ROSEROCKS

I’m back! last week was soo fun I had a great vacation and now its time to get back to business. I had my 28 week Dr. appointment today and my doctor said I’ve lost weight!! which is good because the last time I was there my weight had skyrocketted to 175lbs! Today’s weigh in I was at 172 Lbs which is not bad considering my vacation and everything I ate! My goal weight is 169 so I need to continue on this healthy eating journey for the sake of my baby. Last thing I want is to have complications because of my weight! So it’s definitively getting tough because I’ve been craving nothing but bad stuff like ice cream, pie, chocolate and with easter, my bday and a vacation I definitively gave in to all my cravings haha. But now its time to get back on the wagon and time to go back to the salads..yum. wish me luck!!

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve visited buddy slim and boy has my life changed since I was last here!! In November of last year (2010) we found out we’re having our first baby! yeay.. I’m officially 25 weeks pregnant right now and my due date is August 4th 2011, very exciting yet scary time in our lives. Sooo much is about to change! I’m really looking forward to being a mommy but being that I’ve always been a person who struggles with her weight now more than ever I have to make an effort to get healthy.

I’ve been doing a lot of research and according to babycenter.com for my height and original weight of 155 Lbs I should only gain about 12 lbs during my pregnancy to have a healthy pregnancy. I was doing fine at first but the last couple of weeks my weight just sky rocketed to 175 lbs!! yikes that’s the heaviest I’ve ever been!! So that’s why I’m back! haha..  time to take back control of my weight.. I just started 2 days ago and I’ve already lost 2 lbs! I must admit this is easier than I thought it would be. Don’t worry I know that being pregnant I can’t be dieting cause of the baby so I’m just watching what I eat. Having a lot of protein and calcium rich products low in fat and lots and lots of veggies. Salads are my best friends now haha. I love, love, love the food journal! It is sooo helpfull in making you accountable of what you eat! 

 Another reason why I decided to come back is because at the end of this month I’m turning 29! and to celebrate we’re going to Rocky Point, Mexico its our first time going and being that this will probably be our last couples vacation before the baby comes I definitively want to be in the best shape possible. So much to look forward to!! I can’t wait!! I’ll try to post some pics of the belly wish me luck and till next time =)

So I’ve been gone for a while but I’m back and this time I’m determined to do this right! At the moment I think I’m at the biggest I’ve ever been 166 can you believe that!!! so I did some research and according to the internet my ideal weight is 127 lbs which i guess is not as bad as I thought cause when i was 134 i always thought it was 120! who knew! I was soo close back then! so according to buddy slim I had a deficit of about 1000 calories yesterday so if I keep doing what I’m doing I should be losing about 1 lb ever 3 days! lets see.. 166-127= 39 lbs! wow i really messed up this time! I should have never let it get to this point but oh well whats done is done and all I can do is look forward. So back to my equation in 30 days /3 days per lb= 10 lbs per months so that means I should be at my ideal weight in exactly 3.9 months! EASY RIGHT! haha if only it were that easy! All I can do is take it one day at a time and hope that i can keep that daily deficit of 1000 calories as oppose to a surplus of 500!

 Who knew math would one day be this meaningful in my life! So.. by this time you must be wondering what is she doing to have that deficit.. well here’s what I’ve been doing.. breakfast and lunch are easy cause I’m at work.. so I have the costco brand diet shakes (equivalent to slim fast) 2 apples as my snacks.. one after breakfast. one during lunch to go with my shake. Dinner is alway the killer for me cause I get out of work early and as soon as I get home (around 3:30 pm) I have a lot of time to kill and all I ever want to do is eat!! not anymore haha.. so last night I got home and since I was gone for the holidays I was really behind on my shores so I folded some laundry, I listened to the audio book I checked out at the library earlier in the day, I did my bed, I had my husband move the treadmill into our room so that I can start using it on a daily basis. I had some soup for dinner and 30 minutes later my husband and I watched the laker game while I walked 2 miles on the treadmill!

Wish me luck as today is a new day and I will try my best to be real good =)

I don’t even know how to start today.. I have to confess today I gave in completely.. i feel like such a pig!! i ate and ate and ate till i made myself sick.. why did i do it? maybe its because I don’t want it bad enough, or maybe its because every day that’s past since I started my road to “recovery” I’ve been slowly giving in to the urges. like a bad addict that starts with a little drop of alcohol just to get a taste than moves on to a zip, and finally ends up drinking the whole bottle.. that was me today!! I started my whole diet for Lent cause my coworkers and I decided to give up something as a sacrifice. I decided to give up all bad carbs. no bread, no pasta, no rice, no cookies, no crackers, no junk food basically. well I was doing really good I’ve almost lost 10 lbs all together since I started with my diet but the last week I can say God has been testing me to say the least!! it started with me giving in to chocolate one day. I said no biggie I’ll just start over. Than I went out to dinner with my hubby to Market Broiler (this nice seafood restaurant) and the waitress brought us a fresh roll of sourdough bread to munch on while we waited for our meal. I had been good so i figured one bite wouldn’t hurt. i ended up having about 3 bites total of the delicious fresh baked bread. than sunday morning we were all out of groceries so we went to burger king for breakfast I got some breakfast wraps they have and I only ate the eggs, some of the bacon ans sausage and I had like 2 or 3 pieces of the hashbrowns. but today.. boy oh boy.. today was like something came over me! I came home and I ate some leftovers I had from lunch which was a small piece of fish with some leftover salad I was doing fine so far. after I finished I was laying in bed watching tv and ended up taking a nap. when I woke up it was like I was a different person! I started snacking on everything I found in sight. I had a string cheese. than being that i was home alone I finally gave in to carbs! my hubby brought home a box of my favorite cereal last night-frosted mini wheats, so I had a bowl. than i found this chocolate covered marshmallow candy bar so I figured since I had already broken my diet I might as well!..oh yeah and lets not forget the pringles which I found by the computer.. i ate a few of those too.  and lastly giving in to my every heart desire.. I grilled two hot dog winnies and ate them with CATSUP!! i know im a big fat pig!! i can’t believe i ate all of that today!!!! i am afraid of stepping on that scale tomorrow morning after the little stunt I just pulled.  I don’t understand .. why do people binge eat. seriously I think its a desease.. honestly tomorrow I’m gonna go to the park with my dogs and run to burn some of these empty calories I just consumed. I think these next couple of days i’m predicting salads in my future!! lol. wish me luck.

What a day!!!! gosh there’s times when I just feel like crap!! i got sooo much work today i felt like I was the only one doing any work. my ‘friend’ whom I got the job, keeps giving me all kinds of work and she gives the other guy “my partner” all the easy stuff!!!! what the f#$%!! Thank god its friday! I was sooo close to saying something cause i feel like everyone one’s out to get me!. its every sole for themself.. . TRUST NO ONE!! gosh how I hate office politics!.. but im not gonna let it get the best of me. I usually tend to vent to my sister who also works with me but I’ve learned that, that’s no good either cause it just spreads the anger around so today I didn’t tell her anything and just kept quiet. seriously though I wanted to turn around and say have you gotten any work today!! but I didn’t I’ve learned from previous experience he who complains first loses in the office world. He who does it all with out a peep gets recognized sooner or later. so I’m just gonna keep working. I swear if I didn’t know any better I’d think that my friend is trying to sabotage me cause she wants my job! I’m doing really good.. my boss thinks im doing a great job, I’m making money for the firm, I’m getting my house. But I seriously need to learn to keep my mouth shut. It seems like ever since I said I was doing so good I’ve been getting swamped with work!!

 but enough about that drama!, its day 3 and still no bread,  no rice, no carbs.. well only the good kind (veggies) its gonna be hard being good since im going to dinner tomorrow night with my hubby for one of my girlfriends bday at a sushi bar!!! and we’re going to the club after so I hate to say it but I think im gonna lose that battle! i really need to get rid of all my frustrations so I think the few lbs will be well worth it. but we’ll see…

Hello,

well i’m proud to announce that this time I’m back and I’ve actually lost some weight!! I can’t say that its been through hard work cause I really still haven’t worked up the courage to start working out..im soo bad. daylight savings is coming so i’ll be able to go outside and walk with my dogs so im definitively looking forward to that! its been a very exciting month i must say.. my hubby and i are actually in the process of buying a house!!! talk about stress.. its been such a roller coaster! its a forclosed home and it really needs a lot of work..i mean..a looooooooot of work but still, its super exciting! I can’t wait till we close. if all goes well we should be closing march 13th! yeay! can’t wait..

on another note going back to my weight loss, I’m currently weighing 154 lbs. Yesterday was the beginning of Lent i believe. I’m not very religious but my coworkers are so I heard from them that Lent was here so I figured it would be a good way to DIET ofcourse..haha.. so everyone usually gives up something you know as a sacrifice i guess.. so I decided to give up most carbs! I actually started my diet on fat tuesday I went back to my Costco shakes (they’re the equivalent to slim fast) I try to have one for breakfast and one for lunch. if I get hungry I try to eat an apricot cause its low in carbs, or papaya. I’ve actually been really good! I don’t eat bread, or rice or tortillas, or anything that has carbs. It’s actually not so bad. 

At first I was kinda getting grossed out cause I was eating sandwiches basically without the bread. I could only eat that for 2 days before I got sick of it. so what I’ve basically done is I still eat the main course without all the sides and since I’m use to always having bread (im latina but I’ve never been big on tortillas instead I ate bread!) with my dishes I replaced my bread with lettuce. anytime I would use bread I use lettuce. so last night i had fajitas with lettuce ofcourse! tonight I did not feel like cooking and i’m still recovering from the turkey sandwiches so turkey was the last thing I wanted to see, so I actually had a bologna and cheese wrap. I was bad I had ketchup!! ps. I loove ketchup but im not suppose to have it cause it has carbs!.. anyhow other than that I’ve been preatty good. I’m starting to crave sweets but whenever I crave something I either eat some protein ie. bologna or I’ll have some low carb fruit like papaya or simply drink lots of water. that works for a second or so!.. haha.  this diet is suppose to last for 40 days which would take me into easter so we’ll see! I really want to be in shape for summer so I need to keep on it.  well till next time =)

today is my 1st day logging on in a very long time. Its amazing what just logging on can make you do. I’ve been such a couch potato since the holidays! it was preatty sad that I actually have gained more weight since my last log in. today I finally got on the threadmill and walked a whole mile! yeay for me. I’m really going to try to start walking for an hour like my doctor recommeded 2 summers ago! wish me luck =)

Hi everyone,

Ok well I decided that since I started my week of weight loss on tuesday (when I joined) I’m gonna be doing my weigh-ins every monday morning but I guess cause I’ve been so good the last couple of days I really couldn’t weight till Monday to see how i’m doing so I cheated! yes yes I know! I’m weak !! but I’m happy to report that I’ve already lost 1 lb!!!

So on that happy note I wish everyone happy dieting! Be good!
