Health and Weightloss Week 3

I was awake to early this morning but I weighed myself and I lost 3.3lbs more and I'm over the moon happy about it. I am finding more pants I need to pull up while wearing them as well. I did my measurements My Chest is 40 1/2 inches, my belly is 44 inches which is 2 inches less than last week and I am not sure I am measuring my hips correctly due to not really knowing where they begin or end because of all the excess weight I have accumulated over the last 13 years. Its not a big deal because its a overall victory for me this week with the weightloss and 2 inches off the stomach/belly.






This was a new meal we tried Chicken Enchilada Roll ups and riced cauliflower. The cauliflower was bland but not horrible just need to learn to season it for next time. The Chicken was so delicious. Paul and I enjoyed it but our kids were a bit eh. My oldest ate the cauliflower which I was totally proud of. My boys really just didn't eat much at all this night. 

Another new one I tried. My family likes it when we have homemade pizza so I just altered the crust for me and made a regular for my family and I had a cauliflower crust which is made with low fat cheese and some italian seasoning and turkey pepperoni and a little big of turkey bacon bits on top of the pizza. It was really delcious. 
 This one is a favorite I came up with for lunch my chicken nuggets I make with the Honey Mustard and Onion sticks and then I put it on a salad with a little bit of low fat cheese and some low fat dressing.

 Another night this week we had tacos and I had a taco salad with some avacado on top and low fat ranch dressing. My protein in there is 93% lean hamburger browned with a little bit of seasoning.

Saturday me and Paul went to the Houston Rodeo. I drank water the whole time I was there and I took my afternoon fueling and for dinner I just had a chicken patty. It was way over priced and not great tasting but because we got food during the actual rodeo we couldn't go get the better choices that was more filling. I am proud of myself to stick to the program while out smelling all the deep fried foods, and other choices I avoided even free samples of stuff people were handing out to try. Another victory this week was I had to make a fruit salad for my son's blue and gold cub scout banquet and also a dessert of Sand Pudding I didn't have any at all while making it or the night of the event. These are small victories but worth celebratig as I make the changes to help me reach optimal health.

Intermittent Fasting and Good and Bad stress!

Image
       I am at the end of my unraveling rope. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. My doctor went out on maternity leave at the end of the year. I saw an uncaring provider in place of my normal provider. I then got so busy with life, school, and being a mother. It was so busy I became so mean to myself that I put care for me and my health on the farthest burner it might of well of been on someone else's stove in another country far from here.      After a lot of research, pondering, and then discussing with my doctor's support. I will be starting intermittent fasting. I figure I would journal about it because its going to be a journey. I joined a workshop that is directed by the leader of the Gratitude challenge and its on self compassion. I know this is something I lack and would love all the help in the world with.      I checked out a book of basics of intermittent fasting!          One thing that st...

Health and Weighloss Week 2

Image
Today starts week 2. I feel pretty good. I have cheated a bit but nothing too crazy. I realized that I ate lots of refined sugary foods and drank lots of soda because I was hungry and not feeding my body correctly by any means at all. I did my weigh in this morning and I am down to 214.8lbs. I only measured my waist last week before I started. I then realized half way through that was not best thing but I can go from here to keep track. Today I measured my chest across my belly because its where my weight stalled and my waist. My Chest I am measuring 41 inches, my belly where all my fat is stored today measurements is 46 inches, and my waist is 44 inches. Which is down from the start of the program.  This book I read recently and when I started it was when I really was deep in my search for something for myself to get rid of the shame I was feeling about the extra pounds I have carried around for more than 6 years of my life. Being asked everytime I wore a too shirt or something...
