41LBS THINNER :-)

41 down 9 to go....

I have now lost 41lbs...I am sooooo excited 9lbs to go.....Only 5 days til thanksgiving...LOL i am going to have to eat salad all week...LOL

FRUSTRATED

OK soooo going to BJ is out because i don't have the money like i thought i would....SOOOOOO
i am frustrated i don't know what to do. I can't find a job. I have applied EVERYWHERE and nothin....not even holiday help. Apparently God is trying to teach me SOMETHING because this keeps happening.....I get a job and keep it for awhile and something happens and then its like 6 months b4 i can get another one......I DON'T GET IT....i am trying to pay attention to what God is trying to teach me. I don't know.

I am trying to figure out what to do for school. I had a long talk with my sis in law and friend Beth and i think maybe i may go talk to a counselor at ab-tech and see if they have something for a high school history teacher and/ or maybe computers. I love history and i love teens sooo i think it should work. I am scared about having a hard time with the school work...BUT i have enough ppl around me that can help me. SO i think i should be ok!!! So i will let you know.

I just want to be happy and if i am honest with myself i am not happy not even a little bit....

Please Pray

I found out yesterday one of my good friends at the daycare i used to work at has breast cancer. She has 2 small boys that are almost 2 and one is 3. She is having a masectomy December 9th. Her name is Jolene....I am sure she would appreciate your prayers!!!
THANK YOU

My diet plan!!!

Ok so everyone has been asking me how i am losing weight so i thought i would take some time and tell ya :-)

I am counting calroies and exercizing :-)



I am doing it biggest loser style. I count calories.You take what you weigh times 7 and that is how many calories you should eat a day to lose weight. When i started i actually had a hard time eating 2000 calories. I eat ALOT of 100 calories packs and and it is not that they are low fat they are just portion controlled and i eat the cheetos and cheddar chex mix the most..LOL
For exercise i do the biggest loser videos 3x a week and 3x a week i walk for 45 min....The videos are cardio max and power sculpt. (pictured below)
Which is perfect because it helps tone your muscles so i am not so icky flabby as i lose weight :-)I like doing it and the more ppl are finding out the more support i am getting. Which is GREAT everyone needs support!!!!My biggest thing is i make it a game..ya know like how little calories can i eat this meal?? or how little cheese spread can i get on the cracker...OH and a little secret Laughing Cow cheese(also pictured below) the light is only 35 calories and it is soooo good i put it on bread,bagels and crackers and that is my cheese. I find it in my deli section and it is about 4.50 BUT its got 8 wedges in it and 1 wedge is 35 calories so if you don't want to use it all you can wrap it up and put it away BUT it is really good on WASA bread (pictured below) i found mine in the cracker isle..i have only had the multi grain and i eat it for lunch...i take a wedge of of the laughing cow and spread it between 2 crackers and put 2 slices of lunch meat...i eat chicken breast...i don't really like turkey...and that is my lunch that and a piece of fruit and water...AND it fills me up and its good.

38 down!!! 12 to go!!!

I am sooo excited about my weight loss again this week!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have lost 2 lbs since thursday!!!

SCHOOL

Well this is my newest thing..LOL
I would like to go to Bob Jones or Maybe even Ab Tech here in town and see if i can get a 2 yr buisness degree and a minor in baking and pastries. I am thinking of opening a coffee shop!!! My friend and I were brain storming!!! I am soooo excited i can't stand it!!!!
It will be called Flutterby!!! We were thinking of 2 different themes and one is a country modern theme and the other is a paris theme!!!! I will have baking classes in the back for teens and kids. I will play christian piano music and sell music from liek The Wilds, Crown, BJ and HAC. and maybe even folk stuff like Il Divo and Irish Tenors!! Things like that. I will also have coffee and juices of course :-) It would be a very kid friendly place BUT cozy enough for adults.

What ya think??? Let me know :-)
