Lovelytori's Journey

tori_lk · 10-19-2009, 02:27 PM

Okay, so I just did a search on here and I have like 4 old journals from back in the day. The most recent ones, I cannot remember the names of and were failed attempts on trying to get back on the low carb wagon. I have done nothing but fail each and every time! So, I am doing it different this time!! Okay, first off, I have restarted as of October 16,2004. Which is now 3 days and I am already down 5.5 lbs. I will also go ahead and reveal my starting weight as 187.5. Today, I weighed 182. I can't wait until I break into the 170's! And even lower! My birthday is November 29th and I want to look better than I have the last two birthdays! I need to make the time to exercise and I also need to remember my water. Anyhoo, I am writing all of this from my iPhone. Husband is always working from the computer and I can hardly ever get on anyways cause I go to school and I work at the Olive Garden. Sooo, it's a challenge to stay away from the carbs, but I haven't eaten at the Olive Garden in months except for the salads of course! The foods are hardly Low carb friendly. I think I'm actually sick of smelling and seeing the foods everyday. You know how you can make a huge dinner that takes forever to make and when you are finally finished, you yourself are no longer hungry? That's the same effect! I'm back. For good. Mr. Scale and my little jeans that are hanging lonely in my closet,...I've learned my lesson.

tori_lk · 10-19-2009, 11:44 PM

Just realized I put the year 2004,lol! I mean 2009. Okay, I did great the rest of the night! I did it! One day at a time! I bought the new Shape magazine tonight. Reading it before going to bed! I love that magazine! Good exercise tips! I'm excited to see the scale tomorrow! It gives me the encouragement to keep going! Hopefully, one day soon, I can lessen it to like once a week. Right now, I need it! Anyways, one other thing I need to do is pull out DANDR and reread the rules and keep a better accountability of how many carbs I'm taking in. I will probably keep a food journal as well. That way, I can always look back and see what worked and what didn't . Goodnight!

tori_lk · 10-20-2009, 02:19 PM

Okay, so I kinda cheated. I went to Subway after school and had a healthy 6 inch on wheat sandwich. Part of me wants to beat myself up and the other part thinks that it isn't that bad. Any comments from anyone on this? I need some perspective. I am going to exercise tonight and drink lots of water and also eat right the rest of the night and see how it affects me. I am not going to falter though. The problem is that I didn't wake up in enough time to have breakfast. Have midterms this month and sigh... Ok, no more excuses. Didn't get a chance to weigh in this morning, but after eating and drinking a 20 oz. Diet soda, the scale says 182. Same as yesterday, only after eating. So...if I am still 182 or less tomorrow morning, then I will take it!

Anyhoo, I think I am going to read other journals to get motivation! It's been so long since I have been on here, Im not sure if I have any friends on here anymore! Well, more laters!

tori_lk · 10-20-2009, 02:21 PM

I meant to say midterms this WEEK! That's what happens when I post from my iPhone

tori_lk · 10-22-2009, 07:37 PM

okay..it's been a day or so since I've been on here. Dealing with alot of stuff at home but I am still doing good. I am down another lb today which puts me at 6 1/2 lbs gone! Whoop Whoop. Tomorrow is my official weigh in day. Which puts me at one week on plan! I am sooooo proud of myself. I haven't been on any kind of WOE or plan for a couple of years now... My weight now is 181. Oh I would love to get under the 80's. That would be such an accomplishment for me. Well, I am doing this really fast from my husband's computer. I will write more from my phone. This is just a little bit easier. Going to go make me a healthy low carb dinner. More laters! Will also check in tomorrow for my official one week weigh in!!! Woohoo! Hoping to be under the 180's !!!

tori_lk · 10-23-2009, 12:00 AM

So tired. Long day. More in the a.m.

missgreeneyedenvy · 10-23-2009, 01:55 AM

hi....Hope you dont mind me stopping in. Congrats on your loss so far and I hope that you are where you want to be in the morning. KUTGW!

tori_lk · 10-23-2009, 08:29 AM

Hi missgreen.....thanks for the encouragement and the support. Well, I am actually the same weight this morning. Which is fine with me. I haven't lost 6 1/2 lbs in a week in so long. So it's kinda nice! Anyhoo, first week down and 6 1/2 lbs down. Whoop whoop! I did low carb when I had my son almost 7 years ago. And my body didn't really start losing losing until after the second week. Also, I don't think that I am eating enough. I need some new ideas! Food ideas, that is! Any ideas from anyone? I remember making something that had cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, splenda and cinnamon. Anyone know what I am talking about or know the recipe? If so, please respond! Also, I have been lacking on water. I am going to focus on that as well. And I think I'm going to make me some sugarfree jello. Everytime I have that at night, I was always down the next day. Back in the day, when I first started lc, I lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks and 20 in 4 weeks. I am alot heavier now though. By 30 lbs! I've been looking at all my skinny clothes in my closet and it makes me so excited to know that I have clothes to wear as I lose weight. My husband makes fun of me cause when I buy clothes, I buy them small cause I plan to wear them one day. This morning he called me his small honey and told me he could already tell that I was losing weight. Which makes me feel good, but I think he's just trying to be nice. Well, I had an Atkins shake this morning, but I think I am going to make me some bacon and eggs for breakfast. I think my calories have been kinda low and so, I need to up the anti. Isn't it, the more fat you eat, the more you lose? I really hope this post makes sense. Typing from my iPhone again!

Tylar_Connar · 10-23-2009, 08:41 AM

I am so sad you didnt look me up and let me know you were here!!

tori_lk · 10-23-2009, 12:10 PM

I tried and couldn't find you! I thought maybe you moved to another board!!!
I've missed you! How's the baby!!!

tori_lk · 10-23-2009, 12:20 PM

Okay...so...just sitting here and decided since I am bored to jump to my journal. Man, I can't wait to notice more in my face/stomach that I am losing weight. And I know this may sound absurd to some of you, but I can't wait until my boobs decrease a little. They are sooo huge. Since I got bigger, my boobs have gotten bigger and I am sporting some D's. Yikes...I miss my little C's. Anyhoo....Hoping they go down ALOT. I would prefer having smaller breasts. But that is just me. Speaking of BREASTS, I got a letter in the mail telling me that I need to go have a mammogram. Sigh. They always scare me. My little sister just had her 6 month check up mammogram and she is still NEGATIVE. She is now a 6 month survivor! She is only 28. So, since she is younger than me, it gives me an increased chance of one day getting breast cancer. But, I don't like to think about things like that! Anyhoo......Support Breast Cancer people!

I'm dying to remember that recipe with the cream cheese that I posted earlier. Sigh. I just wish I could remember it....I'm going to go search. More lates.

Tylar_Connar · 10-23-2009, 12:43 PM

I saw you guys got snow?
Yucky weather!!

missgreeneyedenvy · 10-24-2009, 03:58 AM

It's good that you are staying focused and are determined to do this this time around. 6 1/2 lbs in a week..that is awesome...Im sure the scale will be moving lower by the weekend. KUTGW miss lady.....

Oh yah...the recipe you I think you thinking of is the cheesecake cupcakes? Here is the recipe. I'm going to make a batch in the morning using the mini cupcake tins.

1 box of cream cheese......room temperature
2oz of HWC
2tsp of vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup splenda? or to ur liking.
cinnamon

blend til creamy and bake @ 350 for 15-20 minutes. Im going to use a little pam spray on the bake tin so that they dont stick. let rest til cool and refrigerate for a few hrs or overnite so that they become firm.

I read this on another thread a few days ago...can't find it now, but memorized. I was going to make some last nite but ended up making some HWC pudding. I use sugarfree/fatfree choco pudding or whater u like that is the cook type. 1 container of HWC and half a packet of the pudding. stir continuosly til it becomes very thick. make sure that you constanly are stirring as it can end up sticking. I let it set in the fridge and whaaalah. Yummmmm. I put a bit of the rediwhip canned whipcream on it. tastes great and it really hits the spot if your craving sweets.

Sorry I ranted on.....I know this your journal but I wanted to share another fab treat.

tori_lk · 10-27-2009, 03:01 AM

Hey Tonia! Sorry I haven't been on much! It was midterms this week. My weight is still the same, but it's my fault! I have been having one too many packs of splenda with tea at work! So, now I just need to cut that off and maybe things will get moving again! Justin is doing good. He's still working from home which has it's ups and it's downs. I can't wait to graduate so that we can move to Denver. That's something that I really want to do! Then maybe he can get hired at a real advertising agency and the income could be more dependable. My dogs are good. We have seriously thought of getting rid of Charlie cause he keeps tearing up things in our house. And it's really annoying. But part of me just can't let go cause the kids love him so much. I don't have as strong of a bond with him as I do my little Emma. She's just as sweet as can be. We love her to death and she is crate trained. So, that's always a good thing!
The fam in Texas is having it hard right now. Justin's Gma looks like she might not make it. She's been in ICU for over a week now and is currently on life support. Without it, she would be gone already. Justin has really been taking it hard. If she passes, we are going to try and head to Texas. We were planning on going there for Thanksgiving as well.
My sister just had her 6 month mammogram and it came back negative and we are all happy about that. She's dealing with something called lymphedema now cause of all the lymph nodes they removed when testing them for cancer as well. She is dealing with it though.
Anyhoo! I am going to really try and focus to get in the 170's this week! What is your weight at?
Oh and Eric is going to be turning 7 this upcoming Friday. Isn't that just crazy? He is a whole other story. Sigh. I will have to write more about that later when I have the time! Anyways! Fill me in now! How are things going for you!???

tori_lk · 10-27-2009, 03:03 AM

Oh and thanks missgreen for the recipe. I actually found the one that I was looking for. The one u gave me is very similar. Sounds good! I will need to try it! So, do you have a journal on here? I would love to hear about your journey so far!

missgreeneyedenvy · 10-27-2009, 05:21 AM

Good Mornin'.....

You look like you've had a busy few days....I'm sorry you are going through so much. My blessings are with you. I do have a journal also....It's called to be where I've never been before. Also linked below. At anyrate....I hope you have a blessed and wonderful LC week.

I'd like peek in on your journal to see how you do from time to time, If you dont mind. I love to read other's journeys.

Tylar_Connar · 10-27-2009, 10:09 AM

Connar is in Prek playing soccer and football.
Katelann is crawling, sitting, jabbering, and a happy baby.

I am still a SAHM. And dh work is going ok.
Thats about it for me.

tori_lk · 10-28-2009, 12:47 AM

I'm still here. Had a rough day. No weightloss. Bout to go watch the biggest loser. Man, I wish I could have Jillian kick my ass for one day. Anyhoo...I am not going to fail this time. I am motivated!

missgreeneyedenvy · 10-31-2009, 04:39 AM

Hey girlie...I hope your week has been blessed. Just wanted to stop by and check in on you!

missgreeneyedenvy · 11-09-2009, 12:58 PM

Hey you...I hope all is well!!!! Have a blessed week!

tori_lk · 11-09-2009, 09:42 PM

Hi all! Sorry I haven't been around lately! Justin's gma passed and we went to Texas for 4 days. Then when I got back, had to cram for finals. Which I aced! 4.0 Baby! Gosh, I haven't weighed myself in forever, but I have been eating right. Tonight at work, a couple of people told me it looks like I've lost weight. So when I got home, I weighed myself and it said 178! Crazy! So I will reweigh in the morning cause that wa after I ate. Well, I'm tired. More later.

Thank you Olivia! I'm just proud of myself for sticking to it!!!sorry for not posting alot! It might be like this for the next 5 weeks. I'm in Dental Radiography this term and it's hard. I gotta study alot!!!!
More laters!

missgreeneyedenvy · 11-14-2009, 04:22 PM

Oh no problem. I just check in with you to see how things are going. Your doing awesome so KUTGW! Oh and you should really change your stats.....because ummmmm you are now 175 YAYYAYAYAYA!!! You deserve bragging rights......is all yours!!!! woooohooooo

tori_lk · 11-18-2009, 01:31 AM

Okay, yes...I need to change my stats! I hit my 1 month on November 16th. I lost. Total of 12 lbs. I think 12 lbs. in 1 month is pretty good, but not what I was hoping for. The first time around on low carb, I was 152 and lost 20 lbs in a month. What is different this time? Well, Im not being as strict. I know, that sounds bad....but part of me wants to lose it slower this time cause I am afraid of losing it too fast and it coming back. Unless, I was on a show like the Biggest Loser or something. Anyhoo....I've gotten some sort of negativity at work. And some good. The good being two of my friends on my facebook seeing my posts of weight loss and telling me that they can see it. Not sure if they ar just being nice to make me feel better. The negativity being.....not sure what happened, but I think I accidently bumped into her (a busser)when I was turning around and didn't know she was behind me and I started apologizing to her and told her I was sorry. And I swear she called me fat under her breath. And then there was my friend, Hilario. His main language is Spanish with very little English. Well, we tease each other all of the time and kinda play fight. Well, he came out and was telling me to move outta his way cause he was busy.(He was just playing). So, I bumped him with my hip and he started saying something in Spanish to the busser I was talking about earlier. Well, whatever he said. They all started laughing. Normally, this would have hurt my feelings. But it didn't this time. My honest first thought was, I can't wait to show them. They have no idea Ive lost 12 lbs so far. And their ridicule has lit a fire in me. I can't WAIT to show them up. I can't WAIT to see their faces as the wright starts falling off of me to reveal who I really am. Ahhhh! I love a challenge. I honestly think I needed this. I almost feel more inspired than I did when I first started this journey a month ago!!!! So...here's to the little people!
Love,
Tori

Which puts me at one week on plan! I am sooooo proud of myself. I haven't been on any kind of WOE or plan for a couple of years now... My weight now is 181. Oh I would love to get under the 80's. That would be such an accomplishment for me. Well, I am doing this really fast from my husband's computer. I will write more from my phone. This is just a little bit easier.

Well, I am actually the same weight this morning. Which is fine with me. I haven't lost 6 1/2 lbs in a week in so long. So it's kinda nice! Anyhoo, first week down and 6 1/2 lbs down. Whoop whoop! I did low carb when I had my son almost 7 years ago. And my body didn't really start losing losing until after the second week. Also, I don't think that I am eating enough. I need some new ideas! Food ideas, that is! Any ideas from anyone? I remember making something that had cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, splenda and cinnamon. Anyone know what I am talking about or know the recipe? If so, please respond! Also, I have been lacking on water. I am going to focus on that as well. And I think I'm going to make me some sugarfree jello. Everytime I have that at night, I was always down the next day. Back in the day, when I first started lc, I lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks and 20 in 4 weeks. I am alot heavier now though. By 30 lbs! I've been looking at all my skinny clothes in my closet and it makes me so excited to know that I have clothes to wear as I lose weight. My husband makes fun of me cause when I buy clothes, I buy them small cause I plan to wear them one day. This morning he called me his small honey and told me he could already tell that I was losing weight. Which makes me feel good, but I think he's just trying to be nice. Well, I had an Atkins shake this morning, but I think I am going to make me some bacon and eggs for breakfast. I think my calories have been kinda low and so, I need to up the anti. Isn't it, the more fat you eat, the more you lose? I really hope this post makes sense. Typing from my iPhone again!

Man, I can't wait to notice more in my face/stomach that I am losing weight. And I know this may sound absurd to some of you, but I can't wait until my boobs decrease a little. They are sooo huge. Since I got bigger, my boobs have gotten bigger and I am sporting some D's. Yikes...I miss my little C's. Anyhoo....Hoping they go down ALOT. I would prefer having smaller breasts. But that is just me. Speaking of BREASTS, I got a letter in the mail telling me that I need to go have a mammogram. Sigh. They always scare me. My little sister just had her 6 month check up mammogram and she is still NEGATIVE. She is now a 6 month survivor! She is only 28. So, since she is younger than me, it gives me an increased chance of one day getting breast cancer. But, I don't like to think about things like that! Anyhoo......Support Breast Cancer people! I'm dying to remember that recipe with the cream cheese that I posted earlier. Sigh. I just wish I could remember it....I'm going to go search. More lates. Tori

Sorry I haven't been on much! It was midterms this week. My weight is still the same, but it's my fault! I have been having one too many packs of splenda with tea at work! So, now I just need to cut that off and maybe things will get moving again! Justin is doing good. He's still working from home which has it's ups and it's downs. I can't wait to graduate so that we can move to Denver. That's something that I really want to do! Then maybe he can get hired at a real advertising agency and the income could be more dependable. My dogs are good. We have seriously thought of getting rid of Charlie cause he keeps tearing up things in our house. And it's really annoying. But part of me just can't let go cause the kids love him so much. I don't have as strong of a bond with him as I do my little Emma. She's just as sweet as can be. We love her to death and she is crate trained. So, that's always a good thing! The fam in Texas is having it hard right now. Justin's Gma looks like she might not make it. She's been in ICU for over a week now and is currently on life support. Without it, she would be gone already. Justin has really been taking it hard. If she passes, we are going to try and head to Texas. We were planning on going there for Thanksgiving as well. My sister just had her 6 month mammogram and it came back negative and we are all happy about that. She's dealing with something called lymphedema now cause of all the lymph nodes they removed when testing them for cancer as well. She is dealing with it though. Anyhoo! I am going to really try and focus to get in the 170's this week! What is your weight at? Oh and Eric is going to be turning 7 this upcoming Friday. Isn't that just crazy? He is a whole other story. Sigh. I will have to write more about that later when I have the time! Anyways! Fill me in now! How are things going for you!???

I would love to hear about your journey so far!

Sorry I haven't been around lately! Justin's gma passed and we went to Texas for 4 days. Then when I got back, had to cram for finals. Which I aced! 4.0 Baby! Gosh, I haven't weighed myself in forever, but I have been eating right. Tonight at work, a couple of people told me it looks like I've lost weight. So when I got home, I weighed myself and it said 178! Crazy! So I will reweigh in the morning cause that wa after I ate. Well, I'm tired. More later.
