For My Boys

I will take it as a good sign that I have lost track of what day I am on. I have been consistent with keeping track of my foods, planning ahead, and eating 6 small meals a day instead of starving myself till 6pm and then loading up on all my calories with super bad choices.

Just started having these greek waffles for breakfast and they are SO good and satisfying. I even ent

So I have 2 big things to be proud of myself for today. First one is, for the first time since I have started my diet and this FitClick food tracker I have been IN THE GREEN for all my categories, fat, calories, carbs AND protein!!! AND it was all foods that I put together myself.

Second one is I survived a trip to the movies tonight and didnt stuff my face with a ton of c

So I learned a big lesson this week about pizza and wings! I had a really good day eating healthy so when we ordered pizza and wings for dinner I thought it would be ok to just  have a few wings and a slice or two of pizza. After entering my food in I was floored to see that a serving of wings from Papa Johns has 46 grams of FAT! Oh my gosh, I could have eaten 4 slices of cheese pizza for less fat from there!!! It helps me so much to stop and

Well I had a friend come to me with an emergency yesterday afternoon and spent the rest of the day at the ER, police and detectives. It was so taxing on my mind and body, I was absolutly exhausted. I didnt get home from everything till 11pm at night and even in starvation mode I thought to pop a lean cuisine in the microwave (thank goodness I have those on hand for emergencies) but then while it was cooking ate a bunch of tortilla chips and fat fre

Well I survived my first resteraunt outing and I think I did ok considering my choices. I was invited to Dave and Busters for a childs birthday party and we had a preset menu to choose from. There was nothing but triple burgers, breaded parm ckn sandwiches and french fries. But I did spy these make it yourself grilled chicken soft tacos so I picked that. They were delicious and I felt really good about my choice. The grilled ckn was seper

Well each day seems to be getting a bit better than the last. Its 4:30 and I am still way down in carbs, yay!, and eating a lot more lean proteins. Bought a scale today with some store credit, so I can weigh my meat and know exactly how many ounces of what I am really eating. I think its going to help tremendously. Went I got home I was sooo hungry and instincivly went to grab some low-cal bread and make a turkey sandwich with mustard. I even had e

Well I took my first successful trip to the grocery store since I have started dieting. All fresh veggies, greens, fat free feta, egg beaters for veggie omelets, I dont believe it but I kept on the entire outside of the store and didnt go down an "inside aisle" once! I am taking the time to make more fresh meals and consiously trying to increase the protein, lower the carbs and eat plenty of fruit and veggies. I sauteed my leeks in yesterdays soup

Proud of myself right now!
I know this should come to no suprise to me at all, but honestly keeping track of my food has been a real eye opener. I was shocked after the first 2 days to see how fast I shot past my calories and carb limit, and yet continue to struggle to meet protein goals. It makes sense to me though, because I know I dont eat enough meat. SO, this afternoon when I felt hungry, instead of eating a fiber one bar (whi

So I have had a really bad respatory virus and stomach bug for 2 weeks now, which needless to say has given me little to no appetite, and when I have tried to eat, buttered toast was all my stomach could handle. But after entering in my food on the first day, I couldnt believe how eaten so little could still bring me over in calories and fat! I have always known butter is bad, I guess I play games in my head that if it feels like Im only eating a l

I am not going to lie, I have said it all before, my family and friends have heard it all before, watched me yo-yo diet through my teens, twenties, and now my thirties. Im miserable and I want out of this body. My boys are growing up so fast, one is already a teenager, and I still am not where I said I would be when he was born...Looking for support and a someone to share encouragement and tips with so if any women out there are intrested let
