Day 51

It is not happening quick enough. I have decided that I want what Almost Gastric Bypass's Allan calls "this crap" off of me. I am not hating on myself, just my fat. So on top of buying the diet food scale now so I can really get an accurate measure of my meats, I am getting off my "crappy" ass and doing some exercise. Walking is easy. The grand babies love it. The stroller is working great. I get to say "hi to all their school friends".  So my "Slimmer For Summer" started as soon as I began walking with the grand kids, two days ago.

Measurements. I am not going there. I am already seeing a big number on the scale (even after the "quarter 100 lb. loss) and to see ultra large numbers to compare to the "Michelen Man" is not good for my esteem. I have to bow out on that portion of  the challenge. I hang on to my esteem by a thread relying a great deal on the rose color glasses I have on in life. I know that I am large. And I know that when I hold the roll just below my belly button and flap it fast enough I can cool off my knees, LOL. And thank goodness for my bra. I am 53 yrs old. I just want to lose weight and try to pause that aging f-ing clock a bit. I am not looking for a bod like Jane Fonda (way older that me)...just a bod that can fit into some regular fashion sizes. I also do not like the term "Morbidly" obese. I want to keep the morbid further on down the road, thank you.

And there is a mean mind flash of a moment to be able to wear these shoes and threaten some Narcissistic fatty hating men with them (just only a flash in my mind).

One thing that is making this older woman happy is to see my daughter peeling it off. She had not recovered from the pregnancy last year. When I was pregnant, I remember how the weight just went down easier the closer you dieted to the birth date. Yep, that is my baby. She came from me. I call this common type of photo these girls do "Bathroom Fashion Poser Shots". They look in the mirror at themselves and try for the glam shot. She is now 196 and aiming towards 145. 

One more thing! My scary scooter butt shot! BOO! LMFAO!
I am seriously having fun. Just reminding myself of my journey to
fit my scooter better as well!

Day 50

You know in a perfect dieting world, leaving out all the nutrients lost and possible fiber deprivations, it would not be selfish to ask for a daily loss of 1 pound. One pound, just one pound. Then by now I would have shed 50 pounds. No such luck. I like how Priincess Dieter put my loss amount so far "One quarter of 100"!!

Today if you are government as I am you get what they call the "Eagle has crapped" day (pay day). So I headed out to get a bill or two paid and stopped by Smith's (Kroger). I was just in time for the rotisserie chicken to be coming out. Oh great no need to slave over cooking meat. They just sprinkle it with seasoning, the girl said. So I considered it basically roasted chicken in the My Fitness Plan database.

Shiritaki Stir Fry-Lunch

 The vitamins and Flaxseed Oil pills were way on sale. Flaxseed is for the Omega 3 and I chose it over fish because I am having a hard time enjoying fish after this article I read to help a girl write an ecology essay for her college English [Something Fishy]. Roma tomatoes were 99 cents a lb. I saved 15 bucks total in this purchase. With the Smith card, but my grand babies were playing with my keys and took my card off. The checker called the manager because I had a new card and my phone number didn't get put in yet. They were discussing how to give me the credit and I just thought "F" it and asked the people next in line if they wanted to make some points off me. They did and were so nice. I got a Powerade Zero to replenish my electrolytes. I like the melon (green) one, but they didn't have it, so I got berry. I chose low sodium broth. Preparing myself to be left at home while my daughter goes food shopping, so I made sure I purchased something to make for lunch. Sure enough it is already 3 ish and she is still out and about.

The Shiritaki stir fry lacked something...SALT. So I put a tablespoon of soy sauce in it and defeated my low sodium broth purchase, but it could of been way more sodium for the meal. All those damn Rhodes dinner rolls are gonzo and the eaters are leaving soon

I like the carne asada meat that is sliced for steaks. 1 of them are 7oz. and it makes for easy low carb meal planning. I am using horseradish sauce and Perfect Pinch or Mrs. Dash  with just some mushrooms and green onions. Salad is plain with mayo and the green portion of the green onion  with Prefect Pinch. I bought a scale at K-Mart. Now it is on. I had me measurements wrong all this time. I thought a slice of carne asada meat was 4 oz. No it is not. And I bet the frozen breasts are NOT 4 oz either.

4oz of Asada slice with Romaine Salad-Dinner

I gave the grand babies dollars and promised to take them for a walk to the Country Corner Store which is like walking around my block. Approx a 1/4 mile. The baby is napping and when she is up we will go. The grand babies won't let me forget to take them...you know. Sort of my take a walk coaches. It is a real summer day. Sunny and 80 degrees. I was wearing a long sleeve thermal shirt for my morning scooter ride and had to take it off for a short sleeve! I have that wear sleeves fetish many big people have. I like to wear them and then push them up to my elbows. Oh and black clothes...
