Miss Ladybugs Diary

Kim, fried food TOTALLY messes me up now. I've only had it once in the past 4 months, and my stomach was in knots for 4 days. I think once you start eating healthy, stuff like transfats go down like the poisons they are.
 
Hi Kim; I just read the first 3 and the last 3 pages of your journal and the first thing I have to tell you is...I have 18 year old twin boys! We are instantly bonded on that one. I really enjoyed reading your commitment to exercise and eating healthy, including your leaving mashed potatoes on the plate! With your determination and consistency...the sky's the limit. One day at a time, you're going to make it all the way.

WOW, thanks skinny for stopping in. I can't believe I have finally met someone who has twin boys and not only that but they are older than 5, it seems whenever I run into someone with twins lately, they all seem to be babies or toddlers. HHAHAHAHA My boys and I have always been really close, until maybe the last year 1/2, one of them is so like me and we butt heads constantly, but he's also the social one and the one with a ton of friends, everybody loves Jim and his teachers think the world of him. So why do they change when they get home from school. HAHAHAHA thanks for stopping by I'll go see your post now!!
 
Good Morning Kim!

It is amazing how easy it is to butt heads with the one most like ourselves, isn't it?

You'd THINK it should be easier!
Hope you have a good weekend!

I decided to celebrate early and I had a fajita for lunch today, Just strickly a small flour tortilla, grilled chicken, onions, peppers, NO guac or sour cream, I won't touch the stuff anymore and I hate the diet form of sour cream, it's not the same, but I indulged and had about 10 chips & some salsa. A HUGE glass of water, with lemon wedge of course. HAHAHA Enjoy your weekend Beth :)

Sexy, you crack my ass up!!! I remember when my twins were 5 I would take them every Friday after work for a Mc Happy Meal, oh those kids new that menu backwards. HAHAHAH. THe only saving grace for us we moved out to the country and we were to far to drive to any fast food, and also if we got it before we went home, by the time we got home it would be cold, and fries are just nasty when they are cold. YUK!! Well, you thought I DIDN'T eat the green beans, ARE YOU NUTS!! Those were the first Item I ate. HAHAHAHAH I left the mashed potatoes there, and ate my chicken. I LOVE VEGGIES every kind there is. And corn is my favorite. I grew up on Brussel sprouts remember those?? I had tripe at my aunts one time, I didn't care to much for it, but we ate it anyways. I've never had Ox Tail, now that's a new one for me. Okra yummy, liver as long as it's made with a good gravy and onions, OH YEAH!! I don't think I could it it dry. oooohhhhh Talk to later girl!! thanks for stopping by.

And you commend me for good will power!!! You have AMAZING will power!

I feel you on the fried foods--also they have an oxidizing effect on your cells. Just all bad. Too bad they taste good...
 
Okay, here is my menu for the day, GRANTED I rarely eat these items, and I go out for lunch maybe 2 times a month. And I usually go for the PLAIN oatmeal packets, but we were out this morning and my husbands was all we had and he always gets the brown sugar for himself. Oh well, it's still not bad. And.. I'll be going to groove tonight and I'm doing weights, I should burn about 300-400 calories NO PROBLEM. I'm going to eat really light tonight, I"m still real full from lunch, and I brought half of it back with me, I'll save it for tomorrows lunch. Now granted the items you see below I got off a weight calculator, I didn't use these EXACT brands or Measurments, most were a lot less, but they put these as their minimum serving size, so I had no choice. But, it's close. Everyone enjoy the rest of our Friday!! KIm OH and I drank about 50 oz of water, so far.

Hi Kim!

Just stopped by your diary for the first time, wow it's got long in a month! It's addictive isn't it, this forum, but what a great thing to be addicted to!

Your wilpower is indeed impressive.

Thanks Beth!! I'm hoping the class gets easier, my body is in shock. HAHAHA:D

I feel ya on this one, I am CRAZY achy from yesterdays workout :rolleyes:
 
Thanks Kezzypear!! It is crazy addictive. But I'm loving it, I think I love giving the support more than anything. I have a passion to help people, I think it has always been a calling for me. I try really hard for myself. When I stick to a goal or have my mind set on something I usually meet or exceed it. It's one good trait I got from my mom. :) One thing is for sure, it's so hard getting into everyone's diary, I just don't have enough time in the day. But, my goal was to add at least one new diary a week, so I'm going to try that and see if I can keep up. I'm so happy you stopped by, I look forward to peeking into your diary as well. ;)
 
Hi MissLadybug

Great job on all of your discipline. It's cool to see, and it's great that you're able to eat as healthily as you do, even when your family indulges around you. That's always my downfall.

You do offer wonderful support! I'm really happy you took the time to stop in my diary ;) Thanks again.

Hope you have a beautiful evening.
 
This forum is so addictive! Actually my bf literally says "you're addicted to that site" lol! I just tell him he's addicted to his games :p lol. Anyways, I find most of my cals are also at supper and I'm hoping that once I get a better handle on eating the right things, I'll try to even the cals out throughout the day instead of a big chunk at night. I don't know if that'll really make a difference though. Who knows!

Anyways, I hope you have a great weekend!
 
hey sweety :) just came to say hi. i've been MIA lately because of work, but i'll catch up hopefully this weekend.
i am also addicted to this site, well its helping me so much i don't mind the addiction lol.
hope you're doing great. a hug to you and your family

Hi, Kim. Your sons are lucky to have you as a mom. I bet you're a great mom. Have a terrific weekend!

Kim

Oh the fries are so gross but when i was pregnant i craved them fries cold or warm.. Ox tail tastes like a really soft roast beef but even better as long as u get it cooked right in the right flavors.. Ohhhh my daughter loves artichokes and when she was about 4 she would ask if i could make baby artichokes (brussle sprouts)... To her shock, it wasnt the same but she ate em anyways.. A steamed artichoke sounds good right about now.. Tripe is only good on tacos for me personally, my husband is mexican, tall white blue eyed mexican lolol.. So i do tripe tacos, very high in iron.. I have been tricked in to eating brains and tongue, both are like a brunswager (sp?) dont care for any of them.. But i can eat the hell out of some cow stomach soup as long as its cooked right and the stuff in the can sucks balls but its alright as long as u add the pico de gallo and limes.. ;) have a good day.. These kids want all my attention this morning..
 
Today started off pretty strange, I woke myself up from a bad dream I was having about my hubby's dog, apparently in my dream he fell down a well, and I some how jumped in to save him, but I made it to the bottom without a scratch or broken bone and that was miraculous considering this was a long ways down. Well, to make a long story short, I picked him up and as he layed in my arms he passed away, I was balling, I woke up crying my eyes out. Why in the world would I have such a dream. I haven't had a bad dream in years!! Most my dreams "honestly" are about love and sex, which I'm sure is TMI, right? Well, it was weird, because I tried to fall back to sleep and I did for about 20 minutes, then my hubby came in and woke me up again and said, would you like to go to breakfast with me this morning, and of course I wouldn't turn that down, I love going places with him, we are very close. Well, I got up and told him about my dream, and started crying about that damn thing again, and he tried to comfort me, I felt like an idiot, the dog is in the back yard eating a chewy and as happy as can be. And as healthy as can be too. After all that nonsense, we headed into town, remember we live 20 miles out of town in the country so it takes awhile to get anywhere. I wanted to go to this place called "Pioneer Pies" no it's not a place that just sells pies, it's a restaurant also. They have the BEST waffles and FRESH FRUIT, I always pick the strawberries and they come out so huge and so sweet, and none of that jelly crap that those other places serve you like IHOP. These are just fresh berries and if you want they can bring you out a small bowl of fresh whipped cream, which I wasn't going to take. I just wanted the waffle and strawberries and fresh coffee of course. Well, when we drove up I think practically the entire town was there, I just was not happy. We ended up going to this diner that our friends had recommended a few days back, and well, it SUCKED! I had a very hard time choosing healthy off their menu, and the coffee was terrible and I was miserable. I went ahead and ordered 2 eggs, side of wheat toast and some home fries. I did NOT eat the home fries, they were the nastiest ones I've every tasted and half burnt. So I ended up with 2 eggs and a piece of wheat toast. We decided to head over to Sam's Club and stock up on all our weekly groceries, and my stomach was just tore up from those eggs. I thought why did I even eat anything at all. The Sam's Club run went good and we got all the stuff we needed to stock up on. When we got home, I decided to do some yard work. I mowed the back area where our dogs run it's HUGE approx 75X50 it has rained off and on for two weeks, so the grass was so high, it took me forever, I now have a huge blister in the middle of my palm. The rest of our yard, my hubby does on the riding mower and that takes about 2 hours, it's an all day venture out here trust me. We bought some more bird seed, so I filled my feeders, then I picked weeds from my flower beds for about 30 minutes, I came inside it was so hot and humid today. I went directly to the bedroom, stripped down and jumped into a cold shower. It felt GREAT! Then I got out, made some Fresh Tea in the tea maker, and still haven't eaten a thing since breakfast. I just don't feel like it today. I think it might be the heat. Now, I'm checking diary's to see what's going on. Well, I'm done with mine for now, nothing to exciting. I will post more tomorrow if I get the chance. I think I'll grill some chicken tonight and have steamed veggies. Talk to you all later!!! Thanks everyone for stopping by also!! :D
