Week 16 Weigh-In

Weight (pounds):

SW: 263
CW: 208
GW: 150

Last Week: 209.5
Current Loss: 1.5
Total Lost: 55


Ok 1.5 lbs may not be that impressive, but it's still a loss nonetheless, so I'll take it lol. 55 lbs down now - woo hoo! I haven't been exercising much at all lately. It's not easy to find the time, but I'm not even going to use that excuse because I could find some time somewhere to get some in, but I haven't been doing that. Needless to say, I need to work on that.

I also need to work on getting more sleep. Lack of sleep doesn't help with weight loss, I'll tell you that. I wasn't a coffee drinker until I started working overnight. So confession time ... I either drink a Starbucks Double Shot or a large cup of coffee with lots of cream and sugar when I can't have the Starbucks. When you're about to fall asleep at work well you do what you have to do with what you have available at the time to make sure you don't.

So that's my update. Sharing joy and dissappointment this week. I'm glad to have seen a loss all things considering, so I am happy about that. I'll keep working on it!

Goal for next week ... lose at least 2 lbs and get in some more exercise!

Week 15 Weigh-In

Weight (pounds):

SW: 263
CW: 209.5
GW: 150

Last Week: 213
Current Loss: 3.5
Total Lost: 53.5


Back to losing again ... woo hoo! Found out that that my pics are gone *sigh*. I managed to find one before pic to use that managed to be saved on a disk. The rest that I was going to use somehow disappeared when my husband transferred the hard drive over to the new computer. The folders are all there where the pics are supposed to be but many of the folders are empty now, and we don't know why. So that's very disappointing, not just because my pics are gone, but because many are gone, and of course pics can't be replaced. He tried to burn a cd of them before the switch, but the computer wouldn't recognize our cd burner. We've had some major issues with the computer here lately if you couldn't tell. As I said, very disappointing, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.

On a more positive note ... getting closer and closer to ONEderland *yay*. In a few weeks I should be there!

Week 14 Weigh-In

Weight (pounds):

SW: 263
CW: 213
GW: 150

Last Week: 213
Current Loss: 0
Total Lost: 50


I weighed in yesterday, but I didn't get around to posting it then, but here it is now.

I maintained this week, and I'm actually very happy about that. It was a rough week, and I went way off track, but I got back on track at the end of the week and did 2 cleanse days to help get rid of all the nasties I put into my body. That helped a lot, and I managed to not gain any weight, which I have managed not to do any since being on this program. This is only the second time in 14 weeks that I have only maintained, and both of these times were around PMS or that TOM. Those are the most difficult times for me, and this past week it really hit me hard, but I still came out alright in the end. Next week I'll be a loser again, I'm sure :).

Chocolate Lovers Endulge!

A friend of mine was telling me one day about this product called VitaMuffins which is supposed be some great tasting muffin packed with loads of vitamins. So I went to company website to find out more about this VitaMuffin, and here are some things I found:

Taste - winner of the American Tasting Institute's "Award of Excellence"
Nutrition - fortified with 15 vitamins and minerals
Control - only 80-100 calories per 2-oz serving
Health - high in fiber (4-7g), with fat-free or low-fat... and they're kosher
Satisfaction - leaves you feeling full and satisifed
Peace of mind - all natural; no artificial additives or preservatives

Four varieties choose from: BlueBran, CranBran, MultiBran, AppleBerryBran, Deep Chocolate, Low-Carb/Sugar-Free BananaNut and Velvety chocolate, VitaBrownie, and Double Chocolate Dream.

Alrighty, well that sounded pretty good, and hey they even tell you about how great they taste and there are even some testimonials about them, but the questions was ... would I like them? I had to see for myself. Oh let me add in here now, I am not an affiliate or paid anything for sharing this information.

I did not order from the website, I found a store locally that sells a few of the products. I decided to give the Deep Chocolate Muffins a try.



Some facts about these particular muffins (2 oz Deep Chocolate):

* 100 calories
* 6g fiber
* 4g protein
* 98% fat free
* 15 vitamins and minerals
* eating 2 a day provides 100% RDA of 10 vitamins and minerals!

And guess what ... they are delicious! I didn't expect them to taste as good as they do, but I love them. In fact, I had my 2 today, and I quite enjoyed them, and they are surprisingly quite filling for their size. Plus, this is a healthy way to satisfy those chocolate cravings and get those vitamins in that your body needs. In my opinion this is a great addition to the Isagenix system.

You can order these products or check for a retailer nearest you by going to the VitaLicious.com website.
