupe for breakfast. A 1/2 can of chicken noodle soup a salad and string cheese for lunch and not sure what dinner is yet. I am hoping for Cabbage, Spinach reviles and a LARGE Salad again. I have got to remember snack and dessert everyday. Half the time I forget. Maybe that is my weight yo yo effect problem. LOL and my munching and cheating............LOL

Well my stress level is on the high side with all the mess going on over here with the online guy. Which has kicked my asthma in A LOT lately. But I am working on that situation.

Well I guess I have blabbed enough and I will go ahead and post this blogg. I am still trying to figure out how to post a link to my daughter's (adopted) birthday party, and the cake fight. It is in powerpoint presentation. If any one knows please let me know.

GOD BLESS and Have A Good One.

Interesting day today.............

I sit here and try to compile all of everything that is going on in my life right now. And not really sure what to tell and what not to. So here is some of the skinny. (I know I am a day late. But I did try this yesterday and it all got jumbled up inside me.) So here goes.........


The guy that was supposed to come has not and I am not even sure he is coming. Right now the way I feel that is fine.

A word of warning and I know people tell us this all the time, but until you have experienced it you always say, "It won't happen to me." Well, don't trust anyone with money except in cash in front of you. NO ONE!!! Especially those over the internet. That is all I am gonna say on that one. And I will leave it alone.

My weight loss is doing pretty good. I was down to 211 yesterday. The scale gave me 210.6 once but I never saw it again, so I took the 211. That is cool with me. I just need to get better at my water, ALL of my food and exercising a little at least. I may start charting my exercise here and what I am eating. AND my water intake.....LOL If I have to put it here maybe I will do it. And it wont go down here if I haven't done it. Starting today I will do that. At least there will be something here daily. LOL

I never would have thought I would be writing in a blog as an adult. LOL I used to hate writing. But as I get older, it really helps to journal. I mean I do to an extent with Me and God, but it isn't consistent. Kind of like this one. But maybe if I can be consistent with this one I can get in the right place with that one too.

SO today I am starting to go to my trainer in the evening. And am gonna try to start my own workout stuff at home. I need help with my abs from him, but I can work my legs & most of my arms myself .

So off I go. I hope this catches some of you up. It will also help me to stay focused for this challenge. Oh yeah. I have also adjusted my weight goal by New Years. I am shooting for 205. That should be fairly easy now since I am almost there already, but anything under that is all gravy........LOL good choice of words huh?? At least I didn't say Mashed Potatoes & Gravy............LOL LOL

I want to learn a few of the tricks of the link world in this thing. If anyone is willing to help out I would much appreciate it. And how do you all get those charts on here. I just don't get that one either.

Well this is WAY longer than I thought it was gonna be and I thank you all for stopping by and checking this out. Please comment or sign my guest book if you stop by. I know I am inconsistent but that is gonna change today. I will update later on the food, water and exercise.

God Bless Everyone and Have a good one.
