I've been eating steak all weekend long. lol We bought these HUGE steaks and BBQ'd them. They didn't turn out how I like them, but they're still very good.
I haven't weighed myself in days. I know, that's bad, but I'm sick of weighing on the roller coaster. I'm going to weigh myself next Friday and see if I go down. If I don't then I might just wait until November 1st and see what happens. I get so angry if I get two pounds of water sticking around and it makes me look like I haven't lost and you know I have.
I know I'll lose if I just keep doing what I'm doing. I want to step on the scale in a month and be shocked at how much I lost. haha If it could be that easy, right?

255 tody NOT cool
I'm annoyed, but I'm not going to give up. I can't believe I am at 255 again. I was 255 a week ago. I THOUGHT I was going down.
I don't know if it was the lack of calories yesterday or the croutons in that stupid McDonald's salad. I'm going to refrain from eating those things and see what happens.
Just annoyed. I will lose, I don't care what plateau I hit and I will continue eating like this forever.
Oh yeah, and today I'm going to eat as much protein and fat that I can possibly handle. Although, yesterday the only reason why I didn't eat more than 1200 calories is because I just wasn't hungry.

Oh that was so much food
I'm stuffed. I only ate like 900 calories today and I cannot fit another piece of food in my mouth. I had an avocado around noon because I just wasn't hungry at breakfast time and then 3 eggs with cheese scrambled in butter and then a McDonald's grilled chicken salad with ceasar dressing for dinner. I cannot eat one more bite.
I drank some coffee and iced tea as well, but I am uncomfortably full. I also did leg lifts - 100 of them. I heard each leg lift was a 2 calorie burn. It did start to feel like it at the end, but for awhile I was thinking 'I can't possibly be burning 100 calories.'
I feel like just lying down and digesting my food now. Bla.

Still 253 but now it's 253.0 LOL
I think it was 253.8 then yesterday 253.4 and now today it's 253.0. I wasn't recording the decimal, but when you're getting desperate to see the results the dots really start to matter.
I wasn't really hungry at all when I woke up. I've been up since 7:30 and have had only two cups of coffee for breakfast. I just wasn't hungry. Then, just now I decided I needed some lunch so I had an avocado with salt and pepper. I'm now stuffed. I can't even imagine putting anything else in me!
I'm hoping the carb count in the avocado isn't a bad thing. It's 14 g of carbs, but 11 of those grams are fiber supposedly indigestible so I'm getting 3g's of carbs in reality. That is the theory anyway. It sure is filling though. I don't see how anyone can eat them with anything else. Both the fat and fiber are incredible.
I wonder what other fruits and veggies have the same kind of content? I'd be happy just to eat those all the time, well, with a few steaks thrown in ;)

What I ate on 10/14/2010
Just the same thing everyday. LOL It's mostly because we're really broke. Yeah, you heard me say it before. The cheapest thing to make are eggs. The kids get pasta and those other fun things you get to eat when your metabolism works ok. I had scrambled eggs with cheese in the morning and then an omelet with cheese and fresh rosemary from my garden. If I remember correctly I might have added a jalapeno and fresh basil to the scrambled eggs or maybe that was yesterday?
I also had a McDonald's Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad for dinner. Yes, I was crazy and ate the croutons. I don't know if the weight chart I got the calories off of had the croutons. Of course, I'm full yet I'm hungry now. It's one of those stupid carb things.

Ugh Not Hungry but the Fidgety Boredom Hunger Starts
I haven't really been hungry all day. I had scrambled eggs for breakfast and an omelet for lunch. I usually get a snack in between lunch and dinner, but I didn't. Now I'm bored and don't feel like eating but I want to. Does that make sense? I want to graze the kitchen. I know nothing will be in there. I know it's stress. My youngest has been bratty all day and here I am wanting to eat because of it.
Relax, calm. I need to calm.
Breathe.
Wait until you're hungry. Maybe I'm thirsty. I don't feel like it, but somewhere I read that some people think they're hungry when they're thirsty. Hmmm....

Still Stuck at 253 But I'm Not Giving Up!
I'm still stuck at 253 but I'm not giving up this time. I know it works. Maybe I just hit a plateau or I need to move my nutrients around. I don't know. Today I'm going to eliminate the salsa although I'm sure the tablespoon really didn't matter.
These are my results from yesterday:
I know, many of you low fat people will say "that's too much fat" when I know for a fact it is not. You will see in the coming weeks that I will be losing weight eating this much fat even though it might take a little bit longer than I expected.
I did enjoy an omelet this morning with a jalapeno pepper and basil straight from my mini garden. Mmmm it was delicious. While grabbing a pepper from the bush I also noticed that my orange tree had a little mini green orange on it. Awww, it was so cute! It's getting cold now though so I'm sure the growth on that poor thing will be stunted. Oh well. next year ;) Can you actually get nice, juicy oranges from a potted orange tree?

Still at 253
I am still at 253 pounds. That's okay, it's to be expected. I would love to do a pound a day, but I'm not willing to go down to 500 calories per day to do it.
Yesterday:
weight: 253
weight change: 0
calories: 1154
fat: 77g/62%
protein: 102g/38%
carb: 2g/1%
I would have had more carbs, but I'm pretty low on cash and I'm eating whatever is left in the freezer at the moment. I think I need to get my protein down to 20% and my carbs up to 20% and see what happens. When the ratio was closer I lost a pound. Then again, it could have been a coincidence LOL
The day before the drop I ate 200 calories more. 101 grams of fat (66%), 107 grams of protein (32%), and 7 carbs (2%). The main difference was more fat. The fat came from hamburger, eggs, chicken, and olive oil (percentages in order of highest to lowest.)
Since I had a small deposit yesterday and still have $13.00 even after the bounced check (total accident) I am going to buy lots of eggs, butter, cream, and cheese from the store. Actually, that is a little more than what I have. I can probably just get eggs (2 for 1 at Safeway) and butter. Ugh. Can we just get rid of the Democrats again so my business will go up? Seriously!
Of course, Nancy Pelosi (Pinklosi) would probably want to tax on the dairy because she would think they're bad for you. Bite me. Damn fascist.
Anyway, not time to get political here. The added stress of the Democrat screw ups and their failed policies which made my business drop (yes people, it's been 2 years since Bush was gone and even longer since the Democrats took over congress) added 10 pounds to my weight gain this year so I'm not happy. I'm making like $50.00 a day on average now and that's not even enough to pay my house bill. So pissed. And since I think getting food from the government is WRONG I'd rather eat beans and rice than ever do that again. (yes, I did once and it gave me such horrible depression living off of other people's taxes like that. it literally made me sick.)

Still at 255.
Not a big deal. I'm okay with it. I can't remember what I ate yesterday. lol. I'd just copy and paste what I ate if FitDay wasn't stupid and didn't show the wrong date all the time.
I took a small walk with the dog last night. It was only for a few minutes. I don't own any tennis shoes nor can I afford any right now. We're also running low on food. I refuse to get food stamps because I don't believe in the government pampering my ass. I tried that once and all it did was depress me so here I am. Maybe I'll have to lose weight and starve anyway hahaha.
Seriously though, the kids can bulk up on rice, beans, and meat. That's cheap and good for them while they're growing I guess (so they say) and I'll just eat the meat. More for them and less for me.
I also had a tomato and jalapeno pepper from my garden today. Mmmmm good! I'll put the list up later.

Pictures...
Ok as promised I'm putting up pictures. I just fuzzied out my face because of privacy reasons :)
I Lost 3 More Pounds
I'm now at 255. I'm stoked. I've been sitting here working this morning. Yeah, I'm a little hungry and I'm going to go eat, but I wanted to put this in quickly but I keep on getting side tracked.
I stepped on that scale thinking that I might have eaten too much yesterday and I ended up losing 3 pounds. I hope it keeps going down and I can maintain the willpower. I know it always won't be a jump like that, but it does feel good.

266 last week, 258 today
I'm starting this blog a little bit after I started a different way of life. I've spent most of my life being overweight in some form or another. I'm busty, beautiful, and sick of being fat. I'm 5'2", 51" bust (probably a DD cup, I don't know), 51" hips, and
I know for a fact that Atkins helps me lose weight, but unlike others I stay hungrier on Atkins and on low fat diets. I think I'm going to up my fats and lower my proteins a bit. I've heard that works.
Oh, and once I figure out how to manage my fitday I'm going to put that up here too.
