Yesterday, finally I started to log my food again on Lose it. And I also realized that Lose it can be connected with Fit bit. So my Fitbit is charged and on my wrist as well.
I bought lots of veggies and organic snacks. My goal is to not eat as much processed foods and lower my cab intake.
Also for my water intake, I put 3 rubber braclets on my wrist and every time I finish my 28oz. Mug I will take one off to know how much water I already consumed.
I've been really busy with work and Lars being sick, so no Gym this week, but I will get lots of walking in this weekend at the Rehearsals for Faire.
I made plans on what foods to take and make out there. Those Salads in a jar a great, on Saturday I am making Chili that I am bringing and just needs to be heated and I know I can eat that. I won't eat any of the other foods. I will have snack bars with me. And I am making eggwhite mini loafs for breakfast that can be sliced and heated.
So cross my fingers this will work.

2014 a new year a new start...
Allright... this is getting serious, I weighed in yesterday and holy crap 273lb. That can't be happening... I never been this heavy. So let's kick this in the ass.
I am a member at the YMCA now and I can do Les Mills classes again. So body Combat here I come.
I am also planning meals better for weekends. I am going to be gone every weekend for 3 months. So I decided to make Jar Salads and have those as my lunch.
I am also trying to not have starch/carbs after 4pm. I joined the Green Smoothie Challenge to get more greens and fruits in my diet and since I replace one meal with the smoothie I add some protein powder to it.
Well that's it for now...

Personal Vent...
I just need to get this off my chest, otherwise it will keep eating at me.
So in the 4 years Beth and I had been friends, she never ever mentioned to be a Supernatural Fan. She said she's watched it but never called herself a Fan. Then when I started watching it, she claimed that she stopped watching at Season 6 cause it had gotten so bad. She also gloated, as always that Jared came to the Qmx Booth at SDCC.
But anyways I digress... when I ended this very TOXIC and unhealthy relationship, I left everything behind. So I had to start new and I found wonderful friends in the Supernatural Fandom. Since I am a fan, I started to make items for the fans of the show on etsy, since there is not a lot of Supernatural merchandise out there.
A couple of months in Beth started to make Converse, which she stole the idea from someone on etsy like everything else she does. She made a Winchester shoe and told Support Supernatural that the proceeds would go to them. AFTER I had been working with them for a while.
Fast forward to NOW... last week Geekabye baby announced that they are teaming up with Winchester Brothers for a give away. Now she is posting pictures of Thomas from a year ago still claiming what a huge fan she is. I really don't want her in the fandom. I worked so hard to make a name for myself. I hope she gets what she deseves and more. Cause FUCK YOU always trying to take shit from people and invade their space if they are successful.

Meal plan and getting a grip...
Allright...
Things are getting frustrating... I really like the fitbit, but I have not seen any positive results this week. I've gained 2lb. and I am not happy with that. I am pretty sure it's due that time of the month. So I am just trying not to beat myself up about it. This is a new week and a new start.
This weeks Menu, remember also I am cooking for a family of 4 and try to cook things that don't take 3 hrs to cook. :D
For breakfast I usually have Oatmeal, or eggs and veggies... Lunch is a Salad most days.
So here are our Dinners:
Friday: Sloppy Joe's (I get low carb buns for myself and use lean natural Beef)
Saturday: Fried Rice (brown rice) with Shrimp
Sunday: Shepherds Pie (again lean meat)
Monday: Steak, Salad and Sweet Potato Fries
Tuesday: Salsa Chicken with brown rice
Wednesday: Spaghetti
Thursday: We are having BBQ at Anika's School for the Prep Rally.

Summer is over let's get in shape....
Well summer was a disaster on the weight loss front, I gained the weight I had lost back. Some of it is my nephews visit, cause of course he wanted to try all the "American" Food. And it was also partially due to wearing a boot (or supposed to) for 3 weeks.
But now school started back up, the kids are not home and I can get to the gym in the morning. I made a meal plan and we are sticking to it. There was a small change on Saturday but that was it.
I also got a fitbit, and I am loving it. It tracks how many steps I take, when I am very active, and I can add my gym stuff, it shows how many calories I burned.
Then you can go online and you can enter you food, which I dig, that was the thing that made me successful last time. Counting calories and working out 5x week. The plan at the moment is swimming 3x and Cardio with Steve 2x week. I also have 2 more conventions this month I am going to and I know I have to be good. :D
So that's an update for now, we'll see how this goes, but I am at a happy place in my life where i finally can start to take care of myself again.
:D

It's been a while...
Where did summer go?
And how come I failed so miserably? Well I know why, cause I didn't really try. I did really well until about 1.5months ago. Then my nephew and his friend came to visit. So we did lots of fun things this summer, but eating out quiet a bit and just not working out.
Then this past week I participated in the most insane online scavenger hunt ever, it's called GISHWHES and it's just insane. So that took up a lot of time. Oh and I forgot my foot was supposed to be in a boot for 3 weeks, but that didn't help at all, and I still have pain. I also noticed when rain is coming our way I am hurting, much more than Austin, but it sucked.
So today I got up and I weighed for the first time in a long time. 268lb. It's ok, I gained 5lb. back, not to bad, so I made myself a healthy breakfast, with eggs, spinach and mushrooms. I also already have a waterbottle filled waiting for me to be devoured. I am also going to the gym tonight with my hubby to do Cardio.
On another note, I am also in the process of moving my online shop again and work on new product. This has been such a blessing as well.
And now the most amazing news... My husband has agreed that it is time to buy an 67 Impala and restore it to full Supernatural Glory. This has been taxing as well. I had 2 already slip thru my hands I hope that soon we'll get the right one.
Now keep going on your regular schedules.
Happy Monday

Frustration
So I haven't been able to workout for almost 2 weeks, I hit a depression and it is getting frustrating. I thought i've been doing good but hell no, I've gained 4lb. I am so tired and pissed off at myself. And then this am I wake up and my left foot where i had the fracture last year is just throbbing. The same spot.
I am calling my doctor today and hope that this can be taken care of. That is the foot that also swells up at random in the evenings.
I have no idea what is going on, so I better get to a Doctor.
I also decided I can still swim. So that is what I will be doing today. I am taking the kids to the pool and while they splash I can do my swim. I can't give up now and I am also tracking my food intake again. I havent logged into lose it in almost 3 weeks and that is not good.
To be successfull I have to track my food intake. So that's what I will be doing.
