5-28-09!! 175 Pounds!!!

I'm back down to 175, I figured I would be as I haven't had time to go to the store and buy snacks. I'm a snacker, so that's my problem. Buying snacks all the time, I work a lot, so that is my biggest hurdle. That and soda. I've been doing very good on the Fast Food, only had it about once or twice this month. Normally, I would have it once or twice a week. I'm doing good. Still a long way to go, but I'm getting there.

180 Pounds!! 5-20-2009

I am back up to 180 pounds. I am only at that because I am retaining a hell of a lot of water right now. So in a few days, I will be back to 175.

I have to kick things into high gear now. I've officially submitted my entry into one event and may do it for another one sometime later this summer.

We will have to see how things go.

Meal Plan Update!!

The meal plans will come sometime tommorrow. Not sure as to the time, but tommorrow. Figure I'd do a weekly plan.

Weight loss is coming okay. Haven't stepped on the scale since last weight in. Figured it would be defeating the purpose if I got on it everyday.

Still no working out allowed, but dancing is. Just light dancing for now. May have to wear some sort of brace when I do dance though. Will update you on that.

175 Pounds and Counting!!! 5-3-09

I forgot to post my weight in the post yesterday. I'm going to start putting the weight in the title line along with the date.

Yesterday was good. Had a nice and filling meal for the game. Going out to dinner tonight with someone special. Should have lots of fun.

Still working on the tips and meal plans. Should have those up later this week.

Doing Very Good!! 5-2-2009

I need to have a chart to see how my weight loss is going and when I weigh myself. Since the last time I weighed myself I have dropped 2 more pounds. Maybe I need to keep up with what I am doing.

Yesterday was my "Cheat Day" and even though it was, besides a few pieces of candy, I did not eat that bad. I ate a sensible dinner and only had one serving of it. I was asked if I wanted a second serving and I said no. I also walked into the kitchen and saw that there was more than enough left and I didn't do my normal "Grab A Spoon and Get A Little Bit" thing that I am known to do. Proud of myself.

Lets see how long I can keep this up.

Just Say No!!!

Okay,

I have to admit. That when I started on this whole weight loss thing. I was sort of cheating. I was taking Hydroxycut. I started it about a year ago. It worked really well, or maybe it was that I was following their suggestions and not snacking and drinking more water (some 12 plus glasses a day)??? But I thought I was losing the weight because of Hydroxycut, but I guess not.

Over the past week, I have not taken Hydroxycut. I still have this same bottle and said I would only take it if the no soda/no snacking thing wasn't working. But it worked and worked well. Not one single Hydroxycut pill in the past week. And I loss a considerable amount of weight. But that was from me eating sensibly, not snacking and not drinking soda like it was water. And WHAMMO news just broke that Hydroxycut has been pulled off the market and contains basically the same stuff as "Speed". WTF????

If you have never taken this stuff before (and don't start now, as it doesn't work). This stuff has you feeling amazing. For example, they say for the first 3 days, only take 1 pill three times a day and drink at least 10 servings of water per day. Then you can bump up to the 2 pills three times a day. That first day is a mutherF***a!!! Within a few hours after taking this stuff, you will feel very dizzy, light-headed and nauseated. You spend most of your time in bed because you feel if you get up.....you will pass out. This may happen on the 2nd day as well, but after that. You are fine. YOu actually think you are losing weight, but you are not...okay...if you are following their diet tips and stuff..you may be losing weight. But it isn't because of the Hydroxycut. You may feel sick to your stomach every now and then, but you are so geeked that you are losing weight...you say to yourself "It's worth it!". But it isn't!!

Is it worth Liver Failure??? It is worth dieing??? No, it isn't. As that is what is happening to people. I just thank god up above that I stopped taking that stuff and when i was, i wasn't taking it on a regular basis. I'd take one pill and skip a few days out of forgetfullness. If I had been popping that stuff like I was supposed to...who knows what would have happened to me.

I am going to lose weight the old fashion way. By hard work, exercise and a good diet.

Temptation Is In The House!!!

I got two giant bags of candy today. I mean these bags are huge. The kind you get on Halloween to pass out to the kids. I am seeing if I can resist going into them whenever I am in the kitchen.

Fixing a early lunch right now. 2 crab cakes and some pasta salad. Should be good. I did good by not getting a huge box of Chips Ahoy cookies. Don't want to resist to that temptation. Didn't weigh myself today, so will do it in the morning. I think I said that Friday's were the day that I would weigh myself.

Take Care & Be Blessed
