Phase 2 Week ? Day?

Morning Weight 162.8

Ok I seriously have no clue what day or week I am at in this whole thing. Boo for not keeping track. I think I might look at the calendar to try and figure it out. I know that I am losing weight again. Yay me!!!

I have modified the diet just a bit and it seems to be working for me. I have been eating Market Day chicken patties that are breaded (big no no), I have had some ice cream (another no no), and other things. Now mind you  am not eating these things every day but in moderation and as a treat. The patties are once a day bc I need the chicken and I am kinda over grilled and baked chicken. Too easy to get tired of food easily. 

So that's where I am at and I have about two more weeks and then I am off on a vacation where I am going to eat right and work out on days that I might have splurged a bit. Then it's back on the diet unless I decided to take another week off. I think a week will be good but then again I do have a bday party with yummy food after that vacation. I guess I just need to see where I am at in the next 2-3 weeks before I make that decision.

Hopefully I can keep blogging about this diet till I am done.

Phase 2 Week 3

Well the first week total loss was 10lbs. Yay me!!!

Last week has been a battle. I have maintained, loss, and gained. I am holding steady with a 10lb loss. This weekend I ate all the things I shouldn't of and do I feel bad nope. I was feeling worse last week when I lost no weight. So I stopped taking the drops and just ate normal but stayed within the 500 cals. I also have my monthly friend so that is not helping.

So today I started the drops again and we will see what the rest of this week brings. I just need to see the scale dip below 164lbs and I think that will help me a ton. So depressing to not see the scale move when you are doing all the right things.

Phase Day 6

Morning Weight 169

I am shocked to be in the 160's today. I don't think I look different but I am sure if I were to measure some body parts the numbers would reflect that loss. Either way no complaints from me.

Last night I went and got some Adkins protein drinks that I am going to try. Chicken is getting really hard to eat no matter how I cook it. So for now I am going to eat the chicken either for lunch or dinner for a few days and see how it goes. After Monday I am going to try the drink and see how it affects my weight. I wanna get the first week under my belt before I try something new. If this works then I will go and get more or try a different brand. It's a shame that all the protein mix stuff costs so much money. I saw one for $10 and it was a small container compared to the $20 containers. Hubby would not be happy if I brought one of those home. lol

I am still hungry but it seems that the morning is when I am the most hungry. I seriously can't wait to be in phase 3 so I can start eating breakfast again. It also doesn't help that I want to eat everything bad and by I mean fast food. Ugh!!! Oh cake day (son's b-day) you just can't come soon enough. lol

Phase 2 Day 5

Morning Weight 171

So close to 160's I can taste it. Well besides being tired this morning I am feeling good!!

I am a little hungry but I am also used to eating breakfast. I think that's going to be the hardest hunger to get rid of. The hunger is starting to go away and I am not having to eat snacks to get me thru the day. I will have a before bedtime snack if I have the calories left. I also have a snack before dinner. I think I might save most of my calories for dinner and an evening snack. Evening's are the hardest for me because I am always snacking before bedtime. Such a hard habit to break.

I need to take pictures of me in a mirror so I can see the difference. I need to do it today because I can already see a difference in my stomach. Actually I'll be right back and take them now. :-) Ok pictures taken but I think I will have the hubby take better ones tonight.

At the end of everything I will share my measurements and how much I actually lost. I am hoping to lose all the pounds that my ticker says but for now I am paying attention to the little loses. You must celebrate the little losses before you celebrate the big losses.
 

Phase 2 Day 4

Morning Weight 173

Today was a good day. Not too hungry which is great!!! I even survived my husband eating dinner in front of me. Boy did it smell good!!! Meals have been easier but I am getting tired of chicken so I might have to come up with different spices to use. Everything else is easy to eat for me.

Well I don't have much to add today so on to day 5!!!  

Phase 2 Day 3

Morning weight 174.4

Well today I didn't wake up hungry but I have been fighting it all morning.
Just have to keep myself busy and keep drinking my water, tea, and coffee. I figure if it gets too bad I will have a morning snack. Right now it is lunch time and I am getting ready to make some chicken, a bread stick, and maybe tomatoes. Although I might save those for a snack after I pick up N from school.

I have been reading up on the whole hunger thing and people have been saying that it lasts for 3-7 days. So I am hoping that tomorrow I am not hungry till lunch and dinner times. But if I am still hungry after 7 days then I will have to figure something out. Nothing comes easy it seems.

So I have made a big no no the last 2 days. I was mixing salad and little tomatoes together. Only one veggie per meal, just like one fruit per meal. Yeah guess my mind decided otherwise for me. So today I am going one veggie per meal no matter what my mind says. lol

I am looking forward to see what I weigh in 5 days. Although I will be heading to the in-laws house so I am hoping to not be tempted by cookies or any other sweet things. I will be bringing my own food so that way I will not cheat and I will see a nice loss (even if it is only 1lb) on the scale Monday morning.

Phase 2 Day 2

Morning Weight 175.6

I took my measurements but I will track those at My Fitness Pal. After I am done with the diet I will share just how much was lost in inches. I am also tracking my food and weight. This way I know I am eating enough and will know just how much I have lost once this is all over with.

I woke up hungry again. Today I had plain black coffee and an orange for breakfast. So here I sit hungry yet again. Did I seriously eat that much that my tunny wants to eat all the time??? Seriously it's nuts.

I think I am going to have to have a morning, afternoon, and nighttime snack for awhile. Not like that is bad because who wouldn't want to snack on veggies or apples? I love apples and I had forgot just how much I love oranges.

Weight loss is good but changing my eating habits is way better.

Phase 2 Day 1

Morning Weight 177.6

Ugh I am hungry, coffee with nothing in it tastes kinda gross, and I almost forgot to weigh myself. The best part is I am going grocery shopping this morning. Is it lunch time yet??? I really hope I loaded enough on days 1 and 2. If I didn't I have a feeling that this will be a really long phase 2. *sigh*

Ok pretty sure that's all the complaining that I need to do on a Monday morning. Doesn't help that N woke me 20 mins before the alarm to wake him up at 6 am. That kid needs to sleep!!!

Load Days 1 & 2

177.0 load day 1
178.0 load day 2

Tomorrow starts the diet part and another weigh in for me. I plan on weighing myself every morning like they say to do.
I can't wait to see that first 5lbs gone!!!! Every loss is a great loss no matter how little or big.

Tomorrow starts a new journey. 

I will not fail.

I will do my best.

I will succeed!!

While waiting to pick up my little boy from school I thought I would try out the mobile Blogger app. It is quite nice and I might actually blog more.

Let's see where am I on the whole weightloss thing. Well not so great yesterday I over ate way too much so today I am eating better. I even turned down oreos. So a step in the right direction. I did great with water and today I am slacking. I'll get there. Now to get my butt on he treadmill. Maybe tomorrow if I feel better because the kids gave me their colds. Boo!

Tomorrow is a new day!

Time for a change

Ever just felt so fat that your bones ache when you get up from sitting. Ouch!! That pretty much sums up how I feel every stinking day. Now I don't really look fat in my eyes unless I am looking in a mirror with very little clothes on. With clothes I think I look fine but without I am horribly disgusted with my body. Seriously who holds onto almost 60lbs of baby fat after three almost four years?? Ugh!

So now I better start walking on the treadmill and kicking my butt into gear. Once upon a time I was almost at pre pregnancy weight but then I got pregnant and even though I only gained 33lbs it really never came off. I even breastfed for 2 years and that didn't even help. Crap next time I will make sure that I am drinking extreme water instead of eating more.

When we get back from a mini vacation I will hop on that treadmill and burn some calories and fat. I can only hope with thr amount of walking that we do while away that I will either drop a pound or two or just maintain the fat that won't leave. Now lets hope that I don't screw up my ankle in the process because right now I have sprained ankle. The weather is not making it feel so hot either. That sucks because I actually have the motivation to get on the treadmill but my foot doesn't feel so hot in a shoe while it is wrapped. Grrrr!!

So I will add a ticker of my fatness and make some small goals for myself. Hopefully by this time next year I will be happily maintaining my goal weight.
