I didn't have any weight change this week at all. I'm 204.8. I'm sticking to my eating plan like clockwork. I'm not sure what's going on. But I still feel amazing. I'm thinking that when I'm done working my body will settle back down into the losing process again. I have muscles hurting that I had no idea even existed. I will also start doing my Abs of Steel in 2 weeks when I'm not getting up at 4:30am

Sunday September 12, 2010

Today I weighed in at 204.8 but it was a rough "week" for me....you know bloating and such. Anyway, I still feel really good and plan to have an amazing week this coming week. I'm still well ahead of my goal so far. I ate a extra piece of pizza at supper last night, but I didn't beat myself up over it.

I'm hoping to be done to 200 next Sunday, but I won't be angry if I only lose the 2lb. That's why I set the 2lb a week goal in the first place.

This week will be a little different than the last few. I'm working for a different company and I'm not sure how they do lunch yet. I will be more prepared the rest of the week and the next 3 weeks.

Soon it will be time to go back to H&R Block for the Line of Credit and my days will be more predictable. I can't wait to be done with these Acosta jobs. I know it sounds stupid, with the good money and all, but I like being home. Once I'm done with working at various places, I will start to walk again in the evenings.

I'm so not ready for the holidays and I'm trying to stay stress free so I don't over-eat because of it. I'm trying to keep it low key by adding more money into our Christmas fund so we don't have to worry if we're getting a bonus or if it will be on time.

Keeping this blog has been very therapuetic for me. I know that nobody reaqds them but typing it all out at least once a week keeps things real for me.

Today I weighed in at 203.8. That's a full pound from yesterday! I've been sick and I feel like I haven't been getting enough fluids so I'll be stepping that up today.

I'm working again today. That's always touchy because they provide you with lunch. And sometimes I have no idea what I can have so I just eat a little. I feel like I did great yesterday because they had this chocolate mousse thing that smelled awesome. I just ate my 2 finger sandwiches and went outside for the rest of lunch so I wouldn't be tempted.

I went grocery shopping after work. I was shaky by the time I got home. I chalk that up to still being a little sick and maybe not having enough sugar. I probably only had 3 or 4g all day. After I ate a light supper I felt much better.

My goal, even though my goal is really only 2lb a week, is to be at 200 or below when I weigh in on Sunday. I'm planning on meeting my goal by May 1.

I forgot to post on Sunday. I weighed 205.2 On Sunday. This morning, Tuesday, I weighed 204.8lb. I'm hoping to have another week like last week. I will be under 200lb if I have another week like this past one. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers!

I'm super excited about this entire plan. I've pimped it to everyone I know!! I love my family so much for standing behind me and being supportive.

I know no one is reading these right now, but it makes me feel so much better to write them :-)

Day 35 of BFC

This morning I weighed in at 206.2lb. I tried on some clothes that are stored in my closet and I pulled out more size 16's that have been too tight. I was super thrilled to be able to get into them!

I feel great. I've been sick the last several days, but today I feel pretty good except that I'm exhausted.

For breakfast I had 2 packets of instant Sugar Free Oatmeal (Apple Cinnamon) from Walmart and 1 Raspberry Carb Masters Yogurt from Kroger. I add butter and 2 packets of Splenda to my oatmeal. For lunch I had 2 hard taco supremes. Not sure what we're doing for supper yet, but I'm leaning toward Z-ribs

It's Labor Day weekend and I'm a little worried about the cookout on Sunday. I need to decide on what I can eat before I go so that I don't overeat.

I'm hoping that my weight will only decrease from now on. I'm thrilled with my progress.

I wouldn't be able to do this without the support of my wonderful husband nad great kids. They constantly ask me if I'm allowed to have whatever it is I'm getting ready to eat

Weight Loss Journey

This is my first post about my weight loss journey. I started The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise on August 1st. I weighed 228.8lb. I weigh myself every morning before I eat. On Sundays I average my weight in the last 7 days and that is my weight for the week. My weight today is 207.4lb. I've been losing between 4-5 pounds a week. The BFC is an eating plan that I could live with for the rest of my life.

My Dad's entire family has issues with diabetes so this plan has been a step in the direction of me NOT having to take insulin.

I've noticed a decrease in my stomach as well. My waist has decreased 2". I also have a lot energy and feel great!

The one thing I have not adhered to from the book, is that I still use Splenda and I drink a few things with Aspertame in them.

I will say that I have not eaten all of my sugars except for one day, and I'll get to that. I have also done very well with my 6 carbs except that day too. This plan has been amazing for my self esteem as well as my health.

The one day...well, I made potato soup. And I ate a lot. The bad side is that I gained a couple pounds for 2 days, and that I was massively bloated and uncomfortable. The good side is that I gained a couple pounds for 2 days, and that I was massively bloated and uncomfortable. :-) I will remember how miserable I was for those 2 days. And when I think about binging or overindulging again, I just think about those 2 painful days.

My plan is to post every day. But I will definitely be posting on a weekly basis. Probably on Sundays as that's my weekly weigh in.

Thanks to everyone who reads this. And feel free to comment or ask any questions. The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise was the best $10 I ever spent
