It dawned on me.....

Oh just thinking about your poor mouth makes me cringe. I hope you are feeling better. For soft food I love cassaroles. Since they bake for a long time usually they are super soft, and if you use ground beef you don't really have to worry about knawing on anything. I hope your sockets close soon.
 
I am so scared to eat anything right now, I bought some potato soup and I am just looking at it thinking I can't chew this lol, its potato right...hahahaha ok I am going to try a casserole this weekend Iwan, thanks for visiting my diary, you guys are the greatest!!!! Well I have some Live Water (Sobe) man it is good, I mean this taste like a full meal lol....I guess I will read the word of God and get full, he can do it!!! Holla at your girl
 
Hey!!! just wanted to come drop a line or two. Well due to my oral surgery the scale is consistantly going down!!!! I mean, I think it is a lot of water weight, but still, I feel better b/c its within my goals!!!! I love me right now, I am focused and I have high expectations for myself. I know that God is proud of me, b/c finally I am doing it his way. My husband took me to see a live band last night at this restaurant/bar/club last night and I had a blast, but that's just the begining, my friend bought me some jeans for Christmas b/c she knew the lifestyle I am trying to live she bought them a size smaller and last night I got in them!!!! My husband was like "Baby that booty is looking right in those jeans", I was like Yeahhhhhhhhh!!!! That made me feel even better about where I am right now in life....my motto is, "Live,Love,Laugh" (alot)
 
What a meal

Well I finally got to eat a meal!!!!! I had a cheese omlete, grits and toast today and I felt like I had seen a piece of heaven:p I can't write long, but I am down to 230lbs and this is motivation to see the scale going down. Today we went to the zoo and i must have walked three mi's and then we went to the mall and I must have walked another 2 mi's.....but then the question came from my 6yr old...."Mama why you shaking like that?" I said what are you talking about, he pointed at my butt and said, your booty is shaking alot when you walk......boy, its so easy for the positive to be diluted when the physical appearance has not yet caught up with the mental. I feel good, but my body is still flabby.....one day I will look back on this thread and think I have come a long way!!!:rolleyes:
 
Well I go to the oral surgeon today for my last visit then I am off to my general dentist to get fitted for bridge work and other cosmetic tips. I had yogurt this morning with some granola in it. Pretty darn good!!! I had 4 chicken vienna rolls and 2 square low fat/cal gram crackers. I am sipping on some of those crystal light packs (rasberry and peach are my favorite) And of course I have my 1/2 gallon of water starring at me, determined to finish (not that hard though) I hope to start back walking tonight. I will see what the dr. says. I'll holla back
 
I hope everything will go ok with the dentist!

Yes, one day we will all look back at our diaries and smile at our own difficult moments...

God bless you!
 
Shewww.....now that's what I am talking about. Last night it felt like I was in the Bahammas , the weather here in Texas felt unbelievably good!!! The kids and I went out for an afternoon stroll. I walked 2mi's last night and got up this morning about 5am and walked another 3mi's. I thank God that he has allowed me to see this day when I want to workout, he's given me hope. I know now that this is a journey and on this journey I will encounter some hard days. Life is about choices and I am learning that all of my choices don't feel good to my flesh but it feeds my spirit and this brings me joy about my decisions....now thats new beginings talk there!!! Holla back
 
Oh Venice girl, what's up with you....everything went well yesterday at the dentist. My sockets are healing just fine. I hope you are still on the battlefield of weightloss with me, I am going to come by your diary to check on you, ok
 
Breakfast

1 broiled egg (egg whites only) I heard this is the healthy part
1 piece of wheat high fiber toast (sugar free strawberry jam)
1 piece of canalope (sqaure sized)
1 piece of pineapple ("" "" "" )
(unrefined sea salt used)

Ok, now that I got that out of the way!! I noticed that I have a problem with a few things...I love sweets, I had to have it in everything I ate. I converted over to splenda totally b/c I know this could pose a problem and my weight loss success.

If you guys have any suggestions in weaning myself off of the sugary stuff. Any substitutes, like vegetables, fruits that helped you get over the sugar hump. Please help a sista out:confused:
 
I've never been a sugar junkie so i can't quite relate - I do love m e some cantaloupe becauase it is soooo sweet (least cantaloupe in summertime - not sure about this timee of year)

Cinnamon might be a substitute - orother spices...
 
It's very difficult to renounce to sugars, but with time you'll see it becomes easier. Anyway, don't renounce to everything you like, just eat it in little quantities.

I'm still with you in this weight loss journey! I've lost another kg! :D
 
Awesome Venice girl, I admire your consistancy on the forum and weightloss. You are such an inspiration!! Hang in there, I will be by your diary soon
 
New me!!

Something has changed about me, its different this time...I can't put my finger on it but I would not change how I feel right now for nothing. I am down to 230lbs, the scale has stayed the same for the past week but my clothes have not. I can fit into two pairs of slacks that I have not been able to wear in about a year. Needless to say, I have worn those slacks matter of fact I have a pair on now, hold up, here's the best part the ones today are white......hehehehe Thank you Jesus, Thank you God for being faithful to me and giving me the strength to do this.

I did not work out yesterday:eek: , but I plan to give this body a good conditioning today though.

I have been on antiboitics for the last 2wks for my teeth, I take the last one today, thank goodness. I don't know if I have metioned this but this year I am taking better care of myself. My two big toes have been discolored for years and this year I have finally declared this is enough. I prayed and asked God to manifest my healing b/c I want total restoration!!!!

Its all good!!! I got that new Kirk Franklin Cd and it is awesome!!

Breakfast:
South beach diet cinnamon raisin protein bar
9 crackers
8 hot pork skins
*what is this???this is not breakfast, I have been bam-boo-sald***
(I can do better than this, and I will):mad:

Well I will go now, holla back
 
Hi Lovinme! Congrats on fitting the slacks! You're doing great! I hope your teeth are ok.
have a great friday night!
 
Ready, Set, Gym

Ok, I did it!!!! I joined the gym....I feel so good about this decision. Let me tell you how this came about...I was about to go walking at the track and this cloud and thunder came rushing through...I was like wait a minute I missed working out yesterday, I am not about to do this again. Then I thought about my hair do I just got and I said shew'd I am not about to get this wet....Then that's when it hit me. I have to sacrifice something, so I said I will just have to get something convenient, being that I have two children....24hr fitness was calling my name. I am so glad I made this step.

Well the next step is to get there and work out. I am waiting on my husband to get back and I will be off to the gym....don't wait up on me:cool:

Ok, how about I just made it back in from the gym.....I did 30mins on the elliptical, 10mins inclined fast paced walking, 10 biking...OHHHH the smell right now..lol Well I am about to shower and hit the sacks, no I lie I am about to load some before pics on my journal, holla back
 
30 minutes on the elliptical? You're great, I usually give up after 15!

Congrats on the gym membership, I know it's hard to leave the couch and go there but it's worth it!
 
Girl that elliptical is no joke. I did another 30mins tonigh same routine as previously stated except I added weights tonight. Thank you God for giving me the strength to make it through tonight. I really didn't want to go. My husband came home and was looking all good and stuff, I just wanted to stay in his arms but yet another sacrifice to get where I am going. Endurance, long suffering, patience.....some of the fruits of the spirit I am practicing :) Well i checked my weight tonight and it showed 228, I am kind of flucuating though, but somewhere in there I think I have lost another lb. God is good!!! Well I guess I will go and get in my husbands arms....holla back
