I feel like a complete failure.....

I don't  know what my problem is I can't seem to ever stick to a diet for more than a week even with the JM diet the food was amazing. We went out of town one weekend and thats when I failed when your driving 5 hours to a destination its so much easier to stop and grab a cheeseburger than it is to eat a salad in the car. I just don't know what to do we desperately are wanting another baby and have been trying since January and due to my weight it is impossible and I need to change I just don't know how anymore.

Sorry I have been away

I have been awhile and I am so sorry but my computer is sitting with the geeksquad and Nicks computer only works when it wants to. So I will be sure to update soon.

Frustrated

Sorry I have been away so long, we went out of town last weekend and to no fault but my own I fell off the bandwagon, it is so frustrating and I dont know what to do. I get so tired of failing and not following through with anything. It seems that as soon as I set my mind to something everything changes.

What kind of things discourage you?

sorry I'm late

Hello sorry I didn't post yesterday but the kids had to get physicals for preschool, which turned into shots and BLOOD WORK!!! We then had to make a 5 hour journey to the good old town of Bellflower Missouri. I cheated a bit on the trip but I eat out of boredom and sitting in the car is very boring. So when we stopped I grabbed a bag of pistachio's and even grabbed the kids some freeze dried fruit. But no Nick had to have a Slim Jim (he knows thats a weakness for me). But I just took a small bite. When we arrived at his grandmas house I ate a bowl of cereal (organic flax pumpkin crunch or whatnot) it was really good. I packed some veggies such as spinach and salad, along with some strawberries raspberries and blackberries. Birthday party tomorrow though and I am just hoping that I can not fail tomorrow. After the birthday party we are headed off to the kick off bonfire for St. Louis' Next Biggest Loser. Please Pray for me that I can withstand the temptation of chocolate covered pretzels and other sinful snacks. And thank you for reading my story.

Yesterdays lunch Hummus Veggie Pita good except I couldnt chew the carrots.

you'll never know unless you try it

Putting that title in made me think of the Yo Gabba Gabba gang when they are introducing new food "Try it, you might like it" we had an amazing dinner tonight we had grilled steak with red onion, roasted carrots, and warm apple-cabbage slaw. Everything was really good minus the apple-cabbage slaw (but you never know just because we didnt like it doesn't mean you wont). I gained a pound since I started and I know its because I havent been exercising but I am trying to motivate myself to do it. But it is really hard. Please pray for me that I will work up the energy and stuff to actually do the exercising that I need to do. But before you do check out the pictures from todays breakfast and dinner. Here is a look at my breakfast and dinner today.

Whole Grain Waffle with Blackberries Yogurt and Slivered Almonds

Yogurt I added a bit of Stevia & Vanilla with some crushed blackberry and Slivered Almond

Grilled Steak with Red Onion Roasted Carrot and Warm Apple-Cabbage Slaw

breakfast for dinner

I know I know this doesnt sound very healthy but it is my favorite since I am really bad about not eating breakfast but always seem to want it. That is why we had breakfast for dinner and I am talking french toast bacon and berries. I did cut out the butter but not the syrup. It was so so so good. I was so hungry just looking at my plate I didnt even take a picture. OK OK. I used Jillians recipe for french toast and Turkey bacon I will share the recipe here in a few just without a photo because I was serious about not getting one.

Why put off for tomorrow what you could get done today.

So I was going to start my diet next week when we went grocery shopping but I know me very well and if I don't start now when next week comes I wont want to do it. So tomorrow is the big day I am going to start my diet. I even tried one of the recipes tonight for "Mexican Pizza" and it was amazing I will share it under the good food tab here in a few and I cannot wait for you to try it. Tomorrow I will be posting my official start day weight and hope that you follow me on this journey.
