Day 5
My last FP day this week. These two days have been much easier than I had anticipated them being.
I had some greek yogurt with strawberries for breakfast. For lunch I had the egg white scramble. Then a peanut butter pudding afterwards. I did my workout. I was starving after my workout and it was still a ways to go till dinner. So I made a sunshine smoothie, and put a little chicken, lettuce, mustard, and very small sprinkle of mozz cheese into half a Joseph's pita. Mmmmm, very yummy, satisfying, and filling! For my dinner, I had another egg white scramble (Yes, I'm totally ok eating the same thing twice in the same day!!) And before bed I had another pb pudding!
I should add, I was very sleepy today. Aside from my workout, and taking care of the kids, and my normal houselhold things, I didn't do much today.
Day 6
My first E day after 5 days without!! For breakfast I made the TH pancakes with blueberries in them...MYOHMY...they have NEVER tasted so good before. It was like a party in my mouth! I was so happy!
For lunch, I'm going to have half a Joseph's lavish bread with some lunch meat, skim mozz cheese, mustard, and lettuce with 1/2 a banana on the side. =)
For snack, I will make a smoothie.
Dinner will be Lighter side of Chili. With some Joseph's crackers.
And of course, I plan to workout.
Hope you all have a blessed Saturday!!

Fantastic Friday!!
It's definitely a FANTASTIC Friday this week...I lost 4 more lbs!!!!!!!! WOW!! Can't believe I've really lost 34lbs!! Holy Cow!!
I've been putting off shopping for new (smaller) clothes, but my closet is really getting empty these days. I won't be able to put it off much longer. Not a single pair of my capris fit me. I only have a few shirts left that don't hang like a sack on me. And my jeans are getting loser by the day, I think. Plus, by the end of the day they're stretched out and really lose, especially in the leg area. I can't wait to go clothes shopping!! I might actually enjoy doing it this time!

Fuel Cycle Days 3 & 4
Day 3
Well, day 3 of deep S was a bit of a fail for me. Partly due to my lack of being prepared and partly because my life is so busy some days! And this just happened to be one of those crazy busy days.
I woke up and had a Fat Strippen Frappa with an added egg yolk, 1T coconut oil, & 1/2t mint extract (if you haven't tried that smoothie with mint yet...you DON'T know what you are missing!!). It was tasty and very filling.
I wasn't even hungry come lunch time. So I did my workout. After my workout, I needed to clean up and get ready to go. We had an appt., and I desperately needed to grocery shop. And an FYI for those of you that don't know me personally, I live way out in the middle of no where!! I have to drive at least an hour to an hour and a half (just depending which town I go to) to get to our doctors, grocery shop, etc.
By the time I got myself and the three babies ready it was time to go. And it's quite the ordeal to get them all loaded in the truck sometimes!! =) I was racing to leave on time and make sure we made my son's appt. So I never got a lunch. I meant to at least bring my skinny chocolate to munch on for the drive, but in my rush it was forgotten. We did stop for fuel and I grabbed a bag of beef jerky to eat. Not the best for a deep S day, but about all I could get at a convience store and I didn't want to grab nuts. I also got a Vitamin Water Zero.
After our appt. we went and got some groceries. I was STARVING by that point. All I wanted was to get a big FAT bagel with lots of cream cheese on it!! Mmmmm....
We left the store (with NO bagels) and got some dinner. We needed quick, so we went to our go to fast food joint...Chick Fil A. I ate the nuggets.
So my last deep S day was a pretty glorious FAIL!!
Day 4
Today was the first FP day. I was a bit concerned about how it might go today. But, it went well. I've stayed on track and haven't been too hungry.
My breakfast was a Sunshine smoothie. I saw someone post that on the forum yesterday and thought it sounded good, so I gave it a try. I wasn't disappionted at all.
I ate a couple of chocolate mint meringues for a snack. And for lunch I had a nice big bowl of Fotato Soup! That soup makes me happy! I really like it.
I had a couple more meringues this afternoon.
For dinner I made the Succulent Citrus Fish with tilapia, and creamless broccoli. Before, I go any further I have to tell you I don't like sea food! Never have! But, I keep trying to eat/like it since starting this plan. I can usually only manage a few bites, before the fishy taste/smell gets to me. Tonight was no different. I just couldn't eat it. Blech!! My hubby and the kids really liked it though. So I just ate a bunch of yummy ceamy broccoli. I've also had a few more meringues. I'm getting a bit hungry again as I sit here and type this, so I'm thinking I might have some strawberry greek yogurt when I'm done.
Thankfully, I didn't fail again today!!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow! Fantastic Friday! I will weigh in in the morning. I stopped weighing everyday a couple weeks ago and decided to only do it on Fridays. So I'm curious to see what the scale will say tomorrow. =)
Also, thought I'd make note that I re-measured last Friday, and I've lost 19.25 inches TOTAL so far!!! That's a LOT of inches to lose!! I'm so excited!

Fuel Cycle Day 1 & 2
DAY 1
Yesterday was day 1 of my fuel cycle. It went ok. I woke up and had my breakfast of scrambled eggs (cooked in coconut oil) and turkey bacon. I was full for a long time after that, so I didn't even make lunch until 2.
For lunch, I had planned on making the Tuscany in a Bowl, but I never got a chance to finish my grocery shopping this past weekend, and didn't have everything for it. So I made the Chicken Broth Anything soup FP style. That was pretty tasty. However, I was in a hurry and trying to get ready, and get all the babies ready to leave for basketball games that I didn't have time to eat all of it. And that isn't something you can bring and eat in the car. So I grabbed a little skinny chocolate for the drive.
Dinner was on the run. We had to games tonight. So we had to leave the house at 3pm and I didn't get home until 9pm. We stopped at Whataburger for dinner. I ordered a doublemeat burger. I just pulled it all out of the bun and ate it that way. So, it wasn't great, but wasn't the worst.
When I got home I was starving! I munched on some more skinny chocolate. But, it wasn't cutting it. I was really hungry. I just went to bed. It was 11pm at that point and I just didn't want to eat anything that late.
I didn't have time for a workout.
DAY 2
I'm determined today will be better than yesterday. I started my day with Serene's Steamed Omega Sensation (minus the optional stuff. Blech!! Not my cuppa tea! lol!!) Not bad though; as I'm a girl who usually can only do scrambled eggs. I made sure the yolks cooked through. I can't do runny eggs!
For lunch my plan is a big cheg salad. I have some chicken and hard boiled eggs to go in it, and turkey bacon, along with a lot of veggies. I made some italian dressing last night. I bought an Italian dressing mix and mixed it up with the directions on the back. I used EV olive oil for the oil. That should be yummy for my S days.
For dinner, I put a nice pot roast in the crock pot. I'll serve some broccoli with it and maybe a side salad for me, and brown rice for the kiddos.
For snacking today, I plan to have more skinny chocolate. I am also going to make the Mouth Watering Meringues this afternoon, as well. And if I'm really hungry, I'll have a mint chocolate frappa, too.
I will workout this afternoon. I have to take a baby to the droctor in a bit and I plan to come home and put them down for naps and workout afterwards.
Well, I'm off to my busy day!! Hope everyone has a blessed day!!

Goodbye 30lbs!
Well...I've done it!!! I LOST 30LBS!! WOOHOO!!! I can't believe it!! It's amazing! I am so excited and so thankful to have accomplished this! I still have much more to go, but I KNOW that I WILL do it!! I celebrated by pulling out all of the clothes that are to BIG for me now!! =) What a fun thing to do! I will soon be shopping for new (smaller) clothes!!
I have to say when you can eat chocolate cake, cheesecake, muffins, pizza, cookies, and ice cream and lose weight, it doesn't even feel like you are really trying!! I can honestly say that this hasn't taken that much effort for me!
I think that I may feel comfortable enough to post some before/after pics soon, and possibly even my weight and measurements. We'll see...that's still a little tough for me. I'm still ashamed of how bad I was, but at the same time am feeling so much better about myself and the changes I have made. But, I feel like it might be soon! =)
I'm gearing up to start the Fuel Cycle with a bunch of ladies from the forum next week. I'm looking forward to it. I've been doing the regular S & E & FP's for about 3 months now, and felt like it was time to give this a shot. I'll try and stay on here and update often.
Breakfast
Zucchini fritter- S
Lunch
I rolled up some ham and cheese in a half a Joseph's lavish. On the side I had some sliced cucumbers and bell peppers with laughing cow cheese. S
Snack
A few peanuts and a little skinny chocolate S
Dinner
Salad and a side of spaghetti made with Dreamfields pasta. S
Dessert
Peanut square, and because you can't have peanut butter without chocolate, I melted some skinny chocolate and poured over top. Perfect!! S
No workout today! I will tomorrow though! I love my workouts now!! =)

Hello!! My first post of the New Year!! Sorry it took me so long! (Things just don't slow down for me sometimes)
I have a busy day ahead of me so I'll keep this short and sweet! =) I finally lost the rest of my 4 Christmas pounds. So I'm at 28lbs lost!! I really can't believe it!! It's crazy! I don't even feel like I had to try that hard. It's amazing! I AM 28LBS LIGHTER!!!!!! =) 2 more pounds and I have reached 30!! Thats the size of my toddler! Eeekkk!! Makes me so excited!!
I cheated/splurged the other night! We went to CiCi's Pizza for dinner, and I ate real, carby, bread pizza!! It was yummy!! Surprisingly, I don't feel too guilty about it. I got right back on track the next morning and have been since. Thankfully the scale hasn't gone up, but it hasn't really gone down any since then, either. Oh well!! It will!!
Breakfast-2 oopsie rolls toasted with a little butter and slim belly jelly on them. S meal
Snack- leftover piece of cheesecake (so glad I can have that treat after a workout and know I'm not packing the pounds back on)
Lunch-Leftover chili with Josephs Crackers- S meal
Dinner-Alfredo chicken over dreamfields pasta
I did my Bob workout this morning. I did the Kettlebell Sculpted Body one again. I am really liking all of his DVD's. I enjoy working out now!
Take care!! =)
