Weekend 4/16~ 4/17

Ok so I had a reasonable amount of food this weekend some cheating. However, I am REALLY busy with  lately with people thru the 24 day challenges they're currently going thru. have a garden that needs to get planted & more. Went to Trader Joe's, shopping for smaller clothes (size small & size 6) & more. I did cheat & split a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream dish & fresh pretzel at the mall with hubby. Sushi for dinner on Saturday, home made burgers for lunch on Saturday & fresh salads galore. Hope that sums it up enough to get an idea. Not that I'd suggest all of my choices but wanted to give an idea that I'm human too & can't be good all of the time. MODERATION is the key! GTG have calls to make, Zumba to do & a garden to plant! Dinner was veggie cheese burgers on wheat buns & salads. Don't forget dark choc. almond milk & some juice both nights with my L-glutamine. Not to mention nighttime recovery on Sunday night too.

Fri 4/15~ up before the alarm

ok... so apparently sleeping in is no longer a possibility. Even getting to bed a little late. I feel GREAT when I wake up. I have the mental stigmata still going on saying... I can but my body says get your keister outta bed.
Breakfast Choc. MRS~ Grape Spark both were milked 'til I kid you not 11:30am. Not hungry.
Lunch 1pm~ 1/2 wheat Girf remaining from yesterday's lunch & avocado. Full. WoW that was like stupid easy. Water as always.
4:22pm 1 banana.
Dinner~ whole wheat bun, cheeseburger & salad 2 c. dark Choc. Almond milk.
.5c. juice & 1tsp L-glutamine

THU 4/14~ my stomach no longer appreciates sodium sticks...

woke up with the alarm. :) I also forgot to post yesterday that I officially have lost 40lbs! yeah, that's right I picked up the 20lb. pair o' dumbells & went WOAH... wow that's like crazy!
Ok so i'm not starting the day off eating right... I don't know what possessed me to go into KT (after filling up & spending WAY too much money on gas) I guess I figured I wanted some bananas & if they possibly had a chicken & bacon roller bite I'd get just 1 (sodium stick) I've seen the cal. count & all for them before not too bad, however like 90% of your daily intake for sodium for the day. :P then I was like pretty hungry when I got to work & tried to have a banana too. 9:45 my stomach has been putting up a fight going WTH did you feed me you crazy chic? I don't want this.... & you'd better hope that I don't have a full out revolt later today on you. The banana isn't going to work for a peace offering either... no way girlfriend! *side note in the past it was nearly a multi-weekly ritual to get about 2. Then it was 1... only 1 maybe 2 times a week in Oct. 2010 then it was only 1 once a month... I haven't had one in maybe over 3 mo. since starting Advocare? I'm pretty sure. I haven't had any of this since I'd started Advocare.
Not even a desire for it... pretty good seeing how i'd tried on my own to kick it numerous times & this is probably one of the longest I've not had it. Don't even want it either... so I'm sure it will continue.

Diet Mountain DON'T! Is total chemical badness to put into your body!

 Well AdvoCare, my wonderful food police you have once again foiled my plot to eating crap I shouldn't be eating. I won't be doing that again... what's even better? It didn't even taste good... or not as good as I'd ever remembered it tasting. Now I'm not saying that it makes everything taste not as good anymore. But if I could at least get some of the bad food to taste like what it is "crappy" it has helped.
Lunch at Erberts & Gerberts~ 1/2 of a whole wheat Girf no mayo, guac instead. Lunch date with Amanda. Was nice to see her. Also, was nice to run in to another past Tribune co-worker briefly too.
Happy B-day to my Mother-in-law! Celebrating with Dinner at Ciatti's.... hubby will hopefully remember to bring some Leptilean® as I need help cutting down from snarfing super yummy gourmet Italian food. It's kinda like the AdvoCare SWAT team of food police. :)

WED~ 4/13 Wild Zumba daze

I was up BEFORE my alarm went off... yeah... before... seems like this is happening more & more. Not to mention less times up during the night as well.

Late snack ~ 1 clementine
50min~ Zumba session
Lunch 1:30pm~carrots & salmon dip

Monday 4/11 spa night & SNAP weigh in.

.5 lost according to the lying SNAP scale. Not to mention abnormal AM weigh in there so  not surprised at all that it wasn't 1.5lbs lost... It would have been had I weighed in at night minimum. However, tonight is spa night which means massage & possibly infared sauna night. Which trumps a weigh in any day. Besides I'll probably get a better loss next week then when I weigh in at night again.

Breakfast 9:30-10:30~MRS & pink lemonade Spark thru mid morning..
Lunch~12:50pm My stomach hit the snooze button & I woke it up at 12:10pm by taking my 30 min prior pills... it then wacked the snooze again...until that time. 1 sl. leftover pizza from yesterday & 1 jumbo orange. full.
8pm dinner~ small NY strip steak, gnocchi & pesto mix from last night & salad with ranch & green olives (minimal as always) 3/4 scoop ice cream with 1 Tbs. fudge. 1.5c. dark choc. almond milk.
1/2 c. juice with 1 Tsp. glutamine

Wknd 4/9~ 4/10 good news comes in black garbage bags.

Breakfast~MRS
Curves ZIC 2 33~min sessions weigh in 139.2 YES~~ finally now only under 140 but I've now lost 39 lbs.!
Lunch~ Grizzly's various appetizer platter (shared with hubby) way bad food & not even going to go there. I didn't pig out & ate a normal portion amount of food but very little veggies.
felt stuffed stupid. Went out & got my eyes checked & they hardly changed at all my 140 present to myself was to get more contacts (I was almost out) that & I got 2 t-shirts & a NEW rototiller on sale!
Orange Spark~ yeah it was later in the day but at the mixer it was a peer pressure thing. LOL
Dinner~ I kid you not 1 Advocare double choc. snack bar. It was yummy but I'd still have possibly wanted an MRS instead. I also had a giant orange. Wasn't that hungry after the lunch we'd had (it seriously wasn't that much food)
~Nighttime recovery~ I wasn't that sore in the AM but my body was saying that I'd possibly needed it the night before.

Sunday~ Breakfast~ 1.5c. Granola cereal (cherry choc.) & almond milk
2 hours of Zumba & Zumba Toning~ Bowlgame Berry SLAM beforehand. I didn't have time to Spark myself earlier & wanted a boost doing a 2 hour back to back teaching.
lunch 2 pieces of Domino's pizza green olives, mushrooms & beef. Salad with tomato, artichoke & avocado with basalmic dressing & a Domino's choc. lava cake.
No Aqua Zumba~ hubby said weather was too bad with tornado sirens going off & softball sized hail near where I would have been heading. It was too unpredictable so I had to miss. Hopefully the instructor will let me attend 1 more class but not expecting it.
supper~ 1 chick breast, gnocchi & vermacelli with a small amount of pesto & olive oil. Salad with 4 small green olives & small amount of ranch dressing. Berry Zero vitamin water. (sale item) I didn't like it much so glad I only got 1. Full so no dessert & really trying to limit it to just 1 a day or less.

Tried on clothes after supper from a person who wanted to donate clothes to GoodWill but also wanted to pass on some to me, as she knows how hard I've been working at losing weight & how rapidly I've been shrinking out of my work clothes. :) I tried on 6's 8's & 10's (all previously worn) & guess what??? THEY ALL FIT! So now I have clothes galore for fall & don't have to worry about work clothes for awhile. (or at least not as much) I passed on everything that didn't fit (was too big or long) or I didn't like the style of. I kept 3 might fit next week items too at this rate I can't hope not too. I've been getting down past where I'd been in SOOO long I almost don't have any pants in the 6-8 size range anymore. I just need some more workout ones (or do laundry more often)
