why FTM is the BEST......

Ladies & Gents:

Today was a milestone day. 

I had to be CLIPPED in a dress!! So I went dress shopping, and the sample sizes fit! That is HUGE! Not only that, I actually looked leaner.

It's all thanks to FTM.

To continue this wonderful shopping day. I tried on a pair of shorts at Banana Republic, that at the beg of summer I couldn't even zip. They were tight in the thighs...super gross.

Tonight, they fit PERFECTLY. Sat right at the hips and loose in the legs!!!!!

ANNNNNNNNNNND the skinny jeans.

Let us talk about the skinny jeans. The same skinny jeans that my gut would hang over..they would only fit me if I wore them under my gut people.

Last night, I felt adventurous. I pulled them on to wear to dinner, and they fit. Not only did they fit. The GUT didn't hang over the waistband.

I have not been this excited to go clothes shopping in a REALLY long time.

Thank you FTM for being the best teacher. I will continue to work hard.

moody

This is my mood girl. Vent-fest post.

I'm super emotional lately, and I have not had candy or dessert in over a month. Popsicles don't count. 

Here is what annoys me:

- The amount of people who in the past week have reminded me that FTM's last day is Friday. Thanks people I'm not stupid. 

-People who try to force you to buy stuff when you tell them you're not interested. Why are you trying to sell me supps/bars when you KNOW I have a trainer who can sell me them?!

That being said. I'm trying to not let fear overtake me. I'm just really scared that I'm gonna fall of the wagon in the next few months, and I cannot let myself...

I really am gonna stay strong. I'll blog daily, and just stick with what FTM taught me.

Anyway, tomorrow is the last training session til December. It will be a GREAT one.

Making lunch a total of 325!!

Ok it felt like it was a lot more than that, but it does put me at: 719 for the day.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT.....

FTM IS SO RIGHT.

I am sitting at my desk and had to blog this. I skipped my morning snack, mostly because I am sick of cheese.

And I realized why I am so quick to skip snacks. It's cuase these calorie goals are big goals.

Sure I can go get a burger and fries and be done for the day, but it's not smart.

You called our Candi-Land yesterday, and yeah I will fess up. Eating "that much" scares me because I don't want to gain weight.

Like, I understand the concept of eating more to get the metabolism working, but it's annoying and frustrating.

I need snack ideas that will not result in high cholestrol cause I'm eating cheese or eggs.

275...a little closer

I fully deserve getting yelled at. I do. I am getting closer to my calorie goal but not quite hitting it.

Breakfast today: 275 calories

3 pieces of turkey sausage @ 120
1/2 cup yogurt @ 55
1/4 cup granola @100

Snack: ummm yeah so about that...

Lunch:
Sandwich (185)
Cucumbers (o)

total for day: 460

Snack: banana @ 90

total: 550

sunday funday

and boy was it fun :-D

I got home from dinner late. Went to bed after 2. Woke up at 6ish so I can meet FTM. 

I stopped at starbucks to get a breakfast sandwich and managed to eat 1/4 of it by the time I go to FTM.

The workout.....killed. It was fun and crazy and nuts. But it felt so good. I tried to eat the rest ofthe sandwich afterwards, but I felt like puking. So in FTM's famous word "negatory" on the foodage.

After church I had one greek tea cookie and 4 cubes of cantelope. 

Brunch: everyone feasted on omlets and bread and cupcakes...I had a slice of toast with some light cream cheese, and a juice glass of oj.

Snack: negatory

Dinner: cucumber, a whole ear of corn, salad, a piece of bread with butter & 3 potato wedges

Snack: pocorn

I know I over did it with the carbs today, but I also got in some swimming time.

saturday rut

I hat Saturdays. I eat way bad.

I didn't have breakfast til late, but I remembered the vites. So I get bonus points right?

I had some PB and toast for breakfast, and then skipped snack because I was out shopping with my cousin. I got home and made some sweet potato fries w/a slice of cheese for lunch, and now I am getting ready to go out to dinner with my cousin and some friends from Canada.

I worked out sorta. I swam, and then I did scap pushups against the ledge of the pool..
