DAY 16

I hope to look like that chick in the near future,
happy, healthy and stoked about working out!!
I weighed in Saturday, after my 2nd week. Julie and I each lost 3 lbs. Total of 10 at the clinic, 11 on my home scale. I wanted to say "Give me a 12 pound weight loss this week or give me a cheeseburger!!!" LOL- hanging in there. I did lose several more inches! My J-Lo booty is also disappearing! Sianara!! Don't come around here No More No More!! I do notice that my mid-section is minimizing quickly! Now, it hurts to give myself the injections in my gut cuz it's not a "great big roll" that I can pinch anymore. I did not feel the sting the first 1.5 weeks! Do now.
I have not really lost any weight on my scale since last Thursday. Need to do some reflection. Hmmm, 1)drink more water 2)set my timer to remind me to eat/snack at about the same times every day. I don't always get to eat dinner around 5pm,get home late,kids,etc...So although I am eating my small portions, sometimes dinner is late. 3) Oh, I am gonna bite the bullet and Excercise. In case you didn't know, I am allergic, but I will have to overcome that. I bought the Wii Fit Plus, but have been enjoying that my kids love it so much. I will go to bed earlier, (NO MORE 11PM!) Wake up earlier and do the cardio on the Wii.
Wish me luck.
I will continue to read my beautiful friend Alaina's blog cuz she Kicked A$$ on this diet!!!!! THANKS ALAINA!!!

Day 12

Well,
my damn "time of the month" arrived. Must be all the hormones all whacked out in my body but I am more sluggish than ever. Even with the Daily B12 supplements.
and for some reason I feel very sad. I used to be able to make myself feel better with food and now I can't do that...
I went up a pound on the scale this am. Weigh in tomorrow.
We shall see what results I get all bloated!! Lol

DAY 10

Down another pound this morning.
Julie and I were discussing how quickly we were able to give up on the soda that we once said (just a couple of weeks ago) would be "Impossible"! I haven't had chocolate cravings, but she says that may come when my "time" arrives.
Damn.But there is this tea that Lynne and her spouse gave us a sample of called "Chocolate Hazelnut decaf tea" made by the "STASH" brand in a copper colored box.
IT'S FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!OMG, I DRINK IT ALL DAY.
Went to Target, and that was the Only flavor sold out!!! But I did find it at Fry's and had to buy two!
It's delicious.

Props

I must give a big "Thank you" to my sweet fiance. He grilled lots of chicken and lean steak for me last night to keep me through the next couple of days. I can't grill. No patience, so I turn up the heat and my meat resembles rubber.
Thank you Cory. Love you.
I felt great about yesterday, so I weighed myself before bed and I had gained two lbs! I blame it on the wet hair since I'd just stepped out of the shower. This morning, I was back down 2 lbs.
Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am doing ok....UNTIL I SAW THE COMMERCIAL FOR "I-HOP ALL YOU CAN EAT PANCAKES ONLY $3.99!" THAT IS MY MOST FAVORITE PLACE FOR PANCAKES IN THE WORLD.
BUT,
"NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS!"

Salsa Chicken

Okay here is another quick and easy recipe:
Salsa Chicken:
Find a salsa ( I found Pace Chunky -all veggies) or make your own (no sugar ect.) and place 4 chicken breast in a plastic storage zip lock bag with 1 -2 cups of salsa and put in the fridge for 2-4 hours or even better overnight.
Take out and Broil or B-que very easy and the chicken turns out with really good flavors and moist!
