Well here we are......day 2!!!



First things first....."I'm losin it", as you can tell refers to my weight...but it could also refer to many other things....my keys....my kids (just kidding).....my mind (not kidding.....that was lost loooonnnng ago).....but this blog is about losin' dad-gum weight!!! (and I guess practicing SOME healthier eating habbits.....and getting back to a bit more disciplined lifestyle)



Secondly.....I have been told by a certain someone (J.L.B.-lol) that I have to fess up that I had Taco Bell for lunch yesterday AND today. "Someone" said you can't lose weight if you are eating Taco Bell and Taco Cabana everyday at lunch. Yes, forget Ruths Cris......I'm a Taco Bell and Taco Cabana junkie......there I said it!!!

My answer is.....every food has a number of points and if I'm willing to spend them on my "crutch", then so be it!!! (by the way, I eat a soft taco supreme 5 points, and a tostada also 5 points) My sweet J.L.B is just trying to help!!! I have decided to limit those lunches and try to bring my lunch a couple of times a week...or maybe once......hey....it's a start!! I work out of my car and I like a "heartier" filling lunch, otherwise I focus on food all day. When I have packed my cooler with lunch in the past, I found that I have eaten the whole day's food by 10am......then I go get Taco Cabana!!!



Thirdly, I did the MEAUREMENTS and SCALE this am......it was UGLY!!! Yes, I have alot of work ahead of me......as mom always says....if it was easy, everyone would do it!!! And as mom also always says, if it's worth having, it's worth working for. That's what I kept telling myself last night as my 5 mile jog turned into a 4 mile walk/jog to finally an almost 4 mile walk/job. Can I tell you the word is "STIFLING".....not a whip of wind in the air!! Anyway, the biggest challenge last night was after my shower when my parents arrived from the airport (they are rennovating and staying with us on and off....they had been away for the weekend) and in walks my dad with McDonalds......I hate McDonalds, but to smell greasy McDonalds fries at 10:45 when every ounce of food has processed through my tum.....smelled REALLY good....but, I moved on to the bed!!!

Today was good.....just finished a 2 and 1/2 mile walk with my hubby......yes....you read correct!!! Finishing my 6th cup of water as I type......Ate pretty well.....4 points for breakfast, 10 points for lunch, 3 points for snack, and supper was about 9....and it was healthy!!!! ...angel hair pasta with saute'd (sp?) spinach and cilantro/lime shrimp and a little bit of fresh fruit!!

Tomorrow is another new day......going to try to get a better and earlier jump on the day with a positive attitude!! I have a plan.....because as my boss always says, "Failing to plan is planning to fail".

Since I will be lunching with clients I need to not go starving, slow down as I am eating (at least enough to breathe and chew the food), and choose a smart item from the menu (news alert.....I already know what I'm ordering!!!).

I will also drink my 6 cups of water.....while this may not seem like a big deal to some......I LOVE my diet coke and would much rather drink that than water!! BUT.....feeling dehydrated and being dehydrated really drains your body and I feel DRAINED alot of the time.......also, all the water makes me have to pee and that means peeing in public bathrooms all day and that is challenging for a germ-a-phobe like me. I will also walk/jog 3 miles tomorrow evening!!

Thanks for the sweet and funny comments and support!!! Go Misty!! Go Coryelle!!
