First off...I did NOT get SICK.....YEAH! After being sick with the horrible stomach bug hubby is better and back to work today, he was sick for 5 days...and I mean REALLY sick.....
WHINING...
MOANING...
GROANING...
IRRITATING...
DRIVING ME NUTS......kidding. I did feel bad for him but it was getting old....lol! PS....Terry we did not get flu shots.
This weekend was Good and Bad.....it was a fabulous time shopping, socializing and such, but eating wasn't so great as it normally can be when company is in town. But I am pushing the restart button today!
Let's just say that when I saw a story on Fox News this morning that talked about *sugar* being as addictive as heroin...I seriously believe it. I may have been a bit like a junkie yesterday. *sigh*
Oh well, I am human...
I am imperfect...
I do forgive myself...
I cannot be alone with cookies...
Have a beautiful Monday, I will be here detoxing and staying warm by the fire because the high today is 6 degrees. YIKES~
Yikes! I hate the flu...Gene has been sick for 3 days. He went to work but was feeling awful! It is the stomach flu too......ICK!
We were suppossed to have company arriving today, but they decided to stay at a hotel instead because they didn't want to get sick. They have kids and chose to not want the flu to run through their house.
I will be meeting them in about 30 minutes for dinner and shopping. We are going to Texas Roadhouse (I have never been) and this will be my ONE meal out for the week.
I must admit am starting to feel cold and achey so I sincerely hope I am not getting sick.....damnit~
I hope you had a great Friday~
((((HUGS))))
It's been a busy week, working, decorating, getting ready for company tommorrow. And recovering from hives......lol!
I am finially back posting videos on You Tube so please check those out if you haven't already, it's really great to be back.
I am going to try and get back to the gym next week, I do not want to wait until January to get back into a regular workout schedule~
It has been busy at the salon...sometimes it's alot of work making people *beautiful* all day....and at the end of the day you don't feel so *beautiful* yourself! lol~
I hope your day is going well~ PS....I was 227 today and I could NOT be happier! My goal is to get to 224 before Dec 31 and I will have lost 30# this year which is amazing for me!
:-) I have never lost more than 25# ever and kept it off this long....the longest was 3 months....YEAH for me~
Peace~
Oh my, oh my, I hate hives...I have been absolutely miserable! It all started Saturday night...got a little better yesterday and then the worst Sunday night. I have had little or no sleep so I am seriously exhasted~ I did see my Dr. this AM and she gave me a Dose pack, that will stop the scratch/itch cycle. I am feeling better already~
I did however manage to stay within my calories for the weekend although I did not track on daily plate...I am back to tracking this AM...
I hope you all have a beautiful day, we are expecting a big, winter storm tonight through tommorrow so that is exciting~ :-)
Good Morning.....I decided that I need to be tracking my food a little more carefully. One of my subscribers on You Tube checked out my blog after I mentioned not losing much weight after changing my whole way of eating. She said I may be getting too many carbs. SO.....I am going back to tracking on dailyplate.com! I will still be blogging here, it will just not be my food diary. I need to have somewhere to record my thoughts and feelings for the day, and that will be here.
You can find my food/exercise by searching for KarlaKayM on dailyplate.com.
Please do not feel pressured to check here and check there to keep track of me. I understand there are only so many hours in the day. I am only doing this because it's a great tracking system and it was working great so I am going back to it. Plus, it will also track my exercise also and it lays everything out in graphs ect. which I seriously love~
On the good side I weighed this morning and I was down 2# today. I was down to 228# then I bounced back to 230#....now I am back to 228# at least for today anyway.
Terry (Trboh) if you are reading this...I guess I am not making my goal for December 31st. My goal was to get to 204#. But I did not fail because I feel like I have made HUGE strides in my eating and have stuck with it. I started eating whole and less processed on November 13th. So, next Sat. it will be almost a month, and it has made a major difference on how I feel, act, and even carry myself. Someone asked me yesterday how much more weight I had lost..... So, I must *look* better! I do feel like it's so important when following a healthy eating lifestyle to be sure that you are tracking the *non-scale* victories along the way. Changing my eating is extending my life and *that* is the most important thing of all, now isn't it?
I hope you have a beautiful Friday! I will be taking all the lights back off theChristmas tree this morning as one of them has a short. I promise I did not say the *F* word at all last night after the whole tree went dark.....lol! (Yeah right!) There might be lots of swearing going on today....in fact you just might be able to hear me clear at your house! lol!

I planned out my day this morning because I have to work later, I always do way better if I have everything tracked and written down, because it will keep me from snacking on things that I didn't plan on. It's essential for me to have all my snacks planned out or I will be hungry and go off plan!
I have a few extra calories for something extra tonight along with the banana and berries....more than likely it will be some Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Cereal and skim Milk.....or some yogurt and granola!
I hope you have a beautiful day! :-) PS....check out my fiber for today! lol!

I hope you had a beautiful day! IT is super cold here, and colder because if the snow! I have had the fireplace lit all day and it has been nice and toasty in here......I was off work today!
This morning we awoke to about 2" of beautiful, fluffy white snow! I adore snow and always enjoy the *first* snow of the season. I love to look out in our yard and see all white, before the dogs have made tracks all over.
There is something so magical about snow. It covers a dead and ugly lawn with a perfect pure layer of beauty. The trees are now all white too, and when the sun shines it looks like little diamonds.
How can you not love snow, and Winter? I do!
Let It Snow...Let It Snow...Let It Snow!
PS....I know I changed the backround AGAIN but I just couldn't resist with the new fallen snow...I think the blue is really peaceful! :-)

I beat the cream cheese, cocoa, and sugar and a little skim milk together until smooth and poured this over a mashed up, overripe banana.....YUMMY!

3 slices Homemade pizza (whole wheat crust, tomatos, onions, spinach, feta, and mozzarella)
This Pizza is amazing and when I make it I never miss the meat, because I am not fond of meat anyway (only chicken)

I did very well I only ate a bit of this and a bit of that I have no idea how many calories but I know that it was no more than 700-800.....and I only had a small (tiny) sliver of pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. When I got home I ate a small amount of stuffing a little wheat dinner roll and about 4 oz of turkey~plus I drank 64 oz. of water today~
All in all I consider this a VERY successful holiday eating day. I am usually VERY VERY out of control and I usually binge and then go home feeling guilty and crappy and have a gut ache.
I am very proud of myself today!
Have a beautiful day everyone!~

I like to figure out my menu for the day (especially when I have to work) then there isn't a question what I eat.....if I track it already then I won't back out! I decided to forgo a snack tonight because I got off work late and didn't eat dinner until 7PM (after I baked the squash) instead I used butter and brown sugar which was amazing~ I baked the squash then put the butter and brown sugar in the squash and broiled for 5 min. YUM......it's crazy that I didn't know that I liked squash!
Happy Thanksgiving ALL!!!

This was a wonderful eating day...I felt satisfied allllllllllllll day...even though my calories were a little low, I do think the ey was starting the day out with protein (eggs) I am going to try and eat more eggs because my body responds to them.....I may hard boil some eggs in the morning while baking some chicken!

This is the Lo Fat Granola that I made today, I will never spend $3-$4 a lb. at the health food store for granola ever again.....easy and wonderful! Oats, Flax Seed, Wheat germ, Honey, Coconut, Cranberries, Orange and Cherry Crasins, Pecans and Walnuts 230cal per 1/2 cup! YUMMY!
The Orange Juice I made this morning! I juiced about 8 oranges and got approx. 36 oz. of fresh juice no sugar added! YEAH!This Pizza was AWESOME!
I will make it again, it was so flavorful I didn't even miss the meat! YUMMO!
Yes, today is my birthday! I do not feel a day over 29.....lol!
Today, started early...I woke up at 5:45 A.M. and couldn't sleep anymore. I decided to just get up and start my day. I am always glad when I wake up early because I feel like I have so much more of my day! :-)
So far it's only 8:25 A.M. and I already got the best birthday present ever...I lost 2 lbs. in the last few days of following a whole, unprocessed eating plan.
For me, I feel that processed food is toxic and it's been what has been holding me back from losing weight and truly feeling healthy.
We will be going out for lunch or dinner today for my birthday and I will eat what I want but I will be more choosey when I make my selection today. Even though it's my birthday, the best gift I can give myself is putting healthy food in my body!
Take care! Have a beautiful day!
Today, is my 3rd day of eating *clean* and basically unprocessed and I cannot tell you how much better I feel already. Here are some things I have noticed after just 3 days:
I do not feel tired
I have lots of energy
I cannot believe how satisfied I am (whole food really sustains you for a longer period of time)
I am seriously having to remind myself to eat
I feel in control
I don't feel bloated
I am not nearly as irritiable
I am going to begin tracking my food on this blog starting on Monday, I will also include pictures and videos that are relivant.
I will also at times include posts/pictures/videos about my life that I feel might be entertaining.
~Please follow me on my journey~
