I haven’t worn these jeans since my drunkorexia days. I probably weighed 115 then and was skinny fat. Now that I have more muscle they fit much better and are actually loose. I sure was dumb back then. If I knew then that I could actually eat and lose I wouldn’t have believed it. If you are eating cereal in the morning and saving all your calories for partying at night please stop.
Yeah, old jeans!
As far as secrets for losing 4 lbs in 4 days….THIS. Sorry, his secrets are safe with me I will tell you this. My sugars from the past month have gone from 14g a day to 5g a day. Yep, check the yogurt you’re eating…possibly twice a day. You eat more sugar in one sitting than I eat in a week. Harsh but true. No nut butters on my plan right now. OMG, I have 3 jars sitting in my kitchen I get to use it on Saturday and I can’t wait! For my meal the night of the show i’m seriously having PB Loco banana pb, sugar free blueberry preserves and no salt added blue chips. I can’t wait! I won’t care about the sugar I eat then. You better believe pumpkin will be back in my life. That’s worth the extra 5 lbs right there
For Mike’s lunch today I made him sloppy joe’s with turkey meat. So then I had a brilliant idea tonight for his dinner. Sloppy joe pizza! He loved it!! The whole house smells so good. It was BBQ flavored…mmm…I miss BBQ.
One more day on this 3 day dry out diet…thank goodness. Then Wednesday I get to eat and maybe my abs will make an appearance WOO!
After dropping my water i’m praying the love handles are tamed more
Yes, that is me! 110.4 this morning. I didn’t even “workout” yesterday. Unless you considered walking for 2.5 hours around Indy and sprinting a 1/2 mile yelling at my husband. My metabolism is on fire and i’m just enjoying it. I wish it was like this ALL the time.
BE PREPARED:
Make sure you don't forget anything
When you're away, make sure your meals are prepared
Eat a good breakfast:
I wish this was mine
*drool* you know how hard that was for me
Go site seeing around Indianapolis:
Hey Angela, we'll stop here before I take you home
Mike and I have a vacation planned for Boston now in 2011. He qualified to run the marathon this afternoon! I’m SO proud of him! Yes, tears were shed by both of us. My groin was also pulled a little more. I knew his time was going to be close and I was super excited when I saw him around 3:05:00. He only had a mile left. I couldn’t believe it, he is really gonna make it! I took a shortcut and tried to find the finish line. In the meantime I saw him AGAIN. His pace looked like it had slowed down and I was sprinting with him yelling at him. He said he really need that. He obviously is WAY faster than me so he took off. I saw him cross the line at around 3:11:42 BUT we have to wait for official results. I’ll post some pics tomorrow. We’re still on a high!
p.s. Check out this awesome giveway! While your there it won’t hurt to look at this!
Wait until I take a pic of my protein powder stash Out of all those I really only take the fish oil, multi and digestive enzymes on a regular basis.
I feel GREAT today! Weight was 112.2 and i’m seeing changes as each hour passes. This is what it’s all about! I can literally feel my metabolism is on fire right now! I feel like a man who can eat a whole large pizza in 2 days and not gain weight…aka my husband. Of course that will not happen so i’ll never know My downfall is sugar after being dehydrated, not a good combo.
I went to Target for the 3rd time this week, yes i’m an addict. I’m getting so excited to bake and make treats for the holidays! I’m making these for Angela and I. I had to buy sugar because I don’t have any. Real chocolate and butterscotch chips yet I got suckered into the multi grain Rice Krispies. I told you I have issues They have less carbs…like it’s going to matter.
Jumbo too!
Boomer made me laugh yesterday. On our walk she found a slice of pizza from Papa John’s. That is my favorite kind too. She carried it with her until we got home. I wanted to rip it out of her mouth and eat it. I make my bed every morning. I get it from my gma. I went to the bedroom to get some socks and noticed Mike’s side was turned down? Then I walked over and looked and there was mounds of black hair there. She must have been comfy…silly girl.
I have to give her incontinence pills and the only way is with potted meat or vienna sausages. I feel silly at the store buying all health food and them jumbo packs of sausages. You all who have to eat gluten-free will be happy to know:
GLUTEN FREE! EAT UP!
Are you a spoon licker? I normally am but haven’t been in about 8 weeks. I’m not worried about the extra cals but the trigger to continue eating the yummy food! It really is a hard habit to break but a great habit not to form.
LOL! I had forgotten about this show I use to do. Wow, that brings back memories. I wanted to be like her when I grew up. Little did I know that I would be flat chested and have hips. I’m not a Dallas Cowboy’s cheerleader either. Yes, I had high expectations for myself.
I’m really starting to feel the brain fog from my meal plan. WOW! BUT, I woke up this morning and weighed 112.8 Things are working and i’m moving along.
I think i’ll take Boomer to the park today so she can stretch her legs. I’ll be stretching mine too.
Mike and I watched V yesterday. So far so good!
Mike always eats cereal for breakfast. When I was making his dinner last night he said it smelled so good and he hates waiting until it’s finished. THAT is why he eats cereal…no waiting. It made me chuckle
Who did you unrealistically want to be when you grew up?
How many of you are excited for Vto start? Mike and I thought it was great that we both used to watch it when we were little. Of course we didn’t truly know what it was about so now we will..I hope I would have been about 8 years old then. I just remember the snake tongues.
I finally went walking with my friend Amy again. My groin did start to hurt after awhile so we cut it short. Only 45 mins instead of 60 mins.
I can’t wait to start eating pumpkin again. I was at my hairdresser’s yesterday and we were talking about it. Her vet told her to give her dog some once because it was constipated. So maybe that’s why I wasn’t having a problem using the bathroom until I quit eating the pumpkin? In Tony’s email with my diet he puts…no more pumpkin, sugar free syrups or anything NOT on the plan. I was thinking, so I could have used pumpkin last week…poo. Oh well
Wow, the days are dwindling down. My meal plan this week isn’t as bad as Tony made it up to sound. He told me it was going to be really low cal and it’s not really I don’t think? I actually get fruit! Berries or an apple. I chose strawberries I made the BEST little PWO snack! I have to really watch what i’m putting in things now. I’m cutting out ketchup and other little things I use.
Mmmm….strawberry pie. The key is the All The Whey cake batter whey protein. If you do buy this powder make sure you DO NOT get the fat-free kind. I know some people that do NOT like this kind. There’s not much fat it the regular kind anyway.
My breakfast now would be really sad if I hadn’t discovered food bloggers and all their tips and tricks. I made a measily 1/4 cup of oats seem like a lot after tempering in my eggs! Thanks April
My mom is having a treadmill delivered today. Guess who was nominated to stay there until the guy shows up…ugh. I’m also getting my hair trimmed this afternoon. Hopefully Amy and I can get together sometime today for a walk. My groin is starting to feel better so I have to torture it
I was filling out my entry form for the Kentucky Muscle and it says occupation. I almost put domestic goddess but housewife will do
I love working my abs. Maybe it’s because they are pretty easy for me to get. I don’t hold weight in that area…now my love handles are another story hee hee! This morning I did Cathe’s Cardio and Weights because I like to let Mike sleep in on Saturdays and not wake him up with the treadmill. Then I dusted this DVD off. I forgot what a great ab series this is. Cathe kills you and there are many mini workouts to do. My weight was 114 this morning so I lost 5 lbs in a month 5 lbs WITHOUT extensive cardio I may add. Here’s my October tally MOVE IT.
Tony is sending me a new diet to follow next week. I have a feeling it’s gonna be tough but i’ve only got 2 more weeks to go!
Question for you. I’m going to buy some King’s Hawaiian Bread because i’m craving it and Angela has never had it. OMG, if you haven’t been on their website check it out. LOTS of good recipes on there. My question is what should I make to go on the side? We will be traveling a few hours to Louisville so it will have to be something that last and that is good cold.
I just want to give a shout out to my girls! Luckily they will get to dive into the things we’ve been passing back and forth through email
Becca: She is gorgeous. Even in great shape before she started this whole contest journey.
Genie: She placed 1st at her last competition this past weekend. Her competition was TOUGH! She is and should be extremely proud. There is no doubt in my mind she will take first this weekend as well. I can actually see her turn Pro one day. She has a unique beauty and although she hasn’t posted many pictures her body is to DIE for!!
Jessica: Um…hello! She went from a cute, chubby redhead to Jessica Rabbit OW OW! (I think her blog may be private) just take my word for it
*apparently Genie has updated and has pics WOO!…stupid google reader*
I already know how Jes and Bec’s road trip is going to go. They are going to be looking at all the billboards saying they are going to stop there on their way home. Oh yes, been there done that LOL! Rememberthisplace? Now on the way back from Louisville, Angela and I are hitting up the Russel Stover’s outlet. Only to smell of course
Boomer and I went to PetSmart today. She just loves that place and it makes me happy to take her. Too bad the dang food I feed her is so expensive. I often wonder why I spend so much on that brand but then when I check out she loves those dang cheap Alpo biscuits they give her?
Why kind of food do you by for your pet? I buy Nutro Senior *sniff sniff* for Boomer now.
Now you would think i’m talking about the zone i’m in right now since I have 2 weeks left. I AM in that zone and it’s great! I’m actually talking about some complimentary products that Abbott Nutrition provided me with to sample.
Thank you Nicole! She also sent a sweet note and realized I won’t actually get to try these just yet but they are packed in my “box o’ goodies” for the show.
I didn’t get them packed before Mike snagged a few items. He first tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Indulgence bar. He really liked it. He said it was like a Reese’s Cup but with that protein taste. Whatever that means? After a run yesterday he ate the Dark Chocolate Caramel Pecan bar. He said the dark chocolate is really good but he’s not real big on caramel or pecans in anything but that didn’t stop him from taking one to work today
I had to go to the Vitamin Shoppe to get some secret ingredients today.
Today is ab day but i’m gonna move that to this weekend until I feel a bit better.
I have a teeth cleaning at 2:40p and then my mom, sis and I are going to see Paranormal Activity!(speaking of my stomach)
Do you like scary movies? I LOVE them!!! I can’t wait to see Saw VI. Mike and I just watched the first 4 again to get caught up
I will tell you this. My sugars from the past month have gone from 14g a day to 5g a day. Yep, check the yogurt you’re eating…possibly twice a day. You eat more sugar in one sitting than I eat in a week. Harsh but true. No nut butters on my plan right now. OMG, I have 3 jars sitting in my kitchen

Things are working and i’m moving along.
