Exciting stuff

Alright, so I submitted two videos to the Breaking Bad contest. The grand prize is $1000, a walk-on role on the show, all expenses paid trip to New Mexico where they film the show, and $100 a day while the winner is there (3 nights and 4 days I think). It's so exciting. Pop recorded it for me, Mom was there to give advice, and they turned out great! Hopefully I get enough people to vote for me.

Down 24 lbs!

Whoo Hoo! Who is that girl losing all that weight? It's me! It's me! LOL! Really though, I wish it was coming off faster. I want this weight gone, like, yesterday. I can't remember if I mentioned this, but I am on a walking team at work. We also do taebo during lunch, and every time I walk, or workout, I feel better. I love it. I think I may be addicted. hmm... Today I go weigh in and have my inches measured. Let's see if I lost any inches. I think I have, but the question is how much? :)

20 pounds is a huge deal

I know I said I wouldn't weigh everyday, but as of this morning, I have lost 20 whole pounds! I actually feel like this is going to happen for me. My body is letting go of the fat, and it's doing so in a healthy manner. I think it is working so well for me because I want this. Example, yesterday DeAndre and I went to Texas Road House for dinner. I new before hand what I could have, I even brought my own dressing and a piece of melba toast for my salad. I had a 6 oz steak (no steak sauce which actually made the steak taste that much better) as well. Well you know the server brings out those yummy rolls. You know the ones, with the slightly sweet butter. Mmmm...I was able to resist, while DeAndre ate them. I just kept saying to myself, "I have been working too hard to mess up on some rolls." I have to think like that. Like that kind of food is a drug. I've been sober from it for almost 3 weeks, and I am hopeful that when I get to stabilization, I want fall back into the same old habits. I will beat this!

Trying not to weigh everyday

It's so hard not to weigh everyday. I'm going to start limiting myself to weighing on monday mornings, wednesday mornings, and friday mornings. Maybe I'll sneak in a thursday weight check. Having said all that, I weighed myself this morning, and I am 369! Hooray! This is working. I'm feeling better, have more energy, and actually enjoy working out. Yesterday I even did taebo during lunch!:) I predict that if I weigh myself on Monday, I will be 365, maybe less. :) Here's hoping!

It's a new day!

Well I have the Will i.am song stuck in my head (that's a good thing) since I was listening to it while I walked. I really enjoy walking. I never knew it would feel so good. I love walking in the mornings when it's nice and cool. I walk at work everyday (15 at in the am, 30 at lunch, and 15 at my pm break). Maybe soon I will try the treadmill. hmmm....maybe not. I don't know, walking for 30 minutes, but seeing the same scenery, somehow isn't appealing to me. But hey, don't knock something til' you try it right? Anyway, I weighed myself this morning, and I am 370. That's 17 whole lbs! I am so determined to do this. My immediate goal is to get to 350. I think setting small goals is important. I saw these really beautiful dresses that I want to get. It was on igigi.com (the dresses are below), and I want to get them in an 18/20 so bad. They are between $82 and $130 I think, but they would be the first dresses in that size that I have had since middle or high school. Come to think of it, it probably has been since 9th grade. I think that year I crossed over into the 20's.

I started the HNS portion of this diet. It's tough. I mean the drinks are yummy, but it feels like you are eating a buffet. This morning I had 1 egg with 2 oz of cheddar cheese, and a slice of 40 cal. toast, and my hns. I also had some water, and I felt like I was going to burst! Funny, but whatever works you know?

15 lbs in 4 days?

Wow! So I've lost 15 lbs already. This is amazing to me. I already am feeling somewhat better. My clothes are fitting better, and I have more energy. More importantly, I'm not hungry. This week kicks off the walking group I'm in at work. Then I will work out tonight, wed. night, Friday night and maybe Saturday. I worked out this weekend, and I actually did the baby and mommy Pilate's dvd I bought 7 months ago. LOL! Kayla (my 8 month old) was not having it. She was much more interested in crawling away. So I did my best with the video, but honestly, chasing after her was a work out in itself. Whew that baby is fast! I weigh in today, so I can't wait for them to see how much I've lost.

MRC

Today I am going to sign up with the metabolic research center. I had a consultation yesterday, and it was very insightful. I am excited about the possibility. Imagine it, in 24 weeks, I could be 80-111 pounds lighter. WOW! I just hope when I get thin, I don't look like an alien. I do have a big head you know. LOL
