Week 1 Weigh In

I was down 4.4 pounds this week. Almost hit the 5 pound mark. I have a major goal this week and that is to get a full 64 oz of water every single day. I know that I am supposed to drink about 130 oz a day but honestly, water is not my thing LOL. My friend Shannon said she has been able to get more water in by putting lime juice in hers. So, I went out and bought limes and lemons and it has been much more tolerable. I have already had 16 oz today and it didn't gross me out to drink it that way. I generally just drink tea or green tea all the time.

I had weighed on friday i think, and was at the same weight loss on friday as I was today. This bummed me out today when I saw the scale and hadn't lost anymore. It scared me as well. I wondered if over the last 3 days maybe I had done something wrong that I wasnt aware of. So, I figured, in order to keep the loss going I had better up my water intake.

Anyway, I will probably blog again later, but I need to get up and get moving around. Having a very hard time waking up this morning.

Almost the end of week 1.

So far so good on week one. Two more days left till weigh in. I have done amazing well thus far in sticking to my plan and being very careful about what I eat. There have been a few challenges, and the hardest one will be tonight.

I promised the family that I would make lasagna for dinner. This is one of my favorite foods. And my cravings for some things have been tough. The kids have eaten things like fries, pizza and ramen this week. There were so many times when I thought just one bite wouldn't hurt anything, but truth be told, if I get even one taste, my day is gone. So I have made sure to keep those things completely away from me. When the urge strikes I check out my YouTube friends for inspiration.

I have never made it an entire week without cheating even one time. I am so happy with myself for this accomplishment!! It is also "that time of the month" so my hormones and cravings are out of control. But I have pushed through this pretty well considering.

Ive been staying up way too late at night, and am feeling rather sluggish today, which in time past, i would try to up the energy with sugary, creamy coffee goodness and Pepsi, along with stuffing my face all day..

I have found myself in the kitchen more today then all week, constantly looking for a quick snack for that emotional pick me up. But I REFUSE to screw up my hard work and amazing efforts of this week.

I hope that it quits raining so I can go on my walk at five, when my fiance gets up. He works third shift so the kids and I have to keep it quiet, and with all of us in the house all day long, we are about to all go stir crazy. The baby wouldn't take a nap so I figure the screaming fits will start soon.

Overall I can not complain about my week or my day, just finding it harder to be good today then it has been.

Well, before the kids destroy something, I will take myself away from the computer.

My Introduction to the Blogging community

I have recently become very interested in connecting with people across the internet just to chit chat over anything. I have a dual personality these days, very shy and researved in person, but ready to socialize with anyone from my home over the computer, phone, or whatever.

I have watched things on the news about how some children and teens are becoming socially inadequate due to texting and internet related forms of communication. Well news broadcasters, its not just the young generation anymore LOL.

I am here not only to randomly write about the goings on in my life, but I have a couple of specific goals I am hoping to accomplish. First of all, if anyone has an interest in bold, colorful makeup looks that can be done without the use of high priced cosmetics, then I am the lady for you! I have just started a YouTube channel called ILikeCheap. and, i do, i really do, like cheap. CHEAP IS GOOD!

I am also on a quest to find the body that is several inches below the one i have now.. I am terribly overweight, and not only is it effecting my physical health, but also my mental and emotional health. I think this may be one of the reasons I have become a recluse, only really talking to the people I cannot see.

I am going to be posting this process or "journey" if you will on youtube, and I am hoping to get followers. The more people that are watching, the more motivation will build up for me to keep up the good work.

well, i need to check the color of my hair, since it is covered in bleach LOL
