This update is rather quick. Today I had a lazy day. I had trouble sleeping last night, so I didn’t end up going to bed until 11am this morning. I woke up at 5pm. I plan on going to bed around 10pm tonight. Sometimes my back pain causes me to have problems sleeping, I’m getting used to it.

Today I don’t plan on eating really anything, I’m trying to set myself up for a fast of some kind. I’m not sure yet if I’m going to do a water fast or a juice fast, but I feel like I need one. Today I’ve had 3 bananas, and some lemon water. Yeah, honestly, that’s it. I might end up having more water, and I have some strawberries I’m thinking about eating, but not sure.

If you have any experiences or suggestions when it comes to fasting, let me know.

My weight (surprisingly) went down to 253.2 from 254.6, so I’m happy about that. After consuming probably (I’m not kidding) 6,000 calories yesterday, I figured I’d gain two pounds.

My cron images, my weight charts, etc. Will take awhile to start uploading again. So during my semi-temp hiatus I’ll be transferring all my files from one computer to another, and what not.

Temporary Hiatus

Hey everyone! Sorry about my disappearance. Lately I’ve been enjoying time with my family.

Due to some issues with the internet I’ve been gone. I’ve decided to get a new internet service. I won’t get it until the 17th, so until then I doubt I will be posting much of anything, I have big periods of sporadic connection. I have also been gone due to me getting a new computer, and getting adjusted to it.

On the bright side, when I “return” with more solid connection to the interwebz, I plan on doing more video blogging. I’ve been trying to overcome my fear of rejection, and low self-esteem, partly by the blog. I feel taking it to the next step would only benefit me. I have had a few people post, and mail me about this, so be careful what you ask for! Right now, with this slow internet, posting videos is a LONG process, this my new high-speed cable connection (on the 17th) it should be painless.

Enough of that.

So if you’re wondering, I have actually gained a few pounds. I was at 254 again this morning, and I binged out on some cookies earlier so I’
m sure I’ll go back to 255. The sad part is, I do not know WHY I eat like that, I only know its hard to control. I know it’s all mentally connected, I have considered prayer, among other things, so help resolve this. Ultimately I know the only way to do such, would be self-control/ will power.

I have also recently gotten an Excalibur dehydrator that I will be reviewing for you soon. I also plan on reviewing my old nesco dehyrdrator for those who cannot afford the Excalibur (they start at $120.00 for the smallest one). I also plan on reviewing my food processor, as well as a few other items I have in my house, just takes time.

Right now I am mainly working on transferring all my information from 3 computers into my new one, as well as an external hard drive. It just takes time. Until then you can pick over my old posts. Sorry if this post wasn’t that entertaining but I needed to let my followers know I hadn’t up and disappeared!

Thanks,
Jamie

I was slacking

Hey everyone, sorry I haven’t posted in a while. My weight has flucuatd and I’ve just been taking time off for myself. A few days ago I bought a one year subscription to my local ymca which has a great workout room, and a large pool. Yesterday I spent 30 minutes doing treadmill, another 15 minutes doing the machines. I then spent 15 minutes swimming, and 10 minutes in the hot tub to relax. Today I “speed walked” .25 mile on the treadmill, .6 mile on tread climber, I walked .25 miles on the track, did the abs machine for 3 minutes at 95lbs, swam around with my step son for 30 minutes, waded in the pool for about an hour, and spent a total of 15 minutes in the hot tub.

Went shopping yesterday, got lots of fresh fruits/veggies. I’m very happy because my husband is now mostly raw with me, I call him my banana man. (lol)

Tomorrow ill go back to weighing myself. So far ive had a glass of orange juice, a small glass of grapefruit juice, 2 bananas, and 2 crumpets.

I’m good at guessing, sorta

So yesterday I said I wanted popcorn… well (un)lucky for me I had some left, and ended up eating the whole bag right before bed. I knew I was going to gain weight, so I honestl’y wasn’t surprised when the scale said I was up .6 lbs this morning, I’m okay with that. I’m sure I’ll get it off in the next couple days, I plan on rearranging my apartment so exercise indoors is more fesable.

As far as food goes I could have done better, but at the end of the month with no real food left, and not much money left, Its okay. I had 2 bananas this morning with about 16fl ounces of grapefruit juice. Then After a few hours I had 3 tacos with lots of lettuce and black olives.

Really nothing special. I might go up to 254 tomorrow from all the tacos, but thats okay. I know when I make choices to eat foods that probably won’t make me lose weight, I risk gaining some back. Maybe that sounds sad, but honestly its not. I enjoyed my tacos!
