Oh Here I Go Again and Again and Again I Swear I dont know what I'm doing I've had soo many Journals I've Tried soo many Different Diets within the Past 11months and So far NOTHING!! Not one Diet I have Tried has helped me Lose any Weight for longer than a week it's usually just water and comes back right away! . So I decided my Last Resort would be to Start My No Diet, Diet Journal....

I Decided I am going for the No Diet, Diet Approach, Just gonna go for what I think is right for myself I cant be on any type of Program because I always screw it up! Eat as Healthy As Possible and Do my Excercise and Hopefully I'll start Losing Weight! I cant be FAT Anymore I just feel like such a LOSER (not in the Good Way) I just cant seem to lose this weight it just feels like I keep getting fatter and fatter! Summertime is almost here and I wanna be out there in the Pool and at the Beach with my Family and I wanna be able to wear a Cute Bathing Suite and look nice not like a BIG FAT LADY!!!

So I got Exactly 30 Days to Drop some Weight so I can look Nice for my Daughters 1st Birthday! Hoping to be at 175lbs, Then I got a Couple more Things I wanna Lose weight for so right now I'm just gonna focus on losing weight for my Daughters Birthday! So I GOT 30 Days!!!! On my No Diet, DIET!

Here I Go................


I Decided to give myself these:up: for Every Good Day I Have and These for Every Bad Day I have:down: ..............


Cathy

Dang I was able to look up my Old Journal's and Post's from 2005 that I had Posted and oh my Goodness I wanted to Cry. Reading all the Post that I had posted all the Happy Posts when I had lost weight back in the Day there were just soo Many Happy Posts and I was soo Motivated and Happy back then...........Wow cant believe how much I've Changes in 2 years!

After Reading all those Post I know NOW I CAN DO IT!!! I did it once before and I know I can do it again I want that other Cathy to Come Back the MOTIVATED, HAPPY, OUTGOING, EXCERCISING MACHINE CAT BACK!

I HAVE LOTS OF THINKING AND LOTS OF PLANNING TO DO AND I WILL DO IT~~


The Old Cat is Comming Back!

~Cat~

Cathy!!!

I too am really having a tough time sticking to low carbing! I never had this problem in 2003 & 2004! I am such a carb addict, because I love breads, pasta dishes and rice (thai food is my fave!!) - all of which are big no-no's with atkins.

I just wrote to Richard (Simmons) asking for help and that I am just quitting atkins because it's not working and I keep falling off the plan. It's better to do something I can stick with and if I keep portions small and to 1 serving and exercise, I think I can do it.

I have 28 days to drop some weight to look somewhat good when we vacation back to Buffalo (where I am originally from), New York.... my son turns 2 on May 12th!

Hey Cathy!

I like the sound of this plan. Seriously, Atkins is not for everyone so don't feel badly if it didn't work for you. I have done it in the past but I don't think I could do it again right now. That first couple of weeks I would have NO energy, and you are trying to chase kids around. Not a good combo. I'm sticking with the low carb for now, but without completely restricting any food. I'm not really eating rice and bread right now, but if I really want some with a meal I will have it. I just try to make sure that the majority of my carbs are from fruits and veggies.

I know you will find what works for you chic--the key is not giving up! Just hang in there and keep trying, and when everything clicks you will be so happy you persevered.

You can DO THIS!!!

Ok so I have not been here in about a week and well Here is a Quick update on how I've been on Friday we left for Camping and we returned on Monday, On Friday I was Ok, Saturday I was bad (so bad I ended up vomiting later in the night) Sunday I was pretty good, Monday I was bad but not Horrible....

Cathy

Heather - We Can Do It!!!, 28 Days is Plenty of time to Drop some Weight, I know u can do it. I got 23 Days (3 weeks)to drop at least 6lbs I know it's not much weight but i'm trying to be realistic I dont wanna say I want to drop 15lbs in 3 weeks cause for me it's not realistic! So Im shooting for 6lbs it'll be nice to get off 10lbs thought!

Amanda - Your Plan sounds really good I hope it works for you! I tried it but ya thats not for me I need lots and lots of energy with a gonna be 5 and 1 year old Kids!!!


Hope You Ladies Have A Great Day!!!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Cathy

Just wanted to Come to my Journal and Vent I'm extremely upset right now, Because, Well let me start from the Beginning 2 years ago we went to this Concert wiht my Sister and Bro-in-Law it was my Music 80's 90's music and we had a ball and my hubby didnt care to much for it but he said it was Ok, Well last year we missed it cause I had just had my Daughter and I didnt feel up to going well the concert is comming around again it's gonna be June 8, My Sister her Hubby my Cousin and her Hubby are all gonna go and well my Hubby doesent wanna go, and I asked him if he could go for me I dont wanna go and be the 5th Wheel I really wanan go out with my hubby and have a nice night but he's being extremely selfish wiht him it's pretty much all about him if he's not having fun then he's not gonna go anywhere so at first he was like well maybe i'll go if I can go out to a Bar and stay till it closes so I was like alright I dont care then we were talking at my Parents house and I had said he's gonna go he's just playing the begging game and I guess that pissed him off and now he said he's really not gonna go after that comment I didnt say it mean or anything thats just how I felt, He's Freaking Selfish!!! It's all about him if he's not having fun he's not going thats how it is at this poing I "HATE HIM!!!! I cant help It seriously hate him, I mean not to sound consided but I do soo much for him (I mean I'm sure most Wife's do this for their husbands) But having 2 small kids and I make dinner every night put his lunch away he always has a good lunch serve him his plate leave it in the Microwave, wash his clothes, put his clothes out for work the follwing day!! I mean I do lots for him and for him to be that selfish and not go spend time wiht me at a Concert that I really wanna go to is Mean I feel sooo bad right now, I've went to plenty of things I didnt wanna go to cause he wanted to go to them and yeah I told him well if I go then we are gonna do this after or whatever but still I went and then we did what I wanted to do, But this time he's really acting like an A**Hole.....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HATE HIM, HATE HIM, HATE HIM, HATE HIM, HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!


Well thats for letting me Vent!

Cathy

Hi Cathy

:hug: :rose: :spring:

Well the Dummy and I talked until 2:30am and well nothing was solved he just pretty much was talking outta his a** saying that he's only in this marriage for the Kids and he only cares about what his kids think of him and whatever he does is for his kids and just pretty much talking s**t, He was pretty drunk so I was just listening to what he was saying and I would throw in a few comments here and there but it was a pretty much point less conversation!

He was even saying that he's tired of me making plans without consulting him first and I realized that I should talk to him before I make plans and that kinda go resolved then he kept saying that he's tired of my Attitude and he's tired of me always putting my 2 cents of whatever he's saying or planning (but I told him thats how its gonna be, you cant just make plans wihtout me saying anything about it) But Whatever..........So pretty much after a Long Point less talk end result was that the reason he's not going to the Concert with me is Because he didnt like the Comment I said at my Parents house *He's just playing the begging game* and thats why hes not going and he said stright out I'm not going for selfish reasons! So I am just pretty much like ****** Him!!! I'm gona go to that Concert I'm gonna have fun I'm gonna show him I dont need him the be with me I can go out and have fun without him, Ya know I did I really tried to get him to go but he's really being a harda** so now I know at this point he really donesnt care to spend time with me w/o our kids so I'm just gonna plan and do things w/o him and we'll see what happenes from there...............

I just dont wanna be the 5th Wheel when we go to the Concert ya know! But Whatever!! Sooooo Fustrated, Sad, Annoyed, Pissed Off I got all these Emotions running through me right now!!!.......The Biggest feeling I have toward him right now is HATRED!!!

And to Top it off our Anniversary is 4 day Before the Concert and ya know what I'm gonna tell him take our Anniversary and stick it up your A** cause there is no point in celebrating when netiher one of us is Happy in our Marriage! RIGHT???

UGH THAT F***ING A**HOLE I HATE HIM!!!!!

So we tried talking again on the Phone when he got to work and well we discussed a few things he's still being an incredible harda** and I am sick of him but I do see his points and I know I do wrong too and I told him I understand where he is comming from and I will work on my Faults, And I told him that he has to work on his faults as well and still he doesent think he has any that he need to works on (Uummm yeah SELFISH!!!! Thats is main thing he need to work on!) I dont know I just thought we could b able to work something out and agree on things but yeah once again it looks like I am the one who's trying and he's still being the Selfish ONe!! Dont know how long this will last but I do know that I really cant take much longer of this and if he doesent change then this Marriage will NOT workout! I mean when we are Happy oh it's sooo nice everything is soooo Perfect but when we are fighting ooooh it's Horrible!...................

On a Good Note I called my Cousin to tell her I was gonna order our Tickets to the Concert and I was making sure her and her hubby were still going and she said he hubby decided not to go, Oooh was I excited I was not gonna be the 5th Wheel, And now my Sister is telling me her husband isnt gonna wanna go with 3 girls so I dont know whats gonna happpen it might just end up being A Grirls Night Out! Which is cool too!

Ya know I was thinking about something he said last night he said he will never leave me the only way he'd leave me is if I Cheated on Him, To me that makes no sense if your unhappy in a marriage you should just end it I know when u have young chlidren it's hard but I dont want our Kids to see us fight and argue they should not have to go through that and I know it must be hard having Parents Seperated but it's not healthy to stay in an unhappy Marriage! Cause the Kids sense the Tension and unhappiness between the Parents................

I dont know he just says some dumb sh*t somtimes....

Well on a Good Note the Diet has been going very well I weighed in this Morning and I was at 187.2lbs.......

Pretty Darn happy about that I got 3 weeks till my Daughters 1st Birthday and I'm hoping to be down at least 10lbs (wishful thinking) But realistically I'm hoping to be down 7lbs...........................

So hopefully I'll be down to 180lbs by my Daughters B-Day, Then after her party I got 4 weeks till I go to the Concert and I'm hoping to be down another 10lbs (wishful thinking) to be at 170 or 172lbs again realistically i'd like to be down 8lbs....., Then after that we are going to Laughlin on Vacation on June 24 so I got 2 weeks to drop hopefully another 5lbs to put me at 165 or 167lbs......Then the Next Event would be my Ultimate Goal my Son's 5th Birthday (he's having a Pool Party) which is July 28, So I got 5 weeks (well Im not gonna count 1 week cause we'll be in laughlin and I dont know how good I'll be.......So 4 weeks I'm hoping to drop maybe another 8lbs would love to drop 10lbs but I'll settle for 8lbs which will put me at either 155 or 159lbs that would be my Ultimate Goal, Well no Technically my Ultimate Goal would be 145 or 150lbs depending on how I look so Pretty much I have 30lbs to lose in a little over 3months hmmmm that seems like much Oh well gonna do my Best!!!!

Have a fantabulous weekend.

Another Day is Done...............Here's How it Went:

Food:

Smart One's Frozen Dinner (Chicken Breast with Muschroom Sauce & Garlic Mash Potatoes)
Couple Bites of Teryaki Chicken & White Rice
1 Plum
2 Liters of Water...Still Working on my Other 2 Liter Bottle!


I know my food was not so
good today, It's cause I was upset about all the fighting and arguing my husband and I have been going through and I just didnt have much of an appetite!


I Just dont get him we argued again today and then we talked again and I was like ok so are we Ok now and he said ya i'm alright but I'm still not going to the Concert and I was like I know ur not the tickets are already bought so u cant go, So it was left at that so ever since he got home from work I have not talked to him well unless I have to and it seems as if he's trying ot be kinda nice which I totally dont understand !! He was a total jacka** all day then when he gets home he's trying to be a little nice WEIRD!! Well I'm not giving in that easy i'm still upset and this is not something I'm gonna get over easily, It's gonna take sometime so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happenes...........I really like being able to just come here and Vent It makes me feel sooo much better to be able to get it out!

Cathy

Well yesterday at my Parents house things kinda got heated first with myself, Mom and Sister they were upset just at the fact that my husband has been acting like such a jacka** about the whole Concert and he's been acting dificult with everyone cause we are all trying to make our plans and stuff when we go on our trip to Laughlin in June and I know he's been acting like a real *****hole , Well the reason it got really heated was cause my Mom and Sister didnt think I should have taken my husband to their house yesterday they said that I should have still be Pissed off at him and that I should have told him to stay home and not come with us and I know when I'm mad I'm mad but the thing with me is is that I get mad but I dont stay mad I will try and stay mad but I just can it's not me I dont like to prolong fights I just like to have it out get stuff off my chest and thats it's and maybe stay mad for a day or 2, Unlike my Mom and Sister they can go Months at a time without talking to their husbands when they are upset but thats just not me nad thats why they were getting on my yesterday cause they felt that I was kissing his ***** by him going with us to my Parents house......

I just dont understand I wish they would just let me deal with my Problems myself ya know let me vent to them let me get sh*t off my chest but dont sit there and judge me and tell me I'm a kiss a&& and stuff for not staying mad at him....It's just with me I feel I need their approval for everything decision I make and I know that I SHOULD not think like that but I do, It's just Hard!

Cathy
Another rule of the I do list. Keep your problems at home come air them here to us. But certainly not to family. A good friend maybe. But Mom and sister that would be a no no. I know this for a fact. when I was in my say first year of marriage those though years. I left and went to mom and heres the reply I got.

Now you get yourself back home get what housework needs doing and have a nice supper ready when he comes in from work. And I don't want to hear a word of you thinking of leaving again. And he better not hear it neither. So glad I listened because once you punch in those first few years the rest is easy. So hand in there girl. And if Mom and sister don't want to mind their affairs tell them to get out of yours. Good luck.

Congratulation on a very good weekend and thanks for stopping by my pad.

Hiya Linda,

Yup you are soo right my Dad told me the same thing dont tell your Mom and Sister about your problems with (Gilbert) my hubby ya know after thinking about it you 2 are sooooo right I need to just come and vent in my Journal or well I've been talking ot my Cousin alot lately too and my Sis-in-law so I think thats enough I know those people will just listen and they wont act like my Mom and Sister!!...Thanks Again for Stopping By Linda *Hugs*

Another Talk last night with the Hubby and it was a really good talk we both came to an understanding and we now can both see where each other is comming from and to make a long story short he did appoligize for not wanting to go to the concert and pretty much if there was a chance for him to go with us he would so that does make me feel sooo much better, And I do wish he coudl go wiht us but I think those tickets are probably already sold out and if he does get a ticket he wont be sitting wiht me anyways........

Now just gotta hope that mom and sis wont bring this up again my mom called me last night nad she was bringing it up to me again and I jsut told her i'm over it and I dont wanna hear it so we'll see waht happenes.......

I'll update on how today goes later.........


Cathy

Wow I totally feel like just binging but I'm NOT going to I guess I'm still bothered by my Mom & Sister I'm just here thinking about everything, and just feeling bad because we usually talk daily and no one has called me yet and I know I should just go ahead an call them but then I feel as if if I do call them then they are just gonna feel they can start on me again about the fight between my Hubby and myself!

I've been doing alot of Thinking and I have decided that I am going to start "The Fat Smash Detox" I really need to cleanse my System of all the bad stuff I put into it! So as of Tomorrow I start my Detox!

So for 9 days I will be eating the Following:

All Fruits
All Veggies (Except for White Potatoes)
Brown Rice
Egg Whites
Oatmeal
Yogurt

There are more I just cant think of them right now!

Tomorrow Starts day 1 of the 9 day Detox!!!

Wish me Luck!


Cathy

So From 4/26-5/4 I will be Detoxing!!! I hope I can last the full 9 days I know it's not even that long but I just cant seem to stick to anything lately!


We'll See!

Alrighty well My DETOX was shot today!!! What is UP with me!!! Dammit well I binged when I got home from the Park today, You ask why?? Becasue I didnt have a Good Breakfast and I have noticed when I dont have a good breakfast those are the days I usually just binge eat, So I already did and now all I can do is excercise later and try and save the rest of my day instead of screwing the rest of it up!


I have Started a "Memorial Day Challenge" it's a Challenge that goes on for 31 Days and you just post all your goals you would like to accomplish daily and any weekly!

I will weigh in on May 1 and hope I can stick to all my Daily Goals!

Cathy

So as I've been sitting here munching on whatever I can get ahold of I was also thinking, The first time around when I had lost weight I was extremely motivated (Motivation was Wanting to Lose Weight so I could get Pregnant) and I was also working at a Womens Only Gym I was there M-F 4PM-7:30PM & Sat 8-12pm So I was not home as much and I was really busy, I would have at least 1 hour a day to excercise and I loved it...............

Here's my Situation Now, I am sure my husband would give me 1 hour if I really asked for it but all I do is go to my Room and get on my Treadmill I get on for maybe 30min but I am constantly inturrepetd my Son is constantly walking in or the Phone is ringing nad i am wondering who is calling or the door bell is ringing it's like sooo much other stuff is going on when I'm trying to excercsie and I just cant totally get into it so I try in the morning when it's early and not that many people are bothering me but then I have my Daughter crying and my son bugging so that doesent work either, On to the Eating Situation well pretty much I'm home all day and I get bored so I eat It's like I could start off the day good nad have myself a good breakfast and lunch and then at night I get bored and there I go in the Kitchen, I just dont have any motivation this time and I'm getting depressed cause Summer is comming up and I wanna look nice in my Bathing Suit, Shorts, Baby T's & Tank Tops but the way I've been going it's not happeneing and it seems like the days when I have places to go like when I'm running errands I just come home and Binge or I'll binge on someting out there......I just gotta get my mind set![/I]

Wow! You sound so much like me! lol You have had several journals, tried this several time. blah blah. lol And then this time I came into it......not actually dieting. I just watch portions, drink more water and exercise more. I keep thinking, "Lifestyle change" not diet!!! By checking out your stats your "No diet" seems to be working pretty well!! Keep up the great work!!

Hello! Sounds like myself. I am at home too but my days are crazy sometimes. With kids and a husband and a house to run its hard. I get my workouts in the morning. I have more motivation and if i do my workouts i dont want to ruin them by eating bad so i tend to eat better if i do exercise. I would talk to hubby about handeling the kids, phone calls, door bell etc. for 1 hr. Im sure he wont mind, as you need time for you to be able to do things for the family.
I also at night have my biggest problems with eating. I can do good all day but since im a night owl i tend to want to eat out of boredom or whatever. Lately i save a snack for night or a hot cocoa i make really hot and it takes awhile to drink and it gives me the choc taste of something sweet.
Your not alone in this. I wanted to be further than i am with summer coming but i sabatoge myself and binge but the important thing is focusing and getting back on track. I will visit you again, hang in there.

I've decided to just take it 1 day at a Time, and Well I'm working on day 1 Today and well so far so good, Just gotta really focus on what I really want/need in my body just gotta keep myself busy so I DO NOT GIVE INTO A BINGE!!!

So far Here's What I've had for Breakfast:

4 French Toast Sticks w/little bit of syrup
Bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios with FF Milk

I know my Breakfast Choices could have been better But Hey! I'm trying!!!


Kayzzee & Angeleyes - Thanks for Stopping By! I just gotta work on this 1 day at a time!


Cathy

Eating Today was Baaaaaad, I ate all the that bad stuff earlier before 2pm. I already have my Evening/Night Planned out we are gonna head out in about an hour to run some errands and then we gotta go pick up my Son's T-Ball Uniform and then let him practice at the Park for a little while. Then I gotta come home and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN My House!!! Then maybe Wash a load or two. Then take the Kids their Baths....

We are gonna have a early/long day tomorrow, The kids and I gotta get up early and be at the Park by 10:30am then his first game starts a 10:45am then after that is all done we will probably hang out at the park then come home and relax and then later that evening we will probably go bowling! That should be Fun!

Ok so I got my Night and Day Planned, Oh and I also bought me one of those Word-Finder Books, So at night I am hoping that will keep my busy and outta the Kitchen at night time!

Okie Dokie,

Cathy

9 days of detox? I take it you're trying the fat smash?I tried that too. I still have the book. It is soooooo easy. But for me, I just wanted to binge allllllllll the time. Every day I dieted all I thought about was my next cheat. I have never eaten so much brown rice in my life. lol I didn't have the willpower for that diet. I've read great things about it. But it wasn't for me. Hope you have better luck!!

Hiya Kayzzee,

I've tried the Fat Smash Detox before and I lasted what 6 days I know it's hard to last 9 days but I would really like to give it a shot and go through each phase, Girl I know what u mean about he brown rice, But I heard they have brown rice cakes and I made the Muffins those are pretty good so I'm hoping to last the 9 days this time...

I'll either start tomorrow or Sunday!

Thanks for Stopping By,

Cathy

Hmmm didnt realize how small that was!

Hi Cathy
I wanted to try and follow a detox but darn they are all caffeine free. I need at least my two cups in the morning and now with the fry stand opened it will be another couple cups while doing pr with customers. LOL. So guess for the summer it will be a fry and burger diet think that will work. Guess I better throw in a few salads in there.
Good luck with the detox.

Caffeine was my main problem with the detox also. I'm addicted to coke-zero like you wouldn't believe. I felt sooooooooo bad my first 2 days. I wanted to mention there is a fatsmash board on Yahoo! that I used to belong to. In the groups section. And its a pretty large group of people. And there are people who actually never ditched the caffeine and were quite successful actually at phase 1, still losing plenty of weight. I get so sick of salads also. I make different kinds and such to try and spice things up. I get different toppings and low cal dressings (and I still only use half). I have to say so far my favorite is the chicken breast salad at subway with cucumbers and honey mustard dressing. And well......the rest of the veggies too. lol Even my sub sandwiches are loaded with the veggies. Aaaanyways. I had better get off of here. You tc and have a great day!!

So I didnt end up doing the Detox Today I totally forgot about starting it and went and had El Pollo Loco...Oooopz! Well it's 3pm and I'm done eating here's where I'm at :

Spoonful of Oatmeal
Chicken Tostada Salad *From El pollo Loco*
3 Mini Ears of Corn *El Pollo Loco*
1/2 Invidiual Size Mash Potatoes *El Pollo Loco*
Few Spoonful's of Rice
Few Fries
2 Popcorn Chicken's
1 Small Dr. Pepper
1 Scoop of Ice Cream & 1/2 Waffle Cone

I didnt think it was soo bad until I wrote it all down well I'm done eating for the day so far I'm just glad I didnt BINGE!! I think over all today will be a good day if I dont binge and I am able to get in some excercise!

Cathy

Hey Linda - The Caffine isn't really a big deal to me it's just the NO BREAD that really gets to me! But tomorrow I'll start....................Hopefully nothing throws me OFF!

Hiya Kayzzee - Thanks Ya I checked out that board once before, Oooh ya I feel ya on the Salads when I was on it the first time, I would have egg whites & 1c rice for breakfast then lunch can of corn & 1c rice and then the rest of the day just much on maybe salads and just fruit fruit fruit!!


Thank U Soo ladies for Stopping By!

Hugs,

Cathy

I think all the info & Support I got from everyone really helped I feel I can and will do it this time! Well TOmorrow I am starting the Detox! I will do my best M-F but Saturday we are going to have the Del La Hoya & Mayweather (I think thats him) Fight here at my House and we are also going to Celebrating my Birthday Saturday as well I we are not going to have anything really bad we are getting a sandwich from Subway so I'll try and do my best. Then to following Saturday is my Daughters 1st Birthday so these next couple of weeks are going to be busy busy busy! The reason we are Celebrating my Brithday on Saturday is Cause on my Acutal Birthday Wednesday (May 9) is because it's gonna be a busy day my Son has school and thats the day I have to Volunteer and we have to be at his T-Ball Practice and then after that take him to take his T-Ball Pictures...So that day we really dont have time to do anything!
Ok so Here are my Daily Goals for my Memorial Challenge:


1. NO Soda
2. Fried Foods
3. Excercise at least 30min 3 days a Week
4. Make Healthy Food Choices/No eating Past 5pm
5. Limit Sweets to 1 Per Week (This one is gonna be Hard)

That was Soooo Sweet of you All:ghug:


So Today I'm back on Track I've really been screwing up lately just cause soo much stuff has been commin up~

Well yesterday was a Nice Day extremely busy though! Well I worked at my Son's school yesterday and he made me the Cutest little potted Plant and this little MOthers Day Poem wiht his Hand Prints on the Side Tooo Cute that was for MOthers Day! Then My Mom took us to Lunch for my Birthday then we went to a couple stores then hubby come home he bought me a new Cell Phone *Love It* and then we had to take our Son to take his Baseball Pictures and by the time we got outta there is was 8pm and it was too late I didnt feel like eating that late so we took the kids through Burger King and I munched on a few of their fries and onion rings and that was it! Over all it was A GREAT DAY! I know didnt sound like much but I really enjoyed myself!

Well this morning I woke up feeling kinda blah! so I though it will make me feel better if I just Detox today and just have water and cranberry juice but then I got hungry and I threw some Tortillias on the Frying pan and started frying them and I had scrambled some eggs and I was gonna have that then I thought about the Calroies and I was looking at it and it was fried in oil so I THREW it AWAY!! and I put an English Muffin in the Toaster and put some Fruit Spread on it and thats Breakfast! I am soo suprised I did that normally I'll just eat it and just say I'll do better the rest of the day or Tomorrow but NOpe not this TIME!!

So I'm gonna think about what I am going to eat for the rest of the day then come back later and Post it!

Today is going to be a busy day Hubby should be home about 5pm he has an interview after work for this Appraisal company he's an Appraisal Trainee he just finished up his Course now he's trying to get his 2000 hours in...So he has an intervew after work then when he gets off I gotta go run some errands gotta get the rest of the stuff for my Daughters Birthday Party Saturday! and Hopefully get some Excercise in , Ooh and I did talk to Hubby about going to Bally's a few day a week and we figured it out I will be going for sure on Thursdays and Sundays and well we are not sure of what other day since he's a busy Man but for sure I will have 2 days in a week I am gonna shoot for 3 just gotta figure out when the 3rd day will be!

Okie Dokie be back in a bit!

Butter (35)
Baked Rice Crisps (110)
Few Bites of Ravaloi & Lasagna (150) Round About!
Smart One's Picante Chicken & Pasta (260)

Ok so thats Where I am at So far I'll update more Later............


Cathy

So I think I may have an Orange Later on Toinght so I'll probably be at a little bit over 1000 Cals for Today!

I Doubt I'll be Counting Calories Tomorrow it's Gonna be such a Busy Day, I'll get up around 6am and get myself ready then get my Son up get him Ready and fed then him and I gotta head out to his Kindergarden Round Up (Kindergarden Orientation) So they will be Giving up a Tour of the School we will be watching a film and then they will test the Kids to make sure they are Ready for Kindergarden if they do not pass the test they Kid will not attend Kindergarden they'll go to Another Program they have at the school that is for Kids of Kindergarden age but not Ready to go to Kindergarden. So I'm hoping my Son does well on the Test! I think the questions that they have for the Kids are if they Can Write their Name and if they know their Shapes and Colors and I think thats it and I know my Son knows all that! So Keeping my Fingers Crossed!, Well that should last for no more then an Hour I hope!

So after we leave there we gotta go to the Park cause it's a first come first serve basis so I wanna make sure we get a Nice Spot at the Park so my Son and I will meet my Hubby and Daughter at the Park and Then we will start setting up and well the guests are supposed to Arrive at about 1:30pm so that will give us more then enough time to get the park decorated and things ready!

Well Hubby and I were talking last night and he's feeling bad cause our Son's First Birthday Party was Soooooo much bigger then our Daughters his was at another Park and he had a Jumper and Snow Cone Machine and we had alot more people there, And our Daughters well as far as more people alot of those people that were at our Sons party are not in our lives anymore so ya our Guest List did get somewhat smaller and well I thought about it and for our Son's Party we spent alot of Money on a Jumper and Snow Cone Machine and he really didnt even enjoy anything he was too small, Well I did look into getting renting a space at another park and getting a jumper and snow cone machine and well the prices really shot up for the park alone it would cost us $100 and we'll get $25 back and for the jumper and snow cone machine that would cost us $350 I just thought it was too pricey and my Daughter is too small for the jumper, So I told hubby lets just take her to Disneyland at the End of This Month and that will be our Gift to Her and for her Second Birthday we'll have it at my Parents house and she'll have the Jumper and Snow Cone machine cause then she'll be bigger and she'll be able to enjoy it!!

Sorry I wrote soo much...........

Well Busy busy busy day Tomorrow!!!

Ok so I'll try my best to be Good Tomorrow


Cathy

Ok Well i'm gonna go Clean up the House Some because I'm sure the Party will end up over here cause I'm sure it will start getting cold at the Park! and Then I gotta go figure out what I am gonna wear Tomororw!


Oooh my Gosh my Living Room is sooooo messy I bought my Daughter some Play Food really cute it's in a little pink basket and this child has it Everywhere!!! It's ok though at least it keep her busy!!

Just a Quick Update the Weekend was Good so far I still got a few Hours to Go!


I'll be back Tomorrow to Update.....


Cathy

So I'm here to Update how my Weekend was well It was pretty Darn Hectic!! Saturday was my Daughters 1st Birthday! and We had her a Party at the Park it was cold and kinda windy I thought it would have been hotter considering her birthday is in May besides that it was nice kinda small mostly family a couple friends, Since it was soo cold we just moved the Party to our House and we opened her Gifts here, She got lots and lots of really nice things, and In a Couple of weeks we will be giving her our Present to her we are taking her to Disneyland!! I'm sure both my Children will enjoy themselves!

Well onto Sunday Mothers Day well didnt do anything really we were just soo tired from our Daughters Party the day before so I ended up getting up and getting the kids ready and we went to see my Mom brought her flowers and visited for a little while then we came home and just relaxed and watched movies the rest of the Day!

Ok so diet wise well it has not been soo good Actually Saturday I was not that bad I was soo busy that I really didnt have time to eat and Sunday ya I was bad and Monday I was also bad, Anyways Monday night I sat down and I was just thinking about my Diet and what I wanna do and well I came to the conclusion that I am going to do low carb again I know I tried it once before and could not stick to it but after I stopped it the first time and I tired all those other diets low carbing was always in the back of my mind so I am giving it anothe shot and this is day 2 of my 14 Day Induction! And well so far Good!!

Ok well I'm off to take a shower gotta get ready my Son has T-Ball Practice Tonight and I gotta head out to the Market to get some Spaghetti I already make the meat sauce but I realized I didnt have any noodles so I gotta go get some of those!


Cathy

Oooh by the Way I wanted to update my Weight I am sad to say that yesterday I weighed in at 192lbs Ahhhh!! I know horrible!! Well now I am working on getting my Weight Down!! Seriously I gotta get this weight off me!

Well I have a Concert I am going to on June 8 so I would like to drop as much weight as possible before then! So if I'm starting at 192lbs I'm hoping to be at 180lbs and I got 23 Days! I know thats not Very Realistic but I'm gonna try my best to get somewhere near there!


Cathy

good luck to u on the low carb diet u are trying. i know u can do it if u stick to it. or try the one i gave u. sounds like you'r kids will love the present.
till later

I'll try and be back as soon as Possible!

Cathy

Ooooh by the way I also bought this cheap pedometer I found it in the Dollar section (actually my son found it) at Target and It works really well I really really like it, Like for the days I dont get a change to excercise (if My Son's watching Cartoons or my Daughter will not take a Nap) I'll just put on my Pedometer and I'll start walking circles around the house or I'll put the Radio on and dance around with the Kids and walk up and down the stairs till I hit 10,000 or more Steps! Thats another source of Excercise I use!

So we are Supposed to go to Laughlin on June 24th I got 3 weeks and I wanna try and lose at least 10lbs but I'd be happy with 5lbs...........


HERE'S MY 24 DAY PLAN:

Ok so I've been Counting Calories Since May 21st and this time it really feels right I actually feel that this is something I can stick with I dont feel like I'm depriving myself of anything I really like, I allow myself no more then 1200 Calories, No more then 200 Carbs, No more then 30g Fat, and No more then 9g of Sugar per Serving of whatever I eat!

So Besides sticking to my Calories Allowance I am still going to drink at least 4 Liters of Water A Day! and do some sort of excercie Daily (Dancing with the Kids, Taking them for walks, Running Errands) I plan on doing that on the Days the Kids dont let me Excercise!

I also plan on not Eating any Fried Fast Food for 24 Days!!! Hope I can stick to It!!!!

So There's My Plan!!!!!

Plan sounds good. You sound as busy as myself. Some days i feel like im running in circles cleaning the same messes over and over, breaking up the same fights my kids have with each other.
Your trying very hard and thats what matters. I read your whole journal and u sound alot like me, i cant stay mad too long at my hubby either. We are together almost 9 yrs and only one time did i not speak to him for an entire day. I also feel i do alot for my guy, like i wash all his clothes, make dinner, clean, take care of the kids, make any phone calls that need to be made, make his lunch for work, and i will serve him his meals and so on but i cant complain as he works hard and does alot for me as well. We have had our times too and do still from time to time. I guess thats whats meant by for better or worse.

Hopefully the vacancy will get filled and that can be one less thing you need to worry about doing. when your talking about exercise channel is it fitness tv? Thats what i have and its 24 hrs a day of different exercises with different instructors, i love it.

well take care.

Hiya Angel Eyes,

Isn't it funny, How we are with our Hubby's?? Oh my goodness I can't believe how alike we are when it comes to our Marriages! It's funny I'm known as the Kiss @ss cause I do soo much for my Hubby (Mom & Sis) call me that, But Honestly I enjoy doing what I do for him and now with him working 2 jobs 12 Hour Days I think he really does deserve what I do for him!, My Mom and Sis are really though Cookies and when they fight with their hubby's ooooh man they can go Month's without talking and to Top it off they will not talk to their hubby's first they wait for their Hubby's to talk to them first! Go Figure I guess every Marriage is Different, How I see it is what I'm doing is working for ME, US!! It will be 6 Years for us on Monday (June 4) So we must be Doing something Right?

Oooh yes it's soo much work with 2 kids I mean I got a gonna 5 years old and another that just turned 1 so ton's of running around for 12 hours a day just me and the Kids!!! Ahhhhh! But I'm learning to do more things with just us gotta keep them busy throughout the Day when hubby's at work I've been taking them for walks to the Stores and we've been having Dance Parties (Putting the Radio on and just Dancing!!) so I like to keep busy with the Kids (It's also good Excercise)

Thanks I'm hoping the Vacancy will get Filled Soooon Too! Hmmm ur Fitness tv sounds alot like mine, But mine's is called Demand and it's different excercise 24hr with different instructors. Oooh there is this one with Bob Harper (The guy from Biggest Loser) it's a 26min excercise mostly Strength and Weights and I absolutely Love It!!!!

Thanks for Stopping By, Wow sorry I wrote soo much!

Hope U Have A Wonderful Night!

Hugs,

Hello! Your right every marriage is different, its whatever works in yours that counts. BTW i am embarressed to say i made a mistake, me and hubby are together over 9 yrs, it was 9 in feb and we will be married 8 in august. My mind does that from time to time, i noticed it today in my previous post and im like wow do i have like alzheimers or something.
I know what u mean about keeping busy with the kids. I have a 17 1/2 yr old who is 2 months pregnant, a 15 yr old girl, a boy almost 14 and twin boys 2 1/2 yrs old plus a 16 yr old step daughter, a dog and a hubby. I should weigh 100 pounds. Yea i wish...
I too love doing for my husband. I know he works hard and does deserve to come home to dinner and his clothes washed and so on. I worked before and still always catered to him. I am a stay at home mom right now but will go back to work in time. My hubby also does tons of nice things for me too. He will help clean up after dinner or at least ask if i need help, if i dont then he clears the table. He will give me massages anytime i want because its one of my fav things, he does a good job and it relaxes me, usually i fall asleep, in general one hand washes the other. My hubby however can be stubborn. Usually i apoplogize first even if hes wrong but he has said hes sorry for certain things, he can be a harda** sometimes too. Men are that way. Now my mom she caters to my dad even more than i do. But my sis who is single doesnt believe in that at all. Well maybe thats why shes still single.
I love watching the celebrity fit club. Its motivating. That guy from saved by the bell is such an a**. Anyways have a super weekend and keep doing what feels right to you in your marriage. You are the one who has to live day to day with your man.

Finally got a Minute so I wanted to stop in and Post a little Bit!

Ok so I've still been doing pretty well I've been counting calories and doing a really good job of it I've been having anywhere from 950-1100 cals a day I find I dont get too hungry lately so I guess thats a good thing!

Well I weighed in at 186.6lbs *On Saturday* I'll weight in again on Wednesday for the 10lbs Challenge! and then I'll weight in again on Saturday or Sunday not sure what day yet! I got on my Digital Scale this morning and it's dead I guess the battery died!!! So I had to get out my old one with the little dial!! So I'll weight in on Wed with that one!


Angel Eyes - Oooh my gooodness we are almost exactly alike!!!! I swear when hubby and I have an argument I am always the one to Appoligize first *even though he's in the wrong* and oh my goodness he can be such a HardA** I really dislike that about him! ,,,Oooh my Goodness you have ur Hands full with the Kids *wow* Twins!!! So how is your Daughter doing?? Any morning sickness yet???

Oooh my goodness Dustin Diamond I absolutely *HATE HIM* He acts like such an A=Hole on the Show!! Other then him I love that Show!!!
