Well all I can say is this day sucks big time!! Its not going well for me at all. : ( I have a headache from hell and the ibuprofen isn't working. Me and my hubby had an argument, well the same stupid argument as always. "Money" Well when will it end? I wanna save and he wants to live with each little bit that he gets. I don't know about this and our future. I love him but if we can't agree, what does one do? One would have to give in right? Well it can't be me because I refuse to search around for how to pay certain things when I know he has spent it on something right. Well I could go on and on about this, but this isn't what anyone wants to hear. I don't even wanna talk about it. I vented with one of my best friends, and I am glad she was there for me. I needed someone to talk to earlier tonight. Okay change of subject....
What I ate:
Wednesday:
B- English muffin lite, 2 eggs, and 2 slices of mortadella cooked in the frying pan (mmmm) + coffee
L- didn't eat (couldn't decided what I was hungry for) Do you ever just have those days? So I just had a few wheat thin toasted veggie crackers (like 5)
D- Tilapia and big spinach salad
S- Kettle corn (small bowl)
Thursday (today)
B- McDonalds sausage egg mcmuffin
L- Wendys Spicy go wrap
D- I have no clue if I will eat something. So far its 9:00 pm and I have a headache and upset and have no clue what to eat because all I wanna do is watch Grey's Anatomy and go to sleep. ugh!!! what a night!!!
Sorry for the crazy venting post. I just needed to type out the feelings tonight. Thanks for listening. Hopefully tomorrow and this weekend the posts will be more uplifting.
Goodnite!!

Week 11 (Day 2)
Well another rainy dreary day here in Georgia. :( "Rain, rain go away come again another day." That is my thoughts right now. I hardly wanna get up normally. But the rain and my monthly visitor make it tens times worse. Boo hoo!!! I just feel like turning the lights off in my office and laying my head on the desk and snoozing. Zzzzzzzzz!! I mean the phone is barely ringing. Other then that, all I have is filing. Boring!! Why not nap? hehe!!
I have been making muffins for my hubby for breakfast snacks and I have been wanting some so bad, but nope too much sugars! I have been with holding pretty good. I did have two bites of a banana muffin last night and my hubby finished the rest. He keeps buying breads from the Panaderia (spanish for bakery). Though its not that expensive. I feel like I wanted to make some for him myself. I love to cook so even though I can't eat all this stuff, I still love to cook for him. He is suppose to diet, but he isn't really doing it. Pretty much he doesn't eat anything during the day and then eats a HUGE meal at dinner time and has late night snacks. I can't get him out of that routine. I try and he always says wow you are looking skinny, your doing good. I try to get people jealous into wanted to follow the diet with me. hehe!! Like telling them wow, look how much I lost or look how lose my pants are getting. I don't mean in a mean way, just wanna help them help themselves. You girls know what I mean, I am sure. Like my mom and dad could use it too but my mom just feels tired and full of other thoughts and doesn't wanna try she says. I think she may be depressed about some things. I hate that she feels this way, but nothing I do makes her see things different so I just gotta let that go. I forwarded a couple friends some info on the BFC and they are excited to start it. Also I have a couple other friends doing the plan and losing weight. They are excited too!! I hope I can help a lot of people. I love how much help Rosalie and Amber's blog have been. They have shared lots of info and that is what I would love to do for others do as I progress through my weight loss journey. Anyone I can help to become a healthier person would make me very happy.
What I ate:
B- (Running late) McDonalds Sausage Egg McMuffin (this is my typical running late meal) (2/2)
L- Left over smoked ribs, only 4 small pieces off the rack (I ate on the whole rack for about 4 different total meals) small homemade helping of my grandmas potato salad. (it was almost a cup, probably about 3/4 cup)
D- Garlic butter chicken with about 10 steamed asparagus (yum!!) I figured I would try veggies I always hated as a kid this week so I bought asparagus and brussel sprouts to try again as an adult) Asparagus were actually pretty yummy, next I try brussel sprouts....I gotta figure how to season those so I will like them.
Anyone have any good ways of cooking brussel sprouts????? Share if you do. : )
Well off to do some work here on this dreary day! Hope everyone else has some sun because someone needs too. =)

Week 11 Day 1 (Weigh In Day)
Last Monday 200.4 and this Monday --> 197.6 (yay!!)
Lost 2.8 lbs
Now in Onederland!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Well I was very surprised to see this on the scale Monday morning, but wayyyyy excited too. I started my monthly so I for sure thought I would be bloated or retaining water. As of this morning I am, but I know it will go back down again when the week is over. But Monday morning the scale didn't show this, it showed I was in onderland finally!! Its been over 4 years since I have been under 200. I use to be a skinny person, when I was in my early 20's I was around 130-140 then I developed the thyroid condition (underactive) and met my hubby and we all know what happens then. You get comfortable and gain weight. Well I gained tons and it makes it hard with my slow metabolism to lose, but I am losing slowly and steadily and its exciting!! I have been taking super cleanse to help with the digestion issue because on this healthy eating lifestyle sometimes that can be a difficult area because your eating so healthy. Well let me give one word of advice. Don't take super cleanse while on your monthly!! It makes your belly hurt pretty bad or maybe its just me. Or at least it did mine. I don't eat many carbs during this time of the month because it seems to hurt my belly. I have been really out of it these last couple of days. I have felt week. I hate my monthly visitor! It really just is a pain! ugh!!
Well enough complaining.
Here is what I ate:
B- Nature Own double fiber toast (2 slices) with butter and cheese. Plus coffee and 3 SC
L- Tuna mixed with mayo and 12 celery sticks (4" size strips)
D- Salmon with aioli sauce (mayo mixed with cooking wine, garlic, mrs. dash italian, and lime juice) mmm plus a side of sauteed broccoli with mushrooms, and small spinach salad with newmans own dressing, feta cheese, and bacon bits.
I am just plan tired today, all I can say is I hope I sleep better tonight, because I feel totally drained and weak today. Its just one of those blah days!!

The Weekend of Week 10
Well the weekend was pretty good. It could have been nicer weather, but we had nice weather all week so it was time for some rain. Well the storm last night was super bad with the hail and the power shutting off. Today it was cool outside and very dreary. I spent the WHOLE day cleaning. I definitely should have gotten a super duper workout because I cleaned all the fans, cleaned more of the woodwork in the upstairs, did lots of laundry, vacuumed, etc. Needless to say I am pooped out. Its time to get on my jammies and watch some movies. First I just wanted to write a bit and post what I ate with all you gals. Hope all you girls had a great weekend. I saw Rosalie shopped at Kohl's. Me too!! I took my grandmother and she had one of those 30% coupons too so we got a few cute things. I officially can start to buy large shirts now and not XL anymore ;) I am so excited about that. Can't wait til I can start buying smaller pants. Right now I could wear smaller in the waist, but the hip and thigh area need the extra room right now. But soon so for now I just wear a belt to hold up the baggy pants that are still size 16/18.
What I ate:
Saturday
B- Fiber toast with cheese and butter
L- Applebees Dijon Chicken with portbella mushrooms, side of broccoli, one small red potato, and unsweet tea (BFC approved meal per my www.fatsecret.com counter)
D- Smoked ribs (no sauce) with potato salad (my grandmas homemade recipe (couldn't pass up, but I just had a little)
Sunday
B- 3 eggs scrambled with cheese, 2 slices fiber toast w/butter, 3 slices of bacon
L- Little more potato salad
S- Kettle corn (gotta watch out for sugar on this one, but I was craving a little something sweet) Its my time of the month as of today so the water retaining and sugar cravings start) blah!! I do so good except these couple of days of each month. I am just moving on and not worrying to much about this...trying to stay busy so I don't just eat sweets.
Well hope everyone had a great weekend!! I hope that the scaled went from 200 to 199 tomorrow, but I seriously doubt it because of my monthly visitor. I can always try to keep my fingers crossed though. = )

(Week 10) Day 5 FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooo!!!!
Well can you tell by my blog title, I am happy its Friday??????? Well I am. I look forward to weekend every week. I just enjoy to relax and do whatever I want instead of having to get up and drive an hour to work everyday. (Well with traffic that is how long it takes) On a good day it only takes 40 minutes. But there aren't many good days because people drive so crazy and rush everywhere which is bound to cause traffic jams from accidents. If only everyone could just slow down a little.
Today I ate:
B - Fast Flax Seed Muffin w/butter + coffee + 3 super cleanse (today I upped my dose to the max dose) and I will stay on this dosage until April 20th for my full 30 day cleanse) Lets see if it works like I hope. So far its doing pretty good.
L - High fiber wrap (Xtreme Ole) with baby spinach and tuna mixed with a little mayo (See pic below)... I use these because I never can find Smart & Delicious wraps. I would think they are fairly common but can't find them where I shop. I still need to go to Walmart and see if I can find those wraps Sherri showed on her blog. I linked to her blog post about those called Josephs Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread.
D- Fajita combo with chicken, steak, shrimp mixed with peppers and onions. I am not sure if the peppers and onions caused the sugars to go over, because there are a tiny amounts in peppers, but this is all I ate. I didn't eat the rice, tortillas or extras that came with it except maybe 1/2 cup of some kinda watery refried beans. The fajita part was good but the beans not so much.
A really really scary thing happened while eating dinner. Me, my hubby and his friend picked up some mexican food at a restaurant for dinner because I was handling some crazy tax issue the IRS thinks I did wrong from 2009 (just got the notice today) ugh!! Its only because something didn't print in the right field but I did report it. ANYWAYS...our kitchen table is really small and I let me hubby and his friend sit at it. I pulled the stool away and sat at the regular kitchen counter. All a sudden the glass chandelier from the fan up above the table came falling straight down and shattered into a million pieces. Well guess what I would have been knocked out or possibly seriously hurt if I was sitting at the table. Cause it was right at the spot where I pulled the stool to sit at the other counter, but if I tried to sit there at the table I would have been knocked or cut in the head. Lord have mercy this week and things breaking have been crazy. I think I have a ghost or something in this house trying to kill me. ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope not. I hope its just all a coincidence that these crazy things keep happening. But where ever there is glass, I better be careful because that seems like its the ghosts' object of choice.

Fast Flax seed Muffins
Loads of fiber to keep you very full. Sorta like an English muffin with the nooks and crannies once cut in half.
Ingredients
- 2 servings flax seed meal
- 1/2 serving baking powder
- 1 serving truvia
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 dash salt
Directions (if you add more flax = more fiber)
- Mix all dry ingredient together in large microwave safe coffee mug.
- Melt 1/2 tbsp of butter and mix with egg. Stir well.
- Mix egg/butter mixture into dry ingredients and stir well. Microwave for 2 minutes and the muffin should pop right out. You can either eat it like this with the other 1/2 tbsp of butter spread on or toast for a more cruncher version. Its extremely extremely filling and will not give you any of those hunger pains until lunch time. If you need a good dose of fiber, here is your recipe.

Week 10 ( Day 3 and 4)
Well not to much to type today. I have had a headache all day long up above my left eye. I think it gets that way because I have a stronger prescription for my contacts or glasses in my left eye and maybe I need to get this checked out. Because its always on my left side. But its annoying that even with taking Aleve or Ibprophen that it won't go away. So I am going to make this post short. Cause I need to rest my eyes.
What I ate:
Wed.
B- double fiber toast (2 slices) (Natures Own), cheese slice and butter with coffee + 2 pills super cleanse
L- high fiber wrap with turkey, pepperjack cheese, spinach leaves, and a little mayo
D- leftovers - pork loin, hamburger patty topped with onions and cheese, and side of spinach....I had two meats because I was finishing leftovers and there wasn't much. + 2 more super cleanse pills
S- Veggie straws (1/2 serving)
Thurs.
B- McMuffin sausage & egg with coffee and 2 pills super cleanse
L- Wendy's half size BLT Cobb salad with avocado ranch dressing (only 3 g of sugars and under 1 carb)
D- 3 scrambled eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and black beans (3/4 cup) topped with crema and queso (breakfast for dinner is perfect for when I am lazy, I always opt for this when I don't wanna cook much and its like comfort food for me) : ) I don't usually have carbs for dinner but for some reason I was extra hungry today so I had my carb allowance for dinner.
Good night girls!! Thanks for reading. : ) Hope you all have a great night!

Week 10 (Day 2)
Good afternoon everyone! Its another beautiful day here in GA. The pollen count is crazy high though, luckily it doesn't bother me that much plus we are suppose to get tons of rain next week so hopefully it will wash a good bit away.
Last night while cooking a pork loin on broil in my oven, I had a crazy cooking experience. Apparently its not a good idea to cook you mean in a glass baking dish. I could find my metal plan so I use this glass dish for every other baking need and never had a problem. Well I broiled my meat on each side first and then took it out and set it on the counter. I poured a tiny bit of cooking wine on top of my meat before I was going to cover it and bake in the oven for the remaining time and BAMMMM!! The glass shattered into a gazillion pieces and shot across the room everywhere. I mean you know how tiny pieces of glass can be so fine yet if you step on them and they go into your food its going to hurt like crazy. Well I hope, I really hope I got all the shards of glass up. I better walk around with shoes in the kitchen for a while. I even had to throw away the meat just incase any tiny shards got stuck into the meat. So it was crazy and scared me to death when the explosion happened. But I am alive and here to remind. Use a metal pan when broiling!! Maybe this is something I should have known but like I said lesson learned. = )
Looking forward to American Idol tonight. Hoping they will be singing some great tunes. I was sad to see Karen get voted off because I thought she was so good, but oh well.
What I ate: (Tuesday)
Breakfast: McDonalds Sausage Egg McMuffin with coffee + creamer + truvia
Lunch: Quiznos small cobb salad with unsweet tea (+one truvia) I didn't eat but a few bits of the salad because it had all these huge blue cheese chunks and it made everything taste funky. I hate blue cheese chunks so hardly had any lunch. :(
Dinner: Pork loin (after I bought a second glass free piece at the store), side of sauteed in butter veggies (mushrooms, onions, broccoli) and a 1/4 cup of rice.
Here is a new simple menu link I was emailed today in the email club for the BFC, incase anyone missed it.
