20 down agin

Back to 173. Sorry I havnt posted I've been sick and had a lot going on. Anyways! Just wanted to post a post about progress! Xoxox 

A lot of thinking

So as many of you know, I have a lot going on! Of course I have my normal life of school all week, and work all weekend. But I have been applying for jobs, and planning for my future in Vegas. I also have a bunch of senior projects! On top of all of that I am trying to work out and eat well. Which I have done well. But I am doing the best I can. I love the love and support of everyone! So thank you! I am trying to relax at any moment to not stress my self out. I'm doing pretty well. I haven't gone crazy yet! Anyways I felt like venting my stress out on here. I will feel better when everything falls into place and I'm graduated! Only 2.5 months! WHOOO!

Progress! 37 to go!

So I'm doing well. I feel ready to say I am 176lbs so from my original weight of 193 I am 17lbs down. Stil not all the way back to all my previous lost weight but on my way!!!! My new goal is 139, because it's right below 140, and would be awesome to be in the 130s again( I havnt since 10th grade) so we will see. But that means I am only 37 lbs away from my goal! Which seems very doable. I have been doing better this time. More strict. I also have done run/walking 5k at the gym. I am wanting to continue to push my self to run 5ks again. The fastest I ever did was in 8 grade with a time of 27minutes and 30 sum seconds. I wanna beat that! It will take time and training but I can and will do it! 27 to go! If I could lose it all by December 18rh, that would be the best graduation/ Xmas present. At least the140s! I could wear I nice bikini in Vegas lookin good! Lol but I'm getting ahead of my self.one day at a time!!!! Xoxo

:) happy Friday

Okay so I ment to write weds. But forgot to. Anyways I've lost ten pounds since Italy! So yay! I've lost italy weight and a lil more. Anyway no carbs is going well. I ha a revolution today. I got invited to a party tonight. I thought wow how fun! Then I thought more. If I go I will drink, prob eat anything while I'm drunk, and buy the booze and food. So I wouldn't remember it, spend money, and gain the weight back.

Umm no. Ya so I decided not to anyways got to go! Xoxox 

Going extremely well.

So I have started back up with the no carb no junk diet. The weight is flying off I have lost 6lbs already since Wednesday. Feeling great too! So ya! Thanks for  the continuous support and love. I plan on being -15 down by weds so only 9 more to go, if I keep on this track I should have no problem meeting my goal if I stay on track. Anyways I have two classes today and then hitting the gym again! 

Returning fom Italy

So as many of you know, I just took an amazing trip for school to Italy. We ate tons of pasta, meats, cheese, and pizza, and of course wine. It was wonderful. Unfortunately now I am home I see the results. So I don't want to reveal how much I've gained but it was significant. All of my hard work was pretty much throw away. I begin tomorrow on my new journey. Again no carbs, no pop, no booze, no junk, just good natural food. Along with the gym with the support of Adrian, my boyfriend as well. A start of a new journey also means a start of blogging and posting again. Anyway I would love the love and support you all have given me the first time around. I know I can do it, so I know it will motivate me to do it even better now. We plan on moving to Las Vegas Nevada when we graduate in December. The first time I dieted, I lost 25lbs in 40 days. Lets do a goal of 55lbs by graduation, it will be hard and I will be craving lot of food, but it will be worth it!. Xoxoxo -cioa

A year ago

So found this picture from my sisters graduation almost exactly a year ago! And a picture I took today! Kinda crazy to see next to each other! Also I now have an Instagram for te blog as well if you would like to follow it! 

It's been a little while :/

I havnt been on top of everything like I should, I'm only human :/. But I started this week trackin and doing better. I havnt gain too much, stil 21 down. Time to get back at it. So I started three days ago eating better and tracking everything! So far I've been doing well on my 1200 diet(what my tracking plan tells me to eat at) so I went on a hike yesturday at the Vanderbilt mansion it was beautiful. Today I ran down the road to a park and back, not too far but a start. Lots of hills, kicked my ass! The pic elbow is when I got home looking beat up and red lol. But i so far have ate cottage cheese and grapes. I have healthy snacks packed for a day full of classes! Anyway getting this weightloss back in check lots more to go!   I would love to lose thirty by the end of July. We will see! 

Healthy eating

So tonight I ate really clean, raw food. I ate a pear, an orange, a tomato and avacado salad, and a few pieces of cheese my guilty pleasure!!! Anyways bad pic but feel great about my food today

Moving on down!

So it's been a while since I've posted. I have been more worried at my health. I have had a hell of a month batteling different illnesses. But at least it's over! Knock on wood! But I have still lost weight over all, eating whatever I wanted to keep my strength up. I was yesturday 169.6! That means one more pound until I hit 25 lost! My clothes don't fit anymore. It's a good and funny feeling. It's good because it means I'm getting skinner and losing weight! But bad because now I don't have many choices of items to wear. Plus if is but clothes at the size I am and lose more then it's a waste of money. Bittersweet. I'll get to wear really cute clothes if I keep this up! My goal is still 140ish for Italy! I'll settle for 150 but 140 is ideal still knowing I'm only 20-30 away doesn't seem so bad. I've also been walking in trails here with Adrian. We love the nature walks! I think that it's helping too. I am starting to track my food again. We will see how it goes! 

Eat well, be well!

So I am eying fresh healthy food! I am down -20 pounds! I've been so busy lately but still being successful! I am also into couponing! If Anyone has any inserts they don't want I will take them in a heart beat! I need to write this paper but I knew I hadn't wrote in a while so yeH! -20! 

Around the same.

No change, 15lbs lost on the dot today. Buckling down back to normal now, hopefully lost by the weekend.

Up early

So I am up early today! Can never sleep longer then 6 hrs if I drank the night before. I had a friend over last night and we drank so cocktails, some hard cidars, and went to another friends and had prosecco. Now my body use to be able to take all of this in well, and I can still hold my alcohol well, I can still tell me limits, but when I drank my stomach wasn't ready for that much acid, and different alcohols. Don't worry I didn't get sick, my stomach just hurt bad last night and ideally I would eat carbs with that to help, but I had to find other options. I had to eat cheese, yogurt, and almonds and I hoped they would settle it. They did! But at the same time, having some fun with my friend cost me so much. I drank enough caleries for my whole food amount for the day. I didn't eat carbs, but I was way over my calorie count! On top of all of that I feel toxic. I was so detox and light. It was great I was a new version of myself. This morning I feel bloated, regretful, and tired. And for what a little buzz for a couple hours? It wasn't worth it. I can tell today I will be sluggish at least in the morning. I am surprised I don't have a hang over, mixing that much useally will give me one. I am going to way myself around 10 like I useally do. I just hit the 15lb make too. Maybe all of that is gone now! I wouldn't be surprised. I am getting back on the wagon today, eating better. Feeling guilty and feeling like I let everyone down. I won't accept this defeat and hopefully I still have your wonderful support! Now I am going to try to sleep a few hours :) haha 

Week 4 P90x

So on day two of my forth week of p90x! Getting stronger! I haven't lost, I actually gained .4 but that could just be from salt or muscle gain. But just thinking and staying strong is working well. I am really trying hard to focus more and work harder on myself, physically, and spiritually. I want better grades and a better me. I am trying to be the best version of myself I can. I am starting to change tastes. I want more fresh ingredients. I am craving watermelon, peaches, apples, pears, berries, along with vegetables such as cauliflower, mushrooms, artichokes, asparagus, tomato, I just love fresh food. I feel lighter, like the best my body has felt in a long time. My body feels happy for the food I give it. Carbs don't bother me very much in the sense of eating them. I want to eat them but I know if I do how I will feel. The fruit and vegetables I have been eating give me better carbs energy which is hard to deny. I feel like I am slowly turning into a health food junky, I don't think that is a bad thing though. I saw a recipe for a cake, which wasn't a cake at all, it was a watermelon with the rind cut off and then  you frost it with low fat cream cheese and powdered sugar and topped with more fruit. It sounds so great! Which is weird because normally I would think that is gross. I don't know but this seems like a good sign!

Gotta go study now!!

-ciao!

Under 180

Officially 179.4! I ate some bad food today so I am feeling blah.... but just wanted to post and thank you all for the support so far! It means a lot to me. I am knowing I am 39lbs away from 140 is awesome! Anyway onto week four of p90x this week. Have a great night y'all!

About to cry

I am so sad. I miss so much food. I almost cracked today and cheated I don't because Adrian don't want to share , which I don't blame him. In front of me sat a large plate of pasta with pancetta, sage, parm, and an egg! Omg I died looking at it!!! I wanted a bite so bad I would have caves if he let me! It's getting harder not eating my favorite foods! So I need to vent about all the foods I miss incredibly much!!!! 

Butter noodles, chicken Parmesan, creamy sausage baked pasta, potatoes gratin, nachos, pasta, pasta, any kind of pasta, BOOZE(of any kind), pasta, ravioli, tortolini, rice, potatoes, corn, corn casserole, tacos, bread, sub sandwiches,  brea crumbs, stuffing, mashed potatoes, chips and dip, basically any carb rice, corn, flour, or potato produced. 

I am sad I miss all of there things my diet is mostly fish, chicken, pork, beef, cheese, yogurt, fruit, and vegetables. Pardon my French but it f*cking sucks! It is getting harder with everyday watching people cook at school. Also I feel like part of me missing. I hate it. I look back everyday at what I have accomplished I feel like I have came so far, and can't help but feel proud of myself. But now I have become inspired by others who are inspired by me. It helps me feel like I am doing well. Everytime I get told I am doing great or you look great, it is great. It makes me feel very inspired! I also miss popcorn, sushi, and candy by the way. P90x doesn't bother me much anymore, I am almost done with my 3rd week! Almost a third of the way through! I wanna get shirts after saying I did it. I miss food and it sucks, I miss cookie cake, cake, ice cream, brownies, mac n cheese, and most items availible from apple pie. 

Also I think it is fair to thank Adrian for everything so far. He always holds me up when I am down. He pushes me even when I am feeling lazy. He is always making me better! Thank you Adrian! 

Slowly losing

So I am 181.8 labs now. Almost out of the 180s! This week has been a rough one as far as success. I cheated a little and I didn't work out for two of the days I should have. It showed in my progress. I am back on track and working harder and eating better then the beginning of the week. I am still going down slowly in like .2 lb increments. I am going to try hard this weekend to get out of the 180's. Hopefully by Sunday I can say I am in the 170's. I am slowly getting closer to 15lb mark! Whoop! I am at 11.8 lost! One day at a time! Well off to class! Ciao!

Taco salad

Made taco salad for dinner! It was only 650 caleries! No fat sour cream and reduced fat cheese! It's so yummy! No weight loss but did p 90x today! Back to losing let's go!

Bocuse

Went to Bocuse for lunch. It was great! I cheated a little today by eating a brownie. I felt guilty. But as long as I only eat it just a little, meaning like once every two weeks, I think I will be ok. Not any loss. I havnt been working out I hurt my back at work. I think I should be back at it Tommrow! I still have been under in caleries! Start a new semester Tommrow I am excited! 

I am not off track but just not as intense right now. I am Also getting a cold boo! I can't wait to feel better! I need to get back to p90x! 

Tired and cranky

I am still alive I hurt my back at work still losing weight just cranky and don't wanna post today, I will 2mrow!

Week Two P90x COMPLETE!

So just finished my kempo workout for p90x, my last work out for the week! whoop! So far I have lost 10.6lbs! My newest near goal I've set it to get out of the 180s. I only have three pounds to go!  ah well I'm gonna go relax before I hit work!

Short post

Got called into work, didn't  eat much  because of that. I'll prob lose a lot because of all the extra walking and drinking water and not really eating. Same drill 2mrow except I am gonna deff eat more! So tired ciao! Eat well be well! 

Late Night Post

So I haven posted all day. I haven't been busy, I have a week off of school. I got bad news today as far as my grades go, but I've been praying to God about it. I think he wants to teach me something out of this situation. Gob never put anything on your plate you can't handle. I have lost a total of 9.2 lbs! I haven't been super hungry either, which is good. I can fit into pants I haven't worn since the beginning of last year. No carbs really suck. I really miss penne vodka, pasta of any kind, potatoes, rice, and couscous. I had a couple bites of breaded chicken in my salad, naturally I flipped out a bit! Besides that little slip up I haven't had a carb since new years eve. Same with alcohol. If you know me you know I love wine with a passion! But being without it has made my diet so much easier. It kinda sucks but I thought to myself today when I heard the bad news about school, what would that glass of wine help? It would make me feel worse, bloated, and munch out on whatever I wanted. Plus I don't know if I have my tolerance any more, and if not, what if I get drunk on accident and make butter noodles? Is it worth stepping on that scale and seeing all of your work and progress gone, no it's not. I even had a friend trying to get me to eat chocolate, I politely declined and she kept saying eat it eat it! I wasn't gonna make a scene at the table at school and say I am on a diet and can't eat it. I just said no over and over again. I am stronger then I use to be. I use to say sure, take a bite and write it, its ok if its a little right? Wrong. For me if I am going to eat chocolate cake, its going to be a molten lava cake with whipped cream. I am an all or nothing kind of person. If I let myself have a little I will crumble everything I have worked for. I really want to wake up in the morning with the scale saying -10. Of course its not my goal and I still have a lot to go but it is a huge. I am even more excited for the end of the weekend. If I stay on track I should hit the 170s. If I hate those I may cry. I haven't been that size since Disney, almost two years ago. When I get to 160s I will be the size I was when I arrived to college. When I get to 150s that will be the size I was my senior year of college. When I get to 140s that will be my junior year. When I get the 130s that will be the size I was at the begging of school. My ultimate goal is 125, but I want to be fit too, which may make it hard to become below 130. If I was 130 I would always ware crop tops, I would get a belly ring and rock it, why the hell not, I worked hard for this. I just thought I would vent to you about what my weight loss would be to me. I don't have a date I want to hit all of this by, but I want to be this at some point, and continuously losing. When I go to Italy I want to look good! So August, 8 months, we will see. Alright I may go to sleep now cioa

End of semester

Semester is finally over! Yay! So I am feeling confident in my progress and I have to thank Adrian. It is so much easier when he works out with me by my side! Already a week and a half into p90x! I feel so confident and good! I can't wait til I lose more to upload a bikini shot! Ah! One day at a time! I have lost 8lbs!

Salad for the Gods

So today I wasn't really hungry only ate this salad and a cheese stick today, I studied hard today then started week two of p90x! It is easier to do the moves this week! Lost again I have now lost 7.4! And as big as this salad is, I make the dressing, and only used a lil oil to sear the meat lean tasty and makes me feel like I'm eating a ton! Any who, off to eat and study! 

Worked

Lost some weight back to where I was, 5 lbs total lost. Went to work kicked my ass. I am exhausted. I just wanna sleep today, but I have homework and football is on of course! 

Bad day

Feel horrible today. I'm getting sick. I had a horrible day over all and feel horrible about myself right now. No loss today. Still doing p90x on a Friday with my lemon water, still under my caleries too. I think I am eating too much salt. Ugh. Going back to work Tommrow I can't wait. I need money BAD. Lots of exams next week. Super stressed. Ughhhhhh!!!! Really disappointed in myself today

No loss

Gained .2 of a pound. Ughhhh worked out 90 mins hope it helps.

Stir fry

So tonight I made an Asian stir fry with my special noodles that are only 30 caleries.Most lo main stir frys are like 1000 caleries this one is only 450! Lost more weight today, lost 6lbs so far! Eat we'll be well my friends! 

Good day

Nothing special today, eat well and under my limit. A little sore from doing day two of p90x. I spoiled myself for dinner! On my salad for dinner I boiled three eggs and ate the yolks, I had like 700 caleries to blow! I felt kind guilty but I ate it right after I worked out hard, and it is really good in protein! Still no carbs though even eating at school! I lost another 1.4 pounds! Overall lose is 4.4 pounds! Pretty solid so far! Gonna keep it up this time! 

No carbs, no problem

So I am on a struck no carb diet. I miss my pasta, bad! So I read up on no carb meals and came up on no carb pasta, I was doubtful! I found these weird noodles, and they were in water, they are made from chick pea flour! I hate chick peas but it had no carbs an a whole package is 30 calories! So I did it with some spicey turkey sausage which was also a risk! But I ate it and let me tell you, I don't believe that this is diet food!!!! This whole meal normally is about 900 calories! This version include the cheese is 475! I am in love what a home run! It's all about the noodles, you have to rinse them for about two minutes, then lightly pan  fry them, then cook them in whTever sauce you have for another 3 minutes! It almost has the texture of ramen noodles! I didn't lose any weight today, but I worked out hard today hopefully it pays off! 

Pork chops!

So I made a grilled pork chop with califlower "rice", sautéed greenbeans with red onion. So I marinated to make the pork flavorful with herbs and garlic. Then I  grated the califlower to make it look like rice. It was actually ok, it was the texture of couscous. After that I did some frozen bean in the fridge with some fresh sautéed onion! It was great and ony about 400 calories! Whooo! I also lost another pound today! Yay! 

Cheese board!

So today I made a fruit and cheese board! It is packed with energy and with low fat cheese! Of course portion control as well! I love it! I feel like I'm not giving up so much! It must be working because I've lost 2 lbs total so far! Whoooo! 

Day three

Today I am still under 127 caleries! I made chicken soup, instead of noodles I made my zucchini into noodles. I also madebreakfast today of a vegetarian egg white souffle.It was only 87 caleries! It kept me full for hours as well. I feel I may be eatign too much salt still, but I feel like I am deffinetly eating better! Even this morning I saw progress, I lost half a pound! I am dink lemon cucumber water up as much as I can! I had my first urg at the store today for pasta, but of course it passed. It will be hard to get over not eating any, it is my favorite food. But for now I am doing ok! I wish I was rich, I would buy all seafood! Scallops, my heavenly sin, are so good for you and fish is incredible! I can't wait til I go back to work to make some money!

New year, New me?

I am back at it again!its a new year and so far I have done well. I have a lot to lose as far as weight and a lot to gain as a fit person. So today is day two of my 1,400 calorie diet and I am doing great so far! I am 60 calories under my limit! I have been drinking more water, no carbs, and limited fats of all kinds. No big changes yet, but hopefully soon! I am really looking for support, and for if people really like the blog I would love to write about everything I cook in a healthy way. As for dinner I made a seared salmon.Along with that I had roasted mushrooms, garlic, onions, and cauliflower. I put about a 1/2 a tbsp of oil just so the vegetables didn't burn and another 1/2 tbsp for the salmon not to stick. Also with that I made a salad, cucumbers, red onions, and tomatoes, and just some red wine vinegar. No oil needed! It was tasty and I got full about half way threw the meal! I still have salad in there for later if I want it! I know what I need to eat and how to cook food healthy, so I am going to try to do my best! I am certainly going to try! I only ask for feedback, what you would want to see on here, what you think of how I am doing! I will do my best to keep up with the blog! Ciao for now y'all!
