Yes, I am back on track with my weight loss

Well, I have ventured out of my subway comfort zone. I needed to find meals that would help me lose weight fast(as in.... making it come out as fast as it goes in), which you see I asked for some help here. After some comments from a sinner and a saint (ok, she is not a saint but it went well with sinner), I decided to no longer listen to others. lol Today I ate at Main Squeeze. You can mainly describe it as a Tree Hugging gathering place, that people like my coworker Paul like to hang out. So I ordered off their menu The Good Fortune Wrap which consist of tofu, brown rice, carrot, spinach, cabbage, scallions, sesame seeds, sesame ginger dressing grilled in a tortilla (yes I copied it) and then I drank a Curious George Smoothie which was made with rice milk, peanut butter, banana, ice. Tonight I am down three pounds, which I left at Wal-Mart :)



If I had more readers, I think Lane Boys Mom and Can You Hear Me Now, should have to pay me for all this plugging I am giving them ;)

I'm 3 sizes larger today

Thanks to two of my commenter's for suggesting Fiber 1 bars for me. I bought a box and ate ONE........okay, one and a half. They were very good I'll admit, but did not have the desired effect. Instead barking spiders followed me everywhere I went during the 12 hour shift I had to work today. Thanks girls ;)

Never make a bet you are going to lose


My Friend Sherrill (Canadian Crackhead) and I made a bet a few weeks ago over who would lose the most weight by July 15. We wanted to lose some more weight but we needed a motivation. Two ladies I did work with (now the witches went and got new jobs, LOSERS), suggested that the loser could make a You Tube video dedicated to the other, having to sing a song of the winners choice. Well that sounded good to me, before I gained 5 lbs in the two weeks we started this and she has lost 5 lbs. Well Sherrill (pictured above in the toilet of a hotel in KC, long story) is going to make me sing a Rod Spewart song. Oh I detest that man and also believe that old 80's rummor. Anywho, if anyone knows some good laxitives I can use before July 15 let me know.

The End of our Big Loser Competition

And my dorky loser of a husband won! He lost 29 point something pounds, woo pee doo! He thinks he looks so nice, walking around 3 sizes smaller, lol. He got 200 dollars that he best save for our vacation!! lol I lost 27 point something and was second place with a 100 dollar prize. Our last weigh in was last friday and I have gained 5 pounds since. I know, you are all saying "You must be so proud" But all my eating this week, kept me from going postal on a Doctor whom had the nerve to tell me a surgery had been canceled after I had gotten up at 3am to drive this person to get it (I had worked til 10:30 the night before). Yep it had been canceled and they forgot to call us. Needless to say, I gave them "Crazy Eyes" and they did the surgery that day. Course they did it at 4pm not 7am!! Grrrrr, but they still did it. I'm scary.

Now I need to get back on course. Stay tuned in a few days about my Subway experience.

How my Subway diet is going.


AS of today, I have lost 20 pounds doing my modified version of the Subway diet since March 28 (think that was the week). What does modified mean? that means I still eat one of the cookies everyday and put bacon on my sandwiches! lol When I stop losing weight, then I will start reducing some of my calories. Right now, I eat a footlong every day, I make it two meals. I still have snacks of yogurt and veggies or a cookie!! lol For breakfast, I have either oatmeal or sugar free instant breakfast drink. I have been eating alot of them yogurt parfaits from McD's, I know they are unhealthy but they are so good plus you do get some fruit in it, cause I don't like fruit much. I also have been having a naughty frozen drink a week, need to cut that out! Anywho, just had to brag cause I am so happy withmyself for sticking to something. Oh forgot to mention that on Fridays after weigh in's that is splurge time, my dh and I will eat whatever we want. Today though I wanted TGIF's potato halves, but no we got there too early and it was closed. So I had to settle for some nasty breakfast place! I hate breakfast food!! lol

My Subway Mission to not let the girls ruin it!







My dh and I both signed up for The Biggest Loser at work. We are on separate teams which isn't good cause he is doing pretty darn well!! (I could so use him on my team)lol . There are four people on each team. This will be starting the third week and I have lost 8 1/2 pounds so far. I have to be realistic, I like food and I love eating. So I know that I can't diet, cause then I will gain it all back eventually. So I have to make a lifestyle change. I eat out ALOT, everyday, several times a day. We live in a very small place that has only two bedrooms and no stove, I do have a toaster oven and a microwave. We live in the basement of a home, my individuals I take care of live above us. But because of our small home, I don't like to cook because I make huge messes and like to have alot of room to cook. Anywho, I decided that I would start just eating out mainly at Subway everyday, I'm doing the modified Jarad thing, lol. So that is how I am starting to lose weight, plus we joined a recreation place that has a track, gym, basketball court and a nice swimming area. Oh and the best is that is has childcare for Aysha. So today after Church we head to Subway. We go in and it is a HUGE line going all the way to the door. Subs are 5 dollars for a footlong, that is why. I'm in line and I send Mercede to get her drink out of the cooler they have there. But then Aysha joins her and they are fighting. Mercede has three drinks for each one of the girls and Aysha is also getting drinks. The cooler is at the front of the store and I don't want to lose my place. I'm trying to solve the problem but talking loudly to the girls, but at this time Aysha is banging the cooler door against Mercede and Mercede is getting very angry so I know I have to get to them. I told Cheyenne to come over and stand in line for me and to stay in line! I go over to the cooler where I battled with the girls to put some stuff down and then I turn around and there is Cheyenne standing behind me! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! And 6 more people have walked in and got into line where we should be. So I put everything back and we walked out. I told the girls they had to listen and now we had to leave cause they didn't. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, I really wanted my sub. I get alot of veggies that way!! lol Mercede is being hateful in the car, she said the "S" word and then got an ear ful from me. But I really want my sub so I drove to another Subway!! lol And we had along talk about how they have to listen and behave or none! Mercede had alot of attitude still, but I could see her allergies were bothering her. But I got my Sub, ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, nope, that isn't bacon on it, I swear, it is a rotten pepper, yeah, that is it! (okay, I will cut the bacon out of my subs later, lol). Then we came home and walked for a mile. Mercede usually gets tired and complains but she did really well! A word of advice, don't buy the bottled water at Subway, it is like 1.79 for a bottle. I had no idea and got us four bottles yesterday.
