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.

GAHHH
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 194.2
Weight Loss: 8.0
I don't know, I'm just having a bad day, even though I went down 0.2 lbs. Just bad food choices, bad attitude, kinda crappy weather. Blahhhhhh. Everything is just setting me off. Turns out, Thomas pointed out that my so called "Goal Date" is wrong. (Stupid lady at Herbal Magic can't even count) So I won't be at my goal weight by my birthday.... Do you know how angry that makes me. The actual goal date is November 13th I think she said. That's so far away! You know, I don't really mind about the date, I just wish I didn't get my hopes up about being skinny for my birthday.
I defiantly have zero motivation right now. It's probably PMS and I'm sure the motivation will come back in a couple of days, but seriously I feel like I want to scream right now! I have way too much stress at school right now, its nearing the middle of the semester and next week is the week before our mid summer break. So the teachers crammed so many tests right before the break. I don't think I will be able to make it to that! Seriously my head feels like it's going to explode!
I'm not happy..... : / ..... I need a strong drink....

Weight Loss: 7.8
Awesome. I love to see this much loss in one day lol. It'd probably not good, but hey I drank lots of water yesterday so I think I dropped because of that. I had a really busy day with school and I had my piano recital today. I kinda messed up at the recital due to nerves. blahhh. That definitely didn't make me happy the rest of the night. I've got a lot of stress lately. I don't like it.
Well that's all I really need to say, I'm sure if I was posting on the day I'm writing about I would have more to say, but I just can't remember.

(This post if for Tuesday June 14)
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 195.6
Weight Lost: 6.6
So I'm the same, this makes me happy cause it's my time of the month and I usually get really bloated. I've been good with my food. Eating a lot of my dinners at home. Fish, Chicken. Those are the usual staples. I'm kinda getting sick of sandwiches at lunch tho. I should start making salads and stuff for lunch.
I have been a little naughty lately. I've gotten addicted to nacho chips and salsa haha. It not so bad, 2 table spoons of salsa is 10 cal's and 40 chips is 210 cal's I think. Obviously when I'm munching out I only eat like 10-20 chips. The chips and salsa curves my craving for salt really well. I just need to remember to drink lots and lots of water.

Obviously when I'm munching out I only eat like 10-20 chips. The chips and salsa curves my craving for salt really well. I just need to remember to drink lots and lots of water.

Rant
It Worked! Yesterday was so successful. :) It makes me so happy to make a plan and stick to it. I ate all the food I planned to eat, and even went to the gym!
I thought of making another plan today, since yesterday worked so well. But, I was very lazy! So instead, I made myself breakfast, went to piano, bought lunch, then continued to work on my assignment. I'm finished my assignment now, and I'm completely bored. I could do more homework, which I probably should, but I'm just feeling so down right now. I don't know what it is, probably just an off day, school is stressing me out, the fact that my summer is completely overtaken by school, and I can't even chill and relax with my friends and have a few drinks because of this stupid diet! .. Wait not diet, my new life. That's what it is, run by my school and my food. Ugh! I don't want it to be like this, I want to go to party's and drink, and I want to buy KFC and pig out! This is so stupid.
What would you pay to look the way you want? A few thousand dollars? Probably. Very occasionally eating yummy food? Maybe. Never getting drunk again? ... ehhhh. Why must it be so hard for someone like me to look like someone else. Naturally skinny people don't have to give up everything I do. What is it? My genus, my tendency to have bad luck?
Everyone needs challenges in there life. They make you a better person. The harder the challenge, the more you grow (or shrink hopefully). I just wish it didn't have to be this hard.

Do Something!
I've decided I'm not going to weigh myself today on my scale, I don't want to give myself false hope that I'm losing weight.
So I'm sitting in my bed, trying to force myself to get up. I need to finish this assignment for school, it will probably take me a couple hours, which isn't so bad, but just the thought of it is making me want to stay in bed all day. Also, getting up means I need to make myself breakfast. What should I make? Hmmm, what should I make... Maybe I should get a booster juice, but that means I need to get myself looking some what presentable to go out. Man I'm lazy. I could have cereal, but I don't want to use my starch this morning, I don't know why, I just don't.
Alright, here's the plan, I think if I make a plan, and stick to it, my day will go smoother. First, I will get up, get a shower, and go get a booster juice. I will come back, work on my assignment, and have a snack during my work. Maybe a light salad. Then once I'm finished my assignment, I will make lunch, I don't know what yet, maybe a tuna sandwich, or the chic pea thing. Both of those sound very tasty right now :) After lunch I will go to Canadian tire to pick up a present for my friend. Then Thomas will be done his work. He wants to go to the gym, which I should go with him. At the gym I will try to do some weight training instead of cardio. Also I will ask about the spin classes. I liked those a lot when I took them a few months ago. I should really get back into them. Once I'm done at the gym, I should really get another shower before I go to my friends house warming. But! before I go, it is very important that I have dinner first. For the past week I have run into these problems where I go out and get stuck where I haven't eaten dinner then I'm forced to have something that I shouldn't. So! Dinner, Maybe chiken, probably chicken. So that means I should take out some chicken from the freezer to thaw for the day. And there I go! That means I have a free exchange to have a small glass of wine at my friends house. Awesome!
See that actually wasn't so hard. I feel like I can follow this well, and have a really good day. I hope nothing goes wrong! We'll see. I'll post tomorrow to tell you how it goes. Good Luck Me!

Sorry bout that.
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 197.0
Weight Loss: 5.2 lbs
Yes, I know. Where the hell have I been! Well lets see,
1. Its hard to go and write a post everyday because I'm not always by a computer, some days the only time I get on the computer is late at night, and I don't want to write a post then.
2. I am so busy with school! This is my second to last semester, and the pressure is on, there is so much work, and not enough time in the world to do it.
3. I messed up last week and last weekend, I ate food that was totally off track. I didn't want to write it in the blog because I would feel bad.
So you're probably thinking, "Whats with all the excuses Shelby! Just get back into it!"
Well at least I'm where I was last week. All I really want to do is lose the 2 pounds per week. I feel like when you start your weight loss, all you want is to see the pounds just drop off, you want results and you want them now! But if I follow the goal of losing the 2 pounds per week, I will be at my goal weight just before my birthday, which makes me happy. Just slow and steady, no plateaus, no falling off the wagon like I just did.
I probably haven't stuck with my goals very well. I definitely haven't been posting much, I have been cheating myself saying that one thing is just as good as another which it probably isn't. I haven't gone to the gym once! And I haven't gone into Herbal Magic everyday! Hmmm, I think I'm just upset because it isn't going as fast as I wanted it to. Also, my friends aren't very good at learning when I say no, it means no! No to the drinks, no to the snacks, no to going out for sushi, for pizza, for chicken wings. Ugh! It would just be easier if I was a shut in, had no friends and no life. Then when I'm all nice and skinny, I would be like "Hello World!" haha. But life can't be that easy. Why do the best things have to be so hard! ugh!
Alright, enough complaining. I just had a really good lunch, good meaning good for me. But it was kinda tasty too haha. I'm going to post the recipe because I think everyone should make these. I've started a new page where I will post all my new recipes that I come by. As I go along I will post new tips and tricks that I think will help me through this challenge.
Since Herbal Magic is closed tomorrow, I will weigh myself on my scale around noonish to see if I'm on the right trick to lose my 2 pounds per week! just 0.8 more to go.

Reno.
Herbal Magic was closed today, so I don't know my current weight, but tomorrow I will have my current weight.
Today I tore up the basement for the renovation which we are doing. Tom and I will be moving downstairs into the apartment when it is done. It was a great workout! Plus I was so busy tearing up the basement that I didn't even eat very much.
Today I ate:
Breakfast: - Half a bagel from Timmys
- Iced Coffee w/ sweetener and milk
Dinner: - 5 oz of steak
- medium corn on the cob
- small piece of garlic bread
- salad
And that was it, not much, but I got some protein in, no veggies tho... hmm.

Gotta get out.
(This post is for Saturday May 28)
Since it was Saturday, I could not go into Herbal Magic and weigh in.
I was in the house for a large part of the day. I started to go crazy with watching Modern Family. Since I was in the house a lot, I may have eaten too much :S. Well Thomas came home after his work around 4:30 and we went roller bladding down at the pier. It was nice. Then we went and got a booster juice since we didn't know what else to do. Then we went home to make dinner. We sat around watch tv while waiting for something to do, then our friends called us up to go bowling, which was also very fun :)
Today I ate: (not so well...)
Breakfast: - 1 cup of Special K
Snack: - 1/2 cup of apple suace
Lunch: - 2 hard bowled eggs, w/ butter
Snack: - 100 Cal snack pack
- 12 oz booster juice
Dinner: - Chickpeas w/ tuna
Snack: - pudding cup
I shouldn't have had all those snacks.... oh well, will try harder tomorrow.

Stop Asking If I Want To Drink!!
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 198.0
Weight Loss: 4.2
Sooo, today, I woke up pretty late since I didn't have class. Got myself a booster juice for breakfast. yay! love booster juice :) then went to the movies with Thomas. By the time we were done the movie, it was pretty late for lunch, like 4:45. But I was starving! I got to the point where I was really emotional about it. I made Tom take me to Taco Bell because on Herbal Magic they give you a dining out guild to help to choice the proper things to eat at popular restaurants. I was going to get this gordita supreme fresco, but they changed the menu! So I attempted to order this healthy taco, by the end I was just sick of the shenanigans. I gave the taco to Thomas because I didn't want to waist my protein, carb, and fat. When I got home I made my moms famous chick pea tuna thing. It made me happy that I didn't give up and start munching on anything in my house.
Later on I went out with my friends to a pub, I knew I was going to eat late so I made sure I had enough food's saved for later. I had half of a grilled chicken and Brie wrap with in it. I can tell it's going to be hard to go out with my friends this summer since all we do is drink, and I can't drink anymore. (well at least not until my weight loss is finished) But! I did save a free exchange today so that I could indulge and have a 6 oz glass of wine, which was nice :)
Overall, had a good day, I stayed on track, even went down a little in weight. I hope this weekend goes well, weekends were always bad for me last time I did Herbal Magic. Cross your fingers!

Second day to the rest of my life...
Starting weight: 202.2
Current weight: 198.2
Weight loss: 4.0
Im really surprised at how fast this is going. I've only been really eating well for 1 and a half days. It's probably just water weight, I've been trying to get my 8 bottles of water in each day but it's hard. Besides I've never really been in the 200's for long, I think once I hit around 195, then thats when i'll gauge how fast this will go. I remember the first time I did Herbal Magic it just went so fast at the beginning, then I hit the plauteau. I'm going to try different things this time to get past any plauteaus I hit.
Today I ate:
Breakfast: (I didnt actually get a "breakfast" but I did eat something..
- 3" of my 6" tuna sandwich from subway
Snack: - pudding cup! yumm
Lunch: - the rest of my 6" sandwich from subway
Dinner: - 1 1/2 cups of sweet potato
- 5 oz of fish
- 1 tsp of oil
Snack: - 1 cup of graps
I was really good tonight even with my friend who tried to make me drink and eat timbits :P

Starting weight: 202.2
Current weight: 199.4
Weight loss: 2.8
( This post is for May 25, I was busy and didn't get to the blog. Hey I'm new at this :P)
My first day eating healthy. It was actually easier than I thought it would be to get back into the swing of things. I tried to stick around this made up plan that the lady at Herbal Magic gave me. I think school will be the only problem seeing as its hard to make sure I get a breakfast in the morning, and if I don't pack a lunch then... I don't know what I'll do, probably go back home, which is was I had to do yesterday.
Today I ate:
Breakfast - 1 cup of cereal (Special K)
- 4 oz of milk
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
Lunch - 2 slices of diet bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp mayo
Snack - 100 Cal snack pack
Dinner - 5 oz of lemon chicken
- 1/2 cup of sweet potato
- 2 cups of salad
Snack - 6 oz smoothie
Surprisingly I got everything in today. I hope this is how it goes for the whole way... Probably not. haha

Current Weight: 202.2
Weight Loss: 0.0
Had an ok day today. Some bad, some good. Got a parking ticket, couldn't pay for herbal magic myself because of a hold on my account. But then again, used my moms card to pay for herbal magic, bought new cloths, and started herbal magic. Well kind of started, I'm going to start my herbs and good food tomorrow.

McDonald's, 2 chicken snack wraps, small fry, medium pop
another medium ice cap, milk (it was a hot day haha)
bowl of chic peas with tuna
Not a good day with food. But tomorrow is technically my "first" day.Will up load a picture tomorrow so I can see a difference as I go.

The Calm Before the Storm
Start Weight: xxx.x
Current Weight: xxx.x
Weight Loss: x.x
It is the night before I will be starting Herbal Magic. I'm nervous only because I don't know exactly where all the money will be coming from to pay for all of the supplements. I know my mom will help, she's always there for me if I need her, but it just makes me feel bad to take so much from her. I don't know, maybe I can find a job this summer to pay for all the supplements. The only reason I think I wont get a job is that I'm doing my 5th semester of my Architectural Technology program this summer, so i don't exactly have the time to work. Well I shouldn't worry about that now, I have the money to start tomorrow, so that is that.
I will post my start weight and current weight tomorrow, so that my blog is the same as what will be recorded in my Herbal Magic journal.
