Fishes...

Whelp, I discovered something awesome about myself this week.

Last Friday, I ate halibut and some celery around noon. By 4pm, I felt so sick, I couldn't stop myself from throwing EVERYTHING up! It was disgusting!!! The next day my ribs were sore and about an hour after my boyfriend had left for work, I noticed a rash forming its way down my face and neck... Now, I don't know if this was all a response to the halibut, but considering I rarely eat fish and a lot of people in my family do have a fish allergy... I'm going to play it safe.


(This is a bad picture, but the only angle I could get to show the rash right in the camera!)

That rash lasted for a good 3 days...  Thank god for makeup right?!

With fish no longer a dietary option for me, I fell back to my good old turkey sandwich! I should confess that I have an obsession with turkey sandwiches. I have had one literally almost everyday. They aren't the fancy kind either, just your plain whole wheat bread, Oscar Mayer turkey, and mayonnaise. That's it. No cheese, no lettuce, and definitely no chips. I hate it when people put chips in sandwiches.... eeeeewww.

I just discovered that people actually do that a few years ago and about lost my shit. WHY?!!!

One of the main things I have been making sure I do is drinking a TON of water! I've been drinking at least 80oz of water everyday. It keeps my stomach from lying to me and telling me I'm hungry. I know we've all heard that before, but it's true. It's also true that not everyone requires the same amount of water. My theory, the larger you are, the more water you require. A friend told me to take my weight (212) and divide it by 2 (106) and that's the amount you should drink in ounces. Drinking 100oz of water is surprsingly  time consuming (I tried that the first few days), but I can get 80oz!

Boy do I have to pee A LOT!!! It's nuts!

At one point, this week I had gone down to 207lbs! That's a good 5lb difference! I was ecstatic!!! Then the 4th of July came, along with family and delicious food! I am now back to 210, BUT that is still a decrease from last week! I'll take it!

By the way, I have discovered the best app!!!! Lifesum. Just like myfitnesspal or spark, you enter in what you eat. BUT, Lifesum has thus lifescore thing. It rates what you're recording and pretty much tells you where you score.






And when you buy the premium (a year is only 1.99/month which is nothing compared to the premium of other apps like this), it tells you what you should add more of to improve your score. It's kind of like a game.


There are even diet plans in there if you are the kind of person who wants those. They're pretty legit. Yeah, I just said "legit"! What of it?! BOOYA!

When it comes to weight loss, all the tools and support around you are great. The more the merrier right?! But we've gotta keep going even when those tools and the support fluctuate, disappear, or suddenly are not as helpful as they used to be. I choose to look at the scale everyday, BUT remember where I was last week. As long as my weight is down by the end of the week, regardless of how it fluctuated the rest of the week, I'm gonna be happy. 

I wish the rest of you luck with your healthy choices and will see you all again next week!

I'm Late!!!

OK, I know I'm two weeks late for this post, but you all know how life happens! So, a few years ago, my mom and I had given ourselves a goal; we were gonna be able to run a 5K by St. Patty's Day. When St. Patty's day came, I ran/jogged the whole thing! Now, I don't remember my time and I know it was more than 30 minutes, but the fact was, I did not stop! My mom managed to run maybe half of it, but for a woman in her 50's who hasn't been active like that in a long time, that was amazing! That gave us so much confidence! So, that summer, my mom and I managed to do one 5K a month! It was awesome! Each time, I got better and better and my mom was able to run more and more.  There was a race that we did back that then where the course made us run on a sidewalk that went under a bridge. We ran and followed the sidewalk until it turned a sharp almost 180 degree and made us go back to the bridge and this time run across it. Imagine my surprise when I cros

Introduction Time!

Why, hello all my lovely peeps!  Hehe... peeps...  Welcome to my blog! Like many women in America, I have struggled with my weight. This blog is about my adventure in getting healthy, both physically and mentally! My hope is that this will not only keep my accountable, but maybe inspire someone out there to take their first steps to a healthy lifestyle. This is why I'm going to be completely open, honest, and candid about my journey. Everything from my "slip ups" to how much I actually way will be posted here. I will also post current pictures of me so we can see if there is any physical change.  So, what prompted this you wonder? So many things!  Last year, my best friend got married. Actually, both my best friends got married, but not to each other. I was a bridesmaid for one of those weddings. HOWEVER, when I went online to buy my dress (the bride was awesome! She chose an affordable dress from target's website!) I realized; it's not available in my size

Love is powerful.

Alright, not gonna lie, I don't really have much to report here. My diet is going OK. We did eat out more often then normal this week, so I'm afraid that as of Friday morning, I'm going strong at 207.8lbs. As of this morning though, I was at 206.4lbs! YAY! However, I'm going by Friday's morning weight, so officially I did not lose anything. BUT I did not gain! And I'm proud of that! There is something I want to talk about though, but it's not about health. Well, not physical health, more emotional health I suppose. Earlier this evening, a friend posted this on Facebook: Posts like these upset me, probably more than they should.  I hate these kinds of posts. If there is ever something to not regret, it's giving love. You can be upset about how the relationship turned out, time you can't make up, but NEVER regret giving somebody love. Giving love is the best gift you can give and you never know what kind of an impact it can have.  It can hurt
