Almost been a week..

It has almost been a week since I started my FAB Challenge.. and my diet.. and I have to keep telling myself not to weigh myself tomorrow, because the majority of the weight supposedly comes off during the second, and final, week of the Induction for the Adkins Diet.. but I couldn't help myself and weighed myself just a few minutes ago..

According to my scale downstairs, I currently weigh 241.4 lbs!!  That means I've lost almost 9 lbs in 6 days!!  WOOHOO!! It's nice to know that this is working, as I feel like I could kill someone for a cupcake right now.. lol

I finally got my EA Sports Active and Just Dance games back from my friend in Seymour, and will prolly do the Just Dance game tonight to burn some calories.. I'm kinda dissapointed that I didn't get to make it to the gym this week at all, because I will be working all weekend until 6pm on Sunday.. and my gym closes at 5pm on Sunday.. :(

But I'm hoping that sometime during the next 3 days I will have the determination to get some kind of exercise.. like using the pool for something other than laying there, or walking/running around the neighborhood.. Monday though, I am so going to the gym!  lol.. I can't wait!  Oh Zumba, how I have missed you!  :)
 

OH!  Have I got to say how much I enjoyed my lunch today.. I ate at Wendy's and was encouraged to try their new salads.. I ate the Bacon Cobb salad (with cheddar cheese instead of bleu cheese) and it was DELICIOUS!!  I couldn't even finish it all in one sitting, it was so big..  Also bought a new bikini top to wear next summer!!  It's super cute and technically fits right now, but my belly is kinda wiggly in the bad way right now.. lol.. but it'll get put to good use this winter too I'm sure (kickin it in my brother's hot tub)..

Day 4...

It's always so sad when I find myself counting the days I've been ON a diet.. but hey, when you only have to eat only a few certain things for a certain amount of time, and then you get to eat a little of the good stuff after that, you would too..  lol.. So I have not done the Adkins Diet in forever, and totally forgot some of the things I've learned over the years of reading and doing this diet.. 

1. Don't eat too much cheese~~ it makes you constipated..

2. Make sure to take your vitamins~~ my skin has gotten lots better 

since i started taking them with this diet..

3.  FYI~~ Ranch dressing has LOTS of carbs in it if you 

layer your salad with it like i used to.. 

4.  Veggies are not always your friend~~ did you know lots of cucumbers 

can make you gassy?!  neither did i until tonight, when my 

grandma said how much pain i'd be in after 

eating a huge cucumber by myself.. lol

So please, if anyone is going to do the Adkins Diet, make sure to remember these kinds of things.. they will help you out a LOT! lol.. 

I haven't gone to the gym yet, which I'm kinda dissapointed in.. but then again, I'd always planned to take the first week and focus on starting this eating part.. HOWEVER, I thought that when I didn't know I was working all weekend (live-in position) and couldn't leave to go to the gym.. So I'm hoping after work to go to the gym for a bit and then go to Seymour, and on Thursday go to the gym when I get back from shopping.. 

Speaking of shopping... I can't wait to shop for a smaller size clothes!!  Just two days ago I was holding up a pair of jeans that were SLIGHTLY baggy.. and my eyes bugged out of my head, I think..  I can't believe my booty is that wide.. ha, and then I realized that my booty isn't that WIDE, it's just a bubble booty, and big jeans for my cute booty is okay with me.. lol

Oops... Is it really Saturday already?

Oops.. so I totally missed Friday's blogging opportunity.. had WAY too much going on to think about writing on here.. but I started off the morning good diet-wise, but I totally forgot to weigh myself this morning..  No worries though.. I had a doctor's appointment on Friday, after I got off work..

According to the doctor, I weighed in at 250.3 lbs.. ugh!  I can deal with that I guess.. I just tell myself that it was at 3:45 pm and I was wearing scrubs and heavy tennis shoes.. lol.. anything to make myself feel better, right?!  I am really proud of myself though because usually I screw up the first day by forgetting to eat the right breakfast..

So I made sure to buy me some groceries to get me through the next week.. and my goal this week is to focus on my eating and learn how to cook salmon (without killing it).. Went out to eat with my sister-in-law Robbi last night.. we ate at Texas Roadhouse.. YUMMMMMMMMY!  :)

I was so hungry by that time that I surprised even myself.. I ordered an 11 oz sirloin, green beans, and a house salad.. I figured I'd get all but some of the steak eaten.. boy, was I wrong.. I ate every last bite, plus some of my sister-in-law's salad.. Ate way too much though because on the way home I got so tired I couldn't really think of doing too much..  but at least it was healthy stuff.. kinda..

So today I had to work again, like yesterday, and it started good.. my client's daughter makes breakfast on Saturday's, so I'm stoked!  Eggs, bacon, and I don't have to make it?!  That makes me a happy girl..  The downside to my day?!  MAKING CARROT CAKE!!!! Now, I don't like carrot cake.. can't stand the idea of a veggie in something still being considered a cake.. hehe.. but it's the whole point of having to ignore the sugar, the icing, the pineapple.. I wanted to eat that pineapple SOOOOO badly.. but I didn't, which I'm proud of..

Trying to think of what to eat for dinner tonight.. I'm thinking smoked turkey sausage and cabbage.. i <3 cabbage!  

Welcome to my FAB Challenge

Alrighty, so I have tried to do this quite a few times, and now I think I actually have everything going in the right direction, I am going to work on my Freakin Awesome Body.. with some inspiration from my sorority sister, Katie..

My sorority sister started a blog a little bit ago called Getting My Freaking Awesome Body, and I was so happy for her.. she's training to run a mini-marathon that's held in Louisville in April of next year.. and we are both pretty "fluffy" girls, so I know that she's going through things (exercise-wise) that I am.. and then again, if her busy butt can do it (she's got LOADS of personal commitments, she's married, and she's doing a Habitat For Humanity project), then my lazy butt can surely do it..

While I am joining her in doing the mini-marathon in April, I am taking it one step further and kick starting my butt on my version of the Adkins diet.. I realize that it's not a good diet to live on, but I am planning to do it healthy.. turkey bacon, egg whites, lots of veggies, etc.. 

And that is to start TOMORROW!  I'm about to enjoy my last bowl of sugary cereal, and say buh-bye to my fat.. ;)

I will post pics tomorrow and my beginning weight.. until then, goodnight! :)
