Subway...eat fresh!

How much more fresh can you get with a veggie delight on whole wheat with nothing on it. It was actually pretty good. The headache came back for just a few minutes this morning. As I got moving and the kids off to school it seemed to have disappeared. Friday is my weigh in for this week. I will be curious to see how things are going. I have a body bugg that is showing me my activity level which I like. It is nice to know just how much excercise you are getting in a typical day. But it also tells me when I am being a bum!! Not liking that reality so much. Just gotta keep moving. With a new house to clean and 5 kids....I should be a rail!! Still sugar free...and soda free. Feeling FREE!!!!

Seek and Find

Today my big to do...is to find a receipe for dinner that is healthy...but that all (7) of us will like. I have some beef in the freezer that is grass fed cattle from Brians ranch. There are some weird cuts that I haven't heard of. Who knew a cow could be cut in so many different ways? We are going to Union in June to buy another one at the stockshow so I need to get through what we have. There is a website call allreceipes.com that I am looking at. If anyone knows of a good receipe site...let me know. I am feeling very good. Not as tired as I was over the weekend. I am still soda...and sugar free.....I love it.

Headache is gone

Whew! I am so glad to have awaken without the headache this morning. I really do feel good. I am eating more natural foods. My biggest problem is finding good receipes. I know that it will take some time to find "favorites" but I am determined to make this work. As of yesterday, today and tomorrow....I am soda free and sugar free. I didn't know that an orange could taste so sweet. I am mindful of what I am eating. I will get on the scale friday to see how the weight is. I am not as concerned with the weight as I am about how I feel. I do feel "lighter". Thank you Sherry for the "love"!!! To my followers...go to ....fitmania.blogspot.com

Still have headache

Well...not as bad as yesterday but the headache is still there. I felt a bit out of sorts not really knowing all that I am doing yet. This is a slow and steady process. I am drinking my water...adding a bit of lemon. I am reading the labels....if I read a label and don't know what the ingredients are???...or can't buy them to eat...then I won't eat them. How is that for all natural?!!! I know it is hard now...but I also know that it will get easier. I have to get the sugar out of my system. We all proclaim to know what is bad for us i.e. alcohol, cigarettes, over eating....how many of you would smoke a cig just to have a soda (equally bad for you if you did the research). So...when I "feel" like I have to have a soda...I must remember that I have to have a cig too..UMMM no brainer....not doing it!! I know that my mindset will shift as long as I do this. Before too long it will be part of who I am. Wish me luck!!

Not the worst headache...yet.

I woke up this morning with pretty bad headache. Amazing how not drinking soda will do a number on your head. I grabbed something for the ache and reached for some almonds and raisins to get me going. Didn't want eggs this morning so had an orange and some "crab meat". I am not sure why...but it was good to get me started. Water is my friend. I am in control and it feels great. It is only noon...but so far off to a good start. I will check back in later....

A Long road back......hmmm

Today I was inspired. I have this friend....I absolutely love her! She has inspired me and is going to be my guide through this craziness of weight loss and control. I will fill you in on who she is when I get her permission to...and...after not drinking soda and getting off sugar....I might not love her absolutely...(just kidding friend). So here it goes. Not just again...but...this time...not like the rest. I am sugar free!!!! Pop is not my friend....I am. I am in control. Food is not! I feel great!!

Body Bugg

I struggled this past month in getting a grip on my calorie count as well as my exercise. I got a body bugg during the last week of January and FINALLY I can track my exercise and intake of calories and it makes more sense to me. During the last week that I have been on the "Bug" (I need to give it a name), I have lost 3 pounds. Considering that was my goal I feel very good about it. I am now used to wearing it on my arm and wrist to help me know if I am on target. I didn't realize how much mindless eating that I was doing. Everything...and I mean everything that goes into your mouth is calories in. If you don't counter act that my exercising then you won't have a deficit and you won't lose. I am now seeing a deficit and I love watching the computer graphs show my weight loss. This weeks goal....3 more pounds...I will let you know!
