Last night, I was FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I went home, and was home alone. I cooked a chicken breast in a skillet with lemon juice and a little zero fat butter spray, cooked a TON of green beans, and made some rice. I only ate two tablespoons of rice. I just wanted a little something other than veggies and chicken.

I covered half my plate with green beans. It was great. I felt SATISFIED after I got done eating. That was a new, nice feeling to have.

I sat, watching TV afterwards, and fighting that urge to find something to eat just to have something for my hands to do.

I did my Biggest Loser workout.

Two of them.

I worked out for over an hour total. It was great! I felt great afterwards. I love the workouts because they help some things you would never think a workout would help.

For example, in the Biggest Loser workout, you do trunk rotations. When I do them, my back starts to crack.

It always seems to cure headaches, and keep them away for a few days.

So I was totally pumped!

Today I have just had a lot of water to drink. I had a small donut, but that's okay. It's been a good day.

A very good!!!!

GREAT JOB JOSLYN!!!! GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! Keep up the good work... it gets easier and easier with each passing day.

I have not tried the Biggest Loser Workout. I will have to look into that. I have just found Fit TV and I watch different things on there to try to mix it up so I don't get bored.

Joslyn I have been following your post and this is my first comment.... I feel your pain! I lost 120 lbs myself...so I can relate to your posts. Hunger was the killer for me. I found that high volume low fat and calorie meals were the answer for me. I have a huge salad with lunch and dinner. Sometimes I even eat one for breakfast. When I have already maxed out my fat grams for the day.... I use Japanese
Rice Wine Vinegar as a dressing. It is a little bit sweet and adds 0 fat. I also love air popped popcorn with some Tabasco sauce sprinkled on for a snack. When the ice cream attack gets me... I eat a fat free fudgesicle. They have 0 fat and 60 calories, plus they are creamy and chocolaty. Keep up the awesome work!!!!

Robert - I think that's the key! Thanks!

Kimberly - Well, I'm not the coordinated type, so to have one workout that I work on seems to work better. I'm not very good at seeing someone do something on TV and trying to do it myself. If it's not fast-paced, I'm fine, though! Very cool! Thanks so much!

Aziz - THANKS!!! I'm so excited!

Kelli - Thanks for commenting! I love to hear from everyone and have positive feedback! We went shopping this weekend, so I have new snacks! Tabasco sauce on popcorn sounds good... I'll have to try that! Check for my new blog!

Deborah - Thanks for stopping by! I'm on the feel good train, and I hope to not stop anytime soon!

Desiree - Very good! I think it is so helpful to have people working with me toward a similar goal!

Nikki - We should! I really want to go to the convention (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about) but don't know if I'll have the financial means to. I better work harder so I can!

I meant a competition as you mentioned to Shawn. We can have our own competition. I didn't know there was a convention. Maybe I didn't read far up enough.

Oh! I was talking about Vegas, the REALTOR convention. Then I remembered that you probably wouldn't be going to that.... I'm silly.

I agree! A competition would be great!

oh sorry...that's what I thought you meant... To see who loses the most weight by a certain date... Just to make it a little more exciting and motivating. Let me know if you decide to do that...
