I found a new hosting service, I’ve spent the last few hours getting everything moved over. Instead of going with a private cPanel for all of my personal domains, I’ve got everything housed under one domain. I still have two more to move but I was able to get the important 3 transferred over. Krissy.nu, Krissyville.net and Curvy-Chick.net. It took a little bit longer to find what I was looking for but that’s OK because I’m very, very content right now. I can’t wait until the second account is setup so I can get all of my clients moved over as well. Unfortunately that went through as an eCheck so there’s a bit of a wait on it, but by Monday I should be able to get back on track with things. Come Wednesday everyone should be completely moved over and that’s just great for me.
As for dieting, I’m off the wagon. I’m on Vacation in New York visiting family and anyone living in New York would know that the amount of yummy goodness in the air is enough to kick that dicipline out the window. I’ve had pizza, I even broke down and picked up something from a local deli. They have a fantastic turkey wrap that I just can not resist. Yes - if it’s done right it’s healthy but you need the mayo, bacon, cheese, salt and pepper or it just does not taste right. I have also blown through my budget for this vacation so I’m back to crunching on veggies for 5 meals a day and tonight I had grilled chicken with some light seasoning - partnered up with tons of veggies on the side so I’m very easily getting back on track - I just had to kick the wagon across the street for a couple of days.
I haven’t lost any weight since my last post, but I haven’t gained any either. I’m maintaining my weight and that’s just as good as losing it. I’ve gotten a few compliments since I’ve been up here - I haven’t seen a few of my friends in well over a year so they were definitely taken back when they stepped foot onto the porch. All I need to do is lose another 40 pounds and I’ve completely met my goal of 100lbs lost. Not too shabby - eh? 50% done! I’m like a download - whee!
On Monday Sean and I were up in New York picking up the loan check and I have to say that now that the money is sitting in our account we’re antsy as heck to get out of here. My diet slipped a bit this week, but I’ve been doing well on my portion control up until Monday evening. It was my birthday, we went up to Bertucci’s because it’s one of my favorite restaurants up there.
I did good on not inhaling the bread the way I used to, anyone knows that fresh baked Italian bread right out of the oven is the best stuff in the world. I picked up the Baked Tortellini & Chicken Gratinati which has Tri-colored cheese tortellini with grilled chicken, cream, ricotta, mozzarella and Romano, brick oven-baked and sprinkled with diced plum tomatoes. It’s a high-carb meal, but highly recommended if you’re really going to CHEAT on your diet. Don’t inhale that bag of chips, spend $12.50 and pick this meal up. If you’re used to the portion control then you’ll obviously be able to save it for two more meals the way I did. I had some of the left overs for lunch yesterday because I was starving and that was really the only thing in the house. I also had a slice of pizza for dinner before we left, but who can seriously come back to New York after being born and raised there and NOT pick up a slice of real pizza? Seriously now!
Minus that little cheat, I’ve been doing very well. Sean and I are going to be making the move to Ohio over the course of the next couple weeks so we’re probably going to be picking up some kind of fast food just to throw in our stomachs but I know that a grilled chicken salad with no dressing and a bottle water is just fine for me to be comfortable. I’ve also loaded up on quite a few different brands of the to-go packs, mainly oat bars but I did get the 100 calorie packs of Doritos, I can’t ever finish them in one sitting so it’s not like I’m cheating too much.
Sean saw an infomercial for Micheal Thermond the other night and I think he’s going to pick it up. I’ve done well on losing the weight by myself at this point but I think going on a set plan will bring in even better results for me. It’s a customizable plan to fit your body type and it includes recipes, exercise and other lifestyle changes that many people have trouble adapting too.
I like that half of the clothes in my closet don’t fit me anymore, it’s such a cool feeling.
