Competitive

This might be a HUGE flaw of mine... But I'm really curious to see how I'm doing in weight loss compared to all of you, challengers!!! I talked to Priscilla last night and asked her if she had weighed herself yet and she said no. She doesn't want to! WHAT?!!! I need motivation! If any of you have lost more than me or are close to losing more than me... then I need to step up my game!!! I guess it's because I've played sports all my life, so now I find it "healthy" to compete in everything. ha ha ! Anyway... If you guys don't want to tell me how much you've lost, then here is my new prayer...

Work it Girls

When your hungry

When your hungry things that use to not look so good or even be edible now somehow kinda look really good and really edible. I mean if you would have paid me a million dollars last month to eat a celery sick I would have turned you down but since I have been doing this "get in shape' challenge I wouldn't think twice- give it to me and no one gets hurt! The fact is- Im hungry and even though I am eating now (read the post below) I still could probably eat a lot more than I am. Im restricting a LOT. I saw this picture below and it kinda made me laugh because one's mans treasure is another mans FOOD. Seriously, dont even think about putting this in your house because it would be gone in an instant! Im getting hungry just looking at it!

Whats going on with me

So the second day of the fast was hard. My head hurt, my tummy growled and I was super hungry. When I started to get dizzy I thought- is this really worth it? Is this really smart? The whole point of starting this isnt just to be skinny or feel better about my body. It's about being HEALTHY, about changing the way I eat and how I do things. So even though I think I might not lose a million pounds doing it the healthy way I know I am gaining a lot more! A really healthy life!

Trust me, to me its easier to go without eating! Yes starving because thats how I am use to losing weight. I once went on about a 2 month diet eating hardly anything, borderline anorexic, and I lost over 30 pounds. In the back of my head there is that little voice that once haunted me that says, what the heck are you doing. You could be losing so much more now if you just stop eating and its a challenge for me but I know if I want to be a healthy, hot mama then I have to do it different this time. Im so lucky to have so many girls to do this with and Im thankful for you all!

So after battling with my mind I decided I would eat. I went to target and got some healthy things for my meal. What did I eat that night??

Brown rice

Fish

Broccoli with a light sprinkle of cheese

Salad

It was a good meal, made me full and I felt super good about my choices. This week I have lost about 7-8 pounds and now that Im eating Im ready to start working out!

Anyone want to go with me? :) 

Not as easy as it looks...

Hey Hot Healthy Mamas!!!

So, I'm writing today to get some feedback. One of the hardest things for me lately is what everyone ELSE is doing around me. Chris had a DELICIOUS looking Chicken sandwich from JACK IN THE BOX last night for dinner. I can't even tell you how bad I wanted that sandwich! Or even just a bite... a small little nibble... a lick.. ha ha!!! And here at work, when lunch time rolls around, I can hear the microwave going and I'm thinking to myself "I wonder what they are cooking... maybe it's a nice warm bowl of soup or maybe a mini pizza or even some yummy leftovers like spaghetti!!" Oh man... it's hard!!! But then, I look up at Colton's picture and remember why I'm doing this....... A healthy mama is a better mama!!! :)

Anyway, thought these pictures really pertained to me.... or us!

(This was basically me last night!!)

(maybe our next weigh in could be like this??)  :)

(I'm thinking about doing this to help me later on in the challenge!)



Anyway, Hope you are all doing better than me and your thoughts aren't getting to you!

I love You But Your FAT

If you are ever in need of encouragement, don't...I repeat don't ask your kids for any because they might deliver the painful truth like this little girl!

Detox

Ok so Angelina and I decided we wanted to start this challenge off right. We both wanted to get rid of all those nasty things that are in our body and start this challenge off healthy from the inside out.


Angelina found a detox diet that you can make from things you find at Henry's Market. When she showed me the list of what needed to go into this drink...um I'm not going to lie...Seriously?


Apple juice, water, whey protein and Psyllium Husk...WHAT THE HECK IS Psyllium Husk? This combination is suppose to magically make my body feel healthier? More energised and all around better?


Today is day one, Im grumpy, HUNGRY, have a headache and all I can literally think about is making myself some warm soup and something simple like a grilled cheese! :) Hey Im being honest here.


I hope tomorrow is easier because all I want to say is Is this over yet?

But to be truthful, the drink didn't taste that bad, I mean it really beats that Master Clense with that super gross, nasty, disgusting, red cayenne spices. EW

More to come! How is everyone else doing? Leave a comment!
