I am officially 207.2!!
It is crazy that I am excited to be that fat still but it is progress (which seems to be my favorite word on the blog). I was 204 before I became pregnant with my son, who is now 10 months old. I was down to 191 after giving birth and I just feel into some really bad habits of eating and being sedentary (like all day doing nothing but breastfeeding and going to the bathroom, then I stopped breastfeeding and) I gained 20 pounds in five-ish months. So I was closer to the 226 that I weighed when I was 9mos pregnant... 0_o.
My plan is to drop at least 50 more lbs but if I gain muscle and am heavier I can deal with that (It took a whole lot for me to get to this type of understand.
Anyway, I finally worked out yesterday, and I will again after I finish writing this, and I lost 3 inches. It makes me want to kick myself for not having suffered through the workouts while I was on my period because I could have had even better results but I will use it as reason to continue to workout everyday until this thing is over. Once I get the actual DVD I plan to do a 14day bootcamp where I will be working out everyday then I can go to every other day.
Even though I am feeling better and losing weight I want to quit so badly. I made garlic spinach with penne alfreado and pesto chicken for dinner. I was so proud because I could not finish a plate but it reminded me of why I love food. It just tastes so much better than green goodness and superfood.
I know eating is not helping me get rid of craving but I just want to start the God made Man made diet already so I can eat more than once a day and it makes me want to cook so that is good because I used to order out as often as I could afford. I am not sure what is best for me. I guess doing the whole ten days but not sure if that is what is actually going to happen. This has been a great experience for me though.
I will stick with weightloss and inch loss no matter what. I feel so much better when I am smaller and like the way my clothes look better so I need to do this for myself and my happiness.

Day 5
I am down another two pounds! Wooo Hooo!
I did not get to work out so I was feeling like I was not going to have any loss but I am 208. something.
I am also down another 1.75 inches.
I did the workout this morning and for my meal I had (am still having) pasta and I plan to put the rest away because I cannot finish a plate. It is good because my stomach has become smaller on the inside and I am so glad for that. This will make keeping my meals smaller because I won't be able to eat a lot. I added more veggies than usual and I am in a much better mood I plan to do the workout again tonight because I want a cookie (I normally have a bag of chips and a sandwich although not at the same time) and I feel heavier than I have because of the pasta and probably because of how late I have decided to eat. I had been eating my one meal during lunch time.
Anyway, I am glad that this is not only helping me to drop pounds but it is also forcing me to control my portions as well as my food choices in general.

Bad day
Had a bad day but good progress. I am down another two pounds. I have also lost another 1.75 inches from a few places over my body a few have stayed the same but I also have not exercised. I plan to workout later today.
I don't know if I can. I want to though I don't want to halt my progress so I need to stay on top of things. I had a friend order me the actual tape so I am excited to get started wih that.

Progress
I wrote this whole thing out and my ITouch cut off so now I am pissed. I am 212. something. I was three pounds more yesterday since I got a visit from aunt Flow. I gained some inches for the 4.5 I lost but as of this morning I am back down 1.75inches. I am pleased sine my "aunt" is still here. I hope to continue with this and lose a few more lbs even though I get one meal a day.
Today that was hard since I have been wanting a bread bowl wih soup and I found myself next to a Panera's Bread. I made it without even going in. Even with a 15 minute wait for my ride to finish shopping I held it together and I am proud of myself for that. I had the motive and opportunity and I abstained. I hope I can carry that will power with me while I do the God made/ Man Made diet I plan to follow this diet with. Once I am at my goal I can do God made one day and Man made the next. I am very hopeful.

Day one of ten
So I totally forgot to weigh and measure myself this morning. I have also decided to eat one meal and I might have gone overboard by eating a footlong sub. It was so delicious though.
When I tried to do a liquid diet I had a hard time not eating 3x's a day soo I have no clue why I thought I could go without any food. I am thinking that it will be fine and after it is over I plan to start the God Made/Man Made diet of 2 or 3 days of eating only god made foods and then I can have one day when I can eat man made food so I am excited about losing all the weight I need to lose and tomorrow (hopefully) I will post my weight and measurements and we can go from there.

Jumping in head first is not for me
So...
I started the liquid diet with my sister and we agreed to lean on each other for support. I felt rushed and overwhelmed by mid day yesterday and we decided that we should restart the liquid diet on Sat. I wanted this to give me time to wean myself off the junk food and cigars that engulfed my life over the last few weeks. I also want to add some (since there are days and days that I don't get any) vegetables/fruit to my diet as well as some working out.
I started doing T Tapp and some Callenetics and I weighed and measured after having two meals today and indulging last night and I am still down one pound and four and a half inches so I am so happy and very excited to make more changes over the week like minimal gluten and starchy foods in general.
I am not sure if I will blog tomorrow or if I will just wait until Saturday (today is Monday) to blog again. I am just excited and I hope I have really turnned the corner because in the past there have been many "gimmicks" and they work because they involve working out and I give up on the even though they give me results I want this to be different. I want to workout both morning and night for about 15 minutes at least and do some walking and or hooping everyday.

10 Day Juice Diet
I am going to try this ten day diet in hopes that it will lead me to better health.
Today is day one and I am in bad shape. It is 6:49am and I already have a headache, most likely from the half a pound of ground beef I had with my nachos and cookie last night. It was a rookie move on my part and I am suffering for it. I also would have smoked some cigar by now and I am using this to help relieve me of that habit as well.
My plan is to blog about my journey everyday. So lets start with the weight, which I am super embarrassed to write out where others can see, 213.6lbs. That was so hard to type but I need to be honest. I have never been so heavy in my life and I feel stupid because even if I lose 10lb in the next 10 days I am still heavier than I was a few months ago. I need this to be a lifestyle change for me and not a band-aid like these "schemes" have been for me in the past. I also eat worse now than I did before I became pregnant and now with a nine month old I have to snap myself back into shape and get healthy for him so I can be a role model in every way possible.
The strange part is I for the most part enjoy fruits and vegetables and I still rarely eat more than lets say three a week. It is shameful. My son has them at every meal. If I know enough to not feed all of this shit to my son than I need to get myself together so I can keep up with him once he starts walking.
Like I said I am embarrassed that I ever let myself get this out of control but this is me trying to regain some control of my life. I think having the C-Section really threw me for a loop and I have nor been the same since, like I gave up because everything was out of my control anyway. (I had decided on a natural home birth in a tub and ended up not only in a hospital but under the knife). I have never talked about this before and that is why I want to blog this experience because for me writing brings up/out all kinds of things I never realized existed. I am hoping with this ten days I can let go of all the trauma that has been holding my hostage in my own ever growing (soon to be ever shrinking) body.

Oxycise
Since I have been unable to keep up with the water consumption necessary for Roca labs I have been looking for other options. I came across Oxycise and in a week I went from
196.8 to 194.6
ribs 38" to 36"
waist 38.5" to 37"
lower waist 41.5" to 41" (I am disappointed about that so maybe I will add some exercise for my lower belly)
hips 43" to 40" (not sure if I am measuring the same spot)
thigh 25" to 24"
arms 13.5 to 13
neck 14.5 to 14
Sooooo 2lbs and 8.5 inches in 7 days... not too bad. I will stick with this and hopefully keep losing inches like this. It is very motivational to be so successful in such a short period of time. I also have not changed my diet at all. I will try to remember to do weekly updates here.

no longer on the product...
I have had too hard a time with the liquid consumption. I have to drink well over a gallon per day since I am breastfeeding and if I don't I get migraines and it is horrible. I am sure this product works and I am planning on returning to using it once I am through breastfeeding my son. I planned to breastfeed for an entire year so I have a little more than six months to go. I hope everyone else is having great success and I look forward to reading about your success to keep me motivated when I begin my weight loss journey.

Day 2
194.4
Waist 36.5
Lower waist 41
Thigh 24.5
When I started a few days ago I gained 3 r 4 lbs so I am guessing now that I am drinking enough water I am just returning to what I was before I started initially which was 190 or 191.

Day 1 (homemade Roca Labs)
Weight 195.8 lbs
Waist 37"
Lower Waist 42"
Thigh 25"
Knee 16"
It is past time to make a change.
I cannot afford the real Roca Labs so I bought the two fibers and I just mix those two and eat a tablespoon with applesauce after breakfast. I am a breastfeeding mother and I struggle to stay hydrated. I'll add pictures.
