Man I love my Wii. I had so much fun last night geting a good 30 minutes plus of excercise, I had forgotten how much I love that thing durring my bored, tired, sick, feeling sorry for myself period.
Excercise is so much more fun when it's a game!
Oh, and I have a reward waiting for me when I get to 40 slimgenics pounds! I'm getting funky rain boots from Target. I can't wait, only 5.75 pounds to go!
Yep, I am down 34.25 slimgenic pounds, which is a total loss of 42.25 pounds. I do rock!

Veg out
One of the few drawbacks (for me) with the Slimgenics program is the derth of fruit servings on Plan 2 of the weight loss phase. Fruit, has always been my go-to snack and now that I am limited to only 2 portions per day I find that I really really miss it.
This is not to say that I hate veggetables. I don't, I actually like most of them, I just get a bit bored with the same old veggies over and over again. I never got bored with fruit. Maybe it's because I love sweet tastes over savory ones.
Still, I have four portions of vegetables to consume daily, and I think I may become a rabbit before all is said and done. Seriously, what can one do to make veggies more exciting? Day in and day out, cellery, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, squash & broccoli. Toss in a tomato now and then and my menu resembles a garden.
Oh, and don't even get me started on the fact that I am starting to cluck.

I’m back on track.
Weighed in on Saturday, and found myself at a loss of 32.75 since November 1, 2009. That is a total loss of 40.75 pounds from my heaviest weight. I have lost a Jasmine. (Jasmine is my dog for those of you who don’t know.) I am in awe of myself. Is it wrong of me to admit that in public?
I seem to have regained my mojo and few more followers too. It’s the followers that excite me most. I love the idea that my journey and my words can maybe help someone else struggling with weight loss to reach their goals too. I am so excited to have you all here, hopefully rooting for me as I root for you!
Another exciting note, I discovered today that if you Google Slimgenics, my blog pops up at number 3! Wow, how exciting!

A Nonny Mouse
Hello, and Happy St. Patricks day to you all!
Today's post is not about food, or dieting, or anything else related to Slimgenics, other than this blog its self.
I have noticed that while I get several folks stopping by and leaving comments, the majority of you end up annoymous. So I am sending out a request to my readers - Please, please, please leave me a name. I like to respond to the folks that comment on my blog, but it's hard if I don't know who you are.
Thank you, I now return you to your regular weighloss blog...

New Week, New Attitude!
Thank god it's Monday!
There is something I never thought I would say, but it's true this week. Slimgenics starts it's weeks on Monday, and that means I've begun a new week. I can start fresh and get back on track. I went totally off plan over the weekend, got it all out of my system and am not ready to rock this program. I'm newly motivated and ready to go. No more sneaky snacking for this girl!
For those of you that are on Slimgenics and read my blog, I thought I would share one of my go to recipies for a yummy morning pick-me-up.
One cup of cold coffee
One cup of skim milk\
One package of Slimgenics Chocolate Pudding/Shake Thermosnack.
3-4 ice cubes
Mix it all together, shake it up and enjoy!

Don't Change the Plan
...let the plan change you!
That, is the lesson I learned this week. Speaking of week, I was a very, very, very weak willed person this week. I at everything in sight and then some, and more than I care to admit was not on plan.
Trust me, don't do this to yourself. The plan works if you let it. Vending machines are brutally evil when it's "that time of the month", and I have to start leaving my walet in the car.
I'm ashamed of myself, and the only person I have to blame is me. I suppose everyone has setbacks. I just have to pick myself up by the bootstraps, take off the feedbag and get back to basics!
I have lost nearly 40 pounds, I can and I will do this.
I even have new motivation - a beach vacation with my honey!
Look out Key West, I'm on my way!

Depression, a Diet’s Worst Nightmare…
I am depressed. I have been since I returned from San Francisco in January, and I’m trying like hell to get over/past/through it. I know what many of the contributing factors to my depression are, and oddly enough my weight isn’t one of them. In fact, I’m feeling pretty good about my progress, although I have to admit I would like it to move faster. I just keep reminding myself I didn’t put the weight on over night, so I can’t expect it to come off that way either. You know the whole thing about eating that elephant right?
The biggest issue with my depression is that it’s starting to take a toll on my menu choices. I find comfort in food. There, I said it. Admitted out loud what I have known inside for ages. Sweet, chewy, gooey, sticky stuff makes me think that it makes me feel better. In all actuality, it makes me feel worse.
Not only is there the guilt of going off plan, but there are the actually physical side effects of the junk too. I get bloated and nauseas, my head starts to ache and I feel shaky, then there is the fatigue, that horrible sugar crash where all you want to do is put on your fat pants and go to bed.
All of this adds up to unwanted, unneeded calories and a lack of exercise. I feel as if I have fallen into a deep, dark cavern with only the tiniest amount of light showing way up at the top. I’m all alone, and beating the crap out of myself as I try to find an escape. I know I can do it, I can see the light, but I’m so afraid and confused I wonder if I’ll ever make it.
