I had 1 cup warm water with lemon juice this morning and then had a cup of green tea with my breakfast of 2 eggs and wheat toast. I am almost done with my water jug and have a total of 4 cups of green tea. I have yet to work out but am having friends over. I will have to make up for it tomorrow. I had a ham sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce and mustard for lunch and dinner I had a can of Healthy Choice soup. I cleaned today and started to decorate for Christmas. I don't have many decorations yet! Until tomorrow.

I had green tea with lemon first thing this morning and then for breakfast I had 2 eggs and 2 slices of wheat toast. I am out of coffee but that's ok. I have been getting too dependant on it again. For lunch I had a can of healthy choice soup over toast. I had baked sweet potato fries for dinner and am almost done with my water jug. Also I am on my 4th cup of green tea. I ended up having 7 cups of green tea yesterday! I also did another great basement workout last night. I did a lot of abdomen work. I am feeling it. It hurts when I cough so I guess that's a good sign, lol. I still have yet to work out today but I do plan to before bed. I spent most of the day cleaning out my closet; literally ha-ha. I went through ALL of my clothes and have 3 huge bins full of stuff to get rid of/throw away because it's too worn out. It's a good feeling. I don't want any of that stuff hanging around here anymore. I don't ever want to grow back into them. I have a lot of nice 3XL & 4XL clothes to give away for free. If you would be interested and know my phone number; text me or you can e-mail me at marilynziebell@hotmail.com I weighed myself this morning and have lost 1 pound since yesterday! I am now 73 pounds down. Slowly but surely I am getting myself back on track! <-- I have been going with the natural look lately. No make-up or hair product. I sure can get ready faster! Before I started my journey I would get pimples a couple times every month but since I have been drinking at least 75 ounces of water a day I have yet to be burdened with one. I know a lot of people think that the water/green tea thing are just myths but hey, what would it hurt to just give it a try? Water and green tea have been a part of my EVERY DAY routine since I have started to lose weight and I have lost 73 pounds so far. I see myself drinking green tea until the day I die! Green tea is SO good for you in so many ways. My face has cleared up so much compared to what it was before. Every time I would get flustered, shower or not wear concealer I would have red blemishes. I also had little red bumps on my upper arms. I think that's why I have always been so self conscious about my arms but they have been going away too. If you treat your body right it will love you back! My theory is: In order for things to go right; you must come clean. Last night I got a grip and went down in the basement to work out. I slapped myself across the face yet for a second time throughout my weight-loss journey. I must admit I have fallen off the bandwagon. After gaining 4 pounds since I had lost 80 I just got deeper and deeper into the I don't care attitude. I am embarrassed. I have not been doing things the way I should be and have been not caring about my routine as much as I used to. I have had more of a leniency towards foods whether they were in my daily calorie quota or not but I found myself back in my old ways sitting on the couch until Michael got home from work. I have been doing what I have been blogging about but not with as much enthusiasm/motivation that I had before. Also there were a few times I cheated with junk food snacking late at night that I have not written about. Yesterday I seriously re-evaluated my whole situation and it is best for me to keep moving forward but I need to be gung ho about it again. I have to be hard on myself or I will get no where. To seal the deal with everything, I have not weighed myself since I saw that I had gained 4 pounds. Not the smartest move I have made for I stepped on the scale this morning for it to only tell me that since I have lost 80 pounds I have now gained 8 pounds. It's no longer a 4 pound gain but an 8 pound gain. I now weigh 266 pounds and am back to being only 72 pounds down. Talk about going backwards. Part of me was hoping that the little bit that I did do would have knocked that 4 pound gain out of the park in the beginning but I guess not. I feel like things have spiraled out of control and in order for things to go right; I must come clean. I have to admit I was not going to say anything about the 8 pound gain but when it comes down to it I needed to for I would have tucked it away and neve come face to face with the fact that I am gaining and I need to exercise every day for 30 minutes, eat a healthy breakfast, drink green tea, eat a healthy lunch/dinner and never go over my calorie intake until I am back to having lost 80 pounds. No more cheats, no more talking myself into it being ok. I had a great work out in the basement last night and really pushed myself. Self motivation is all I needed because I sure can't accomplish anything if i'm in la-la land. Last night was my first step. Writing this was my second. My 3rd is to repeat those 2 EVERY DAY. I had green tea with fresh lemon this morning with oatmeal. I don't know if I ever mentioned it before but the oatmeal I eat has flax seed in it. I am having a cup of coffee before I make my second cup of green tea. I plan to have AT LEAST 5 cups. I have not started on my water jug yet but it will be gone by sun down. My Mom is coming over for lunch and she is picking up a low fat sub on flat bread for us to split. Same sub I was telling you guys about the other day. There are only 2 options of subs I can get from Subway that are in my calories and they are the veggie sub or the black forest ham. I would do so great on my diet if I could just have subway everyday. I eat more green veggies on a sub from there than if I were to buy my own and eat them. I am not sure what I will do for dinner yet. I also plan to do another basement workout today and I am hoping to do Richard Simmons on top of it. We will see where the day takes me. <-- Breakfast of champions lol! I had a cup of coffee first thing this morning with 2 eggs and 2 slices of wheat toast. I haven't had any green tea and am almost done with my water jug. I have been cleaning ALL day! I haven't worked out but i'd say what I did today is enough, ha. I had the music cranked and I got a roll. I scrubbed the floors on my hands and knees, windows, dishes, toilet, vacuumed; the works! I have been going since breakfast and just stopped about an hour ago. I moved a new chair & ottoman over yesterday that my Mom gave me so I have been trying to re-arrange things to make it fit in ha-ha. My house smells great and is super cozy now. I missed lunch and I have dinner in the oven right now. I am having 2 pork loin fillets with baked sweet potato fries. I can't wait until it's done, I am starving! I didn't work out yesterday but I have started out this week on a good foot. I woke up and had green tea with fresh lemon juice. I had oatmeal for breakfast and then afterwards I had a cup of coffee. I walked over to my Moms and I had lunch with her. We split a low fat Subway sub on flat bread. I get a bunch of veggies on mine with black forest ham, pepper jack cheese and mustard. A 6 inch of that is about 250 calories. I have it all figured out; lol. I am still working on my water jug and I am not sure what I will have for dinner. I thought i'd go for a walk today because there is no snow anymore due to the moisture and it probably wont be 50 degrees out again anytime soon. I walked my dog Chewie but my Mom had his harness and leash so I had to carry him the whole way. He thought he was king kahuna!
I have been looking for a part time job. If anyone knows of any openings in my area please let me know! I had green tea with a half of a lemon this morning. My Mom got me a bunch of lemons yesterday so I am set with fresh lemons for a while. I went grocery shopping today and wanted to get more soup but they were all out of the 2 kinds that I like most! I know there were a bunch left after I bought mine yesterday. I just knew I should have gotten the rest! lol - I ended up getting some pork loin, a head of lettuce, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, eggs, bread and some jam for my toast in the morning. I had a late breakfast/lunch of healthy choice soup with saltine crackers and for dinner I had a baked pork loin fillet with baked sweet potato fries. I had a snack of peanut butter and celery a little bit ago. I am almost done with my water jug and have yet to work out. I still have plans to though! I am going to do a basement workout tonight before bed. I take back before when I said I wasn't into any winter activities. I forgot that I love to go ice skating! I have to see if I still have my pair of hockey skates and make it a regular thing this winter to go to open skating if they still have it. I need to get my momentum going and just roll into next week with a kick butt attitude!!!!!!
