I fasted for 24 hours, nothing but water and a few sips of black coffee. I has some blood work done and it was required, not like it was for weight loss purposes. Anyway, I knew when I was done with my appointment I would go a little crazy and I did not dissapoint. The people at the doctors office even joked that most people head right out the door and to the nearest drive thru and start the plan the next day, so I guess that got rid of some my guilt. Anyway before I get to what happend at the doctor I will just spill the horor story of the binge. First stop- Krispy Kreme. Purchase- 6 donuts (I ate 1, the rest are for maddie) next stop- Dairy Queen. Purchase- mushroom swiss burger with fries and a sprite. Ate the entire thing in 5 minutes I think. Last stop- Zaxby's. Purchase-w brownie batter milkskake (drank maybe half of it then wanted to vomit) Finally at church I had a handful of goldfish with the kids. Here comes the true confession- I threw up when I got home. Not sure if it was a combination of the side effects they mentioned I may experience from the B-12 shots or the huge mass of grease and sugar and just overall nastiness sitting in my stomach but it all came up. And no, before anyone wonders or thinks it I did NOT force it. I had a huge surge of nausea and now I feel better. I feel extremely energized. Thanks to the B-12 shot I am assuming. I get a shot once a week for the next month and if I always feel this way they may have just made them selves a lifetime customer. Not sure if it will help with my weight loss of not cause of what the doctor/nutritionist/whatever he was said. But I sure feel good. Anyway here is what he said- that based on what I eat now (or usually, I admitted to going through binge periods and fast food addictions and such) that I probably will just get a little boost but wont see the huge weight loss that most of his clients experience. I guess that's a good thing. I'm not obese I guess. Although my BMI was measured to be 27.5 which still puts me FIRMLY in the overweight category so I am very much justified in wanting to lose more weight. He said I could probably lose 20 pounds but that he doesn't recommend I get below 150. SOOO I guess I may have to adjust some goals and stuff! The office visit was nice. Just him and his person who gives shots- not sure what she is- she was nice, but had to poke me twice to draw blood which sucked! I was weighed, had my BMI checked blood drawn, jabbed with the shot then had a 30 minute talk with the doc about a weight loss/exercise plan that would work for me. And the shitty part- it's exactly what I do now. he was asking me for tips and recipes. Geez. Anyway it was fun and I'm excited about seeing some results or at least feeling them!
Meal plan for tomorrow:
Breakfast: english muffin, egg cheese, ham, fruit
Snack: fruit, yogurt
Lunch: chicken breast, tortilla, veggies
snack: carrot sticks
dinner: chicken breast, chick peas, mixed veggies, couscous
exercise: c25K week 2 day 3
I have a meal plan that they gave me- not with food but with categories (such as breakfast 1 protein, one starch, one fruit, one dairy, etc....) and I will probably use that as a guide to balance the healthy stuff out but essentially its what I've already been doing for a year (on and off ) now. Either way, I am excited again maybe this is the final boost I need to get down to a size I will be happy with!

Bagel Sandwich
This was the best breakfast I have had in a while! One mini whole grain bagel, 2 slices turkey bacon, 1/4 cup egg whites and 1 slice cheese served with 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup strawberries. Total points- 6! Also- I have decided turkey bacon is FAR superior to regular bacon and I am dead serious!
Orange-Black bean salad and fish
YUM! this was so good! And so easy! Just saute some onion and garlic in a little bit of olive oil, add some ground cumin then add black beans, red wine vinegar and fresh orange juice. Toss in some Oranges at the last minute and serve! Amazing! I served mine with some pan grilled mahi mahi. One of the best combinations of food I have ever had!
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
mmmmmm....this was awesome and I ate it for at least 4 meals!
Mexican Meatloaf
this was amazing! No clue wha tI put in it, if you want the recipe I will dig it up, it was good though!
Shrimp curry
Mmmm thai food at home!
Spinach strawberry salad with goat cheese and orange balsamic vinegrette
Yummiest salad I've ever made! baby spinach tossed with sliced strawberries, goat cheese, and pistachio nuts. Dressing is orange juice, balsamic vinegar, canola oil, salt and pepper. Very tasty and simple!
Green Monster Smoothie (and Maddie's juice)
milk, fruit and spinach, what's not to love?
Alternative
I almost broke down and got some diet pills. Instead I bought these: some fiber choice tablet things that actually taste really good, and a multi vitamin that supports metabolism. I took them both this morning and have tons of extra energy and do not feel starved! Yay!
Day one, off to a happy start....
Breakfast: 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, half banana, 1 mini whole grain bagel. Lunch: 1 cup progresso light zesty Santa fe soup. Dinner: 3 oz fillet mignon, asparagus, sweet potatoes, and french bread
Beans rice and cornbread, can't go wrong!
1/2 cup pinto beans, 1/4 cip jasmine rice and small slice of cornbread. I like to serve my food in small bowls/plates...I guess the mind trick works for me cause this looked like a ton of food!
My daily breakfast
This is a wonderful and filling breakfast. I make a fruit smoothie (1/2 cup milk with about a cup of mixed fruit, whatever I have on hand) then serve it with some egg whites mixed with whatever veggies I have on hand, and a mini whole grain bagel. the whole thing has 5 pts and I am so full that I don't even think about food till about 5 hours later.
Veggie Pizza
garlic olive oil, then pizza sauce, lots of fresh veggies and CHEESE! Just 4 pts a slice!
Baked Ziti
turkey sausage, bell pepper, onion, diced tomato, frozen peas, lots of herbs, whole grain pasta and cheese. Very easy and yummy! Filling, and there are tons of leftovers!
Day 4
Breakfast: honey nut cheerios and 1/2 cup milk Lunch: 6 piece chickennugget kids meal from Chick Fil A with fruit cup instead of fries and milk to drink Dinner: lean hamburger patty on whole grain mini bagel with tater tots. Picture is of my favorite Sonic drink... a large WATER
the filling for my greek omelet
artichoke hearts, spinach, olives, mushrooms, and tomato! Very tasty!
Made from leftovers!
beans, rice and shrimp in my baja yogurt sauce. Served with corn tortillas. Quite tasty!
Fajita Pork and Pasta
This was sooo good! I'm on a roll with these weight watchers meals! Very easy- 1 onion, 3 bell peppers (green, red and yellow) 1 zucchini a couple carrots cook till tender (seasoned with ground cumin, chili powder and garlic powder) then add some pork (seasoned with the same thing) and heat through. Toss with whole wheat pasta and you're done! I added some garlic in there somewhere too, I think with the veggies. Oh and at the end throw in a can of rotel, it kidna helps hold it all together. Yummy!
Baked Tilapia
Tonight's dinner was so good! I made baked Tilapia- just seasoned both sides of the filet with salt and pepper then covered the tops with a garlic herb blend and fresh lemon juice and broiled for about 10 minutes. Served with orange cilantro black bean salad ( one of my favorite new recipes) and rice! So good!
Day 3
Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Cheerios with 1/2 cup 2% milk, Lunch: whole grain tortilla with grilled chicken breast and veggie mixture of corn, black beans and brocolli, Dinner: roasted pork loin and apples, green beans, and french bread, snack: peaches and raspberries
Fish Tacos
this was good! I made fish stickes (tilapia with some seasoned flour and bread crumbs) then served it in corn tortillas with a yogurt sauce (plain fat free yogurt, lime juice, chipotle in adobo and salt/pepper) Made black beans and rice for a side dish
Lemon chocken with artichokes and spinach
This was better than it looks, but not much! I think if I had used the capers and fresh spinach the recipe called for it would have been better. Instead I omitted the capers cause I didn't have any and used frozen spinach. the sauce is good though- lemon zest, lemon juice, chicken broth, corn starch and sugar. Season chicken with salt pepper and dill. Mix sauce with artichoke hearts and spinach and serve over chicken. Not bad, but not as good as the rest of the recipes!
Sauted Shrimp and zucchini
Another very good recipe from WW and also very easy. Saute some zucchini in a little olive oil, add shrimp and grape tomatoes. Season with salt pepper and oregano. I served mine with angel hair pasta
Goat Cheese Souffle with fruit salad
Souffle: 3 eggs, seperated, some dill weed, salt and pepper, 1/2 tbs butter and 1-2 oz goat cheese. mix egg yold with dill weed salt and pepper, set aside. In large mixing bowl whip egg whites with electric mixer till soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes) fold in yolk mixture till combined. Poor into pie dish buttered with 1/2 tbs butter. Crumble goat cheese on top. Place in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Eat! Yummy! The whole thing has about 10 points, I cut mine into 4 servings, so this is a nice light breakfast for a few people when served with a good fresh fruit salad- just 3 points!
Mediterranean Chicken
Tangy and tasty!
