Food Diary and more

What can I say? It's been two weeks from the last weigh- in and although I have been working out faithfully and eating the meal plan my weight loss this morning was only another 2 pounds.
We speak to Dr. G today. I believe my weight loss right now is contributed to hormones being out of place. Anyway today is a new day and I began taking pictures and working out even more!!!
He said the last time we spoke my plan will change. The weight loss has nothing to do with the food plan it has to do with my hormones right now. All I can do is keep trying.  I will probably be put in food jail which is fine with me. I want to lose more than just two pounds.

I feel like on the biggest loser when they go to weigh and they have gained instead of lost. Even though i know they work hard on that show- I always think to myself What is the problem, you have help doing this. I guess all i can do keep trying and work harder. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Jerry weighed this morning and he is 188!!!  That is 320 down to 188, SO proud of him.
Without sounding jealous I am very proud of him and i know he works hard. But I am not understanding the reason it is taking me so long.


This past weekend Patience girl scout troop went to the zoo And Build a bear. Jerry, simplicity and me joined them. And we also ate at the mall- it becomes less of a struggle with Patience she now calls McDonald's yucky food.- They do offer salads though. Although her friends in the girl scout troop all ate separate food from different places I noticed she ate most healthiest. There will be times in her life we will be faced with situations where a group is eating at McDonald's, Pizza hut etc. And with the new food skills she knows to ask for grilled chicken,turkey, veggies etc. We all ate at subway.- it was the best the Mall offered and couldn't very well say no thanks, she will not be eating. Simplicity or kaplin could very well eat at McDonald's- and not gain weight. But for Patience it isn't possible. So as a family we try to all eat at the same place. The one thing I am really guilty about is observing what others eat and making a comment to Jerry Patience will pick up on that and say to her friends that is not a very good food choice!!! (so I need to be careful of being a food snob)

I thought it was funny the girls all picked the same animal, I had wished Patience would have gotten a adorable bunny. But she wanted to be like her friends. She named her doggie Lilly. She names all of her baby dolls lilly right now.

She really cares about her friends. And lets us know every other week when her meetings are if she misses a meeting she doesn't like it.

  1. Tori-AMAZING! WoW! What a different person Jerry is!! Totally different from when you came to visit us at the hospital when Javanni was born. You should be COMPLETELY proud of yourself, your husband, and your child for achieving such an unreachable goal..you have ALREADY accomplished way more than most, and should feel amazing..
    I can completely understand your feelings on not dropping more than a couple of pounds because I started my diet 2 weeks ago and have dropped a total of ZERO pounds. Talk about upsetting.. well, I know it will catch up eventually...I HOPE?? lol
    I am so excited about all of the entries you have put on here and cannot wait to copy them! I would love to follow your advice since it is extremely obvious that you know exactly what you are talking about. Look at those pics!!
    I do have one request, please post a recent pic of your own self, so you can be included in the credit? It is awesome that they have dropped so much weight, but you are the blogger, "anchorwoman", and preparer of the food they are eating, so it is only right that you get the same amount if not more credit than they have..
    I am so proud of you guys! I am just amazed...you should be extremely proud!

    PS: I have 2 questions. I tried to find the honey alternate that you mentioned in the youtube video and have not been able to find that, and also was wondering about the almond butter? Where do you get these items??
    Thanks Tori for all your guidance and help. It is so sweet of you to think about everyone else while you are on this road...you are so sweet!

  2. Andria , so good to see you :)

    Almond Butter can be found at Krogers in the health foods or at some Walmarts next to the peanut butter.

    Agva Nectur is found on the sugar aisle at Walmart. And another product Jerry uses is Stevia used in baked goods, and coffee also. We do not eat alot of baked goods but Jerry has been cooking alot of the Amish foods now. -on special occasions.

    I know your going to do just wondeferfully on your weight loss plan. - I hope your eating enough!!!! :)

    I plan to post pictures of myself soon. I guess I just want to lose more :)
