The Boiled Egg Health Challenge: Day 1

So today I started something called “The Boiled Egg Diet: Loose 24 pounds in 2 weeks”. Usually when I look at those kinds of things I start laughing. Never really believed in them. Plus I absolutely hate the word diet. Its not a term I put into the list of good words to say when realizing you weigh a bit to much and then need to commit to loosing that weight. I hear diet and go, “Hahaha....no. I’m not doing that. I’m gonna grab my second bowl of coco pebbles, sit on my butt and play some video games.” I am 25 years old and this has been my personally philosophy for about the last two years if not three. My husband will try and dance around the words of, “You are getting fat” and start talking along the lines of, “We should get healthier together.” Then I would start crying and accusing him of being unattractive to me and that was to ugly and fat for him. To be honest I am not exactly sure how he manages to deal with those hormonal episodes.

So I am sure you are wondering what made me change my mind. According to my husband people will never change and that their habits are something they are left to battle everyday of their lives. Seeing how I spent my morning on a video game I can see where that would be a more accurate observation. It is a fight to even get my house clean. But not anymore. I am 5 foot 6 inches and way 250 lbs. Seriously! I saw that weight at my doctors office and wanted to slink into a hole of embarrassment. What the hell happened to me? I use to have huge tits, a tiny waist and huge ass. I was in shape, could run and life and handle some rough bedroom activity. Now I turned into a peach.....a big...squishy...peach. And as much as my husband tell me that he loves to take a bite of that, I am pretty fucking sure he is looking at me and going, “When the fuck I marry Shamu?” (That is what I think, he is actually really great when it comes to my weight and still thinks I am fine like lemon lime in the summertime). 

So I saw the challenge and thought, ehhhh....why not. This could be interesting. So this morning I started with 2 hard boiled eggs, a piece of fruit (banana) and cup of skim milk (Literally 1c.). Then for lunch I had two slices of home made wheat bread, another banana and a bottle of water. I AM SO FUCKING HUNGRY! This is ridiculous. I keep asking myself why I am doing this when my husband who is 6′1″ and about 170lbs of muscle gets to eat what ever he wants! UGH! It is frustrating. Not to mention our 1 year old who wants to eat all my fruit. Don’t think I have ever spent so much money on fruit before. It is going to be worth it, I know it is. I have to remind myself that this summer when I can wear a bikini comfortably for the first time in years that it is going to be worth it. When I can run with my boy and not get winded within seconds it is going to be worth it. I know my hubby is going to be proud to.

You can’t just diet though. Working out, even for 15 minutes a day is important. Me? I am doing mainly ab work outs since that is where most of my love flub is at. So working the abs and when it gets warmer I am going to try and go walk in the park at least three times a week. I think Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be good. So cardio and ab work outs....what did I forget. OH YEA! ESSENTIAL OILS!

So if you follow my other blog (powersessentialoil) you can tell I am huge with essential oils! I love using them in my everyday life and being able to keep my family healthy with them. We haven't even gotten sick this entire winter! So the company I use, doTERRA has a blend called Slim and Sassy! It is a metabolic blend that works with your body naturally to boost your metabolism and burn those calories! It is super exciting. You can put them in water, they come in trim shakes and even soft gel tablets. I have the 15ml bottle, so I am using their veggie capsules and putting 5 drops in the capsule once in the morning. Im probably gonna boost that to twice a day but gotta get another bottle first. 

So this blog is a way to write and get my feelings out about this whole lifestyle change I am going through. You don’t have to comment (especially if you don’t have anything nice to say) and you don’t have to read it. This is something I am doing for me. And that is important in life to understand that you will not please everyone. It is impossible to do so. Just please yourself, God and those you hold most dear to your heart.

Ill check in tomorrow and God Bless!
