helloooooooooo i am having posting issues today :/
So... I think i finally figured out how many carbs i can have, and still manage to loose/maintain but Not gain! I have managed to stay between 174-177.. Now it's time to hop back in the driver side, hit the cruise control and coast down to the 160s!
I recently got a new game.. Dance Central.. .AMAZING.. for kinects. holy heart rate batman! i have also been walking ... because the temp is perfect!...... minus the random monsoons, noah's arc cruising down the street, and soggy stinky boy feet everywhere... it's not half bad.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH@ *TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN!*
ummmmmmmmmmmm, yeah.. see that thing???IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! I swear.. i was walking past it the other day, and it turned and looked at me, and with a deep loring yet scary clear your throat voice, said.. "HEY!!! HEY YOU!! YEAH YOU.. C'MEEEER!" all i could think was... AUDRIE TWO! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN Eeets gonna eat meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! ROFLMAO.... mkay.. well, maybe it didn't yell at me... but it's surely big enough to!!! Like.. some alien life form beamed down it's creepy grow ray gun ...and said.. GROW...
Why is my font shrinking??? Maybe I inhaled the fumes of this creature while it was being hacked by the lawn mower... and the shrinking font is just in my head? hahaha nooooo.. i just need to figure out how to edit i guess. Well........... i'm going to study some words... a friend of mine lives is Istanbul... and has been helping me with some words... and it's so much fun! :D
Plans for dinner: grilled burgers w lotsa cheese
Cauli Tots that recipe is found he~awh...
Something green o.0 NOT BOOGERS...(steve calls peas boogers sometimes) Maybe.. broccoli oooooooooooh broccoli salad.. and deviled eggs mmm yummmy mmmmmmmmmm
well, that's all for now peeps, i will be uploading pics later. happy Tuesday :)
mmm by george, Me thinks me got it!!!
Happy Tuesday <3 I have been eating carbs. o.0 HOWEVER.. I have managed to stay where i belong.. 174-177... more so at 175 to be exact. No complaints here! *happy dance* I had egg foo young from the chinese place..and Still managed to stay in Ketosis!!!! Dunno.. I'm baffled too! but I don't mind one bit! Lets see........... in the past, as soon as i'd eat *whispers* bread............the scale would jump right back up .. .and laugh at me. Not any more! I guess i figured out how much i can have before the scale tips ;) Which would technically be OWL stage (Ongoing Weight Loss). All that said, I am ready to jump back on the Induction Bus and hit the cruise control button, and coast my way into the 160s! I have been using a Wonderful tool www.Fatsecret.com you can monitor your carb intake.. your recipes, see your weight DROP! on a chart (or rise) Its Great! I have been walking more since the weather is nicer.. although.. the random monsoons,noahs arc, tug boats,and such are getting a bit old. *sigh* hahahaha But hey, when we are at the furthers field at the park for Tyler's games... and torential downpours decide to strike.. Sprinting definately helps burn some carbs/fat! *woot* hahaha I recently got a new game for kinects.. Dance Central.. HOLY HEARTBEAT BATMAN! i Have found my match! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IIIIIT! Great game! really gets ya goin ;)
Later today, My girly is coming over, and we will be endulging In Jamie's CauliTots.. That recipe is found He~awh...CLICKY CLICKY! I will post pictures later, and let you all know what we think. The Pool will be set up later today... the cow pasture out front is FINALLY being chopped down.. Lemme tell you! It was SO bad.. the poor baby bunnies were LOST.. runnin circles... and i believe the yard even sprouted an oyster mushroom twice the size of my foot!!!!!!!!!!! but i wasn't about to taste it.. ahhahaha...... hmmmmm.. maybe the bunnies did, and that's why they were running in circles.. like a dog trying to pee in a corner in a round room? SEE for yourself...
have a great day! :)

GoodMorning,Beautiful...says my scale to me thismorning :)
I HIT MY FIRST MINI GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! 178.6!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of myself!
My Mothers Day was spent with y children, mom and step dad...though, really...he's more.. Dad to me :) I am SO blessed with my loving little family. Dad got the perfect card for me from the kids... w a 20 in it ;) Then, he wrote me a BUEATIFUL note, inside of a card that states.. that I AM SPECIAL AND NEED to be/Deserve to be treated with love and respect etc. JUST ROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES! <3 and Mom gave me a wonderful card, a cute PURPLE<3 note pad for my purse...and a Gorgeous flowering vine plant... they know how much i love plants <3
Mom even went out of her way to prepare a low carb dinner for me <3 I KNOW! RIGHT??? My tater loving momma nixed that just for me :D i'm so lucky!!!!
She made a HUGE green leaf lettuce salad, with balsamic onions, and homemade vinegarette dressing... and also per my request picked up a rotisserie chicken and cucumber.... so.. i added that to the dish...HEAVEN! and... as it should be.. 10.97 Net Carbs (actually a bit less than that bc i surely didn't have a full cup of dressing)
Although the first third of my day started out depressing as i felt forgotten and underappreciated.... the second and final bits of my day were wonderful <3
Second half.... Kids and i went to wawa, and picked up the Sunday paper... and clipped coupons.. making it a very fun time actually.. THEN they CLEANED THE LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOMW OUT FIGHTING ARGUING OR STALLING!!!! i mean... I could see my Reflection in the tv! ;) Then, we made adorable little goodies for mom.... then they ate lunch and snack while i got a brief shower... and once the water was off... i was waiting to hear the usual fighting and crying and running in the house.. but NOPE! nothing But Hysterical belly laughter coming from my precious little men <3 Then off to mom and jack's we went.
Mom and I prepared dinner......YUM! After dinner, mom and i opened our cards... then Poppop Jack brought the kids out front to play in the HUGE yard... that's when mom and i had a few chuckles (NOT the candy) and enjoyed the quiet. She's so cute... I took out ALL my beads/jewlery making gadgets and gizzmos.... and she pulled out a HUGE donought. She says, I know i shouldn't..but i'm gonna.. sorry Jenni... Then..LMAO!... she walks to the side of me... and pulls the plate up over my head.. so i don't see the donut. LOL! I LOVE MY MOM! she's so thoughtful. I told her to just sit down, and enjoy it... that i was good...my discipline is where it should be
Then, she showed me her dress she's wearing on Vacation... and challenged me to make matching earrings and an anklette... Task..COMPLETE... Also, I think i really made her night... when she brought out her Favorite bracelette... and asked if I could try to fix it... AGAIN...Task..COMPLETE :D It made me feel SO good to see her so happy <3
What a wonderful evening!!!!!! Again... I LOVE MY FAMILY!
As for today.. I spent a BIt too much time playing these darm FB apps.......... I am gonna start thinking about what i'm going to eat for today... and dinner.. Prolly some bbq chicken via kitchen grill.... Then...i have to start searching the web for coupons... as well as the flyers. TIME TO START SAVING!!!! bc... at the rate i'm loosin weight... I'ma need an entirely NEW wardrobe ASAP! donations and funding may be sent to:
Jennifer Donovan
123 Sesame.. HAHAHA JUST KIDDING! oh.. though.. i bet it'd be fun in an "i wear a white jacket"kinda way... to live on Sesame street...hmmmmmmmmmmmm.. HAHA jk....
Enjoy the rest of your day :) xoxo

monday 5/2/11
HOW DELICIOUS DO THESE LOOK???!!!!!today, we went to Boston Market,... and i had a quarter white chicken, creamed spinach, and green beans w a diet coke... i also had a cup of coffee, and a red bull.... w one of these coconut macaroon cupcakes... brings my caloric intake to 670.... giving me 993 left for the day (not a problem at all) i'm down a bottle of water... w 8 more to go. i played around on the net.... found some tools... and to loose 8 pounds a week.... i need
1663 calories a day (i don't eat much ... so no biggy)
125.5 oz of water a day... (9 of my small water bottles)
and >20 NC a day.
this is all COMPLETELY doable! I feel great... we also went to Ross... I desperately needed spring pants.. So... igrabbed a 14... and a 12. The 12's fit!!!!! and ACTUALLY... i probably could have been fine getting a 10! woohooo!!!! these are kinda loose lol. i can't believe it! i had no idea i've lost so many inches.. bc the scale says otherwise.. but the clothes don't lie.. granted every company sizes diferently, but even.. holding up my pants to other pants... they Are MUCH smaller *:D i've gone down 3 sizes now! i'm SO pleased with this!!!! AND ... this experience in itself plus the pictures i found, and posted on my bedroom wall for encouragement... are all more than enough to keep goin.... and the cravings for junk are becoming less and less.
I ordered from NEtrition.com the other day... they have LOTS on their site to pick and choose from. I have fun stuff coming soon...and of COURSE i'll post pix of all the goodies coming my way with what i think of the products :) The ingredients and food choices and replacements they have out now really make things easier for Low carbin. Anyway... Tyler has another baseball game tonight... lets hope the Giants win another game!!!!! they won last night.. bringing giants to victory of 6-0! woohoo happy eating :) IF you try the macaroons.. lemme know how you like them :) I got the recipe from George Stella's book "Eating Stella Style" I might make a different recipe of his every day..post and rate :) have a wonderful day..and GOD BLESS THE USA!

HAPPY MAY DAY!
hellooo......... soooo, as goes with my life style.. I havent blogged in a while... oops! Had a Lot happen so far...
TEST RESULTS... STILL NO ANSWER... seeing a specialist...getting new labs drawn prolly tomorrow.
CHOMPERS!... they are the DEVIL! every time that i left the office, i had full intentions of coming back to get my Front teeth fixed.. yeah.. well, my mouth has other plans apparently! I have now had 7 root canals.. (bc i have ... very bad teeth)... *yet extremely good oral hygene... very confused on that one!* 2 gum scrapings..(top and bottom right side) I'm goin in May 26th for the other half of my mouth... plus a crown, and he's going to finish the root canal he started the other day.. he managed to get 90% done. Apparently, it was pretty bad... I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW! the pain stopped (but i still kept my appointment) and went in thinking..ok, well, i'll get the temporary crown refilled...and make plans fo the front teeth.. yeah.. not so much... GRRRR CURSE YOU GENETICS! oh well... i'm doin all i can do :)
I have been hard core LC'n now since Wednesday. Prior to that, i was more or less... watching what i ate... more so on the OWL stage... though.. i'm far from ready to be there.. but, due to things that were happening w my life... i just watched what i ate. NOW though... thanks to my mom... i'm extremely motivated. She gave me a book called "Fat to Skinny".............. and it is Very well written! It's all low carb.. But unlike Atkins, is easier to follow. I mean.... last night, i made Ham Egg Foo Young with GRAVY! YES GRAVY! Heinz Classic turkey..... only a little bc that's all that was needed.. and the egg foo young was devine! eggs, bean sprouts,scallions,ham... yum yum YUM! and really easy! and i made ham fried "rice" (cauliflower).
One thing that DougVarrieur says to do is keep a food journal.. well, really, it's a hunger journal. He makes very valid points w excellent examples. here's one..
(paraphrasing) for bingers like myself, this caught my eye..and made me feel better.... he says..
you walk into the grocery story NOT hungry... you pass the bakery... you smell the Bakery smell.. you know... THAT SMELL... mmmmmmmmm.... and you're suddenly "hungry" for a cannoli or cupcake.. well... wait... were you hungry before you smelled it? NO.. No you weren't... the smell made you THINK you were hungry.
What does hunger actually mean to you???? For myself............. after noting things down in my nifty lil notebook... i get cranky,indecisive,dizy............ and if i go TOO long, i get horrible to the floor pains in my stomach. (right between the breast bones) OUCH! I now eat MUCH LESS than i did before... bc i'm aware of my body's ques for feul. :) *YAY JENNI!*
ANOTHER GREAT TIP HE MENTIONS... as i've said as well in earlier posts.. are you really hungry? or THIRSTY? the body often confuses thirst with hunger. Drink a glass or two of water first... if you're still experiencing hunger ques... EAT! if not, ........... continue about your buisness :) He ALSO says that when you have a craving for that nasty bad for ya stuff..... drink 2 glasses of water, and the cravings generally subside with in 15 minutes. *TRUE TRUE TRUUUUUE!*
oh! so... last night... i def. burned off excess FAT.... i felt all the symptoms... and of course, i grabbed a protein snack...and a huge glass of water.. but, it felt good to know that.... i am FINALY burning off these dreaded dang flubber cells!!!! i spent the night...from 9-2am painting my sons new room.. freshly built... can't wait to move him in.
Today, same thing... i didn't eat until almost 2pm :/ BUT THAT'S BC I WAS NOT HUNGRY! i had a cup of coffee, and a rockstar... finished painting, then cleaned and organized the basement.... came outback w the boys.... sat here playin on the lap top.. and got Hawngry... so, i grabbed some executive turkey and colby jack and nommed away until i was satisfied.... making sure NOT to over enduldge :) i'm gonna make tuna salad wraps soon...., then shower... go to my sons baseball game.. come home... and cook.... something. not sure yet... OH FUN! also decided i'm going to have different ethnic food days every day of the week. *happy sigh* well, guess that's all for now. be back when i'm back...stay tuned :D
