Update June 2011

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
