ok, my 3rd weigh in was last Thursday and i didn't make a blog about it like i usually would, i apologize. My last weigh in went great, i lost 8 Lbs, doctor told me i actually lost 9Lbs of fat and gained a pound of water, so he told me to drink more water, about 3Litres a day, which i have NOT been following at all!! i drink maybe one bottle of water a day and a few cans or glasses of diet pop!! So i definitely need to work on that!! Also he told me to get in about 115 minutes of exercise a week and no less than 10 minutes at a time! i Need to work on that too, all i ever do is walk (because i don't drive) But i have soooo many fitness games for the Wii but i never play them and i don't even know why! i have Dance Dance revolution that my hubby bought me for my birthday back in may and i used it like a handful of times, i have a games called dance workout, i have Wii fit plus, i have Your shape with Jenny McCarthy, i bought one i never opened called 10 minute cardio, i don't know why i lack the motivation to exercise, i`m sure i would just be dropping the pounds even more than i am now if i just exercised everyday!! Somewhere throughout all of the dieting and lifestyle change i decided to pick up smoking again, i know i know, bad, very bad!! The hubby and i quit back in September 2010, so he is gonna be celebrating a year smoke free in a couple months, and stupid me couldn't even make it a year!! i`m disappointed in myself but at the same time i don't want to quit again:(
Today my scale is telling me that i am 258, last week at my weigh in i was 259, I'm hoping to drop a few more pounds before my next weigh in on June 30th! i must be losing inches though, yesterday was my 6 year old's kindergarten graduation and i was going through my closet like crazy trying to find something nice to wear, everything i owned looked awkward one me (too big)! i finally settled with a pair of brown Capri's (size 24) and a black satin shirt that had a tie under the breast around the back so i just tied it tighter than i usually would, well let me tell you, i was soooo uncomfortable, my shirt kept falling off my shoulders, my pants kept falling down and i had to keep hauling them back up when no one was looking, i felt like a slob! i don't want to go buy new clothes because i plan on losing a lot more! But i went to Giant Tiger yesterday evening and made straight for the clearance rack, i found a pair of jeans in my size, (size 24) for $5 they were really nice, i was going to buy them but then i thought no i should buy a smaller size so that i can use them as motivation to lose weight to fit into them, because they really were nice jeans, usually $40 for $5, cant go wrong!! so i picked up the size 20, like i said my size is 24/25, so i figured in a couple months if i do it right, i will be able to fit into them!! This morning i decided to try them on to see how much weight i need to lose to be able to get them on or zip them up or what not, and they fit, they actually fit!! i could not tell you the last time i wore a size 20!! It feels great!! My cousin is getting Married at the end of August, my goal is to lose enough weight to be bale tp go into any store i want to buy a dress for this wedding, right now i can only shop at walmart, zellers, giant tiger, addition elle and Pennington's, i don't want to buy my dress from a store like walmart ( even tho i LOVE their clothes). i don't want to be limited on where i can shop, so i`m going to kick my ass for the next few months and get myself at least into an XL, since i wear about a 2XL now!!
OH i also wanted to share with you what i had for dinner last night, it was delicious!! i don't have the pic right now i took it on my hubby`s phone and he is at work, but they all had Pizza for dinner and of course i was craving it sooo badly, so i made my own!! i have this crepe mix i got from the Dr.Poon store, it has 0Net carbs, so i used that as the crust, i just made it thicker like a pancake instead of a crepe, then i sauteed up some green pepper, zucchini, and and chunks of chicken breast, i spread some Walden Farms Tomato Basil sauce (also from the store at the clinic) then i spooned on the toppings from the frying pan and topped with some shredded allegro cheese and baked it for about 30minutes until the cheese was melted and the crust wasn't as soft anymore! This was one of the best things i have ever eaten on this diet, i almost felt like i was cheating, i will definitely be making that again!! i will post the picture once i get it off of hubby's phone!
Anyways thats my blog for this week, i will let you know how the next weigh in goes!!
Thanks for taking the time to read

A month into my new lifestyle
Ok, so all my freaking out about not losing enough,
I had my appt, and while waiting in the waiting room i thought, omg i have to pee, i better do that before i get weighed in, i don't want my full bladder to effect my weight loss, so off i go frantically searching for the washroom because i want to go pee and get back before they call me in, i find the washroom, do what i need to do, wash my hands and was ready to leave with my wet hands because i didn't have 5 Minutes to dry my hands under a dryer, but they had this new age hand dryer which drys your hands in like two second, modern day technology is fascinating, anyways, i get back to the waiting area and the nurse or assistant or whoever she is picks up a clipboard and calls my name, so in i go, she told me when i was ready to step up on the scale, so off came my flip flops, off came sweater, even took my sunglasses off my head, as i stepped on the scale i was very tense at first but it quickly came to me that i may appear heavier if i tense up, so i quickly relaxed my body, when the scale beeped, i was afraid to look, expecting to only see 273 or 271 at the very least, but to my surprise, 267, i was ecstatic...This was June 2nd and when i 1st weighed in on May5th i was in the 280s, so i flew out of the 280s into the 270s and now the 260s...feels good, i cant wait for the days i once again enter ONEDERLAND!! i LOVE that term (it means your weight starts with a ONE) for most people that's all their weight has ever begun with (expect when they were a kid) for for an overweight person, entering back into ONEderland is something to celebrate over, i hoping i can get there by Christmas time but no rush, i have been carrying this weight around for a decade now so it really doesn't matter how fast it comes off, as long as it comes off!!The way i look at it is, it took me 10 years to get this big so if it takes a year or two or three to get it off, so be it!! Since the weigh in, i lost another LB, so im officially down 20Lbs! and To me it doesn't look like alot, whats 20lbs to someone who was almost 300! But people are starting to notice, i actually had an o;d co-worker see me across the street and we yelled Hello at each other through the traffic and i heard her say, omg you look great, you soooo skinny...all i did was LOL a little, i know im not SKINNY but that was nice of her to notice iv been losing, couldn't tell you the last time someone called me Skinny! Also Ran into a friend yesterday that i haven't seen since before i started with Dr. Poon and she said, wow you look amazing how much weight have you lost.. i talked to my sister who i see all the time and asked her, what is everyone seeing, i don't see myself as anything different...she told me that i looked cleansed, i appear to be much healthier and you can totally see that in my face...it feels good!! i cant wait to get closer to my goal!!
i bought myself some more stuff from the Ontario nutrition store at the office, this time i got myself some snacks, like jerky, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate some pepperoni sticks, some chocolate, got some spaghetti sauce, bread, cheese, cereal...to get me through, next time I'm buying ALLLLLL snacks, i find it hard when I'm out and i get hungry because there is nothing i can have, i cant just buy a snack from the store! Yesterday we all went to walmart and i didn't eat lunch before we left so i was starving, so my kids had a wrap from McDonalds and i scanned that menu for something i can have, then i noticed a Cesar side side, i would just not use the dressing or cheese or croutons and add grilled chicken, and so i did and it was soooo good but i want to avoid eating out because I'm not in control of what is put into the food and i don't want to sabotage my weight loss because they put too much sodium or something into my food...
Today I'm going to sit down a plan out this weeks menu, know what I'm cooking everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner, i heard from fellow Pooners that it makes your life 1000x easier...so I'm going to give it a try
Anyways, I'm feeling kind of hungry as its 10 o Clock and i still have yet to have breakfast so im gonna head to the kitchen and see what i can throw together.
so until my next entry
Bye bye and thanks for taking the time to read:)

Tomorrow is my 2nd weigh in
Soooo,
Tomorrow i go back for my next weigh in since i lost my first 12Lbs..im really worried because the Dr told me to lose 6Lbs or more and my scale keeps saying im between 271-274Lbs, i was 274 after my last weigh in, so my dr is expecting me to weigh 268 or less, i dont understand why the weight isn't coming off, i had a couple bites of things i shouldn't have up north the weekend after my weigh in, but after that weekend i came home and realized i didn't lose a pound, so i never made that mistake again, i became very strict with my phase 1 diet and i even added the gym into my routine for an hour 3-4 times a week and when i wasn't at the gym i was walking around town...the last few days i have become so discouraged that i don't even feel like eating:( yesterday, i only had breakfast and a few little snacks throughout the day, then after i cooked dinner for my hubby and kids i went to the gym for an hour and a half...today i have a few errands to run and they involve quite a bit of walking!! well my 6 yr old and 15 month old are impatiently waiting to go for a walk, so i will write another blog tomorrow after my weigh in, maybe friday morning depending on how im feeling!
Thanks for taking the time to read!!
