I'm not feeling so hot today...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 247.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 72.0

I'm not feeling so hot today...I've injured my right ankle a couple of weeks ago. I've been taking Aleve everyday until I read the side effects. Like I need a hole in my stomach along with cancer. No thank you. I wanted to continue walking 7 miles until the end of the month but I can't do it anymore. I can't take the pain anymore so I'm going take it slow the next few days. I still going to do my 3-mile walk. I've adjusted my meal plan according, so no more double meat or peanut butter sandwiches.

So I had my first piece of chicken today in over a month. It was so good; I seasoned it with salt, pepper, and olive oil spray. I was a tad disappointed about my portion. It was 4oz raw and shrunk to 2.75oz. I need more meat. :-/

I don't think I'm going to make my first goal on this Sunday. My goal was to be 240 lbs, I think I'll probably be 245 lbs. I know that's not too much off but I wanted to be under my goal. Well, there's always next month.

I joined two challenges on myfitnesspal, one is lose 15 pounds by Thanksgiving and they other is lose 20 pounds by Christmas. I hope I can achieve this goals. Actually, I hope I can loose more. I've never been a patient person. I need instant gratification. I use to not have a problem loosing weight before but of course I was starving myself. Once, I took 3 weeks off from work to lose weight. I would go to the gym and burn 500 calories on the treadmill and then come home and only eat 600 calories. If I was hungry I would go to sleep. I lost 30 lbs.

I'm so glad I know how to embed videos now so I can share this commercial for the multivitamin I use. This is exactly how it makes me feel. LOL.



Speaking of vitamins, there's a new article from helloheathy on vitamins & minerals, check it out.

In honor of Throwback Thursday

I feel bad...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.2 lbs
 Goal Weight: 185.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 64.2 lbs

I feel bad about not walking 7 miles on Wednesday so I decided to walk 9 miles today and tomorrow to make up for the lost 4 miles. I planning on going to First Landing State Park on Saturday and walk the Cape Henry trail (6.1 miles) in additional to the 9 miles. So I should have a total of 21 miles tomorrow, almost a marathon. Wish me luck.

I increased my meat intake to make up for some of the calories I burned, still not enough though. Reading through the forums on MyFitnessPal, a lot people recommend eating peanut butter to make up the calories. Peanut butter is a great source of protein and it contains good fat so I'll get some tomorrow. I found a company, Justin's; they make an assortment of nut butters: Chocolate Hazelnut, Vanilla Almond, Maple Almond, Classic Almond, Honey Almond, Chocolate Almond, Honey Peanut, and Classic Peanut. They can be purchase at Kroger or online. Just thinking about some Honey Peanut Butter makes me want to go to the store now, you know what, I think I will go now. ;-)

UPDATE: Kroger didn't have Justin's Honey Peanut Butter, actually they look like they don't even carry Justin's as per their Justin's website, so I brought The Bee's Knees by Peanut Butter & Co. It's pretty good. I also brought some Nature's Own 40 Calorie Honey Wheat Bread. According to hellohealthy, bread should have 1g of fiber for every 10g of carbohydrates. Nature's Own 40 Calorie Honey Wheat has 6g of fiber to 19 carbohydrates per serving (2 slices). Honey wheat bread and honey peanut butter--that's good eating right there.
