Lilmamibella's journal- trying to lose 50 pounds!! Comments are welcome!

[LilMamiBella]

Today:

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs and a bottle of water

50 mins of cardio with some squats, lunges, and crunches thrown in.

3 bottles of water

Lunch: small Smoked turkey sandwich w/ water

Dinner: We went to a mexican restaurant. I wasn't sure what to pick

So I picked a beef quesadilla with beans and "salad" ( lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and sour cream) had a tea -oops!

I'll be drinking more water..

You're doing awesome. Mexican food is my big weakness. Just remember there's usually a lot of sodium, so the scale might go up temporarily. It always jolts me into behavior!

Keep up the GREAT job!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Sounds great, LMB! Your choices are getting better, and keep it up. That weight will have no chance!

Mexican food is my big weakness too!! We LOVE it, so I frequently make it here. When you make it from scratch (no prepackaged stuff), Mexican food can actually be quite healthy for you!

I see a big difference from how you're handling your eating and that's AWESOME!! One post you said you had peanut M&Ms for lunch and now you're talking about chicken on wheat bread with water! Be proud of yourself...you deserve it!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

You've really changed, LMB. Good going and keep on keepin on!!

You're doing great!!!!!!!!!! Need any help in the exercise area? Need motivation? (Not to sound salespersonish) Come to the May Exercise Challenge, please??? It'll be fun and a lot of people are doing it! Lesli, Shauna, Mary? Will you do this (sorry LMB, I know it's YOUR journal, but this is what I call a "selfless plug" or "subliminal messaging!" Besides, it's good for everyone!)?

The gym I go to is about a 40 minute drive one way! My gym membership ends in October I think. So yeah I could use a little motivation to go there. I hate driving there, but I want to lose weight and I don't want to waste our money either. I'll go check it out, Tigercheer!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Best of luck!!!! Even add, like, squats as you walk around your house. Every little bit counts!

 

[Lesli54]

You are doing well on your food. I understand about the drive to the gym. The Curves that I am signed up with is a good 30 minute drive one way and that puts a damper on me going with the gas prices.

Keep up the good work!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

good luck LMB

 

[mking624]

Come on, LMB...get those exercize minutes up for May!! Woohoooo...you can do it, girl!! You'd be amazed at how much you can do without stepping foot in a gym....walking/jogging in place while watching tv, toning exercises while watching tv, little things here and there while you're doing things around the house...it really adds up fast!

B: 2 hard boiled eggs and a cup of grapefruit juice

S: 1 rice cake with water

L: turkey on low carb wrap with water

D: salad with 2 rolls and a small cup of ice cream with 2 cookies.

Water and more water. No exercising today.
Might go walking with my lab puppy around the neighborhood.

It seems that I always do well in the morning but by late afternoon or dinner it goes down hill. Its hard to eat healthy when everyone else eats whatever they want. Dh thinks he'll lose weight by eating some salads and maybe drinking a little more water with no exercise. My mom thinks she'll lose weight just by doing housekeeping and eating whatever she wants.
I can drink water just fine and usually don't crave sodas. I have a hard time resisting cake, cookies, or ice cream. I'm hoping that this month I can try and go without these as much as I can.

 

[LilMamiBella]

I weighed myself today. And I lost 6 pounds!!!!!! I'm so happy! So, I'm now down to 178. How can I fix my ticker? I'll weigh again on next Monday.
Wooooohooooo!

 

[mking624]

YAY LMB!!!! 6 pounds gone FOREVER!!! Awesome job, girl...keep it up!!!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Congrats on the 6lb. loss!

You are doing really good! Just think, you no longer have 50lbs to lose. Now that must make you feel better.
