Well, I think I had a pretty good first week. I'm officially down 8 lbs! I feel good about that, considering I have so much further to go. But the changes I've made haven't been earth-shattering, and if I can just figure out what to do about the munchies I seem to constantly have, I'll be all set.
Last night, I made burgers on the grill. I had one on a bun, and one without. Now, admittedly, the one on the bun was much better, but I really didn't NEED it. Later on in the evening, I went ot have a creamcicle (those are only 13 grams), and my daughter heard it and so I put it back, cuz she certainly didn't need one at 9:30 LOL.
I think that the exercise is the biggest challenge for me, especially in the humidity. I went out yesterday and dug up my spring bulbs and planted some summer ones and thought I woudl have a heat stroke. I was out there all of MAYBE 30 minutes, and was exhausted the rest of the day. I'm getting my son into the habit of sweeping the kitchen for me, and straightening the living room ( all we have in there is a chair, a couple of computers, and the entertainment center, so he's parked in front of the nintendo - his domain, his mess!).
We found out that we have an inspection of our apartment in 2 weeks, so getting back on the Flylady wagon worked out well - I won't have to kill myself cleaning in a 2 day stint - just keep up what I've done, and finish what I need to. It feels great, and I really didn't spend THAT much time doing it!
Well, I haven't heard from my cohorts today - I hope they're behaving :)
~Dawn, down to 272 and loving it lol

flutter flutter flutter
So today, Ididn't get done as much as I wanted, but mainly because of my troubles with the phone & cable . I have done 3 loads of laundry, though! The kitchen is clean, sink is shined. So I guess that's pretty good.
I forgot to weigh myself until after I'd eaten this mrning, so I was still at the same as yesterday, but hey, it's better than going back UP :D I've been very good today, even though I'm seriously craving some major chocolate. I've been taking care of this by eating these little Dove ice cream snacks (they're 2 bites) and yum. I don't know the nutrional info on them but they can't be THAT bad ... right? LOL
But as for carbs today, I've only had 26? We're taking hubby out for dinner, so I'm sure I"ll make up for it *EG*
Gee, maybe later I can burn it off :)
Anyways, time to get the clothes out. Nikki, I think you're doing great. Everyone has their down days!
and WOOHOO! on the smoking! THAT'S A SERIOUS WOOHOO! :)

Didn't Do So Well
Well, I didn't do so well yesterday. I didn't walk. I didn't do any kind of excersise. My shoulder is killing me for some reason so I stayed well away from the weight bench.
I don't normally eat breakfast and yesterday was no execption.
We were on the go for most of the afternoon so we stopped for lunch. I got a french dip sandwich and a side of roasted portabella mushrooms. I ended up putting the mushrooms on the sandwich and it was really good.
For dinner I ended up with two slices of pizza because at work my team won a contest and the company threw us a pizza party.
I was still hungry when I got home and so I settled down chips and salsa with sour cream, I ate very little before my stomach started to hurt from the salsa, sadly, I was still hungry and I ended up with a bowl of cheerios.
I so did not do well.
*sigh*
I doubt I'll do any better the rest of the week simply because I refuse to buy a ton of new groceries when we have to move. I am trying to use up what we do have in reserve. Right now I know we have some less then healthy food in the house. I promise as soon as we get moved I'll replace all the chips with fruit and vegetables.
I also don't think I'll get alot of excersising done becuase I can't afford to stay up too late and I work until midnight. During the day, we are working on packing for the move and getting the children ready for their big summer with my parents.
I am going to try the Garlic Pork Chop recipe that Dawn posted. Even if I am not doing the whole no carb thing, it sounds delicious.
Here's to hoping I can get myself back on track soon.
Oh, by the way, did I mention that next week is the All Great Smoke Out at my house? Both of us are going to use the patch to quit smoking.

Welcome, Way to Go, and the Shelf From Hell
Welcome Nikki! i'm so glad you decided to join us. i have every faith in you. i know you can soar.
Dawn... you are doing so awesome. i am so impressed. i'm going to have to head to the store for some pork chops!
i'm so glad i have the two of you in my life to help me learn to fly!
So... What's up with me.
Well, today the scale is my friend. i stepped on it and it said, OUCH. hehe. No seriously, it said 270. i am very happy with my scale right now.
As for flying, i've gotten a lot done. The shelf from hell nearly did me in, but i have it now exactly as i want it. The photo albums retrieved from the closet of doom are there. :) And, i've dealt with all of Bkid's clothes. Today i took two 30 gallon trashbags of stuff to the Goodwill. i also FINALLY took my capris to the cleaners to be fixed. YAY! i got dressed to my collar and i have those three rooms back spic and span. i am going to stay on top of them. i situated those clothes, and managed to visit with my father without fighting with him. All in all, i'd say i have succeeded for another day in learning to fly. i think my biggest problem is NOT taking the breaks like i should. i worry about crashing and burning, because i am exhausted and sore. This fat woman is NOT used to all of this work! But, i'm getting there! Tomorrow is going to be a lighter day. i'm just going to clean my three good rooms and maybe do a 27 Fling Boogie in Bkid's room. i gotta rest.
my goals for this week are:
Finish up Bkid's room.
Write in my Letter's to Kkid journal every day.
Start on bathroom.
Do my control journal.
So... still a lot to be done by Sunday, my official day of rest. Where i only do the very basics.
i'm proud you ya'll. We are GETTING THERE!

On the road to a new beginning
First of all, I want to thank Dawn and Pheonix for inviting me to join their group. I am hoping that with a little love and alot of female support, I too will be able to lose some of the weight I have that seems to weigh me down in more ways than one.
I do not have all of my stats just yet, but I can tell you that I weigh in at 226 pounds. The other stats will come when I have more time.
I am hoping to post here daily. I suffer from serious stomach ailments that make dieting very hard for me. Unlike Dawn and Pheonix, I am not going to use the low carb diet. Rather I am going to try to cut out the foods that I find are unhealthy for me and try to excersise more often.
My darling husband and I are serious gamers and avid movie buffs. I hate working outside. I hate extreme heat or extreme cold. This makes for a very lazy Nikki. I like to stay inside where I can control the tempature.
Lately, due to my illness. I have fallen by the wayside in not only my eating habits, but my wifely duties as far as house duties are concerned. It is easy for me to do because I know that Chris will always pick up the slack. He may not vacume or dust, but he always makes sure the main things are done. The dishes, the floor is kept free of clutter, that kind of thing. I want to go back to being the wife who isn't suffering from C.H.A.O.S.
So, here is a toast to the three of us. Win or lose, gain or drop, clean or dirty, we are joining one another on an amazingly difficult journey. It wil be hard and I expect it to take a very long time for all of us to get where we want to be. I say, when, not if, but when, we all get to where we want to be, we will get together and have a girl's night out.
That is my goal anyway. To feel good enough about myself to feel as if I have earned such a remarkable reward.
>lifts glass of water<
To two very remarkable women and my gratitude for being allowed to join in on this journey.

My stats for today (recipe)
well, today found me at 274 - wooohooo :D
So today, I've cleaned the pantry nearly from top to bottom (waiting for daughter to go down for nap), and have straightened living room & kitchen. I'm going out tonight, so I'll try to get my room at least straightened before heading out.
Yesterday's dinner was very good, and I had it for leftovers today's lunch. Yum.
Once we figure out categories, we'll put ours in there, but for now, this will do. We'll put (recipe) in the title so we can find them later. :)
I made this last night. For hubby & kids, I also boiled a couple of potatoes, threw in some butter and chives. I made some steamed cabbage (that was a bad idea) and we also had a can of green beans.
4 boneless pork sirloin chops, 1/2 inch thick
8 cloves garlic, slivered
salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp rosemary, crushed
1/4 c chicken broth
1/2 c white wine (or white grape juice with a splash of vinegar)
1 Tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
With a pointed end of a knife, make 4 slits on the top of each porkchop. Insert the garlic slivers into the slits. Salt & pepper the cops to taste, and crush the rosemary on top and try and get it into the slits as best you can.
Place the chops into a metal baking pan. Roast for 10 minutes, then pull from the oven and carefully turn chops over.
Finish roasting another 10 minutes or until chops are completely cooked through. Remove chops from pan and keep warm. Add the chicken broth and white wine to the pan and place the pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Using a wire whisk, whisk up the goodies off the bottom of the pan and allow the sauce ot reduce slightly. Whisk in the butter and when melted and fully incorporated, serve atop the chops.
Per Serving:
209 calories, 10g fat, 22g protein, 2 g carbs, 74mg cholesterol, 132 mg sodium.
Low carb serving suggestions: Braised red cabbage and steamed brussels sprouts
Serving suggestion: Add a baked potato

Getting off the Ground
Well... i am exhausted, and i'm piling my up in front of the computer for a little R&R. First of all Dawn, let me just say how proud of you i am! You are doing fantastic. Flying and low carbing. You are really starting to get the hang of both, and i am so impressed. GO DAWN!!
As for flying... i'm making a great deal of progress. i have a morning routine that works really well for me. Every morning i get up at 7:30 and start my bathwater. While the water runs i make my bed, start my coffee and unload the dishwasher. Then i jump in the tub and bathe, wash my hair, shave my legs and underarms (its really bad to admit, but i have been awful about shaving my legs for years, so this is a really a big thing for me... this is one of the biggest things J is loving about my flying, LMAO) wash my face in the good stuff, and try to do something with my feet. my feet are a total mess because i don't wear shoes and i haven't taken care of them in so long. Then i do my hair and get dressed to my collar (which i'm substituting for shoes since i don't own any.) Next i start the clothes i have waiting in the washer, and bring in the clothes from the dryer. i fold them while having my morning coffee.
Then i begin the list. Every night (part of my evening routine) i make a list of the chores i want to finish the next day. Usually around 20 items. i schedule my breaks into the list and just work though it. For me the key is to not cut the computer on until i have a damn good chunk of it done. i feel motivated to get back to it because i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. So far i have gotten three rooms in DAMN good shape with the kid's room and the bathroom left to do. Although the bathroom isn't that bad, since i've always been a bit finicky about my bathroom.
Sometimes things get a little haywire, because the man child is here all day with me right now, being on summer break. If he is in a pissy mood, things do not go according to plan. But, i try. And, so far, usually succeed.
i've been trying to make much nicer meals because J and i are low carbing too. (And, LETS HEAR IT FOR J!!! HE HAS HAD TO STOP TAKING HIS DIABETES MEDICATION BECAUSE HIS SUGAR WAS RUNNING TOO LOW!!! WHOOO HOOO GO J!!) Its easy to get bored with meat and salad every day in creation, so i've been trying to use some good recipes and make different stuff. Yesterday i concocted my own invention and made chicken tenders rolled in crushed pork rinds, seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. We dipped them in salad dressing and it was delicious. Its going really well.
Oh, and just to get it on record...
i started out with these stats:
Weight:280 BMI:42.9
Bust: 49.5
Waist: 47.5
Hips: 53.5
Left Thigh: 29.5
Right Thigh: 30
Left Arm: 18
Right Arm: 18
And, i just checked the scale. i'm weighing in today somewhere between 273 and 274. WHOOO HOOO!

Beginnings
Well, I've been low-carbing for like 5 or 6 days... yes, it's baby steps, but once I commit to it, I try hard. And I'm quite proud of myself, considering I normally have ZERO self-control LOL
I weighed myself yesterday when we bought a scale.
280 lbs.
gasp fuck fuck gasp. I was so angry with myself.
Today, I weighed myself
276!
I'm fluttering! I'm on my 15 minute break from cleaning my living room. 15 min on 15 min off. I did too much on Friday (didn't use my timer) and then didn't do anything productive all weekend cuz I was so tired and sore. SO today I'm trying to use my timer. :)
So I had to celebrate :)
My carbs for yesterday:
Pre-breakfast: Coffee (12 carbs)
Breakfast: 1 egg, bacon, 1 pc wheat toast (13)
Snack: About 5 tastes of some ice cream, so I figured it to be about 3 carbs (12 in a 1/2 cup!)
Lunch: Fried chicken from the store so no reak idea but the counter I found says 7
Snack: maybe 1/4 cup soft-serve ice cream so I figured it to be 10ish lol
Dinner: top round steak/onions/cheese, steamed brocolli with cheese sauce... PRICELESS
no, really - 0 :D
So I think I did freakin AWESOME :D
and for my day's activities (added 8 hrs later)
I swept & washed the kitchen floor, cleared the table (MAJOR hot spot)
cleaned the living room, swept and washed that floor
did 3 loads of laundry
folded those 3 loads of laundry, plus 2 huge baskets of clothes that were just sitting here and PUT THEM ALL AWAY!
Oh, and I made a yummy dinner, the recipe of which I'll post tomorrow :)
How about you, phoenix???

In the beginning...
Dawn: yeah, in the begining, god created man... ok, so that's up for discussion, but SOMEONE created carbs, dammit.
and I'd like to be the first in history to declare that I WANT TO BEAT THAT PERSON to death with a loaf of French bread. No... really.... I do.
My cohort over there & I are working together on this. We both need to get more control of our lives, and that takes many forms. We both want to lose some weight (both knowing we'll never be stick chicks), and we both needed some help & guidance with our household nightmares. Nightmares cuz we hate housework.
pheonix: Good grief. my house has been a mess since i moved out of my parent's house when i was 17 years old. i am hideous about keeping on top of it. But, the lovely Dawn showed me the flylady website. And, i'm trying to learn to fly. With my partner in crime there. We are flybabies. Fly stands for Finally Love Yourself. Which i need to do. What about you Dawn? How long have you C.H.A.O.S. in your house?
Dawn: Forever, it seems. Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrom has lived in my house since I moved out at 20. And with that comes the self-loathing and the "why can't I do this?" attitude that just sucks. Self-defeatists, I believe the Flylady would call us, phoenix. But that's about to change, right?!
phoenix: Yes, enough is enough. We are tired of living our lives this way. And, thus this blog. So we can help one another stick to our new low carb lifestyle and to fly. Our bodies will be so healthy and we'll fly so well... we will soar!
Dawn: Smooches to my bud - we can do this!
