I can’t remember whoes blog it was on…

Someone on Buddyslim had wrote a blog about Virgin Coconut Oil . I did some additional research on it. Its supposed to boost metabolism and sometimes helps aid in weight loss. Well after work I went to GNC and got a bottle in pill form… Its natural so figure it couldn’t do any harm. I will let you all know how that works out.

Well I  weighed myself and the scale has not moved since last time I weighed myself (Saturday). I am trying hard not to get discouraged only been a few days.

Well I am off to do shopping for school for the kids -that should be fun.  I have been exercising every night and I think I will take a break tonight…..

Such a boring blog tonight! lol Hugs everyone!

This is probably a stupid question….

Ok, I have increased my water to about 48 oz everyday. Before I started I was not drinking water at all. Can anyone tell me if I add crystal light does that still count as water intake?  I also know that crystal light doesn’t have carbs or surgar but it does have some calories. I know its probably a dumb question… Anyway everyone have a great Monday! Hugs!

Now I remember why I don’t like doing sit-ups….

Last night for the first time in years and years I attempted to do sit ups after working out on my Gazelle. I must of only done maybe 10 and I felt like passing out, lol. Afterward I was so nausiated(hope I spelled that right) and  felt like hurling! (sorry I know thats gross)lol. But I ‘m proud of myself I worked out every night last week and I actually wanted to do it.

So I weighed in this morning and down another pound and half, WooHoo! I did cheat last night had quite a bit of pasta with dinner. Since I am watching carbs not really supposed to have any. 

Also theres soda in the house again and I am getting ready to throw it out when know one else is looking. My oldest daughter(10) is addicted to it also…. and I use to wander why shes so hyper sometimes.

The weekends are the hardest for me. Thats when I don’t drink the right amounts of water and more tempted to cheat. I did give myself Sundays to cheat but I started last night. A little worried…trying to stay motivated.

Well just got back from swimming with the kids going to get a HEALTHY snack everyone have a great weekend!

I was feeling a little discouraged…but better today.

A few days ago I felt like throwing in the towel. I weighed myself after work and the scale went up a few pounds. I was so upset because I thought I was doing really good with the diet. But I figured my body is probably overwhelmed by the amounts of water I am consuming(something its not used to). So I put it down to water weight.

So to make a long story short…. I weighed myself today and the scale went down 2 more pounds. Woohoo!

On another note I have so much energy and have started working out on the gazelle. I am so blessed lately when I get home instead of cleaning I am able to start working out because my 10 and 8 year had decided to clean the whole house for me. I guess this was their well hidden secret. Because they actually did a great job! Sometimes I try to do it all on my own and didn’t realize I had two little helpers there for me this whole time. They are my angels, God has truly blessed me.

Well Happy Thursday everyone have a Great Day, I know I am!

Never said this before… But I will be happy when the weekends over

Well this weekend has been a little rough. That time of month has rolled around(and you woman know what thats like) and I am having major cravings for chocolate. I gave in last night and had 3 oreo cookies. I also slipped up by having a cup of soda. Well on a better note I started to work out on my Gazelle and I weighed in and lost another pound. So Since last Monday I have lost a total of 4 pounds. Well I don’t know about you all but I am ready to get a new week started these weekends are tough. At work I have no temptations and I seem to stick to my diet better…and dring more water.

Water… mmmmmmmmm

This is the craziest thing. I know its from the water. In the last year I have been having major break outs on my face. Can never get my face completely clear. I have only been on water for four days and my face is just about cleared up today- and Monday it was horrible! Like I said before I am a soda pop addict and would not touch a drop of water. I know it flushes your system but didn’t think it would work that fast. Just wanted to share this with you. Everyone have a great day.

Happy Wednesday!

Well my third day in and getting a little easier. This site and the people on it are great. I find when I want to throw in the towel if I come online I get motivated just by reading the blogs and encouragement from my buddies and others on this site. Well I start my day with a half of cup of coffee to ward off the caffeine headaches and trying to snack more throughoout the day on low cal stuff. I am not a breakfast eater actually coffeee is all I usually have but trying to start eating balanced now in the morning. Everyone have a great day its hump day! almost Friday!

I am new here… and had a rough day yesterday

Hi everyone,

I just joined this site yesterday and I started my diet yesterday. which did not go well at all. I started off great had a rice cake in the morning with my bottled water (which I hate!) See I am addicted to caffinated soda which I know is a lot of my problem. For lunch I had an apple and Low fat multigrain hotpocket but by the time dinner rolled around I had such a headache- i am guessing from no caffine and I was starving…. So to make a long story short I blew it! Usually I don’t eat a lot during the day anyway so don’t know why I was so hungry today.

Well I am trying not to be hard on myself and this morning I had my rice cake and coffee. Will try weining myself off the caffeine so not to get such a headache.

Well I hope that I can make friends here the added support would help a lot.
