Yes This morning we woke up to SNOW! I'm not too happy about it but its there!
I woke up to get Rick out the door, about 2:30am I got up and got things ready to go for Rick! Looked at the temp in the house and out side! 55 inside and 34 out side! I go and crawl back in bed and Rick gets up and checks the Pass report - snow snow snow! Then he goes and looks out the window and says " Guess that I didn't need to check the pass report because its snowing!" I was like Really! and Sure enough it was snowing!
SO I am driving my car in the snow! Not too happy about that one! So once Ricky left at 3 am! I stand and watch the snow for a couple of minutes! Then I crawl back in bed! I'm there for about 10 to 15 minutes... The lights flicker... then you know the sound in the movies as if something is powering down?... well that happened and yup yup yup the power was out! I believe that it is still out. I crawled out of bed started a fire. Called the Husband and said not only is the power out it is snowing and he left his pillow at home! OOPS so this day is not so good!
I'm at work now and have not been back to sleep! 4 and a half hours tops of sleep last night! UGH Well See how this day goes!

Motivation to Move - Not So Much
I look at so many people who are Motivated to Move! How are you so Motivated! Yes I want to lose the weight... I have challenged myself to a better me by Christmas (44 days). I just feel that I am too Fat to get my butt out there and move it! I know that there are bigger people out there than me that do it. How do they get motivated? Do I take pictures of myself and look at them daily and get my motivation that way! The truth is I really don't want to be living my life a big as I am! I am so uncomfortable in my skin! I am trying to eat healthy, and yes I am proud of myself that I have been doing this since Saturday, but I tend to give up on myself day after day! I know that if I just eat healthy I will lose some of what I have put on but How am I going to see the results! I want to get the results now not later! I want to be the old me again!
I have always been self conscious about my weight this is just the first time that I have come out and told the world. Even when I was a decent weight I thought that I was Fat! How do you get rid of those feelings and how do you appreciate the way that you look!
I am going to have to be harder on myself! More strict about how much I eat and what I eat! No I am not cutting out carbs I just want to eat better carbs!
This weekend I am going to make whole wheat bread and hoggie rolls! I am going to make noodles and try to have noodle dough around more often! I would like to make tortillas!
I notice that I have a lot of wants and I need to make those things NEEDS Because I need to do this for myself. I am my own worst enemy! No one else can tell me not to do it or tell me to do it! I just need to get off of my lazy butt and do it! I know that this is a downer blog I just needed to let you all know that Eating health all the time sucks! I am going to let myself have a few snacks but they can't be like really unhealthy! I am staying away from preservatives and trying to make everything myself! I know that my husband is enjoying the new foods that I am cooking! Some are different! If he doesn't like something he will let me know!
I am trying to put together a cook book for us of foods that we enjoy eating as a family. We will see how that one goes! If you have any recipes that you would like us to try just let me know and I will try them out!

Inspiration
People tend to get inspiration in different places! For me I try and get my inspiration from other and their real life stories! I try to do my best to be my best because I know that other do it as well! I may not be good at anything but being the best I can be is what I can to for you!
Lately I have been reading a woman's blog that is kind of my inspiration to keep up on my weight loss! She has been trying and trying to loose weight and doesn't ever seem to keep it off... I can totally relate to this woman! I have never talked to her or anything. I don't know if she knows but I think that just her writing things like
"The more I struggle, the less I want to share. When we write about issues,
and triumphs the people in our lives start seeing us as those things. "fat girl
trying to lose weigh" and then we see that in ourselves. I am a very private
person, which makes having a blog a strange concept. I know, I've tried to
figure this out myself."

Getting health requires a lot of things. It is not easy to Lose Weight! It requires us to make goals and most likely break them, and with those goals is a commitment to ourselves and planning to try to not break them. How difficult is that! And on top of that trying to let your friends and family know what you are doing!
So far I have been good with my No S deal that I am going! I am not saying that it is a diet but it is something to make me a healthier person.
If you would like to read the blog that I have been reading on her personal weight loss it is http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com/I find it inspirational but if you don't then that's you!

No S
No it does not mean NO S***! I am starting to eat healthy! Yes it is hard! I enjoy food! I am just enjoying better food now! So I am doing No S.... no sugar, no sweets, no seconds, no snacks... I can have 2 days with snacks a week. That's it baby! I started on Saturday! Yes it is hard! My Hubby is not doing this with me. To be honest with you I don't know if he knows that I'm doing this! I have to get over my CRAVINGS! Yes we all have them! I would just indulge in mine a little too much. We will see how this goes over the next couple of weeks!
With this NO S deal that I am doing I hope to become a happier more joyful enthusiastic person and get things done that I want to get done! Do you think that I can do it! I'm not going to give anyone my over all goal! As of right not my over all goal has to be broken down into smaller more achievable ones! Like Eat healthier for 1 week straight. Start working out - not that I can do it daily!
You are coming along on this journey with me! Some days I may tell you what I eat and how much I exercise. Other days it just may be that I want to eat something that I can't have or if I have eaten the wrong thing! It also may be Inspirational Quotes to get me through this! Depends on what the day brings!

Dinner
So the last two nights Rick, my wonderful husband, has approved on the dinner and said that he would like to have it again! Oh and Sunday Night dinner Andrew approved of except for the sweet potatoes!
Sunday night Menu went like this!
Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, Noodles with a cream/butter/herb sauce, and mashed yams.
Now for the directions!
For the Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Small pork tenderloin sliced open like a hot dog bun! Put slits on the area that you are stuffing (both sides) so that the filling flavors get into the meat.
FILLING
4oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
5 cloves of garlic chopped
3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 to 1 cup spinach -Fresh
Garlic powder
Mix cream cheese, butter, garlic, and 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce together. Put 1 TBS of Worcestershire sauce on the opened side of the tenderloin! Let both the mix and the meat set for a couple of minutes. Take the cream cheese mixture and mash it into both sides of the meat! Put the fresh spinach in the middle and fold over! (I'm sure that you can add more but that is all that it did!) I put mine into the crock pot! Add some more Worcestershire sauce to the crock pot with about 1/2 cup of water enough just to keep the meat moist. I also put some garlic powder on the top of the meat!
Let cook for about 3 to 4 hours on high. rotate the meat about half way through.
when the meat is up to the correct temperature then serve!
Smashed Yams
2 yams (the orange ones)
milk
butter
molasses
brown sugar
peal and cube the yams. boil until tender. strain. add a little milk and a little butter and start to mash! once mashed add molasses and brown sugar to your liking! I added about 2 TBSP of Brown sugar and 1TBSP molasses! I did not measure anything out but it was dang good! Next time that I make it i will measure it out! and Serve
Noodles were noodle roni butter herb! I had to make something that i knew Andrew would like!
Last nights dinner was Clam Chowder! I can not eat clam chowder because it has onions in it! I don't think that it would be the same with out onions in it so I just made it for him and i ate the left overs from the night before.
I don't have the recipe for the Clam Chowder but it was really easy! I will have to get it on here so you can make it!
Tonight's dinner I hope goes well! Stuffing Stuffed Chicken! Smashed Yams and I don't know what else yet!
