So I went to Cantina Laredo and had a wonderful time..I ate a lot of random stuff and it was nice to be treated so well in a restaurant. Cantina Laredo is considered to be one of the nicer spots to eat in my little town. My "friend" and I aka the friendly giant went after church. We ate for free and the chef kept bringing out loads of food to the point where we had to say stop. We had sandwiches, apple pie, salads, nachos it was an all out feast. I had to drink A LOT of water and I made a cautious effort to start the week on a high note. I am totally OFF THE WAGON..but I bought a bunch of groceries and I'm on it. I bought my first honey crisp apple and I plan to sample it today, I also got some PB Puffins and SO FAR SO FREAKING GOOD! Love them little puffed treats and the puffins are pretty cute as well;) So this muffin top is still there but I'm at least acknowledging that it must be gone before December 18th. I believe 3 pounds a week are in order and LOTS OF WATER, SLEEP AND EXERCISE!!!
My dissatisfaction is all in my core..my stomach is one roly poly mess but I guess eating less carbs and cardio will help I'm just impatient ahh well back to good ole' billy for me:)



check out some pics!!

so yeah I lost my post on this evening..but this is a teaser..so stick around and I'll give you the full deets later on this evening;)

Meat Vs. Meat

ahhhh so I stopped eating meat for a 2 weeks and I was enjoying it. I started eating meat and I broke out, found myself frustrated and was just having some major stomach issues. So I guess I should lay off the beef and chicken and try enjoying some more veggies and fruit. I was totally bloated and I feel like I've gained some weight and my workouts haven't been as consistent and hard as normal. This coming Sunday I plan to write out a schedule and stick to my food plan. Less eating out and more salads, fruit and whole grains. I really want to hit a solid 6 by the second week of November and a 4 by January! I totally miss my Green Monsters and I may have to totally want to get rid of this stomach and I know I have get focused if I plan to lose it. Friends and associates will derail you with every chance they get so I have to really watch what I put in my mouth. I also have to up the workouts a this week..I said it last week but clearly that didn't happen ha! Oh well I need to lose the hip and stomach and I'm going to DO IT!!

yesterday I ate:
-3 Reece pieces mini chocolates
-4 ribs
-roll
-watermelon
-Cliff Bar
-Triscuts 1 serving
-3 litres of water
2 cups of Green Tea
7 jalapeno chips

WHAT KIND OF FACKING FOOD JOURNAL ENTRY is THIS!! hahahaha

ahhh Supper Club

So again another week of eating HAWT CRAP! here follows a run down of my food..

I had a gyro which was pretty good with my new intended
I had a chicken biscuit and 2 eggs at Wild Rose Cafe and it was freaking delicious!!
I had 2 Chai Lattes from Angel's Cafe THE BEST CHAI I HAVE EVER HAD
I had a crazy good dinner at Catina Laredo..I had 2 chicken enchiladas with some rice and green beans TOTALLY GOOD..but the best part about it is the Apple Pie with cinnamon ice cream and HOT FREAKING BRANDY BUTTAH..lord have mercy it was soooo good..,,then yesterday I had a huge burger..this had been a BAD WEEK but I did have some veggies for Sabbath dinner and that was a first. I think I've been eating out way too much and now that a certain friend is gone I will be do much better..I'm sure I have no lost any weight this week and I'm resisting the temptation to actually weigh myself. I do have a PRAISE REPORT..my size 4 long and lean jeans from the GAP..my go to for weight loss and it fits over my bum. It can't button mind you but its all core issues my stomach which is always the last thing to is laughing at me. I think I have to do more veggies, no meat, and 2 sessions of cardio a day..Ahh weight loss journey. I also have to up the water and just get back to my old self and buy some groceries!!

EMO

Yesterday and today were rocky days..gee Louise.
-So I'm totally blind I have a degenerative eye disease called Keratoconus and its slowly ruining my vision. I found out today that my vision has gotten worse and that this disease will literally send me to the poor house. When I think of my bills I automatically think about marrying Akeem and saying "Fack It".
- I totally hate my job and I'm tired of not getting paid..long story too sad to recount.
-I am falling out of love with "Old Man River" so quickly its shocking to me
-I'm signing up for boxing classes
-I miss my blender very much and Green Monsters
-I miss my mother terribly and I want to go home
-I cannot wait to be a solid size 4 again, I'm enjoying my workouts and running every night esp. while listening to "Thriller"
-this guy who frequents my office likes me
-he's HUGE lol
-I need to find a second job and maybe even a third
-I want to move to California
-I hope God sends me some mayjah signs soon I'm getting quite restless

Shape Up

I've kind of fallen off the wagon..I did mention that in my last post. I looked over my diet and I have been eating some ish that is totally out of control and not in my plan. I do commend myself for at least realizing that I'm eating junk and making a concerted effort to stop. I believe that once you start eating junk food you start to crave it and of lately I've been craving it badly. I do believe part of this has to do with my cycle but I think in lieu of my personal life eating crap has just made me feel plain good. I tend to stress eat so I have to be very careful of what I eat and my portions. I also find that my sleeping habits are out of wack again so I have to be more diligent in making sure I'm actually laying down by 11:30 no later than 1am.

So yesterday my meals included

Green Tea
5 spoonfuls of Oatmeal

Jason's Deli Bird to the Wise/ SO FATTENING but tasty. I ate the sandwich in two parts..and I also had a bag of chips and a serving of steamed veggies. I plan to buy some groceries today because I've been eating out like crazy and I rather be in control of what I eat. I also had about 7 peanut-butter saltine sandwiches and some jolly ranchers and peach tea..

so yeah I need to quit and start eating much cleaner. Fruits & Veggies minimize the carbs.

I'm still working out I wish my thighs and stomach would get smaller I feel so hippy but I know I can lose the weight I just have to watch my intake and try walking a few times a night.
Today is a busy day so off I go..wish me luck with my meals and my overall health:)
