Day 1.....
Ok, so the biggest loser contest has officially started... I don't have much motivation, but it'll get there, ok, it HAS to... I went to try on some scrubs tonight and I'll be darn if I felt the worst I have in yrs and I have been heavier and bigger than this before. Seems my hips have expanded, so much belly fat it's horrible to just even look at. And as crazy as this sounds, I feel like I have shrunk! I really do hate this feeling I'm having...
But today went pretty well, not great at dinner, but it's a start and it's day 1, tomrrow will be a much better day I can only hope... everyday can't be 100% and I know this.... trial & error, right!? LOL
Breakfast:
1 cup multigrain cherrios
1 cup soy milk
1 med banana
4 donut holes * Sooo much better than the cream filled, glazed and choc I wanted to eat, compromise! ;) *
Lunch:
None - I was too busy getting my hair done.
Dinner: Went to BJ's;
3 handfuls of chips w/ salsa
3 southwest egg rolls (Yum)
2 slices of pizza w/ pepp, sau, beef, tomatoes
1 HUGE macamamia nut cookie w/ ice cream - now there was 2 scoops of ice cream, I shared w/ my niece and she had a few bites of my cookie & hubby took a few bites as well, I'll say "improvement." LOL
4 tbsp ranch for pizza dip
Snack:
1 pretzel (jalapeno) from Annie's w/ cheese sauce
Lite Blueberry yogurt (taking antibiotic, might as well make sure I'm getting some acidolphilus)
Exercise:
Walked for about 1 hour in the mall
Did 1 mile w/ WWL (Walking w/ Leslie) - 10 minutes
Water:
Approx 68 oz
Ok, so day 1 wasn't THAT great, but I think I did a great job so *pat on the back* for me. LOL Yes, I know... small steps are a start and I'll take it ....
Oh yes, let's not forget the highlights I got in my hair... I really like em', whatcha think!?

I know, "great face" but I was just messing around and just so happens it was the best pic of my hair, front and back... go figure! ;)
Until we meet again, friend, G'nite and talk to you soon....

Today...
Ok, so I'm reading this WW magazine and read something interesting... "Sitting disease: The name of this condition, which results from spending too much time in a seated position, was recently coined by US physicians. The malady leads to weight gain, increased risk for blood clots, and back pain. If you sit at a desk for most of the day, you're a likely candidate. A simple RX? Stand rather than sit while on the phone; this will make you more apt to pace, which reduces your risk for the condition."
Hmmm... rather interesting... what do you think?
Today was a fairly decent day... didn't eat too well, but that's ok, tomorrow is a new start, I'll be making plans for my meals, better decision making and better choices food wise.
Went to lunch w/ my friend, Misty. We hit up this yummy Mexican food place, Gloria's and then went to Bucks, our fav shaved ice place... she got Strawberry Cheesecake w/ cream and I got wedding cake w/ cream.... oh how I love you Bucks! ;)
Got home and then went to get kiddos hair cut, Kady got her first, get some fabric and then got dinner out and headed home. I got kiddos bathed, in bed and then started laundry.. I'll be done w/ the kiddos tomorrow and then I'll wash mine tomorrow night so that I can be ready for Sat... I'm getting my hair done... that'll be exciting. I've decided long layers hair cut, and putting red / blonde highlights in my hair. That'll be fun...
So... until next time, we'll see how well I start off my new lifestyle.... :D
Hugs ....

Have you seen my motivation?
Where to begin...
Seems lately I have NO motivation what-so-ever to lose weight, nor the energy to actually accomplish this task. Seems when I was going to school, working full time job, tending to 2 kids and all that jazz, I had more energy, more motivation and more TIME to actually accomplish everything... now I'm just working, done with school, succeeded in passing my stuff for school and became the nurse I've wanted to be and now I'm tired all the time, no time to workout, no room to workout in this house w/ everyone home and feel bad if I get a gym membership seeing as how I'm needed at home... or I feel as though I am and need to make sure I'm here since hubby 's been w/ kiddos all day... I'm in a rut.
I started using this product by Kirstie Alley, Organic Liasion (sp) and it's not 1/2 bad, and yet I'm not using it to the full advantage as I should be ... it's supposed to help curb cravings for sugar, help assisit to lower your appetite and yet it's all organic ingredients.... I wish I just felt like I could do it all again, be home, workout, take care of the house, cook, clean, laundry, dishes, and just be SUPERMOM! I don't feel that way anymore, I feel useless, lazy, washed up.... Grrr... then I get angry at myself for letting myself spiral out of control... I need to get a meeting for myself for overeaters anon... maybe that would help to locate my MOJO!!!
Have you seen my mojo!? ;)
Anyway... thanks for letting me vent... I start a biggest loser competition w/ the DFWareamoms.com board, so we'll see how that goes. I'll post my progress through this whole ordeal... look forward to hearing what you think I should do and how I could possibly get out of this rut...
Hugs ~ Lizzy

Hmm... what to think....
Well, it's been a while as you may or may not have noticed. I'm on the weight loss journey, but just in a rut. Don't feel like working out, don't feel motivated to do anything and or make a difference in my life. I can't explain what it might be... but I'll have to figure that out I'm sure. :(
Anyway, well some great things have come into my life..... I'm an LVN! Can you believe it!? I passed my NCLEX (state boards) and now I can change my life for the better or myself & my family and hopefully find a place I feel accepted and that I love. I want to LOVE my job... so we'll see how everything goes and I'll have to keep you updated on that part of my life.
But something is missing... seems the person I love the most, is my best friend and partner in everything we do would be excited for me. I came home excited, felt like it was a new start to our lives and yet, nothing. Just, "that's great poot." I mean all the sacrifice WE did, only to feel like I did it for nothing, that it was nothing, it wasn't an achivement nor was it anything that could make us have something to look forward to. It's frustrating...
All he cares about these days is his half brother that's in jail, his half brothers daughter, brother, online games, making sure that he gets to write, talk to his half brother... I feel like I'm just "here." Tonight I got a package in the mail from the Texas Board of Nursing w/ my certificate for my licensure... he says, "Texas Board of Nursing, whoo." I wasn't certain weather he was excited and or just being a smart-a**! It really hurts my feelings that he'll spend all hours of the night on the computer looking stuff up for his half brother and then spend 1 min looking at me like, "Wow, LVN, big deal." Well it is to me, I worked my a** off for that, was pregnant during the experience and trying to maintain my schooling w/ 2 kids, 1 on the way, working full time and NO time to study. I did all this with GODS GRACE! I know it was God, I know it was him standing beside me helping me through all the tough times... but the one person I really thought would be just ELATED, isn't.
But then again... seems that I'm the only one really really enthused... I talk about it and ppl just smile and nod like, "Uh huh, next topic." I really wish I had a friend that wanted to just listen to me rant... *sigh*
Guess it's time to sign out... I'm tired, annoyed, iritated and depressed...
Life will get better, right!?

To New Starts
Today was a wonderful day, full of many surprises and feeling of greatness and change to come. Nice change though! First of all, I weighed myself this AM, I started at 306 yesterday and was 303 lbs this morning, I'll take it. LOL I know it's not great to lose weight this quick, but in the long haul, I'm going to add carbs back into my life and make some major changes, I need this, my family needs this. So, that started the morning to a great start.
When I got to work, I was cking my FB, reading my tweets, and cking many other things for the day. I got a txt message from a school friend telling me to check my email that I had a great letter. It was a letter to say that I was eligible to advance to the NCLEX (state boards) so that I may try for my LVN licensure. I was elated and went ahead and scheduled my test. Now, I should probably give you some background on the 3 friends I have at school. I've been friends with one for a while and we've been throught a lot together, held each other's back when we needed the help and upheld each other. She's a great gal. My other friend we've only really become good friends near the end, but no matter the time, I adore my friends. Anyway, we have all struggled together in this journey and when it came to HESI (our exit exam for school) it just felt like we would never get through it.
One day, my mom gave me this CD and it said "Watch for 3's in 2010" by Pastor Benny Thomas. Now a lot of people feel that his word is a hoax, but I assume it's for each person to determine who they want to listen to. That day I listened to him, changed my life, our lives. :) Now to back it up a bit, we had sat for our first HESI exam on the 3rd of February, needless to say we all failed. I guess "fail" is a negative term, we just didn't surpass the points value they determined we should meet. Ok, so on to test #2... we all studied, did what we thought was right only to get to the testing site, Feburary 24 and we didn't get through it again. I don't know if you have ever been defeated 2x at something, but it can really bring you down and I just felt like I didn't have a chance. I had asked God many a time if I was in the right place, right school, right position to possibly be in. I love helping people and I love the medical world, yet it seemed that it didn't love me back. I felt that I didn't learn everything I was supposed to and it was taking a hold of me, my life, my thoughts, my attitude. I just couldn't get passed feeling like a FAILURE! I know I wasn't, but when it gets to the point where you feel you have no chance, you just can't seem to shake it.
Ok, so back to the CD. I don't know why my mom laid it down for me, but I just picked it up, put it in the computer and hit "play" and it was the best CD that I could have listened to and it was meant for me, meant for us 3. I was just listening to this man go on and on about the revelation of the number 3 in the bible, "everything happens in 3's", he said, "weather it be good or bad. When you see the #3, just know that God is trying to get your attention, he needs to tell you something." Ok, yes I get that, but what does this have to do with me? I just kept listening praying that God would tell me why I just felt so compelled to listen to this disk, to this man that repeated himself so much. As I listened, I focused in on the calender just cking the date that was to come that would be my test date, scared out of my mind and feared the worst. All of a sudden, it's like a light bulb went on, I "saw" everything I needed to see. I started crying and said, "I heard you Lord, I get it."
This is what I got from his words: "Think of 3's, this is your 3rd time to take this test, March 17th fell on the 3rd month (March), 3rd week of the month and Wednesday is the 3rd day of the week. There are 3 of you that have struggled together, tried to keep each other lifted and you will all 3 feel success on this day and you will pass." I was so excited and I talked to my mom when she was done with her appointment and proceeded to tell her what I saw. I don't know if you have ever felt like something was just right with the world and NO MATTER WHAT, this was MY confirmation for us and I was going to tell them about it. Ok, so if you got goosebumps, great, we all did. ;) After talking to my friend about this confirmation (not one of the 3) she said, "Well look at the calendar, it's St Patricks day too, 3 leaf clover." I was seeing 3's everywhere. It was the best feeling in the world. I just knew that was going to be our night and low and behold, it was OUR night. We all 3 passed. Praise God.
So on to the essential part, after my long drawn out story, the 2 friends and myself, us 3 are going to do our ethics test online together tomorrow, as it's open book, and then we have all scheduled our NCLEX on the 6th day of April at 8A. I can't tell you what it means to me to walk with my friends to this test and watch us succeed. One of the friends said, "You're my good luck charm." Yet, I had NOTHING to do with this except God entrusted me with his message. I told them, it's not me, it's God and he's letting us know that everything is going to be ok and were going to move forward, together. What a great feeling.
Also, today I took my 2 daughters to the dr's office for their 2 yr (Kadence) and 2 mo (Isabella). They did great considering they each got shots. Isabella is doing great, 3 mo, weighs 11 lbs 11 oz, 23 1/4 inches long. She's 55% for height and 30% for weight. Doesn't seem she's grown much at all and for me this is a new one because I've never had one of MY children be that low in the weight department! ;) Don't get me wrong, I pray that she doesn't have any weight problems, but yet I don't want to see "Failure to thrive" either. Ok, Kadence was 33 lbs, 35 inches long. She's 75% for height and 95% for weight, as you can see, this is what's "normal" to me. LOL All in all, they did great and our Ped was very pleased with everything.
Ok, now w/ the low carb plan, here we go:
Breakfast:
20 oz water
3 eggs scrambled
1 link sausage
pinch of cheese
Lunch:
Low Carb tortilla (wheat) with fajita ckn, carrots & cheese rolled up
Extra Fajita ckn w/ carrots mixed with 2 hardboiled eggs
Snack:
Apple
Dinner:
Pre-marinated fajita ckn
Bacon
Scrambled eggs
Cheese
Snack:
Sugar free jello (Strawberry banana) with whip cream
Total water:
20 oz (Ok, time to load up on the water)
Workout:
None. Seems everytime I "plan" to do a workout, I'll have NO time at work and or time when I get home. Ugh, I know, seems like excuses, but I'll get past this too.
Today was a great day, thank you God. Everything worked out pretty well, I kept on my food plan as I'm not going overboard on what fruits & veggies I can have b/c many of them you're not supposed to eat and I'm not going to count my calories or my carbs, I'm just going to make sure that I know my limits.
Well seems I've "talked" enough for now, I'll be sure to update more tomorrow and keep you updated on my plan.
G'nite & sweet dreams friends and when life gets you down, keep looking up so the devil can't see your face. :)

Fresh start
I guess I should start off with "hi" and "welcome" to my new blog. I figure it's time to keep my life, weight loss, struggles, acheivements all in one place. I'm sure later on it would be nice to see all that I've done, surpassed, etc. So, here we go....
So today was day 1 on the low carb... didn't do too bad and very pleased. I just hope I can continue this and get some weight off... I was doing great before I got pg w/ Izzy, but that's ok, she was well worth it. :)
Today I had:
Breakfast:
20 oz water
1 sau, egg & cheese taquito (no tortilla)
1 bacon, egg & cheese taquito (no tortilla)
Added 2 packets of salsa
Lunch:
Grilled ckn club salad (no tomatoes, crutons)
1 packet of Bacon Ranch
1/2 liter Diet Dr Pepper
Dinner:
Baked ckn
Broccoli w/ cheese sauce that hubby made
1 can Diet Dr P
Snack:
sugar free popsicles
Total water:
20 oz
Workout:
None, I planned to do 3 mile WWL (Walking w/ Leslie) but that didn't happen b/c I was too busy at work and got home and was overtaken w/ things to get done... tomorrow, I will attempt my 3 mile walk. :)
I say that I did pretty well, I need to increase my water intake, but tomorrow is a new day and I'll be sure to keep a jug of water handy. :) So all in all, day went pretty well. I just cooked my bkfast tonight for in the AM & made some boiled eggs if I feel hungry during the day to take with me. I also made some Strawberry Banana jello and I'll have that for dessert tomorrow w/ a little whip cream. Yum! :)
Starting weight: 306 (cringe, I was 250 pre-pregnancy w/ Izzy) *sigh*
Goal weight: 170
So, starting out and we'll see how well I do ... :D'
Some great news... got my certificate in the mail today, I'm officially a GVN (Graduate Vocational Nurse), now just for my state boards (NCLEX) and I'll offically be an LVN. Wahoo, so exciting. It's been a long 18 mo and I'm so estatic and love my family for all the support they've given me during this time, not to mention my friends. :) So any and all prayers would be much appreciated. *hugs*
Ok, well I guess it's time to get off here and get to bed, it's after midnight and I can tell I'll be exhausted tomorrow and tomorrow is yet another long day. :)
G'nite friends.
