Weight: 201.8 lbs
Liver Cleanse
Workout: Chest and Back, Abs
Breakfast: 2/3 c oatmeal with 1 tbsp flax seed, 1 tsp brown sugar
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Reliv Shake
Snack: Half of a toasted PB & J sandwich
Dinner: Steak, seasoned potatoes, salad
I really have an issue with working out the last 3 days of my week. I am great at the first 4 though!!
I will be much better this week. I in fact did abs today as well (just in case you didn't notice).
No soda, even though we have it here at the house. No chips, even though we have 2 full bags and 3 partial bags. I would say no bread....but I highly doubt that. I can say it will be less bread than what I had over the weekend. And I am going to try very hard to eat a mid morning snack and a mid afternoon snack. I have been told that eating small meals through out the day is better than 3 meals.
Can I just say that even though I am heavier than what I started at the beginning of this journey, I feel better than I did at the beginning of the month.

Day 23
Weight: 198.8 lbs
Liver Cleanse (2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 drop lemon oil, 1 drop peppermint oil)
Workout: Plyo
Breakfast: 1 pancake with butter and syrup
Snack: Top crust of Julies PB&J
Lunch: Reliv Shake
Snack: Fudge Oreos dipped in peanut butter (YUM!)
Dinner: Potato broccoli soup in a bread bowl
Liver Cleanse
I LOVE FOOD!!! I have been having to convience myself not to eat certain foods, and even to just get up and exercise.
I am not saying I am saying no to everything, I mean I did have Oreo's yesterday. I however am having to convience myself to take my Reliv Shake for lunch instead of eating leftovers, or a yummy sourdough turkey avacodo grilled cheese sandwich!
This I feel is where most of us struggle! Knowing what is healthy and what is not or what is better to eat than something else or even to get up and exercise or not. Most people fail at life because of emotional/mental struggles. I know I have failed at previous weight loss because I mentally wasn't prepared. I know even right now I have to battle with exercising every morning. It is a constant internal battle that I think, well I can just tell my husband I worked out, but really if I did that for too long then he would notice nothing is changing.
What is stronger? My sore muscles crying no more or my desire? What do I want more? What am I willing to give? It is a constant struggle.

EXERCISE AND WEIGHTLOSS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK MINDED!
I will not be weak minded, I can conquer my internal battle and I can conquer my weight!!!

Where Have I Been?
Weight: 199.2
Liver Cleanse
Workout: Chest and Back
Breakfast: 2/3 c oatmeal, 1 tbsp Flax seed, 1 tsp brown sugar
Snack:
Lunch: Reliv Shake
Snack: 4 Oreo cookies
Dinner: Alfredo Chicken, and bread
Where have I been for two weeks? Well....It wasn't anywhere fun! I pulled a muscle in my lower abs sneezing 2 weeks ago. It was very painful, and everytime I moved in the wrong way or sneezed or cough it was just a sharp pain. By the end of the week I was feeling that I could start exercising again with out pain. However, last week I started my period. Now being on your period, for me, doesn't stop me from exercising. The thing was that my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 months now and I was a week late. So I was very very hopeful that I was. I would still have worked out even if I was pregnant, but I was depressed for a whole week because my red friend dashed my hopes of pregnancy. I am still somewhat getting over the fact that I am not pregnant, but I am trying to focus on other things.
For starters I am focusing on trying to lose 5 lbs a month. I am trying to lose 25 lbs by the end of May. Which I can do!! And I have girls camp in June, so I will be focusing on my calling at church. Then to top it off I will hopefully be getting a job here soon so my workout time may be changing!

Weight: 198.2
Workout:
Breakfast: 2 slices of toast with butter and strawberry jam
Snack:
Lunch: Grilled chicken sandwich with munster cheese (Chicken was canned chicken with mayo)
Snack:
Dinner: Chicken Stir Fry, Rice, Lo Mein, 3 chocolate chip cookies
I woke up to workout and I could not do it. I really did something to my abdominals, and not the I'm sore from working out, but the sharp pain when I sneeze, cough, push down to do a push up, roll over in bed to get comfortable or bend backwards. I am going to give it a couple of days. So I have decided that I am going to start doing the liver cleanse. It is a drop of peppermint oil, a drop of lemon oil mixed in 2 tbsps of lemon juice. I am going to be taking it twice a day, once in the morning and then once in the evening. When taking it you are suppose to take it on an empty stomach and you are suppose to wait 2 hours before you eat, so at night I will take it before I go to bed, and in the morning I will take it when I first wake up.
Can I just say that I am so happy that I am still losing some weight even though I have not been eating the greatest. A few ounces a day equals a few pounds in a couple of weeks. Progress is progress!!

Tomorrow
Weight: 199.0
Workout:
Breakfast:
Snack: Grits and Eggs
Lunch:
Snack: Cheese ball (I had to finish it off)
Dinner: Taco salad, with lots of avocado, lettuce, and sprouts ( I have been working on growing my sprouts for the last couple of days)
I woke up late and the kids are all up, so I didn't get my exercise in today. And on top of it, I had this amazingly painful sneeze last night that feels like it pulled an ab muscle or ligament.
If you read the previous post you will notice that I need to wake up earlier! HA. I will be returning to my exercise tomorrow.
Overall today was a set back for me. I didn't eat well, I didn't exercise and I need to get back on the horse.

I was suppose to post this after every dinner, but..... we can see that didn't happen.
My Mother in law came into town Thursday night and I am not going to blame her for my lack of exercise, even though I think it would be a great excuse. I woke up late on Friday morning and I had to be at the Church at 8:30 to help sew and mend the missionaries pants, skirts (for the sister missionaries), shirts, ties, and whatever else they needed. They were having a zone conference and so there was plenty of work to be done. I truly felt like a member of the Relief Society. After lunch I was going to come home and do my workout during the kids nap, but instead went and played golf with James and Mom because she had paid for 3 people. We didn't get home until 5:20 and then I had to make pizza, and after that we watched a movie.
Saturday I woke up late again. Can you tell there is a pattern happening? James had to go clean the Church with the other Elders and after he came home Amy and I had to head to clean the toys in the nursery room.
Sunday is a rest day. It says you may stretch or rest. I will not be doing any sort of physical workouts on Sunday although I may do some spiritual workouts. I truly believe God wants that day to be a day of rest. It is a day to focus on Him.
It was Fast Sunday for our Ward.
“Most of us fast in conjunction with our membership in the Church and its law of the fast. Generally speaking, there are three purposes for such a fast. First is to increase humility and spirituality of the individual fasting. Second is to provide assistance to the needy by contributing fast offerings equivalent to the value of the food which has not been consumed. Third, physical benefits may be derived personally” (Russell M. Nelson, “I Have a Question,” Ensign, Apr. 1976, p. 32).
