Well I'm posting my results early today because today is my planned cheat day and I'm not planning on doing a daily menu for my junk food. Why a cheat day on a Monday? Because it's the farthest day until my next weigh in and I plan on still having a loss this week. I wasn't intending on cheating today but I've been stalled since last Wednesday - I know boo-hoo not really a true stall for most but for me it is. So I'm doing this today and we'll see what happens. If it's a disaster it'll never happen again. So...really, this is an experiment of sorts to see how my body reacts after 3 weeks of having not even a single bite of off diet food. And let me tell ya, I started this cheat day off with a bang - A client delivered mini bundt cakes called Bundtini's that were Heavenly. I had a red velvet, my absolute favorite. Pure yum.
Dang it, I forgot to take a pic of my TV screen this morning. I keep meaning to take a snaphot of my Wii screen but forgot again. Big surprise.
Now...Drum roll please...I lost 3lbs! Total of 15lbs since I started on the 14th of November.
Hope everyone had a Wonderful Weekend. Weather's been GORGEOUS here in the Bay Area.

Day 11,12,13,14,15! Weigh In...
It seems like forever since I've blogged. It's kind of like when you've been on vacation from work and your first day back you have to remember how to function again. Not that blogging is work, but it kinda is. I don't always have something interesting to share and I feel like if I write something it should be somewhat interesting. The problem is the bulk of my day is quite mundane, but I imagine for most people that's the case.
Well I hope everyone enjoyed the Holiday and enjoyed a much needed break. Believe it or not I was totally good this past 5 days. I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to turn my nose up at all the usual faves. I'm glad I did because it probably would have been another five days until I blogged had I cheated - I would have felt so defeated. Many a board game were played and I also made some chain maille jewelry; That seems to be the key for me. Keeping busy.
I'm not going to do my usual Day of menu today - was super busy all day playing "Oh yeah that's how you do that..." (Been off of work since Last Wednesday)
Did do my weigh in today...drum roll please.....................Down another 5lbs! Finally NO 2 as the first number in my weight. Yay! 12lbs Total! Hopefully this fat train keeps burning coal because I need to hit my mark by March.
Did anyone hit up any of the Cyber Monday or Small Business Saturday deals? I kind of combined both with my purchase today. LocarbU had a 10% off code today so I bought some more Carb Kruncher bread and a few other products I've been wanting to try. Code is "cybermonday" still a few hours left to use it - If your in California, if not shipping for you might kill this deal.
Oh and Eversave has an Overstock deal for the next 2 days. $20 credit plus free shipping for $10 bucks! You can view the deal Here!

Day 1
Bumpy start to day 1; Woke up with ringing in my ear, wtf? Been slightly dizzy ever since.
Here's what my menu for the day looked like:
Breakfast: 1 Chorizo Chicken Sausage and two eggs.
Lunch: Not really hungry had an Atkins Chocolate Shake.
Dinner: Grilled cheese w/peppered turkey
I snacked on salami and not much else. I drank water and Diet Pepsi all day.
I should probably tell you all what diet I am doing. I'm not necessarily following any specific diet per se, but I am watching my carbs. I'm trying not to have more than 40 carbs per day. The reason I do low carb is because I don't have time/desire to count calories. With low carb I know I can have a big steak or fish and not worry too much about how many calories I consumed. Now, I know my limits and that doesn't mean I can slam a pound of bacon with no reprocussions either.
I shop a lot online from various different low carb/health food stores. One product I can NOT live without is Carb Krunchers bread. I buy their bagels/bread/buns and use it to make sandwiches, pizza, bread crumbs basically anything you would use regular bread for. The bread has tons of fiber so I feed it to my son too and he can't tell the difference - especially once butter has been slathered all over it and it's grilled.
I do recommend eating it toasted, right out of the bag your going to be like wtf? Once it's warmed it's an awesome replacement.

30 or BUST
Knock knock. Who's there? It's 30 and I'm right around the corner.
I've promised myself that I will be healthier aka "Thinner" by the time I turn 30 (in March). For the past decade I've been hovering around 200lbs - currently at about 210, ugh. My childhood and teen years I was a rail. People would always comment on how skinny I was; give my mother nasty looks for "not feeding me". It all started when I met my "Husband" (We're not married but we've been together 11 years and have a son together so for blogging sake I'll refer to him as my Husband) We were pretty young, I was 19 he was 25 and we were broke living out of a garage in a house full of skaters. I think we ate pasta and butter every day for weeks, occasionally we had sauce and on a good day we had garlic bread to go with it. Though we were broke, we were happy and life was good. Obviously one cannot live on pasta and butter and keep a girlish figure - I was no exception. Years went on a few of them tumultuous, Our son came along and dieting and exercise took time that I just couldn't figure out how to factor in. Plus, come on unhealthy food is so freakin' good. I really just love food. Now I just need to learn to love the right foods.
So there it is. I'm putting it all out there for everybody (or nobody) to see. I'm hoping this blog will keep me accountable when nothing else has. Maybe I'll be brave enough to post a picture, maybe.
