Okay good news for you egg lovers. I was doing some research for my novel about a blind girl and found a neat way to make and omelet. Mix your eggs and the ingredients you wish your omelet to contain and rather than fry it put it in a ziploc sandwich bag. Zip the bag with as little air as possible and place it in a large pot of boiling water for about three minutes or until finished. The omelet will slide right out of the bag and waalaah you have a healthy egg breakfast. No added fat by frying and the great taste of frying, is it possible? Yes it is.  YumYum Yum!

Good morning(or afternoon) fellow buddy slimmers. I got up this morning and took a look at myself in the mirror and thought wow I look smaller. So I decided to measure myself a few days early and low and behold I lost a total of 5 inches. I have been on this journey for two weeks and have seen no results till this morning. I am so happy, I lost 1 and a half inches of my waist, one and a half off of my butt, half an inch off of my hips, half an inch off of my right thigh and one inch off of my left thigh. I can do this, I know I can. Thank you Buddy slim and all of you great people for your support.

Addiction is a personality trait. Some people are more addictive than others meaning that they are more easily addicted to things whether it be alcohol drugs or food. I was a smoker for twenty years and quit cold turkey last July. I had no problem what so ever quitting yet I have the hardest time with losing wieght. Food is an addiction the only problem is you can’t live without it. Alcoholics can just stay away from alcohol, drug addicts can stay away from drugs, food addicts cannot stay away from food because we need it to live. It is more like making an alcoholic have only one drink a day and they have to have it to survive. Do not feel bad about cravings. Sometimes it is our bodies saying they need some sort of vitamin or mineral and we just dont know how to read it. I always crave alot of things right before my monthly. I dont deny myself because then I overeat somewhere else or eventually binge on the craving. We need to understand and I think society needs to understand that food addiction is as much a disease as alcoholism.

Okay well I work out on my treadmill everyday except sunday. I got this back in february when we got our taxes back and upon my first few uses found it impossible to jog or run. I quit shortly after that and had a few bouts of exercise on it here and there ever since and all the while I was unable to run or jog for more than three minutes without practically falling over dead. After I signed up with buddy slim I started walking daily for 30 minutes(brisk slightly out of breath walking). Well yesterday I decided to try and jog again and low and behold I was able to do it for five minutes straight and didn’t feel as though I was going to die. I was able to finish my routine and everything. Today I tried it again and I was actually able to jog for 20 of the 30 minutes. I warmed up for 2 minutes then jogged for 10 then walked for 5 then jogged for 5 walked for 3 jogged another 5 and then cooled down. I haven’t lost any wieght but I must be getting fit. My treadmill is in my room and runs parallel with a full length mirror on the opposite wall so I can see myself and I can actually notice some definition in my thighs. I am so happy about the progress I have made. It isn’t just about the number on the scale.

Okay so this is just a funny/not so funny story. To anyone who has children you will truly appreciate this story. Here it goes. Being a stay at home Mom I seldom get adult time, the only people I conversate with are seven and three. So last night I had to go to Wal Mart and I called my best friend to go with me. My husband stayed home with our kids and I met her there. We shopped and talked and had a great time by the time we were done I had vented my weeks frustrations and felt very good. So I go home happy and relieved of recent stress open my front door and see a white childs foot print on my blue carpet. At further inspection there are several more and appear to be made from powder laundry detergent. I ask my hubby who is on his computer oblivious to his surroundings what it is. Of course he has no clue and I dont use powder laundry soap. I look down to there bedroom and low and behold there is more, alot more. I go in there room now very curious and feeling the stress return and it looks as though they had a major noreaster(snow storm). Apparantley my three yr old bit a whole in one of those beanie pillows! It was everywhere, on the dresser in the dresser on the lamp shade in the toy box on the mattress(they had previously stripped the bed!)It was devestating to ones phsycie. It took my husband and I an hour to clean it up and it is still lingering all over. Those little beads are almost impossible to pick up, to light and easily staticlly charged. The moral of this story is: 1)don’t leave hubby home with kids and a computer 2)If you have children do not get a beanie pillow 3) If you have children and already have a beanie pillow, THROW IT OUT!

I really cannot stress enough how good the “Biggest Loser Power Sculpt” DVD is. As an overwieght person I always hated those exercise tapes with the skinny girls who never had a fat day in their lives working out and doing things that my body was just not able to do. It made me feel fat and worthless so I would put them away and never touch them again. This DVD is soooooo not like that. There are no aerobics really to speak of, it is a stregthening tape and it works. I did it last wednsday(not yesterday the one before) and was unable to do it again till yesterday due to soreness. I did it yesterday and again I am sore but I know this time I will be able to do it tomorrow. It works and it goes in stages-weeks 1-2 then weeks 3-4 then weeks 5-6 and it gets harder as you go.  The people on the tape are just like you and me overwieght normal people, men as well as women. I believe they are off of the show.  It was only 10 dollars at Kmart and I believe Wal mart has it too.  You have to try this video I promise you it is awesome.  I swear by it. If anyone else has tried it please write your review on here so everyone will believe me.

Hey everyone.  had an excellent day yesterday. I exercised for 15 min on my treadmill(jogged for 5 of that which for me is huge) did my power sculpt DVD and walked around the park for 20 min. and I ate good all day.  But last night when I got in bed to watch my favorite show T.A.P.S my back started to cramp up and spasm. I have a bad back to begin with and the last time this happened I had to go to the doctor for a shot. Last night I had my husband rub some muscle cream stuff on it and oh my gosh what a relief. I thought i was going to have to stop exercising. I can continue my quest, just put that stuff on when I hurt. I truly need to strengthen my core to help my back and that is another reason I am doing this.  So I am going to get on my treadmill today and exercise, yeh! I am going to skip the DVD as I am really sore in my butt again. 

Hello fellow buddies.  I hear the frequent question of “Where can I find good motivational music?”  I have the answer.  Limewire.  It is free and you can find almost any song on there.  I download my favs and then sync them to my MP3 player.  What songs are motivational you ask.  Well any song that makes you personally turn up the radio when you hear it.  I have a ton of songs on my MP3 player and if I come across a song that at that moment doesn’t “move” me I skip it and I go till I hear a song that makes me want to sing and move.  One other thing I’ve learned(more from lack of funds than motivation)if you shut off the television and turn on the radio you will get out of that chair and find things to do.  The T.V. is mezmerizing and we as a society are hypnotized by it.  TURN IT OFF!  Pick a couple of your fav’s and only watch them, then T.V. becomes a privledge and not a necessity.  Good Luck to all.

Good morning all.  I plan on having a great day today.  I did good yesterday and I am doing it again today.  My wieght is exactly the same as when I started but to me that is okay because the weekend binging I did didn’t hurt me.  I am going to exercise everyday and concentrate on portion control.  Good luck to you all and have a great day.

Okay well I am going to go and exercise then I am taking my kids to the beach.  The diet thing is out the window.  I dont need the added stress of whether I am eating good or not.  I am just going to make sure I exercise everyday and try and stay active.  Good luck to all and have a great day, I know I am going too.
