My Message to Tire Slasheres

Sunday, February 14, 2010

Are you a tire slasher or do you change the tire. This really has been going in my mind for the past couple days. I'm a big Jillian Michaels fan and listen to her podcasts and this really stuck out to me.

Say you are driving down the road and get a flat tire. Do you run out and slash all the other three tires because you can't drive your car? Or do you get your tire changed and go along your way? When you look at it this way it doesn't make sence to slash your other tires does it? Atleast that's how I feel.

So when you are going along in your day and you give into that chocolate bar or have seconds why do we find the need to give up. Why not just fix the behaivor and keep on going? It's time we change that tire and stop slashing the rest of them. We CAN do this and you are WORTH it!!!!!

Next time you find yourself not sticking to your plan pull out your spare "tire" ha ha so you don't end up with a spare tire. Keep moving foward even if the occational flat tire slows you down don't sabatge your journey or you might get stuck on the side of the road.

*****Also never forget to come for help if you need help changing your "tire" Hugs to all stay positive and keep moving foward on your journey :o) With a bit of team work we CAN do this!!!!!

Lost a pound and making positive changes

Tuesday, February 09, 2010

Hello everyone happy Tuesday!!! :o)

I still haven't tried broccoli, maybe tomorrow. Part of it is that I'm scared and other part is the time. I think I will brave it tomorrow. I am really hoping that it was just that bag making me sick. I like eating the broccoli with mu lunches at work. So we will see.

I have found more people in Tucson to maybe get together with. I'm so excited!!! I like having more friends that have a healthy goal in life :o) I'm going to finish my journey!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Today was weigh-in day for me and even though I ate towards the high end of my calories for the week and exercised near the low end I still lost a pound!!! I was very happy with that.

Tonight was another seminar with a buffet and I once again brought my own food :o)

Next week will be a bit tricky as I will be traveling Monday to Boston then at an all day meeting Tuesday then traveling home Wednesday. I'm going to take some stuff with me, but some I will have to just see. Next week my weigh-in is also going to have to wait till Thursday when I wake up back at home or maybe I will just do it Monday morning :o) The second weigh-in for the contest at work is also next week on thursday!! I'm so going to rock the challenge at work!!!!!!

I'm so excited at the changes taking place in my life and look forward to each and every day more and more. ***disclaimer - I really still don't like work though, but it's needed right now LoL

Thanks again to everyone that has posted on my page and blogs!!! Love ya all!!!! Everyone on here is so amazing, I love all the stories, support, etc. Keep up the great work and keep sparking... hugz

The pain of Ex's when you have kids with them

Monday, February 08, 2010

So I think tomorrow I will try broccoli again, but not the stuff from the bag and only 50grams. Yesterday was spent running around, so I didn't get to cleaning like I wanted. After we finally got home I did manage to get on the treadmil for 65 min though :o) Yeah!!!!! I continued my streak!

Today hubby asked what I wanted to do today and when I told him clean, he didn't argue one bit LoL. So I ended up filling two big trash bags. WOW I still have to put away a bunch of stuff out on the bed, but hopefully it won't take too long. I'm learning to part with stuff I no longer need :o) Yeah!!!! I CAN do this! I ate dinner a bit late but I was so into cleaning that I didn't want to stop to eat. I did manage to get my calories in though.

Had a few problems with my ex also today but that too shall pass. He was complaining about me letting him pick up my son on fridays instead of sat. stating that it's not fair if he picks them up Friday because he is only getting credit for 49 days a year. So now he wants to only have them Sat. 4pm to Sunday at 5pm even if my daughter doesn't have practice Sat. It just seems so messed up to me. He only sees them every other weekend as it, and goes Mia for one reason or another . He also informed me that he will be out of town the month of March. I don't even actually recieve child support alot of the time. My kids are 9 and almost 11 and till he just took me back to court his child support was only 300 (because I let the judge lower it and order no uninsured medical) a month and he owes me 20k . Now since he took me back to try to get it lowered, the judge didn't even give me a chance to lower it this time and he ordered him to pay 40% of uninsured medical, it's now like $600 a month. Well I sent him a thing from my daughters tooth being pulled for his portion of $10 ( We have been split up for 9 years now and he has paid no medical) and I let him know about the surgery fee (for my son to get his tonsils and adnoids out) coming in a couple weeks of $40, he went through the roof and stated what your giving me a bill??? That's what child support is for, so anyways I let him know what page it was on and that's when he started saying that he shouldn't get the kids fridays, etc. But this is why he is the Ex :o)

Enough rambling about that, I need to go get my bed cleaned off and get some sleep. Hugz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)

Mimi's adventure and bad tummy pains

Saturday, February 06, 2010

So the last week I have been having bouts of really bad tummy pain. I think I finally know what food is causing it. I'm thinking it is the brocolli. I'm not sure if it's this last bag I bought or what. Tuesday I had a pretty bad bout 4 hours after I ate lunch which I had some broccoli. That last about 3 hours, pretty painful. Then Wednesday I decided to leave out the broccoli to see if that was it since I didn't get sick after dinner tue night. I have had problems after I ate once before a few years ago and it was after I ate any solids. So wednesday went good then I decided to have some broccoli with dinner Thursday night because the frozen noodle meal I made didn't have enought veggies for me. All was good till a really sharp pain woke me up at 1 am, it hurt sooo bad and kept me up till about 4:30. If I haven't had this problem before I would have for sure went to the emergency room. I stayed away from broccoli again yesterday, but am wondering if it's broccoli or something to do with that bag. I have been eating a bunch of broccoli every day with no problems no all of a sudden everytime I've had stuff from this bag I've been in tons of pain. I'm too scared to try other stuff that's not from that bag right now, but may make an appointment with my gastro doctor.


Yeah the weekend is here. I am still doing great with my eating, despite going out a few times the last couple days. Last night we went out and checked out the fit n fresh menu at Mimi's cafe. My mom had called to ask for a suggestion on where to go, then after I suggested there they asked if we wanted to meet them there. So when we all got there the wait was 40 min. Great we all thought time for a good 20 min walk :o) So we then we headed off and when we got back we only had about a 10 min wait :o) We checked out the menu while waiting and the fit n fresh menu portion has the calories right there on it. My mom had the chicken chibatta sanwitch with fruit, her boyfriend,Tom, had chicken stirfry with veggies and jasmine rice, Trever had steak with veggies and a salad, and I had naken onion soup with a salad, yum yum I also had a slice of carrot raisin bread since my meal was really low in cal. then Tom and I tried the lemon moose , it has about 120 cal. I think it was with fruit on top it was yummy, below is a picture of it. All the food was yummy, unfortunately the service was not very good, but we did have a great dinner. :o)

I'm not sure what this weekend will bring, all I have planned so far is picking up my fruits and veggies from the co op in a little while, yum yum it's kinda like Christmas, what will we get this week :o) I love it !!!!! I think the rest of the weekend may be mostly cleaning and getting rid of some stuff, getting some exercise in, and maybe some down time. Not sure yet. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
