Rant about Atkins

Week 5!

September 29 - October 5, 2014

First couple of week on Atkins

The weekend, 1 week down!

Friday- Today was easy.. no headache no complaints.. BUT I did eat a naked cupcake. If you didn't know.. I have a cupcake business. I have to try the cake every once in a while to see if its good. 

Don't yell at me.. I felt bad though.. at least I did put frosting on it!! 

Tomorrow will be ONE week!!!

Breakfast: 2 eggs cheese and sausage

Lunch: Cheese stick, celery sticks and pork rinds

Dinner: 2 pieces of flounder and broccoli 

Saturday- 1 week!!! This has been a long week, OMG! But I did pull through. I lost 4.4lbs!!!! (round of applause) Feeling great and accomplished. All the headaches I had.. I'm so glad I stuck it out. On to week 2!

Tonight I have a birthday party to attend and temptation will definitely show its face tonight. #STRESS!

Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with cheese and leftover broccoli and 3 pieces of bacon

Lunch: A large bowl of salad

Dinner: 2 bacon McDoubles w/o the bread and bacon. They forgot my bacon after I paid $2 more for it!!

Attending a birthday party... 

Sunday- Soooo... I had a good time at the party last night.. BUT.. yup, there is a but! I ATE!!!! They had chicken wings (good) meatballs (somewhat good) tuna pasta salad (BAD) beans and meat (BAD) chips n dip (BAD) liquor (BAD). The ONLY thing that was good for me was the chicken wings and I only had 3 of them.. everything else I ATE.. and it was sooo good but sooo bad!! :( 

I guess I was so happy with -4.4lbs lost I treated myself.. Not good.

I decided that Atkins is HARD and from the week that I just had (headaches).. I dont think it is right for me.. as in being STRICTLY atkins.. so what I will do is add Black Girls Workout Too into my journey. This adds fruits and the other veggies to my list of allowed foods. Still no white carbs which I am fine with... let's see how this works.

I will also be adding exercise. I've been doing squats at night using my bed pole and I feel it a little. That's good!!

Breakfast: 2 eggs cheese and salmon

Lunch: 2 Deviled eggs :(

Dinner: I dont know what I was thinking when I made this.. but I'm glad my mind was 2 steps ahead!!! It was delicious. I sauteed some brussel sprouts and added some breakfast sausage, chicken and a egg with onions.

Yesterday was BAD!!

1/20/14-

I was feeling ok until I took a cat nap around 1pm.. after that my head was hurting!! I should have never took that nap but I have my baby cousin and when he sleeps... I sleep!!

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Celery sticks, cream cheese and some chicken

Dinner:

Fried fish o_O I took fish out to eat and my mother cooked it, but FRIED all the pieces...

Breakfast:

Chicken

Lunch:

Celery sticks and tuna fish

Dinner: Broccoli and chicken with mayo and cheese

Stuck all day with Temptation!

Omg, so this weekend is the Labor Day holiday. I have been doing good all week until today (sun) ! I was asked if I wanted to go to some 'House in the park' event today, for 9am until like 9pm... 12 freaking hours! And I am NOT a outdoors person. So anyway I declined, which means I was stuck home, without a vehicle. Oh did I mentioned FOOD also! Now don't get me wrong... There is food in this house, but not the food my body should be around.. alone... for +12 hours! And theres no sign of the 'good' food I should be eating! Reason: I went food shopping over 2wks ago... That sh!t is gone! So everything and I mean EVERYTHING is looking tempting.. I'm getting weak, a headache and I start shaking cause the eggs that I ate wasn't enough to hold me all day. They made fried chicken, mac & cheese and beans! Now what would you have done in this situation? Hopefully not the same thing I'm about to tell you!

I ate that crap.. but I didn't over do it. I ate enough to satisfying for then.. Then I went back for dinner! I messed up guys.. and I feel bad. So now, I'm gonna wake up early and go for my morning walk. Oh and tomorrow I weigh in... #stress! Hopefully there's a slight difference.

Anyway the moral of this post, is to ALWAYS have a stack of the 'good' around!

The "2"

I am tired of trying to do both.. my mind aka myself obviously is not capable of completing both task. What task do you ask?? Exercising & Eating right aka on a meal plan. I have tried countless of weeks to try and incorporate the "2" in my life together, at the same time.. NOT HAPPENING! Either I go hard and do one and forget about the other or vice verse. Why?? what is wrong with me. I start going to the gym like crazy and walking outside, then I forget to eat or I don't eat the right things (don't get me wrong, I cut fast foods and A LOT of breads, pastas, rice etc out. Down to maybe 1 serving a week) or I eat right, follow a meal plan and when its time to eat I have it ready and my clock goes off. When I was going to the gym and walking, I lost more weight. When I ate right I saw my belly fat going down.(due to PROTEIN!!! the fat blaster! lol) I realized that I can do the eating right better because when im out and about I either have my snack with me or I pick up something lite, but when it comes to exercise and im out, its hard to find the time. But I loved the gym!!! Someone help! lol make my body do both. I know it is possible, and I will see MORE results.. anyone else has this issuse of the "2"?

Temptation @ its BEST!

I have been baking all DAY!!! I have a cupcake company (Top-It, A Cupcake Bar) and I received orders for about 30 something 'Cupcake Bar in a Jar™'.

We all love to like the bowl (temp 1) cause I know I do. When you make a product aka a cupcake, you HAVE to taste it (temp 2) to know that its good to serve. ugh! Some people like sweet frosting, while others love it not too sweet, have to make sure u please everyone (temp 3) with the perfect sweetness. I have orders for Strawberry (temp 4) Shortcakes, Oreo (temp 5) Heaven, Rated "R" Crunch (R=rum/ temp 6) & A Classic Birthday (it has sprinkles/ temp 7). What is a girl to do?? I cant close up shop lol.. NEVER!! but I have to control. I was told to taste and spit with out swallowing :/ (PG people P.G.!) Maybe I should do that. Anyway don't go to the site, cause Temptation is a B!TCH! I will be testing out HEALTHIER versions!

Oreo Heaven

Strawberry Shortcake

 P.s Today is DEFINITELY not 'A Piece of Cake!'

Lousy

Since I started this blog.. about 3 freaking weeks ago, I only lost 3lbs!! WTF. Without the blog I was losing that in a week! What is wrong with my body?? Better yet ME! I'm the one doing it, Right? I guess im spending too much time on eating right and not doing my workout like I was in the beginning of the year, b.t.b (before this blog) I have to get back to my routine and still incorporate my eating habits that I've gain.. all in one! I know it can be done. It is possible. I just don't think my brain is comprehending that it has to do BOTH! lol ugh At the same damn time.
