Death in My Family

I haven't been eating right or exercising this past week. On Monday , my family recieved news that my aunt passed away. She was only 39 years old. So my mind and body hasn't been in the mood for exercising. I'm supposed to be on week of the biggest loser bootcamp , but I think that I will do LEVEL 2 starting Sunday. Death has a way of changing one's perspective on life. I've been through alot of moods lately. Then on top of that , and in the normal stress of life and you can see why this week hasn't been good. I'd be surprised if the scale needle hasn't moved up a few notches.! Please pray for my uncle and the two kids who lose their mother! I couldn't imagine lossing my mother sooooo young. Pray that they began to heal and not question God.





Thank you ,

If you're trying to lose weight, the internet has alot of free tools that you can benefit from. Sparkpeople reminds me of weight watchers without the points and hefty fee. The site offers many tools- nutrition trackers, weight loss trackers, but most importantly it provides you with the support of millions of people who wants the same goals as you. Please search for me and add me. My username is byebyefatty fat. It's kind of an ode to a nickname I used to have when I was little. MY nickname was Nattie which my family decided to rhyme with various names - pattie ..etc.ectc. So bye bye fatty fat is my way of saying bye to the person that i've become my all my life. I'm a new person and not that awkard ,little girl who used to shy beind her weight. Anyways, please check out sparkpeople. They have alot of articles that I will like to import into this blog.

Sparkpeople's nutrition tracker has been a godsend. This is my second day on the website , but I realized that I am eating calories I don't need. I really wanted to eat only 1200 calories a day , but according to Sparkpeople I 've been eating about 1500-2000 calories a day ! Craziness ! I can see now why the scale is moving slowly. I need to cut calories . For instance, today i've already eaten about 1400 calories with my maximum daily goal being 1500. Plus, the bad thing is that I've had a peice of chicken since then , and I have a party tonight. The party that i'm attending is for one of my friends who is arabian descent . So I cannot easily determine what I will and will not eat since the food will be cultural.

Try it out !!! Please !!!

I'm offf to exercise since it's such a pretty day outside !!!

Today's Menu

Hello Everyone !

I just wanted to share a random eating menu from my lifestyle. What I eat really depends on my moods. I 'm discovering that I'm having trouble drinking my water intake. I believe it's because the weather was 18 DEGREES this morning. When I'm cold , I really don't like to drink cold beverages. I don't like drinking lukewarm water. I know that i'm probably not eating enough calories , but I haven't been hungry lately and I'm low on cash this month so we'll see how this goes.

Breakfast - l serving of liquid egg whites and 1 large grapefruit.

snack - 1 serving of cheese cubes and 1 boiled egg

lunch - 1 serving of steamed brussel sprouts and a teriyaki tuna on 2 cups of romaine lettuce with 1 tbp. of kidney beans , sugar free jello

snack - 1 cup of frozen grapes ( this tastes like sherbet..or it make me think i'm eating ice cream)

dinner - a small salad.

water intake - I hope to drink about 100 ounces a day. We'll see what happens.

February Weighin- I lost 17 pounds !

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Happy - Yep, that right. About 30-40 Os worth of happiness ! I have been feeling well lately so I really wasn't excited about my weighin around the first of February ! Honestly, I was scared that the scale was going to tell me I have failed. Anyways, this morning workout consisted of waking 3.2 miles and the biggest loser boot camp dvd. I really love the new exercise dvd. I have a phobia about weight lifting in the gym - especially with other people around. So the next best thing for me to do is workout in my home. This morning for breakfast I had a grapefruit and 2 servings of liquid egg whites. My digital sclae is NOt my friend , but for some reason this morning we seemed to be on the same terms. I got on the scale and it said I loss 17 pounds !!!!!! I weigh 248. something. But I weight 248 !!!!! I'm soo happy ! I know that I have to keep doing what i'm doing and it'll all workout in the end !!!



YAYYYY MEEE !
