Uhm....Check Please?

So....yesterday rocked food wise. :)  I made a lot of good food decisions and was below my food budget. :D

Today however hasn't gone quite as well.  I had a healthy breakfast and lunch, but then decided to splurge and went to BK.  I feel bad on one hand; but on the other it has been a long time since I have had fast food so I think I will be ok.

We got a LOT of cleaning done today.  We deep cleaned the kitching, diningroom, bathroom and livingroom.  Burned a lot of calories so I'm feeling pretty pumped still.

Hate the fact its overcast and rainy.  I wanted to get in the backyard and mow the lawn  one more time before it got really bad.  Oh well, I guess that can wait til spring. :)

Starting From Where I Am

Wow!  I didn't realize how long it had been since I have posted here.  There have been a lot of changes in my life; not all of them positive but they have made me a stronger person.  There is no looking back however.  Going forward is something I have to do if I am going to be successful in where I am going.

I am now a CNA and working full time as am HCA.  The kiddo is in 1st grade (Say what!?!?).

My current weight is 298 lbs.  That is a bit up from when I started the blog.  But its going down from where it was a few months ago. :)

I've started using this new app called "Noom".  Its a bit different but I like it.  I upgraded to the pro version and its been pretty helpful helping me realign how I think about healthy eating and expectations in general.

Today for breakfast I went for my version of "lite".  2 slices of toast slightly buttered, a Dole pears cup (packed in juice), a snack pack sugar free vanilla pudding and 4oz of Ocean Spray Cran-Apple (cut with 4oz of water).

I think thats a pretty successful breakfast.

I'll be back with another post later.

Smiles!

Rawr *cough cough*

So, I apparently haven't written in a few days . . . growl.  Lol.  not much to catch up on to be honest.  Working on getting back on the band wagon with the diet and on exercising daily.  Oh and finding a job.  lol.  Today was one of those days that I had high hopes that were a little bashed but its ok. :)  I had a job interview that I drove over an hour tog et to that apparently they didn't want to give me a second interview for *sigh*.  Thats okay though.  I have another interview on Thursday for a receptionist position.  :)  I think I would like that one better anyways.  its only fifteen minutes away, paid bridge toll, 3 days on 4 days off and starting at $10.50 an hour.  I call that a nice job. :)  now I just to make sure I land it.  woot wootie woot :o)

Oh crap

Okay so apparently I haven't written an entry in a few days. . . even though i always have a tab up for it *sigh*.  Yesterday was one of those days where i just said screw it and decided that I would go ahead and splurge a little.  Today is going to be much more on course :o).  I did have a little treat when I went to order Killians birthday cake but it was only a taste of the buttercream filling. :o)  It was really good though!  lol.

Other than that i have taken the past couple of days off from walking my 2 miles.  The shoes I have make it harder than it needs to be so until I can get a nice pair of cross trainers I am going to alternate walking with an at home workout.  Today I did the Golds Gym Door Gym work out.  It burned almost 300 calories and was absolutely awesome!  Even if I am not burning a ton of calories with it, its helping me to build lean muscle.  Lean muscle will help me to burn more calories.  Woot woot woot! :)

I should be able to write another entry in a bit.  For now I am off to have fun with a nap. :)

*Italian Fist*

I shake my fist at Calories and tell them to be damned!  I am going to lose this weight!  I will fight tooth, nail, foot, hand, club and anythign else I can find in order to combat my body and whip it into shape.  there is no turning around and going back.  There is no 'its to hard this time' damn it.  I am tired of looking this way and feeling this way and I am going to make my own difference!

There is no time like the present to make a wonderful change in your life.  And that is just what I am doing.  Growl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exercise Results:

Jogged 5 min

Okay so five days steady I have logged into MFP and kicked butt.  Oh yea!  Today has been a kind of inbetween day, but overall nice.  I have been talking with Pedro back and forth a little bit.  I got in some good exercise.  And I have a JOB INTERVIEW TOMORROW!  Oh yea!  Did anyone see that coming?  Im excited!!!!  WOOT WOOT WOOT!

Hopefully it will go well. :)

*evil laughter*

*stretches*  Okay peeps!  So this is how my day has gone so far.  It has been rather relaxing and really efficient.  I have almost all of the backed up laundry done, I did some dishes, cooked dinner, picked up Killians room, picked up the livingroom, cleaned a bit in the laundry room, folded laundry (put most of it away), hung out in the back yard and did some work out there plus got a quaint little walk in at Safeway when I went to pick up more laundry detergent and dish soap. :)

On another note I had my heart ripped out a bit by Jack.  But its okay because I am a tough one and I realize that life will work out as it is intended to.  I just need to play my part, be patient and keep heading in the direction of forward and upward. :o)  And as soon as the child is asleep I am going to get shitfaced again.  It helps to numb the emotional issues (and dont' assume I am an alcoholic or a bad influence on my son because I drink after he goes to sleep with my roommate in order to wake up the next day feeling refreshed and happy about life).
