Hey Ladies & Gents!!
I'm Still here, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I'm such a horrible blogger, With the new Job, I been focusing my time on not being on the computer as much.. The nicer weather is here too, Which makes me not want to be inside anymore.. at one time in my life I'd stay inside and not give a crap about the weather but, I'm loving the beautiful weather and planing a lot of physical activities for the summer.
My Journey is still going, Kinda hit a hiccup the last few weeks, Nothing Major Just been staying at the same Weight more or less, But The gym was lacking.. Which I know was my reason for the Maintaining. Which I'd Rather Maintain then gain so I'm happy for that at least, With the beautiful weather finally starting to really hit, I'm planing to incorporate walks into my work out routines.. Cut the gym down a bit (not a lot actually I probably wont even CUT down on the gym but Maybe do walking in between my gym days..
But I'am doing great.. I'm sorry for the delay in writing I should of let you guys know whats going on!!
Miss you all! <3 will keep you guys posted!

Doctors Appointment Fail!
Well, I finally had my Doctors appointment! What a failure & complete utter waste of time it was, Thinking my doctor would be proud of me, I Got NO response from him what so ever, He just sat there.. did nothing, Said Nothing, Didn't tell me where he would like me to be at, I asked him to be refereed to see a nutrionist.. Which is good, At least I got that out of him,
I tried to talk to him about something I have not even written in my blog about something I struggle with daily.What I Struggle with daily is that fact that some days I don't feel like eating at all.. I Do eat, but I have this huge GUILT over me.. I associate food with gaining weight and it scares me because I don't want to go back to the way I was before..I know that I can loose weight by eating my 3 Meals a day ect.. I'v BEEN doing it but something in my mind keeps me having this guilt over me. He really didn't say much about it.. which was stupid and kinda not what I was hoping for but.. Whatever I'll deal with it myself I suppose lol
Besides that.. Never said anything at all.. was disappointing but whatever, I'll Go see him when I feel i'm at some sort of healthy weight, See if he says anything then..
Tonight was my first day on the job (well second but) first day by my self :) was great I really enjoyed it :) Very easy Job Nothing to it really :) So far I only have 2 shifts a week but its a great start for me :) I work Friday/Saturday's Not much hours but its enough to get me started!!
I feel like things in my life are taking great turns for me.. Great things are happening I couldn't be more happier :)

Monica's Skinny Soup
In the cold Months I love me some soup & for some odd reason when I eat the soup I tend to see more Weight Loss? Not sure why but.. Here is Monica's Skinny Soup :)
*Disclaimer* I'm not a Chef... So this is good to me, I really hope you Enjoy it too :) If for whatever reason you don't enjoy this soup I'm really sorry You tried it :( lol
Ingredients:
2 Boxes Low Sodium Chicken Broth ( I always look for the LOWEST sodium Possible)
5 Large Carrots
1/2 White Onion ( or your choice of onion)
Basil/Summer Savory ( or whatever spices you like in your soups)
2 Boneless chicken breast
2 Cups Alphabet Noodles *You can use any type of noodle I like the Alphabet because they are smaller)
(If you enjoy your soup More liquidity then Hearty, I'd suggest 1 Cup.. I like my soup a little more Hearty :)
How 2:
1. Boil Chicken in separate pot,
2. Boil Noodles In Separate pot as well ( Don't Fully cook them.. I only cooked them for about 5 mins.. Till they are half way cooked about.)
3 While Chicken & Noodles are cooking, Chop Carrots,Onions.. You can chop to whatever desire size I like my onions diced small, While my carrots Bigger
4.Pour 2 Boxes of Chicken Broth in big pot add spices *I eye it.. A Pinch of Summer Savory, few dashes of Basil
5.Add your Veggies *You Can Add Other Veggies as well, This is just all I had on hand
6. Start to Cook, I like to cook mine on low heat because I usually have lots of time.. But if your in a hurry, You can Boil this faster if you would like!
7. Check on your Chicken.. Once its fully cooked take out of water.. Let cool, then Shred, chop whatever you prefer, I prefer to shred my chicken.
8. Once your Carrots are pretty well cooked, Add Chicken & Noodles
9. Cooking time depends, however I'd Say about 20-30 Mins It should be all ready to go :)
I can get about 8 Servings out of this.. (Sometimes more) 1 cup servings.
2 Boxes Chicken Broth with Basil & Pinch Of summer Savory
Add Veggie's If you feel you want more add more :) I don't really have exact Numbers as I usually just eye it :)
Carrots are just about cooked, Time to add the Chicken!
Don't forget the Noodles!!

A Struggling Week.
I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses but last week was probably the worst week I have had since my journey started.. I'm happy to say that things are back on track but boy's oh boys it was just bad
With something as simple as going to get some new clothes on the weekend it regained my focus and motivation back to where it should be... This weekend I had to go purchase some new clothes because I'm going to be starting a job on Friday :) My sister got me 2 shifts at the Tanning Salon she work's at.. It's only 2 Shifts a week, but for somebody who has not worked in years because of her weight, 2 shifts is a great start for me, I'm extremely HAPPY.. I Purchased a new pair of JEANS! Which was great because this was one thing I have not purchased to see how far I have come since my journey started in September... I'v gotten a few shirts here and there But here are the stats on how much I'v changed in the past few months..
Shirts BEFORE 5-6XL NOW 3XL
Jeans BEFORE 36 NOW 26 *The way our Sizes work they go in two's so.. That's 6 Pant sizes DOWN, Say what? I couldn't believe it!
This gave me just the boost I needed, To get my ass back in gear
I'v Found A picture from September 2011 About 2 weeks before i started my journey and WOW!! I'm going to work on the picture to show you guys because.. it's unbelievable!
I'm sorry this blog is a little everywhere.. Considering I have been Lost for the last week, I have so much to say :) I'll save some words for my next post, As I have more exciting news to share :)
Dusting Last week Under the Rug, and starting Fresh,
Monica <3
**Edit** So I found the picture here it is..

Will do another body shot at 70lbs Loss, So in about 10lbs :) lol
