Wish me luck!

I have been really busy trying to get everything ready for the little weekend trip to Tampa.

I will do my best to stick to my plan, so lets see what the scale says on Monday.

I haven't got the time to say much more, so have a great weekend!!!

sea ya on Monday!!

It's My Decision

I leave on Friday morning to Tampa and will not return until Sunday. I have to decide how I will handle food this weekend. Do I want to maintain? Do I want to lose weight? Do I want a Freedom vacation? My decision is that I want to lose weight. I want to get on the scale on Monday and see some sort of weight loss. It definitely is not easy to eat out and stay on plan, but if I am determined, then I will find the way to do this.

I must stick to grilled meats and salads and I will not have any desserts other than fruits. While everyone is eating like pigs, I will be eating healthy and come Monday, I WILL BE HAPPY!!

This is MY Decision, what will you be deciding to do when you are out on vacation?

Stress Eating?

Is there such a thing?

I do feel stress right now in my life, but I think because I am in that "zone", I am doing the opposite, by not eating. I couldn't eat dinner last night and I wasn't even hungry. I know that if I don't eat, I won't lose weight, so I will have to stick to plan and eat no matter what!! I have to eat to keep the metabolism going.

If you are wondering why I am stressed, it's because Herman still does not have a job. When we go for walks, all his negativity and reality comes out and it burns a hole in my stomach. He talks for one complete hour of all the bad ramifications if he does not work lol lol it drives me crazy lol So I take deep breaths, I look out to the ocean, I wish upon stars and I try to stay calm and optimistic. I continually remind myself that my life is in God's hands and He has the plans to my life. I must continue to have faith. I WILL NOT allow stress to alter who I am!!!!

Breakfast

Fiber One Key Lime Yogurt = 0 points

My game plan:

Saturday

Wake up early and do an hour walk.

Watch my portion size at the in-laws's anniversary lunch.

Walk another hour at the end of the day.

Sunday

Wake up early and do an hour walk.

Have a healthy lunch before going to the Dance show.

Walk another hour at the end of the day.

I have 7 days before we leave to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. I must be absolutely perfect until then, because it will be a little harder to stick to a plan once I am away from home. BUT, I WILL be prepared and eat correctly while I am away. No EXCUSES!!

Tanning the Belly

Sorry I missed writing yesterday's blog, but I spent the day taking my mom to her doctor's appointments.

It's time to bring out my super white belly and introduce it to the sun. It's another one of them mental things, where you look thinner when the belly is tanned and since you are showing it, you tend to work harder to make the muscles stronger.

I really need to get on my mat on a daily basis and do quite a few sets of sit ups. If I start now, I am sure it will make a difference for when we go to the water park.

Let's see if I can do at least 10 minutes a day. No reason why I shouldn't be able to do it!!

Breakfast

Peach = 1 point

Snack

Strawberries and Fruit dip = 2 points

Lunch

One Bagel Thin = 1 point

Asian Veggie Patty = 2 points

Reduced Fat Pepper Jack Cheese = 1 point

Tomato = 0 points

Ketchup = 0 points

Baked Chips = 2 points

WW Chocolate Cake = 1 point

Snack

Grapes and String Cheese = 2 points

So far = 12 points

Dinner

Veggies = 2 points

Fish = 3 points

Pineapple = 1 point

Fruit Dip = 1 point

Total = 19 points

What is it going to take to get you mentally THERE?
