My Journey from 195 -165LB

Your food sounds yummy! Great job on the water and exercise. I need to work harder on both of those things. It's finally warming up here though, so I'm hoping to get Chef and the kids to go on some walks soon. We have to get out and enjoy the weather, after the winter that seemed like it was never going to end. lol.
 
Thank you Jen

It is finally warming up here too! About time! Ok so today was busy! I had to drive my daughter to school, then drive down to my moms and pick up my son, put diner in the slow cooker clean up the house go to the park cause it is too nice to remain inside! It is two and I am finally sitting down for lunch! I am starving!

I waited to long for lunch and I was starving!!! so the salad alone didn't cut it and the snack cakes my hubby buys for work where calling my name!!!!! I was able to resist that and the pop tarts, and went for a banana and some peanut butter,,,,my peanut butter isn't the natural kind I measured out 1/2 TBSP and I spread it on my banana ! Yummy! a little extra calories but still in measured doses not to bad!!!

don't know yiet Friday is usually my cheat day we order in but I am not sure I want to do it! But at the same time a break from cooking would be nice so I could get more work done.....I have the whole day to firgure it out....if it was just me I would toss lettuce vegies and chickpeas in a bowl and call it dinner but not sure the kids and hubby will agree with that one lol!SHawarma would be nice but I don't have the time to drive 20 each way to go get it lol! being lazy as it's upside! Maybe a nice Pad thai that I make at home would be nice I love thai food it's spicy and full of vegies what's not to like!
 
Hi Veronique,

You know... I have never had pad thai. I always get Thai red curry shrimp whenever I go to a Thai restaurant. Shawarma is SO good! The spinach strawberry almond salad sounds good too...I think I will try that one.
 
Hey you, you sure did not have a big lunch. (your lunch sounds yummy though). We have tons of strawberries at home right now - went to the strawberry fest!! :)
Curious what you end up getting for dinner!
 
Thank you for stoping by ladies!!!
I ended up having my cheat day on friday! I was outvoted and we ended up having Pizza I always ask for less cheese on mine cause I don't digest it very well I love it but my stomach doesn't agree. I figured thin crust veggies and a little cheese wouldn't be so bad! I had two slices with a salad no fries :) I also added a glass of wine cause really that goes so well together!

Ok so I have been meaning to take my measurments for the last month or so here it goes!

writst :6.5 L 6.5 R

arms under the shoulder 15.5L 15.5 R

Neck 15.3

bust 44

under bust 37

waist 34

hips 48.2

tights 26 L 27R


legs 17.5 L 17.5 R

ankles 9L 9R

I plan do take these measures again in June
 
Taking measurements is a good idea - most of the time a better indicator of losing weight than the scale - I have been planning to do that forever - I keep postponing it - kudos to you for doing it!
 
Hey Justina! I think taking the measurments gave me an idea of wich area of my body needs more work! Too bad there is no work out to shrink the bust lol!!! If weight loss doesnt work on that front surgery it will be...I am really hoping the weight loss will work, I want to really enjoye running but being chesty make is very painful to work out! TMI sorry people!

Well people I got an extention on the contract I am working thank god cause my computer didn't work really well had to get it fixed and that took time and even if they say 40hrs I am gonna be putting more then that. I still must get it done! Other then that big news......my hubby and I are looking at a house....it's an old house 80 years or more but the inside has been redone and the window replaced and doors and roof and along the way an extension was built, it has a big yard, fenced in, and we would pay around the same thing that we pay in rent if you count the mortgage and taxes we have to see about insurance and how it is heated and what the cost are! It is stressful but in a good way I hope this work so tired of renting my landlord is such an ass, we rented the place 4 years ago and he raised the rent way more then he supposed to and when something break he wants to fix it himself but doesn't really know how so he swears loudly , my dishwasher is broken he says he doesn't want to put any money in it, Well when we rented the place the agreement was we pay rent each month he pays for services the rent includes washer and dryer hook ups and a dishwasher. He just pisses me off and I can't complain cause he is my sister's father in law....so are starting to see that we need to move forward with the house buying, things will be tight but the house is located close to stores and stuff so we will be able to walk to do groceries and I know a few people in town that walk at night so when the hubby is off I can join them also the roads are more kid friendly alot of pluses to moving there!!! Wow I know this is suppose to be a weight loss diary but all those changes do affect in some way or another the weight loss The menu changed yesterday

breakfast and lunch stayed the same

supper was soup again and then pop corn and a ice cream sandwich later on :( that is what happens when you skip proteins for two meals)

today

breakfast
coffee (almost had pop tarts but they burned in the toaster...thank you toaster for keeping me on track!

Lunch
egg cheese and lettuce on whole wheat (not the best choice not the worst
side of carrot stick
Orange Water ( orange slices, ice , filtered water)

diner
cauliflower carrot ginger soup ( if it is still hot out I may freeze the soup and have a salad instead)
4oz of chicken

as far as exercise my baby boy and I went out to kick a soccer ball around he loves to see mommy run so he was kicking the ball all over the place! I got myself a junior personal trainer ;)
 
Hey Vero - that's exciting news about the house!!! I can't wait until we have our own place! I hope it works out well for you!

As for the problem with running - I have the exact same problem..!! No running for me either - hence all the exercise I choose is stationary: machines, elliptical, toning, weights etc...
 
I hope the house thing works out for you. I would love to have my own house. We'll probably be renting for a few more years though. Someday though...someday!

Click to expand...

My chest is probably half the size it was. I'm the opposite though, I really would of like to keep mine. lol!
 
Thank you Ladies!!

I am just stoping on here quickly....I am trying to complete this contract on time so I don't have much in the way of free time!
weighted in last week back up to 195.6 hoping it is water weight with the heaat ans humidity being back my wedding bands felt tight so hoping to have this improved by next weight in.....had a good weekend foodwise and did some biking around town I have to back to work but will get a chance to catch up on diaries Tommorow!
 
Will take a few min to pop on here have a few things to do catch up on my house work that has been widely neglected! So today was a bad day.....I ate junk and only junk I am short on time and very angry wich always ends up with me eating tons and tons of junk! got to get this under controle......we just received the insurance check for items my hubby lost in the fire at his work place the amount they gave us to cover the winter coat, boots, wallet and id, remote car starter and keys, wedding band, is rediculus.
50$ was given to people who lost jewlery any kind of jewlery my hubby wedding band did come out of a gumball machine it is worth like 900$ and it matches mine...so pissed off! Then they told me they use logic what ever! will be back on here when I am in a better frame of mind!
 
Ouch...you gotta love that insurance...they sound very fair..NOT.
I hope you feel better soon. hugs
 
Hey Forum friends!

I have been away awhile, I have been kind of staying on track but not as good as the previous week...just goes to show how writing and planning what you eat goes a long way! Time for updates I posted my issues with the insurance on my Facebook and received lots of comments, the company my hubby works for didn't like the negative publicity so they called me to ask to send a proof of the worth of the ring and proof we owned that exact one, so hopefully something good will come out of that! As for the house plan is going on the back burner, that house we could afford on one salary but a support beam needs to be replace the whole house looked like it was sinking towards the middle and that ain't cheap to do especially in a crawl scpace so we are stuck in the crappy house with no private yard again for another year. Aside from that nothing new on the job front .....I am begining to get depressed last year at this time I had a job that I did very well, and I amde 20$ an hour wich was great, then everyone came back from sick leave and I was out,,,,,I tried applying for other jobs in differents schools but on of the women who was on sick leave is blacklisting me big time just cause I was friends with someone she didn't like, I hate poeole like that , I tried to make a complaint with the union but since we are both in the same union I can't make a formal complain so really why the hell to I pay them each month. I don't get why union exists it doesnt protect it's members really it protect the people who call in sick to go camping it makes sure that even if you those who are always behind on their work or don't have the experience for a position get the job it's stupid....but they do pay well, now I will have to get a job for min wage or 11 bucks an hour that will barely cover child care so rediculus! I am not in the greatest frame of mind right now I am just pissed off all the time I either want to eat all the food insight or I just don't eat for a couple days I hate feeling that way, I feel traped nothing is moving forward, I had a job that I hated for 7 years but it was a steady pay check why did I leave, I shouldn't have I gamble and it ended badly for me now I have to start over again! Like I said it is frustrading. Even if the contract I had reopens there is no point in applying cause the new principale told me that since my father in law is the janitor there she can't hire me,,,,he works for a different board and is part of a different union I don't see where the trouble is , he works for the campus and I for Admin I hardly see him, it mostly cause of that bitch who should have stayed on sick leave said about me,....she didn't like that I don't play her games, and that I am friends with the women who replaced her. Because of her and the fact that she blacklisted me we are barely gonna be able to eat 3 meals a day next year cause I will have to travel out of town 2 hours each day just to find a job I am so angry....women if I have case for harasment, she even complained that I was stalking her, I walk infront of her house everynight.....welll she lives by the only park in town I have kids,,,,I don't even know wich house is hers, don't care to know either..I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday I am gonna try to workout some of my aggression this afternoon when my son is napping....I hate feeling like this I am not normally so angry I am a go with the flow kind a person, usually get along with most people, I have no respect for trouble makers, they suck the energy out of people around them.....With all the talks about bullying in schools, the bullys from the 1970,s 80,s are now in workplaces and they still are just that bullys I have to move forward and let it got but being at home and not being to find a job that is much above half the pay I used to make sucks, I am stuck at home all day can't really go anywhere cause people I know are working or too far I have to drive my daughter to school and from school and I have my son with me and I wan't made to be an at home mom, love my kids but they are driving me nuts! I need grown ups! Sorry for the rants I just needed it out, I will be back on tommorow with a menu!
 
Woah! Sounds like your having a really tough time!
Just keep in mind, if you pay a bully any attention, they are getting what they want. ;)

Otherwise, don't let it get to you. I know right now probably stinks and things seem like they are in the dumps, but know that things will get better with time and in the future you will look back on this and smile.

And keep at it with the workout! It will help with all the stress.
