Surprise!

I feel like I just woke up to Professor genius & Bon Bon asking me away to slumberland!(Not actually, but i do feel so much better!) YES

Good morning! Waking up feeling so much better & ready to get back on track (sleep schedule wise & food choice/ schedule wise.

Except without the cookies!haha

Excited to get back to the gym tomorrow
Also, I say "back on track" because since i've been a bit under the weather I haven't been making the best food choices..lot's of orange juice & not eating enough.If you are in Weight Watchers there is a certain amount of food you should be eating...that's one of the reasons we have points.

This was taken last night, my dad points out how gorgeous it is outside & I tried to capture the color in the sky! This was the shot that shows a little bit of what we were seeing. The closer I got the lower & more out of sight the pink got. I guess it's one of those 'had to be there" things?

Goodnight!

Pills & I

As far as I can remember I was always horrible at taking pills. At some point you are expected to swallow pills like it's nothing. For me it's always been a huge challenge!
I would spend hours in the kitchen with a glass of water in front of me trying to keep medicine down. My parents tried everything!

• Crushing ( you are not supposed to do this but at the time we were..)
• Making a shake (the shake would taste horrible & just made it worse! Can you imagine drinking a whole shake with an overwhelming medicine taste? )
• Drink &  swallow FAST! ( I felt like I would choke every time & spit it up) 

At some point I remember having to tell my doctors before they write up my script to have the  pills be crushed & made into a liquid form in pharmacy! * I could see this working for some people* for me the taste was a factor & I remember getting even sicker. I'd rather not get into details. It's for the best, believe me! haha

I do have a strategy now that i'm older & have had time to work on it. My strategy involves having a small amount of food ( I'm sure there is medication where you shouldn't be eating , I haven't run into that problem yet!). Anyways you chew the food LIKE USUAL & before you swallow hide the pill inside what you are about to swallow. This sounds kind of gross writing this, but it's absolutely helped me!

Goodnight!

6th Weigh In!

So i've been sick for the last few days :[ I've been drinking so much! Orange Juice,water... LOTS OF IT. I expected to at least gain a pound. I'm not sure why I expect to gain all the time. Anyways, tonight was my 6th weigh in & I lost 3 unexpected pounds! :]


Starting weight: 320 lbs
Current: 295 lbs
Lost: 24 lbs

I slept all day! Had some really amazing chicken soup for dinner tonight! My mom may not be a chef but she is great when it comes to soup. ( & I'm not even a big soup person..)

Goodnight

Very happy & sleepy!!!

Feeling like a Zombie!

Seems like I'm getting a little sick. I woke up with a bit of a tickle in my throat, that's usually a sign! I'm not really one to get headaches either, so when I started getting some that was another good sign. I'm glad I got to work out for a few hours yesterday at least :] I don't think it's a good idea since my head feels all heavy & I'd rather not be the one who got everyone else sick.

I've been sleeping a lot! 

All I have to say is -" I like tuttles"

A great workout song! Feel-good Upbeat!

Goodnight

No excuses!

I made choices. They seemed right until after I had made them. BUT FIRST!

A view of the beach from the garage! (looking for the one of the umbrellas :] )

The beach was Beautiful today! The water was three wonderful shades of blue. Everyone out there had umbrellas that lined the shore with the cheerful summer feeling you look for when relaxing  at the beach. 


Confessions: I  had a tuna salad sandwich v.s very greasy pizza
The sandwich had mayo & the bread was white *super white, if there is such a thing..*
I honestly didn't even think about the bread until I had gotten it. In my head this was something I could live with eating...


DO YOU KNOW HOW BADLY I WANTD SOME PIZZA?
but I'm glad I didn't & even if the pizza & the sandwich are just as bad as each other.. I feel like the intentions were good & I will have to get better at ordering away from home. This was hard for me since this place isa  very small busy place at the beach.

VS

On the confession 2: I HAD STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE ICE-CREAM ..witha  cone.
It was the smallest size. The bad part about this was that I didn't NEED it but had it anyways. We had just laid out on the beach for 3 hours- the cold was so nice! It could have been the best ice-cream cone I had ever had? I will not regret eating this after I write about it here.because really..what's the point of feeling guilty :] I ate it  & it's not like I gained my 21 pounds back. This occasion was very rare & I feel it was a great day {including what I ate} 

OHH!!! & the reason why I do feel a bit bad is because while me and my friend are sitting at the icecream place, I see someone order a fruit smoothie...fresh fruit..uhh BETTER CHOICE ?? heck yes! I would have absolutely gotten that instead.NO LIE. it looked great.
Now I know for next time.

as for the sandwich..it happens!

Let's keep going :]

Goodnight

One Goal down!

One goal down * actually it's two but they were so close :]
I really wanted to be below 300 before I left for school, like I've mentioned already. When I lost 7 lb. the other week it bumped out that goal & also without me realizing I bumped out my 5% goal. I'm feeling it would be good to go for the 10% now and that will be -32 total for me *11 more pounds I think. I hope I'm not doing this wrong. I have about 5more weeks till I go back to College! Mixed feeling :] I seriously miss my roommates but I'm also extremely anxious about this being my senior year.

Anyways! I will have two tickers one with my big goal [ Ideal weight ] ,it's really a lot, so I will make a 10% goal ticker as well. These are great visuals & any extra motivation-I'll take!


I just got back from the gym * 2 hour work out -kinda sluggish I don't think I got enough sleep * & I'm finding some of the levels I was having a hard time with when I first started are getting to be too easy! That's great :] I think so at least. Also great motivation , when you realize your body is getting stronger :] nice.

Happy Friday!

 I think I'm going to the beach tomorrow <3 Haven't been for a while
