჻ೋ჻჻ೋ჻ RYC: Isn't he such a cutie?! My kiddo picked his name because of his eye color. We spent like an hour with me suggesting names before she picked that one haha. We took it super slow and they get along well now. :^) They still occasionally hiss but they can be out in the apartment together at the same time just fine. I wanted to make sure it would work so I did lots of research on how to introduce them!
჻ೋ჻჻ೋ჻ Okay here's a few, they may not be free but some are cheap and some you can borrow on a Kindle for free and write out the recipes you like. Some say for weight loss but you'd be using them as a meal since you aren't eating a 3rd meal.
Oh I agree completely. Most scary movies don't scare me but if you throw in possession or demons, I'm almost always getting chills and stuff. Like the Exorcism of Emily Rose. Gave me goosebumps. I believe that stuff can happen, so when you see it in a scary movie it makes it do much more scary to me.
I think I saw the first and third Paranormal (don't ask me how I skipped the second and went to the third lol). But I can barely sit still through those movies. Paranormal movies are the ones that scare me the most. Anything involving possession or demons are the scariest in my opinion because I don't know if it's real. :/
Kevin doesn't do scary movies so I either have to see them with someone else or wait until they come out on DVD. What did you think of the paranormal activity movies? I haven't see any of those either.
That all sounds amazing! Thank you I made my first smoothie this morning and put a banana, raspberries, and a few apples in it with some nonfat milk. It was pretty good but I think I put too many raspberries lol. Recipes would be great!
჻ೋ჻჻ೋ჻ Glad to offer some tips :^) There are some yummy cold soups you could try. Look for soups with beans of some sort, they are good for protein. So are nuts & nut butters. I like almond butter on rice cakes for a snack. I love making smoothies! I have a whey protein powder I use and an egg white protein powder too. I add fresh & frozen fruits and even some veggies. Ground flax seed is good to add for omega 3's. Chai seeds are great for you too if you throw some in. I add a couple tablespoons of coconut oil too for a healthy good fat, plus it's so good for your body. Kindle often has free smoothie recipe books. If I see them I'll leave the link in a comment for you. :^)
Don't feel lazy! One job is usually enough! Unfortunately I have just always had to manage it with another job or school or something. But if I had the chance to go to school full time and just focus on that, I totally would.
Aweee thank you very much I'm glad I can cause some motivation Just be healthier about it than I am Haha. And I know what you mean! At my office job, they have breakfast for us every day and it's so hard to avoid it! They also buy cakes for people's birthdays and have a big feast for Thanksgiving...ugh it's sooo hard! Haha.
I supposed I could try soup for dinner, I never thought of that. But it's been so hot here the last thing I want is soup! And I eat salads usually for lunch so definitely not salad again for dinner lol. Thanks for the tips! I snack here and there more in the morning (fruits, veggies, etc.), have a salad or frozen healthy meal for lunch, and then go to the gym after work and when I get home all I used to eat was a few pieces of fruit. I definitely need to add a light dinner so I'm not so hungry
And I REALLY have to add more protein to my diet. I do not get enough! Everybody always tells me that. I was thinking of starting to make smoothies at home since I always have so much fruit in the house and getting some protein powder to put in there.
Thanks girly Getting a tutor for your daughter sounds awesome, I wish I had one when I was taking math in middle school/high school! I hate it! Lol.
Ugh girl I know what you mean, after taxes are taken out it really doesn't feel like much of a raise lol. I hated Evil Dead! I don't know I'm not really into that stupid-scary type of movies, I thought You're Next was going to be more of a thriller but nahhh. I really enjoyed The Conjuring and I'm excited for Insidious 2! I didn't watch Mama.
Well you and Kevin should go see Insidious 2 and Prisoners
I know what you mean about the support. But I guess it's hard for men to feel the same. It's sweet that he did say he needs to be more supportive. Men want to eat what they want when they want it. haha
That's good about the raise...even if its still lower than what you deserve....could be worse. That's great about the snacks. I hope it helps you get the energy you need to get ALL that done...wow...I feel incredibly lazy...lol. Working one job is like 'omg I can't take it' ...lol. And you have two and soo much other stuff. Good luck with the school tho. I hope it works out. I have to admit I'm getting motivated to do something about my weight again because of you...You look simply amazing! That's sweet of your guy to be considerate...I hate when I'm on a diet..suddenly everyone is offering me food or eating all this fatty stuff if front of me (that I love...lol)...and I'm like 'really...?...you're gonna eat all that in front of me?...I hate chu all...'...lol.
჻ೋ჻჻ೋ჻ I worked at a daycare years ago and the director was a Witch so she only gave me a .35 cent raise!! Some places just suck at paying people what they should because they are super cheap.
I don't like math either. :^( I'm going to get a tutor for my kiddo as she gets higher in math because I get mad when it frustrates me or a get it wrong. I know math is necessary but man it can be a pain.
On Monday I went 8 hours during the day without eating. I totally forgot and we were super busy. When I finally remembered I hadn't eaten, it was because I was close to passing out. Our bodies definitely need us to eat. Remembering to eat or even doing snacks when you are busy helps a lot. I am trying to keep my eating healthy so I do a small to medium breakfast, a big and filling lunch, and a light dinner. This way I'm not packing in food right before bed that I can't burn off. I'm not always hungry in the a.m. but I am at lunch. I've been doing soup for dinner and it's working well. Maybe that's something you could try or modify to fit your needs? Even a small thing of soup for dinner is better than nothing and you can keep the calories down. Nuts and protein bars are good too if you can't eat a full meal. Trailmix too. I hope you can find something that works well for you. :^)
Yay for a raise! A dollar is better than nothing. Woohoo! I got a raise recently too. It's always nice, just doesn't seem like much after taxes are taken out!! lol
I saw Evil Dead, it wasn't terrible. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. I liked it, but its a movie I wouldn't watch again. It was predictable, it's like you knew exactly what was coming which I didn't like. Surprise me! I got MaMa from redbox the other day and that movie wasn't scary at all. I like scary movies that are SCARY!! Not movies they make seen scary but aren't in the slightest. I've seen the first insidious. That was good. I have been to the movies in a long time! Like over two months. That's unusual for me. Kevin and I go to the movies a lot!
I really hope the toning helps because I've heard a lot about people having to get tummy tucks/laser treatments for the excess skin when they lose so much weight. But I've also heard people tell me if you really work hard at toning you won't have to. Meh.
Thank you for the nice words I'm sure you look amazing though! AND YES I really do need to ditch the scale lol you sound exactly like me. If I wake up and I weigh the same or a little more I get so mad at myself. It's totally unrealistic and stupid! Blah!
Wow your doing A LOT...Congrats on the client!..Trust me you don't need to lose anymore weight. You look great. I wish I was physically where you are at (weightwise) right now...If you really need to do the cardio...just eat more and try maintaining the weight. The skin thing might not go anywhere...its excess skin and it happens when people have been over weight for awhile and lose a lot fast...I read that the options are tummy tucks or laser skin tightening treatments...but idk....some say it'll get better with time. Toning will help a lot though. Muscle does weigh more than fat tho....you need to ditch the scale and just weigh yourself at a place you can go to. The scale is an addiction...I've had it...lol...when I was losing weight...I'd weigh every moment of the day...and if I woke up weighing the same or a lil more...it was a depressing moment....and being depressed just makes weightloss and progress harder...Let your clothing and the people around you be your indicators of success. . Waay better than a number...is compliments.... Wow you really are a wonder woman. You have soo much you're doing....you need NEED to eat more....The weightloss might still happen...and if it doesn't...you'll maintain.....and you still look great! I'm jealous...
AWWWW! I know what you MEANNN! I HATE gaining weight so on EVERY school day, I skip breakfeast abd don't eat lunch, I STILL haven't lose weight!!!!
I try, I REALLY try to eat healthy, but my funking mom is ALWAYS buying junk food! Do you know how hard it is NOT to eat like three pieces of a pizza if it's sitting RIGHT THERE!!!!
But, I know I skip meals, but for you, you are working TWO jobs a day, you do need to eat!!! Take more snacks, an apples, some oranges, and you'll be fine!!! Good luck in life!!
