2 full months

Well, let me start off by saying that Easter was not very nice to me. Not very nice at all. It all started when I just a boy growing up on the farm...oh, that's for a different blog, my bad! lol

Anyways..

I was doing awesome all week! On Friday morning, I decided  to weigh myself and I was down to 303! I know, I'm awesome! I had lost 3 pounds in the week, I was so proud! Well, that's when trouble started...

I got off from work early on Friday, because Renee and I had to meet up with some friends for some Painting with a Twist! It wasn't much of a twist, but it was fun. It was also my first time doing it. I put on a shirt that I hadn't worn in a good 5 months and the last time i wore it, it looked like that buttons were trying to pop off. It looked kinda like the picture below.

It had fit almost perfectly! I was so proud of myself! The buttons even stayed where they were supposed to when I sat down even!

 So, we sat down and started painting and with in a few moments the entire room was laughing and having fun. I then decided to do my Bob Ross impression and everyone around us was laughing. It was a high light of the night, well that and how every one was singing to the songs that we being pumped through out the place. Below is a picture of our fishes.

So, we left there and went to a  bad place and got some food that was not in our diets, but it was late and we didn't really want to cook when we got home.

Saturday came around and we worked on the chicken coop, then for lunch, I had a smoothie and for dinners we had tacos.

Sunday came and that's when it got real bad. I wont go into details, but I gained 2 pounds back, so I am only down 1 pound instead of my 3.

Get ready for the 2 month pictures..

Weigh in time!

Well, that is it for this post, so...

Till next time, keep on adventuring!

I think I can I think I can...

I KNOW I CAN!!

I am going to keep this post short like normal, but maybe a little shorter than that.

I am changing up the food for the week and going to see how that works for me. I only lost 1 pound last week.

It's okay! I still lost something, that's still good right? YES IT IS! So be happy for me! A loss is still a loss!

So, this week for breakfast, I'm sticking to the egg sandwich thingy, but we added some spinach to it, which its purty dang tasty! Kinda taste like a sandwich from Subway, which I love. The total amount of sugar in the breakfast is only 2g! Piece of Cake!(Mmmmm, cake.....*homer drool* Just kidding!)

For lunch, I am going to be eating some hot links(made by Earl Campbell, they are YUM YUM!!) on a tortilla. The tortilla has 0 sugars and the hot links has 4g for 2 links. So a total of 6g of sugar for the day so far, not bad at all!

Our weekly meals has been planned around a 25g of sugar or less for the day. So for dinners, we tried to come up with low sugar and low calorie meals that taste good and is good for us. Portion sizes are still being consumed.

We use to get those yogurts that are "Whipped" or the "Mousse" types cause they were low calories. We soon realized that low calories does not always mean low sugar. 10g of sugars!! 10! Well, that was putting us over our count of sugars and we didn't even realize it!

So we cut out the yogurts and went to fruit!

Time for the weigh in!

Feeling Great!

Okay, so let's get one thing straight here. I may not be looking slimmer or whatever, but I feel great!

Today at work, I was constantly running around grabbing this and that for customers. Climbing ladders putting stuff away and pushing and pulling large pallets around the warehouse and I really didn't feel tired at all!

I can't believe all the energy I have now thanks to Plexus Boost! I feel almost as if I am back in high school, it's just amazing! I even actually jogged a few times in the store!

So, I changed up my breakfast a little bit. I went from eating my Quaker Chewy Granola Bar to eating an toasted egg sandwich. Might be a little more in calories, but it is 1/2 the sugar! I am burning almost 1,000 calories from just work if not more! So I'm not as worried about them as I am the sugars.

I'm still eating my salads or my little fruit trays and dinners are still low sugar, medium calorie meals. It's all about the portion control!

Well, I'm gonna keep it nice and short again. Its time for the weigh in!!

Starting Weight:    330

Current Weight:    307

I only lost a pound this past week, but every little bit counts! I believe that I am finally starting to develop some of my muscles and that might be why I didn't lose as much weight as I have been.

Well, that is it for this post, so...

Till next time, Keep on adventuring! 

7 weeks down!

It is hard to believe that 7 weeks ago, Renee and I started out on this Plexus adventure. It has been an awesome 7 weeks too!

To believe that in almost 2 months time, I have lost a grand total of 22 pounds! I know that I could of lost more weight than that if I had exercised all this time, but I think that the slower i take it, the easier it will be to keep off.

Last week was killer! I got a compliment that I was starting to look a little slimmer(which is a great feeling, even for a guy) and Baylynn had her little rodeo fair thing at her school. My boss being as awesome as he is, let me off early so I could attend her Rodeo Run! My little girl is not the smallest of girls, but she gave it her all! She ran/walked 8 laps!

It wasn't a huge track, but it wasn't very small either. The 8 laps that we did do, was pretty tiring. Baylynn came out with her class, got in line and off they went!

Renee took the first lap and they ran the entire thing! Then it was my turn....

Baylynn and I ran about 3/4 of it and that is when she said "Can we walk daddy?". So we started walking.

So, after all the laps were done and the dust settled, Renee and I went to smoothie king, and then to the house for a little R and R for the night to come, it was the Rodeo Fair!

So, my week was pretty good. Kept eating the same foods and I keep loosing the weight!

Well, Weigh in time!

Another One Bites The Dust!

ITS MONDAY!! Who is as excited as I am? No one? Well, that's okay, I'm not excited about it either. Its Monday! What is there to get excited about right?

Well, there is one thing to get excited about....My Weigh In!!

Only 3 pounds gone from this week, but it is all about the baby steps right?

So, last week I keep the same breakfast, lunch and dinner routine going. So, nothing new to report on that front.

We upped our intake to the amount that we are suppose to be, and I added a new one called Boost.

Plexus Boost is an alternative companion to Plexus Slim, formulated to energize your life! Let me tell y'all something, It works!

I know! You must be as shocked as Batman there, but I am proof. With just the slim and the Bio we were taking, I still wasn't feeling the energy like I was suppose to. That could of been due to my weight? My immune to energy boosts? I do not know, but with Boost, I don't feel nearly as tired anymore and I make it through the day without wanting to take a nap.

 Now, tonight's dinner

Dinner tonight was AWESOME! I am going to post a link down below so y'all can make it, we changed it up a little bit, as in we didn't add the peppers and we added turkey bacon. We also used turkey breakfast sausage instead of pork to also cut calories and we also did not put any pasta sauce like it calls for.

Zucchini Boats

Well, I am going to keep this post pretty short like the rest of them, but y'all really need to try this stuff, I am not a huge fan of zucchini, but this was just, good!

Okay, Weigh in time!

One Month and going strong!

Okay, so...one month gone,,,and well....

17 LBS GONE TOO!! That is a little over 2 gallons of water or milk or better yet....FAT!!

You won't believe how much better I feel, I may not look it yet, but I feel it and feeling it is the first step! Remember, got to learn to crawl before you can walk.

So, last week my breakfast consisted of a Quaker Chewy Granola bar.

Then for my lunches, all I had was an Crunch Pak and a Nature Vally Oats N Honey Bar.

Then for dinner, it was really whatever we had to eat, but portion sized and not super sized jumbo plates of food like I was eating.

Now I know some of you are looking at the Quaker and Nature Valley and yelling at me, "They are full of sugars!!!" I know this, but I can't cut out sugars completely, and when I am not taking any in from anywhere else, it kinda equals out to the amount I need for the day.

Now, on to yesterday...the dreaded Birthday party....Bum BUM BUMMM!

Was there cake? Yes there was...

Was I offered a slice of yummy/delicious looking cake? Yes I was...

Did I have a slice of said cake? No I did not!

Score one for me!! 

Plexus has helped me with curving my appetite and I had the will power to say no! Well, I said No Thank you, but still...

Okay, I'm sorry to have to do this to y'all, but it is time for 1 month pictures.....EEK! I know I know!

I know, it doesn't look like I lost anything, but I still feel better. That's what counts first right?

Well, its the time again, Yep! Weigh in Time!

Wake up call

Well, the sign says it all.

This morning I had a nice little wake up call from this past week and weekend, when I stepped on the scale and saw that my weight had not changed at all.

Talk about a slap to the face. All last week all I ate was healthy foods. Drank nothing but water and I still did't loose a single pound.

Now, with that being said, I probably did loose 2-3 pounds, but because of Friday.....we went to the movies to see the new Deadpool movie and It was amazing!!

Me on the other hand? Not so much....On our way to the movies, we stopped at McDonald's and got 2 grilled chicken sandwiches(1 each), no fries or drinks, I thought it wasn't too bad for us. So off we went!

The theater we went to has a bar and we were an hour and a half early for the movie. Grab a drink? Why not! It's our Celebration day! To resist the temptations of the delicious looking fried goodies they had, we opted to split a VERY lightly dressed Caesar salad and then after we finished drink #1, we were thirsty still, so we ordered drink #2. While drinking drink #2, we gazed down on the people below us eating Gelato. We had never had Gelato, and it was our celebrations day, so, we split 2 scoops. And then it was time for the movie, so we went to the concession stand to grab a small popcorn and waters. They did not have a small popcorn. WHAT THEATER DOESN'T HAVE A SMALL POPCORN?! But, it was our celebration day, so we opted to split the regular sized one. We didn't finish the bag, but we got close to it.

I know what your thinking, why did you do that? why did you give in?

Well, to be honest, I thought I had been doing so good during the week, that a little splurging on valentine's day wouldn't hurt me. I guess I thought wrong on that one.

Well, that's gonna be it for this post so here is my weekly weigh in!

Starting Weight: 330

Current Weight: 319

Goal Weight:     200

I will not let myself go astray again! I Will and I Can do this!!

Till next time! Keep on adventuring!
