hi. im christi. and this is my fitness diary

it'd be nice if we had enough money to do that. we're only eating like 20 bucks a week in food.
things will get better after i find a job.
geez
this is riddiculous
 
chin up Christi. I've been where you are. When I first got married we were SOOOOo broke and had to do the same thing with the food. It will get better. Have any farmers markets starting up around there? Also, for a little more than the price of soda you can get some skim milk which IS food and a better option as far as drink goes. It probably also lasts longer ;)
You can also look for the game hens or UNCOOKED rotisserie chickens, they usually go for about 4 bucks. You can get some whole carrots and potatoes and cook it altogether for about an hour. you can get 2 or more days out of them. Three if you cook the carcass for soup! Good budgetting!

haha
thanks
you're awesome
 
I'm pushin.
Id gained some back, but I lost five of that. I'll post weight in a week :)
as for diet, I made some chicken noodle soup (and you all know I love that!), and i got some extra lean ham, and some low fat cheese.
I'm drinking limeade, water, and powerade. It seems to be working.
and I've been munching on carrots, celry, and go lean cereal :D
 
so..I was in the hospital for like two weeks because i got pancreantitis from gal stones. it sucks.
It has helped me with my diet, only because it hurts like h e l l when i eat...
But working out helps. I'm almost down into the 150's. cheah!
 
Eating healthy is pretty close to impossible when you're broke. we just don't have the money to spend on veggies and all that stuff. (we being my boyfriend and I) and we both know that we need to STOP DRINKING SODA and stop eating all this junk food.​

Thats a pretty contradicting statement. Frozen vegetables like broccoli and spinach are always on sale for 5 pkg for $5 here. When you dont have cash, you reduce the variety of the foods you buy. Soda is almost as expensive for a 12pk as water for a 24pk. Also gallon water jugs are only $.99.

I dont know your situation exactly and I wish you the best of luck. Just trying to give you some ideas.

you're totally right. I never thought about that.
Now I'm realizing that when I go into the grocery store, I usually end up buying the stuff that I see in the end coolers. Which is usually frozen pizza, and banquet dinners. I'm stupid. haha.

I just need to budget more. :D
 
I made a promise to myself that when I got into the 150's, which I havn't been at since freshman year in highschool (i've now been out for a year), that I'd ditch this diary and make a new one. I slacked a lot in this journal, because really I had no confidence in myself whatsoever. But Now I can see, I can do it. I am completely capable. I've lost 30+ pounds already. and I'm more than half way there.
 
HOLY CRAP THIS IS SUCH AN OLD JOURNAL.
i have my new one now..i'll post pics when I lost enough to see a big change
