DAY 24 - BACK ON THE WAGON!

Well today we are back to our healthy ways. I am so glad that we are. Last night we felt awful. I had to take tums again for the digestion issue I was having. To think I have not had any issues for the last 3 weeks. Ricky has to take alka-seltzer because he was having issues as well. We truly have realized that it's not worth eating such foods. So now we are back to eating right and feel better already. Thankfully it looks like we only gained a pound from this ordeal, but that's probably because we spent a lot of time on the toilet flushing all that stuff out. LOL

So below is what we've had to eat for today.

BREAKFAST: (SS) Chocolate Shake and SilhouetteStik weightloss drink

SNACK: (SS) Soup and QuikStik Energy Drink

LUNCH: (SS) Bars and tea

DINNER: Tilapia and 2 cups of veggies and tea.

SNACK: Rick had chili lime puffs and I had the chocolate puffs. Also had tea.

DAY 21, 22, AND 23...TIME TO CATCH UP!

I hate that I have fallen behind in my blogging. There's real no excuse and I need to be more committed to writing in our blog. I feel it's the best way to stay accountable.

First I must post our current weight.

Rick weighed in at 198.2, making that a 3lbs loss for the week! Woohoo, Ricky is doing so well for a total of 14lbs loss!!! I'm so very proud of him.

I weighed in at 190.6, making that a 1.8 lb loss. I was hoping to break the 190's but that didn't happen. But I can't feel down that I didn't lose more. It is what it is and the main thing is that I'm feeling real good. This makes it a total of 7.8lbs loss so far for me.


Now for the latest. Today we decided to have a cheat night for dinner. As excited as we were to taste our favorite foods, we quickly found ourselves to be quite disappointed. Rick had hot wings with beer and I ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza with beer. Rick ended up eating 8 wings, a slice of pizza and 3 glasses of beer. I had 2 wings, 2 slices of pizza and 2 glasses of beer. Of course we felt very full and left the restaurant feeling less than satisfied. Within an hour, we both had terrible headaches and a heavy bloated feeling in our stomachs. Was it worth it? Yes and No...No because we both feel like crap and remembered this feeling all too well. Yes...because it is a harsh reminder that food really does impact how we feel on a day to day basis. We do not want to feel this way again and look forward to returning to our healthy way of eating.

Our future cheat night will consist of a few more calories than usual, but consisting of healthy food choices. It's just not worth it, since we feel so disgusting right now.

So here's to a new week and looking forward to cleaning out our systems from the crap we ate! :)

For those of you who know the feeling we are experiencing after our cheat meal, we encourage you to commit to eating a healthier diet. It is amazing how much better you will feel. Of course we would recommend our Silhouette Solution. :) But whatever you choose, just do it! It is so worth it!

DAY 20TH - FEELING ENERGIZED!!

I've been really dragging with the exercising and today I finally decided to do the Wii Active again. I just need to set my mind to do it and not put it off. I'm so glad I did because I got a real good workout.

Today I received my personalized multivitamins from the Trump Network program we are on. I had to send in a urine test kit that I purchased through this program. Basically this test determines what my body is lacking. No need to be taking unnecessary supplements that my body doesn't need. I got back a report stating the deficiencies and they create a special multivitamin blend according to the results. I was pleased to discover that I was actually in better shape (metabolically speaking) than I thought. But I still had some deficiencies and I'm looking forward to seeing if they make a noticeable difference.

I also received a Weight Loss/Energy Drink from this same program. I tried it today right before my workout and I feel more energized/revived now. No jittery feeling at all. I'm feeling real excited about these new products.

Now I need to get Ricky back to working out as well. But he's been a little busy this week. He did reach a milestone and had dropped to 198.8 as of this morning. :) I weighed in at 191.00. I'm hoping I can break the 190's by this weekend...we'll see.

Here's what we've eaten today.


BREAKFAST: (SS)Shake and QuikStik Energy Drink

SNACK: (SS) Soup and Tea

LUNCH: (SS) Bar and Tea

We didn't have our mid-day snack...things got busy. Will save it for later tonight.

DINNER: (SS) Cobb Salad and Unsweetened Ice Tea

DAY 19 - JUST ANOTHER WEDNESDAY

Nothing much to report. No exercising either. I know we need to get our butt in gear. Right now the one thing that had been on our minds, is finding a job. We are making sure to stay on our program and have not swayed from it.

I think we need to make sure to schedule our walks/workouts in the morning and get it out of the way, since later during the day things just get busy. We just need to get on gear with the exercising.

What we've eaten today.

BREAKFAST: (SS) Strawberry Shake and QuikStik Energy Drink

DINNER: Ricky has 5 oz chicken breast over a salad and I had (SS) Chocolate Puffs.

DAY 18 - TOM INTERFERE'S WITH MY LIFE

I know I posted about TOM yesterday, but it really gets in the way of things. There are months I get it real bad and awful cramping. To the point, that all I want to do is lay down. Well this is a bad month. So no exercise for me and I guess Ricky must have sympathy symptoms of TOM, because he hasn't exercised either. LOL

But the good news is we are still following our program. :) I have been failing with the fluid intake. I need to make sure I have a bottle available, because when I get caught up with something, I tend to forget. So there's a few issues I need to change.
I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll be feeling better than the last two days.

What we've had to eat today:

BREAKFAST: (SS) Oatmeal and QuikStik Energy Drink

SNACK: (SS) Bars and tea

LUNCH: (SS) Soup and tea

SNACK: (SS) Bars and tea

DINNER: 5oz of Chicken with 2 cups of veggies and tea

SNACK: SS) Bar and QuikStik Wind Down Drink

DAY 17TH - SWEET TOOTH

Well what can I say, it's Monday! I really don't have much to report today. TOM is here, so I'm craving sweets. Thank goodness the Silhouette Solution plan has plenty of sweet snacks to eat. Problem is, I want to eat more than the allotted amount. But I won't let that control me. I want to see better results on my next weigh in. I didn't exercise today like I should have. Neither one of us did. We just have so much on our minds right now, trying to find jobs. I know we shouldn't let this get to us, but with TOM here, I just didn't have the energy. But I have been drinking plenty and staying on the plan.

What we've eaten today so far.


BREAKFAST: (SS) Strawberry Shake and QuickStik Energy Drinks

SNACK: (SS) Bars and Tea and Water

LUNCH: (SS) Ricky had the Tomato Soup and I had the Chicken Cream Soup, and tea

SNACK: (SS) Bar and Tea

DINNER: Cobb Salad and Tea

SNACK: (SS) Bar and tea

DAY 16 - JUST ANOTHER DAY

Well it's Sunday and nothing really exciting to post about.

I'm going to try to drink more water instead of the Crystal Light tea, since the tea does have calories. I decided to squeeze some fresh lemon juice into it, to make it easier to drink since water is a big problem for me. I'm just not a huge water drinker.

I was going to do the Wii Active today, but I'm just in one of those blah moods today. Just not in the mood. But for sure tomorrow I will do it. Ricky is not feeling that great today either, so we're just going to chill today.

We got a late start to our day, so breakfast did not happen until some time after 10:30 am.

Here's what we've had to eat for today.


BREAKFAST: (SS) Oatmeal and QuikStik Energy Drinks

SNACK: (SS) Bars and tea

LUNCH: We skipped lunch since we got up late and decided to have dinner at 4:30pm. So we have 3 (SS) Snacks we will leave for later.

DINNER: Top Sirloin Steak on the grill with Asparagus (DELICIOUS)
Ricky had tea and I had 3 glasses of water with lemon in it. :)

SNACK: (SS)Bars - Ricky had tea and I had water

SNACK: (SS) Puff Snacks

SNACK: (SS) Hot Chocolate


Just want to note that I use Mrs. Dash spices to season our food I make. I use no salt.
