THU 3/31~ & that is all she wanted really?

So last night at about 11pm guess who started yowling at the top of her lungs for hours on end? ~Gina... at 2:30am hubby said if that dog doesn't shut up soon she's going to go back to the Midwest Pug Rescue MN, as she'd really been cutting into our sleep during the week now. REALLY  REALLY makes me rethink even wanting to have a kid since Gina isn't even 1/2 as annoying yowling as a baby would be.
So at 2:30am we both got up & sacrificed Madge our pug to Gina. Madge had been comfortably sleeping in the dining room in her kennel & was like *whine* can't you get her to shut up? She was cutting into Madge's sleep as well. Moving Madge back into the mud room resolved the problem 100%. Now we just have the fear that Madge will eat Gina's poo now & the vet STILL hasn't gotten the results back yet from Tuesday 9am. It's ok, as if she did have something she'd already been wormed partially on Tues & it might not be as bad. They are like best buds so hopefully Gina will pick up on going potty outside soon watching her big foster sis do it outside.
Breakfast 9:30am~vanilla MRS in my new shaker bottle with wire wisk ball. Worked AWESOME. as I'd had some problems with that flavor dissolving completely. Now resolved. Grape Spark.
Snack 11:45pm ~ 1 serving cashews & 1 of dried raspberries.
1pm lunch~ 1HB egg, 1 clementine, 1 choc. pudding/mousse 120 cal. snack. 15 carrots & salmon dip.
Tried this Ocean Spray Cran-grape 5 cal. drink mix... my stomach isn't settling nice. Must be the red 40 or something in it. I don't think it's the carrots & dip...

5:30pm~ grape Rehydrate~ Catalyst (15 min prior) 55 min. of Zumba at SNAP Fitness Bluffside.Didn't take anything else stomach still hadn't been feeling the best... figured it would be good to hold off, ok I forgot... but seriously with like 3 hours of sleep... I felt I was functioning pretty good. Looks like I got 2nd place for week 4 in the biggest loser... but there is no prize or recognition for 2nd place... Looks like I need to be good as I also missed my weight goal of losing 10 lbs. this month by 1.2lbs. I've currently lost 7.9% of my body weight in about 5 months. I'd not thought of doing a % until a person doing WW mentioned it.

Dinner~ 8:30pm 1 serving leftover chicken, .75 c. rice & tomatoes, 2c. salad with some green olives & Italian dressing. 
I was full... so I'm like well there is lunch for tomorrow.
Near bedtime~.5c low cal. juice with 1tsp. L-glutamine.

WED 3/30~

9:30Am Choc. MRS...oh yeah... MMMMM & grape Spark until 12:30pm.
Lunch 12:30pm low cal. tomato/basil wrap with rice "non-cheese", 3 thin slices organic roast beef & Tbs of guac. & 1 clementine.
Personally, would have rather had a 2nd MRS... which is a horrible for me to be saying since real food is what they recommend eating. Perhaps the last week of the SNAP biggest loser I might do it... but seriously... MAN those shakes are not only yummy & good for you but also filling too.
3:45pm toying with the idea of a snack... will go for the carrots & salmon dip in the fridge. Not very hungry but should have something since 9pm could be my anticipated dinner time tonight which is too long to wait really. Nibbled on them until 4:15pm. All done stopped all by myself & no mindless eating. :) I had about 10 baby carrots.
        Catalyst & Rehydrate for SURE since I have 30 min of Zumba in the Circuit at Curves Holmen followed by 1 hour of Zumba Toning at Shake N' Shed followed by ANOTHER hour of regular Zumba too! I doubt anyone's going to come to the 7:15pm but you never know...
ok so about 1.5 hours of Zumba at Shed happened someone did show up late for the 1st part & left early So it worked out well. Ended up doing all Toning so now my obliques are sore again. .75 scoop grape Rehydrate.
Grocery shopping at Woodman's afterwards to do my quick lap o' the store in search of sale items to pick up some fresh stuff & see what's all on super deep discounts right now & found some good lettuce & more for only .99 a bag & inlcluded Italian dressing for the hubby too! I don't really have the "hungry shopping" as my stomach isn't NEARLY as growly & my self control/will power has improved 90% from what it had been
Dinner 9:15pm ~left over chicken, rice & tomatoes & lettuce with Italian dressing on it & a few green olives. 1c. chai choc. milk, 1 scoop choc. brownie ice cream & 1Tbs caramel.... Hey when I do 2 hours of working out I feel like I can splurge on a few days. I know I'd lose weight faster if I didn't, but there's becoming less & less foods/drinks that taste as good.
& .5c juice with L-glutamin tsp. in it later on.

Tues 3/29 What a day

OK, so lots of dogginess going on. Gina (our foster pug apparently) thinks the appropriate time for 2 nights in a row is to yowl from 11pm-3:30am. I am not  questioning my desire to become a parent possibly next spring. WoW with only 2 days of lack of sleep after 3 weeks of not great sleep having been sick I'm like how do people do this for like 6 mo. with a baby??? That & apparently our dog went to doggy-daycare at 1 of my bosses wife's house & pooped on their rug again. He asked me if I trained the dog to do this, or fed it chili or something.
Dog tired, today pun intended. Did manage to get Gina to the vet & she's pretty much all cleared with health.
9:30am choc. MRS followed by a much needed 11am grape Spark 1/2 serving.
Lunch~ low fat tomato wrap with 2 thin slices of organic roast beef,1 slice of rice cheese & 1 Tbs. guac.
2pm snack~ 1 clementine
4pm~ 1 small amount of sea salt natural cashews & another .5 serving of grape Spark. I hope i'm not doing it too late in the day for me but I really needed it. Not a substitute for sleep but I still have to make it thru
30 min. Zumba in the Circuit at Curves Onalaska (instructing so basically 30 min Zumba)
WoW am I sore from 1.5 hours of Zumba Toning yesterday. :( The sides of my abs in particular ache.
8pm~ dinner leg & partial thigh of rotissarie chicken, 2c. salad with French dressing, HB egg & 6 olives. .5c. rice & tomato. 1.25c. dark choc. almond milk. 1 scoop choc. ice cream & 1 Tbs. caramel (yes, there is still more left but I felt I needed it tonight.)
 .5 c. low cal. grape juice & 1 tsp. L-glutamine

Sun & Mon 3/27 & 3/28 Biggest Loser again?

ok so since i'm behind, I'll try to make this quick.
Sun.  I was up EARLY as the mill pug was yowling which got Madge our pug yowling most of the late AM at least she sleeps in until about 6:30am. After that I was able to sleep in until about 9am.
11am~ no cheese dairyless blintzes  YUMMY! with a bit of strawberry preserves on it. (2) low-fat maple turkey sausage links (2) Bio-charge to drink (baby boomers) energy drink I had to taste it as if it tasted bad I couldn't possibly recommend it right? Tasted like blackberry tea. Personally, I think Oasis was better tasting if your going to go that route but it's what works that really matters. It did. No nappy time for me or even the desire too. 3pm (Yeah, I forgot to eat that long into the day) Chicken breast marinaded & .5c. Trader Joe's sweet potato gnocchi. 2 pieces of dark choc. almost gone... & guess who ISN'T the one hitting it hard... ME! Left my green beans in the nuker & had to put it in the fridge as I was running late for 45 min. Aqua Zumba & kept forgetting I was supposed to be eating lunch. Dinner 8:20pm~ Slow cooker rice .75c & frozen tomatoes & 1 serving beef brisket (fat cut off) 2c. dark choc. almond milk, Rehydrate later on & pure glutamine. 1 tbs. caramel & 1 scoop ice cream. It wasn't a Mon, Wed, Fri or Sat. so I'm like OK I deserve this after my Aqua Zumba tonight.
Midnight~ Poor Gina pug is yowling for love & attention... good thing there's closed doors & I sleep with a blanket over my head. You'd think having lived in an Amish barn your whole life you'd go to sleep if it was dark? I just feel so bad & mad that someone could do something like that to such a cute & sweet animal.
MON~ 3/28 Weigh in is tonight at SNAP lets see if i'm a big loser again. ;) AM~ Grape spark, choc. MRS. Lunch 4 TJ's salmon & spinach crepes & 2 clementines. Late afternoon snack 4:15pm Berry Protein Shake (Nutrilite brand) we'll see how that tastes later on tonight. It was acceptable but not as good as the choc. Advocare shakes or even the berry (comparing apples to apples)
5:20 Tan & weigh in at SNAP
6:15pm Zumba Toning at Shake N' Shed
7:15pm hope that people come to my 6:15pm instead as there is a 
HUGE Advocare mtg. tonight at 7:27pm in the big mtg. room at Stoney Creek Inn. VP of sales from TX will be there giving a lecture! He's the one responsible for getting most of the NFL teams interested in Advocare. Marketing & business promotion is just right up my alley being a FT graphic designer. Of course when I for once don't want anyone to show up there will be just TONS. Reaping from the nagging on FB to come join me! Don't forget to get in YOUR workout today. It's 1 of those "Lifestyle" tools that's just as important to do! Caught the tail end of the mtg. ended up doing about 1.5 hours of Zumba Toning.  I had a little bit of gnocchi & something else but now I don't remember. It wasn't a whole lot of food at all & 1 dark choc. was in there somewhere today after I got home.
I almost forgot... SNAP weigh in was 3lbs lost for the week. At the time I was AGAIN for the 2nd week in a row possibly going to be the biggest loser.

SAT 3/26 Rescue a pug & eat not well day

We had a mill pug to rescue! It was a crazy day & we've got a frightened little baby & barky,whining puggies.
food for the day:  ("C" packets & my regular additionals, Catalyst & Thermoplus) MRS vanilla, grape Rehydrate, SLAM bowl game berry, Advocare fruit & fiber bar, leftover pasta/ravioli 1.5 c.. & dinner mac n' cheese & hotdogs 1.5 c. (I know not an item we're going to rebuy but not throwing it out either)! 2c. dark choc almond milk & glutamine. got to get to bed I think the girls are going to wake me up super early they're not going to bed & it's 11:45pm. :(

FRI 3/25

Ok, awesome I forgot my MRS & my additional added on vitamins (I'll take those with supper) I did remember my strip... yeah NP. My routine was thrown off by adding in 1 Thermoplus to my pre-breakfast vitamins. I've got some low fat/low sugar Luna women's 2 mini bars (160 total) & 1 Quaker mint choc. granola bar (80) 1/2 scoop grape Spark (I'm always 1/2 scoop Spark as a full one would get me beat up at work i'm sure for being super chirpy & happy).  Not everyone wants to have a Sparktastic day apparently... working on getting a few of the AM Dt. Mt. Dewer's to try it but they like the soda taste. Being a reformed Dewer I say I don't miss it at all & would probably feel ill if I had that crap again.
     Not as good as an MRS but not bad. Lunch 12:50pm I almost forgot to take my prepills before I was actually thinking about eating again. 1 HB egg plain (85), 10 baby carrots & minimal salmon dip (yep still the same container of dip & carrots) & remaining 1/2 of that Bear Naked brand granola bar (115 cal.)
4pm~ 1 small banana.
Hoping someone might possibly show up to do Zumba Toning at Shake N' Shed but not holding my breath as they haven't had ANYONE show up for the past 4 weeks for the 6:30pm class. I don't know why I have the late night classes or why there aren't more late night exercisers. I had 1 person stay for 40 min for the class as they had already done 1 hour previously so that was good.
8:45pm Thermoplus
9:15pm Dinner ~ 1/4 lb. burger, cheese slice, K&M, 1Tbs. guac. on a wheat bun, 5 seasoned French fries (not  jumbo sized fries or anything) 2.5c. lettuce salad with 4 Tbs. mango fresh salsa, 10 baby cherry tomatoes & that no cal., no nothing dressing. Holy crud butt i'm stuffed stupid go figure that was like 10 min after I finished I figured it out I ate too much.  2c. dark choc. almond milk & 1tsp. glutamine before bed.
10:15pm Stupid salad... I should have known better or should have taken leptilean since it was so late & I was reasonably hungry (as I should be at that time) but don't know why I still struggle to eat a reasonable amount of food.
Really hoping to see 141 or even possibly 140 on the scale tomorrow AM... that would put me almost a whole week ahead of schedule of my unreasonable goals.

WoW I'm like the BIGGEST LOSER!!!!

WoW! tonight really caught me off guard. I thought 1 of my teammates for Biggest Loser was bluffing me or let me know I was the biggest loser on our team this week losing 2.5lbs.... NOOOO I was the BIGGEST LOSER for ALL WEEK at  Snap Fitness - Bluffside They go by biggest % lost not lbs. lost.  I weighed my self tonight again & am WELL on my way to possibly being even a BIGGER loser next week dropping 5lbs ALREADY SINCE MONDAY going from 150-145 tonight on the SNAP scale! Take that you horrible Monday night scale of lyingness! Also, I'd like to say I wasn't expecting to lose anything this week & was actually bracing for a gain or zero week.

    Too bad there isn't an acceptance speech for being a biggest loser as I'd like to thank Advocare, Amanda, Kim, Pam & my husband who knows how hard I've been trying to lose weight for years & is happy that I'm happy that I've finally found a way to break the cycle. I'd also like to thank my Zumba employers for supporting me & believing that even though I was pretty overweight when I started. They still saw thru that & there was a skinny person in there somewhere with the energy to fight themselves out again. I'd like to thank Beto for putting cool dance moves & creating Zumba Fitness so in just possibly a few more short months. (or maybe even sooner) I'll be able to show off my Zumba 6 pack abs that are truly under there already & are just a quick suck-in away from shadowing out.
