Random

Well I havent weighed myself because it was a stressful week at wk...Ive been learing to enter sugerys and Inpts which isnt very hard just time consuming and it doesnt help when the nurses are just giving you more surgerys while your still entering the ones from like an hour ago......ifyour wondering were I work I wk in the TPR unit for Tricare/Healthnet I enter the referrals and send them over to be reviewed by the military but its my responsibility to make sure everything is entered correctly and that the eligibility is up to date and more.......so its a tiny bit stressful when I stress I tend to gain it always happens to me.....not because I over eat but because I forget to eat.......the body naturally thinks your starving so it holds onto everything you have so you dont loose.....you might even gain which I normally do......so Im just eating better (yes I do have my treats!!) but we went to eat yesterday and I had a spinach salad with bell peppers and mushroms and chicken it was ok....but I did hold back on ordering a not so healthy food............burgers!! haha I did have a little bit of the grls fries to kill my urge it wked and my hubby made sure I didnt over do it he told me to stop no more .......I asked him to help me control myself because I love me my fries!! hahaha

So I took Akira to get her toes done on Sunday and I did also it was a treat because I dont even go to get them done but shes been asking me to do them but I thought shed love some mommy and daughter time she did she was happy she wasnt aware of what we were doing so it was a surprise =) Gena is still to young for it so I will do her nails at home.........no finger painting just toes Akira eats her nails and Gena well she doesnt but still to young I say.........its been hot lately so it makes a great time for ice cream......my other weakness!!! but I get the sugar free.......still yum but I get one scoop so I just have enough to satisfy me ........well thats it for now I will be posting some pixs soon!!! thanks for reading.

Found some goodies to help me

Ok first I know its easy for some to just eat healthy ALL the time and resist sweets and tempation but for me its not easy I tell myself that I wont have this and that and will keep away from so on.........but its so hard.So I found some alternatives and please dont judge me because even I can say that these arent the best choice but they help me stay clear from the worse things but some things I do eat are just as healthy.....

First of all I found some yummy english muffins for the am they are Thomas light multi-grain they gave 8g of fiber!!! OMG!! they are sooo good!! (and may I add they are only 1pt for me for the whole thing) =) yay...now when I eat lunch which can be anything really....I eat smart ones or lean cuisines which I dont care for the ones that have chicken or meat so its mainly pasta or if I have left overs from dinner.....now I have low sugars at times and ALWAYS crave something sweet after I eat......so I also have 100 calorie hostess cinnamon streusel coffee cakes for three small ones its only 1 pt for me!!

Now I know its not the best ever for the cake but I also do eat fruit all day I have oranges and pears and grapes ....now.........for drinks this is were I feel I will get more gripe on.........I love Red Bull.........but it has to be Sugar free!!! (o pts for the can) I sip it with a straw and it lasts longer for me now I DONT drink it every day but when I cant keep awake I go for it also I need to say I dont really drink soda but I love Coke Zero cherry......yup 0 pts.......its the only one I will drink I already had an ear full from one person I wk with but hey again its once in a while other than that I drink teas I found some yummy ones like Trader Joes carries a Blueberry Green tea and a Pomegrate White tea I do add 1 packet of non-caloric sweetner and its so good also Im in love with the one from Celestial its a Country Peach passion it taste like candy to me =)


I know you think I need more water right? well I drink lots of it!! I put the Crystal light in it!!! it adds more flavor Im also munching on almonds but not alot because I DO have high cholesterol so I have to limit myself to much isnt good for me.......so far these things help me.......I do get calcium which I know I need from yogurt but Im not a big milk drinker I know Iris it helps Im trying!! ok so far this is what I eat to help me keep me away from sweets I did weigh in at home from my scale it says I lost 1.6lbs =) but yet it reads differnt from when I went to the meeting but Im not doing the meetings anymore I will weigh in at home in the morning every saturday and go from there thanks for reading!!

Choices

Well I have decided to stick to what Im doing....but........I also decided that my goal to be 125lbs isnt going to happen why? well I have 2 kids and Im pretty busy and for me to be that weight means completly focusing on just wking out alot and being sooooooooo detailed on how I eat that it means less time with the kids and Oni and also he made a comment that hit........he thinks Im getting to thin which he doesnt like.My husband has NEVER once made me feel that I needed to loose weight ......it was always me thats never happy on my body so he accepts that I will workout example:instead of sleeping in on the weekend I get up and go wkout which is ok with him....as long as I dont complain Im tired because it was my choice to get up he rather me rest......I took akira with me sunday morning to the golf course its a 4mile trail she took her bike I jogged along which is great because I was trying to stay near her so I HAD to keep jogging!! we did it in 40min!! If I was alone it would take me an hr!! haha we were both sore at the end but she liked it so I told her that I will be taking her wth me on the weekends and during the week if theres time she was happy about that.So now that Im ok with being 130 I just need to loose a couple pounds that seem to love being with me and Im good yes Im still going to be healthy minded and wkout but I think if my husband loves how I look then I should be happy also I dont want to be to thin that hell be disgusted........so toning is still a total must thats all hes tld me to keep doing........I feel less stressed now which is great!! I was putting to much pressure on myself and he thinks thats whats made me gain also weve both watched the Biggest Loser and he told me what Jillian once told a contestant:Stress will make you gain!! stop stressing!! haha so thats what I will do keep wking out and love my body the way it is.....now as for weighing in I think I wont be going in to much anymore I will still do it at home and go once or twice a month but its more pressure going in....if I loose more than what I want to now then its ok also for now I want to be happy and my hubby to be happy and me not stressing and crying (yes Ive cried!!) about my weight will make our lives better thanks for reading!!

Struggles

Ok so today I have a weigh in but Im really hesitant........Ive been doing alot of weights and have been neglecting the cardio I mean I do it but not like I use to my focus is on toning.Im eating good also yesterday I went to the gym after work but I draged myself there.........after I needed to do some grocery shopping for fruit and meat so when I did that I was very very hungry but avoided grabbing any junk.......when I called my husband he mentioned his friend was over so they grabbed a bite so in my mind it meant I didnt have to cook right?? so I wondered ok well what can I eat but then realized nope cant do that I need to cook......I was tempted I mean REALLY tempted to go grab a burger or taco but I know Id feel bad after.........soooooo....I did what a addict does when he needs help controlling his cravings...I called my cousin!! its funny when I say it out loud and my husband agreed its sort of silly but I also know she would make sure I got home with out stopping to grab fast food because one: I hate hate hate ordering food while Im on the phone so I knew I wouldnt dare do that if I was talking so I was happy she answered and kept talking to me she encouraged me and once I got home she even said "Ok are you home now?" lol** I felt like it was a late night and I called someone to keep me awake I sooooo appreciate her help!!As for the weigh in not to sure if I should do more cardio this week and lighter weights with more reps like my cuz is telling me and then be weighed in next week....in other words skip todays weigh in.........? not sure what to do yet I will have to figure it out before 530 tonight.............thanks for reading!!
