Week 7, Day 1 (Weigh in Day)

This week I am back down 4 lbs. to 207.  If everyone remembers last week I had gained 4 lbs. after doing week 5 and this week I lost the 4 lbs. that I had gained.  =)  I am happy about that.  I wished I hadn't gained to begin with, but I had a bad week.  Not trying to dwell on that.  Today we had really bad storms, luckily they waited until I got off the highway on my drive home from work or traffic would have been awful.  All this warm weather caused tornado weather and the sky was super dark.  Its still raining a lot, but I think the worst of the storm has passed.  My hubby already ate because he had a busy day working and just picked up something on his way home so I grabbed a Zaxby's salad on my way too because I just wanted to relax, watch movies, and enjoy listening to the rain with my hubby.  Mondays at work are always the most tiring because after the weekend schedule, I don't wanna pick myself back up to work so early. 


What I ate:

Breakfast:  Uncle Sams with unsweet coconut milk and regular coffee with creamer and pure via.  I have also started taking probiotics in the the morning, the one Rosalie suggested)  I think it helps, but not sure yet.  Its only been a couple days since I started taking.

Lunch:  Low carb/high fiber wrap with smoked ham and swiss with a side baby spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette

Dinner:  Zaxbys salad with zaxbys ranch and a little bit of my hubby's horchata drink left over from his dinner.  I am addicted to this stuff!!!

I included my stats for today, and I really wish I could lower the fat, but it seems that its in everything!!!  I did good with the fiber intake, but ya know the more fiber I eat....the more my belly seems to hurt. : (

Week 6, Day 4

WELL I have great news!!! My hubby fixed the septic tank issue! Praise the lord!! Hallelujah!! Yeehaaw!! Yippittyduda!! What else can I say?  haha!  Can you tell my day is much better and less stressful. = )

He decided to cut the lines himself since he knows a lot about plumbing and he does a lot with pool drains and such.  I am just thankful he knows what he is doing because without him, I was about to have to figure out how to come up with $2400 to pay for new septic lines and a new outer tee.  But he fixed it for $18 !!! Can we say wow!!  All he had to do was the dig more of our front yard up.  Luckily we have a roommate that is one of his best friends that was so helpful!  SO they dug up the yard all the way to the front of the house and cut the pipes to the septic tank.  They then found massive massive roots growing into the lines and a HUGE clog that looked like this gigantic birds nest with roots and paper, etc.  It was quiet disgusting actually.  Haha! He text me a picture at work.  He just wanted to show me what he had found.  He then bought more piping and put it back together and walaa!! Fixed!! Thank the lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I will be jumping up and down the rest of the day filled with relief.  =)

Work was boring as can possibly be, so that made a difference from yesterday's crazy stressful one and tomorrow is Friday woohoo!!  Looking forward to a nice weekend, suppose to be sorta warm here.

Today I ate:

Breakfast:  High Fiber/Low Carb tortilla with two eggs scrambled topped with crema and queso fresco with two pieces of uncured bacon.  Also my regular coffee with creamer and pure via

Lunch:  Big salad with lots of romaine, topped with sunflower seeds, cheddar cheese, chicken deli meat with fat free balsamic vinaigrette.  I also had a few triscuits to keep me fuller and vitamin zero water.

Dinner:  small chicken breast and one wing, cup of broccoli and 1/2 cup of green cabbage steamed

Snack:  Redi whip in a small bowl (about 1/2 cup) and I grated a tiny tiny bit of dark chocolate on top (since I still can't stand to eat a whole piece)  I just don't like the bitter taste.

While I was at work bored out of my mind, I was looking around at blogs and came across some useful links with low carb meal ideas.  We can't use all the recipes on here, or possibly we could adapt them to be BFC friendly, but just thought I would share.  I love finding different recipes.

I got these emails the other day from the email club.  If you aren't already a member of the email club, you should join because every once in a while he sends these menus or videos or recipes out.  He suggested forwarding this to three or more friends in the email so I don't think it is wrong to share.  I know we aren't suppose to share certain things probably, but were all friends here and this is totally free to join the email club.  http://thebellyfatcure.com/
Just click this link above and join the email club to get free stuff every once in a while.  I like these couple of menus because it throws a couple extra ideas out there that are very very simple.


Just thought I would share with all you ladies!! Hope your having a great day, mine is getting better.  At least its better then yesterday's nightmare. =)

Week 6, Day 3

Right now, I am about to scream!! The toliet downstairs which is the main pipe line for all the water to drain is backing up AGAIN!! ugh!!! Me and my hubby had to go to Home Depot and rent this massive electric snake and I do mean MASSIVE!!  I was trying to help at first but was sorta getting frustrated.  Now him and his friend who live with us are working on it.  My lord they have been at it for an hour now snaking with 100 ft of a snake that is suppose to cut through roots and everything but it doesn't seem to be working.  I am so frustrated, because I just wanna take a shower and relax and eat dinner but I can't.  I am trying to wait for them, but don't wanna leave the room because I feel like I need to help in some way.  So far I have not idea what I wanna eat, but I just want something I don't have to cook after this long long night.  I think I might have to use Katie's idea and have some calming tea or wine.  I might have to drink the whole bottle to forget about this night.  Because even today at work was awful in the morning dealing with a particular sales rep for one of the product lines we stock.  He basically told me I shouldn't question him about anything and that I should not be calling him directly anymore.  Only my father (who is the owner) should be calling him.  I was seriously offended.  He just has some male macho ego issue and doesn't wanna deal with me, but oh how all of you ladies can understand I am sure.  We probably have all had this happen sometime in our lives.  Some men are just assholes!!  After I had my father stick up for me (which I even hated to have to do).  The sales rep basically called and apologized but never used the words.  He just said let me explain some things to you so you can understand better next time!! Ugh still he had the nerve.

Anyways wow all I have done lately is complained about everything, and I know you all are probably sick and tired of reading my whining and complaining, but I need to vent and typing it out here makes me feel like I am talking it out with all you ladies.  So if anyone got through reading this entire thing, thank you for listening! =)  When it rains it really does pour!!  Well so in my life so far.  On top of the bad day, I pretty much depleted my checking account paying for this final modification mortgage payment that must be on time to finalize the permanent mod papers I signed and sent back.  I would have had a lot of extra money but all this septic crap has made me poor lately!!! I am not going to fall apart, I am standing with my two feet grounded and staying strong!!!  If anything after I get through all this crap in my life, I hope to be one skinny sexy lady!! Lol!! That is my main goal, and what helps me feel good about myself right now.  I like to look forward to that goal!!

What I ate today:

Breakfast - High fiber/low carb tortilla with two eggs, crema, and queso fresco & 2 slices uncured bacon.  Regular coffee with my usual.

Lunch - Wendy's Spicy Chicken wrap

Dinner - Still thinking what to eat as soon as this issue at our house gets fixed.  Right now I am thinking breakfast for dinner.  Maybe a couple eggs, a wrap or something.  I don't know...right now I just got the clog of our septic lines in my brain.

Thank you again for listening!! I promise, my blogs will get happier again eventually.

Week 6, Day 2

Well this morning I was back down to 209 which is a good thing.  I think it was what I thought.  Just a little of a digestive issue.  Today I did decide to get my butt in gear and not be depressed about the weight gain and weekend sugar madness.  I ate very well today, I think.  Thank you everyone for yesterday's comments.  It meant so much that you were all there to encourage me.  Also I would like to give a big thank you to Rosalie who gave me a phone call after she read my blog.  Rosalie you are so sweet to check on me like that.  I was feeling really bummed last night and she helped me feel better.  As well as you girls that all commented on my post.  Thank you Katie, Helen, Sherri, Rosalie, Minichick, and Amber!!! Your all sweethearts in my book.=)

Today I ate:

Breakfast - 2 corn tortillas with scrambled eggs, cream, and cheese & coffee with the regular extras

Lunch - whole grain thin bun with Dijon mustard, chicken breast, and fat free Swiss with a side salad with fat free balsamic vinaigrette

Dinner - Pollo Sabraso (which is just marinated chicken) it marinate with apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, oregano, and sazon seasoning and 1/2 large zucchini with mrs. dash


I stayed well under my carbs and sugars for the day

Week 6, Day 1 (Also weigh in Day)

Well I am going to make this short, because I am feeling a little depressed by my weigh in day.  The scale said 211 this morning so that would be a 4 lbs. gain but I don't know why because I didn't eat that much sugar this weekend when I feel off the wagon... I think the sugar makes things not so easily digested or something because I have not been regular for a while now.  (TMI sorry...)  I think it was the fact that I started eating those Lindt choc. truffles after Valentines' day and the sugar I had over the weekend.   I took some medicine last night to help.  Also its about to be my time of the month.  I just feel bummed out so it must be that.  I attempted to start the fast track menu that I was emailed last week, and everything went okay for the first part of the day.  But not so great for dinner.  I did buy the probiotics that Rosalie suggest to use from Amazon and I hope that helps with some other things as well.  I might try the super seed or fiber in the coffee if this doesn't help enough. 


Breakfast - Two over easy eggs and two slices bacon (uncured kind) with water & my regular coffee

Lunch - Salad with cheese, bacon bits, chicken, and fat free balsamic vinaigrette and water

Dinner - not sure if I should tell anyone this but here it goes....you are all going to be like what was she thinking.  But I was starving for carbs!!  This fast track thing will take getting use too.  I ate two empanadas I homemade for a snack when I got home and then two slices of pepperoni pizza for dinner.

I did stay under the regular BFC guidelines for carbs and sugars, but I pretty much had them all within one meal which is really bad.  I am going to try to do better tomorrow and work on building up to this fast track menu.  I might have to add some toast for breakfast in the morning.
