Nothing much to report. Weight is holding. My body suddenly went into that......' WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME???? ' Mode, so I continue to eat my neg cal foods, drink tons of water, stick to my original plan and hope that my body will continue to release the weight after it realizes I'm NOT going to let it hold on to it any longer.

My cal intake was actually in the negatives yesterday. On losit.com, they count neg cal foods as positives for your daily intake. Its fine, however, I did so much outside yesterday I burned off everything I took in and more. I did the GNC lean shakes.......one for breakfast and again for dinner. They are 180 cals each, making it a positive intake of 360 cals. I burned every  bit of it off using the push mower in our big fenced in garden area.

Basically it looks something like this:

GNC lean shakes: +360 cals

Mowing the lawn with a push mower for 1 hour = -381 cals

Eat 10 sugar snap peas from the garden: 14 cals

Eat 1/2 c raw baby carrots: 35 cals, but they're negative cals. Burns more to chew & digest than is in them.

Folding laundry for 1 hr 15 minutes: -218 cals

Water intake: at LEAST 90 oz

Grand total for cals: -190 cals

I know the - cal final total is lower than that, because the carrots for sure are neg cal...but I didn't have time to find the exact burn they give. It won't be long, the veggies in my garden will also be ripe, so I can feast on those as well.....while continuing to lose the weight.

Though I was in the negative, my weight did not change. I'm going to ensure it will give in. Today I might take the boys swimming. That also should burn off the cals, as I am always treading water in the shallows while they run around splashing. C is at my sisters for the week. She was begging to leave so she could get a break from her brothers. hahaha

I hope to lose at least another 1-2 lbs before hubby comes home...he was suppose to come home last night, but instead chose to keep going so he could unload whats on his rig. He hopes to get home tonight, but fears they might send him down the road again. They usually re-load the drivers on Thursdays. He might go down the road for another 2 weeks if they reload him. It will give me plenty of time to drop more weight before he returns. I'm down 7 in a week, so I can't complain much. Most people only lose 2lbs in a week.....I'd say I'm ahead of the game for now. This is why my body is screaming 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!'

Time will tell what happens. I'm certain I'll drop it again soon.

7-19-2011 START WT: 184.6 (EEEEW! I FEEL SO GROSS!)

7-25-2011 WT: 177.6 (Fine with ME! Another pound down! Loving this GNC WT loss plan I put together!)  

So, for the 2 weeks hubby was home, he ensured I ate with him at nearly every meal. This was havoc on my weight by the time he left. He was thrilled as he marvel at the sight of my 'curves'. He was smiling from eat to ear, then made the comment, "So I guess I better get a few more long looks of you right now as you are........because I know very well when I get back, you'll be back to losing weight again...."

Sure enough, he's been gone for 2 weeks, and on July 19th I started some GNC stuff........and the weight is coming off.

So.........gross as it is...........here's the current week of stats since starting on the GNC stuff:

7-19-2011 WT: 184.6 START WEIGHT DAY BEFORE I BEGIN MY PLAN.

7-20-2011 WT: 184.0 (Less than thrilled at the little loss, but "I will continue" I thought to myself.)

7-21-2011 WT: 183.4 (Okay......a little more down....good deal.....Continuing was a good thing.)

7-22-2011 WT: 180.4 (Woah! I can totally handle this kind of loss!)

7-23-2011 WT: 180.6 (9 a.m. WHAT!? Really?)

7-23-2011 WT: 179.0 @ 9 p.m. (LESS @ NIGHT THAN MORNING? I'M TOTALLY LOVIN' THIS!)

7-24-2011 WT: 178.6 (Hmmm still losing? Suppressed appetite......Very doable!)

7-25-2011 WT: 177.6 (Fine with ME! Another pound down! Loving this GNC WT loss plan I put together!) 

Total WT down: 7 lbs 7 days......... the first day was my weight before starting the following day.

Like I said, gross as it is, I posted current stats. I weigh more now than I did 5 months pregnant with my last son. *Sigh* I'm working on getting back into my 7/8's again though....*Smiling*

Stepped on the scale this morning and was less than pleased to see I was up .2 of a pound from yesterday morning, however, after a full day today, I mustered up the courage to step on the scale in the evening..........and discovered I'm down 1.6lbs tonight from this morning! Totally loving it!

Down 4.2 lbs in three days. The stuff from GNC seems to be helping.

My stomach is empty & growling right now............I'm smiling...........

Fabulous night with the kids. All 3 are passed out in Cheyanne's room now. They should be after running in the moon light for an hour laughing.... They came in shouting, "THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT EVER!!! JUST WISH DAD WAS WITH US!"  He's on the road of course. They loved their s'mores though!

Ever had a friend that you were very close to......get you so annoyed you just want to distance yourself from them? UGH. I'm so tired of being the 'friend' everyone pulls out of their pocket when they NEED or WANT something, then they disappear & don't talk to you again until the next time they need or want something from me.

Why can't I have just ONE BEST FRIEND that is a TRUE best friend. One that says "I'm going to........." and actually follows through with what they say they'll do? Or ONE FRIEND that calls me just 'because' they want to chat.......NOT because they want SOMETHING from me?

I'm so sick of being used & tossed aside. Maybe I was RIGHT for making my MOTHER and husband the only 2 TRUE best friends in my life..........

What is orthorexia? Identified in 1997 by Colorado physician Steven Bratman, MD, orthorexia is Latin for “correct eating.” Here, too, the focus isn’t on losing weight. Instead, sufferers increasingly restrict their diets to foods they consider pure, natural and healthful. Some researchers say that orthorexia may combine a touch of obsessive compulsive disorder with anxiety and warn that severely limited “healthy” diets may be a stepping stone to anorexia nervosa, the most severe - and potentially life-threatening - eating disorder.

I guess if you eat 'healthy' you now have an eating disorder too. I now suffer from ORTHOREXIA instead of anorexia or bulimia. It's always something isn't it?
