Sunday I was not feeling well at all... I had a bad headache all day and didn't get up to go to the gym. That was a day lost!!!

Guess who joined me in the gym Monday night FINALLY!!

My MOTHER!!! I have been asking her to come with me to the gym and she has been postponing it for the longest... So I was real happy to have her with me!

I felt the burn tonight!!! That elliptical is NO JOKE! I am upset I didnt get to take a pic of my workout summary but you see the sweat!

I have been thinking and figured I'd add a punishment to this journey of mine. So you know how I'm doing the whole no/low carb? Well if I go crazy on a day and pass my limit of 20-30 net carbs.. I will have to go to the gym that night. That being said I am gonna kick it up a notch with my eating where I shouldn't have to go crazy in the gym and exhaust myself. The weight should just drop off by the way I eat. I have done a lot of research thus far and seen success stories also back when I did something like this a few years ago. PROTEIN & VEGGIES

With that being said, Wednesday I did bad and went out to eat for breakfast.. I had eggs, sausages patties, gravy and a english muffin. Dinner I had steak and broccoli.

I'm going to chime you in on whats been happening...

I was in the gym at least 3-4 times a week the last couple of weeks in Jan. I was also on my no carbs which I lost 7 in a week in a half that I was strict with both exercise & eating. I was excited and that kept me motivated until I went up to NYC for 2wks.

So let me tell you the #'s.. I started at 294 in Jan... lost the 7lbs which took me to 287.

1/28/2016

The week before I left for NY.. I fell off and gained 3lbs. So when I went to NY my last weigh in was 290.

2/9/2016

While there... I ate horrible.. Ice cream, cookies, muffins, pasta, bread etc.. you name it I probably ate it.. well not really.

Shrimp & Grits

Plantain Chips & Guac

I did really enjoy my stay but I was still cautious of how much I ate...

Frozen Margarita

There was no gym involved which I did actually look into getting a week pass at my cousins gym. FAIL! I also thought about walking my sister & cousins dog. FAIL! It snowed and was below zero out there. I've been away for almost 10 years.. not use to that anymore.

Now fast forward to now.. back home in GA... I went to the gym and was scared to get on that scale to see the damage I put back on my body. I couldn't even do my hour on the elliptical.. I managed to do 43mins... plus there was this cute guy that distracted me...

When I stepped foot on that scale it read... 285! I had to step off reset it and try again. That bad boy read 285.

2/25/2016

So not only did I somehow lose 5lbs.. but I'm smaller than my last lowest #.

You know I am on top of the world.. plus I just got my cycle. #WINNING

2014-09-08T11:00:00.000-04:00

I am back at it... I must say this is the hardest thing ever!!! But I am back at it..

This time my goal is to lose at least 8-10lbs a month... I tried to start mid August and proceeded to lose 6.8lbs in 16 days!!! I was soooo excited! So being that its September 1, I have a full month to lose another 2lbs per week this month.

Another thing that I am doing is Vlogging! I know myself and know that I am not the best writer, so by me vlogging my foods, activity & feelings... I will be able to keep up with my post and letting you know my progress.

2014-01-26T22:37:00.000-05:00

Friday- Today was easy.. no headache no complaints.. BUT I did eat a naked cupcake. If you didn't know.. I have a cupcake business. I have to try the cake every once in a while to see if its good.

Don't yell at me.. I felt bad though.. at least I did put frosting on it!!

Tomorrow will be ONE week!!!

Breakfast: 2 eggs cheese and sausage

Lunch: Cheese stick, celery sticks and pork rinds

Dinner: 2 pieces of flounder and broccoli

Saturday- 1 week!!! This has been a long week, OMG! But I did pull through. I lost 4.4lbs!!!! (round of applause) Feeling great and accomplished. All the headaches I had.. I'm so glad I stuck it out. On to week 2!

Tonight I have a birthday party to attend and temptation will definitely show its face tonight. #STRESS!

Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with cheese and leftover broccoli and 3 pieces of bacon

Lunch: A large bowl of salad

Dinner: 2 bacon McDoubles w/o the bread and bacon. They forgot my bacon after I paid $2 more for it!!

Attending a birthday party...

Sunday- Soooo... I had a good time at the party last night.. BUT.. yup, there is a but! I ATE!!!! They had chicken wings (good) meatballs (somewhat good) tuna pasta salad (BAD) beans and meat (BAD) chips n dip (BAD) liquor (BAD). The ONLY thing that was good for me was the chicken wings and I only had 3 of them.. everything else I ATE.. and it was sooo good but sooo bad!! :(

I guess I was so happy with -4.4lbs lost I treated myself.. Not good.

I decided that Atkins is HARD and from the week that I just had (headaches).. I dont think it is right for me.. as in being STRICTLY atkins.. so what I will do is add Black Girls Workout Too into my journey. This adds fruits and the other veggies to my list of allowed foods. Still no white carbs which I am fine with... let's see how this works.

I will also be adding exercise. I've been doing squats at night using my bed pole and I feel it a little. That's good!!

Breakfast: 2 eggs cheese and salmon

Lunch: 2 Deviled eggs :(

Dinner: I dont know what I was thinking when I made this.. but I'm glad my mind was 2 steps ahead!!! It was delicious. I sauteed some brussel sprouts and added some breakfast sausage, chicken and a egg with onions.

It's back!!

2014-01-23T23:00:00.000-05:00

I woke up with a headache AGAIN!!!!
I drunk a small cup or straight coffee, got in a hot shower and it was gone!!!

So I dont know if I mentioned this.. but I'm on babysitting duty for the next couple of weeks... Happy but tempting! Toddlers can EAT and love crackers.. but I have been doing good!!! He got here last week Sunday and its been easy breezy until TODAY!!!! I made him a grilled cheese and the smell of the butter melted with the cheese and the BREAD... OMG!!!

This is what happened...
It was hot so I broke a piece off and checked the temp with my mouth.. and it just fell in o_O... yes I ate about 3 pieces of it... I must say that I felt bad after... but I did good considering I didnt get up and make a sandwich for myself... HUMPH!!!!

Breakfast:
2 eggs scrambled with cheese and chicken

Lunch:
Celery and a nice bowl of salad

Dinner:
Crab legs with garlic butter and a piece of salmon

No headache!!!!!

2014-01-22T21:30:00.000-05:00

Yay for me!!

I dont know what happened or why no headache.. Not really asking! But I felt better today. Maybe finally my body is getting use to it.

2014-01-19T17:12:00.006-05:00

Last night I went to bed with a slight headache.. Atkins does that to you. I took something for it and it seemed like it was a LONGGG night. I woke up still with it but not as bad. I took another pill and drunk some straight black coffee with my breakfast this morning. Right now.. I still feel blahhh.. It's Sunday so its kind of a relax day for me.. Tomorrow I hope I feel better because I have business to do.

Breakfast:
2 eggs scrambled with provolone cheese and 2 sausages

Lunch:
Salad.. kale, spinach & iceberg lettuce with cheese and chicken

Dinner:
I haven't decided yet.. Ill get back to you on that.

Hello again..

2014-01-18T19:36:00.002-05:00

I need to start by saying... Yes, I am back at it.. Oh! and Happy New Years!

I will try to make this short and sweet...

Obvious you know why I am writing this... so no need to go into that. Just some key points to mention:

Atkins
100 day challenge (1/18/2014 - 4/28/2014)
Clean eating
Working out

See wasn't that short!

Now you can continue to read.. that's totally up to you.

I will now go into detail...

I will be doing the Atkins again.. I was so proud of myself back in 2011 when I had went to Vegas.. I was 30lbs lighter. I know I can do it.. its just basically a mental game!
I decided to challenge myself to a 100 day challenge.. 100 is a general milestone and I will be going to Vegas again during the third week of May.. Hopefully this time I will reach 30lbs lost and exceed!! Also I will be going a few other places and it doesn't hurt to look sexy in a bathing suit. Did I mention it will start getting warmer by then?? Why wait until its warm to get fit and workout.. by then you would have wished you did it during the winter months. So this leads to clean eating and working out...
I went food shopping today to start off this 100 day challenge RIGHT! I actually had a bacon McDouble for Micky D's and threw away the bread... It's the Atkins way!!! Why pay 3/4 dollars for a sandwich that you wont be even eating the bread??? Dollar menu!! I had to grab something before I went shopping cause I would of bought the whole store if I didn't.
Working out.... who really enjoys it... especially during the winter? I have to get back in my habits. I have workout videos and I also have winter clothes... I have to do either or!!!

Instead of the items.. Ill show the receipt.

Breakfast:

2 eggs scrambled with chicken and cheese

Lunch:

McDonald's- Bacon McDouble w/o bread

Dinner:

Salad & chicken with broccoli

look at those grill marks!

See you tomorrow!
