breakfast

I made oatmeal and sliced up some fresh strawberries. OMG so good. Super heart healthy because strawberries have antioxidants. Yum!

After my session with Scott last night we weighed. I am down 12 pounds! Yes 12.

I am so super proud of myself as this was done in 3ish weeks. I feel good about myself for the first time in a very long time.

I am going to visit mr. elliptical for a half hour this morning. burn off some carbs and have a great day! yahoo!

That's a wrap!

Yes, I mean a wrap, as in food.

So my trainer, Scott, gave me a recipe for a breakfast wrap to try. OMFG it is so good.

I use a multigrain wrap I think they're called soft wraps or some shit. I'm far too lazy to go look.

What I do is brown about 3oz of ground turkey meat, then add in a 1/4 each of red and green bell pepper, chopped. I also use some red onion. Still those in with the ground turkey and saute until tender. Then I add 3 egg whites in and cook until done. I also add a few pinches of taco seasoning for flavor.
Before I add all the good I cut of a qtr of an avacado and mix it into the turkey and veggies.

Put into wrap and fold up. Delicious! It keeps you full for a long time because it's packed with protein!

I can get use to eating one of those everyday. For reals!!

Hey Y'all

I get weighed today for reals. So I will find out if my 11lbs loss is real or if I was just imagining things.

Good lord I hope it's real, that would friggin rock my socks off!

I will update later. Oh and I get to buy a new laptop today!

Low carb, High Protein

Holywow. I am having a hard time getting motivated, I need to eat a lot healthier. My trainer is helping with nutrition stuff too. As well as my nutritionist. My god it's a tough adjustment to make. One thing I can say is that I haven't drank a pop in over 2 weeks. That's HUGE for me.

I went to the gym 5x this week. Woot for me. I have been doing 30m straight on the elliptical and it's hard but i get through it. I think by 20 minutes i might die but I make it through the next 10 with no problems. I really really really really really like my trainer. He's the most kickass guy ever. I am so glad that I get to train with him.

So far I think I'm down 13lbs. Which is super exciting.
I'm suppose to consume 2400 calories a day because of how much I am working out.

I am struggling with everything except the exercising.

Woot

This week I have 3 sessions with Scott. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I'm stoked. Really going to the gym is the highlight of my day. Today I stayed for a while after I got my cardio on and talked to him. We went over some food stuff and all that jazz.

Ugh I need to get my food shit together. I'm suppose to take it to him and let him see it. So we can adjust things accordingly.

I have been seeing a nutritionist and I really don't feel like it's doing me any justice. I think I'll learn more from Scott than her. He will hold me accountable and I think I will do much better.

We are going to a high protein low carb diet. It's optimum for weight loss. I'm so excited to be on this journey. I wish I would have did it sooner. REally I do.

Feeling good about things

So, with my dx the other day. I am actually at peace. I can say that I am ok with everything, I think mainly because I know I am doing everything I can to prevent any further damage to my liver. Yes, I wish it wasn't me, but can I change what has happened? No!

Life suddenly has a new outlook and I am happy with myself for what I am doing. I must say I wish I would have did this a lot sooner. Scott is so motivational, he's really a good guy and he works me hard, but I am at the infacy stage of starting to love me. I haven't loved me in a long long time.

Working out is such an emotional thing to for. It really helps me relax and get rid of stress in my life. Punching the shit out of a bag is fucking awesome. Or my fav. Bench pressing and free weights. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

One day, when I am a beast and strong as an Ox. I'm going to have scott bring his wife Dee in as a guest trainer and I really want to try olympic lifting. FUCKING AWESOME!

I am going to link some info on FLD if any of you are curious about more info on it.

All and all, I love me, and I love my family and friends.

Fatty Liver Disease

My session with Scott

Today, it rocked my socks off, seriously. I LOVE weight lifting, there's something so empowering about it. Makes me wanna RAWR. So we did some back stuff today. then used dumbbells. Scott likes dumbells. I for one, think they might be the death of me. I did bench pressing. LOVED IT! L.O.V.E.D it. Then there comes MetCon. My arch nemisis. I did, 90 step ups, 90 squats, 90 pushups and 60 should lifts. HOLYFUCK! I rock.

There's nothing like threatening a girl with a liver transplant to get her motivated eh?

Yesterday morning I was diagnosed with a more severe form of fatty liver disease. I just happen to have the kind that makes the liver inflamed and scars it also. I'm about halfway to a liver transplant as my GI told me. Wanna talk about a plethera of emotions?? I CANNOT blame myself, but it's hard not too. Hard not think that if I would have just lost that weight sooner I would be going through this shit. But I am, and the only place to go from here is up. So here I go, up up and away!

My legs hate life but that's ok. It's all worth the pain. No pain no gain right?!?!
