Cravings....

I am craving french fries something awful!! Five Guys Burgers & Fries french fries to be exact. Sigh.....

L invited me to a b-day party Friday night for her DH. I suppose me and the munchkin will go. I am kind of nervous because I really don't want to eat in front of anybody. It's ok when it's just me and her -because, she is my best friend- but, in front of a bunch of people I don't know that well. I am feeling all nervous about it.... I haven't felt this way in a long time.

I hope little man goes to bed early tonight because I am tired.

RESTARTING PHASE 1!!

I fell off the wagon this weekend-BUT I lost 5 pounds. I am restarting Phase 1 TODAY. I picked back up with my journaling and I joined TBL challenge on 3 fat chicks.

GO RED TEAM!!

2nd Day on South Beach-Phase 1

My second day on SB. I did good too. Tonight I am having a cheeseburger salad. I am making J hamburger steak and I am just going to brown some ground beef for me and season it a bit.

First day on SB-Phase 1

Well, I have not had a bad day. I have stayed on the plan except now, I am hungry. I will have a salad when J gets home. I am feeling better about myself. J and I both have done really good today!

1 day almost down-13 to go!

Ready to start PHASE 1!

I am sooo ready to start Phase 1. I went to walmart and got groceries this afternoon. Tonight I am making a Sausage and cheese vegetable cups for breakfast for myself to eat on this week:

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast cups

These are REALLY good!

4 oz turkey sauage or crumbled turkey bacon
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
5 large eggs
1 12oz can sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup l/f shredded chedder cheese

preheat oven to 350. Line a muffin pan with baking cups. Cook the sausage, pepper, and onion for 5 min or until sausage is no longer pink. Spoon mixture into a bowl and let cool slightly. Stir in eggs and mushrooms. Divide evenly into muffin cups. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20 min or until egg is set.



You can also spray the muffin tin and not use the baking papers....but they are better with the papers!
I make them at night about twice a week, they are great to pop in the microwave in the morning!

I am using real sausage though as turkey hurts my stomach and no mushrooms because I don't have any. I hope this is good.

Plus Sizes

I am so sick of wearing plus sizes and things being ten miles too long. I really am tired of looking sloppy.
I am committing myself to be out of the plus sizes by this winter. I will have my pants and tops tailored. I want to have a clean, simple look. I want to look elegant. I'm just tired of it. I feel like I wear out dated, worn out looking, fifty miles too long clothes.
I am making myself a wish list for when I lose weight of clothes and makeup.

Plus size clothes look so old ladyish. J even agreed with me when we went to JCPenney's to look for clothes. I have resorted to almost wearing jeans with elastic in them but even the pair of them that I ordered didn't fit. I can't be this way for the rest of my life. I won't.

SOUTH BEACH!!!

I am so psyched for South Beach!! Me and j are going to do it together and we start this Monday!!

I am also looking forward to August because L and I are taking a girls weekend!! I can't wait!! I want to have lost at least 20 or 30 pounds by then so that I can buy some new clothes!!!

I can't wait!!!!

2nd day journal keeping

Wow! When you right down everything that goes into your mouth, it really makes you think about what you are eating. This is the first step that the nutrtionist wants me to take.

I am doing really good @ journaling and I can already see where part of my problem is: I eat too many carbs and I don't get enough exercise. I need to really walk everyday. I am going to make my mind up and do it. I want to get into my "skinny jeans" except I don't really have any. LOL

I really want to do this. I want to feel better. I want to be there for B. I want to see him grow up and be a great mom.

4/8/08-Appt w nutritionist

Well, today was my appt w the nutritionist and I am so glad that I had it! She really encouraged me and motivated me. We made a list of what I thought a healthy should be and it really helped.

Goals for the week:
-Keep food journal
(email her w info next wk)
-Drink water
-Check Blood Sugars

I am so glad that she helped me. I feel like I can really begin to be back on track!!
Gotta go write in my journal now.

APRIL 7, 2008-MONDAY PLANS

Well, I am tired of stopping and starting about a million times. I can't do it anymore. So, MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2008 is my day to BEGIN. Begin the new me...for real.

The reason I say for real is because I don't think I have ever felt this bad about myself as I have the last 3 days. I feel fat and sore and like a blob and I am tired of it.

THE NEW ME STARTS TODAY WITH MY ATTITUDE.

I am making my exercise plan and I have gotten myself a cute little notebook to be my fitness journal.

I am going back to meetings tomorrow at 1:00. BUT, this time I am taking slow and easy at it. I am not going to look for a quick fix and I am going to do it. I am going to restart my 30 day challenge also.
