What to do?

I e-mailed my dr for some weight loss advice and all I get out of her is to try taking the over the counter diet pill Alli, this from a dr? Are you kidding me? I am going to pass on that, If I want a piece of pizza I don't want to have to know where the nearest bathrooms are on my 10 minute car ride home. Won't work for this girl, been there, done that, not to be repeated!!! I am going to look for a different dr and see what they have to say! Until then I will watch what I eat and exercise!! Gotta love it!!

On a positive note this weekend I made Turkey chili and froze it, and meatballs, which as I am posting I am making rice so that I can mix with the meatballs, and some salsa for a delectable lunch tomorrow!! I also cooked the chicken up for the enchiladas we had tonight!!! Sure made making supper a piece of cake. Oh I made Angel food cake this weekend as well. Along with all this I cleaned veggies, sweet peppers, pea pods and I have a jicima to cut up!!! I think I am really going to try and make things on the weekends so that they are all ready to go during the week!! Healthy and fast gotta love that!! The recipe for the Chicken Enchiladas is on the Skinnyweek.com site. I have also become a fan of the Yoplait smoothies. They are in the freezer section kind of spendy, $3 something but it will make 2 8oz glasses and all you have to do is add a cup of skim milk. I have been making them for breakfast and adding some protein powder!!! I also tried making "Skittles" you pour sugar free dry jello on top of red grapes and freeze!!! I think you have to "savor" them to get them to taste like a skittle!! Sydney and I like them. Skinnyweek.com once again! Last "goodie" for the weekend that I found was Skinny Cow Strawberry Cheesecake icecream in a single serve container. 150 calories and I think it is 2 ww points. They have different flavors as well, got them at Cub for $1.00!!!! It was a productive weekend!!!!

What option should I choose?

I am so fricking frustrated with my weight loss right now I could just scream. I put all this hard work in at the gym and do a pretty good job of monitoring what I eat and still no loss!!!! Here is a super big kicker. I finished the Get Fit program at the Y!! Here are the results!!!!!! Wait for it............... I GAINED 6LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not even kidding you. It was suppose to be lose 10lbs in 10 weeks, I guess I shot that theory right out of the water!!!! Oh it gets better. I LOST INCHES AND MY BODY FAT WENT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now normally that would be something to be thankful and grateful for, but how can I when my clothes don't fit any better and the number on the scale went up!!!!!!!!!!!!! If purging wasn't so bad for your teeth I think I would try it!! The coach is seriously at a loss with me, she is baffled. Welcome to the club!!!

Jackie signed up to run a 10k in May the half marathon was to much in to short of a time. Guess who needs to sign up next???????

I am going to take my short vacation have fun and try and decide what my next plan of attack is going to be!!!! What "new" diet thing will I spend my money on next LOL!!! I think I will come up with a "Shelia Harper plan that will work" "Lose 6 dress sizes in 6 weeks", " Go from a size 14 to a size 4 in just a few months" I might as well try and make some money off this deal, everyone else is!!!

Rain Rain Go Away

I just looked at my last post and it was over 2 weeks ago, not good. I really have a hard time going to the gym when it is rainy and icky out. We were gone over the weekend so no gym those days. I went on Monday in the morning and had a great workout then back on Monday night for my class. Honestly I must say that class is one of the biggest wastes of 99.00 that I have ever spent on weight loss and exercise. The class is totally not what they make it out to be, there is suppose to be 8 people in the class and the only night there were 8 was the very 1st night. Since then it has been about 4 or 3. 3 people have lost weight the most is a 5lb loss the rest just 2 and 3 and myself a big fat 0!!!! I did tell the trainer I was disappointed in the class. Of course they want to sell you training packages to get you on the right track, but sorry I am going to have to pass!!! We did get a kettle bell and TRX demonstration and got to do both. I think I could really learn to LOVE kettle bells. It is a combination of cardio and strength so that is good. Guess what you have to pay extra for both of these classes!!! I might consider kettle bells in the future. The difference with those and dumb bells is how the weight is proportioned. Makes sense. I am still waiting for Paul to mail me my plan that he worked out for me. Hopefully he will get it to me my the end of the week.
My plan is to have good workouts this weekend!!! It is suppose to be nice out so maybe I can even get a walk in outside!!!!!

As far as eating, I hate that part!! I will try to keep on track, I need to drink more water that is for sure!!! I really want to move my ticker tape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
