Sorry life caught a hold of me, BUT I AM BACK

Hey guys, sorry i haven't posted in a while, life happens still looking for work and dealing with alot of family BS. But hey that happens to everyone. and now its time to get back on the " lose my fat ass" wagon.

Ok so as for the greens "healthy trim" they give me this dull headache that i just cant take. i tired taking 2 and one pill, no increase in energy or weight just head ache. bleh! as soon as i am working i will probably go back on the yellows (phentermine). As far as working out does, i had a friend who was an athlete in high school (swimmer a few others too i think) and he is putting me on a work out routine, (i may kill him by the time this is over,,,, if i didn't want him so damn bad lol) Anyway, he wants me to run for an hour every morning. Yea that would kill me so i walk and jog for an hour.. i will build up to running (what he doesn't know he cant hurt me for) and everyday i am suppose to do 2 sets of 20 crunches and the 2 sets of 10 lunges and bicycle crunches, and then 3 invisible chairs until i fall. and then 3 times a week we are suppose to hit a weight room together. mostly to work on arms. I will let you know how it goes. For people without a hunky male friend that you like to drool at enough to actually go to the gym with, you too can get a good workout plan specially for you. You can go to the free trainers web site. Get a free profile and put in your info and get a workout plan. you can pay to upgrade, there are a few extra features if you do that, but i don't see the point. link is at the bottom of this post!

Ok and before i go Christina mentioned her body idol, and she does have a great one, but even if i de fluffy i wont look like that, i have curves, but my body isnt built like that (i have white girl hips and i am only a c cup) so i got to thinking who is my body idol. fuck if i know. So i started googleing curvy actresses to get some ideas.... ummmmm WTF they show Victoria secret models... i didn't google actresses and models with 2% body fat at 35% silicone!!!! lol but then i thought to think of women i have always thought were beautiful and had beautiful bodies... not ones where you could either count the ribs, or strip them down, turn them around and Poof! 12 yr old boy!! and i came up with 2 names. Lucy Lawless and Cathrin Zeta-Jones. Ok now think for a second i know they are both pretty damn skinny, but think of Lucy now, in Spartacus, not in Xena. Now we can see ALL of her in Spartacus and she is beautiful naked, soft curves not scary she muscles lol, both have beautiful flat but not hard tummy's, and soft round thighs and butts. Meh thats what i want. see examples! Cathrin measurements are 34C-25-36

Oh i should add, i dont hope to get to her measurements, I mean she is like 5'6 i am 5'11 sooo yea but i want those curves lucys measurements are 35 1/2C-25-36 1/2 no idea how tall though.

Well i am off to bed! TTFN

The Best News Ever: Red Wine Makes Women Thin!

from TheFrisky.com

For a wino wine lover like me, I just received the best news I could possibly hear. A new, long-term study says that women who drink red wine in moderation stay thinner into middle age. Woo hoo! So I finally have a legit reason to pop the cork on a daily basis. Of the 20,000 women that participated in this study, the red wine drinkers consistently put on less weight than the women who drank white wine, beer, liquor, or no alcohol at all. Why? The theory is that the body processes calories from alcohol differently from calories from food. The livers of regular red wine drinkers develop a separate method of breaking down alcohol, where surplus energy is turned into heat rather than fat. So those calories from your glass of Pinot Noir will get burned off while the calories from your slice of pizza will go directly to your butt. If you weren’t already excited to go out and buy a bottle of liquid dinner, studies also show that red wine can prevent blood clots and heart disease and extend your life expectancy. Cheers to that!

Christina's side effects

So our Healthe Trim finally came in. Maye and I split a bottle so 1 pill a day for 30 days. We decided that a 30 day trial would be ideal before we both spend $60 each on something we might not like.
The point of this blog is to be honest about what we are going through while trying to lose the weight. Brutally honest is our policy. Before we started HT, we were on a weight loss doctor prescribed pill. We call them "The Yellow's". Probably later I will describe what they are but I can't find the bottle right now. So What I'm going to do is tell you my side effects of HT vs. Yellow.
Remember, I'm going to be brutally and sometimes disgustingly honest here...

Breakfast:
Yellow: you had to eat at least a 300 calorie breakfast BEFORE you could take the pill. This was something I had to learn the hard way. The doctor told us we needed to and there is always that one day where you either don't have time to eat or you think "well what's the worst that can happen?" Well, the worst that can happen is severe anxiety. That whole day I didn't eat something first, I had that feeling like my house was burning down or something terrible was happening to someone. I think I called my mom 10 times asking her to drive to my house and make sure it wasn't on fire or my dog wasn't being eaten by a coyote or something. I called my husband every hour making sure he was still alive. I was panic stricken all day and I was miserable. Ever since then, I made sure I ate plenty.
HT: You take your pill, wait 2 to 3 hours, and then eat something. I can't make it past 2 hours before my stomach starts screaming at me to eat something. The first day I took it, I took it late, like around 8am or something. By 10 I was so hungry I was getting grumpy. I can eat a smaller breakfast now. A bowl of cereal will last me a few more hours longer than it would have normally. I don't think my stomach is used to it though because I do feel a little queasy up until the point where I can eat. So now I have to wake up at 7am and take it so I can eat around 9 which is when I normally eat breakfast.

Prenatal vitamins:
Yellow: I could take my prenatal vitamin (which my doctor told me to start taking 1 year before I'm trying to get pregnant) at the same time I took my yellow. This made it easy for me to remember to take them. I felt fine all day.
HT: I most certainly CAN NOT take a prenatal at the same time as a HT. Because the HT already makes me just a little upset to my stomach, the prenatal is too intense. Also because I can't eat breakfast and you need to eat something before you take a vitamin, I was so sick to my stomach that I thought I might hurl all day. It was like having a horrible stomach flu. So I have to wait until lunch to take my vitamin which makes it a little harder to remember to take it.

Bathroom breaks:
Yellow: I couldn't poop. I was miserable. I felt like if I could just do a #2 I would lose so much more weight! I would cramp bad sometimes because I would go a whole 7 days without being able to go to the bathroom. When I could go, it was way less than 7 days worth and it actually hurt to go because it felt like I was crapping rocks. (I told you brutally and disgustingly honest.) No amount of fiber supplements would help me here. I would have to stop taking the yellows for a week and drink endless amounts of black coffee in order for me to feel relieved.
HT: I am in the bathroom 30 minutes after taking this pill and I'm in there for about 20 minutes. I am not able to take a pill and immediately take Murray (my corgi) for a walk because by the time we get around the block I have to run home and to the bathroom. This is where waking up early helps though. If I have to be somewhere in the morning, I know to wake up 2 hours early so that I can have crap time and not run late because of it.

Appetite
Yellow: I ate breakfast and that was all I needed all day to feel full. I would have to force myself to eat because the only way I could tell I should be hungry is that I would turn into a super bitch. I think once I snapped and started yelling at file folder. In order for me not to murder my husband or him to murder me, I needed to remember to at least eat something small so that I would go back to normal.
HT: I'm still hungry but not as much. I can still eat a Healthy Choice meal and be fine. My stomach will growl and let me know it's time to have lunch or dinner.

Sleep
Yellow: I couldn't.
HT: not a problem.
