Well i am ashamed i havent been sticking strickly to this and its making me mad because i know how amazing i felt last time every time i stepped on the scale and i was a few pounds down! :sad: im eating great most the time, well my meals anyways, i stared off great with water and green tea and am slacking but now getting back on track with that intake today! Its hard for me because i already have to pee so much :-) my 3rd child really messed up my bladder, so drinking all this water and tea makes me go every few minutes sometimes! So whenni have things to do with lots of driving i cant drink all that i need or else i will literally pee my pants lol sad but true! I am still just down 3 pounds so im right at 150 and its driving me nuts because i was at 146 and i was picturing myself atleast being in myn130s by now but i decided to gain weight instead....ggrrr! But im back atleast mostly in the losing mindset and im excited to be warm weather ready! Excited for shorts n tanks and bathing suits not dreading it because i chose ice cream and being lazy over being more active and feeling good about myself! Ugh...im sorry im venting! Phew but anyways i can garauntee(thats not spelled right i dont think) that next saturday i will be in the 140s again and be screaming with joy not venting to ya! U r all doing great just stick with it because u know how much better you feel even if your not strick like you should be! Just imagine the success you would have if you didnt cheat yourself! Yes im taking my own advice! Rant over lol!! Have a great weekend!We got this ladies!

This week has been a little more frustrating for me. I did gain a couple of lbs back & then yesterday I finally began to lose again! whew!!! I only had 1 fruit yesterday (instead of 2) ...so I'm going to see if that helps the scale go down!? I know I'm needing more vegies & to exercise eventually..lol!

I've had a few intense cravings this week...& I did kind of give in to one last night... but I had to remind myself that if I really need something 'extra' than to be VERY carefully not to go too overboard or else I'll have to start Ph 1 all over again... & I do not want that!!!

Saying that....let's keep @ it ladies!!! The benefits FAR outweigh the difficulties! More energy, less cravings, more self-control, feeling a little thinner, happier & healthier! Keep it up....you're doing awesome! I'm encouraged to hear your progress :happy: !

I messed my whole thing up! Today I started all over again at day one. I know that I can do this, I just have to stick with it. I'm doing pretty good today. What I am trying to do is eat exactly what's on the paper instead of coming up with my own meals this time.

I just picked up Jillian Michaels 30-day shred today... what a coincidence! I read good reviews about it, so I decided to check it out. I have several Beachbody videos, but I just don't make the time for the 45 min workouts. I figure I could start with Jillian and work my way up. I did a 3 mile hike today, so I will start Jillian tomorrow (maybe).

189.2 is my current weight.
