Hello there strangers. It’s been a while because I gave up. But then I weighed in and was pleasantly astonished at the result. Since the last time I was on, I have not dieted or gotten any sort of aerobics in. I am waaay down. Which is soooo not what I expected at all. Thus this post was formed.

I can’t say that I have been completely in-active. I have enrolled in night classes to be a CNA and have been hanging out with friends a lot more than usual. Normally I am a straight hermit. I have been popping b12 and b-complex as well as a multi vitamin alot because it literally makes me happy.

 Humm other than that, I’ve got nothing. Watch me gain weight again for noticing hahha. Such is life….. I mean I know it isn’t a big loss in a total of two months time.. but if you take into consideration the Holidays, and the lack of doing anything well… haha. I will take the loss anyday. lol.

I hope you are all doing well. I’m sorry to have disappeared. I will probably be on a lot more often. *hugs*

Hey guys, I know I haven’t been on in a while. It’s because I have been stagnant. I started a new diet and didn’t stick to it. I was ashamed but ehhhh.. What can you do? I am so addicted to food. :/ Eating is like the only “fun” thing I do. I think I am going to write Oprah! She’d know what to do.

Soo.. even though I didn’t stick to my diet- I lost weight. I attribute that to our Wii. I have been Wii boxing lately. If any of you have done that, playing Wii sports.. omg. It’s a work out.. buuuuttt.. You don’t feel the boredom of working out because you’re playing a game. I dunno. So yeah. I attribute my weight loss to the Wii. This is the lowest in weight that I have been in a long time. I really weigh 293.8. Not just 293. They should add decimals to the weight loss ticker.

 Anywhooo-

I hope you all are doing well, good luck.. ^_^

With Spark People!

 Either way I have been just as ghostly. I guess because I have been eating and eating and totally gave up on my diet. I am starting an experiment today. For one entire week I am going to consume slim fast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have 100 calorie snack packs for in between. I want to know how much weight I can lose. I will also be taking vitamins. I just want to know if It is possible for me to lose weight. I know it isn’t the healthiest measure, I mean, I don’t even know if I can do it. Buuuuut I have convinced myself that there is something wrong with me rather than trying so this is my last ditch effort for one week to see if it is possible. I plan on walking every night and drinking only water.

It’s been two weeks, it’s a slow start but I am still happy with it. I am three pounds down. I have been cheating left and right. I had a Birthday party last night so.. I had SNICKERS cake. OMG. I guess the main point is that I am not consuming nearly as many caleries I was before even with the junk food I have cheated with. I have completely eliminated beef from our diet and we eat rice on a regular basis. So far I have had little to no activity as far as working out. I wish I could get up the motivation to work out. I just feel so stupid. I can’t afford a gym and well… sweatin’ it out at home makes me feel silly. lol.

I have been cheating. Last night my family ate McDonalds. Not even conservative McDonalds. Then on Valentines day I devoured 6 pieces of candy that were 200 calories each. Not good. I am happy to report that I am down .8 pounds though. I am officially at 194. Even though I cheated, the rest of the week my caloric intake was at or around 1000, to 1200.

There is linoleum in my laundry room. It’s the only place in the house where there isn’t at least some sort of tiling. Danny suggested that perhaps that is the reason why my scale is so fruity. A couple of my readers did as well. So I placed the scales four different places on the linoleum and I am at 294.8 officially. My weight came out the same no matter where I placed it. I wish the buddyslim weight update allowed you the .8. There really is a difference when .8 of a pound is closer to 295 than 294. Oh well. Sooooo. I have my starting point, and like Missy Lee suggested I am going to try and weigh in every day.

Last night I made a super healthy soup for dinner. I chopped up fresh veggies, threw in a cup of low sodium broth, 2 cups of rice and two chicken breasts. It was absolutely tasty. I even have over half the pot for left overs as the rice absorbed a lot of the water/broth and made this insane amount of food. Truth be told I had two bowls. I don’t feel guilty though.

 I reset my weight ticker. I obviously fluxuated but I wanted a genuine starting point so I know where I have come from this date with an “accurate” weight. No excuses from here on out. *Crosses fingers*

I just got back from grocery shopping. I fear I am going to unleash a great fury upon  you. MUAHAHAH. I did so well. I bought tons of veggies, a few fruits, and lots of boneless skinless chicken. I also got healthy snacks such as raisons. I purchased my first ever lot of diet pepsi- black cherry and vanilla flavored. I actually like it. I purchased Splenda to replace my tea and drink sugars. Those are actually where a lot of my calories come from. *sigh* So I purchased a month’s worth of good, healthy food. I have nothing in my cabinets that can stray me. Well, actually I did get 3 verys small things of chocolates for valentines day only (to be given to others, not to me). Buuuuuut for the most part I am stray free. I can’t remember where I heard it.. but I was told that it takes 21 days to break a habbit. 21 days of doing something you don’t normally do to make you fall into a new habbit. I am not sure how true it is but I am hoping that it is. Omg. I knew that beef was fatty- I checked out the calorie content tonight. The beef I normally buy for my family is 340 calories a serving, not to mention we usually eat twice the serving size!! I could not believe it. I thought about buying just a little bit of beef. I saw that and put it right back!

I am hoping that changing our eating habbits will have a great impact on the family. Danny also bought me some resistance cables. I am hoping that I will get into a habbit of exercising. Even if it is just a little. It seems like everything hurts me these days. I have hopes that the longer I do it, the easier it will get.

I have an almost brand new scale and it is completely inaccurate. I am going with the highest numbers so that I do not disappoint myself. The thing is, I do not have a receipt to return it. Today it said I was 298.2, and that I was 293. It went back and fourth between numbers. I dunno. Blah.

I have completely stuck to my diet. No joke. That says a lot. . .normally I cheat like mad.

Well, not so well actually. I am fluxiating a lot. I am going up three and down two. Up one and down three. It’s rediculous. I also haven’t been sticking to my “plan of attack”. Haha. My best friend and I are trying to challenge eachother. We are both rubenesque and are trying to use our competitiveness to motivate each other. Haha. As it turns out I think we aren’t as competitive as we were when we were teenagers. I was expecting it to be an all out balls to the wall war. But not so much haha. Which I think ultimately is a good thing but not for losing weight.

I am proud to report that I stocked my cabinets with only healthy things to eat this week. We have no money so we literally have no choice but to eat healthy. Seems like that is what this has had to come down to. After checking out the calorie content of the things we purchased it seems that I will have the calorie intake of 25% of what I normally do. We plan on walking every night but.. baby steps. I don’t want to set myself up to fail.

Ahhh wish me luck!!
