Lovely Friday!!!

Lunch with friends, weekend get togethers, Sunday birthday party and healthy eating... Yes, this combination is possible if you decide to follow through with your plan. These obstacles will always be thrown at us, if we plan to socialize, but if we stay focused to our goals, we can win the Battle of the Bulge. I will stay within my points and I will still have some good food and still have a great time with everyone. I will also do my daily exercise, NO MATTER WHAT!!

Yesterday, I made this deeeelicious burrito, that was low in points and very filling. Take a one point Flatbread and add some reduced fat sour cream, then add some salad that already has some vinaigrette on it. Add Hormel Turkey Chili on top with a little bit of shredded cheese. Roll up and eat!!! Best Burrito in town for 4 points!!

Breakfast
Fiber Plus Bar = 2 points
Lunch
2 Slices of Pizza = 12 points
Salad = 4 points
Dinner
Salad = 3 points

Total = 21 points

Will you be choosing to have a healthy weekend?

ONE BITE AT A TIME, ONE DECISION AT A TIME!!! (I read this on Jen, A PriorFatGirl's blog. She has an awesome blog!)

Have a great weekend!

Happy Lobster Day!

Yesterday was the first day of Lobster Mini Season. Here in the Keys, THAT is a special occasion. Since Herman caught some lobsters, I made some Lobster Enchilada with shrimp and crab. We had it over rice with some cuban bread and tostones. It was absolutely delicious.

I did stay on plan, but it was not easy lol. Sometimes when it truly is a special occasion, we have to allow ourselves to enjoy the food with moderation. Lobsters do not happen daily, so this was special. I must admit, I could have eaten double or triple what I ate, but I controlled myself and stuck to the plan.

I did not get to walk outside last night, so I put on the Walking dvd's of Leslie Sansone and walked for about 50 minutes.

Today, I will be turning in my Audi TT =( The lease is over. It definitely was nice while it lasted and if you ever get the chance to splurge like that, a little convertible is definitely the way to go!!

Second Wind

I'm at the point now, where I feel alot better in how I look, but I still have at least 10 more pounds to go. This is where I normally screw it up, by feeling comfortable and just letting it go. NOT THIS TIME! I will continue doing what I am supposed to do...eating healthy and moving more. I will continue doing Weight Watchers and slowly get to my goal weight. I will SUCCEED!

I didn't eat much yesterday and spent the evening sleeping. Today, I feel better, but I am still a little weak. I will try to walk tonight if possible.

2 Wheat Toast = 2 points

Smooth Sailing,

Sickie Poo

I guess there must have been a bug going around at the party. I started feeling bad last night and then this morning it was worse. After taking Imodium, I slept until I was doing a little better. I then went to work, but then I started getting fever. It sucks to be sick.

I have drank alot of water and had some grapes and string cheese, but that is it. I do not have any appetite.

Let's see how the rest of the day goes.

We did an hour walk last night, but there will be no movement tonight. I plan on vegetating on the couch amd hopefully, this is just a 24 hour bug.

Weigh In and Weekend Update

Here are today's numbers:

Starting Weight: 170 lbs

Last Weigh In: 147.4 lbs

Today's Weigh In: 144.8 lbs

Weight Loss This Week: 2.6 lbs

Total Weight Loss:: 25.2 lbs

Goal Weight: 135

On Saturday morning, I weighed in at 144.8, for a total weight loss of 7.7 lbs from the diet. It is not tons of weight, but considering that I was already on a strict diet and getting close to my goal weight, I think it's great!!

Herman lost a total of 23 pounds on the diet, and has now lost 47 lbs in total.

Overall, this So Called Hell Diet was awesome. It is something you just do temporarily. If you need to shed some pounds quickly, this diet does the trick. Weight Watchers is still my choice for losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle.

You would think that after the diet, I would have been dying to eat so many things, but that did not happen. I woke up and had oatmeal. I wanted to see if I finally would like it. I prepared it with milk and ate about half of it. Unfortunately, I still don't like it. I had a whole mango cut up to eat that morning and I just ate half of it, because I was feeling already full.

Saturday morning, we got up at 7am and did our hour ski-walk to get ready for the big engagement party for Sandy and Jeff. Afterwards, we did about 30 minutes of landscaping.

In the afternoon, Julito came by and was hanging out and then invited us to eat pizza at the Big Chill. We had a Mariners pizza with lobster, shrimp and clams. I had half a slice and it was fabulous!!! It did not have alot of cheese on it.

We had time before the party, so we went out and did another hour of ski-walking.

The party was absolutely beautiful and the food was yummy!!! I tasted a little bit of everything, drank plenty of water, socialized and did alot of walking around at the party. I did not feel deprived of anything.

There is Nancy and Guayabo, tasting all the yummy food at the party.

And here is my beautiful family...

On Sunday morning, we woke up early, and started cleaning up the house. We went to the movies in the afternoon, and then went walking for about an hour and a half.

It was a GREAT weekend!!!

So today, it is back to Weight Watchers and back to reality lol

Day 13 - The Last and Final day of the so called Hell Diet

We have Tropical Storm Bonnie coming in, so when I got home yesterday, I cooked the chicken and we ate. Afterwards, we took the boat to my other house, where it is safer for the boat. Then we walked home, and walked for an hour.


I had two moments yesterday that I had to catch myself lol. I was cutting up mangoes for my mom and I was so close to putting a piece in my mouth lol It is torture smelling the mangoes!


Later on, I was making Ambrosia and I almost licked the spoon. I talked myself out of it, when the spoon was an inch from my mouth hahaha ohhhhh the sacrifice!


Day 12 was complete and successful.


Day 13 is a repetition of day of day 6. For breakfast, we had black coffee. For lunch, we get a quarter chicken with lemon and green salad. For dinner, 2 boiled eggs and a cup of grated carrots. And that my friends would be the END of the 13 day diet.


I will get a final weigh in tomorrow morning,

I don't really want to do this diet again right now, but Herman is all gung-ho about doing it again, beginning on Sunday. Let's see what I do lol.

It is weekend time and party time, I must now make sure that I still have control to be careful on what happens in the food department this weekend. Are you choosing to have a controlled weekend?

I will post again on Monday, cuz weekends are way too busy with fun!!

sea ya!!

Day 12 of the so called Hell Diet

My next goal to shoot for is 139. omg, imagine that lol. My sister-in-law, Yoli, said "all you have to do is sacrifice yourself for 3 months and you will see huge results", and she was right. Losing weight has to mean everything to you!!

When I got home yesterday, we both were very hungry, so I set the table and brought out all the fruits and yogurt. It is funny how your stomach shrinks, because by the time that I had 4 slices of watermelon, I felt bloated and full. The fruits tasted so sweet!!!!

We ski-walked for an hour yesterday.

Day 11 was complete and successful.

Day 12 is a repetition of day 5. For breakfast, we had black coffee, boiled carrots and 5 slices of ham. For Lunch, we had 2 fish filets, boiled carrots and one tomato. For dinner, we will have one large piece of grilled chicken. I think this lunch has got to be the best lunch of all. The fish was amazing. I seasoned the tilapia with Badia's Complete Seasoning on one side and jerk curry on the other side.....talk about gooooood!

Herman has lost 20 pounds as of this morning. He has also been running 4 miles in the morning. Yesterday, he tried on pants and almost nothing fit him. Salvation Army will be receiving about 30 pairs of pants!! At first, Herman wanted me to put the pants in another closet, just in case. So, I said "just in case of what?????" lol I explained to him, how important it was to get rid of old clothes, so that in his mind, he knows that he will never, ever, ever, fit in them again! I got him to agree, thank God lol

He is so psyched about losing weight, that after he has Saturday with normal eating, he wants to do another 2 weeks of the Hell Diet. I am thinking about it and I just may do it, just to see him lose alot more weight. He has lost 44 pounds in total.

I am looking forward to my ski-walking later on today!! I am hooked lol
