Big Girl Small Problems

Hey there! I am 8 weeks on Keto and everything is going really well! Here are some highlights for you: I am down 9 Pounds Clothes are getting looser Easier to bend  Easier to walk More Energy I am an official size 24 in these "jeggings" from Maurices I love.  Downsides: Certain pants still don't fit around my belly, this is to be expected because I am just starting to lose in my butt and legs.  Favorite Keto Snacks:  Cottage cheese and berries Sugar-Free Jello (the actual brand Jello, none of this snack pack business) Starbucks Keto Drink After much searching and trying, I found it!  Venti Coffee Frap - replace the milk with 1/2 water and 1/2 cream, add 2 shots of sugar-free vanilla syrup. Almonds I am not a "HARDCORE" kind of a keto gal, I don't make food with coconut flour; however, I do try to make a few things like Keto Cookie Dough (linked in my last post) and I also just try to make sure to have cheese and other p

Hey there friends! It has been some time since I have come on to this blog to post about my weight loss journey. I have been working on my website  Poor Girl in A Corporate World  and I decided I should pay some attention to my more personal blog. The last post I was on Nutrisystem... oy... Nutrisystem... let me give you a review of that: Good concept, terrible food, overly priced. Let's just say that if I wanted to eat cardboard, I would just eat the Amazon Prime box that is in my living room from my last purchase. Since then I was off a diet - gained a lot of weight (sadly over 300 pounds) and then I went on Weight Watchers... again. They are like the ex-boyfriend I just cannot get over! I wasn't doing so well with them. So last week I decided I needed a boost... and EVERYONE that I know is pretty much doing it - so I thought that I would do Keto Die t just like most everyone is doing. You can do this without paying for it on the WebSite, I just used their shopping

As of March 31, 2017 - I have been on Nutrisystem. The first week was alright - I ate small meals and lots of vegetables. They provided me with the food, all I had to do was buy the veggies. I pooped a lot, lost some pounds and got some energy back. Some days were harder than others, but I got through it. I am on week two of Nutrisystem where I now get to do the actual plan - not the turbo boost week. What do I think of it? 1. You have to buy your own food in addition to the Nutrisystem plan. I find this kind of irritating. Granted I am not paying for the plan - my mom is gracious enough, but it is still annoying. 2. You really have to abide by their grocery lists, and I am still taking my little booklet on the how to around with me. These grocery lists are very much a life saver though. 3. Find a vegetable you like. That is going to save your life! 4. Track - cause that is how you stay on task. And go by the book! 5. The food is alright, I am finding what I like and dislike.

Recently I started watching the newest television show This is Us . A heartfelt series that shows a family and how they have grown. I love this show, I think I cry almost every episode! No it is not because, while I value my family and I see how they are tight and in need of each other, I cry because I relate just a little bit too much with one of the main characters - Kate. She is a beautiful "overweight" woman who has a fit and famous twin and a wonderful adopted fit brother. There might be some spoilers so if you want to watch the show, now is your chance to stop reading and start watching! Her whole life she has been deemed by society as a chubby little girl, into a chubby teenager, and then morphed into what we deem as "overly obese". Her mother - out of the love in her heart - doesn't want to see her ridiculed and does it as protection - but starts her out on eating fruit and cottage cheese while her brothers get the sugary cereal. Not fair! In one ep

It is time for a change, and my friends I always say this. No matter how hard I work I gain the weight, and no matter how much I don't work, I gain double the weight. This is why I am to date at my ultimate biggest size. I went to the doctor to get help, I am that desperate. He gave me some pills, but told me to also work on my diet and eat right. I have fallen out of my routine. So I am going to be better, go harder, faster, stronger. I want to be healthy. My mental health is bad now, my depression is at its very worst. My hands are numb and carpal tunnel is upon me because my doc said, my weight is affecting it. I want to feel like a 26 year old female who can date any guy, do any activity, and be her very best. Change. Sometimes we need a bad situation (revert to poorworkinggirl.blogspot.com) to open our eyes, and an even more serious to see it. I hate that everyone can now say I told you so, but I wish I had not let it get this far Back on track. Even with the holidays.
