Day 4

 I had a HUGE SUCCESS today actually 2!

First, I was a SUPER WIFE and went to Bojangles for Hubs and got his lunch complete with sweet tea and did not have a breakdown!
Second was I went to Bunko which I almost didn't go (as I was worried that I was so tired and my will power was fading). Elizabeth had made all sorts yummy looking homemade Mexican food that I was totally fine with NOT eating! I had let her know prior to going that I was not going to be eating dinner since I was on a new journey to a better me! I think this helped a lot! I also think that the fact that I have told everyone what I am doing that it holds me accountable. If all your friends and family know what your doing then there is less chance you will stray.

 Don't get me wrong I wanted to try everything.

I didn't.

I'm PROUD!

Day 3

Today seems a bit better. I feel less puffy! I also am not suffering with such a headache as yesterday. I actually had to force myself to drink the last shake yesterday. I really had to choke it down as all I really wanted to do was to go to bed after working/standing for 10hrs! yikes. I did drink it. I slept a bit better last night and I drank my first shake about 8am .  Today went well. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Day 2

(pic from Cosmogirl)

Woke up all night long. Was I hungry, thirsty, delusional from the lack of food?
Had a HORRIBLE headache today. I am sure it was mainly due to the lack of caffeine. I took 2 excedrins (prob not best choice, but much better than drinking a big glass of caffeine). Helped.
I worked all day today and managed to drink 5 (at least) 24oz jugs of water. YEA ME! I had 1/2 my Brownie Bar around 4 (not as good as the Cookies & Cream). It is MUCH easier to be busy. Much. I am hoping tomo will be ok and that I will start getting used to the lack of.
ps AVOID the pre-made Berry Shake (thought it would be yummy. NOT AT ALL. Tastes like medicine.

Day 1

Day 1~
I woke up early in anticipation for how today would go. It's 3:30 and I have had 2 shakes and 36 oz of water, 12 oz of crystal light. I am actually not hungry. This is the hardest time of day for me I usually grab an icy cold coke and a snack. So I think this may just be the best time to eat my protein bar (the 2 or 4 inch bar, depending on the flavor I pick!) The doctors office just called to check to see how I was doing. NICE. My 1st bar, Cookies and Cream is not bad. Kinda like the soft oreo. Think I will save half for later tonight.
I am really tired. No caffeine. No sugar. No calories. No wonder!

Birthday = {almost} D- Day

My Birthday is HERE!

Holy Moley I am 37 years old. I can not believe it. Seems like yesterday when I turned 30. My 30's have been good to me in respect to finding my wonderful husband to having my son, buying our house, living my dream.

My body- not so much.

I have gained a TON of weight and honestly for the past 2 years have done whatever I wanted, eaten whatever I wanted, drank whatever I wanted and it SHOWS.

As promised, tomorrow is D-Day.

No more:

food 

coke or caffeine.

wine

snacks

sweets

NOTHING

I am starting over.

Cleansing.

I am going to drink this

I get 4 per day.

I am going to eat this...

Protein Nibble

once a day.

{7 bars... 1 per day... that's it}

you can't call a bar,

 I mean shit you need more that 2 bites to qualify as a BAR!

No wonder people are losing massive amounts of weight!

I am going from God knows how many calories to 640 liquid calories!

18-28 lbs is my predicted weight loss in 6 weeks.

I am praying this is TRUE!!

Wish me luck.

Are you on a weight loss journey?

Join me.

Let's support each other.

Doctor's Visit!

I went to the doctor and for the 1st time since I had Jack I looked at the scale. MORTIFIED! OMG I nearly pooped my pants. HOW have I gotton this BIG? How? Well, I know how, for the past 2 yrs I have cooked like my life depended on it. I have drank coke (the real thing) lots and lots of sweet tea,and honestly, have not done any form of exercise. No wonder I am FAT! Good grief, I have always had a problem with my weight I got to my heaviest in 1995 and at the time went from a 14 to 8. Then heavier in 1999 14+ down to 10 and now busting out of a 16 (refuse to buy anything bigger) and am AGAIN trying to get the weight off.
I am starting on Monday with a Medical Weight Loss . I am doing the "aggressive" plan. That means I am going to be drinking protein shakes and eating ONE protein bar a day. Yep, you read it correct 1 bar, 4 shakes, NO caffeine, sugar drinks, nothing JUST water & Crystal Light. Here goes nothing!!!

What are you doing to feel better?

Have you lost weight?

Share your story.

Support is the key!!

itching....

Can't believe I would say this

I am so ready to do this!

I am ready!

I really am.

Time has come...

I have a lot of weight to lose and this is IT!

Shocked that it took 2 weeks to get in the the doctor.

Guess, I am sort of getting a head start.

NO MORE SUGAR SODAS!

I am ADDICTED to Coke (a-Cola that is)

It is like a drug and I MUST stop drinking it TODAY!

Wonder how much I can lose in 1 week by stopping soda?
