Diet Humor

My friend Robin over at Mass Hole Mommy posted this on FB.  I've been on this very strict diet going on 3 weeks and this is so true.  I'm a little on edge ... lol just joking but I'm sure I'm not as perky as I was when I was stuffing cheesecake in my face.

Happy Thursday!!

Friday Diet Humor

Yes it's that time again diet update and a little diet humor to make you laugh.  It's been a tough few weeks but I'm down 9.6lbs!  I'm very excited that it's going down, only 30.4lbs to be where I was when I lost all the weight last year.  I'm not upset with myself I'm just going to keep moving forward, praying for strength to keep me on this path and I hope to be there soon!  I'm doing the Omni drops which is super hard it's a VERY strict 500 calorie diet with their drops.  My friend is loosing like crazy like 20+ lbs in 3 weeks.  ME of course don't loose like that.  I am on my 2nd week and I'm down 5.4lbs which in my world rocks so I'm just going to be happy not sad I'm not loosing like others.

Now for diet humor!

Oh yes this has been me in the past:

It's Getting Close to D-Day ... Swimsuit Season

As we are all aware it's getting hotter so we must wear shorts or we may fry.  I'm still sticking to my thin cotton pants.  Until I can get myself to put a pair of shorts on.  I'm trying real hard to stick to a strict diet and using the Omni Diet Drops.  Wish me luck!  I'm reaching for my goal to be 30lbs down by Caden's party in July.  I'm down 5 lbs so far with my other diet and this new diet I just started.  I'll keep you posted on it!

But since it's Friday It's time for a Funny!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Happy Friday

Wow it's Friday!  I happy to say it will be a slow weekend for me, well that is after I finish the princess castle Cake ... LOL.  I really have no baking to do, but I'm sure I will find something to do .. lol.  Hopefully kick this stupid cold that has been hanging on to me!

Had to share the fun flower cookies I made for my friend for Mother's day.  I used my go to for Sugar Cookie recipe.  I then made 1/4 of the batch pink and 3/4 of the batch yellow (which came out more orange).  I used my cupcake middle cutter (takes the middle out of cupcakes so you can add jams etc) and cut the centers out of the cookies.  Used that same tool to make my centers.  I had a few circles left at the end and baked those too!  Of course served with a tub of my favorite Sturdy Buttercream Frosting.

On the diet side I've been sticking to it, it's been SLOW verse last time loosing.  It's frustrating but I'm sticking with it.  As of Sunday I was down 3.8 lbs.  I'm going to try the Omni drops starting tomorrow.  I have a friend who sells it and has lost 25 lbs in 3 weeks!  So I leave you with diet humor!

Have a Happy Weekend!

Confessions of an Overeater

Most of you who have been following me for sometime know that I have been on a long journey of making myself healthier.  Last year I was down 105 lbs.  In June I went back to a "healthy" eating lifestyle.  WELL in my mind I was doing well with a few little snacks here and there.  My old habits started to rear their ugly heads along with my mindset that if you don't see it or acknowledge it, it's not true!  YUP it's worked so well for me, hence the need to loose 100lbs before.  

So I started to feel the clothing pinch and I had to go up a size in my jeans and my tops.  I kept saying oh I only gained 20 lbs when I talked to other (in my head I would say ok maybe 30).  Then I started to say oh I gained 30lbs and really thought that was the truth!  YUP then this weekend after trying on a pair of pants in the size I went up to and they wouldn't budge over my thighs and I almost went in tears to the party.  I talked with a friend there about the Omni supplements she had already lost 5lbs in her first week.

WELL I so know my body and know no matter what I do it has to be eating right with exercise.  NEVER have I been one to loose with out changing these two factors.

So I've now added on 3 days of Inanity and 3 days of ripped at the YMCA.  And I've gone back to my ideal protein diet, which is a tough diet but I plan to stick to it for 8 weeks!  I did pick up a few Omni supplements for my friend, that I'll be adding in next week.

So I finally stepped on scale on Monday and was shocked to see the amount gained was 40lbs!!  YUP it was a shocker but it was needed for me to get my head out of the clouds and actually see the #. 

Wish me luck!  I want to be close to being down those 40lbs by my Bday in June.  So I share my ups and downs, it keeps me accountable plus hopefully help others that are going through this also.

Diet Humor "Birthday Party"

I didn't get a chance to finish up the next Teacher Easter Gift so I leave you with a little diet humor.  As many of you know I've struggled and probably always will struggle with my weight.  I saw this on facebook and laughed so hard because sadly it is so me!  

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

The Day I wanted to SCREAM ....

As most of you know I've been on a weight loss journey last year I lost 105 lbs.  Since then I have gone from a no carb and no sugar diet to a lower calorie diet I've gained weight.  It's been so tough, I even tried to go back to my previous diet with no luck.  I've been struggling and trying very hard to keep to it and not let it get me down.  

I had to share something that happened to me yesterday.  I'm a stress eater and I was very happy with myself yesterday how I handled a situation.

I went to the doc in a box yesterday to get my birth control shot.  It's been 3 months since I've been in so the weight gain has been there.  I weighed in and it was more then 8 lbs since I was last in.  I heard the nurse actually walk out of the room and told the girls at the front desk.  WHO then proceeded to talk about my weight gain.  YUP they were like oh my that is  a lot, and on and on!  They talked about it for about 5 minutes, it felt like a lifetime of my biggest enemy self doubt!

I was hurt I was mad, these ladies don't know me they don't know the journey I've been down.  They don't known that I lost a 100+ lbs and now fighting my way to get back on track.  It was a lesson to me out not judging you never know the other person's journey.

NOW usually I would go home and eat, but I immediately kept to my plan to go the gym.  Even though it was packed and I didn't want to stay I did.  I did my hour on the elliptical and then went home to a weight watcher meal.

I wanted to share with my friends who are on the same journey, don't let people bring you down with their ignorant comments or looks.  They don't know what we have been through.

NOT me but how I felt yesterday ... lol

Thank you Google Search for the Photo

 

Things that make you laugh ....

So I went to the doctor since I'm not loosing any weight and have gained some since I have reintroduced carbs and sugar.  Eating a normal but smaller portions, trying to stick to a Weight Watcher system.  I just have been feeling a little blah lately even with my working out, so I went to see the doctor and of course all my test comes back normal.  Ugh so I will just keep plugging forward.  Today I need a laugh it's been a rough week so I thought I would share a funny with you!!

Hope you all laugh and have a great day!

Exercise Funny

This week I've started to go to a Zumba / Strength training class.  I thought I work out all the time I so will rock this class.  LOL that was so a glimmer of hope when I first saw the instructor bouncing around like she was Tiger   I'm so excited and will keep going to this class and not only because it is FREE!  This amazing lady at the church from the boys school that they attended last year teaches this class free Tuesday and Thursday's.  MIND you she has been doing this for almost 6+ months and this has been the first time I attended.  

I woke up Wednesday and thought I may just die but it was a good feel and knew I had to go back on Thursday.  I've been stuck at 9lbs from goal for weeks now and have changed my diet and nothing so it was like a little whisper from God when Tuesday morning I woke up with this idea that I was going to go to this class that I heard about months back.  So we'll see if I can get over this hump soon!

And now for a funny!

We did a move last night for inner thighs

SO when I saw this I had to post:

Weight Loss Journey ... The 12 Month Check in

I posted this status update on FB the other day and I thought I would share it here too.  I'm a big believer in testimony and hoping that I can maybe inspire others like I was to go on this journey of bettering myself.  I'm still about 23lbs from my goal of honeymoon weight.  I'm taking it with strides and praying I hit my goal before my birthday.  I so would love to have to have a tiny piece of cake (even if only a sliver it would be nice).  So Far I'm 6 months of no cheating of no sugar and very low carb diet.  Would be nice to be done in the next 2 1/2 months :).

So here is my before and NOW picture!  ONLY nice comments please, it's like standing naked in front of you all.  And please don't mind the hair and no make up now picture.  LOL

FB status:

God gave me a whisper today to reflect on where I am. Last year I was in a 3x tired all the time. Then one day I went for a walk just one foot in front of another. It hasn't been easy I've had times of jealously over others success. But here I am 1 yr later in a Large and walking 3 miles in 45 min, with a work out before. Sometimes we need that reflection that we may not b at goal but look were we are now. 

Have a great weekend!

Diet Hummor

I'm so excited I was able to loose weight this week and now I'm down 91.7lbs, oh yes so it's happy dance time!  23lbs to go and I'll be at honeymoon weight.  Whoo hoo, so we wrap this week with some diet humor.  I love this because it is so my life I have battled with my weight and have worked very hard to be at this weight and will continue on this path.  

Hope you all have a good chuckle and have a great weekend.

Are you done dieting yet?

While being on this weight loss journey and having a strict diet makes going out fun ... OK not really but hey when it's done I'll be to my happy weight.  Happy to say that after 2 weeks of nothing I'm down 89.2 lbs now ... 1.6lbs not really the # I wanted but hey at least it went down.  Rick I know is looking for the day I don't go to a restaurant with having to give a list of how to cook my food and what items can't be on my plate ... lol.

Hope you all have a fab day!  

I'm feeling  bit under the weather just run down so I might take me a few days to get around to say hi.

Darn you Jean Makers .... Why can one size not be universal?

On my journey for weight loss I have gone threw the ups and downs of trying on different size pants to see what fits me know.   One of the most frustrating parts is at one time you'll fit in to a certain size then you try on another pair in the exact same size and it's like you have become a sausage trying to fit in it's own casing.   

This weekend I tried on a pair of paints I've been waiting to try on to find that they fell right off, GREAT news!!!  Then I try on another pair in the exact same size to find that as I may be able to button them I also now look like a woman trying to cling to her high school years and pants!  Oh yes muffin top didn't even begin to explain it, then I saw this ecard and thought yup that is right! 

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend I hope this made you laugh like it did for me!

The Needed Pick Me Up Picture ...

I started a new diet (just a stricter version of what I've been doing) to give me a jumpstart to loose weight.  I hit the dreaded plateau and couldn't get my body to do anything so I went and saw a local doctor here who has a plan called the Foxkin diet.  He's plan is if it moves you eat it, and no plants.  It's a high protein, low carb and low sugar diet.  Pretty much what I've been doing but no veggies now.  I'm so happy to say I lost 4 lbs this week!  I'm down a 87.6 lbs so far!  I have 26.2lbs to go for my goal, and who knows I may go the extra 10lbs from there, we'll see!  So here is my before and so far picture!  Don't mind the current hair, my hairdresser moved and I'm waiting for her to get the house in order to freshen up my color and my cut.

Insert Rocky Music

Oh yes I feel like I ran up the top of the hill oh yes champ!!!  Ok maybe not ran most like a brisk walk with a limp or two.  Oh yeah and my hip has been going out so maybe a hop and skip.  I've made it threw almost two weeks of temptation here at my parents house.  I swear the longer I'm on a diet the more food that is brought in to tempt me ... lol.  Ok I know I have will power and I can do (I already have a mom don't need any of those pep talks people).  It's almost getting a little comical, when you work at home you can control your environment. BUT when you are in someone else's home working it's like the flood gates are open.  So I put my tunnel vision on to walk from the den to the bathroom and back.  And while preparing dad's meals I just pretend ... hehe.  Here is all the items that are on the black fuzz side of my tunnel vision I pretend not to see!

First we had the Peanut M&M's

(not a peanut fan so I was ok)

The snack station

(only hard one is the chocolate gummy bears)

Then came the Pumpkin with Cream Cheese

(Store bought so I was ok to say no)

Then came the croissants

(that was hard, haven't had carbs in 5 WEEKS, but I sad no)

Then came the black licorice

(Not a fan only like Red so still ok)

Then came rolls WITH Honey Butter!

(Oh man that was hard one, but still no)

THEN came NOT one but FOUR

Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory!

AND this is what I pretend to not look at when I prepare my dad's meals.

I feel like I have entered a reality show "Temptation Island"

YES I know you may be getting sick of me talking about this but it makes me laugh and that is what get's me threw diet, so deal with it ... hehe just playing!!  I hope to bring back some other things soon!

Skinny Sleep ... hmmm idea!

Between work, kids and dad I haven't had a lot of sleep or down time (hint the reason for no real good post here, I haven't even been baking).   So today yet another funny, see it's light reading here for the a bit.  LOL I hope to be back to normal soon!  Current weight in, down 49lbs, but I could use some of this skinny sleep wouldn't that be nice go to bed fluffy and wake up in skinny jeans!!

YUP Tried this ...

I needed a giggle today and saw this on Pinterest these cards by someecards which crack me up.  I so have been there done that.   AND now I'm paying for it with sweat and uncomfortable walking shoes and shorts ... ok they are uncomfortable until I tell my butt to get up of the chair and do the exercise that is when my brain goes to the dark side.  And that dark side has   Darth Vader breathing funny too ... oh wait that would be me too after doing said exercise ... lol
