Pay back is a mutha...

Ok so this weekend I kinda got carried away. I have been juicing my veggies and fruits and eating extremely well. So we decided to have a barbecue and man did it do me wrong. I ate a salad and a burger and some shrimp kabobs. Why did I eat that burger. I was doing 1-4...lol if there is a 4 :) I was sick as a dog. My body said what in tar nations are you doing to us. First you want us to relax then you put all of this stress on us. Well it hit me very hard. I was sick like never before. I am turning away from my wicked ways and moving on to what my body needs. Good healthy clean and easily digestible foods....No more pork or beef and more veggies and fruit.

Update... Still holding at 9 1/2 + 3... Yep I gained some.

I need more...

Today and last week was a diffucult one...i mean you could even say I lost the battle last week when my family came in to town. I did horrible and when I stepped on the scale I had gained ugh! But hey I am back on the trail and I will not loose this one..I am going to get back on track today and take charge...I am going to loose this weight and get it done right!

Publix dougnuts move out of the way!!

Update

So my mom asked me if I have lost any weight. I told her no not yet, but soon. I dont want her watching my weight and the foods I eat. Anyway so here is my update.

I have lost 2 1/2 pounds for a total of 9 1/2 pounds. I think that is pretty good. Courtney is so use to see mommy exercise that she is able to recite the workout instructors video. I often here her saying "and march two three four, and kick two.. three..four" it is refreshing to say the least.

Today It all made sense

Today I was doing my daily exercise routine and Courtney asked me what was I doing. I told her I was exercising. She then said "Mommy why are you exercising"? I looked at her an smiled and said; " I want to be healthy and feel better" She smiled and threw her hands up in the air and said "Yay" that was the moment I realized that this child's health and lifestyle dependent on me. If she sees me exercising and living a healthy lifestyle then perhaps she will as well.

So here's to better health and passing on the legacy....

Update!!

Hey Guess what! I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 5 pounds!!!!!! Wow I wont tell you what I have been doing I think I will save that for the final weigh in, leave some mystery. I have a direct interest in my health and I don't plan on stopping. I need your comments to keep me going so please feel free to comment all day long. Thanks .+

I can't fight this feeling...

Ok so this weekend so far has been great. I have realized my goals.

1. Stop using Asthma medicine

2. Teach Courtney a better way of eating.

3. Introduce at least 60% of raw foods into my diet as a lifestyle.

So how did I do this weekend in front of the TV with all of those great commercials? Well i literally kept track of my food by posting what I ate on the coffee table as well as on the refrigerator.

Aiden, Thank you so much for the tips about the sugar craving. You are so right. I have had this urge for cookies, cakes and everything in between. But every time I wanted something sweet I drank a cup of water and then I replaced it with a natural sweetener. Fruit...has been my drink of choice. So last night I cooked some HEALTHY greens, a few slices of lean ham, and corn. As for my breakfast I had wheat pancakes with sugar free syrup and two eggs (the eggs were bad choice) and my coffee. For lunch I had tomato soup.

All in all I have done very well. I made Kool-Aid with Splenda....needs work but not too bad. Courtney thought it was wonderful. She asked for seconds. Oh and I managed to get in half of my required water intake. But slowly I shall rise.

Exercise...um well not so much It was snowing yesterday and I haven't received the bike. I was hesitant to put in a workout tape...even though I had not excuse. I will work out today...I got the tape already set. Wish me luck. Oh and thank you Nepp for your advice, I know understand what I am going through and thank you for supporting me.

Hey its all about accountability! Please stay tuned!

See when you open up to the world people respond

My co worker has decided to pour down her blessing and give me a stationary bike. That is the best news all day. Thank you Mrs M. You are great!
