So July is a new month and I know that I've been dong fairly well on my I started it March 26th 2010 and it's now July 1st 2010 I have lost 30lbs so far, and I'm happy about it..but I know that I can do a lot better. I have now decided to add more fruits and a FEW (and I use 'few' lightly) more carbs into my diet. I know that I can do a lot better. So anyway since I was having that digestive problem and was sick that whole week like 2 weeks ago I now need to drink apple juice every morning and dont get me wrong I LOVE apple juice, and I know that it is higher in calories than tea, or whatever obviously, but I'm doing what I have to do to be healthy even if that means to slow down my weight loss a little; which I don't think it will. I have also though about adding baby carrots to my diet even though the doctor (when I was seeing him) said that we couldn't have them. I just don't get what kind of snacks CAN have if baby carrots is not one of them? I mean I know that all 'snacks' should be like high protein and stuff but you know I'm trying to stay away from chips and stuff (which I am doing really well from staying away from) but anyway baby carrots, celery, berries(if its fruit) and SOME watermelon(it's summer!)

and it's been a while.
Okay so I'm finally doing better!! Thanks to antibiotics amongst other things haha :)
But anyway I'm doing well back on my diet :) and im glad and happy that everything is going well.
Food journal for today.
7am protein shake.
9am venti green tea with honey.
12pm turkey and reduced fat pepper jack cheese sandwich on 100% WHOLE WHEAT bread and tomato soup.
3pm low fat cottage cheese with no sugar added diced peaches.
6pm protein shake and salad.
Exercise: Cardio; 20 minutes treadmill 20 minutes eliptical,
weights. (toning arms and legs)
So on a different note, I was reading up on what is better for your health artificial sweetener or honey...and the verdict is actually that honey is better for you, well RAW HONEY, because it is not processed the sugar is not refined, and being that since it is sweeter that refined white sugar you dont use as much. So the nutrition facts are 60 calories (1 Tablespoon) 17 carbs and 16 sugars. Now I know that it seems like a lot of carbs and sugars, but if you think about it wouldnt you rather help your digestive system while lightly sweetening up some iced or hot tea? I mean Raw honey is good for your digestion, has been said to help you lose weight (maybe not faster but it helps the metabolism) if you have allergies to flowers and the spring time it helps with that too, I dont know about all of you but I'm going to see how it goes adding raw honey into my diet with the same routine that I have going :) so NO MORE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER...HELLO RAW HONEY! :)

Food Journal
8am: Protein Supplement.
11am: VitaTops Blueberry Bran (delicious! if you have not tried one do it bluebran and chocolate are delicious! Only 100 cals 1g of fat 5g fiber 4g of protein. AND ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO WORK IT OFF IS WALK 15 MINUTES!)
2pm: Slimfast snack bar.
5pm: Salad and a high protein soup.
8pm: Fat Free cottage cheese and no sugar added peaches.
Oh BTW I have just came to an enlightenment....I don't know if any of you have tried Aquafina FlavorSplash water but it is AMAZINGGGGG!!!! I have fallen in love with water all over again :)! hahah Of course plain water is my number one choice obviously but I do have FlavorSplash almost daily since is is sweetened with splenda its still calorie free and i promise it does not taste bad at all!! But I have also tried the Dasani flavored water and it is even less sweeter than FlavorSplash and to be honest I like it a lot more than the FlavorSplash...but i can't find it sometimes and at work in the vending machine all they have is the FlavorSplash so thus i stick with it :) but i promise they are both delicious! :)

just got done.
with my hair it looks good as always haha :) but then again I'm really not. Uhmm I deffjust realized that I have nothing to do today, I mean with the way I was feeling this passed week I needed a day like this :)
So I brought Daisy home.
Got home had lunch.
Did my homework for CPT 101(about to work on math homework)
Did my hair; fixed it up to make sure that it looked well, (btw I cut my bangs AGAIN!) hah
Did myself up for no apparent reason.
anyway I have noticed as well that I blog more than usual now-a-days, twice a day sometimes 3 or 4 I don't know I just get so antsy and miss my mom sometimes because I can't talk to her. but anyway back to some news about my diet.
Since I had to go to the urgent care last night and pay out the ass JUST for the DAMN VISIT plus the blood test.
So Randy and I both decided that having health insurance is OBVIOUSLY a little more important so what happened last night doesn't happen again. So I decided since I have been doing so well on the plan that I'm on and I know how to do it now, I'm going to find an alternative for the type of protein supplement that I take now...amino acids can be purchased at the store and obviously a multi-vitamin as well. So far I have found a protein supplement that is a lil better than what I take now it's a little higher in calories but it has 25g or protein and less carbs then the one I take now. So after ,y appointment at the doctors on Friday I'm just going to let them know that I will be going out of town and that I will call them to make an appointment when I get back, so hopefully they don't give me a hard time about it but I'm excited about doing something different :)
But anyway I'll probably be back later tonight and blog some more...probably just post my food journal for tomorrow :)

In the end.
There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and in being nothing, you are everything.
So i've been out
So here's whats been going on. I have been sick since last Tuesday, and I finally had the last of it last night. I got so sick I had to go to the Urgent Care. My stomach was hurting so bad I though it was an ulcer, but thank God that it isn't. It's not better but it's not worse lol I'm just glad that it's not an ulcer. it turned out to be a sever stomach infection that I am taking antibiotics for, and so far so good. I am doing a lot better, I know that these two weeks since I was so sick I didn't do that well on my diet but then again I was sick the entire time since the day that I weighed in, which was literally a little over a week ago. Anywho I just thought I'd update everyone on what was going on. :)
I'll I'm going into the doctor to see him about my tummy issue and weigh in and whatnot on Friday so i'll keep you posted on the damage that was done jk :)~~ttyasoooon :)

Its Sunday
So its sunday night and I have to catch all of you up on what happened at the doctor's on Tuesday. So here it goes....
as you all know I was getting measured and the verdict is........
11.5INCHES off my bust, hips, and waist!!! :)
I'm super stoked about that!!
On a different note though. I have been feeling super sick for the past four days, and I think its because I decided to cheat on Tuesday after I got weighed in and what I really wanted was Mole, which is a very heavy Mexican dish and I'm thinking it was just too heavy for what I'm used to know. So I was having a really bad pain in my stomach right below my breast bone and did not know what it was. So anyway finally today I speak to my mom and she tells me to make myself chicken noodle soup, eat saltines, and have some diet 7-up. So I did and I feel soooooooo much better! My belly isn't hurting anymore Thanks God!! But I am worried about the fact that I feel like I gained 5 lbs since I was feeling sick because I am just bloated (or feel bloated) I'm worried that if this does not go away by tomorrow my chances of losing more weight that I need to lose by the 29th are slim to none... :( I know that it's a silly think to think about because things happen and life is life, but I should have never wanted to cheat and now I'm just regretting every minute of it :( but oh well, we all learn from our mistakes. Well I will be blogging every day this week so expect to hear updates!
