Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 185.8
Weight Loss: 16.4 lbs
So this week, I did a shake plateau breaker. It was hard, and honestly I'm really mad I'm not lower. It was my fault I started at 192, gahhh I hate this! What ever, I'll see what I am tomorrow and see how useful this plateau breaker was. Hmmm, I'll have more motivation tomorrow maybe...

How Much Would You Spend To Be Skinny?
I'm not even going to tell you how much I weigh, it's not very good, I haven't been in it much. It kinda makes me sad... if you want to know, I'm 191.2
Well I have a busy weekend ahead of me, and don't get me wrong I'll try, but there will be a lot of drinking haha. Christina at Herbal Magic, she wants me to do this shake plateau thing. It's where I have a shake for breakfast and lunch, then dinner, for a week. It kinda sounds horrible lol. I love to eat, especially for breakfast and lunch. She told me this other girl (who was sitting in the other room at the time) had lost 6 pounds, and she wasn't even done her one week yet.
After I weighed in with Christina, I was chattin it up with the lady's and the other girl in the room was looking at the shakes. She said something like "You know I'm sick and tired of spending all my money here." It made me laugh because I feel like that all the time! I told her "Yea, but imagine what it will feel like when you are skinny and hot! I won't even care how much money I spent, because I will have the one thing I want." If someone asked me, what would you spend to be skinny? It would probably be how much I am spending now. So I'm not going to freak out about it. :)
So I think I will start Monday, after my horrible weekend lol. I hope that I can get back down to 186 by Friday, then kind of stay there by Sunday. Then when I start this shake thing, I want to go into the 170's!! That would be awesome :) Well, I'll blog before I get into the weekend and tell you if I made it back to 186. Cross your fingers, I want this to work lol

Fabulously Failing
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 189.8
Weight Loss: 12.4
This sounds good, well not really. Its been weeks, and I should actually be down by 20, not 12. I hit my lowest last week, which was 186.4. Amazing! haha but last weekend I drank a lot, and ate a lot. The week before I decided to take charge and eat right, that's how I got to 186. I'm trying to do the same. Yesterday, after my long weekend, I was 192.6. Pretty bad, it was probably due to me not drinking water. So I ate well and drank a lot of water!
I'm trying to do the same today. I don't really know how it will go, I still haven't eaten dinner, and I usually like to eat dinner around 5. I have nothing to make, and obviously it's hard to buy fast food for dinner that is healthy for you. I'm thinking Swiss Chalet. Probably shouldn't tho. Hmmm, I should really go grocery shopping. Blahh. I hope tomorrow goes well. I'll make a very strong effort to blog tomorrow. For my sake.

Can Only Go Up From Here!
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 193.8
Weight Loss: 8.4
Funny title eh? I was driving home from Herbal Magic today, (which I have gone up if you haven't noticed, well actually I've been going down, but I'll tell you the story after I explain the title.) as I was saying, I was driving home and this song came on the radio, It was Up! from Shania Twain, you probably know it. I starting singing it and had a little bit of a chuckle because obviously I don't want to go up! But honestly the song kind of made me feel a little better. If I changed it to "can only go down from here!" that would make this my song haha.
Right, as you can see from my last post, which was a long time ago (opps), I was 190!! Amazing right?! Well I pulled one of my usual, "I did good! Now lets party!!!" So that weekend I ate, and drank and completely forgot about my supplements. Obviously when I went into Herbal Magic on the Monday, things were not pretty. I was all the way up to 196! Can you believe that! Honestly it wasn't all fat, it was probably water storage because of all the salt. So on Tuesday I tried to get back into it, and I went down to 194.2. Which is the drop I expected because of the water storage. On Wednesday I was at about 193.8. Not as much of a drop as I wanted, but to be honest, I was not trying as much as I should have been. I didn't go in Thursday because I'm lazy and today I am still 193.8. I am very upset if you can't tell. To be on track (which is 2 pounds per week) I should be down 14 lbs by Monday. Eeekk, that is so not going to happen. I will be lucky if I'm down to 10 pounds by Monday.
I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't have any motivation. I definitely haven't had one perfect day since I started about a month ago. Like I always say, If I was a shut in, this thing would be perfect!
Alright, I'm going to stop complaining. Here's my goal, I will change one bad habit until it sticks, then I will change another bad habit until each day is perfect. Tomorrow will be breakfast. The girl at Herbal Magic said I should try having cottage cheese for breakfast. I love cottage cheese :) So I will eat that for breakfast. I will try to not have starch for breakfast all week. Let's see how that goes... cross your fingers!

Super Size Me
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 190.8
Weight Loss: 11.4
Yes! I hit it! The 10 pound mark! Haha! I really want to blog everyday, but my life is just too busy to keep this weight loss thing on my mind all day. It's been a while, but at least I'm trying to keep to it. I defiantly haven't been doing my best, I know my loss shows otherwise, but it's just because I know how to cheat. Don't take that as an excuse to cheat. (Even though I do.) It's one of those, don't practice what I preach things.
I was cleaning my room yesterday and if you knew me, you would know this is a big feat. You can never usually see the floor for weeks on end because it is covered in cloths. Well yesterday I did all of my laundry. After cleaning up all of the cloths from the floor, I found a few tags from some new shirts I got a while ago. They were extra large, and I felt a pang of sadness when I picked them up. Its only been this year since I had to start wearing extra large. I was never really into cloths my whole life, but it's gotten to a point where I actually can't buy cloths at certain stores. I don't like that feeling, certain stores don't want to let people like me wear there cloths. You wouldn't see it when you first looked at me, I don't actually look that big. That's what makes me feel so bad.
A main thing I'm going to do when I'm done this weight loss is take a huge shopping trip to New York City and get a whole new wardrobe. Just look forward to that post with the title New York City Baby!

Just Hold On
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 193.8
Weight Loss: 8.4
I know, I'm doing it again, not posting. Its hard to do this everyday. Yea, I know, I keep saying that too, haha. Well I'll just keep trying to do my best. Like with this weight loss, its hard. I bet its easy to sit there and read my blog. I bet one day, someone stumbled upon this blog, hoping to find motivation to lose weight. Like I did, about a year and a half ago. I was co-oping, and was around 180. This was after my first Herbal Magic attempt. I was on Jenny Craig, and it wasn't really working. I was searching for the best way to lose weight and I came across this blog. This women, I don't know where she lived again, probably in the states I think. Well she was on Weight Watches. I have tried Weight Watchers before. It was simple to follow really, just eat the amount of points per day. If you were good and went to the gym, you got more points. Also during the week you get this extra points that if you save up, you could splurge. I never really liked it because it didn't teach you about portion control or healthy eating habits.
Well back to my story, I started reading this blog, from the beginning. It must have been 2 years since this women had wrote in her blog. There was at least a years worth of blogging and I thought, awesome, I can read this women's blog about her story and get some real motivation. I started at the beginning, she seemed like me, just a little older tho. I got addicted to reading her blog. I must of spent a few days just reading her blog every moment I could. It was like a story. I read about her ups and downs. It was so motivating to see everyday how she would just keep losing weight. Then as I got on, the posts where getting farther in between. She would post about how she messed up here and there, but she would do better the next day. But the next post was a week later, and she posed about how she went up, but its ok, because she will do better tomorrow. It got to a point where she just stopped posting. And that was it. I was so disappointed. This women, who I didn't even know, gave me so much hope. She made me feel like I could do it too! But then, she failed.
I promised myself that when I take up this challenge I will start a blog, and I will keep it going until the end. So that someday, someone like me, can find this blog and read my story and get the motivation to do the same. This blog helps me, but I know how much it will help you.
So, today. Lets see, I haven't blogged since Thursday. I remember, I was 194.2. That was good of me. Well Friday I went up a little, I was 194.8. eekk. I told the girls at Herbal Magic "This weekend will be just as good as last!" Bunch of load of crap that was haha! I spent all of Saturday babying Thomas because he was sick. haha It was nice to spend the whole day with him though. I've been so busy with school lately, it was nice to have my Thomas time. I was alright with my food during the day, but at the end, I was just sick of it, I was craving and apple turnover! I convinced Tom to stop badgering me by making a bet. I bet that even if I had this apple turnover, I would still be at least in the 193's by Monday. He bet that I would go up. I said if I go up, then he can day whatever he wants about my food choices, but if I go down then he can't say a word. In my mind, I would be so good with my food on Sunday that I would win the bet.
Turns out, I was crap on Sunday. haha. I ate a second apple turnover, and a sausage at dinner. That was really the only bad thing, oh wait, a piece of apple pie. eekk. Well I drank a lot of water and tried really hard at lunch. Turns out! I am 193.8 so HA! take that Thomas! I know what I'm doing. See you don't need to cut out everything in your life. You just need to know when you need to buckle down after indulging a little bit.
Honestly though, I'll be lucky if I get through this week alive. I have mid terms this week and I am seriously already dying. Its quarter to 12 now and I've only just finished a report that is due tomorrow. I have been working all day since 9 this morning. I don't think I can do it again tomorrow. My food is defiantly going to suffer this week. I just hope I can hold onto this wagon as long as possible, before the proverbial horse decides to kick its hinge legs in my face.
Man I need to sleep. Why don't you wake me when this is all over.
