I Made It Through My First Week!

Still on cloud 9 from this mornings weigh in and I keep playing with my natural hair(one of my braids has come undone and just that little glimpse of length is hypnotizing) The more I play with it the more I want to go ahead and take all of them down, relax, and do a real length check, but Ima resist the temptation, this ten week stretch is getting on my nerves, real talk, but I know its in my hairs best interest, so Ima behave and keep it tucked away.

Hmmm, wrapping up Day 5, first off I have no idea what happened with my steps today, first I forgot to put on my pedometer and just remembered to grab it headed to work, and just checked my numbers and I didn't even break 2000. Kinda bummed, especially after yesterdays highs, but there's always another day.

Today I ate:
Peach Oatmeal, made with Soymilk
2 Hardboiled Eggs
1 Bag Cinnamon Apple Chips
1 Strawberry Banana Yogurt
2 cups of Grapes
Brown Rice Veggie Soup(Both lunch and dinner)
Sweet Potato w/Splenda, ICBINB, and Cinnamon

56 oz. Water
1,783 steps ( I know so sad, but I'm working on it)

Other than that, pretty average day could have been better, but it could have been worse.

Detox ends in a few days, and I will be so happy to add some meat back into my diet. This week has taught me that if I can cut down this far on my food choices and actually move my behind, there's no reason I can't make any diet I choose work or even better yet, I can make healthy lifestyle changes. :)

Week 1 Weigh In !!

4 days of smashing the fat, and it seems to have done some good, got a bit of fat kicked out 5.4lbs to be exact.

*Happy Dance*

Nice to see the scale down though I'm getting a new one, this one racks my nerves and I'd like to start tracking my body fat as well.

Just a quick update, not sure what I'm eating today, probably oatmeal, grapes, and apple chips I know for sure, and I really want a veggie sub from Subway, figured I've been a good girl and a healthy splurge is in order.

Who would have thought a week ago a veggie sub from Subway would have seemed crazy, smh, you live, you learn, you do better. :)

Wrap Up Day 4

Not a bad day at all, just finished a nice dance workout and after the soreness subsides and I get my breath back I'm feeling amazing. The further I'm getting into this journey the better I feel and the more the right choices seem to be easier to make.

Ending today at:
5133 steps which is 2.42 miles, Yay me that is my current personal best and I will be pushing farther tomorrow.
Also got in a 20 minute cardio workout. :)

Today's Food:
1 HB Egg
Cherry Tomatoes and Mini Babybel
Veggie Mix with ICINB
Triple Berry Yoplait Yogurt
1 HB Egg
1 Apple
1 100 cal bag of Apple Chips*
1/2 Blackberry Yoplait Yogurt
1 Apple Yogurt Dipper
1 Strawberry YoCrunch
Big Bowl of "Chicken Corn Chowder"
Made w/ Brown Rice, Veggie Mix, ICBINB, and about 2 tsp. Of Condensed Chicken Soup

72 oz. H2O
20 oz. Diet Green Tea

I need to start tracking through the day instead of trying to remember everything when I blog.
But today I discovered Apple Chips, and they are DELICIOUS, plus on sale 2 for $1, so I will be hitting the grocery store to stock up tomorrow before they run out.

Today was pretty good, I was the most active that I've been in months, I need to weigh in tomorrow for the 15 in 15 challenge, and I hope I've held on to the 2lb. Loss from Wednesday. Kinda excited about that.

Hair:

Hairlista has finally posted the last castor oil challenge of the year, and it begins on the 16th and I can't wait.
It's from 10.16.2010 to 12.31.2010. I found out I've reached grazing SL, so I know with the challenge being able to claim full SL, should be a cinch, I plan on stretching my perm until then to relax for the new year or maybe Christmas.

Finally, after stalking WalMart they have stocked this month's issue of Essence and I am in love with it.It covers two of my favorite topics, natural hair care and hair care in general and curvy girl fitness, can't wait to relax and read it.

Think I'll be hitting the Android market and look for some personal trainer apps, though I'm already in love with Cardio Trainer.

That's it for day 4, need to do my pedi if I'm weighing in tomorrow. :)

2 Days In,2+ Pounds Down

*Again sorry, pedi is scheduled for this evening :)*

Well Wednesday is my normal weigh day and I was going to try to stick it out to weigh on Day 9 as suggested but I'm always curious so I weighed in this morning, very surprised, down almost 3 lbs and I've only been on this plan for two days, makes me very happy I stuck it out when temptations struck and I can't wait to my next weigh in. I still have to set goals for the end of the year so that will be done some time later today.

Have to also restock on greek yogurt, fresh fruit, and salad items, so when I get off will be makinf a mini grocery trip.

End of Day 1/Reality T.V.

Well, I'm getting ready for bed and I'm proud to say I've made it through one whole day meat free! No soda, not even diet, no pasta, no candy, no chocolate, just good wholesome food and I have to say I am ridiculously pleased with myself. 1, down 8 more detox days to go.

Summary of todays food:
1 Mini Babybel Cheese (Lite)
1 Banana
1 Plum
A handful of Sugar Snap Peas
Cherry Tomatoes
Carrot Pack with Ranch Dressing
1 McDonalds Parfait w/ Granola
1 Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt
2 cups Brown Rice (made with chicken broth and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray)
1 cup Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower
1 Apple/Pear Crisp(Oat Bran)

20 oz. Diet Cranberry Juice
20 oz. Slenderize Cranberry/Raspberry
20 oz. Diet Green Tea

Exercise: Walked one mile, not nearly enough but its a start.

Didn't count calories or points today but I think I did pretty well though I need to eat more and get in more exercise, I think I will be making a shake or oatmeal tomorrow.

Got my reality fix this evening with Jackie Warners Thintervention and I love the show, though I can't stand Joe. I know not to take reality tv too serious, and I hate to say it, but I was so happy to see him stumble so bad with the girls, he is truly a jerk and for him to be on a weightloss show he is very rude to fat folk and thats uncalled for.

And I'm so glad Shay got more screen time, I promise if I didn't watch the show as I do I wouldn't know she was there. But my absolute favorite thing about tonights show was the Pussycat Doll routine. I have that workout dvd!!! Lol and it is killer, but think it will definitely help get your confidence up if done regularly, which I will get back to doing once I get another dvd player, until then its the track or the bike.

Anyways got a date with my pillow so that wraps up day 1.
