CARDIO: 6 HOURS pulling weeds. These arent sissy weeds either, they are as high as your knees, and most of them need 2 hands to pull. In hindsight, I would have paid someone to do it.

Okay, first of all, is Meal 4 really a meal?

You crack me up! Looks like one my meals for Wednesday.

Sorry about all that weed pulling. I had to do 90 minutes and I thought that was a lot.

Everything continues to look so great in here - keep up the good work hottie!

I had a meal like that one the day b4 yesterday except it was popsicles and fat free cool whip

Jill your doing awesome!!!

Have a great weekend!

Morning miss Jill !

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Stacey! Mornin Gary, how goes it???
Getting ready to go do chest and cardio. My legs are STILL sore...I did them on wed, wtf????? I think the weed picking has something to do with it.

I was so excited this am, I just bought myself one of those '1 cup' coffee machines, they are great!!!! Ive never made coffee at home before, I usually just buy it...I think I am officially addicted now!

Oh ya, for the record my weights at its lowest in 6 months!!! 2 Days in a row.

This is a real motivator!

Posted by: JLB001

Drink lots of water too! Your doing awesome!!! New pics new pics!

Posted by: greekblondechic

That's AWESOME sweetie pie, but why are your calories so low? Are you feeling more cold/temperature sensitive? Tired or dizzy or not thinking clearly?

Posted by: gwcaton

Way to go JILL !!

Posted by: Jill

Thanks peeps!!! I do feel great! ***Note to self. Stick with this plan cause it works!***
Greeky, my cals dont even feel that low, cause Im eating so many veggies and lettuce. I really dont WANT any other carbs except for oats-Im also trying to not eat any carbs (except veggies) after 3pm. Im also addicted to salsa, I eat it on almost everything! (except protein pancakes

) If I feel like a sweet treat I eat sf jello or sf popsicles.

Jodie, hopefully in a few weeks / months Ill post some pics. I have some REAL fat ones from Jan. Hopefully i can achieve somewhat of a transformation like you!

Posted by: JLB001

Jillie...If there is a will, there is always a way! I think you can transform quicker than you may think.

You may want to throw a few days in there where the calories are higher, like maybe a lil pasta or so once a week. That way if you do change eatting habits again, you won't add a bunch of weight back on.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Where did this plan come from sweetums? What is it? I'm having trouble identifying it. Anyway, I keep thinking.. go low carb go low carb, but I don't want to rebound again like Jodie mentionned. It was the damn rebound weight that killed me, I'd be ok if I was back at my old 148.

Posted by: Jill

Meal 1: 1/4C oats, 1T cottage cheese, 2 ew's, 1 scoop protein
Meal 2: 1/3C oats, 1T cottage cheese, 2ew's, 1 scoop protein, 100g's strawberries
Meal 3: 4oz chix, veggies, 1C special K, salsa, 2T ff sc, 1 sf popsicle
Meal 4: 5?oz steak, 12-14 broiled shrimpies, veggies, 1-2C watermelon <----ate a bit too much protein at this one, its better than the garlic bread, cabbage rolls, bbqed potatoes, fudgsicles and pie I passed on!

Meal 5: 4oz chix, veggies, sf jello, sf popsicle

1518 cals
190P , 110C, 31F

TRAINING:
CARDIO: 45mins ct, 15mins stairmaster, 3 hours picking weeds, no wonder I was hungry all day!
WEIGHTS: Chest

Proud that I passed on all the crap at din din tonight!! Cals a little higher than I would have like today, but I was very active so im sure I'll be fine. I bought a box of special K today simply for the free stepper,

Im going to have to be careful around the cereal, its a trigger to binge. Packed over 45 BIG GARBAGE BAGS of weeds today....just imagine how many we picked!!! I just hope the garbage man takes the 30 some we put out for him!

Greeky hunny, Im just simply tring to stay under 120carbs, tonnes of veggies, and high protein. Im also not eating carbs after 3 or so. This is similar to Jodie's cutting plan, but Im taking it day by day. I plan to have a cheat meal once every 2 weeks. This is really working for me so far, and its super easy. I havent really craved carbs at all

. I HAVE deff craved choc and sugar, but thats normal for me-except I now realize they are just 'impulses', and they do pass.

The main thing is, Im tired of hearing myself complain about ME. Either I have to put up with the way I look and accept it, or work to change it. Im tired of being depressed about weight issues. Basically, I either have to put up or shut up.

Ive come to terms and am working on binge issues, and emotional eating. The Dr Phil book is great. The only thing is that you cant change some one who doesnt want to change. I simply want to bad enough now.

I also realize that a healthy lifestyle and body wont come around if you eat crap everyday, Im really enjoying eating healthy again, I feel 100% better.

I think you just have to be in right mindset, 99% of the time.

Posted by: JLB001

That is alot of weeds! Glad we live in an apartment, landscapers come do that once a week.

Reading this journal makes me really happy these days

You're in a great place sweets and I love it!

Thanks Jenny, I feel just pure happiness inside, I really cant explain it.

I really think that after my Cuba trip, It has made me realize how fortunate I am, and I really look at life differently now.

BTW, Steve and I were talking about Sweden, and I was like, 'I have a friend in Sweden'!! He was like 'Ya, Sweden is voted having the most attractive people in the world!'. You fit in perfectly.

Have a fantastic day beautiful, enjoy working!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Jillsan!

You do have a friend in Sweden

Yes, we do have a lot of hottie people here. Really, when you go to a club there's just beauties EVERYWHERE. Guys and girls!

If you ever decide to visit Sweden I'd love to be a tour guide and show you all the hot spots

If I'm here that is

So glad you're feeling good, I think you're experiencing what I did earlier this spring

I had a little downfall during my vacation, feeling bad about myself, and it reminded me to never stop working on the things that matter

Reading your journal is great for all of us here, you inspire us all

Excellent post Jill!! So true, you just made my morning! I'm going to get that Dr. Phil book to that everyone keeps talking about. I think it would be very beneficial.

Have a good day sweetie!!

Posted by: gwcaton

Morning Jill !
You sound so happy and you are doing so great ! I just got up ! WOHOOOO this vacation stuff is fun ! LOL

I didn't realize they has sooooo many weeds in Canada !
Have a great one !

Posted by: naturaltan

Like NG said ... great post Jill!

Your Cuba trip has been beneficial it seems. You have a new drive that is going good for you. And I love the food plan ... it's Jill's plan that works for you, instead of this plan or that plan.

I think you've hit it right on ... either live with how you are and don't complain, or change it. It's very simple to say, but hard to implement - and you've begun the process of making the change. You go girl.

How was the weekend? It certainly was nice out. We went to Albert Beach. It was beautiful out there, although the beach itself left a lot to be desired. It would be nice to have a Cuba/Mexico type beach here to relax at. We brought our daughter and see really didn't care ... so it all worked out in the end. Oh ... our daughter was voted most well behaved and most beautiful at the campsite by the managers. Most beautiful was a very nice compliment ... being the best behaved wasn't hard to get - the things parents let their kids do while camping. Our friends have a 5th wheel. Their neighbours kids were throwing water balloons at it?? And when it was brought up to the parents, they shrugged their shoulders and said "they isn't much we can do really" ... so I found the kids and told them straight up, if I caught them, I'd beat their a$$ and there wouldn't be much my wife could do .... " There wasn't another balloon thrown at their 5th wheel.

Posted by: Jill

I think thats something Ive NOW FINALLY discovered, put up with what you are or shut up. Only YOU can change YOU

! Finding something that works for me is diff than what might work for someone else. For ex Carb cycling, I was miserable, and I didnt lose any weight-It may work for one Jodi, but not for another JodiE

I am no longer eating to feel satisfied-that not what food is for.

Glad to hear about your fab weekend at the beach NT. Your daughter sounds like a real gem-great parents make all the difference in the world.

I sorta try to eat like that as well.. but after a wo, I am supposed to eat carbs, so if I work out later..

I eat carbs.
Good luck Hottie, I LOVE your ATTITUDE!!

Posted by: Jill

Hi Sappy! I still eat veggies after 3, I just try not to eat any complex carbs, I might have some diet yogurt. If I workout late in the day I will probably eat carbs later than 3, but I usually train in the am's.

Thanks for the compliment of loving my attitude, I really love it myself now!!!

Good for you Jill ...

Posted by: Jill

Thanks everyone, soooooooooo much. I really appreciate all the support. Its really weird, once you start seeing results the desire to eat crappy starts to diminish. You just dont wanna mess up the hard work.

Congrats Jill

I'm happy you are doing well.

I believe the point of Jodie suggesting a cheat meal is so your body doesn't adapt to the diet and so progress doesn't slow down. Similar to same reasons of high carb day in carb cycling. It will replenish glycogen to keep your body going during workouts and your body won't enter starvation mode.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks for visiting Jodi.

I guess I finally found something that works for me. And its pretty easy to follow. That the most important thing. Any tips on having a planned cheat?? Things to avoid etc.... Thanks

Posted by: Jodi

I always visit, I just don't always comment.

Personally, I'd do lots of carbs like mashed potatos and corn, bread (hold the butter) and steak. Then have a small dessert.

Posted by: JLB001

Jillie...Jodi said exactly what I meant. I've been brain dead for a few days. Finally have tomorrow off to regroup and adjust back to normal. Have been working the past 10 days in a row. Jodi's saying mashed P's and stuff sounds yummy too! Don't be scared that a cheat meal will slow things down, it only helps. Mini refeeds instead of a whole day.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Jodie's!!! You 2 gals are the greatest!

Im actually scared to cheat!

Weird, Jill not wanting to cheat!!! I actually passed on the cupcakes today, everyone here was eating em cause it is a co-workers b-day. As they ate cupcakes, I ate cauliflower and cukes!

Hmmmm, maybe I'll have a cupcake Sat for a cheat! Maybe.....

Posted by: JLB001

Or two!

Posted by: Jill

Or 3!!

God now I want sugar, gotta find my gum! Im now addicted to tridents 'very berry' gum, its yummy!

I knew someone would ask! Take a scoop of protein (chocolate), add a bit of coco, and some splenda, and mix it all together with water, so its like brownie batter. Cook in the microwave for around 30 seconds (its cooks real quick). It tastes just like a brownie!! BUT, pure protein!!!!! I like it when its a little raw in the middle, thats how I make my p pancakes.

Posted by: Stacey

oh My!! I have to try these tomorrow!!!!!!!!

YUM!!! Or maybe now? Hmmm? lol

How much splenda?

Posted by: Jenny

Jillsan, that brownie thing sounds yummy, I have to try it!!

I am going to try that too! You are doing awesome baby girl, but be careful. With those low calories you need to cheat I'd say probly once a week? What does everyone else think?

Posted by: naturaltan

I think it's working for her, so she should continue doing what works for her.

Posted by: greekblondechic

The point is that it works, but you don't want your body to adapt to it, or your metabolism to slow, and the cheats are to make it KEEP working. I dunno

Posted by: naturaltan

I don't know much either (in fact, you probably know more than I about dieting) ... but since her vacation, she's losing weight and seems happy about it. If a time comes when she stops losing weight, she can at that point do something different. As both Jodies have said, their advice is given as guidelines based on their experience and have both noted that it may not work for everyone. I compare Jill's plan to how Bruce Lee approached his martial arts. He took from everything and created something that worked for him. Jill has done the same thing. She's questioned many people about their plans and has come up with something that works for her.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I know, isn't it awesome!

Posted by: Jill

Im really happy Nt and Greeky, what Im doing is working for me. I dont feel deprived at all. I dont want to cheat though-I MAY have a small treat Sat, Ill see then. Ive never experienced my weight actully go down, consistently, i just dont want to mess things up.

I enjoy counting cals and measuring foods, it has just became a part of me. I think anything is possible, as long as you set your mind to it, AND STICK WITH IT. Consistency is something I lacked before.

Posted by: shortstuff

Jill!!!! Youa are doing freaking awesome!! I just finally got up and I love your journal, I really want my mom to read Dr. Phil's book. I think it would hepl her a ton!!!

You are so funny Jodie!!!! One BAD habit I used to have was that everytime I went to a grocery store I hate candy out of the bulk bins

. I havent "done" thta for a long time!!!!

Stacey, you are real sweet!!

Have a fab weekend too Gary!

Posted by: JLB001

I steal one or two carmels when I walk by that bin. I'm having my cheat today.....choc. chip cookies. Soooooooooooooo yummy! We are doing a test to see how I fill out from them.

We took before pics, so in about another hor we will take some more up to the time I go to work at 2pm.

Posted by: Jill

Jodie-The couple we met in Cuba who had just competed said their secret was the day before / of the comp they ate things like cookies, french fries, pretty much junk food-and they could litterally see themselves 'filling' out. Dont forget to show us your pics!!!

Enjoy the cookies too!!!!

Thanks Girlies, about the cals. Today at 1365 felt good. Trying to stay within 1300-1400. The scale is consistently going down!!!

This has never happened to me before!!! I was craving sweets really bad today. Seeing all the chococlate and candy (I was just at wallmart) was hard. (Didnt buy any

) AND, the girl I was working with today ate SO MANY reese pieces all day long, I didnt touch one. Not even 1!!

Just made homemade popsicles with crystal light!

Posted by: hikerchick

mmmmmmmm....yummy. Those popsicles sound delish.

That's great the scale keeps going down babe! Doesn't it feel sooo good? Feeling good is much better than binging on sugar then dealing with the guilt aftermath.

You're doing so great - keep up the hard work!

Posted by: Jill

That is so true hiker!!!

I feel great!!! My work dress pants are getting sooooooooo loose on me they actaully look sloppy!!!!!

Hi Jill, That sounds so end of the world. Almost like you have given up. Thats not you, you don't give up. good luck

Posted by: Jill

Gary you are right....I hope everything is goes ok. Im off to do cardio, 6am right now and my head is killing me, Im tired, and my eyes are puffy. Oh well! I didnt emotionally eat last night (I actually made myself eat protein). We also went and saw a movie (Before everthing happened)-I brought a can of diet pop and some mini carrots, Steve ate chocolate covered peanuts, I didnt have 1.

Posted by: Jill

ff sc-yup, fat free sour cream. I want cake now, like coffee cake, or birthday cake....or muffins. Now im craving junk. The popsicles and jello just dont cut it. Night Jodie, rest day for me tomorrow! Ive been going to the gym waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too many days in a row. I think my body needs it cause Ive been very tired lately, cranky too. Could be the lack of carbs.

Posted by: gwcaton

Hi Jill

I just can't get over how fantastic you have been doing ! Keep it up girl ! I am so happy for you !

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Gary, you are soooooo sweet always lookin out for me!!! Yup, I am REAL proud of myself!

Am very happy!!! Pants that didnt fit me (well they were real real tight) a month ago are very very loose now!!!

I was going to have a cheat meal for dinner tonight, but Ive changed my mind and am going to have salmon instead!

Why cheat if I dont feel ready too???

Time to throw some yummy stuff in there if your tired all the time. You can do like Jodi does and have something like Mashed P's. or do like me and have a free for all junk food day with cake and cookies. But just one day.

This is great motivation for me. I don't think you should do a free for all day because that would be hard to deal with mentally. One dessert w/ dinner, shared w/ Steve if you don't want the whole thing. Love ya, your twin.

Jillie....try sharing a small slice of something with Steve. You'll feel alot better. If it is small, shouldn't turn into a binge, plus if your out eatting, you can't have the leftovers in the house since it won't be in the house.

Getting a single serving portion and splitting it while out and NOT bringing anything home is a really good idea.

I think I am gonna have a cheat, real soon. Im starting to crave it BAD now. Its been 24 days, all clean. Things that i especially want:

1 cookie
Werthers chewy candy-they play that fucking commerical ALL THE TIME!
Sweedish berries
Cinnamon bun -dont know why, I havent had one in probably 5 years

Some form of chocolate

Pizza
I think the list could be WAY longer.

Posted by: Stacey

I think you deserve a nice contolled cheat

Posted by: Sapphire

You DEFINITELY deserve a cheat!! No doubt about it and NO GUILT!!!! One cheat day can only help you mentally to stay strong allll those other times!!!

Posted by: Jill

I am cranky today.....I have a confessional to make. I woke up last night, and went down stairs for a drink, and I ended up eating cereal, quite a bit of it. (special K top be exact) It wasnt a binge-fuck, who am I kidding it was a mini binge. And Im just really upset I let myself fuck up. I shouldnt be pissed, or feel guilty, but that just comes with the perfectionist personality trait. Maybe I really needed those carbs??? I did look a bit fuller this am, nice excuse. Soooooooooo, so much for my planned cheat, that will now have to wait....

I did have a great workout dispite-1h cardio, bis & tris and abbies. Beacuse of my little mess up I may skip my rest day tomorrow and go do cardio.

Will see how I feel, i have to make myself take rest days, Im addicted to the gym!

Should I lower my carbs for the next few day cause of last night???? Is that cereal going to affect my weight loss, Jodie's?????Thanks

Posted by: JLB001

NO!

Don't you dare lower the carbs because of the cereal. Just go back to your normal eatting. Don't beat yourself up over it either. Just look at it as your cheat food (even if it what most of the box, Craig has to eat the WHOLE box).
You may hold a lil water from it, but that will come back down in a day or so.
Don't stress it...ok??? please. You'll be fine. Promise.

Posted by: carbchick

Hey Jill!
Look that cereal in the eye, guesstimate how many carbs it was, and MOVE ON My guess is your cravings were telling you you needed extra cals and now you got them so JLB is right, get straight back to gameplan and you will be fine

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Jodie and Carbchick. I am back on track today, not letting the cereal incident get to me. I threw the rest of the cereal in the garbage!!! I will not lower my carbs today either Jodie. I have eaten so clean for the last 3.5 weeks the cereal wont hurt me, I am just being paranoid. The funny thing is after that mini cheat I am all the more motivated!!!! My cardio kicked ass this am, even though my butt hurts so bad from yesterdays leggie workout!

Posted by: greekblondechic

You needed it baby. Next time try to incorporate the cheats BEFORE that happens. Because of your guts, I will now go confess in my own journal.

Nighty night. Was going to do cardio tomorrow at 6am, but am going to rest instead. I need to take atleast 1 day off a week. Steve is giving me shit cause he says I need to rest to grow.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Yep. and to keep from burning out which usually takes a while to recover from. Take that well deserved rest day, im sure your body sucked up those extra carbs and doesnt need to burn them off. Go do something fun instead! If you must be active.. go for a walk or something, play outside!

Posted by: ncgirl21

Hey Jilly!! Your doing awesome girl- and that cereal didn't hurt a thing! Your calories are so low it probably sped up your metabolism a little!! No harm done!

For real..... Hey are you going to the O or what???? Steve and I are checking on flights right now. Arent you sick of this friggin rain?????? Ahhhhhhhhhh, its making my hair go wild!!

Just for the record I am down about 10-12 pounds.

I need to look good for Vegas, and Mexico in Jan!!! Plenty of time!

Hows it goin Andrea?? where you been?

Posted by: naturaltan

well thank you ...

We've talked about going, but I recently unearthed our pic CD of Jamaica and I'm trying to convince the missus that we should go back. We stayed at Hedonism (the land of nude sun bathing) and had a blast.

Yep, had just about enough of the rain for sure! We are supposed to be camping this weekend and leaving tonight, but we may delay it till tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow and Saturday.

Not sure what kind of accomodations you usually stay at or prefer, but we stayed for 8 days last year. The first half of the week, we stayed at the Excalibur for $50/night. The second half at the Luxor for $109 a night ... and for the amount of time we were in the rooms, I don't know that the extra $59/night was worth it. We used the room, as we have any trip, as a docking station for our suitcases and the place to catch a few hours rest. And with the two hotels (Excalibur/Luxor) connected together by a pedway, you could get the best of both worlds by staying at the Excalibur and eating/gambling/siteseeing at the Luxor if you so chose

You are too cute Jodie.

Well back to clean eating today. No more cheats till my b-day, in August. Also cause the pizza hurt my tummy last night, I was in the washroom a few times. I did look fuller in the gym today, strength was good-scale went up 2 pound but I know its just water, plus I am pmsing. Also, the cheat was good/bad mentally for me. Now I am determined to stay on track.

Posted by: carbchick

yay Jill, turn those carbs into muscle and that cheat into strength. NO GUILT. Guilt raises cortisol and you know where THAT leads

storm ... last night? Opps, I guess I was pretty tired as I didn't hear anything. I was up early yesterday morning (4:00am page) and late the evening just prior (11:30pm page). I was up for work at the normal time (5:45am) and then went to the gym and riding. Got home at about 11:00pm last night, and went right to sleep.

Was it a thunderstorm?

HUGE NT! Lighting, thunder, heavy rain. You must be a heavy sleeper!

I must have been real tired last night.

Posted by: Jill

You must have been cause the thunder was REAL loud.

I dont feel like working at all today. One of our computers crashed, so Im freaking out cause I play on the internet WAY too much here.(we are not supposed to) Turns out the computer was liquid damage.

Ah well, atleast it wasnt cause I downloaded screen savers and shit!
