South Beach Diet

Monday is the big start date on the South Beach Diet. I think I will really enjoy it, it seems balanced and healthy.

Phase 1 lasts 2 weeks, can eat as many proteins and vegetables as I like, plus fats like olive oil. Fruit and starches aren't allowed until Phase 2. The recipes will give me a varity of things to eat, and they sound very yummy. I like that I can print out everything and have it right there for each day. I am going to get a little binder and put every week in it so it's all there and nothing will get misplaced.

Saturday my plan is to get up early, get dressed anad head to the stores with my list. It will be a big pricey grocery trip, but I need to get all fresh foods. There are somethings I have already, but it will be worth it cause it's something I will stick too and enjoy. It is all worth it in the end, cause I want to be one sexy bitch. :P

After this week I've had (been total and complete hell) work wise I need to get my body back on track. I have been sucking at eating, I had multiple binges, pizzas, chips, chocolate bars etc etc. My body hates me, it's like OMFG woman, WTF are you doing to me???? So, I am going to listen to my body, and get fresh GOOD foods back into my body and I gotta get rid of the negative I have. It's hard to do when work is involved, it's seriously sooo much stress I can't help it. I am waiting for the moment for me to break down, seriously.

I am excited for this diet, I will think positive and put my self first and continue on with my wonderful life. Also, being out of CC debt and other debts is a great feeling, that takes A LOT of my shoulders.

Gotta keep focused

Every time the weekend comes, I think that it's alright to eat like carp. Not sure why, but I do and it's starting to bother me. Possibly it's because I am usually not overly busy or weekends is when cravings come and I give in to them.

Today it was 2 chocolate bars (god help me), shared cactus nachos, and had a boston brute from BPs, chocolate milk. I currently feel like ass, and my stomach isn't very happy with me.

What do I do to get out of the oh a little bit off on the weekend won't matter? Possibly, I just gotta keep healthy tasty snacks around so I stop wanting the "real" junk food? I don't know. I gotta stay focused, totally focused other wise I will go back to where I was, and God knows I don't want that to happen. 40 lbs is too much to turn my back on.

I would like to do a few things, but I don't feel comfortable doing things on my own. A yoga class, also thinking to maybe try curves out as well, but I wish I had someone to go with. I can do walking the dog on my own, but when it comes to a class I am too scared to do it my self with people I don't know. Yoga is the one class I would like to try just to see if I will like it.

40 DOWN Baby!!!!!!!!

Sweeeeet Mama!!!



I feel great, happy......sure crazy how fast your mood can change and how you feel about stuff once something like that happens.



I am starting The South Beach Diet next week, which I think I will like. It's similar to what I am doing right now, but I just want something to follow and I am going to try doing it online which isn't too bad in price ($20 per month), and if I don't like the online thing, I will cancel it and just continue on with out it. I am pretty excited about it though.



Here's to another kick ass week!!!

Meh.

That's all I have to say, is meh.

Not much really to add, been stressed, down and blarg for the past week or so. Weight is going alright, I haven't weighed in over a week though because my scale sucks due to not reading proper weights, and I haven't gone to buy another one. Other then that, not much to add.

Binge

Yup. That's what I did tonight. I had major cravings, I tried to fight them, but I gave in. 1 small bag of sour cream N onion chips, Reese's peanut butter cups, and chocolate milk. I think I packed them away in 10 mins flat. My gut hurt. I think that was the first time I binged like that in a long time.

Tomorrow, will be back to regular scheduled programming. I will be up no later then 7:30am, go get a few groceries (fresh veggies, good bread, ff lunch meat and fruit is all I need), come home and have breakfast, then I gotta scrape my walks which is a huge job as I live on a corner lot so will get half of it done, then clean clean clean. I sat on my ass all day today except for my 2 walks, but one of them included my stopping at the store.

I am hoping, if I drink tons of water, this effing binge won't affect my WI on Monday. I gotta hit up that low carb store to pick up somethings, since I am going to be focusing more on the low carbs and low low sugar. If anyone reading this can give me ideas for low carb things to look for, please comment and let me know.

My new beginnings are coming, I see my self at 200 lbs, I can see it beyond the horizon. Then I can see my final goal 150, it's there, I know it is, I can taste it. I will get there, I know I will, because I WILL NOT be over weight for the rest of my life, I WILL NOT give up.

And for a side note: Cute English guy asked me out for drinks the other day, had to cancel cause I was feeling like a cold coming on. Hope to go for those drinks soon though. : )

And GO SAINTS!!!!! Who Dat????

Stress, diet and sticking to it

Sigh.

So stressed.....about money. I can't ever seem to catch up on things, it just stresses me out. I am trying hard to not give into my stress eating. Earlier this week, when Marley and I went for our walk, I stopped at the corner store and bought Reeses Peanut Butter cups, and ate all three of them on the walk. It was like heaven in my mouth. I felt bad after, but omg, it was good.

This week, it was alright, feeling a little tired but over all I am feeling awesome. I count on my friends to stand by me and help me when I am down. I look to them for inspiration and give me a kick in the ass when I need it. The next week will be a start of a challenge for me, there is changes in my plan I will be making, and going to just try focus and continue on.

Tomorrow, I am going to wear my new jeans I got. FINALLY got them back from the tailor, and they are in a smaller size. They fit me perfect, and when I go down more, they will still fit me good.

This weekend, is going to be low key and just hanging out at home, and it's going to be wamer out, so I have a lot of snow clearing to do on my side walks, and also get in some walks.

Till next time..............
