I feel like I conquered the grocery aisles

I fought the food and ... I WON!! lol

- Lollipop - I truly like some weird stuff!! lol

Ready for my week...

This is how I spent my Saturday morning :)

I spent it getting ready for next week!!

Have to prepared to succeed.So i started with some breakfast..

While enjoying this delicious feast I had to my meal planning done.

So I got out my books and POOF!!Foundsome amazing new recipes to try.

That Tosca knows what shes talking about!!

I have been doingthis Eat Clean eating change for 2 weeks and I have had a 6 lb weight loss!!

Cant beat that! Beyond excited!!

So her it is.. FINISHED.... ready for my week!!

How many of you meal plan?? And how far in advance do plan for??

STAT SATURDAY

I havent posted my stats for awhile, so here goes!!

Weight- 234

Waist-42.5 (down 1 inch)

Hips- 47 (down 1 inch)

Neck- 15(same)

Thigh- 25(down 1.25 inch)

Calf -18(down 1 inch)

Upper Arm-15.5

There you go... now what about you? :)

Its the most BIZARRE thing ....

ok so get this.....

when I was obese and unhealthy all I thought about doing was eating.

Now that I am trying to get straightened out all I think about is eating.

Now granted before it was a no brainer, I ate whatever, whenever!!

Which is how I got to be 280lbs.

But now...

I have to think about things. Plan.. Decide...Choose!!

Plan my meals in advance.

Decide to eat the right foods.

Choose a better lifestyle.

Its just the craziest thing to me that I have to think this much.

Its making more sense to me now, but who woulda thought that someone who just wanted to lose weight would have to get to know food alllllllllllllll over again.

I do have to say that it feels pretty good to know whats going into my body now
and what its going to do for me.

so enough of my blah blah blah.. just had an AHA moment. :)

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm......

I love cheese!

That is all! :)

WTF is wrong with you hubby!!?

NOT HELPING!!!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweetie pie why why why...

Eat sooooooooooooooooo good all day long and then I wake up to popcicle wrappers and empty candy bar wrappers, popcorn bags and sunflower.

You cant even say your is a closet snacker cuz you leave all of your damn wrappers right out there for me to find!!

UGHHHHHHHHH... just do this with me man!!

Someday I am going to buy a bunch of lollipops and stick them to your body while you are sleeping.. see how much you want your sweets then.. (insert evil laugh here)

I certainly cant make decisions for you.....

but for god sakes hubby!! Be descrete would you.

Thank you... LOVE AND KSSES

Your Wife

ME!!! <3
