day one went great, 3 shakes and a plain salad with tuna and a little bit of dressing.. about 750 calories, and lots of water.  I wouldn't  let the negative feelings take over, yea!

 

Okay here I am at the first day again.  I'm not going to put weight loss in as much as I am going to put in feelings along the way.

I'm only at the beginning of the day and I already feel deprived just thinking of not having the foods I love.  It feels like there will be no reward for anything I get accomplished during the day, and there is this feeling of sadness just under the surface.  A bit of anger too, as I feel angry that I have to do this and cant enjoy what I usually enjoy.  I know it will be worth it.. supposedly... but right now, at the beginning of another long journey of weight loss, it just doesn't feel like it.  I feel like a failure and also feel angry that I let myself get this far out of control body-wise.   I guess I feel like my body doesn't like me to do this to me, but then I guess my body feels like I don't like it, to let myself get this way too.

I'm going to take it a step at a time, and yet if I'm already feeling like it will be hard work... :;sigh::  I guess I'm not in the rigth mindset yet.  I'm going to persevere, I just feel deprived already.  I can't wait until the emotional high kicks in from doing cambridge, as I know it eventually does.

 

I just wrote a post and it didn't work.. testing, testing...

Well it's sure been a while since I've been in here, but it's time to be back on Cambridge again, so here I am!  I went back up to 277, so that's my starting weight today.

I want to be on it a long time, but of course will take it day by day.  I thought journaling in here about my feelings and such would help me along the way.

I'm excited and nervous, and nervous because I feel I may want to eat so much that I will get depressed.  But I know deep-down that food doesn't really make me happy.  I'll take it a step at a time.

 

Here it has been a long time again!  I'm down to 256, woo hoo!  That's 37 pounds.  As soon as I lose 40, I"m taking another pic for my web site.

I have added motivation now, as I won a trip for two to Cancun, Mexico, and we're going the end of February.  I want to have lost a lot more before then.   I can't wait!!!

My new book, Ready, Click, Win! is out now, and can be ordered through me or Amazon.com or booklocker.com (my publisher).   It's very exciting and I have lots of people who've bought it already.  I think it will be a best seller soon!  ha

OH well, I guess that's enough for today.  Life is good! 

Hey all,

Well I had a bowl of popcorn last night, the light stuff, so it was only 100 calories.  I was feeling dizzy earlier in the day, which was the beginning of a pretty good migraine, and I realized having only the shakes makes me a bit shaky.   I think the amount of fake sugar or whatever (ha) that is in them is too much when I just do the shakes.  I need to either do the soups or oats, or add a small meal item or whatever...

I heard from someone yesterday that there are these free veggies you can have, up to 80 calories a da of them!  I'm already doing the fresh mushrooms, but I can add celery, cabbage, radishes and cucumbers too (there are more, but these are the ones I like).  I'm going to get some tomorrow!

Kevin was grilling out last night so I also had him grill me some portabello mushrooms.  They were great!  He loved them too and had one too.  

I made the chocolate muffins and the chicken muffins yesterday to try and oh my god the chocolate ones are amazing!!!!  the chicken ones are okay, and i think they'd be good dunked in the cambridge soup, but are kinda blah on their own.  The chocolate ones though taste like brownies!!!  ha  I'm tellin ya!!!  I"m definitely going to do those again.

Anyway, even after all of that, I lost a pound, yea!!!  I'm into the 70's!    Boooogie down!  haha

It was a good day again.  I lost another pound, so that's 13, yea!  Today I took it easy and just had three shakes, as I had a busy day.  My son and i went to a movie tonight (Blades of Glory, it was funny).  I had a chocolate shake for lunch and added a little bit of cocoa powder to it and it was sooo chocolately and good!  Feeling strong, feeling good.  Have actually a bit TOO much energy tonight!  ha  I think I need soup or oats or something every day to keep me from getting too manic  haha  I'm afraid I may not sleep tonight if I keep this up.. I'm a bit over-awake  haha  if that makes any sense.

Tomorrow I should get my distributor kit in the mail, yipee!  that will be fun to get into and read all about.

It's been raining all day which is so great (I love rain and we really needed it too!)  So that was/is awesome (I can still hear it pattering away out there).

My publisher asked me to write a magazine article on affirmations too, so that was fun to hear.  I"ll start on it tonight and work on it more tomorrow.  Overall, had a good day!

Whoops, it's a bit late in the day to post this.. but I just finished Day 8 and am about to head to bed.  I officially finished my first week yesterday and lost 12 pounds overall for the first week, which is a great start!

I tried the oat cookies today and they're okay.  Nothing special.  Tomorrow I want to try the oat chicken muffins and also try the pudding.  I hope they're good!

Oh, and I signed up to be a distributor yesterday and get my materials on Friday, yea!  I'll put the information in here once I get going on it, in case anyone wants to order any Cambrdige through me.

So far I"m lovin it!  Soooo close to getting into the 270's I can't wait!

Well I maintained again today, which is cool.  I'm still at a 10 pound loss in 6 days, which is awesome.  Feeling good, except I have allergies or something, as I was sneezing like crazy yesterday and then again this morning.  I had to take an antihistimine.  Today is the day of my big spa visit with my daughter, woo hoo!  We're looking forward to it.

Yesterday I had the caramel soda with vanilla cambridge for breakfast, potato, mushroom and chicken soup for lunch, and oat muffins for dinner, with SF jello.

I tried the Oat muffins yesterday and they're good.. well, good for not eating anything haha  I can't wait to make the chicken soup muffins, but I'll wait until these are done so I don't waste any.  I also had 1/2 mushroom and 1/2 potato soup and oh my gosh that's soooooooo good, that's my new favorite soup combination!  ha   Did well on Day 5 and lost another pound.  I'm on Day 6 now and doing great.

I think I'm going to become a distributor so I can get mine at wholesale.  If anyone wants to buy some from me once I'm a distributor, I'd love to be your distributor! 

Love and a good day to all!!!
