Wow what a day! I hurt all over well mainly in my core muscle also known as the muscles I didn't know I had. Chris and I went to the gym and met with his personal trainer. I got to work out with them and I thought I didn't do much boy was I wrong. As I continue to unwind I am hurting more and more. Chris had a harder workout than I did. He had to do pull ups lots of pull ups. Just watching him made me tired. I would've tried to do some but honestly I knew I couldn't even do one. I know bad Eve I gave up before I even tried but I was more afraid of hurting myself.
Of course before we went to the gym I went to my weigh in. I lost another three pounds! I now weigh 228 Lbs! I lost another 2 inches in my waist another inch in my arms chest still same lol :) legs are down another inch. The fat is just melting off. I look at my face in the mirror and I am finally seeing what everyone else is seeing. My double chin is almost completely gone. If anyone is interested in my diet its called Ideal Protein. www.idealprotein.com My nutrionist/personal trainer is Jennifer Ashby www.thefitdevil.com You won't be sorry.
Well....I am worn out literally and will sleep really well tonight. Thank you everyone that reads my blog you have no idea how much I appreciate it. Till next weigh in take care!

Ice cream you scream we all scream for icecream.....
I was supposed to write a blog last week and really I am supposed to write this one after my weigh it but I felt like if I didn't get all this stuff out of my head and written or rather typed I would forget it. Sooooo.....bare with me as I tell you all the great things going on.
First I am struggling and certain people are trying to sway me to cheat. I can't cheat at all and let me tell you it hurts. I have had so many attacks from Satan these last two weeks I have lost friends. Friends who I was already having issues with. I am hurt about it but I can't take negative people in my life right now I need encouragement. Sad thing is I don't think they even care. That hurts me the most. Now don't think I did this lightly because it tore me up inside I love this person but they couldn't see that I have changed and that I am trying to make more changes. I want to be the person God intended for me to be and I need everyones help to do that!
So last week my weigh in I was down another 3 pounds! I didn't lose any inches bummer but my total for one month is 25 POUNDS!!!!! SWEET! Remember how I said I went shopping at Goodwill and bought new work pants. Two pairs were 16 and the rest were 18. I wore one pair for the first time this week and I had to fold them over twice and they were still too big :) I felt like I was wearing pj pants instead of khakis.
This week has been a crazy one and unfortunately I didn't get to the gym at all! I know bad Eve no cookie not that I can have it lol. I hate confessing to Jennifer my nutrionist that I didn't exercise at all this week but later on today I meet with Chris's personal trainer and we are going to burn some fat guaranteed! I am looking forward to the workout and then again I'm not. It is hard to build exercise as a habit. Especially when your old habits used to be eatting a whole container of ice cream in one sitting. Or a bag of potatoe chips I blame it on lays hello you really can't just eat one!!!! No it's my fault and when you take responsibility for your mistakes it makes fixing them that much easier.
Well....that being said I will now get ready to go in for my weigh in I don't need luck just pray for me I pray every night for all my friends even the ones who don't believe. Love ya'll I may have another blog later today so stay tuned :)

Sixteen AGAIN!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
No I'm not 16 years old I'm in a size 16 from a 22 wow what a difference too. All last week I was pulling a tugging on my work pants. I was having to fold them over because even my belt wouldn't keep them up. But I have to say I do feel a lot younger. I used to complain every day how horrible I felt and I just couldn't get feeling better. Let me tell ya when you feel bad your attitude stinks! I couldn't see God's blessing in my life because I just felt so horrible. Today I have cried but tears of joy for how awesome I am doing on this diet. My will power is strong because He gives me strength. So as you know my starting weight was 256 lbs today I weigh in at 234 lbs. 22 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In less than a month. If I keep this pace up I will meet my goal weight of 150 lbs by April!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO birthday cake!!!! :)
Of course one of the things I am concerned with is the holidays I mean hello FOOD is everywhere. Food I can't eat I should say. Because remember I can't have carbs, sugar, fat, or calories. Which means no dressing no deviled eggs unless I change the recipe. No yams, no squash, or dessert no bread no potatoes of any shape or kind. This is going to be difficult because I love Pumpkin and I can't have any. :/ Will power Chris says I should just make my own dinner and bring it with me. Because I can't risk accidently getting sugar. If I eat anything that isn't on my plan I will have to start all over from the beginning. I am in Ketosis and want to stay in Ketosis so my body uses it's fat as energy and burns all this extra off me. It's working I feel great and I want to continue to feel great.
I have to say that after this is all over and done with it I can't see going back to eating bread. I highly believe it was the cause of my issues. I craved it and all it did was make me feel worse. My skin has cleared up because I am not eating fried food. I bake everything or broil it with olive oil. I really think about everything I put into my body now. We all should. This is just the beginning of this diet and I won't be on this diet forever but I am learning which foods to pick. I am also learning which exercises are most benefical to me.
Every week Jennifer my nutritionist measures me too. I am down over 6 inches in my waist 2 this week a total of 1 inch in my arms. 3 inches in my thighs. Luckily my chest I haven't lost any inches I don't see my boobs going anywhere anytime soon. I call them the family curse but don't think for one second I am not working on making them smaller. I have been doing chest presses and working my arms and it shows. Truely I am amazed at the results and how fast they are coming. I realize soon I will go thru a plateau and that's why I have Jennifer she is my rock. Anytime I feel uncertain about anything or just need encouragement she is there. So to end this entry into my blog I want to thank everyone who has been an encouragement too me and as always to give God the glory. Love ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
