Oh No I Lost!

I just realized that I have been so busy that I haven't had time to write on my blog. Let me tell you what I have been up to. Last Wednesday January 28th I weighed my self and Yikes!!!!!!!! I weighed 290 pounds. I have started to eat healthier before this but was to afraid to weigh myself, so I hoped on the scale and did it. I am proud to tell you that I weighed myself again this week and I am down 10 pounds. I am excited. Ok because diets in the past have always failed me I have chosen to not be on a diet I am just simply changing my diet and my lifestyle to make me happier and healthier. I have my three personal trainers. (WHAT IN THE WORLD YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR THAT). I don't have money for the gormet food I have been eating either OH! but I do. Let me tell you what I have been doing.

First I am going to tell you abount my Trainers:
Trainer#1 Paul my loving yet firm husband.
Trainer#2 Camille my beautiful daughter
Trainer#3 Mikey well you just gotta know him!

Now I am going to tell you about my work out program:
Best work out ever Teach your child how to ride a bike:
You have to run with them to get them started and then you let go and they just put their feet down. Ask Mikey he thought it was funny!!!! HEHEHE!!!

Next Is racing Paul and Camille up the Stairs at Mount Trash More ( a local city park) They won but I made it up and down. Wow!!!! That hurt my legs but FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!

And the most rewarding was the whole Family working out and having fun to some of the work out DVDS I bought. ( cheap ones nothing fantsy) We made it fantsy though.

Several walks through the mall making sure to walk up and down every stair case their was. and the last tip park as far away from the doors when you are going to the store as you can.

It didn';t even seem like I was working out.

Now My eating habbits:
I love my food and that is no secret so having "diet food" is not my cup of tea. These are some reciepies that I used that are Gormet Food and when I tell you how they are made you will know why. Now I can't promise that all these recipes are low fat or low calories or even low carbs. What I will tell you is only eat one helping and put your food away imediatley after you eat. this assures you don't come back for seconds and thirds and it also gets you up of your bumm so that you are sitting and your food digest better. I am not a doctor so I can't tell you that for a fact these are just things I am doing.

Recipies from me to you:

Italian Dressing

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fres chopped parsely

Have your children mesure the ingredients while you do the chopping of the garlic and parsely. who cares if they put to little or to much its dressing It will be more loving. They have a fun time doining it. If you don't have a kid go borrow you neighbors! HEHEHE!

After evry meal I put evrything away that way I am not tempted to continue eating. I keep sugar free gum and sugar free pudding around for when I need a snack and I don't go to bed after I eat. This helps keep my mind away from food and I find things to do with my kids.
