I just noticed I only have 127 Body Basic Post in the two years since I have been keeping this blog. I really need to start posting more often. I think the more I post the more I will lose. I need to start posting every day and several times a day!
Update:
My current weight is 270lbs. Last night I signed up for Jenny Craigs 10 week, 20lbs for 20lbs. I am going to try the program out. At first I was moaning about the cost, but I can't use any more excuses for not changing my life style.
So far I am eating my Jenny Breakfast which is an oatmeal and honey bar, a small yogurt and a small cup of apple sauce. The bar was ok, not my favorite, but i does not need to be. Instead of tripping out I am just going to continue eating them, because they are portion controlled and good for me. My breakfast is around 300 calories. I am on the 1500 calorie plan.
The main things I am trying to focus on while doing Jenny are that I am worthy of this self-care. It was time to start loving myself and doing what is right for my body. This is my RX.

This is going to be so hard!
Sticking to this plan is so important. I need to lose this weight. I need to lose this weight so that I can be the woman I need to be. I need confidence to achieve all my goals.
Here is a list of women who inspire me
Michelle Obama
Oprah Winfrey
Queen Latifah
Kim Love
Beautiful Brown Baby Doll
They don't let any thing stop them from reaching their goals and I will not either.

Back to the basics a weight-loss bootcamp!
Lately I have jumped off the deep in when it comes to eating. I have been making the rotation between jack in the box and taco bell. I have been living off soda, chips, cookies and candy. I now weight 270 LBS, thats 30 LBS away from 300! In light of this fact I need a fail safe plan that will help me get to my goal of 200LBS. I can no longer live this way.
So I am implementing a Back to Basics Bootcamp to lose the pounds starting Feb 9, 2011.
Meal 1 Energy Bar ( I know, I know they are so gross, but I will live!)
Meal 2 Energy Bar
Meal 3 Lean Cuisine
Snack yogurt, fruit-cups
Drink water
Walk 30 min 5 days a week.

At the end of the day!
When I am really honest with myself I can admit that I have special needs when it comes to losing weight.
1. I need a plan that doesn't fall apart during times of hectic stress and chaos (like when I am out of town, working, going to school or dealing with family issues)
2. I need a plan that requires very little thinking, cause I don't have time to write every thing down, count calories etc.
3. I need a plan that builds on ease and convience, because I sometimes don't have time to cook or shop.
4. I need a plan that isn't too restrictive, it has to be liveable.
5. I need my exercise to be automatic as well, no serious thought or plan neccessary.
6. Above all I need this plan to be as easy as pie or else I will fall into my default plan of chips and candy, pizza and bean burritos!

A Crazy Person!
I just realized that I have been trying to lose weight since 2009! In June of 2008 I weighed 150lbs and then by Jan 2009 I weighed 200 and the weight just kept piling on. I was 230lbs when I started my weight-loss journey and today I am 260lbs! So what has happened?
Life Changes
1. I had a really stressful job.
2. I had a death in the family.
3. I have been a live in care taker for my grandma.
4. I had a mystery stomach illness.
5. My husband was unemployed for a year.
6. I quit my job.
The main trend I notice though is that I make tons of plans, but have very little follow through. I keep changing my philosophy on weight-loss every few weeks and that is not helping much. I think if I had just stuck to one plan this whole time I would have lost the weight. I think I am just trying to do too much.
Here is a list of all the crazy things I have tried so far....
1. Leslie Sansone Walk Away the pounds dvd (can't make noise in my apartment, boring)
2. Biggest Loser dvd (can't make noise in apartment, to challenging for me)
3. The Firm dvd and weight set (can't make noise, too challenging)
4. Jilliam Michaels dvd (can't make noise, too challenging)
5. Free weight books (not motivated)
6. Exercise bands (Too weird)
7. Stationary bike (location sometimes inconvient, boring and not challenging enough)
8. Out door walking (having time to do it difficult,bad weather)
9. 24hr fitness membership (too costly, did not like the classes, waiting for treadmills)
10. Weight-watchers (counting points suck, going to meetings hard)
11. Secrets of a former fat girl (nice book, should read it again)
12. Calorie King (not a calorie counter either)
13. The chicken soup diet ( too high in salt)
14. Meditation ( won't stick with it daily)
15. Dr. Smith diet ( too weird)
16. South Beach (too restrictive)
17. Atkins (way too restrictive)
18. Sommersize me (too weird and restrictive)
19. Eating salad only ( not enough food)
20. Eating fruit only (not enough fuel)
21. Eating just veggie burgers (not realistic)
22. The energy bar diet (just plain gross)
23. Protein shakes and smoothies ( too hard to make daily)
24. Cooking beans and riche and home cooked meals only ( who has the time)
25. Frozen dinners only (yuck)
26. Eat Clean (didn't trust myself)
27. The no s diet ( need to have snacks)
As you can see I have tried a lot of crazy things to lose weight. I have tried more than what is listed I just don't remember it right now.

Books!
I have just read the following books.
1. A few books by Suzane Sommers, her Sommersize me series.
2. Dr. Atkins book
3. The Cardio Free Diet
4. The South Beach Diet.
My brain is on total over load right now. Should I do a low carb diet or jump into a weight-training program. Every thing is so confusing, just when you think you have this whole weight-loss thing down you are thrown a curve ball. For now I think I am going to stick with what I know and that is walking and maybe I will try out my own version of this low carb thing.
I can tell you right now my plan will include the following foods...
1. Chicken and Fish
2. All low starch veggies in unlimted quantities
3. All fruit
4. Yogurt
5. Nuts in small doses
6. Cheese in small doses
I see myself limiting the following
1. Processed sugar and whilte flour products
2. Beans,rice, and Potatos
I will likely be eating meals like these...
1. Tuna salad with mixed green salad
2. Roasted chicken with vegetables
3. Grilled shrimp with vegetables
4. Baked fish with vegetables
We shall see.
