this is my 2nd day battling an aweful bout of food poisoning and it’s probably the worst I’ve EVER felt….. now I haven’t eaten a thing for about 24 hours and the thought of food alone makes me feel sick to the stomach…

I know I’m loosing muscle, but I’m just not able to hold anything down!!! Yikes!!!

this is my 2nd day battling an aweful bout of food poisoning and it’s probably the worst I’ve EVER felt….. now I haven’t eaten a thing for about 24 hours and the thought of food alone makes me feel sick to the stomach…

I know I’m loosing muscle, but I’m just not able to hold anything down!!! Yikes!!!

I can’t walk, I can’t sit.. and talk about going to the restroom…. it’s HELL!!!! I did a leg workout on Monday night with my hubby, who I don’t like to work out with because he thinks I’m a sissy. So off course, I tried to do it EXTRA!!!

Well, last night I couldn’t even put my babies to bed I simply passed out on the daybed in my daugthers bedroom. My hubby had to cover for me!

What can I use, I swear, my musble pain is like 100% worse then his. Other then Ibuprophen, what can I use???

I’ve been threatening for a while to do this, and finally last night, while making a healthy shrimp dinner for my family, I multi-cooked and made some protein pancakes (no recipe, just from memory of stuff I read on here…) Well, they turned out GREAT!!! Even my 9 year old daughter liked them!

Lesson: You’ll only do new things/better things for your health, once you TRY them… looking at the recipe, reading about OTHER people doing it, won’t get it into your body! Try it, you just might like it!

Now I’m going to search for recipe’s and start playing around with them to see how I can make them even more tasty and good for me at the same time… can anyone say "Blueberries/Vanilla Essence, etc."

Wow, I’m so excited, I’m just sipping on the last of my Protein Shake and I’m having a Tuna Sandwich (home-made) and a Baked Sweet Potatoe for lunch, another protein shake for midday snack (I need to put some variety in this area right here… ) and for dinner tonight I’m making Burgers (Whole Wheat Buns, 90% Lean Beef and a whole lot of Jazzing up with veggies.

I am sick and tired of the little eetttsssyyy bittsy sizes they sell at the Grocery stores and I’m scarred to try the powdered version’s that I’ve heard off. Any thoughts.

On a side-note - my hubby did a Turbo-Kick class with me last night, I’m so proud of my baby. He was one of only 2 guys in a class of around 50 women, and he did AWESOME!

OK, so I go overseas… stay there for almost 2 weeks and I don’t gain an ounce.. then I come back home, fresh from my "victory round" of seeing folks uhhhmming and aggging cause I dun’ lost all this weight, and what do I do!!!!

I get all loose with my eating, I get DISORGANIZED and I freakin’ forget what the word "Pre-planning" means… I mean, here I am re-reading blogs and people’s pages, but I know good and well that I know exactly what to do…

I’m so freakin’ mad at me right now, I could just blow a gasket!!! Anyway… just needed to vent ya’ll.. there’s only so much conversation that I can have with myself, in my own head and not be declared a NUT job.

So, any advise.. I’m at work.. I’ve had b’fast - whole wheat bread and peanut butter - I have no planned snacks here - but I do have my protein shakes which can last me till lunchtime (no food here - didn’t pre-plan for that either…) but I could have a sweet potatoe and go get a can of tuna at the CVS.  I could probably have another protein shake for afternoon snack and then I’ll have to "eat" something - so I think a quiznoss mini-wrap has about 200 calories so that should be OK for an emergency… no, let me rather do a Subway Sub - it will fuel me for longer…

OK, enough… you guys have far more important things to do then to read a bunch of gibberish about me trying to salvage my day!!!

Have a great day anyways… I’m going to do better, starting right now!!!

I’ve just come back from a whirlwind trip to London, South Africa (3 cities in 8 days..) and it’s amazing how my mindset about food has changed. Don’t get me wrong, I ate.. but I wasn’t reckless - not too much! And overall - the total damage that was done was around 3lbs!!! And people at home were totally in awe about my progress so far, so now I’m totally pscyched about the road ahead!!!

So, thank you to all the Bodyspacers who have helped me along to this point and to all the future B’ spacers who will be helping me take my journey to the next level… thank you!

So this morning, I had decided to try out a spinning class, just to vary my cardio a little bit. I usually do HIIT on the Incline Treadmill. The spinning instructor "yakked" way too much, and I feel cheated because I didn’t "sweat" nearly as much as I do on the Treadmill.

Question: Am I being unfair, or did I not exert myself enough… I mean, I thought I was doing the correct tension for the class, but I feel that I could have done more. I’m trying to hit my "fat loss" engines as hard as I can for the next 2 weeks and so this morning was a bit dissapointing.

I’m doing some more cardio in about an hour and then also a killer LEG workout… hope I get my BURN in good that way!

I have not seen that number on my scale in a LONG time, about 4 years to be exact - and previously when I saw that number, it was a flash in the pan! I had severely restricted my food intake, was eating cheap microwave dinners ALL the time and not FEEDING my muscles at all!

Now I’m living a lifestyle of making better choices, I’m making mistakes along the way, but I’m doing my best to learn from them and rise "like a phoenix" from the ashes. This journey is not confined to my body… my mind is being taken on a transformation journey, which is resulting in my life starting to show signs of transformation too… it’s incredibly hard, yet incredibly liberating at the exactsame time!

Thanks BB, thanks to all who’ve left encouraging comments and notes… you guys are helping to build this body and I deeply appreciate it.

becuase I had planned to, then things got in the way.. but at the end of the day, I honored my self-promise above all…

And this morning - finally after 2 months on a plateau - I’m out of the 180’s for good!!! Not that I’m attaching all that much significance to my scale-weight. My pants are sooo much looser. My dresses fit great, and all the people in my life are commenting on how good I look and asking what I’m doing!

Thank you so much Bodyspace Family for sticking by me when it looked like I was just another flaky sporadic exerciser.

I now consider myself a body-builder. Not a professional athlete/competitor.. but a person who has decided what body she would like to live in, and who is now building that body.. day by day, meal by meal, choice by choice!

Today is a GREAT day!
