ElleBella Fri May 24, 2013 4:07 pm

Thank you so much both of you.. Your support is what helps me to continue to go forward, Thank you for that!!!!

Yay is was another great day on plan.. my dinner was tasty.. its funny when you don't eat all day how your taste buds are so in tune with your food .. it was ...lol.. man I make rocking gravy.. yum. Its funny eating that with my late night snicker made me wonder if maybe It would be to many calories.. I know it could not be ..I was worried a bit to get on scale.. but I was down 1lb.. wahoooooo!!! It seams on cheat day I stay the same.. and on good day I lose a lb I am so happy with that. You can also see that when you do go back to eating reg meals that you will not gain as long as you keep your portions reg size.. yay

So 201 today.. eeeeeh I can really taste it now.. 2 more lbs and I will leave this nasty 2..... land.. lol Embarassed

I was better yesterday but this morning I was all plugged up again.. uuugh.. lol.. well its coming a week so its not that bad... lol Today is a full day of work and as I am in the groove of no eating till dinner I really want to keep this going.. its seam to be the best plan for me. I was pretty hungry this morning, but I just drank a cold water and walked my daughter to school. I am feeling much better now.. the water really helps!

L) tea
D) meatloaf with tators and veg 5 bite
sn) snickers bar 5 bites

Cheers all!!! Debbie

You are doing soooooo well and I am soooooooo proud of you!!!!! Twisted Evil

You are on a roll and I want you to keep it going!!!!

I wanted to check in before leaving for vacation and I'm sooooooo happy for you!!!! Such great news about your work going so well! Wonderful!

I am definitely going to have to cut the carbs and I'm starting slowly back with it to adapt. I really, really, really need a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix. My blood pressure has been elevated for the first time in my life...this may be just what I've been needing to get myself into gear.

School is officially over, my room is clean and completely packed up and I'm feeling much better and ready for vacation and also ready to ease into making a real change.

I will talk to you soon and you will be in my thoughts this upcoming week. I love you

ElleBella Fri May 24, 2013 8:48 pm

Oh Honey.. Thank you so much... I am sooooooooooooo happy you are feeling better and all is in order.. yay Vacation cheers

I Know you will be with me as soon as you get back Twisted Evil

Thank you so much for checking in love.. You are such a bright light!!! Have a super duper time!!

Hi all.. I am being good have not eaten at all but am very hungry today.. funny how after so long I would be like this.. anyways .. I have had my tea and now am going to push onto dinner.. once I get there things are clean sailing.. I just have to stay away from the cookie jar.. lol.. eeeek Razz

P.S. I think I might just have to have a pickle today.. we will see.. at 5 cals it not a big deal lol!

update... I decided to eat a lunch today.. totally 5 bites perfect and satisfied but then I baked and had to try these new gluten free cookies out.. well lets just say.. I really tried them out Evil or Very Mad

I have now put them in the freezer.. I will not be eating dinner tonight at all.. I had 5 cookies .. ok they are small.. 2 bites at most for a lady and 1 bite for a guy.. so I am well over my 10 bites.. more like 15-20 .. So dinner will be missed.. being on my TOM I should have known not to bake affraid

lol

Cheers all!

ElleBella Sun May 26, 2013 5:19 pm

Hi all.. Today is a good day.. slightly warm but not to warm.. driving day.. My little one and I are off for a Sunday drive.. as I am not eating till dinner I do not have to worry about bringing any food..well some for her.. but that is it.. I am still on my tom and have a really crabby mood happening so the drive will do me some good!! Razz

D) left overs (meat loaf, carrots and gravy) 5 bites
sn) 5 bite what ever

Happy Sunday all!!

ElleBella Mon May 27, 2013 3:41 pm

Hi all.. ahhh its the last Monday of the month.. blood glucose day.. For those of you who do not know I have to check my blood all day long for my sugar rise and fall.. fun stuff.. so at least 3 meals a day.. they want 5 but that never works for me..lol I will just keep all within 600 cals so not to wreck my progress.. I am so bloated right now with my cycle though no weight is really shifting..lol

B) tea and apple (50 cals)
L) 1 cup of cream of potato soup (259 cals)
D) Salisbury steak with steamed carrots (250 cals)

This all comes to 559 cals.. so If I like I can throw in a 50 cal snack somewhere Smile

Off to work I go.. Cheers all!!

ElleBella Tue May 28, 2013 8:21 pm

Yay.. my blood sugar was fine.. but I was a mess.. eating so much food caused me to binge.. uugh.. I did not WI this morning as I was worried of the damage.. eeek Embarassed

K.. all is good I am back on plan.. maybe I shoudl plan this to be my glucose day to be a cheat day...lol

B) nothing
L) tea
D) burger no bun with the works 5 bites
sn) 5 bites peanut butter cookies

I really do not like cookies they are for my daughters school lunches.. they are made with coconut flour so they are soooooooooooo filing.. that is why I eat them lol.. eat 2 and you are full for a good 4-5 hours..

I have a tip for those late mid day to late night growls.. other than my pickle idea.. I find a small cube of cheese does the trick.. 30 cals.. not a bad deal.

Update- its 7:11pm and I still have 3 bites left for tonight.. I had 2 bites of the coconut cookies with a coke at 2pm. It was perfect as it pushed me to 5 for dinner.. perfect .. Great day.. I might not even have my last 3.. I might just have a small pc of cheese (1 bite) and call it a night.. yay..

Happy Tuesday all.. Keep to your plan.. stay strong Twisted Evil

Today I went out for a super long speedy walk.. a good 3 miles.. my legs and I were very tired.. I also had 5 extra bites as I need to if I am working out like this.. I love it.. I felt good to eat 5 bites at breakfast.. I was not hungry at all till lunch.. then I could not eat my full 5 bites at lunch.. only 4 and I stopped.. WOW I was full feeling.

k.. time to go and make dinner.. Wishing you all a fab day

smhsince91 Sun Jun 02, 2013 5:57 pm

Yes, I agree, I do not like weighing in daily. I have been doing that recently and it gets very frustrating. Anything can cause a change in weight. I think I will also take a break from weighing in. Maybe do weekly like you are. You are doing so great! Very inspiring, I think I will be adding in some excercise also! Keep up all the good work. Take it day by day. Soon you will be shedding pounds and feeling great!

ElleBella Sun Jun 02, 2013 9:32 pm

All thank you so much Beautiful.. I am shedding.. I put on a pair a shorts that last week fit me.. now they are lose.. Yay.. cheers

Sunday is to be my day off working out.. but today I just could not sit still.. I cleaned my oven.. what a task.. I had to have a shower when I was done..lol.. I felt like I ran 5 miles.. lol I also did some dips and pushup.. I do them on the stairs.. no knees needed.. lol I am completely on plan today.. Come the next few weeks when my hubby arrives things might change.. he may not like the 5 bite idea.. eeek.. I have not told him as he does not need to worry about me.

B) nothing as I was not going to workout I did not need 5 bites..
sn) around 10 tea
L) baked pasta 5 bites.. so good
D) pulled pork over rice 5 bites

As I did end getting in a workout I might have a few bites tonight If I need?

K.. I am off to get all my sunday night stuff done.. making school, lunch.. baking cookies (well not always them) and ironing.. so much fun.. lol.

Cheers all.. xoxoxo

ElleBella Mon Jun 03, 2013 4:43 pm

ElleBella Tue Jun 04, 2013 3:33 pm

Hi all,

I am happy to say I did not gain a lb.. wow.. 202 Yay.. I am going to push hard to Friday to get under 200 bounce

My daughter is home today with a very high fever.. uuugh.. it never ends.. I am so done with this flu season.. I sware she managed to catch every single one.. yersterday half her class was missing .. eeeek

I am hoping with all I am doing I will skip this one .. cause ,... eeek.. no way can I afford this sickness to take me down.. My work out today is all body.. no cardio .. so push ups, dips, squats, lunges, water jugs. bounce

B) tea
L) tea
D) chicken and rice 5 bites
sn) apple, pbutter 5 bites
multi vitamin

I was in bed by 10:30 last night but I wish to get there by 9:30 so I can read a bit before I go to sleep.. I think me staying up late is also causing the binging Rolling Eyes

K..Get to it all.. be the 5 bite hero!!! lol

Snow White Tue Jun 04, 2013 8:15 pm

Hey sweet lady! I missed you while I was gone...hop over to my journal to find out what's going on with me now. albino

I think that day you were up 2 pounds was b/c of the pickles...they make you retain water. You can always flush out the water weight, so if the pickle is working for you I say go for it...then the day before you weigh just water load. Are you drinking enough water anyway normally? This is something that I try to do but I usually only get in about 2/3 of the water I need.

I'm proud of you for all the exercise you are able to do...that is awesome! rabbit

Good luck getting under 200 by Friday!!! I know you can do it!!! sunny

ElleBella Wed Jun 05, 2013 4:48 pm

Yay .. I love that you are back.. Yay

Thank you for the tip on the pickles.. I did not have any at all yesterday.. stayed away from them.. I know I am losing, even if the scale is not moving.. I put on a top today that is snug and its like a bag on me.. affraid

was a great feeling.. I am losing up top first as I guess that is where I gained last.. I was up early to my still freakishly high fever girl this morning and forgot to WI.. will do first thing tomorrow am.

workout today.. I am up to 20 inverted pushups in a row.. whaooo.. started at 7 and pushing towards 100.. I am doing all the 100 challenges.. faster metabolism.. lower on cardio as it makes me sooooooooooooo hungry lol!

If any of you want to go and see what I am doing here is the link ;

http://www.hundredpushups.com/challenge.html#sthash.Y0ztCZ9q.dpbs Its pretty easy as you build strength while you are doing it cherry

Along with that I am doing the 100 lunges.. squats.. dips ... so on.. I realized I do not mind if I am 130, 140, or 150 lbs.. I more care that I am flexible and I feel strong.. as I get older I hate losing strength.. I got my bike out the other day.. picking up a basket for the front and back and the car is staying in the garage.. except when we go 4x4 and camping.. but really healthy heart is better than paying the gas man taxes.. lol

B) tea
L) tea
D) chicken finger (home made) with dipping sauce and cucumber salad 5 bites
sn) 3 bites apple w pb and 2 bites almonts

K.. that is the plan.. Good luck all to stay on your plan.. Cheers! cheers

Snow White Wed Jun 05, 2013 8:45 pm

Sounds like a great plan for today and good luck with it!!!!

We're trying to get under 200 by Friday, right??? Suspect

Sounds like you are doing great with your exercise program. I walked to the store yesterday, so it seems like we're both trying to incorporate exercise in natural ways. It took me 10 minutes to walk to the store and if I only have a few things to get, there no reason why I shouldn't walk! cyclops

I found some dvds on amazon, but none of them mentioned lymphatic/adrenal by name...they had one that was detox/destress by the lady you mentioned...any thoughts about that???

Have a super day, lovely lady!!! I love you

Let's get this done today!!! Twisted Evil

ElleBella Thu Jun 06, 2013 3:31 am
