TETTE`S TROUBLES

[tette]

Well I guess it`s time to Write things down.
I tried a journal on paper but it did`nt really work to well,
I beleave this will be beter.

Ok first off about me.
My name is Lizette and I live again in Canada,I had lived in holland (the Netherlands)for 10 years before coming back.Never thought I`d be back on this side of the ocean.Before that I lived in Winnipeg also in Canada,Had my son when I was 18 (he is now 15)was not in the best way then,Aaron`s dad was a drinker and emotionally it was hard so i turned to food I really don`t know how high I was at that point but I was big.So then one day my grandmother in Holland wanted to see her first grandchild(Aaron) and was willing to pay for our trip there.Well we went and stayed.My parents are Dutch so I have 2 passports and can live in either country.Was the best thing I ever did.Lost lots of weight(due also from stress)got to go to school and better myself,which is great for the self asteem and after a while met my husband Ron.
Well living in Holland and Europe in general was getting harder and harder we got the euro (the dollar) and alot of foreigners and it just went down hill.
So we decided to move here to the rockies must say it`s a nice place to live.
anyhoo we were happy and what happends when your happy you get comfertable you eat and you gain.Seeing that Ron also was heavy we together were our worst enemy.Happy snacking our way to bigness.

SOOOOO now we are on lc together,He has lost of course more then me. like men do but in the long run I thing I`m stronger,he cant last long without Chocolate.He eats it and still loses now thats mean!!!!

But I did realize that my portions were to big.after christmas we went off for 2 weeks,and came back on lc i had one big whoosh but that was it could not even get back to siggy weight,I thought it was because I started to exercize seriously this time,thats why i was`nt losing.but no just eating to much of the legal stuff.so this journal is my spot to write down what I eat.that way I can see what im doing.

B:nothing wasnt hungrey
L:chicken breast with bacon and mushrooms
S:2 eggs
S:Is late because I work till 8 pm 2 hamburger patties with a bit of mayo and mustard.

Ok thats it till tomorrow

]Lizette!!! That is way too kewl that you and your hubby are doing this, together!!...... Must make things alot easier when it comes to meal planning etc... I know if I had to cook 2 seperate meals, I would definately end up cheating..... And dont worry, for some reason men always seem to loose faster..... One day at a time, chin up, smile, and keep on truckin'...... Look forward to "lurking" through your journey...... Lei

[tette]

Thanks Lei,
Yes love that hubby does it with me.
I`m doing a happy dance!!!!(maybe it`s the pee pee dance)
Back at siggy weight
Lost 4 pounds in 4 days whoohoo!!
It`s hard sometimes like yesterday Ron was chewing on a big @ss chocolate bar while we were watching a movie,but MY reward was getting on the scale today!!!!!

OK it is sunday and I have to go to work soon.gotta make breakfast.
no lunch cuz it`s fast paced in the resaurant with no lunch breaks so just brekkie and dinner today.

B:bacon and eggs
Dinner:I think Chicken legs but not to sure yet.

Had a good night last night and today is my day off so its going to be a cleaning day,plus callan that should be enough exercize for today!!!oh and must make muffins!was at a place called Liquidation world and found Atkins bake mix,that disapeared off the schelves here real fast,anyways instead it being $10,99 was 99 cents hahaha bought them all!if they expire on me ohwell

B:not to hungery might skip it
L:last nights chicken mmmmm
D:i dont know will update later

[cdn_gal]

Hey Liz, congrats on the loss...... Just in case you didn't know, you can make your own Atkins Bake mix, that taste the same, and measures cup for cup in place of flour.... Its great to make all kinds of things with.... I cant find anything like that around here, so had to resort to learning how to make it myself..... I think that BC is the last place to get anything good like that.... Anyways, sorry to ramble, KUTGW!!!......

[tette]

I know It`s sooo hard to find anything,I hear them talk about stuff like diet rite would love to taste this but no still not here.But did make some muffins,if you got the time Lei could you write up the recipie for me???These are not going to last forever.

Lets see had a lazy day today got up at 9 and had coffee came here,cleaned my fridge,made muffins,banana nut and chocolate mmmmm(chocolate for ron)

[cdn_gal]

Hey, I just noticed your before and now thingy... wow, what a difference already!!......Your doing so awesome!! I like that idea with the pic thing, I'm gonna have to steal that idea from you, if you dont mind of course.....And I dont mean to sound rude and like a b*tch by any means, cause thats not my intentions at all, but you dont look like you weigh what your stats says.... You look alot less, guess thats the benefits of being tall..... I know that feeling at being almost 5'10 myself, only thing with me is tho, is that I had to loose like 50 pounds before anybody noticed..... Just the way I'm built I guess..... Okay, enough rambling for one day, I have my own journel to do that in.... Keep up the great work, your looking awesome so far.......Lei

[tette]

Thats ok Lei alot of people think I weigh less then what the scale says,but I check almost every day and it still reads 243.5 and around home no one notices at all sniff sniff.

Had to work the early one today wen. and thur. I start at 6 am so no computer till after dinner,
B:a muffin
L:leftover pizza made from a ground beef crust.
D:2 smokies with a mix of bacon onion,cabbage,mushrooms,all fryed together.goodness thats good.

I did`nt sleep well last night had some coffee after dinner.Not good think I saw 12:30 on the alarm clock and had to get up at 5 so everything went wrong today of course.

B:salad
L:2 hamburger patties
D:not hungrey
S:3 strips of bacon

[tette]

Well i`m up that .5 pound,don`t get it,I never gain only if i eat something bad,maybe the salad but it was my only carbs theres none in the burgers and bacon we can have so mmmm,doing the salad again today if still nothing then i must stop but home made dressing is better than store bought??no sugar??i don`t know.maybe not enough water,don`t drink as much at work.my scale is realy fighting me right now.

B:2 eggs and 3 strips bacon
L:salad
D:hamburgers or chicken burgers

[cdn_gal]

Do you use Fitday, to keep track of how many cal/carbs you are eating?....... I will take a guess after looking at your menu's, that you may not be eating enough??..... As dumb as it sounds, your body needs food in order to loose....And your right, it could also be water retension...... I can tell if thats what it is with me, cause my fingers swell up, and my rings get tight.....Perfect reminder for must drink more water!...... Hope you have an awesome weekend, I am off to work shortly.....

[cdn_gal]

Okay, just made a new batch of the fake atkins mix, so thought I'd write it down for you at the same time......

Faux Atkins Bake Mix

1 cup soy flour, or powder, which tastes better
2 cups soy protein isolate
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pourable Splenda

Sift together, then store and use as you would regular Atkins Mix.

[tette]

Hey thanks Lei,
And no I don`t do fit day every time I try takes forever and lots of thinga are not in there so I don`t bother.

And yes I was not eating enough, I know it`s just when i made my portions smaller and lost 5.5 pounds in a week i was thrilled and then i went smaller and smaller and that was`nt good.
any ways had a tough few days had popcorn last night air popped with butter and salt and sf chocolate i was mad. good thing we did`nt go to the buffet i wanted to but ron said no make the meatloaf and i did,but still had popcorn and guess what 243.5 this morning.that weight does`nt want to move any which way.

Oh well live and learn,back on plan today just was in a funk i guess still am abit.

B:none
Lancakes with bacon
D:homemade burgers with salad

[tette]

I~M BACK!!!!!!!!!

Hello all I feel much beter no more funk!
still at 243 but ok My grip on sanity is back to the way it was,
i just went a little scale crazy i guess,
but i am back that is the main thing.

B:2 sausage muffins(sausage,cheese,eggs,heavy cream,hot sause and a bit of garlic powder)
L:salad with chicken
D:ribs in crockpot and roasted veggies mmmmmm

[tette]

so glad to be out of my funk,i understand why some hide the scale i never reacted badly from the scale just kept me on track if it went up then ok somethings wrong whats up,kinda thing now i went a little mad!!maybe we all must go through a mad stage i don`t know.

I do know that I have to do this and I know that it`s slow going,but those 5.5 pounds made me crazy why cant i always lose like that!oh well slow and steady once again.
