May 31st - Start today?

I'd like to get into the routine of walking again. My goal for tonight is to take daisy on a 30 min walk. I want to start June off with exercise and I plan on keeping my walks going. Hopefully I can teach her to stop pulling.

May 30th - Partner ship walk to stop poverty.

So we went to vancouver today for the partnership walk. We took daisy. At first she was really good. Pulled on the leash alot and by the end she barked at a few dogs. I think it was a good experience for her. I've noticed that she'll be excited and happy to meet other dogs but then nip at them. I have NO IDEA WHY. I want it to stop because its not safe but I dont know how to teach her not to.
Anyone have any tips?

May 29th - Weight update

Weight has been falling off of me the last couple of weeks. I started at 206 and now I'm around 197.. 196.
This month I've lost 9 lbs doing nothing lol. And although weight has been falling off me... it was yoyoing there for a while. I'm basically back to where I was at my birthday. The only thing thats happened is that I dont eat as much anymore. I've been picking up on price charmings habbits and its helping me out alot. I'm not as hungry anymore and I find that because I was sick... it might have lagged my eating habbits a bit more.
Other then that, lifes pretty good.
My goal by the end of june is to be in the 180's. Its a piece of cake lol. I'm sure I can get it done.

May 28th - Not moving out.

So I talked to my mom and shes not happy about me wanting to move out. I'm honestly not up for moving out either. I just feel like I have to. Lately things have been fine between my parents dog and daisy. I think tension comes because both dogs are new to having another dog in their living place. They're getting better! They're learning when and when not to do things that will upset the other one.
Like Daisy waits until the other dog walks completely away from her plate before she goes and eats. We'll take it slow and see if they can learn.
The only time they fight is if the other dog is chewing on a toy and leaves it and then daisy goes to play with it and the other dog is territorial over it... then she tries to bite daisy.
Its only happened a few times but its getting better.

May 27th - Perfect place

So we found the perfect place to rent but it was well above our budget. It didnt even include utilities. It included hot water and heat but no cable and Internet. Its such a nice suite but I would have to pay an extra 100 dollars a month just to get the Internet and cable hooked up.
The landlord was really nice and cut off 50$ off rent for us.
We took a day to think about it and then got back to them and said it just wasnt within our price range. They understood and that was the end of that.
Now today we get a phone call back from them asking if we still want the suite. They say that they can cut off another 50$ until we can afford to pay it. They were really understanding about us being students.
But what it comes down to is not the fact that they re cutting the price down for us.. its that theres no utilities... and we have to cover for that. The location isn't that great either. Although its a 2 min walk to a really nice trail. Its not in price range.
Finding a place is a hassle.

May 26th - Wondering about the future

Right now I've been thinking alot about the future. We went to that wedding that prince charmings mom invited me to go to. It was BEAUTIFUL! So gorgeous and you could tell the people who were getting married were "loaded". I wonder about the future alot. How are prince charming and I going to be able to afford a big wedding? How are we going to be able to afford a house? We struggle to pay our car insurance lol. I'm starting to see that schooling is so important. Its the foundation to a better future. To get somewhere... you gotta get off your bum and work for it lol!

Btw I think I looked pretty nice at the wedding :) Prince charming and I matched colours :)

May 25th - Found many places

So we found a place and they loved us! Wanted us to move in right away but they told us to drop the deposit off the next day. We went and then they told us that they asked their land lords if they could have a dog on the property and the land lord said ABSOLUTELY NOT. So this leaves me kind of confused... Are renters allowed to rent the place they are renting at?
I feel kind of like we were lied to... but honestly... it wasn't that great of a place anyways.

We then took the opportunity to find another place. This place was cheaper but sooo dirty and disgusting. It was not livable under my standards.

May 24th - Finding a new place

So it came down to it that I may have to find a new place. We've already looked at maybe 9 places in our area but havent been able to lock one down. Some people are just very weird lol. The reason I may have to move is because lately my moms dog has been attacking my dog and I cant have that! For her own safety I need to get her out of here.

May 23 - I'm sick

So I actually got sick. Anyone that knows me knows that I rarely get sick. When I do get sick though... its BAD. I'm a very clean person. I have to have things a certain way. I suppose I have a bit of ocd. It was the worst feeling ever! I had a fever which was something I hadn't had since I was little. Everything felt hot and cold. Every breath I took felt extremely hot. Prince charmings mom got sick aswell!
Prince charming advised me to take an Advil but I refused ( I dont believe in medicine unless its completely necessary ) I feel medicine only covers up the problem rather then fixing it. It also has consequences.
Note:
I did however, after a while did take an Advil and it did help me! I couldn't believe it. I guess I kind of understand why people take Advil now lol.

May 22 - Prince charming is sick

Prince charming is so sick today! Hes shivering and has a feaver and it's just so heart breaking to see. All I can do is let him rest. He caught it from his little brother and sister.
Lets hope I dont get it.

May 21st - Proud of myself today

Since I've reduced my eating drastically I've been eating smaller portions and I really think its helped me in my weight loss.
Today I ate
bubble tea! (for the first time)
Broccoli soup
and mashpotatos

It might seem like I under ate... but I didnt lol
You have no idea how many struggles I faced today! I watched prince charming eat a kfc burger and that was extremely hard yet liberating that I was able to control myself. He ate it because his mom bought it for him which is fine. I didnt feel asthough it was a lash against my new 5 week challege to give them up.
Also at work today I get prince charming a pop from the vending machine every day and I was tempted to get myself an ice tea or even a juice but I didnt. I opted for water and felt great with my choice.
I was super hungry and told prince charming I wanted to order panago but then when we started to turn I changed my mind thinking about all the calories that wernt worth it. I'm going to be eating alot at the family reunion anyways this saturday.
Today ironically when I got home from work my mom had bought pizza and even though they only saved me one piece... I didnt eat it lol. I think part of my will not to eat it had to do with the fact that they only had enough thought to save me one piece...and that piece looked as if someone had taken it and put it back because they remembered that I needed to eat too... I mean... they order a half an half pizza because I'm a vegitarian and they eat all the veggie before the meat size... that kind of gets me upset.
As you can see TONS of temptations came my way today and I'm sooo proud of myself right now.

May 20th - I've been invighted...

Ok so some of you may know prince charming right? Ok. Well his family invighted me to go to a wedding with them. I'm going to the reception and the wedding which is a pretty big deal for me. I'm actually pretty excited!
Something I havent mentioned was that prince charmings background is sikh. Although hes Christian, he was born sikh. Which is VERY SIMILAR to my culture which is islam. I'm muslim. And even though I dont look brown, I was brough up with the same cultural values and traditions. Which means that I wear suits and saries!

Prince charmings family hasnt seen me in a suit yet. I'm not even sure that his family even realizes how brown I am lol. His mom saw me breifly in a sari which she loved! I cant wait for his BiBi (grandma) to see me in a suit. I have a feeling that because I look like I'm not brown, alot of people dont think I know as much as I do. I mean... my closit is filled with suits and saris where as the average person on the street would look at me and think I was asian or something.

I know I'm going to look soooo hot lol. I want to look hot for price charming as I'm going to be his date lol. Now I just have to pick out the right sari to wear lol.
I'm sooooooo excited lol because this is the first time that theyre going to see me so dressed up. I feel like its a huge reveal lol.
Its not just prince charmings imideiate family thats going to be there, his cousins family will be there too. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time!.
I'm going to blow them away!

May 19th - Down another pound!

Ok so now is the time where I really need to be thinking about the future in regards to my weight. I am where I am now... and I CANT let myself gain! I need to be careful this time. I am officially 199.2 lbs. That is friken amazing! I've lost 7 lbs in just over a week and a half. Mind you it is probably water weight. I need to focus and realize that food is not a treat or something that I need to have all the time. Its something that fuels the body and it shouldn't be abused.
Today I had
egg mcmuffin and half a hash brown
ice tea
corn and mashpotatos for dinner
and then later on I had a blizzard and some of prince charmings onion rings.

Yessss... I knowwwww ONCE again all junky fried foods lol. All foods which are all high in calories.
I was looking at someones video on youtube today and she made this video where she is giving up 5 things for 5 weeks. I thought this was the most amazing idea!
I've decided to join along and here are my 5 things.
1. no kfc
2. no iced tea/soda
3. no oreos
4. MC Donald's fries
6. limit myself with chocolate as much as possible

I'm starting today, right now. Although its 2:21 am right now, I'm not going to define my starting point by starting in the "morning". No. I'm starting now. No excuses.

lol... Time to give my jar of oreo cookies away :P

May 18th - Carb Queen?

I'm a vegitarian by choice. Growing up my mom always labled me as a "carbitarian". Although it hurt my feelings sometimes, it was the truth. A lot of what I eat is heavy starchy food.
Today I ate
2 oreos
some nuts
a kfc burger
and some scalop potatos
oh and a wagen wheel.

Not bad for today... I think I have the reduced eating down for sure. I just need to get into healthier foods. That will be my goal for this week.

May 17th - Getting better with food track

So today I had
some nuts (I need them for protein)
2 packets of oatmeal
ceaser salad
3 slices of a SMALL pizza (cheese and tomato pizza)
Mango Tango slush drink (no alcohol) yay me! lol

At least I have some greens in there lol. I have no idea what the calorie count is but estimating I would think I went over by at least 300 calories. If I could go back I would have skipped out on the pizza. I ate it because I paid for it, not because I was hungry and the pizza was super grose lol. I gave the other half to my brother who gladly ate it lol. The reason I had the Cesar salad and pizza was because it was a girls night out. We went out for dinner in a down town pub and it was a good time. Really wish I hadent boughten the pizza though... TRULY do regret it.

May 16th - Eating today...

As said before, I've only been eating when I'm hungry or feel like I need to eat.
Today I had total junk but at least I didn't go over my calories. I've been snaking more then eating meals.
1 ice cream sandwich 120 cal
4 Oreo cookies 320
1 veggie burger from kfc 560 cal
1 root beer float. 380 cal
some nuts... no idea how many calories
I've started to log my foods down. Not necessarily calorie counting but just noting down what I've been eating. Its really helped me to see what types of foods I've had enough of. For example... I will defiantly not be wasting anymore calories on double stuffed oreo cookies. Theyre not even that good to begin with and sooo not worth almost 350 calories lol. I used to log down everything last year and I have no idea why I stopped. I'm going to keep doing it!
My goal for this week is to eat healthier foods!

May 15th - work and more work

Today I worked from 8am to 11am then took baby daisy to the vet to get her rabees shot redone and her booster shot. THEN I went back and worked from 2-7pm. What a day... I was soo incredibly tired because the night before I only slept 2 hours then had to head to work at 8 am. I sometimes feel like my sleep schedual is something that holds me back. I wish I could just sleep normally at normal times lol.
They say that people who sleep enough are the people who are less likely to be obese.

May 14 - Eating when hungry

For a person who eats for pleasure, it sure is hard to know when to stop. Lately I've really been focusing on eating when I'm hungry. I've been keeping super busy with work lately and its helping me out in a way.
I feel as though I can lose weight again it just takes commitment which is something that I need to be willing to put in. My weight as of last saturday May 8th was 206 pounds. My weight as of saturday May 15th is 201 lbs. I basically lost 5 lbs after getting back on track just this week.
I need to make it a long term goal like before other wise its not going to work out.

May 14th - Went walking

So today I woke up late because I didnt have work until 2pm. By the time I got off work I realized I hadent eaten yet. And where did we go? We went to a buffet... wrong choice. But I want to say something that I'm proud of. In the past I would feel down and upset about if I slipped while trying to eat right which would spiral into a depression but I'm going to look at the positives. Even though I over ate...50% of what I ate was salad. AND! I reacted to what I had done and went for an 45 min walk after! Not only that but because it was night time and no one was around, me and prince charming went and played on the play ground lol! Let me tell you how flippen amazing it was lol! It was quite the work out. We went up and down the jungle gym and all around the obstacle course. Even though it was a small play ground it was tough lol. I was sweating by the end. 10-15 mins of playing on the jungle gym as exercise? I'LL TAKE IT! lol.

Today wasnt a fail... it was a learning curve that I think I handled pretty well.

May 13th - Guess whos back?

That, my dear ladies... would be me :)
Its been far too long since I've posted! I was reading over someone's blog yesterday and it really reminded me of how much I miss posting!

We officially work together again! lol We used to work at a place together years back but now we work at a new job together. I got hired last august and he got hired last week. We'll see how it goes :P July 7th will be our official one year anniversary... so many things we could do lol. We're thinking about going to the island together but I'm not sure how that would roll with my mum!

Another update... I haven't moved out yet. I took the advice someone posted on one of my blogs and thought about it a lot. I'll take the help I get now and appreciate it. Family is still family lol.
