Well today was the last day of the weekend and I am SO Glad! This weekend was a hard weekend to be starting a life changing way of eating. Today our family went to a birthday party. Yes there was cake and I did not eat any!! Instead I brought a Slim Genics chocolate bar so that I could have a little treat myself. Today was also a difficult day because my family woke up late so my eating times were not normal.
For dinner tonight we ate grilled salmon. Now for those of you who know me well you may remember I don't eat sea food or fish. And this weekend I ate shrimp and Salmon. I guess I am making lots of life changes.
I am going to be going into Slim Genics tomorrow to be weighed in and to go over my plan for the next couple of days. If I stay on plan I should be at my goal weight by Christmas!!

Tonight we went to our friends house for dinner. It was a sea food boil. I knew ahead of time what we were having. And I knew that the seasoning that was used with the sea food boil was going to be high in salt. So I made sure to not have any other salt today. There was all kinds of veggies in the boil. Most of the veggies I could not eat so I asked if they could add a few that I could eat. I ate shrimp, brussel sprouts, and zucchini. Tomorrow we are going to be heading to a birthday party. Why is it that the weekend I get started on my new beginning we have so much going on to make it harder to stick to my food plan? Oh well it is going well and I am feeling great!

Yesterday was a great day! I went to Slim Genics in the morning for my daily weigh in. I have lost a total of 5 lbs. in 4 days! And I feel great. Yesterday I noticed that my hunger cues have returned. Before I started this program I would skip breakfast and not eat until lunch. Some days I would not eat lunch until 1 or later. Then I would have dinner late in the evening. For many reasons this was very unhealthy. Now with in an hour of waking up I am hungry. After breakfast I am hungry every three hours or so.
Yesterday was my first day on my plan. I was very excited to be able to eat fruits and COOKED veggies. As well as to try my snacks. OHHHHH YUMMY!!! The snacks are AWESOME! I have always been very leery of how things taste especially “diet foods”; but Slim Genics has somehow not taken the flavor out of the food. I had the double chocolate bar yesterday for snack and at first bite I felt that I was cheating on myself.
Last night Heath and I went over to our friends, Megan and Brady’s. We had dinner and spent the night. I made sure that I packed my food for breakfast and brought my own salt and seasonings as well as my food scale. Because I have been honest with them they were very accommodating. We stuck to my plan. Later in the evening the guys decided to pop pop-corn, but I had decided to save my orange until later in the evening so I was able to have a little snack myself when they were snacking. (I did allow myself 3 pieces of the pop-corn just so I didn’t feel left out, and it worked; so much for my new policy of “if it is not on paper it does not go into my mouth”)
Tonight we are going over to another friends house for dinner. This will be a little more tricky then just bringing over my own food or having them stick to my food plan, so I did a little modification on my lunch and snack for today. I am still going to stick to my food plan journal as closely as I can.
Tomorrow we have a birthday party. My plan is to eat lunch before we go there and to bring a Slim Genics bar with me so that I can have something sweet to eat while the kids are devouring the cake.

238.5 lbs.
Yesterday was a difficult day. My tummy did start to feel better but I was still tiered for most of the day. I laid down after student clinic and kind of fell asleep. It was also very hard to eat my raw veggies, but I did do it.
I have noticed that I am getting the “hungry feeling” at the right times of day. Meaning every 3 hours or so. I have also realized that a lot of my “food cravings” that I did have before were not really “food cravings”. I noticed in the last couple of days that when I see foods that I would normally think of often ie. Mcdonalds fries, peanut butter M&M’s, ect. I really do not “NEED” to eat them. Before I would just sit and think about them until I put them into my mouth. But for the last couple of days I think “hmmm that is why I am the way I am” and I put them down and walk away. I also remind myself that one day, when I have lost ALL my excess weight I will be able to have them every once and awhile.
So now this morning as I sit and write I am starting my new Phase of the program. I am eating for breakfast, Greek Yogurt, with Blueberries mashed into it, and a rice cake. Wow the Greek yogurt is very bitter. But I found that the longer it sits with the blueberries in it the less bitter it tastes. Or maybe I am just getting use to the taste. I also am dipping my rice cake into the yogurt so that it adds a little flavor to it.
Today I have student clinic again up at school. Before I started breakfast today I put together my meals for the day, except for dinner. I think that this will make it much easier to stick to the plan!
I am not sure if I said this earlier on but I decided that I am going to start a Food Plan Journal. I was watching the news the other day and they were doing a story about a women who lost 200 lbs. One thing that she said that really stuck out in my mind was “I write EVERYTHING down BEFORE I eat it. If it is not on paper it does not go into my mouth.” I have decided to adopt this policy. A few days ago I sat down and made a schedule for three days. It took me about two hours to do. But what I did was wrote out what I was going to eat at each meal. I also made sure to write down the measurements of each thing I could have. That way when I prepping in the morning I am not having to look things up. I made sure that dinners would be something that we can eat together as a family, because the last thing that I want is to be making two meals for dinner. (well have heath make two meals)
Well I have to run and get ready for school. But this feels good.... I don’t really want to stop writing. I think that I am going to look into to starting a blog. :)

I am a little bummed today. I wonder why I did not loss any thing. Oh well I will not give up. After all it is only day three. I am so glad that today is the last day of my prep phase! Yesterday it was not easy to eat raw green veggies.
I have Student clinic today and my tummy does not feel great. I have pooped a lot in the last few days and woke up today feeling very bloated and gassy. I hope my tummy feels better soon. I am also really tiered this morning. I will have to drink the thermo boost fast.

I think my scale is broken :) I did not sleep great last night. I got up four times to pee. I guess that is because I hardly went yesterday. I also had a hard time falling asleep last night. I think it was dew to the thermo- boost. Today I will work on getting them both in by 3pm at the latest.
NO MY SCALE IS NOT BROKEN!!!! I went in this morning to meet with the gals at Slim Genics and I have lost 3.5 lbs!!! (and that was after I had eaten my 2 eggs for breakfast) If I keep seeing results like this I am going to be skinny in no time! I picked up some more of the thermo- boost drink in different flavors. I am excited to try them!
When I went into to meet with “the Gals” I got some good tips on how to get my raw veggies in today. I am going to use leaves of lettuce as a wrap around my chicken and my steak. I am grilling steak today with Chipolta Mrs Dash on it. I also talked to them about my salt intake, I found it hard yesterday to get in the 1/2 tsp. salt. I thought that I would try 1/4 tsp today. However, I had some slight leg cramps this morning when I woke up so they said for sure squeeze in the full 1/2 tsp. As far as the peeing all night... They recommended that I put a lemon in my water. I guess that will help to flush all the water out. I decided to try a few drops of Lemon Essential Oils in my water. It was very refreshing and worked like a charm. With in 1/2 hr I had to pee and have been peeing consistently ever sense. I also picked up some fat free Western dressing to dip my veggies in. This should help with the veggie intake. I still can not believe that I lost 3.5 lbs! I really want to tell every one that I see, but I will refrain.
The steak with Chipolta on it was very yummy!! Had a little kick to it. 1/4 tsp salt down 1/4 tsp to go.
I am so excited!! I just fond out that one of my friends has a daughter that is doing Slim Genics. Just a few weeks ago I had commented on how skinny she had gotten! This just confirms my decision more! I can not wait until my friends are doing double takes when they see me!
I got though my day. Lots of raw green veggies lots of water and meat. I also sat down and worked on my menu for Friday Saturday and Sunday. I will work on more days tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I have student clinic all day on Thursday and Friday so this should be interesting. I hope that I am not pooping as much. And I hope that people don’t mind me chomping on raw greens like a cow. ;)

This is the first day of my new beginnings. I have made the decision to loss weight. My goal is to loss just under 100lbs. The reasons that I have made this decision are many. #1 I want to be a better mom and wife. #2 I want to have an abundance of energy. #3 I want to fit into a size 8 jean. #4 I want to fit into my wedding ring again. #5 I want to gain confidence in myself. #6 I want to learn to eat food because it will fuel my body not because I “Feel like it” #7 I want to be healthier. #8 I want my family to be healthier #9 I want to teach my children good eating habits. #10 I want to enjoy spending time with my family doing things like, Walking, biking, hiking, etc. #11 I want to look down and see my feet not a fat tire around my waist!
At first I did not want to share my decision with anyone but Heath. The reason was I did not want to fail and disappoint anyone. I quickly realized that this idea was a cop-out. I need the people closest to me to know what it is that I am doing, so that they can come along side me and pray for me as I take this journey. I also need to have the idea that if I give up I will not only disappoint myself but I will disappoint others around me. I know that I am losing this extra 100 lbs that I am caring around, for myself. But why is it that it is ok for us to let ourselves down but not others. So I am going to tell everyone that I feel I should tell, so that it will always be in the back of my mind that I do not want to let down those around me as well as myself. Maybe my attitude will change as I get more into my program but for now this is what I am going with.
I was very excited to start my first day. I woke up and started my day by drinking water, taking my vitamins and eating two hard boiled eggs and half of an orange. The rest of the day I snacked on raw green bean, raw broccoli raw cucumbers and a rotisserie chicken and finished my orange. I drank just over 84 oz of water 33.8 of it was the thermo-boost drink packs. LOVE them!!! They taste good and gave the water a little edge. They also have caffeine in them so I don’t feel like I have to have a Dr Pepper to get my caffeine.
Today I felt full of energy! I did not at ANYtime feel the need to take a nap!!!! And I had no desire to drink any of the Dr Pepper that was in my fridge!!
Toward the end of the day I am feeling blotted and full of gas. I am having a few cramps here and there. I am not looking forward to eating raw green veggies tomorrow! And I will NOT be eating the rest of the rotisserie chicken. I did not pee much today so I am sure that it will hit me while I am sleeping. I did have BM this evening but that did not take away the yucky feeling in my stomach. Well tomorrow is day 2 and I have only 2 days left of prep phase!! I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!!!!
