Mercy Me

 Well, I did just what I told Char I was going to do.  I tried a new recipe.  Well, not new but modified.  I grilled chicken, made whole wheat penne with alfredo sauce.  Only 50 carbs.  That’s right at my limit.  It was pretty good.  I ate extra chicken before I ate the pasta so that I wouldn’t be as hungry and eat more penne than allowed.  I almost got away with an apple pie but my husband was right behind me and took it, thank God.  Still no exercise But I made it through the day food wise.  Well, I guess that’s about it.  Thanks to all my buddies that have helped me this far.  This has really been hard.  Really hard.  I know that without all the faithful buddies I would have quit by now.  So a big Shout out to all you ladies and (gent).

Well, today was a good day.  I had wonderful food.  Which of course meant none of it was healthy.  I made a homemade banana pudding.  Delicious.  I gave some to my dad, father in law and my mom.  So it’s not going to be any left for tomorrow.  Back to business as usual tomorrow.  I am kinda nervous about weighing in on thurs.  I am really going to be 100% op this week.  I have no choice.  Which means  I may have to go to the gym.  I don’t know about that but I just might have to break down and do it.  I need  a full workout.  Well, to all of my fathers out there happy fathers day.

Ok, I am having some problems right now.  I am currently doing atkins.  Although I am dropping every week I don’t know if I should change my diet plan or not.  I Ate hamburger night before last and pancakes yesterday morning.  If you noticed I didn’t blog about my eating.  I had a op day until about 12:30 a.m. which is when I ate the burger.  Well, I really have not set goal as to how many carbs I eat a day but I also don’t want to eat hardly anything white except chicken.  So, here is my dilema.  I guess I am successful with the diet seeming I am losing every weigh in but I feel like such a failure when I eat something outside of my plan.  This diet is probably the only one that I can have somewhat control over my eating.  I am a compulsive eater.  Once I start I can’t stop.  But with the way I have been allowing myself to eat what I want on the weekends and back to business monday  I have been successful.  I did realize that the pancakes I ate I brought 2 home when I usually eat all 3.  And I didn’t even eat the left overs.  So what does this mean?  When you give me your input please  don’t hold anything against the atkins diet.  I know people have many opinions about atkins but it works well for some people.  I can’t wait to hear what you have to say.  Oh yeah!  The burger I cooked I planned on eating w/no bread but it was whole wheat.

 Well, today was my weigh in day.  Sometimes I forget to weigh in until I see that I’m overdue.  I’ve lost another lb!  I have not been regular so I know I could lose more weight but I don’t know what to do.  Well, it’s back to work for me.  I hope everyone’s  day goes well.  I can’t wait to see how everyone is doing. I don’t know how much I have lost since Jo’s challenge I’ll have to see when that started  We only have a couple more weeks to go everyone.rn

Ok, lets try this AGAIN!  I deleted it the first time.  Ok, have you ever seen the movie shallow hal.(txs angie)  It’s where the guy has a fat girlfriend but in his eyes she’s this gorgeous skinny babe.  Well that’s how I see myself until I look at  pic.  I feel so sexy and slim but when I look at a pic. it’s like I’m all shocked all over again.  I just thought that I would share that It was kinda funny to me today and my day was very stressful so I had to get in a laugh wherever I could.  I stayed 100% with my eating today.  Lunch I had a whole wheat penne pasta with a red pepper sauce and brocolli.  Dinner I had ckn with a tomato sauce with broc and cauli.  What?  They were south beach dinners.  Get it?(commercial)   No exercise I worked from 9-9:30 12 1/2 hours and it was a very stressful day.  So to all you buddie out there remember “what you do today will inspire someone tomorrow”

Well, today was a good day I guess.  I ate op but no exercise.  I was exhausted.  I got off work early and went straight to sleep.  I didn’t wake up until 4:45 because I had a conference call.  Work is a whole other issue.  Everyday it’s something new. I had no idea what to eat for dinner but I found some ribs in the freezer so I put them on the grill to heat them up.  I forgot I bought low carb slim fast drinks so I guess that’s what I can have for breakfast.  I am so tired.  Well, yesterday was a false alarm w/ tom.  Actually he comes and goes whenever he wants.  So I’m sure he’ll be back.  I hate those one day visits. But anywho, I made it through the day without any food not allowed.  So to all my buddies having it a little rough WE CAN MAKE IT.

I’m pushing full speed ahead.  I ate two snickers today during a long boring meeting.  It’s always those meetings that get me in trouble.  I’m selling mm’s and snickers for my neice and have had no desire to eat any. But during that meeting snickers had a new slogan “tanae eat me and then get another”.  Lunch I had grilled chicken.  Dinner I’m grilling a steak and making my version of shrimp scampi.But today I came home from work and did my two mile walk!  What a relief!  Now I want to do my tape and I definitely will not eat anything to mess up what I walked off.  I feel so much better since I exercised, I feel back on track. Really!  So to all my slim buddies out there no more being nice to me if I am not eating or exercising put me in check, NICELY.  Especially walking and my tape if I didn’t mention it in my blog that means I didn’t do it.  So from this point on it’s full speed ahead!  Well, I have to come back and add that no wonder that I wanted these awful foods.  Tom is here!  I noticed that Last month a lot of  people were visited by tom at the same time.  Be strong!

I’m glad today is over. I didn’t have a game plan so I had it hard.  I did get some chicken on the grill but I had to cook something with it and  I had no veggies so I cooked rice.  Yes white rice.  Once I put the sugar and butter on it for my kids that was all she wrote..  Wait one minute…. I had no plans on telling you guys about the rice.  I feel so compelled to tell you everything good or bad.  I Still don’t feel guilty about eating the rive I’m upset because I had nothing else to prepare.  I should always have something here that is allowed for me.  So I know my down fall tomorrow will be better.  I think also I started out wrong  I didn’t eat break. or lunch.  So by the time dinner came around I was really hungry.  Well, I haven’t seen too many of my buddie blogging yet so I’ll check back in. I think I have a little rice on my chin.  Just kidding.

Well I had a pretty fun weekend.  I went catfish fishing last night and caught the biggest fish I have ever seen in person.. Thank God I watched fishing shows before can you imagine me reeling in a big fish imitating a fisherman on one of those shows.  It was funny.  I won’t talk about my eating except that I relaxed and enjoyed my entire weekend.  Today I rode a bike.  I haven’t been on a bike in more than 17 years. Although the tires went flat it was easier than I thought.  I think I’m going to buy my own heavy duty Schwinn.  Well I’m going to go and finish enjoying the last bit of my weekend but of course I’ll check back in later to see how everyone is doing.  If anyone is like me I can’t wait to hear from Jhonica.  Remember, “what you do today will inspire someone tomorrow”

I actually made choices today.  I chose what I was going to eat for lunch what snack I was going to have and even chose to put back some mm’s I picked up.  I lost two more pounds.  I felt a little different if you read my last blog.  I guess two pounds can change something.  My pants fit so big today.  I guess I’m closer to that thong. Oh, sorry I guess I went a little too far.  I don’t care how much I lose I don’t want to see myself in a thong.  Sorry for the visual.  Well, I hope everyone have a great weekend.  I know it’s a little harder for everyone to check in so enjoy.  Of course I’ll be checking in later.  Remember “what you do today will inspire someone tomorrow”
