Per my last post, if you didn't read it. I did backdate it, to stay on track. Today's weigh-in is on schedule, although I am pushing it by posting this on Thursday, as my weigh-in will be on Sunday, but better than being even further behind. Today we had a sweet Italian sausage as part of dinner, that baby is a whopping 290 calories, but it did taste good, and we needed to eat it. Who likes food to go to waste? I don't. And no that is not the reason I am overweight. I didn't watch what I ate, and it just got out of hand. All that doesn't even matter at this point. The point is, I am doing something about it. I lost 1.5 lbs, still a good number to lose considering my calorie intake. I hope the Italian sausage doesn't mess me up on Sunday lol. There will be days, and there have been days. It is not always going to be perfect, but all I Continue Reading
Failures, Realizations, & Try Again!
I am back again and giving this another whirl. So let me give you a little update since my last post. I realize it has been quite a few months. After my last post, I went into my 2nd 30-day set of juicing. From my last post you can tell it had been rough, even my fiance noticed I was depressed. So he suggested I have 1 meal a day, and I agreed. So, my 2nd 30 days began, and I looked forward to the meal. At this point, I was doing fine, until the 2nd week came around. I then, couldn't help, but snack on something here and there. By the end of the 2nd set of 30 days, I was at more than just one meal/ I didn't lose as much. What I did realize though, is that I didn't lose more than I thought I would in the first month, much less the 2nd month. Basically, what I am saying, I went through all that suffering, to have results that didn't Continue Reading
Day 38! Success in 30 Days!
I am so happy to report that after 30 days (even though today is day 38 lol). That I lost 28 lbs juicing! I am so so happy, but oh so very hard. Omgosh. I got to the point of feeling depressed, and I didn't like that feeling. I read that would pass, but it didn't so when my next 30 days started, we agreed with my fiance that I would do one meal in the evening with him. So with Valentine's Day approaching, I wanted to spend that time not worrying too much about what I ate. So we had a nice weekend, we had Subway, and then on Valentine's Day, he made an amazing dinner. So, because of that, this week, I am only juicing, to make up for the weekend, and the 2 lbs I gained :( BUT hey I am just glad I am able to juice and get back on track. But I did lose those 28 lbs so that is something. I have taken pictures of what I have been juicing, Continue Reading
Happy Valentine’s Day and OH MY GOSH!!!
Has it really been that long? Wow I have kept myself so busy, that I don't post in my blog. OK well with new year, new changes, and that includes this blog. I will have to take time out to blog on it, what is the point of having it, if I don't do that. Things change in my life, and I need, no I want to post about it. If only for my own reading pleasure when I am a little old lady and I want to reminisce, oh wait I am old, but not a little old lady yet hehe. So Happy Valentine's Day! So I am doing good on my weight-loss journey, I have to admit, the juicing I have been doing is very hard. I have been tempted many times, and probably always will be. I try to make it up, by juicing a full week, then going to one meal a day and juicing. I had juiced only for a month, 30 days. Now I am on my 2nd set, and have slipped, but determined to do Continue Reading
Day 18 – #60DayJuiceChallenge
So I am well into the whole juicing adventure, I finished my 5-day juicing challenge which is what I initially signed up for. But wanted to take it further as I mentioned in my last post. I am as the title suggests on Day 18 and let me tell you, at this point in my adventure, it is not at all easy. I crave food, but really who wouldn't? I cook for William (my honey), I had a little taste of some mashed potatoes, and a string, literally a string of chicken. I won't say that is cheating, but I think I needed it, not trying to make excuses. This is really hard, especially since I am trying to finish my 60 days without quitting, as I am not a quitter. As of today, well not today, last time I weighed myself I was at 223.6 I believe, which if you follow me is a huge difference, but I am still a ways away from the ideal goal weight I would Continue Reading
