So anyone that knows me well knows I am NOT a lover of water. I had worked up to 4-5 bottles of water and was retaining most of it. So for a time I'm trying an experiment. I'm drinking CapriSun's. LOL. That is the start. Much easier to drink and only 35 calories to a pouch. Not too bad. Then I also try to drink plain water also. I have been drinking a Coke everyday. I buy whatever size my heart desires and drink it and then eat/drink all the ice and water. My thoughts are that all that ice makes less soda in the cup. Right? Well, honestly I don't care. LOL. It's working for me and it's something I can live with.
Ok, I live south of Mansfield but I have, for 3-4 years driven past this huge park near Walmart and there are these huge concrete paths that go under bridges, etc. I have been dying to go check it out and so Saturday night we did. It is awesome!!! I walked 3 miles, the paths have quarter mile markers in the path. I walked from the big park all the way UNDER 287, NOT the business/main street but the real highway one. LOL. Where the baseball fields are. It was great. Plus the park on Walnut Creek is in the hat for a wedding location should I EVER find a man. LOL. It is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Has very much potential.
LOL. Well that is all for my writings today.

So yeah, I messed up
OK, so I gained 4lbs in 5 days. Sigh, I'm sure it's the pizza and garlic bread. LOL. It was sooooo good though.
I worked out today for the first time in several days and WOW, I'm dead!!! LOL, I did pretty good over the weekend with my water, I did drink soda's when I was driving but that was because I get soooo sleepy when I drive so I drank Coke to give me some energy boosts. LOL. I did bad with my food most of the time. But thankfully it is nothing irreversible, it's just getting started again.
I'm totally convinced on the whole stress thing also. I am already down a little bit in just having been home 1 day and that was without working out. But the weekend was very stressful and tense. Alot of blood pressure raising moments. LOL.
We are going to start working out and I'm in charge. I love being in charge. Mom said it should be me because I'm studying and researching everything. YEAH!!!
If you want some good listening with tons of ideas search on google for Jillian Michaels radio show. She gives ton of good info!!!
My head is killing me. I forgot my BP meds and I worked out, so my BP is pretty high I'm sure. Stinks but that is how life is. Also, I am only taking my water pills once a week and the prescription is for everyday. I don't want my body to just be dependent on the pills to shed water. So I make my body do it some on it's own.
I just bought Jillian's book, Making The Cut. I've not had time to sit down and really read it yet. It's a 30 day diet book, so I'm going to try it. I want her metabolism book, haven't been able to find it yet. I think she is the bomb!!! She totally knows what's going on.

Finally!!!
Yeah!!!
I hit 222 today. I have had 2-3 very bad weeks. Not in eating/workout wise totally but just bombarded with emotional stuff that messes with my mind.
I was stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks. I was so frustrated because I knew what was holding off more weight loss. I took a first step (I kind of wish I hadn't) but I did and just stepping out and acknowledging that I needed help. Chantry says it's the fact that I took the first step and God takes the second one. Maybe that is true. Because I have had a really good, fun couple of days and guess what??? I lost weight. There might be something in that.

Tonight will Tell the Tell
So last week I lost NOTHING, Zip, Nada!!! I stayed exactly the same. Sooooo, as of this morning I was down .4lbs. I really believe that stress and drama will stop your weightloss now.
I really don't eat at home anymore. I buy stuff and put it in the fridge and if others like it, it will GO AWAY!!! So I eat alot away from home. Except for I can keep my turkey bacon and cheese. You will have to fight for bread and fake butter but there you go. Water? You better hide it in your car.
I am really seriously considering getting my own place. It will make me live on a tight budget and that worries me but at the same time I think it would be good for me emotionally to do that. Time will tell, that is sure. I have actually asked for advice and hope it was the right thing to do. I'm scared to death but we'll see.
I'm joining Jillian Michaels website and cancelling my Biggest Loser membership. She sends out great tips and has an area where doctors, etc write articles. Plus I located her radio show online, it's great and funny too. Some of it is over the top healthy and I am not that far out yet, maybe someday.
I have really been in the blues and had a hard time getting in the groove of workign out. I did go to Cedar Hill and walked the park with my brother and aunt. I have gotten discouraged and with everyone kind of losing interest, I find it harder to do it alone. Stephanie has been doing much better. She is losing inches and is wearing clothes she hasn't worn in a long time so it has her working harder. I've got to pick it up but my life is all mixed up and I have a hard time wrapping my mind around it all and I start getting lethargic.
I ate a taco today from Bueno and a tostado adn a coke, BUT, my breakfast was almost no calories and I have choir practice so I'll be grabbing a snack for dinner so this bumped my calories up where they need to be.
I keep forgetting my vitamins at home and I can really tell. Plus, I had alot on my mind last night and didn't fall asleep. I most of the time don't even realize that I'm disturbed by stuff, but it hits home when I can't sleep. If I don't sleep I have alot on my mind. My brother is being very supportive and is encouraging me to take the next steps I need to take. But I'm scared and wanting to make sure I know God's will. C thinks that perhaps God's will is for me to take the steps I'm scared to take so that I can grow emotionally and become the independent person I need to be. It's hard though to stand up for yourself. I have to do something though, it's really showing in my dieting.
Jillian believes if you have emotional issue you don't deal with it will cause you to put the weight back on. She said people that are a tad overweight is just eating too many of something here and there. People that are over 50 pounds overweight there is deeper issues. I believe that. That is why some of us have such a hard time losing.
I have been really trying to put my focus back on God and let Him heal the wounded parts of me and fill those voids in my life that I have been filling with food.
