my Tum Tum Tummy hurts

SO I have to admit that yesterday evening was not a very good eating day for me..it started off good but after lunch sometime it just went down hill...and it happened so fast...really before I could even think about it..I was putting some crap in my mouth! I am not sure what happened really...maybe it was that I was so busy I just didn't think about it or maybe it was the exciment of that 1 lb weight loss..or it could be that Lisa (friend from work) Convinced me that I just HAD to go and try a doughnut from the new doughnut place in Paris! I was originally gonna just get 1 or 2 but decided to I got 6 so that I could share with others...dad, Aunt June, Bri and Cash! I ate 2 and then a bite of another ~~ and they WEREN'T even that GREAT and Let me just say..I am paying for it today..because my tum tum tummy hurts...it just doesn't feel right at all! So NO MORE doughnuts, or cheez its for me! I can do better than that...I am pretty sure I wasn't hungry or even really craving the crazy doughnuts when I ate them! UGH...why do we do such things!

Another one bites the dust

WEll that's right I weighed today and I am down one more pound! That's not much but I will take it ~ ~ I was mostly just proud to see that I had lost instead of gained!! So now I am one more lb closer to a better me...lol! Hopefully since I am planning on sticking to my
"life change" a little better this weekend ~~ I will be down even more lbs!
Ok..one last thing....Tired of eating grilled or baked chicken? Well...you could jazz up that left over chicken by adding green beans, mushrooms, and a little onion flakes into a skillet with the chicken! It is sooooooo YUMMY! Mom used to make this for me when I was trying to lose weight at home..it was always so good and delicous ~~~ very filling!

Just another manic run day!

Yeah..I said "run day" instead of "Monday!" But only because Manic Mondays have become my run days ~~~ that's my fun day....wooo...wooo....! Lol!
Seriously...did you feel the Earth move under your feet today at 11:00 ~~ if so It might have been from where I was running today. I am proud to say that I ran just a little farther than I did last Monday...but only because I had a terrible eating weekend. Maybe I will actually jazz up the rest of the walking for this week and turn it into running too! I do have my big weigh in on Thursday morning ~~ so I will really need to step it up!
The only time I didn't really eat bad this weekend was for Breakfast Fri, Sat, and Sun...and then Friday night we had Turkey Burgers from my Biggest Losers' book. They were excellent! Here is the recipe:

Mexican Turkey Burger

1 package of extra lean ground turkey

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (which I did not have or use)

1/4 cup diced red onion (I used onion flakes)

1/4 cup of red bell pepper

1/3 cup diced Fresh Mushrooms

1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning or fajita seasoning

1/4 cup low fat Mexican blend cheese (I used some fat free Cheddar)

1 teaspoon of Minced Garlic

Mix all of the above together -- make 6 4 oz patties

Grill burgers for 3 mins on each side or until there is not pink

Serve on :

whole grain buns or Arnold sandwich thins

Top with:

salsa

avocados peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced (did not use this i used tomato)

fat free Greek style yogurt

only 120 calories per burger...

They were good..even Ed and Briana thought so. The next Day Bri and I ate the burgers using regular condiments (mustard, mayo, ketchup, tomato) and they were still yummy! Enjoy!

Thank you Ms. Flo

FACT: Women gain anywhere between 5 and 10 lbs during their menstrual cycle.

So....I wasn't gonna weigh today well..because Flo came to visit..but then I decided what the heck! So...DRUM ROLL PLEASE....I didn't lose any weight but I didn't gain any weight ethier!! Which is great especially since Flo is here..because honestly That means I probably lost a little..weight...well...maybe! Well see!

Grave yard of my weight loss..

In keeping with my weight loss theme..I decided to add a few pictures of my weight loss from years past.. Enjoy! lol! I know what your thinking, "Sarah you are still fat in all of these pictures!" I know that I am but I am a heck of a lot smaller in all of these than I am right now..so...yeah...exactly...but I am on the journey!

THEY ARE LIARS!

So this weekend I was inspired while reading THE BIGGEST LOSER book "Six Weeks to a new you!" In This book all those big fatty fat fat's that weigh 300 and 400 pounds ~~ kept proclaiming..."I always thought I was to fat to run, but I found out that I am not, and that I actually like running!" WEll I am letting you know that "THEY ARE LIARS!"
Today in Paris while on my lunch break I deicided to go for my daily walk ~~ instead of just walking though since there wasn't anyone else on the track I decided to challenge my lovely 300 lb self into a walk/run for 3/4 of a mile...let me just say..."YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!" I guess I did it but it was not fun...and it hurt. SO I am officially stating that I am in FACT ~~ "TO FAT TO RUN!"
SO ANY of you fatty fat fat's like me that decide to run..let me say that it is possible to be to fat to run...and it is also not fun when you weigh so much....My 300 lbs...just kept hitting the pavement so hard...that people might have actually felt a small earth quake in Paris today. It hurts your body (knees and feet, especially if you ever broke a foot (not that I would ever have any experience in this ~~ "I think i'm gonna fall, I'm falling, Oh no I just fell," ~~))
SO inconclusion..I am just stating that I Feel that I am just to fat to run..but maybe I will try it again tommorow...lol!

- 3

Well, I am almost scared to announce it but after weighing in this morning...i have lost 3 lbs....I am a little nervous about being excited but Hopefully this is just the beginning of even more weight loss! I started to post a picture of my 3 lb weight loss but realized the only place you could see it was in my forehead...lol (faith)!
SO ----->This afternoon... I was hungry and I wanted a snack.... instead of eating some sun chips (which I totally convinced my self was ok..if I ate just one serving which is 1 oz....I opted for a much healthy snack ~~ ants on a log~~ (reduce fat peanut butter, celery and raisins.) It was tasty, crunchy and a little bit sweet and a little bit salty! Yum..yum..Good! Dang..if I was a good blogger I would have taken a picture! Next time..i will do better and take a picture of my healthy choices!

ALWAYS

So things are going pretty good..but they could ALWAYS be better! I have been eating good but I could ALWAYS do better! I have been excercising some but I could ALWAYS do better! I have been trying so hard to ALWAYS put God first but I could ALWAYS do better! BUT today when some sadness hit me..guess what?? I did not turn to food as I ..........ALWAYS..........have before! So Kudos for me!
I am going to weigh my self tommorow and as ALWAYS I am hoping that it goes well! lol! So will see ~~~ but we will have to wait and see!

LET"S try this again...again!

Look what I did last time I lost weight. I could fit in a small box. **Sigh**

This isn't the first time I have come to this realization but I KNOW that it must be done!

From this moment...I will try my hardest to make consistent healthy decisions for my life!
