Faithfully trudging along...

Woke up with a 1lb loss! That makes me very happy since I have been struggling. It bites that mother nature had to bring my period right away because its discouraging but I know waiting it out will pay Tomorrow I will measure! We had a terrible storm last night and I'm grateful everything is ok and we are all safe. I made it to the rec for water aerobics and I'm glad I get more done when I get up and go! I am eating leftover chicken strips and a yummy salad with my p2 "honey mustard dill dressing" Mustard (frenches yellow) very little apple cider vinegar, stevia, dry dill, garlic powder, and onion powder. I didn't eat a fruit cause I drank some thermo java and wasn't hungry. Omnitrition meeting tonight at the Green River Library at 6pm. I sure hope someone shows, I'm getting discouraged with this aspect. Although Omni products are amazing people seem to be reluctant to try them. The ones who do, love them though. The business opportunity is pretty dam amazing though. I've sold scentsy for 4yrs and NEVER made as much in a month! I've made more in 4 months than I have in 4yrs with scentsy. I've brought home $500 to $1,000 a month! Its pretty amazing sharing health products that people get good results from too!! The best part they do what they say they will!! Any how, I'm going to go finish my lunch and I will check back in with you all later!!

Energy rebounding!

My Energy is rebounding but I'm taking a day off from the gym today. I didn't feel up to the task so I was lazy. I hate when people make excuses for not doing things, like I don't feel good, my head aches. Its one thing if its the reason but today I'm not giving excuses I'm plain old being lazy. I'm going to kick it in gear in a bit and get my girls rooms whipped up later. I thought I gained 1lb this morning and was a little pissed off but then I realized I hadn't had a bowel movement. Drank a cup of Thermo Java and what do you know.. Anyways I didn't gain I stayed the same after. It could be a possible loss since I drank Omni 4 and Thermo Java but not sure so I'll stick to a stall and pray for good loss tomorrow. That time of month really screws with my loss and it bites to have it in the beginning but I know if I hold out it will be worth it! I would tell anyone on drops to call their distributor and go through your day to make sure your not doing something wrong. I know I'm not and its my period causing this. Anyhow I also know I ate a lot of salt yesterday so I'm going to try to watch that today. See you after lunch..<3 Thanks for reading! I really appriecate that people are reading my journey. I didn't know if anyone would but I've had more hits than I expected! Omni truly is amazing products. I miss my remind, I have powder (it has sugar) so I think I will get the capsules on my next order! :-)

 

My iced coffee treat!Iced coffee and an apple for breakfast/brunch. tbs milk a lot of ice 1cup coffee vanilla crème stevia English toffee stevia and chocolate stevia mmmm yum!  Yum! Love it! Had chicken strips and salad for dinner. Its super windy! I was a little hungry today but think its the period effecting it. Had a lazy day today. For the most part anyways. I scrubbed my floors in my bathroom not once but 3 times thanks to my kids! Ugh spilled the potty chair twice and somehow a glass of milk. Anyhow, all in all a good day today. Going to enjoy some strawberries here in a few and get on my 3hr nite lite count down. See you tomorrow.

A mental break through!

I toughed it out and this morning I woke up to my monthly visitor! Aunt flow graced us with her presents and I'm relieved cause it was very difficult but now I know why! .6 loss yesterday and no loss today. That is common though with your period. So, I actually feel pretty good now and know I wasn't going crazy my exhaustion and lower loss were not a fluke. So, I tried on a tight pair of jeans to see and they fit good! So I am now excited to continue! I know I can do this. Today is day 5 on p2 and its going pretty good I have a 12.4lbs loss and after loading weight down 2.4lbs considering the circumstances all good. I am going to do a short round I think so I can fit in a 3wk p3 prior to vacation. We will see though, I like that I don't have to stop and can chose how I do it. Taking my girls to the circus at 2today. Enjoying shrimp and salad for lunch. I will touch base later. Just when I'm ready to give up, Omni is there showing me results, I love Omni products. Its not easy but if you follow through you will get the results you want! I will report later. <3

 

Enjoyed a scam artist circus today with my kids, watched everyone eating popcorn and cotton candy and it didn't bother me at all. Especially for the price they wanted. Took an apple with me and ate it on my way home. Went to the store to get dill weed and other stuff. Got home and grabbed celery seed instead. I used basil instead of dill and it wasn't too bad. Made veal meatball and tomato basil soup with p2 veggies. 4oz fire roasted tomatoes, 2oz tomato sauce, 2oz onion, 4oz knappa cabbage chopped, 2oz basil (spinach), 2oz chopped asparagus, 2 garlic cloves grated and tbs of dill weed and 1lb of ground veal made into 16 balls (seasoned with grated garlic clove chopped onion 4 crushed wasa crackers and baked for 10mins) 4 meatballs and 1/4 the weight of broth serves 4.

 



and the emotions continue..

I'm not sure why but I'm overly emotional, I've started crying this morning for no reason at all. Donny told me he lost weight too and I totally over reacted saying he was competing with me. I had to attend a birthday party and I wasn't in a visiting mood. I'm very tired and a headache. I skipped the gym today and then took a nap when I got home from the birthday. I want to cheat and eat something even more. I took some motrin event though I'm not suppose to for two reasons. 1 I have a ulcer and 2 its coated with sugar and a no no on drops. Its possible it could stall me and also aggravate my ulcer but frankly I decided it was worth the risks cause my head hurts that bad. I haven't been on the computer much for this very reason but I logged on just for any of you that might actually be reading. I made a promise and I keep it. I just hope I stay strong and keep up with this diet too. Its really hard esp when I don't feel good and so exhausted. Making food takes time and different food for my girls and for Donny. UGh fortunately I'm doing well, I'm just struggling. tomorrow is a new day!

 

 



P2D4. Emotional Day.

My day was extremely emotional today. I woke up crabby at my husband and my girls decided to not listen to a thing I said today. We made it to the gym together dropped the girls at day care and went to water aerobics. For some reason this older lady started yelling at me because I said I wasn't use to eating fish out here and it seemed to have a muddy taste. I'm not sure why but this lady is not nice to me and everything I say she bites my head off. She actually brought tears to my eyes but I wasn't letting her see. Anyhow I let it roll off my shoulders and went on my day. I ate my apple when we got home while the girls enjoyed McDonalds (a treat for them) and Donny had lunch too. Double checked Donny was set for lunch for work and then made mine. Chicken strips left from the batch I made yesterday with spinach cucumber and tomato salad. I ran to Walmart to get a gift for our nephew (my brothers Mikes, girlfriends boy) and my kids were awful, it was a chaotic filled trip that had me in tears after. Its kind of a long story and as everyone know Walmart is flat out irritating place at times, well it was triple the stress it typically is. I left there exhausted. I came home to crying kids and made dinner, dinner pretty much sucked I over cooked it over seasoned it and my cabbage was gross. I choked it down and then made a baked apple with sauce. basically I took an apple pealed it, cut it up and then took a wasa cracker made into crumbs then added water till gooey and sweetenwd it with stevia. I put vanilla crème stevia drops and cinnamon on my apples and poured the goo on top and baked it till done like apple pie filling type of a thing. It was yummy and now I'm drinking water and so tired of hearing Mommy and crying, I seriously want to cry. Gracie is in her room crying and having a 3yrold fit for about a hour now. I have my count down going till nite lite and can't wait till tomorrow is a new day. I'm voiding out the world right  now so I can get my day down in my blog. My mouth is really hurting today and my back seemed to bother me more today than usual I wonder if the weather is going to change again.  Well here's a pic of my sauced apple stuff and I really need to get going cause Gracie is going to drive me to the funny farm. Tomorrow is a new day!

P2D3~ Body is adjusting to the diet..

I woke up this morning feeling tired and my mouth was sore. I had some troubles weighing today, typically I visit the bathroom for my morning deposit to the porcelain god, then weight myself. However my body isn't use to this way of eating yet. I didn't have time to wait for the my business to happen shall I say. I had a 1lbs loss when I stepped on the scale the first time. I then took my meds and drank a cup of Thermo Java and what do you know I had to visit the potty as my girls would say. So I weighed myself again after my deed and I had a 2lbs loss. I'm not sure if I lost more than that since I drank my Omni 4 and meds and cup of java so I will chalk it up for a 2lbs loss and leave room for a good day tomorrow I guess. Either way I'm a happy camper so far. For a total of 12.2lbs loss so I sit at 3.2lbs loss after my loading weight! My body is adjusting to the routine and diet and my headaches are gone from detox. (they were mild on day one and pretty bad on day 2) I'm starting to feel my energy level coming up but wore out easy. I over did it a bit. Time for a nap soon! (maybe)
I ate my apple on my way to the gym and enjoyed an water aerobics class (skipped the steam room today because I worry about stalling) and then made lunch. I'm quite full right now. I made chicken wraps with lettuce. I "brown" (well steam cause water instead of oil) Tyson ground chicken and add Brags amino acids (soy sauce substitute with 900 and some less mg of sodium) and daikon radish 4oz & 4oz of knappa cabbage. Grated one garlic clove, a little dry ginger and dried onion. Makes 4 servings and eat on 2oz of lettuce leaves (prefer butter lettuce). I drizzle seracha sauce (sweetened with stevia) on top to give it a sweet kick! and break up a wasa cracker and crumble on top for a crunch. This is my favorite P2 meal. Donny doesn't care for it because I think I make it too much.  Elizabeth loves this minus the hot sauce. I get sick of boring chicken salad or shrimp salads. Tonight I haven't decided what I'm going to make I'll see what mood I'm in. I'll check back in later..

Ok, so I had a very good dinner and would love to eat it again. (Like right now) but I'm having another glass of water. Got some bad news about a family member today and I've always been a stress eater. I would love to resort to enjoying Greys anatomy (new episode tonight and I'm excited to watch) with a night snack but again I will refrain. I am looking forward to getting my girls to sleep they are full of mischief today. I was sitting in a recliner doing some work online when Gracie came up to me with a tube of lotion and in my not paying attention mom zone told her yes with out thinking. She asked me if she could rub lotion on my feet. With out a care in the world I let her and Liz joined in and here I was enjoying a wonderful foot rub with a ton of lotions. The it dawned on me OH shit its not the right kind of lotion..infact its no P2 even close..I ran up stairs and washed it off but can feel that some of it definitely soaked in. I'm worried but hoping I really don't stall because of it. :-( with that said at the same time if I do I know why and will correct it and work past it. :-/ I'm not going to let it discourage me though cause it doesn't mean it will stall me. I made the chicken strips from the P2 files on Omni Rocks for dinner tonight (very very good) with a side salad Here's my pictures.

Above is 4oz of salad. It a lot more than you think it is!

 

P2 day 2

Yahoooo! Whoosh.. 10.2lbs gone today! I'm down 1.8lbs since I had a 8lbs gain loading! I know it will not look like that number tomorrow but know all my damage I did while loading is gone plus some on the very first day makes me very very happy. Last time it took me 3 days to be on the plus side. Hoping that my break and activity increase will make a bigger impact this round! I have a dentist appointment today for a re do on a root canal that got infected. To most people it does not sound fun but the constant whining from Gracie (my youngest 3yrs old) is totally driving me up a tree! Not to mention she is a HUGE Momma's girl. I cannot wait to get the heck out of here so I don't have to hear any more "Mom" I also have a bad sinus head ache today. The trees are starting to bud and whatever it is in the air is killing me. Zertc D to the rescue to breathe at the dentist but my head is still pounding and Gracie is making it worse. I am very much looking forward to some laughing gas today. Only a Mom can appreciate going to the dentist for a root canal redo! I had my apple and lots of water. I have an apt at 11 so I am going to eat a early lunch right now fast so I don't get super hungry or light headed. Will touch back again today!

Well, hello again! Made it through the root canal and just finished dinner. I was rather hungry from 3-4 so drank some Thermo Java and took two extra enhancers. It seemed to help. I needed to take some pain medication after my root canal. Trying to avoid it but was rather tender and of course I planned steak for tonight! 4oz of lean sirloin tied with cooking string tight and seasoned liberally and grilled with a small salad. It was rather good! I watched my husband eat a BIG steak and salad with ranch and my girls eat cheesy tatters. I was really wanting to take a bite off their plate but I refrained and stayed strong. I just finished my bowl of sliced strawberries (9) and put some vanilla crème stevia on top of them. They were mighty tasty! Its 7pm and I am on the 3hr count down for nite lite! Family trip in the am to the gym! Going to enjoy a water aerobics class while Donny runs his ass off on a treadmill and the girls get some social interaction in the day care! I really enjoy doing this for myself and having sometime to myself. Tomorrow I plan on pushing myself a little more. Here's a picture of Dinner. ITs dried onions on top for a little crunch. the flash really made them stand out.

After reading through my blog I forgot to mention a very important thing I think should be said. Before starting any diet routine you should always check with you Dr. if you have any health concerns or issues. If this diet isn't for you Omni does have other options that are less strict and don't involve restricting your calorie intake.
