Day 141,  April 2, 2012

Good morning!  I don’t know about you but I am beginning to think the days are getting shorter and shorter!  I do not have enough time in the day to get everything done that needs to be done.  I had better start my day…

7:45 am:  Time for breakfast.  I’m going to have oatmeal with strawberries and splenda, along with with my cup of coffee and my 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine and a glass of water. 

It’s time for a bike ride and then I have to pick up a few things in town and then it’s back to bake some low protein cookies for my two youngest.  Their diet is so crazy.  They never get to eat what all the other kids do.  They can’t have the cookies, cakes, brownies and so forth unless I take the time out to make then their low protein.  I need another 10 hours in a day just to get enough time to get a handle on their food.  You know how it gets when we have to eat the same thing every day.  I know I do.  It gets old fast.  Unfortunately I cannot go to the store and buy them some goodies, but thank goodness they have the low protein foods out there so I can fix the goodies for them. 

1:00 pm:  Finally going to have a banana and chicken salad with celery along with my water and 1 L-Carnitine.  I have to say I’m getting to where I don’t want the chicken salad if Idon’t have the celery. 

5:00 pm:  I’m having a bowl of vegetable soup.  I’m doing really well with my water intake today.  It does make it easier when I use the straw.  I bought some of that special K protein water so I’ve been drinking that too.  It’s different but it’s pretty good.  I took my L-Carnitine and now it’s time for me to go for my walk.  I have to get down so I can wear my bathing suit during our vacation in June.  I will so do this!

8:45 pm:  Time for my Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International with 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I was 1.5 glasses shy of a gallon of water.  I have no idea why I don’t stay busy and drink my water.  It makes me feel a lot better.  Why do we do that kind of thing to ourselves?  Is it because we are hormonal woman or just plain stupid?  The world may never know…

P.S.  Good night and sweet dreams…..

Day 142, April 3, 2012

Good morning!  I am not planning on doing a whole lot today.  I’m going to have my breakfast then watch a little bit of television then I’m laying out.  I’ve earned it after everything I’ve been doing and all of the working.  Ugh!  Why can’t we all just be independently wealthy?  LOL!

7:45 am:  I’m going to have a protein bar with my 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and L-Carnitine.  I’ve got my cup of coffee and my glass of water and now it’s time for some chillaxin!

11:30 pm:  I’m going to have yet another bowl of my vegetable soup.  Have I mentioned that I put Cabbage in there along with a whole lot of other veggies and I’ve been eating a whole lot of it.  LOL!  My husband told me to throw the rest out.  I have a problem with the economy the way it is just throwing the food out.  So, instead, I just froze the rest.  I took my L-Carnitine with my glass of water and now it’s time for me to go and lay out.  I need to work on my tan lines.  I have decided to declare this “Laura Day”.  It’s tough but someone has to do it.  LOL! 

3:00 pm:  Ok I have to tell you something that is funny now that I can look back on it.  It was so not funny when it happened.  All right ladies, I was out on my back deck working on no tan lines when I hear a noise.  I had completely forgotten today was the day the Swan Man came.  My windows were open and my ipod was playing and I had my lounge chair right in front of the screen door.  I jumped up and slammed the door and hid in the bathroom until he left.  I was mortified!  I mean come on let’s face it.  We don’t want anyone to see us in our swim suit until we feel like we look good.  AND we sure as hell don’t want anyone to see us in our no suit until we KNOW we look good!  Geesh!  I need to lead a less exciting life for sure!  I can see it now, “Juvenile Detention Worker arrested for melting the Schwan’s ice cream!”  (You know from the burning humiliation!)

I got a lot done after my almost heart attack.  I mowed the grass, took the kids for a ride on the 4 wheeler back to the woods so my daughter could pick flowers, then I gave “how to ride a 4 wheeler” lessons to me two youngest.  I wasn’t ready when my son accidentally goosed it and I nearly fell off the back.  My legs actually went up into the air.  I looked like something from a cartoon.  Talk about an exciting day.  Then I took the trash out so Greg could relax after class and now it’s time for me to take a break and eat something.

7:00 pm:  1.5 scoops of Chocolate UMP protein shake with 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I didn’t drink near enough water but with all the excitement it’s no wonder.  I think I need to take a much needed vacation from “Laura Day”.

I’m tired now.  I had to wash Cody’s track uniform and now I’m going to bed.  I hope you all had a very quiet and boring day today and have sweet dreams…

Day 137, March 29, 2012

Good morning to everyone out there.  Today is the day I am going to attempt to run again.  I did alright before so I am going to do it again.  I’m going to take it slow, but you know what they say, “Slow and steady wins the race!”  Wish me luck! 

7:48 am:  Ok it’s off I go with a protein bar.  I do not really like how they taste but they do the trick.  I’m going to the grave yard where one of my best friends is buried to begin my running.  I had my 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 1 L-Carnitine and my water.  Now I’m off to begin this thing.

11:30 am:  Chicken salad on celery with Carront sticks and strawberries with splenda, along with my 1 L-Carnitine and my water. 

I did alright for my first attempt at running.  I am so NOT good at it but at least I am doing it.  I am slow but I will keep at it.  I am a firm believer in at least trying.  I hope you all will try and trust me, you will feel so much better.

3:30 pm:  Protein bar with water and 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m on my way down to use the kinnect.  It’s been a little while since I have done my Zumba.  I am a little rusty but it will still be fun!

6:40 pm:  Baked chicken, steamed broccoli, and fruit salad with splenda, with 1 L-Carnitine and water.

It’s time for me to veg for a little while with the family.  We haven’t really done a whole lot for spring break but it’s partly because of the weather.  I cannot believe it’s this cool when it was so warm the past few weeks.

8:45 pm:  Last meal of the day.  I’m having the cookies and cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International with my 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, 1 L-Carnitine and water.   It’s been a rather productive day.  I got to see a friend of mine that I grew up with.  It was nice.  I went to her house to see her grandson.  I cannot believe we are old enough for this.  I still feel like I’m a teen  myself.  I know you all know what I’m talking about.  It’s crazy stuff.  When did we all grow up?  I hope you all had a great night and I hope you have the sweetest dreams…

Day 138, March 30, 2012

Greg has today off so we stayed up al little later than normal.  So of course that means we slept in a little longer than usual. 

9:00 am:  I have no idea what I want to eat.  I wish I was rich so I would have someone that would make me my food so I wouldn’t have to.  Ugh!  I’ve decided on oatmeal with splenda and strawberries and splenda with 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine with my water.  I have loads to do today so I guess I had better get busy!

12:00 pm:  OMG!  I have decided that the muscles that I thought I had in my stomache DO NOT exist.  I’m thinking they are all in my imagination!  Have I mentioned that I think sit ups are something out of a torture chamber.  Who knew they would hurt this much?!!  I mean just because they have been on a bit of a hiatus it shouldn’t mean  they should hurt this much!  I’m thinking it hurt less when I had each of my four children.  I so think stomach muscles are over rated.  I wish I could just pay someone to do these stupid things for me!  JK!  Maybe!

12:30 pm:  I decided to drink my chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly with my 1 L-Carnitine and water as I am curling up in a little ball with my sore want to be stomach muscles!  Where have you stomach muscles been my whole life?!!

5:00 pm: I’m having an egg white omelette with fat free cheese and onions and green peppers.  I had a glass of water with lemon and my L-Carnitine.

8:00 pm:  Time for my Chocolate UMP protein shake with 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 1 L-Carnitine and water.  I’m a little slow moving tonight.  I hate ab workouts.  I guess the saying, “No pain, no gain!” is true.  LOL!  We rented movies for tonight.  I will say that I do miss having popcorn with my movies but I will push through without any.  It’s not the main thing I miss!  Nope, I really, really miss my Margarita’s!  Bar none!  I keep trying to visualize myself when I turn 40 on June 10.  I will be looking good!  Even if it kills me!  Well maybe not kills me.  But I will look good!   It’s time for me to go so we can watch our movies.  I hope you all had a great night and have the sweetest of dreams…

Day 139, March 31, 2012

Good Morning!  So I had a thought!  I have been on a diet for 139 days and I’ve lost 50 pounds.  I guess that’s not terrible but I want more.  I know I have to focus more on working out, but I have to say I am kind of tired of being on a diet.  I guess I need to stop and take a minute to rethink some things!  I talked to Greg earlier and I need to quit thinking of myself as being on a diet and start thinking of the new lifestyle change.  It needs to be a change and not just a diet.  Diets are not something we can live with day in and day out!  Lifestyle changes are something entirely different.  I need to look at my pictures of my bathing suit and look at my before pictures and think about all the work I have done to get to where I am now.  It has been a long road but it has been totally worthwhile! 

8:00 am:  Egg white omelette with 3 Total Body Research Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine with a glass of orange juice and water.  I have to say that the oj was the best part of the meal.  It has been a minute or two since I’ve had that.  It was yummy!  Now on to the rest of my day!

12:00 pm:  Lunch time!  I’m going to have Greg’s chicken and egg casserole.  I’m doing well drinking my water and I took my 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m thinking we are going to go for a bike ride.  FYI, my wonderful, awesome husband, Greg, bought me a big girl seat.  I am so glad to say that my behind was not sore at all at the end of the ride.  We rode 2 miles so I’m pretty happy.  Cross your fingers that later I don’t whine and complain about my rump!  LOL!

4:00 pm:  We are having beef Kabobs.  They have lean flank steak, green peppers, onions, carrots, squash and brown rice.  It was really good for a change.  I took my 1 L-Carnitine and my water with lemon. 

All in all we had a wonderful day.  We rented some movies again.  We rented the movie called The Way and it was pretty good.  It was about a father taking the ashes of his dead son on a pilgrimage.  We thought that would be a good thing for us to do in a few years after the kids leave the nest.  LOL!  I have definately come a long way.  I used to plan on us going and drinking and having a good time in Mexico and now I’m planning on going on a 500 mile walk.  Wow I have really come full circle haven’t I? 

8:00 pm:  I’ve decided to mix things up a bit and have a chocolate and cookies and cream Ultimate Muscle Protein with 3 TBR LabsColostrum and 1 L-Carnitine with water.  Today has been really nice.  I wish more of my days were like this.  I hope you all have had just as good a day as I have.  I hope you all have a great night and the sweetest of dreams…..

Day 140, April 1, 2012

Good Morning everyone!  Today is going to be an even better day than yesterday!  I have decided today is the day that I am going to run 10 miles!  April Fools!  Obviously!  I am lucky to be able to walk the 3 miles.  LOL!  However I will continue to walk and run and at some point in the future I will be able to run that 10 miles!  Just you wait and see!  Now on with my day!

8:00 am:  Coffee and protein bar for me.  I took my 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine with my water.

12:00 pm:  It’s lunch time.  I made some vegetable soup and it was really good and healthy.  I trimmed all of the fat off of the beef so it is as healthy as it is yummy!  I took my 1 L-Carnitine and drank my water.  Now it’s time for us to rest on the porch swing and then we are off on our bike ride.  I cannot wait!  It is amazing how a seat can make such a difference.

We just finished our bike ride.  We rode a little over 2 miles.  I am going to walk with my bestie on our favorite walk.  I am loving this great weather.  I am so excited to be able to say that I not only rode my bike for over two miles, but I also walked over 3 miles.  I am so going to look F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S for my 40th birthday!  I love this!

5:00 pm:  I’m having another helping of my vegetable soup for dinner along with a fruit salad, and my L-Carnitine.  And now it’s time for us to weed our flower gardens.  It’s crazy how many weeds have grown.  It’s never ending!

8:00 pm:  Chores finished, and shower taken now it’s time for me to have my cookies and cream UMP protein shake by Beverly International with my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 1 L-Carnitine and my water then it’s down time until we go to bed.  Army wives and Desperate Housewives are both on tonight!  Today has been a wonderful day.  And guess what?  They are just going to get better!  I hope you all have a great night and sweet dreams….

Day 135, March 27, 2012

Good Morning everyone.  I think today is going to be a halfway slow day!  Well maybe.  LOL.  Lately, I haven’t really had any slow days.  But I do like staying busy.  I’d better get started on my day.

8:00 am:  oatmeal with fresh strawberries and splenda with 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 1 L-Carnitine, and water.  I’m not drinking any coffee today.  My acid reflux is going a little crazy today.

I’m doing laundry today and I have to clean everything up from the past few days.  I get really behind and very tired when I work several days in a row.  I think I’m getting  way too old for this.  LOL!  I have decided to go ahead and work my upper body today.  I have low weights and I’m doing 4 sets of 15.  I am pretty sure I will be sore but I will persevere. 

11:30 am:  1.5 scoops of Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly with 1 L-Carnitine and water.

3:40 pm:  Chicken salad with celery and 1 L-Carnitine, and water.

My tummy is kind of blah today.  I have terrible allergies and they are really getting to me today.  Add to that my acid reflux, and the drainage from the allergies and it makes for a cruddy day.  I’m going to have some water and lay down for a little bit.

6:00 pm: I feel a little better so I am going to have my chicken salad with low fat italian, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, celery, carrots, onions with my 1 L-Carnitine and my water.

8:30 pm:  It’s time for my last meal and I think I am going to have 1 scoop of the Chocolate UMP with water and 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs with 1 L-Carnitine.  Now it’s time for bed.  Today is going to be a much better day.  Good night to all of my friends and I hope you have sweet dreams…..

Day 136, March 28, 2012

Good morning everyone.  Today is going to be another busy day.  I have a lot to do today but I plan on having fun.  I have to eat my breakfast on the run so it’s a protein bar for me along with my 3 Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine, along with a bottle of water.  I have to run to get my cat Freezer from the vet this morning.  Poor think got neutered so I’m thinking he’s going to be a bit on the cranky side.  After that I have errands to do with my daughter and we are going to spend the day together after the boring stuff.  LOL!  More later.

11:00 am:  We are having lunch at Ponderosa in Madison.  I’m having chicken with a baked potato, watermelon, cantaloupe, and kiwi with water and lemon.  It is a little off for me to eat chicken where I would normally eat steak but I don’t mind.  I’m getting into my pants and shorts I haven’t been able to wear for several years and I am LOVING it!

I didn’t think we would be out this long and I didn’t brink anything else but I am having some more water.

6:00 pm:  I waited too long to eat but Breanna and I had so much fun today.  We went shopping, went to lunch, went to the flea market, and then dollar store and Walmart.  We stopped off at Mom and Dad’s to show them the spoils and now we are on our way home.  We are going to pick up Kaylie on the way through then it’s dinner for us and some televison time. 

6:25 pm:  I am having the rest of my chicken salad along with green beans and boiled potatoes with spray butter, 1 L-Carnitine, and my water.  I’m thinking about a few drinks of my hubby’s diet pepsi.  It’s been a while.  Then again Maybe not!  It gets easier if you just say no to the pop.  I know it may be hard for some of you to believe but I swear it is totally true!

8:40 pm:  It’s time for my last meal today.  I’m going to have 1.5 scoops of Chocolate UMP protein shake by Beverly Internationalwith my 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m not hungry but I wanted to make sure I had my supplements in for the night.  I walked today but didn’t get any excercise in but I will tomorrow.  It’s going to be a very busy day.  I hope you all had a great day today and have sweet dreams….

Day 134, March 26, 2012

Good morning everyone!  I hope you are all having the kind of day that I am.  It has been wonderful.  I have been so busy with work and all the family stuff.  It does seems like it has been a crazy time.  I have been pretty tired at night.  On the up side I have been too tired to eat.  I have had so many wonderful things happen to me lately.  I have had my hubby home with me and thank goodness he is finished with his class from you know where, my kids are on spring break and they are getting along, I’ve been spending time with my Dad and he is doing a good job losing weight again, and I’ve finally gotten to the 50 pound weightloss goal.  I am halfway there.  I did yo-yo a bit during the winter months but now I’m back on track and going strong.  I firmly believe part of your weight loss battle is your mindset.  If you aren’t ready to give it your all then you will have trouble succeeding.  I’ve had so many people tell me lately that they can tell I’ve lost a lot of weight.  I am in pants and jean shorts I haven’t been able to wear for over 3 years.  And my husband has been VERY complimentary lately.  It has just been wonderful.  Now if you would have asked me last week then you would have heard what butts my family were all being and how I needed a vacation.  Lord save all of us from hormonal outbursts!  LOL!   Now things are more settled and running smoothly.  It’s about time.  I need to lose at least another 50 pounds.  It’s going to be hard but not impossible.  I am starting to work out with my weights again.  I am starting to get firm and not a jiggling mess anymore.  Yay Me!  No body likes the jiggely jello legs and arms…

7:00 am:  It was a little hard getting up early today after working all the hours the past few days.  But I did it. I’m having an egg white omelette with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and fat free cheese.  I’m on my first cup of coffee along with my 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m on my first glass of water.

11:00 am:  It’s time for lunch.  I’m having chicken salad with pickles, onions, green olives, green peppers, on celery with 1 cup of cantalope and my L-Carnitine.  I’ve drank 3 glasses of water and now I have to run to Dad’s house.  I bought several 3 litre bottles of water so I’m taking one of them with me.  LOL! 

3:30 pm:  Ok I’m finished at Dad’s house.  I picked up some healthy snacks and now it’s time for me to get dinner on.  We are having grilled chicken with grilled green beans mixed with onions and fruit salad. I took my L-Carnitine with water.   I’ve drank so much water I want to live in the potty room right now.  One downfall about drinking all of it.

5:30 pm:  Today is the day I’m doing my lower body workout.  I’ve been sore but it’s getting easier than last week.  I could barely walk.  It was almost painful to watch.  It’s the best feeling of accomplishment.  I love it!

8:00 pm:  It’s time for me to drink my last meal.  LOL!  I’m having my 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, and 1 L-Carnitine with my Chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International. 

I’m getting tired now so I’m going to go watch some television with my family and relax for a change.  I hope you all had a great day.  I hope tomorrow is going to be warmer.  It was a little nippy out today.  Sweet dreams everyone….

Day 127, March 19, 2012

Good morning everyone!  It’s going to be another beautiful day today.  I have to run to Batesville today and drop off some money for my tupperware and then drop off some Mary Kay for a couple of people.  I think a walk is in order since it is so wonderful out!  I hope you get to enjoy the day too.

8:00 am:  I’m eating my protein bar with my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 1 L-Carnitine and water.  I’m running out of my free protein bars so I hope some come back on sale again.  They make it  easy to stay on track with your eating.  I’m always eating on the run during the summer.

I dropped the money off and looked through my friends new house.  It was huge!  I love, love, love her sun room.  I really want one but have to save, save, save first!  LOL!  I’m off to my friends house to drop her MK off.

It is so nice out we are going to go for a walk through Oldenburg.  If you have the chance I highly recommend it.  I forgot my running shoes so I am going to do something you should never do, I’m going to walk with my flip flops on.  Hey at least they are Nike.  I wouldn’t recommend walking in them but it’s better than nothing.

I am home now and I really enjoyed spending time with my Bestie!  We walked her dogs and it was beautiful.  We walked through the cemetary and back a long lane of woods overlooking hills, it was awesome.  I drove my Mustang Convertible with the top down so today has been A-W-E-S-O-M-E!  That’s right I said AWESOME!  Of course I looked like a total dork with my ball cap and pig tails but hey I don’t really care. 

I drank lots of water while I was gone today but didn’t eat anything so I’m a really bad nutrition girl today.  On the up side I didn’t eat anything I wasn’t suppose to.  On the down side I got a stomach ache and I didn’t eat enough.  I need to pack my handy dandy cooler again.  Next time I go out I definately will.

6:30 pm:  I am having grilled chicken strips with a baked potato, green beans, water, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I have to say I was afraid I had begun to C-L-U-C-K!   But tonight it was really good.  I need to come up with some more variety food.  I am so terrible during the nice weather.  It’s something I will work on.  I’ll just add it to my list.

BTW I forgot to tell you all that I put a pair of shorts on that I haven’t been able to wear for over 3 years.  Sooo excited!  I mean they were jean shorts and I did have to do the dance.  You all know the dance I’m talking about.  Pull, stretch, bend and touch the floor a few times, pull the waistband out.  LOL!  Don’t lie, I know all of you have done the jean dance at least once in your life.  Even thin girls have to do the jean dance sometimes.  I am going to tell you a GIANT secret and I’m sure my husband is going to kill me (insert chuckle here), when I was younger and thin my jeans used to be so tight when I put them on that I would do the whole jean dance only back then(because of my excessive age), I had to lay on the bed first then do the whole jean dance.  Well I found a way to circumvent the “jean dance”.  I used to have my husband put my jeans on first, (insert another chuckle, then another again, he is so going to kill me)then I wouldn’t have to do the dance.  They fit perfect.  Hahahahaha!  Funny shit!  He loves me sooo much!  I am very lucky!  I mean think about it.  Does your husband love you enough to put your pants on and stretch them out for you?  It’s something to think about…

9:30 pm:  It’s time for me to have my Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International with my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs , and my 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m having another glass of ice water.  I’m really thirsty tonight.  It’s been a great day.  I came home and cleaned off my porch and put my flowers in the new flower pots I bought.  They have two puppies on them.  Too cute.  I then cleaned my kitchen and did the dishes.  Now it’s time for me to find out who “A” is on Pretty Little Liars.  I’ve waited a while to find out.  I hope you were lucky enough to be outside today!  Have a great night and sweet dreams…..

P.S. Do yourself a favor and go out and enjoy the sun tomorrow.  If you have house work to do put in on the back burner for a while.  You will be much better for it!

Day 126, March 18, 2012

Good morning everyone.  I was so tired last night.  I slept in today.  I’m going to have my coffee inside because I’m too sunburned to go outside today.  Poor me.  It’s suppose to be a nice day again today.  I’m really kinda bummed that I can’t go outside. 

9:30 am:  oatmeal with banana, 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 1 L-Carnitine, water and coffee.  I’m going to read a book on the couch today

12:30 pm:  Still bummed about not being able to go outside.  It’s time for lunch.  We are warming up the egg/chicken casserole from yesterday.  I’m drinking lemon water and taking my L-Carnitine.  Greg went to get the tiller so he could till the two gardens.  I’ve been in and out today.  I guess I could put a t-shirt on and go out but then I will get weird tan lines so I’m not doing it. 

We went back over to Greg’s parents house to help them take their two couches they bought in and set them up.   We are grilling potatoes, and chicken on the grill, green beans and  I’ve got ice water with lemons.  I have really missed grilling out.  I need to move to florida so I can grill year round.  I took my L-Carnitine and I’m good to go.  Now it’s time for me to get ready for the kids to go back to school and Greg back to work.  I hate being at the house by myself after the weekend.  I love having the family around.  You know I hear from all of our friends and family how glad they are when their husband goes back to work and the kids are in school but I am the total opposite.  I would love it if they were home with me all of the time.  Of course I am sure I would change my mind if they were underfoot all of the time.  Who knows?

8:30 pm:  It’s time for me to take my 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, L-Carnitine, and chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly with my water.  It’s been a really good day today.  We got a lot of things done today.  I’m going to get ready for Monday.  I am going to go for my favorite walk tomorrow.  I hope you had a great day and have sweet dreams…

Day 125, March 17, 2012

Good morning everyone!  It’s going to be a wonderful day today.  We are going to have breakfast then it’s time for us to go outside.  Greg is making us an egg white omelette with onions, and mushrooms.  I took my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, L-Carnitine and  I’m grabbing my cup of coffee for the porch swing and outside we go. 

Talk about a busy, busy day.  Greg cleaned some of the flower beds up, picked up the clutter from the deck and around it.  I cleaned the deck up.  We had some rose of sharon bushes in the back yard Greg and Dylan pulled out with the tractor.  And I got to lay out on my lounge chair and read a book.  It was so nice.  Greg made us his chicken and egg casserole.  I took my my L-Carnitine and I’ve had my ice water.  Now I have to go to work for a few hours.  I’m really sunburned but I had a great day.

I didn’t think I would be gone as long as I was.  I took water to drink but nothing to eat.  I’m way behind.  I’m too tired to eat much so I’m going  to have my Chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International.  I’m taking my 3 Total Body Research Labs Colostrum, my 1 L-Carnitine and water.  Now I am off to bed.  I hope you all had a great day and have sweet dreams….

Day 124, March 16, 2012

I am so excited!  Greg took the day off and we get to spend the entire day together.  We are going to get lunch and then go to a movie.  Then we will have to see  what comes next.

I had a protein bar for breakfast.  It taste like crap but it has a load of protein in it and it was free.  My mother in law is great about getting them for almost nothing.  She totally loves her couponing.  I’ve used protein bars before and they worked for me so I’m going to grab them when I’m in a hurry.  I took my 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, my L-Carntine.  I grabbed a bottle of water and off we go.

We have some errands to run before we go to the movie.  I have to stop at work for a little bit.  I need to make sure I know when I’m scheduled to work the next time. 

Ok that’s all done now it’s time for us to have lunch.  I’m having a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun, steamed potatoes, and steamed green beans.  I even ordered a water with lemon.  I am being such a good girl!  I want you all to remember that after you eat healthy you really don’t want to put the unhealthy stuff in your body.  You may crave it but once you eat it, trust me, it doesn’t taste as good as you remembered.

Ok now it’s time for our movie.  We are going to see This Means War.  I think it’s going to be good but I will let you know.  We didn’t get a pop or popcorn so I’m still a good girl. 

Ok the movie was really good.  I thought the other guy was hotter than the one she picked but whatever.  (Did you like how I didn’t ruin the movie for you there?  LOL!)  Now we have to run past Biggs in Harrison, OH to see if we can find snow cream for my two youngest.  We picked up two movies to watch tonight.  I love to cuddle with my hubby.  It’s the best.

I cut up some celery and broccoli earlier and we have baby carrots.  I ate a bowl of those with my L-Carnitine and water.  Then I ate some fat free butter pecan ice cream stuff that Greg bought me.  I know it’s dairy but I tried to go healthy.  So I guess I’m not like a good girl, I’m not really a bad girl either, I think I’m a so-so girl.   LOL!  I’ll take it.

I am drinking my Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly with my 3 Colostrum, L-Carnitine and my water.  I should have just had my shake earlier.  It took care of my sweet craving.  Duh!  I’ll remember that. 

It’s time for me to get to bed.  Greg and I are going to work outside tomorrow so I get to work on my tan again.  I am loving this weather.  My allergies are going nuts but I will take it with this beautiful weather.  I hope you all had a great night and have sweet dreams…

Day 123, March 15, 2012

Good morning everyone.  Today is going to be a day for chillaxin.  I’m going to go for a walk but not too much more.  I’d better get up and start my day.

7:45 am:  The kids are on the bus and out the door for school.  Now it’s time for me to have my coffee and oatmeal.  I took my 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, L-Carnitine, and water.  I’m having my coffee out on the swing.  Today is going to be a really nice day. 

Today has been an awesome day.  I absolutely love the sun.  I know I have said it before and I am sure I am going to say it again.  I have been outside since I got up.  I’ve already called Greg and told him I wouldn’t be doing anything inside today.  LOL!

12:00 pm:  Not really in the mood for eating when it’s this nice out.  For now I’m grabbing a protein bar.  I’m taking my jug of ice water outside with me.  I am so wanting a tan.  I think it’s just what I need right now.  Here in a little bit I’m going to go for my walk.  I took my L-Carnitine and back outside I go.

3:00 pm:  I’ve really enjoyed my day today.  I’ve enjoyed doing absolutely nothing.  I kept thinking how great my life is.  I could so do this every day.  Wouldn’t that be nice to be able to just sit in the sun with no worries.  If I could bottle this feeling I would be rich.  LOL!  It’s time for me to take my L-Carnitine and I’m having chicken wrapped in lettuce with fat free italian dressing, and an apple.

6:00 pm:  Of course now it’s getting all yucky looking out.  It looks like it’s going to storm.  So much for good weather.  Oh, well at least I got to be out in the sun most of the day.  Greg is at school tonight so I’m going to fix something quick.  I’m thinking steak with sauteed green peppers, mushrooms and onions on brown rice.  I made fresh fruit salad  earlier so I’m having some of that with my L-Carnitine and water.

 Now it’s time for me to excercise.  I went for a short walk earlier so now it’s time for me to use my weights for my upper body.  I am so not good about working out with my weights.  I know I would lose weight and inches faster if I would just do it.  I’m having trouble getting motivated.  I need another work out buddy.  It’s way more fun to work out with a buddy.

I have a terrible stomach ache.  I’m going to have to skip my UMP protein shake and evening supplements.  I’m going to bed.  Good night everyone.

Day 122, March 14, 2012

Good morning everyone!  First things first today and I am making me some coffee.  Breanna is home sick with strep throat.  She’s going to sleep in and I’m going to enjoy my coffee on my porch swing.  I have to say I think my porch swing has to be one of the best investments we have made.  I really enjoy it.  Ok it’s time for me to start my day.

7:45 am:  Kids are on the bus.  I have my coffee.  I grabbed a protein bar for breakfast so I could swing.  I took my 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 1 L-Carnitine, and a glass of water.

11:49 am:  Time for lunch.  I made some chicken on the grill so I’m going to have that and a side salad.  I’m on my 4th glass of water, I took my L-Carnitine and now it’s time for me to get Breanna some water and make her a grilled cheese.  I hope her throat isn’t too sore to eat that. 

3:30 pm:  Chicken, water, carrot sticks, water and 1 L-Carnitine.  I think we are going to grill tonight.  That sounds good to me. I love, love, love, this weather.

6:20 pm:  grilled chicken with peppers and onions with potatoes and carrots in foil on the grill.  I’m on my 6th glass of water, I have to take my L-carnitine and then I am off for a walk.  My bestie can’t go with me so I am going to walk by my house instead.

I started out going for a bike ride (Bryce you will be glad to know I did indeed get back on my bike.  I am not as sore as I was the other day.  Yay!) I had flip flops on and got scared when Greg said I would scrape the skin off my toe.  I went straight back and decided to go on a walk instead.  I took my music and off I went.  I felt much better after my walk.  We drove it and it was 1 1/2 miles.  I feel loads better after all the fresh air.  If any of you are feeling all blah then go outside a take a walk.  Fresh air does a body good.

9:40 pm:  I’m on my last meal.  1.5 scoops of the Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International with my 3 Total Body Research Labs Colostrum, 1 L-Carnitine and another 1/2 glass of water.  We went into Osgood earlier and looked at a couple of houses for sale.  We are thinking about buying a fixer up and then re-selling it.  We are just going to have to see what happens.  Today has been a great day.  I’m back on track and going strong with my healthy lifestyle change.  I am so going to do this!  100 pounds in a year.  Piece of cake, or it would be if I could have it.  LOL!  Funny stuff!  Have a great night and sweet dreams…

Day 121, March 13, 2012

Good Morning everyone! Today is going to be a great day.  I really do need to clean my house but it is way too pretty outside to do that so I’m thinking today is going to be a lazy day with me just lounging outside.  I love this weather!

7:40 am:  Egg white omelet with 1/2 apple, water, 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 1 L-Carnitine, and coffee.  I’m going to sit on the porch swing and drink my coffee.  This is the life.

11:30 am:  Chicken salad on celery, 1 L-Carnitine, and water.  I have been outside all morning.  I am totally loving this.  It is so amazing how much better the sun makes a person feel.  I really think I need to live in Florida or California, or maybe even Arizona.  I am thinking I’m addicted to the sunshine and we all know it’s not been happening in Indiana lately.  We have had so much rain I’m thinking it’s time for us to begin the build on the ark.

3:00 pm:  I’m still outside.  I’m not hungry but I had better eat something.  What to eat, what to eat….I decided to eat the other half of my chicken salad.  I cut some of the celery up into the chicken salad and ate it with a spoon.  It made it easier to eat out on the deck.  Greg has school tonight so I am not in a hurry to do anything much today. I’m still planning on doing NOTHING today but soak up the sun.

6:00 pm:  I have to run to the store and get some things for Dylan’s lunch for his field trip tomorrow.  I’m not hungry but decided to eat a piece of Chicken from the other night.  I took my L-Carnitine, and a bottle of water and I’m out of here.

Well so much for me getting to chill today.  When I got back from the store my daughter told me her throat was really sore so I looked and she has blisters.  I had to take her to the doctor and I found out she has strep throat.  Yay!  I had to go to the drug store and get her meds and I got home around 9:45 pm.  I took a shower and now I’m sitting down having my Chocolate UMP protein shake with my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 1 L-Carnitine, and water.  I am tired.  Tomorrow is going to be better.  I’m planning on being outside most of the day.  I’m burnt so no laying out but I’m thinking I’m going for a walk tomorrow.  I hope you all had a great night.  Sweet dreams..

Day 120, March 12, 2012

“Ouch!”  First thought before even getting out of bed today.  My behind is really very, very sore.  I did say I was going to get right back on that bike but I’m not sure how long I can stay on it.  I really hope it gets less painful to ride my new bike.  I know we have all heard the phrase, “no pain, no gain”, but this is totally ridiculous!  I had better get on with my day.  But let me complain about one more thing,” I hate rain!”  Ok, I’m done now!

7:45 am:  Oatmeal with splenda and banana, water, 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I have loads to do to get my house back in order from my busy week last week and this past weekend so I had better get going.

11:30 am:  Lots accomplished so far.  Gonna eat a quick lunch, chicken salad with all the trimmings I usually have.  I’m doing pretty good on water today, taking my 1 L-Carnitine and I’m off here to get more things done!

It has been a really busy day today.  I’m totally looking forward to tomorrow and the sunny weather.  That weather man better be right about the nice weather.  I’m going to take my walk tomorrow and reflect.  Everyone needs some quiet time and I’m going to have mine while burning some of this fat off my body! 

5:00 pm:  I’m making chicken and noodles for Greg and Cody, Noodles and baked potatoes with spray butter for everyone, low protein noodles for Breanna and Dylan, and I’m having Chicken and potatoes with a big glass of water. Took my L-Carnitine and now it’s off to take a bike ride.  Cross your fingers for me!

Oh my gosh!  I did indeed get back on my bike but just let me tell you how BAD it was.  I went to the end of our driveway, which isn’t very far by the way, and was like “no way!”  I came back into the house and got a hand towel and put it between that evil seat and my behind and I got back onto the bike and was only about 100 ft and said, “No way, Jose!” STUPID TOWEL DID NOT WORK AT ALL!  So I didn’t lie, I did get back on the painful thing, I just didn’t stay on it very long.  I had to sit with pillow under my rear while I ate dinner this evening.  I need to order my a size XL seat for my new bike.  Hopefully I will get used to it, if not then I think I will invest in one of those wide seats.  OR I COULD JUST KEEP LOSING WEIGHT!  The latter seems like the thing for me to do!  More later.

8:30 pm:  I’m hungry and craving something sweet so I’m going to have my Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International with my 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs and my L-Carnitine.  I did a little bit of excercise on the weight machine I have.  I need to find a better routine.  I am going to be lean and trim no matter what.  We are going on vacation to Michigan the last week of June and I am going to lose this weight and buy myself a whole new wardrobe!  Talk about motivation!  I am psyched!  I hope all of you had a wonderful day and sweet dreams…

Day 119, March 11, 2012

Ok I completely spaced the time change so I slept until 11:00 again this morning.  I have to make something to eat and then we are going to go for a bike ride in a little bit. 

11:10 am:  1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and 1/2 banana.  I grabbed my 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, 3 SlimQuick Extreme and 1 L-Carnitine, drank a glass of water with it and now I’m going to sit on the porch swing and drink my coffee. 

2:45 pm:  It’s time for something to eat.  I am still having trouble eating what I’m suppose to.  I’m not hungry.  I do realize that’s awesome but I hate figuring out what to eat.  I love the shakes because they are so easy and filling.  I’m going to eat chicken salad with green peppers, onions, mustard, celery, and 1 T of olive oil May.  I just eat it with a spoon and the celery gives it the crunch of crackers.  It’s really good alternative to baking chicken.  I’m on my 5 glass of water and I’m taking my 1 L-Carnitine.  Now it’s time to get ready for my bike ride.

OMG!  Let me tell you how this whole bike ride escapade went.  First of all Greg ran right into Cody as soon as we left the house.  Greg was trying to switch his gears and Cody was taking the price tag off of his bike when BOOM, Cody flipped over his bike.  Well that in itself scared me.  I kept thinking I don’t want to wreck.  I am a baby that way!  I looked at several bikes last night and let me just say I bought the WRONG one.  I should have gotton the size GIANT seated bike.  But ohhhhh nooooo!  My kids told me  that I would get made fun of.  So let me recap my bike experience this afternoon.  I got on it and immediately felt like I had a thong up my butt.  Why on earth do they have bike seats that are so small?  I am going to be the first one to say that   fat butt + bike does not = a good time.  I mean I never want to get on the stinking little thing again.  I mean wow!  Another thing, my hubby and son were just peddling away and I was like huffing and puffing like I was dying.  It was humiliating!  I kept saying, bike rides are not for this fat girl!  Now let me tell you what I am going to do:  I AM  going to get right back on that little thong-feeling seat and keep going.  It used to be cake when I was young to just get on a bike and pedal for hours.  I only made it about 2 minutes before it started getting to me.  And that is because I need to step up on the excercise.  I will win over this stupid bike.  The old addage of pick yourself up and get right back on the bike(I think it was horse) and keep moving on is right on.  If we keep trying then we aren’t losers.  We become WINNERS every time we get back on that bike so to speak.  Now I’m going to go and get my pillow and sit on it for a while.

6:00 pm:  Greg decided to grill tonight.  I am loving this weather.  I, for one, have loads more energy.  Greg made salad, and steak with baked potatoes.  I ate my portion and then drank my water with my 1 L-Carnitine.  Now it’s time for me to plan what I’m going to clean tomorrow and then hopefully get a walk in.  I love to walk.  It’s looking like rain until about 3 or 4 tomorrow afternoon.  I’m off to take a shower and then it’s time for us to chillax in the living room. 

8:00 pm:  I’m having my last meal for the day,  Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly with my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, and 1 L-Carnitine.  Harry’s Law is on and I love that show.  She’s a handful just like me.  LOL!  I hope you all have a great night and sweet dreams…

Day 118, March 10, 2012

Well I guess my busy week has caught up with me.  I’ve been having some trouble sleeping at night, some people say it’s because of the full moon.  I’m not sure but I wish it would go away.  I glanced over at the clock today and guess what I saw?  It was 11:14 am.  Greg said he thought I needed the rest.  For whatever reason I do sleep better during the day.  Who knows why!  I slept right through breakfast so I’m going to go straight to lunch.

11:45 am:  I’m late getting my supplements in but better late than never, or so the saying goes.  I put all of my supplements into one place and then I don’t have to try to find it all.  It’s in one of those pill cases you buy at CVS.  It works wonders.  I was forgetting to take them and now I just reach for my case and there they are.  I took my 3 Colostrum by Total Body Research Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m on my first glass of water.  Crazy, yesterday I said I would try to drink more water and now look at me, I have slept the whole day away. 

4:00 pm:  We were all sitting around talking about renting a house in Michigan in June (another reason for me to lose this weigh), and I told my hubby I wanted a new bike.  He loves to ride on the trails and there are a bunch of them in Michigan so I guess we are off to buy a bike.  I ate a piece of baked chicken and my L-Carnitine and I’ll eat more soon.

8:00 pm:  Well we found my bike.  We ended up buying Cody, Breanna, and me a new bike.  I’m so psyched to ride it.  I haven’t been on a bike in years.  The last time I rode a bike consistently was when I had my daughter and that was over 13 years ago.  This should be fun.  I never did eat anything else so I’m going to drink a Cookies and Cream Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International.  It’s also time for me to take my 3 Total Body Research Labs Colostrum, and my 1 L-Carnitine.  I’ve drank about 60 ounces of water today so I need to start drinking more.  I’m excited about going on my first bike ride in over a decade!  Yay!  I hope you all have a great night and sweet dreams…

Day 117, March 9, 2012

Here we go again!  It’s time for me to get going again.  I have been having trouble sleeping so I’m a little on the grumpy side but I will work through it.  This morning is going to be a coffee morning.  I’m pretty tired.  I know, I know I would eat some cheese with this whine if I was allowed to have it.  LOL!  On with my day I’m running a little behind.

7:45 am:  Cup of coffee with splenda a 1 T of Dairyfree creamer.  1.5 scoops of Chocolate UMP protein shake with 3 SlimQuick Extreme, 3 TBR Labs Colostrum, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I am taking my water with me.

Well Dad got a big old spanking, not in a good way, by the doctor today.  He has gained 7 pounds.  On the bright side he said with my Dad’s health problems it’s still better than just giving up.  It’s going to be hard for him to lose because of his insulin resistent diabetes.  Everyone say a prayer for him that he will succeed.  His life depends on it.

We opted for eating at Subway.  It’s not terribly expensive and it’s healthier.  I got a grilled chicken salad with cucumbers, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, lettuce (of course), and black olives.  I took light balsamic vineagreatte dressing with me.  LOL!  Yes, people do look at you funny when you pull that out of your bag, but who cares!  I took my L-Carnitine and I drank water.  We have to go to the Amish store and then it’s time to go and work on Dad’s taxes.  Oh goody!

6:00 pm:  I’m late getting home and I have to figure out what to make for dinner.  It’s looking like baked chicken and frozen broccoli.  I need to pick some more fresh up.  I’m almost halfway finished with my water.  I need to make more of a concentrated effort to drink my water when I’m out and about.  Dinner’s done and now I have to take my 1 L-Carnitine with my water and it’s time to sit and veg.  We have a movie to watch tonight.

Okay, the movie Greg brought home the new movie, Footloose.  I will be totally honest and I am NOT a fan of the movie.  The original movie was a long better.  They sleezed some of the cast but I guess this is one instance where sex didn’t sell!

9:00 pm:  Time for my last meal.  I’m going to have 1.5 scoops of Chocolate Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly with 3 Colostrum, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I didn’t quite make it to a gallon today but I will strive to do it tomorrow.  I hope all of you have a good night and sweet dreams…

Day 116, March 8, 2012

Today I get to go to the doctor.  I’m not looking forward to getting on the scale even though I have lost weight.  You show me a person that LOVES to get weighed and you will see a crazy person.  I’d better get going because our appointments are at 9:20 am in Madison.

7:30 am:  1/2 cup oatmeal with splenda and a banana.  I’m drinking my first glass of water so I can take my 3 Colostrum by TBR Labs, 3 SlimQuick Extreme, and 1 L-Carnitine.  I’m curious to see what my blood pressure is while I’m on my SQ Extremes. 

11:30 am:  I’m on my way home from the doctor.  My blood pressure was perfect.  120/78.  I opted to wait to eat until I get home because I hate to spend the money and because there aren’t very many places to eat that are affordable and have healthy food.  I’m having chicken salad with celery with my water and 1 L-Carnitine.

I have to go to Cody’s talent show at the Damm theatre tonight.  I still have anxiety about going to places with a lot of people.  I cannot wait until I lose the rest of this weight.  I know most of it is in my head but I always feel like people are judging me for being overweight.

I’m pretty excited about watching Cody’s band, 4th & Forever play tonight.  They are playing two sets and they are going to rock!  So excited.

3:30 pm:  Baked chicken breast with steamed asparagus and broccoli with water and 1 L-Carnitine.

7:00 pm:  Ok we are at the talent show and Greg and Dylan are having Popcorn and I am so happy to say I didn’t have anything while I was there.  I have to give kudos to all the kids from JCD that participated in the talent show.  It was a very entertaining night.  It was great to hear my son’s band.  I was so proud of them. 
After it was all said and done I am so happy to say that I was that MOM! Oh yeah, that’s right!  I was totally her.  So exciting!   I loved it!   It’s been a while since I’ve been in that position.  I had so many people come up to me and tell me how great Cody was.  I know I was so proud I’m really very surprised that  my head even fit through the doors of the theatre.  It is an amazing feeling!  I know what you must be thinking, ‘Wow she has so made this about her!’  And you are right I did!  It was so cool!

9:00 pm:  1.5 scoops of Cookies and Cream UMP protein shake with 3 Total Body Research Labs Colostrum and 1 L-Carnitine with my water.  Now it’s time for me to settle down before I go to bed because I have to be out the door tomorrow morning at the same time.  Dad has another doctor appt. in Madison.  I hate having to run out the door as soon as I get up but what can I do?

I’m so glad I went to the talent show tonight.  I stepped out of my comfort zone and it was great.  Sometimes when we step out of our comfort zones it’s not a good thing.  I have been doing that since beginning this journey to a new me.  I recommend all of you try to step out of your comfort zone and make your life more fulfilling.  It’s been a really positive thing for me.  I hope you all have a great night and sweet dreams…
