ok that didn't work..

so when i tried the dukan diet i pretty much gave up after that day 5.  Feeling like crap on a diet when your life doesn't really allow you to isn't very realistic.  I started a diet back in may.. actually lost ten pounds, but then had seasonal asthma and wound up on steroids and a lot of drugs to control it.  So there went a month at the gym, and in July I had my kids full time for a month so i had no time.  But it's almost August, my life is back to normal and i'm going to try again.  Not dukan, because since that time i've become a full out vegetarian.

I purchased Insanity which is supposed to be a crazy hard 60 day workout.  and i'll be doing my own diet plan of limited carbs (just in the morning), limited fruit and unlimited veggies and protein.  Wish me luck!

Day 5

Not feeling so good today, my energy levels are down so much that I felt woozy just getting out of bed.  So I had an orange juice to get me going.  I'm not sure if I can keep up with this diet if I continue to have such low blood sugar.  I don't think that I'm eating enough.


On a good note, It's my first veggie day!  Hopefully that will make me feel a bit better and get me in the mood to do some exercise! 

day 3

I've lost over a pound in 2 days!  Not sure if its from being sick or if its from the diet, but i'll take it either way!  It's keeping my going...

day 1

I feel like crap... I was supposed to start this yesterday but decided to load up on orange juice instead.. so today is the day.  I have a major cold which is kicking my ass but I can't really let that stop me.. and I figure the extra tea/water I'm drinking because of my cold should help the diet right?


Took a visual picture of my scale time this morning.. oh how I hate that picture.  But everytime I want  chips or whatever goodies are in the kitchen at work, I'll just remind myself of that picture.  Its on my phone, its real. 

I'm so getting some of those vicks kleenex's at lunch time.  :)

2 days before

So i bought my scale.. and sent my boyfriend home and weighed myself.  It said i weighed about 20 pounds less than I do!  awesome.  figured I might want to put it on a hard surface and check again.. damn.  then I had cake.  come on... i have two days left.. who doesn't want cake for dinner??

I guess the reason i'm starting this blog is to keep myself motivated on this journey of loss and to have something that i'm accountable to.  Really is a blog going to keep me honest?  I hope so.

I don't need to lose a lot.. maybe 25 pounds which to some is tons but to other is a drop in the bucket.  I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and to avoid a shelf bum.. which no matter what my boyfriend says  , it's not sexy.  I'm never going to be a size 6.. I've got my curves and I like them.  So to avoid trying to fit into that cookie cutter mold society says I should be, I'm not going to be posting my weight on this blog.. but will post when I lose, things that worked, my chip/cookie/sugar cravings, frustrations and kicking my own ass to get to the gym.  I'm not doing this for anyone but me, and because of that i'm excited.

Now.. I have two days before I do this thing.. where are those cookies at??
