Update-o-rama

I'm still having issues with carb induced comatose like states.  Once upon a time it was just starchy stuff that did me in.  Now it's pretty much anything I eat that isn't a leafy vegetable, egg, cheese, or meat.  Sweet anything makes me almost drunk.  What on earth?????

I love being able to pick up a piece of clothing and just tell by the way it feels it's too big before I ever even look at the size.

I love that all my pants are getting entirley too big.  The hubby thinks it's hilarious that I can't keep my panties on and it isnt' because of anything he's up too either.  The ride up  or down but they certainly no longer stay in place.  Same goes for my bra.

I'm a auburn headed lady once again.  The brassy orange blonde went away FINALLY!

I'll post measurements in the next day or so, but interestingly enough they havent' changed all that much.

I'm waiting on some Shakeology samples.  I hear a lot about the product so I've decided to give it a try.  I'm also interested in P90x but not enough so to invest about $300 in it.  Same for the body wraps.

Weight and appearance have become an obsession for me and in a way that disturbs me, but then again not really.  I should have been paying attention all along.

It's sad that a verbal bitch slap is what it takes to wake some people up.

I hate not having a computer

Or internet access.  but such is life when you're broke broke broke!

New weight: 189 lbs!!!!!!!!

It helps to put new batteries in your digital scales =)

Pics are up!



Still weighing in right at 200 but looking a lot more trim.YAY! And that cuucmber salad recipe I tried yesterday needs a little something, I'm not sure what though.  Think I'll experiment a little bit with it before I give my final thumbs up or down.

Peck Peck! Anyone there?

I am still here, still have no comp and it doesn't look like I'll have one for a while.  Finances suck at the moment.

In the meantime I am trying out a new recipe I got online today  Cucumber Feta Salad.  I always taste test recipes before I reccommend them to you.  I also always try to find a way to tweak the recipe to make it even healthier for you.  This one doesn't need much help from what I can tell about it so far.  Maybe I'll add ground flax seed for texture an omega boost.  Hmmm.  We'll see.

I have new pics to post probably tomorrow if I can find my thumb drive as the library comp won't allow me to upload straight from my camera =( .

Unfortunately my weight is stuck stuck stuck at 200.  It doesnt' matter what I do the silly pounds won't budge.  Open to SERIOUS ideas here.

I also have a question to toss out to you.

I'm considering trying a body wrap for the boost of yay! look at that theses things really don't work, lol! experience.  Have you tried these things?  How did you like it?  Did it actually work?  How about Shakeology and BeachBody....whatever the name of the program they're hawking now.  What do you think o f those?  Worth a try to get things going or don't waste my money?

Talk to me ladies and gentleman. Please?

By the way...does that Shop Amazon and Amazon mp3 player ever work?  Everytime I"m on here it's a blank white spot taking up space on my blog. sigh.

Hmmm, those ads

I added an "Amazon Shopping" bar to the side.  It's supposed to have relevant items to complement my blog that are available on Amazon, I'm not sure I ever advocated smoking a pipe on here, did I?  If you watch long enough Jackal Pipes will pop  up on the shopping block.  Oh well.  I guess beggars can't be choosers now can they?

I've added a mp3 clip bar so if you want to listen to music just click on it.  Right now I have  country music available, next week I'll probably switch to rap and hip hop because I am equally addicted to both genres with no sign of it switching in favor of one over the other anytime soon.

On the bottom of my blog there are some interesting little gadgets with seasonal fruits/veggies available by state, just click the drop down and go to your state.  The other is allegedly healthy tips, apparently it is more ads than anything, but I'm leaving it there to balance the blog's look for now.

Do I need to add anything or is it fine like it is?

Stress and Binge Eating

I've been doing all of the above the past few days and I'm over it as of right now.  I feel bloated, tired, sick, and miserable.  I don't know how people manage to overeat all the time.  3 days of eating whatever, whenever, and as much as I want  has made me almost comatose.  Yesterday I WAS comatose.  I ate fried okra and slept nearly 15 hours.  Carbs and my body simply do not get along at all.  I have to pick one of two choices, condition myself to eat carbs again which will result in weight gain again, or condition myself to stay far far far away from most carbs.  The exception being whole grains which don't seem to bother me too much.  Bleached, white cornmeal, which was the coating on the okra, sends me to sleep for a long long time.  I don't like that. So I have made the decision.  No more carbs.

I'm stressed because even after my husband's check was deposited, the mortgage payment came out, the electric bill came out, groceries and gas came out and there was less than 20 dollars left to do us for TWO WEEKS!  My solution was to eat.  I don't normally have that kind of reaction.  I usually dig in and live frugally as possible.  My friend LeAnn used to say I pinched pennies so hard ol' Abe begged and cried for mercy.

I guess ol' Abe has been getting his revenge.  I don't have a penny to my name, or checking account for that matter.  But is that a reason/excuse to wreck/sabotage my weight loss goals?  No.  It's just an excuse. and here I am in the NO EXCUSES Zone.

I have been my own worst enemy the past 3 days.  Bad Bad me.

Finally!

Back under 200 pounds.  This yo yo weight is driving me insane!  I was stuck last year at 220 and there was little to nothing I could do, diet wise, to make it budge.  I added walking to my routine and it started coming off.  Now I've had to add weights to make it move again.  Now I'm going to ask that fateful question, what next?

Proper Diet
Pilates
Walking/Running
Weights

Umm, not a lot left except biking, (meh), swimming and zumba, no where to swim and Zumba just doesnt' appeal to me.

Looks like it'll have to be just advancing to the next higher levels on all of the above doesnt' it?
