Hi, still going strong!!!

Yesterday was great, I flubbed up a bit in the morning but not really. I went on a date which doesn't happen enough for me to not eat at! So, I had a egg white/ red pepper/ spinach and the last thing which was the only thing not on my diet, BREAD!

With that said the rest of my day went great! No cheat, no hunger! This morning when I woke up I was .4 oz. heavier but that's not a big deal and I'm sure by tomorrow I will have lost it all again!

This morning I went back to my shake and still love the one with the beets and spinach!

Lunch was egg whites, spinach and peas.

Dinner was chicken.

I'm hungry but but I'm just going to go to sleep and make up for yesterday!!

I can't lie though, I do feel thinner and have more energy!!! I'm happy it's working out and ill keep going strong!

I'm so happy with my results this far!!!!

Day 5, 8 pm I'm starving!

All day I did great!

I didn't get hungry and I drank all my drink!!! Which was fab! I added a beet and a handful of spinach! So yum!! Much better then the yogurt actually!

But, now it's almost 8 and I really craving anything. Sweet, sour, salty, dry, juicy, sugary, meat...seriously just about anything!!

I had a small dinner and just now I had to have a second course, this time I had a turkey burger and moorrreee veggies....

Right about now I'd give anything to dig into the donut holes at the house I'm babysitting at...they always have the best treats! But, with 6 pounds lost...I refuse to give up!

I will now try to babysit and meditate. Meditate the delicious thoughts out and still play with these adorable baby girls!

I am fit, I am happy, I am strong!

4th day of happiness

Well day four is done and 5 pounds has been lost!!! I will post NO "Lost" posters because I'm ready to never see it again!

I am hungry today but not at all like yesterday!

I tried a new ingredient in my shake, GREEK YOGURT!! yum! It put a little zinnggg to the shake.

I'm so thankful for the support I have at home any moms amazing love for me and my success!

I can't believe I've gone this long without candy...seriously. I thought I'd be convulsing or something by this time but I'm allllll good! I also can't believe my salt cravings haven't taken over!

I'm doing good and plucking along :)

I am thin, I am beautiful, I am successful

Day one down, day two off to a great start!

Right now I'm really loving this program!! Yesterday was confusing because I didn't have everything I need but today I do!!

I started yesterday with my new motivation and have continued it on today. I drank the drink this morning and I don't know if my body can handle liquids that early so I got a little qeezy. I had to eat two pieces of toast to settle my stomach but I've felt great otherwise!!! I guess I shed a pound but the real test will be tomorrow. Its nice being at work while I'm doing this because I know it will keep my mind off food but as of yesterday an today I'm feeling great!!!

Wish me good luck for after work.....

Day three what a breeze

Just kidding!! Today was so hard for me!!! I did great though!!!! My shake didn't make me sick this morning thank heavens!!! My mom and I also went grocery shopping so I got a few more things to help with the variety!

I am down 2.5 pounds which is awesome that means only about 7.5 more to go! I am contemplating just doing a week and going with what I lose at the end of the week but we will see!!!

I honestly have no loss of energy or dizziness which is great!!! I actually feel like I have more energy an am more productive!! I'm so excited to get this extra weight offfffff!!!!

Wish me luck for tomorrow!

It's here!!

7:17 pm my "pink method" arrived! Which is perfect! Why you ask?!? Tomorrow just so happens to be my day off!! So, tomorrow will be the day I start and phase one is called "the reset".

"The Rest" consists mostly of me eating veggies and protein and I'm projected to be on it for 14 days. The goal is to lose 5-10 pounds before starting the second phase which I'll explain on a later date.

I will be enjoying a protein smoothy with strawberries for breakfast, 4 oz. of lean protein and unlimited veggies for lunch, repeat for dinner and snack on veggies through out the day. This may be hard for me, I agree but like I said I have a different out look on this thing!! Im going to try and keep telling myself do I want to be healthy or do I want to keep eating? Do I want the food more then the weight loss!!?!? NO!!!

So day one tomorrow. Here go!

Merry Christmas

I came home to a silly surprise after work today. My mom had bought me a Christmas tree and Justin Biebers new Christmas CD!!! Ahhhh love this!! Best day ever.

Wait till you see the tree too. Because seriously she got me Charlie Browns. Ya know the ugliest tree with just one big ornament!!

It was so perfect because I have been wanting a Christmas tree but I couldn't decide what I wanted or what size or if I even needed one because I'm never even downstairs but my mom has made my day with this!

Mommom

Happy birthday baby girl! You are so amazing!! Your are my biggest inspiration!!! I love waiting on the right man with you till were skin and bones ;) I love your handwriting and opinion even when I don't agree. I love your silky sayings and your crazy thoughts!!! I think your the funniest lady around and you amaze me everyday!! You make me laugh and you make me cry. I love our conversations and your ability to speak your mind


Most of all I think it's hilarious that I'm writing this while your talking to me and I have no clue what your talking about...you picked Applebees to eat at, thank heavens you changed your mind from steak n' shake and were waiting for it to open because we both ready a half hour early...


Love you granny!!!

P.S. Your laugh is infectious

Pink Method

I watched Dr. Phil last night on DVR and he had a show about women's health and the whole bases was on a new diet program called "P.I.N.K. Method". It sounds really fabulous too, everything about it is geared towards women and OUR struggle with weight loss.

Let's face it, everything is different when your a female! Our bodies just have a mind of their own and our minds have their own mind too!! You agree? I'm sure you do so you get what I'm saying when I say I need something that can work with my mind and body. I'm really excited because I'm going to give this program a try! I know, I'm just everyone else who's tried everything else but if you never try you'll never know! Also, you can never succeed if you don't use all your resources and give your heart to everything you try.

I feel like I've had success with everything I've tried before, i.e. Weight Watchers (17) , hcg (7), insanity(no weight loss but I could have kicked your sass if I wanted too..), and a few other things but I need to find my balance with everything. I'm so young and I can't keep wasting my body away. Yes it's true I do enjoy food, or I should say sugar, more then the average girl and I need to learn to control my habits!! NO I won't cut out candy, I'd smack the person who tells me to do so!!!! But!!! I do realize my candy cravings will only get worse and I'll only get bigger.

With that said here's to a new start, change for the better and a smaller pants size!
Wish me luck because you know I'll need it!!! I'll keep everyone updated just like I always do!!


I will be enjoying my last few days of normal eating habits before I get the system in the mail (takes about 4-9 days)

Don't fail me now Dr. Phil...

P.S. Dr. P said something interesting during this episode (when doesn't he?!?) to the bride on the show...," you say you love your boyfriend and that you want to marry him but every time you sit down to eat you chose your food over your dream." (completely made that sentence up but he said something along those lines!) it's so true for me too!!! I keep choosing candy/unhealthy foods over my dream of being fit, healthy and skinny!!! WTF ME! What's your deal?!? Well note to self who wants to give up,"nothing taste as good as skinny feels"

Here's to something new

Im trying this blog thing again, I hope it will e better this time because now I'm blogging on my phone! Which means lots of pictures. Actually it will be mostly pictures, which I'm really excited about!
