Weekend Update!

Hello there my fellow Curvy Divas. I am back. A little later than expected but back none the less.

So if you hadn't noticed that lovely Becoming a Curvy Diva section to the right of the blog I weighed in on Monday and lost an astounding 6.6 pounds. Baby-BABY!!!!!!!! Wooo HOoo!!!!!!  I am proud of that! Basically that was all my weight loss for the week. My Thursday  weigh in I stayed the say.  I was kinda disappointed until my nutritionist pointed out that I had lost 13 lbs in a little over two weeks. So props to me!

Any way I said that I would tell ya'll what I was eating for the week so I scanned my food journal and will display my notebook of goodies here for your viewing pleasure.  Let me preface this by saying that my allotted calorie intake every day is "supposed" to be 1300-1400 and I am never supposed to eat below 1200 a day.  Most day I do not make it to 1200 calories.  But that is a lot of food. So here it is:

 So there is is up till Thursday. Hope that helps some one.

As Always
Peace and Blessings

Monday Milestones

So I had the brilliant idea! I will start each week with a Monday Milestones post. The post will contain all my goals for the week and weather or not a accomplish them the next week (if that makes sense)! I guess we'll see how it goes. I am really excited.  I need some kind of accountabliity for my eating and exercising (read I am not exercising at all!) So this is what I came up with.  Next week on Monday Milestones I will post wether I made the goals for the last week and also establish new goals for that week. Soooooooooo........................

Here we Go

Goals for this Week:
1. Exercise at least 3xs a week.
2. Stay on track with my eating and post a bi-weekly blog with daily calories.
3.  Drink at least 80oz of water EVERYDAY!

I think that is enough to keep me going through out the week. I will be posting what I am eating later on in the week.  Also I have a weight in this afternoon so I may be back with that update later on today.

So my fellow curvy divas what are your goals for the week.  We would love to hear them and share in keeping each other motivated. Come on you know you want to share! LOL

Peace and Blessings

Feeling Defeated

So as I previously mentioned, I weigh in twice a week with the weight loss center that I am a part of.  So on Thursday I had and weigh in and I was up 4lbs. That's right you read that correctly. 4 f*%#ing pounds. Although I know that I did not actually gain that weight in two days I was still disappointed with the number that I saw.  Here in lies the problems that I usually face.  When I saw that weight I immediately thought about eating something really unhealthy. I was totally consumed with the though of binging on some candy and cookies and I was thoroughly overwhelmed. 

But I did notice a pattern.  Usually when I make a decision to loose weight I start off great.  I am loosing pounds and feeling great. Then I step on the scale and there is a gain and I loose my freaking mind.  My rationalization for eating bad is why eat healthy when it doesn't work.  I convince myself that the healthy food is not worth it and say F it!

But on Thursday I made the decision to do something different.  (Let us pause to warn you of a serious TMI moment about to happen.)  So after the weigh in we always speak with the nutritionist to make sure our eating is on track as well as the exercise.  So she asks me how my bowels have been moving!!!! LOL Well honestly they have been lack luster these past few days.  She told that is the reason for my weight gain.  I am full of .... well you know!!!!!! So that was kinda  a relief but I was still having those thoughts about binging.  So I grabbed my workout gear and went to the gym for and hour cardio dance class.  When I left I felt great and no longer wanted to bury myself in a mound of chocolate. I am very proud of myself for not doing what I usually do and having a break down.

So Diva's what are some of your coping techniques when the going gets tough? No pun intended.  Please share your secrets for making it through those disappointing times.

Peace and Blessings
  

And the Beat Goes On

So I haven't posted in a while.  Everything is going great right now.  I am on target for my calories most days and I am drinking gallons (exaggerations) of water a day. The only thing that I have not started is the exercise.  I am just not motivated.  But I did recently sign up with a couple of my coworkers to do the Team Lean program at the local Family Y.  I believe this will hold me accountable for going to the gym and getting my work out on.  So the Becoming a Diva section has been updated.  I am down another 1.8 pounds so that is 10 lbs down since i started my program. I am so excited.  Wooooo HOooooo go me!!!!!!
\Well Divas I am all out of updates.

Peace and Blessings

Week 1 Weigh In 2

So I am making progress and I am happy about that.  If I hadn't mentioned before I weigh in 2x a week with the program that I am doing.  So if you hadn't noticed the weight loss section to the right I am down another 2 lbs since Monday. I am really happy about that. I'm sure it could have been more but I have started the self sabotage already.  I bought a pack of sweet tarts.  After reading the label and determining that there are only 150 calories in the entire thing.  I didn't eat them all at once but the fact is that I ate them.  And I also had half of a kit kat that was left in the fridge.  I was having a hard time these past few days and so I ate.  I am still trying to figure out why it is that I am sabotaging myself. But as for right now I am back on track.  I hope you guys are making progress in the right direction as well.  I hope to pick up my blogging in the next week so that you all can get a better grasp of what I am doing and how it is working out for me.  I'm still on track just had a little slip up. Keep on going is all I can do. 

Peace and Blessings

Week 1 Weigh In

So it has been 6 days since I started my new weight loss program. Today I had my first weight in at the center.  I am pleased and excited to announce that I am down 4.6 lbs since last Tuesday.  I am very proud of myself for sticking with the plan almost entirely.  An I am proud because I lost that amount of weight while Aunt Flow was in for a visit.  So GOO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to do an official start of the program post with pics and every thing so look forward to that and I will also give you the details of the plan that I have been following.  Hope every one's  year is starting off wonderfully!

Peace and Blessings
