Not working!

I am not happy with things right now. I have the ablitity to take better care of myself and I know i will feel better about things if I do. Tomorrow is the begining. I am better then I am letting myself be. This week I am prepared to eat better. I have my veggies cut and divided for each day so all i have to do is grab and go. I can do this. I will do this.

Yay! Two days in a row!

I did it again! I was perfect again today. I admit i am craving chocolate tonight but i am craving the happiness i feel of succeding more! Today was a great day. Had my hot chocolate for breakfast, had orange drink and green pepper for lunch, and chili for a snack. For dinner I had a yummy salad with lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, green peppers, yellow peppers, red peppers, green onions, and tomatoes and a can of chicken. It was so yummy :) Well I think that is all to report for the day. I found out my IP buddy Mellie is coming down in a couple weeks to provo...she is bringing me more IP food and i get to see her which makes me sooo happy :)

Also...a note to my sister Jill...good luck on your diet and blog...you can do it!

Day one...repeated

Ok so as you can see I haven't posted in three days...that is because I did not do so well in those days. Sunday started out fine but I then received fresh baked banana bread that was still warm when it was given to me and I couldn't resist. Monday was a day off from school and it just through me off. Tuesday I have no excuse. But I was really thinking yesterday about why I want to continue on this program. I want to because it makes me feel good....Physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. I want to take care of myself and this body that has been given me. So today was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! Had an IP hot chocolate for breakfast. Had IP Orange drink and celery for lunch. And I cooked for my dinner group tonight and we had yummy salad with lots of yummy veggies and chicken. It was so good! I love to eat healthy. My goal is 5 perfect Ideal Protein days in a row....TODAY IS ONE! I can do it!!!! Oh and i love how my blog has inspired others. I saw that my sister has started a blog too! I hope I can inspire others to take care of their bodies. We can all get healthy and happy together!!!!

Day Two!

I was kind down today. Struggled a little emotonally and I wanted chocolate to make it all better. So i ate my IP chocolate pudding! So despite my desire for chocolate I was strong and I didn't fall off my IP train! Dinner was really yummy tonight. I cooked chicken in olive oil and seasoned it with Wild Bill's Garlic Pepper. Then I added zucchini, green peppers, and green onions. It was yummy!! Every day it will get easier. Yay for success!

Perfect Day One!

I did it! I had a perfect ideal protein day. Including vitamins! It was a pretty good day and I was proud of myself. Even when I was craving chocolate and had a package of oreos in my hand. I put it back and walked out of the store empty handed! Phew! Day two here I come!!!!

My IP Journey thus far

So I am starting this blog because I need motivation to get back on board my diet plan called Ideal Protein. In May of last year I came to a point where I was mentally ready to do things for me instead of always putting others first. That may seem somewhat selfish but for me it was a great accomplishment. In the Drs office where i was stationed they had just implemented the diet Ideal Protein. I had seen Dr Flesher and his wife Brenda have lots of success and I wanted to get in on the action. The office manager, Melinda, told me that I could be on the diet for half the cost, the employee rate. I was so excited but I didn't think I could afford the initial consultation price. I mentioned the diet to my parents and it happened to be my birthday. They said they would pay for the inital installment of money for my birthday present. I was so excited. I started that week and as of right before Christmas 2010 I had lost 86 pounds and feel GREAT!!!!!! Sure it was nice weighing less but there was so much more to it. I felt good about myself. I had more confidence. I was more comfortable with myself. I was motivating to others. I had such great support from my coworkers and my family and the branch. Things were great and then the holidays happened and I fell off the train. I decided it was ok as long as I got right back on right after Christmas. Now it is January 14th and I keep trying to jump back on that train but I cannot get both my feet on. So that is where the blog comes in. I want to be good. I want to follow the protocal again. I can do it!! I can do it!! I am going to do it. So I am going to make it a point to blog every day to publish my success on getting back on board that train. Hopefully I will have my friends from Vista and my family check in on me from time to time and make sure I am still on the train but regardless this is for me. I want to do this and I can do this. Today has been bad for IP but I start fresh tomorrow. Keep posted for tommorows post. I will be writing how perfect I was for day one back on the train. Just you watch!
