Merry Christmas (belated) and Happy New Year!

Yep, you guessed it...been off the wagon again. So let's summarize. I've had Taco Bell, McDonalds, Long John Silvers...and that was just this past 2 days. I have had hot wings, pizza, tacos, chicken sandwiches, fries, cookies, candy and full sugar pop/juice. I have been HORRIBLE. Today there are still about 30 wings in my fridge. Tonight they will be gone. Tomorrow I will give it my all to eat no flour and no sugar and limit calories and fat!

Chloe has been trying to keep her dad in line, but I have brushed it off as "it's the holidays". That is the same crappy answer I have gave for years. So with a guilty feeling, my gorging will continue thru the evening. I am going to purchase new shoes for exercising tomorrow. Mine are broke down.
Besides good healthy eating, I want to start exercising too. I hope by July to have 100 pounds off for vacation. I have to stop having these breaks from doing good if I am going to succeed. Tomorrow is the start of a new day. I pray that this will be my last post about failing to stay on it.

i'm back...

So I took a hiatus from blogging and now am paying for it. I broke from my no flour/no sugar rule Friday December 24th (Christmas Eve) and ate crap thru the weekend. Today I sorta got back on it. No breakfast, beef roast and veggies for dinner and then popcorn and dark chocolate for snack. Not the greatest day, but not disastrous. I will be better tomorrow. Nothing else to say. G'night!

Day 18...

Once again, this will be a brief post. I avoided all pizza at work today. Then I avoided cake. So a good day. No breakfast due to cafe at work closed. Lunch was can chicken and beans. Dinner 3 eggs and 7 strips turkey bacon. For a snack 2 cans of sardines. Total calories were about 1200. That's all I got for tonight.

Day 17

Christmas team party at work today. Pizza and sweets for all...but not me! I had hot wings (no carbs) and unsweetened tea. Breakfast was my 2 eggs of course. Dinner was a chicken salad at McDonalds and two plain burger patties with no bun. Total calories were about 2200...way too many, but at least I avoided flour and sugar. Unfortunately though, too much fat and calories. I wasted about 1200 calories just on the wings. At least I didn't eat cookies or pizza.

Nothing else big happened today so guess I'm done for the night. Lonely around here without the kids. They are at mom's due to possible ice storm coming and is dangerous driving to mom's in bad weather to drop them off before work. I just hope it doesn't get too bad to drive in. I really can't miss work and don't want to be in another wreck this year! I can't wait to take Chloe out to celebrate her birthday this weekend (her Bday is 22nd, but we give her the weekend before Christmas to have her time since we work on her birthday usually). That's it for now.

Day 16

Today was weigh in day at work. Total lost this week was 6.4 pounds. A grand total of 24.4 pounds I have lost since in the past 2 weeks! This morning I had my usual 2 eggs and also added a tray of cantaloupe for some fruit that I have been missing. Lunch was a pack of tuna and lettuce. Dinner was 1 turkey burger and half slice of cheese with some grilled onions on it. Snack was the last serving of my sugar free dark chocolate bars. I would approximate my calories for today to be around 850.

That's all for tonight...Biggest Loser finale is tonight, so gonna log off and watch it before bed.

Day 15

When all was said and done, we got around 8 inches of snow today. I called in since my rear wheel drive car has no weight in the back and fishtails in this stuff. Crystal did the same, only to be called by boss at 9 and told she had to come in. This jump started me to shoveling a driveway and walkway. Then cleared two cars and had them warmed up by 9:20. So there was my morning cardio workout ;-) Me and the kids just lounged around most of the day. I did watch a documentary called Foodmatters. Basically it said to eat more organic fruits and veggies, eat them raw, drink veggie juices and take plenty of essential vitamins. They revealed studies that show vitamin c in super high doses can cure cancer. That Niacin can cure depression. And that 2 handfulls of cashews daily can help like a prozac with no bad health effects. The experts on it advised a meal with 51-80% raw veggies and fruits each time you eat and take more than what is said to be recommended allowance of vitamins and this will heal you of disease. It was radical, but it did make a lot of sense. How drug companies pay millions a year lobbying government to vote/see things their way, so that would explain why a solution to disease as easy as nutrition and vitamins would never be recommended by doctors or government. I doubt I will be a vegetarian, but I am going to purchase some vitamins and more veggies to eat. I buy into alot of what they said.

A snow day at home in the past, especially without Crystal giving support, would mean eat all day. Not today! 2 eggs and 2 strips turkey bacon for breakfast. 2 grilled turkey burger patties with one slice cheese and onions for lunch. For dinner I had a small caesar salad with parmasan cheese and the last of my roast turkey from Saturday. Total calories were about 1300. Good day except for the lack of water I drank...which was 0 ounces. Tomorrow I'll do better!

Day 14

Alright, it is very snowy and cold out. About 3 inches so far and more to come. The roads at 3 were slick and wet looking with 25 degree temp. So now at 8:30 they are snow covered and I'm sure that wet look from earlier has made a nice sheet of ice under the snow that covers it. I have already about counted on taking an occurance at work and calling in tomorrow...Crystal feeling the same way. If nothing else, I will take a tardy and go in after the road crews can clear the roads. School is out for the kids, so it will suck traveling that county road to get to mom's house to drop them off if we do go to work. Oh well, will figure all that out tomorrow morning.

Today I stayed hungry and battled food hour by hour. I woke to have some turkey with cheese. Lunch was a caesar salad with turkey and dinner, you guessed it, turkey with cheese. I also had a serving of sugar free dark chocolate, which I regret buying. once they are gone I will buy no more. It is an addictive food and I have made it a practice not to eat addictive foods. My total calories so far (as I may have a snack of turkey in a few hours) is about 1500.

That's about it. I pray tomorrow is a good day. That the Lord keeps us safe, warm and happy.
