Last vacation of the year! TEAR!

Yesterday we got back from our last camping trip of the year! SAD!
Hubbs and I are big campers and go a ton throughout the summer! 
His family owns property up in Lava Hot Springs {on a mountain-top}
It's about 10 miles from Lava. This was the first year we went camping since we sold our trailer, and let me just tell you, going from a trailer, to sleeping in a tent is LAME! 
I HATE air-mattresses! I have never slept so bad in my entire life haha. 
But It was worth it, we had a blast. 

As far as vacation dieting....
I didn't eat horrible, but didn't eat great.
I had a TON of pop though...shame on me. 
Its really hard to eat well when you are camping. 
But we did quite a bit of walking. 
So exercising wasn't a total failure. 

Tomorrow when I go to the gym, i'm going to get my accurate measurements, weight, BMI, and Body Fat Percentage. Just so I know the scale there is right, 
and I can have an accurate starting point. I'm going to stick to straight cardio for my workouts for a few weeks, just so I can get more "in-shape" so I don't kill myself. 


As for today, I am super busy. 
I should have went to the gym this morning. 
But I woke up late. 
I need to get on a schedule, so when I have days like this, 
I will have already done my workout!

Awakened from the dead!

Hello everyone!! Yes I am still alive!

I decided to take a break from blogging for a while. 
Things were just getting too stressful, 
and I couldn't seem to find the time to write. 

BUT NOT ANYMORE!! 
FEAR NO MORE BLOGGER FRIENDS! 
THIS FED UP FAT GIRL IS BACK!! 
Back and ready to take this thing called weight loss, and 

KILL IT! 

Let me update everyone on what's been going on! I still haven't been able to lose the weight I want, so I am going to start writing here again,
and hopefully doing some Vlogs. 

{I still need to set up my webcam and all that jazz, 
so for now we will just shoot for blog posts! 
Gotta start small right!! ha!} 

After the latest season of The Biggest Loser, 
I became really inspired to reach out and ask for help from 
the people off the show. By twitter and facebook, I contacted 
a few of them and asked for some suggestions and tips 
for someone who is wanting to lose around 100lbs. 
They were generous and totally answered me! 

THEN

I entered a contest on Facebook via Biggest Loser Contestant 
and fellow Utahn, the beautiful Sarah Nitta!
remember her??

{isn't she fabulous!? She lost over 100 pounds!}

We had to tell our story of why we gained weight 
and why we want to lose weight, and I was picked {along with 3 others!}
To get a VIP pass to The Biggest Loser Casting Call in SLC!!



I decided right then and there that whether or not 
I got on The Biggest Loser, I needed to take 
a stand and change my life once and for all!

I'm sick of being stuck this way!
I'm going to do it!
 cuz baby, I'm a firework...lol 
 that song just came on!

When I didn't get the call {man I wanted that so bad}
I cried. I was at the drive-in crying while watching 
rise of the planet of the apes lol. But Hubbs whispered to me 
"You don't need the show to change your life, you can do it!"
As pissed as I was when he told me that, He is right. 
As bad as I wanted to be on the show, 
I can STILL do it at home. 
AND...
WHEN
I do it, I will have done it myself!

Although I didn't get on Biggest Loser, I feel like I learned a lot.
Just filling out that application helped me come to terms with 
my weight, and that it's going to take hard work
to get to my healthy weight.

I joined this group called Commitment Team on Facebook, 
that Sarah set up to help get people to commit to something, 
and be held accountable for it.
It's amazing the amount of inspiration that comes from this group.
I love being a part of it. 
Just last week, Hubbs and I made a commitment to not eat out for lunch, 
and make healthier choices. And just in 6 days, I lost 5 POUNDS!

I LOVE IT!

So starting tomorrow I am going to make sure to get my exercising in,
No fast food for lunch, and cut down on Pop. 

{I've got to start small in the pop area...I seriously am addicted!}


I will post more about my starting weight and all that tomorrow!

Have a great day everyone!!

Eh...

Hey Friends

Sorry for the lack of posting on my part. 
I've been really down lately. 

Some things have happened that just have me not acting myself.
I found out my sister-in-law is pregnant.

Which is really exciting for her!
But As all of you know I have had a really rough 
time keeping any kind of bun in my oven. 

It's a really exciting thing for her, and when my other SIL
got pregnant, I was a little upset too.
But I love my niece more than words can even explain.

Just look how cute she is..






But this time is different.
My last miscarriage was in August
and its hard to swallow everything that is going on.

It's hard to think that if everything would have went well,
I would be pregnant right now too. 

Its just JEALOUSY.

I'm trying look on the bright side of things.
I am going to be starting school soon, 
and getting a jump start on my career.

So being pregnant right now just isn't for me. 
But Congrats to my sister Brittney! 


ON TO THE WEIGHT

I said at the beginning of my journey that I am going to 
be doing a diet similar to HCG but with no HCG.
On HCG you have to take a break from your 
LCD. {low calorie diet}
So for the past 2 weeks I have been taking a break. 

The purpose of the break is to ensure that you can maintain
the weight loss within 2-3 pounds. 

So I am happy to say that I have done just that. 
I have been fluxuating between 215-218.

Starting monday, I am going to be back on my LCD
and eating healthy! So there will be better weigh-ins and a lot more results!!

So stay tuned!

ALSO, I am in the process of dumping both my computers.
So let's hope I can get this done ASAP :)

Weight Myself Wednesday!!

Today is 

 

Remember when I started I was 
231.6.

Last time I weighed myself I weighed in at 
215
{16.6 pound loss so far}

Today I weighed myself and it said


.......................................


215...


I am so irritated. :(

I have been beyond stressed lately
so hopefully I can blame it on that. 

I even contemplated not even posting today.
But I know that I owe it to my followers.
{all 30 of you :)}
{it means a lot, really, that people care about what I am trying to do}

I owe it to you to let you know that I am REAL.
I am a real life person.

A person who struggles.

A person who cheats and has 10 M&Ms.

A person who slacked and had 1
I REPEAT...ONE
boneless buffalo wing.

But I know in my heart that I don't want to give up.
{Even though my brain tells me sometimes that I am just kidding myself}

Just know that I AM real.
I do struggle.
And losing weight isn't easy.

It took me 3 years to do this to myself.

So I am not going to transform over night. 

I *promise* to do better this week.
Not only for you guys,
but for me too.

Weigh Myself Wednesdays!!

Today is 
Photobucket

Okay remember when I started this thing?
I weighed in at a whopping

231.6 pounds

This morning when I weighed myself

I saw.....

wait for it....


wait....for....it....

215!

That is a loss of 4 pounds.
{not SUPER happy about this number}

But a loss is a loss.

I picked up two 2lb weights and it made me feel better.

I am down a total of
16.6 pounds!

This past weekend I really really struggled, 
and I cheated a few times.
{not with usual cheat food like french fries, and burgers}

We're talking like Pringles people...

....PRINGLES....

No Pringles while on diets!

On another note.
I am sick today.
What is up with that? Really?
I was sick LAST week.
I'm not in the mood for anything today.
 I just want to SLEEP!!
As far as a recipe goes, 

I will share what I had for dinner last night. 
 it's called...
Um...DELICIOUS CHICKEN TACOS!

Not the most exciting thing, but it was SO good.

We put all kinds of awesome seasonings on
boneless skinless chicken breasts
{Our favorites are}
Garlic Salt
Lemon & Herb
Season All
Mustard Powder
And some Awesome Greek stuff we have.
{don't know the name}
After your the chicken is coated put in oven!
After chicken is cooked, 
take out and shred.
Hubbs and I used corn tortillas because they are significantly healthier.
Heat the tortillas by getting a damp
paper towel and wrapping the tortillas in it.
Heat in microwave for 30 seconds, and BAM. PERFECT!

Tyler put all sorts of healthy crap in it, like peppers and tomatoes 
{I hate those lol. I am plain Jane} and you can to!
Anything healthy go ahead and load it up. 

I can't have much carbs, if any at all.
So I just made one taco, and had a few chicken pieces on the side
On mine, I put the chicken, and a Tsp of cheese.
{not really allowed on my diet, but tacos with no cheese are NO BUENO!}
Usually I would put ranch on it because I could literally DRINK ranch.
Who else loves LOVED ranch that much?
My Hubbs thinks I have a serious problem. Lol
But since I can't have anything like ranch. 
I've been using balsamic vinegar! It is SO good.
This particular dinner tasted like Javier's Enchiladas! 
I have NO idea WHY, but It was DELISH!

PS. Hubbs is down 12 pounds!!
GGGGGOOOOOOOOOO HUBBS!! ♥

Its....WEIGH MYSELF WEDNESDAY!!!

GOOD MORNING!!

Today is another......



When I started my diet LIFE STYLE CHANGE 
I weighed in at 231.6 
{Excuse me while I puke...}

This morning…
Drum roll please
……………………….

219.0
That is a 12.6 pound loss!!!

I can’t believe I am actually doing it.

Usually by now, I would have given up.

But I am so determined.

ALSO, the Hubbs is doing great as well!

{he’s not really looking to lose 
a certain amount of weight he just
wants his high school football bod back}

Now I need to take a second to talk about Hubbs.
Oh how I am grateful for him. 
Before I started this whole thing, I told him, 

“Last time, this diet, weight loss thing didn’t work because we had too much junk in the house, and I would watch you eat potato chips, 
drink Pepsi so I just gave up." 

I figured, if he didn’t care about me getting to my goal then  
why the hell am I even trying? 

So we had a long talk before the New Year so that we were on the same page. Now when I look in our fridge I think, 
“What in the…? Who are you people and what have you done with Tyler and Jaimie?” 

But I can’t be happier about it! 
We have fruits, salads, NO 24 packs of soda, unthawing chicken? 
And let me just tell you, yesterday, when we were shopping, 
Hubbs wanted to replace regular milk with soy milk! 

WE HAVE SOY MILK IN OUR FRIDGE!! 

We are doing it people. 
And I am so grateful that I am not going at it alone.
I am so happy for both of us

I love my Hubbs and I am really thankful 
that he is helping me so much. 

So we’re standing in the kitchen the other day when I was 
having a rough time, all I could do was cry.
 All I wanted was a #1 w/cheese, 
plain, with a biggie Dr. Pepper.

   Why does this have to be such a struggle for me? 
WHY AM I SO ADDICTED TO THE 
FOODS THAT ARE SO BAD FOR ME? 
Why can’t I just SUCK IT UP and get on with it?

Hubbs wipes my tears away,
gives me the biggest bear hug, 
and tells me....
“You can do it, I know you can. 
We can do it together. I am here for you.” 

My heart melted. 

Even though sometimes he doesn’t know, 
he motivates me, everysingleday.

Okay okay, I’m done with the mushy stuff

Lol.

I want to share with you a DELICIOUS recipe that 
I always eat on my diet LIFE STYLE CHANGE.
Thanks to my friend Chazney!

Do you LOVE chicken nuggets? 
Because I sure do! 
Here is a healthy alternative!

Pre-heat Oven to 400

Cube boneless chicken breast to
desired size and set aside.

Take saltine crackers and
crush in Ziploc bag.
{I use 4. That is my allowed amount
 and covers my allowed amount of chicken!}

Add desired DRIED seasonings
{I use, garlic salt, season all, and
mustard powder}

Add Chicken to bag and shake like it’s nobody’s business. 

When the chicken is covered, put on a baking sheet. 

Pop into oven until cooked.  
{my oven is from the 19 century and cooks really fast, so I can’t ever tell people how long to cook things in the oven because my oven is on roids}

{Also, this could be used for whole chicken breasts, or even pork chops!}

When they are finished, try it. 
You will LOVE THEM!! 
Serve with vegetables! 
I think they would be perfect for a Super Bowl treat! 
Or if your little one likes chicken nuggets,
give them the healthier alternative!

I hope you like this recipe, 
because I use it ALL THE TIME!!

back from the dead

Hello blog world.

Sorry I have been AWAL for the last week. I have been having a really hard time on my diet and on top of that I got sick this weekend and it was NO BUENO! I haven’t been THAT sick in a really long time. 
I am just writing one intro post right now for both of my blogs because I am on a short break at work. Now, if I had and IPHONE, I could do it from there…lol. But since I don’t, this will have to do till later tonight.
{KEEP WISHING}

Fed Up Fat Girl NEWS: 
Tomorrow is Weight Myself Wednesday and I am excited!! I made sure that when I was sick I didn’t lose any weight {even though, I SWEAR I dropped like 10 pounds from the amount of puking that was going on} 
I’m also going to be posting what I am eating {for reals this time} The reason I didn’t do that, is because I was eating the exact same thing over and over again, and It really wasn’t worth putting on there, BUT since then I have done some research and found some really awesome recipes, only a few though. But I am excited to share them with you!! :)
Tomorrow will be a better post I promise!

Diet day #4

So today was day #4 of my long and hard journey to a healthier lifestyle. 
Since I am really tired, and I can hear my bed calling my name I am going to make this post short.
Wait...can you here it??.......I can...lol

Today consisted of a crap-ton of water consumption. {way more than I am used to by-the-way, Sometimes I would go DAYS without drinking water...pathetic right? I know}

Right as I woke up, I drank a giant glass of water. 

For breakfast: I had 1/2 cup of dried apricots, & a lovely bottle of water. 

Lunch: 3.5oz of chicken grilled with lemon juice & garlic salt, a handful of green bean with a little salt and a bottle of water.

Snack when I got home: 4 Saltine Crackers. {I'm staying away from carbs as much as I can}

Dinner: 3.5oz of  Chicken, green beans and some water!

BORING DAY OF EATING
But really it didn't bother me!!

Tomorrow is the day I weigh in!! Wish me luck!!

Day #3

Hey Friends!!

Here we are Day #3 of my DIET lifestyle change!
I feel great! I’m pumped to be doing this and I am really excited to get to my goal. Hard work is ahead of me and I am so stoked! It’s been a crazy new year and I haven’t been home much to be able to sit down and write on here. But now that things are settled down, you will be hearing from me just about every day!
Since I haven’t been at home, I haven’t been able to take a before picture. {And NO I am not putting it on here lol} I will once I reach my goal of 90 pounds down! I’m giving myself till June to do it. That would be 3.75 pounds a week. I CAN DO IT! I got around to listening to a CD that my dietician gave to me. WOW, that is all I can say. No wonder why I have gained weight like crazy! I’m going to try and put it up here for you guys to be able to download. There is LOADS of useful information on it.

Hubbs is starting his diet today too. 
It’s a good thing he is doing this with me. {Not following my regimen but one that we have come up for him specifically} I really needed his support, and I couldn’t be happier that we are both making this lifestyle change together.
I’m really breaking the rules today and not eating anything for lunch though, because I didn’t get a chance to pre-make my meals for up until Wednesday

I know I know bad Jaimie. 
But tonight we are going shopping for our healthy selves and the rest of the week will be cake! 
{Oh and just to let you know, I tried a grapefruit. YES. That is a big deal}

Once I get My meals planned and all that jazz, I was thinking of taking a picture of everything I eat and posting them in their chronological order each day. What do you think about that
Oh and WEIGHT MYSELF WEDNESDAY starts this Wednesday!! 
I’m really excited to see what the scale looks like! 

Any loss is a loss right?

I will check back in tomorrow night with what I’ve eaten for the day and my thoughts and all that!

Over & Out!

{That just reminded me of In & Out Burgerman what I would do for a big juicy burger right now…lol. 
NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS!}
