| My Name |
| My name is Jessica, but only my mother is aloud to call me that. You can call me Jessi. I'm 23 years old, mother of a happy-go-lucky two year old little girl, named Amelie, and a wife of a wonderful and handsome man named Bo. |
| My Blog |
| This is my diet blog. I've tried others before and have failed. I have to keep track of what I have eaten and this is my way of doing it. Feel free to comment and make suggestions. |
| My Goal |
| My long term goal is to lose 150 pounds. Yes, I am aware that is a lot, but I have to lose a lot too. I have had many problems due to being overweight including: PCOS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and a few others left to name. |
| My Life |
| I was born and raised in Panama City, FL. I've been here all my life. I graduated from A. Crawford Mosley High School in 2003. I got married May 21, 2005 and had my first child November 26, 2005. Today, I am a stay at home mother and an army wife, trying to get by day to day as normal as possible. Which, if you know me, you know how hard that can be! I love my family, my friends, and my life. There are just a few changed I want to make to it, starting with my weight. |
| My Future, My Dreams. |
| I grew up in ballet class. I loved it so much. Then, there came a time in middle school that I had to give up the thing I loved to make the grade. I quit ballet and from there on, my life became harder. I gained weight, a lot of weight. Now, a high school graduate of five years, my dream is to lose that weight and get back into ballet and continue my dreams. I've always wanted to be a prima ballerina, but even if I cannot achieve that dream, I want ballet to be involved in my future. |

Here is the info on the new drink called Celsius:
What if you could enjoy the great taste of a soda and actually burn calories?
This simple question sparked more than two years of scientific research and taste trials that led to the development of Celsius®, the Earth's first calorie-burning soda that boosts energy levels. Celsius Holdings Inc., has its roots as a sports nutrition company with the goal of bringing healthier refreshment through science and innovation. It was important that Celsius be proven to work. Our double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical research confirmed its functional benefit. We discovered that Celsius:
1. raises metabolism on average by 12% and
2. significantly increases calorie-burning and energy for up to for three hours.
Celsius has created a whole new functional food category that burns calories without sacrificing taste. Celsius is designed to be a great replacement beverage for people that like the taste of a soda, the energy of an energy drink or coffee, but don't want the calories and chemicals that are found in them. Celsius is unique in that it is designed to be as natural as possible. Celsius has no chemical preservatives, no carbs, no sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, and is very low sodium. And Celsius is loaded with good for you ingredients such as Green Tea with EGCG, Ginger, Calcium, Chromium, B Vitamins, and Vitamin C.
Celsius is the Earth's first proven "thermogenic" calorie-burning beverage with the great taste of a soft drink. Celsius works by raising your metabolism on average 12% for up to three hours, resulting in a sustained energy boost and additional calories burned.
A clinical research study released June 18, 2005 at the International Society of Sports Nutrition conference proved that Celsius burns calories. The double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical study showed that drinking one 12-ounce bottle of Celsius increases metabolism on average 12% for up to a 3-hour period. Elevated metabolism is what allows you to burn more calories.
A double-blind study, placebo controlled, crossover clinical study is considered the Gold Standard. A double blind study is the type in which neither the investigators nor the subjects know who is ingesting the actual substance being investigated, in this case Celsius, and who is ingesting the placebo. A placebo-controlled study compares the effects of a “real” substance, in this case Celsius, to the effects of the placebo that tastes and looks exactly like the real one, in this case a leading diet soft drink. In a crossover study each subject gets both the “real” substance and the placebo. For example in this study each subject was investigated drinking Celsius and then tested after drinking the placebo. The order in which a subject was tested was random. Sounds complex, but that’s why it is the Gold Standard and we wanted to be certain Celsius met the Gold Standard.
It's the scientifically-based Thermogenic Proprietary Blend that gives Celsius its fire and raises your metabolism.
Metabolism is the chemical and physical processes continuously going in your body, much like an internal furnace. Unfortunately not all of us have metabolisms that process at the same rate. Some people have a fast metabolism, others have a slow metabolism. Your metabolic rate is affected by sex, age, amount of lean body mass (muscle), whether you exercise and what you consume.
Your nutrient needs depend on your particular metabolic rate. You not only need calories, but also protein, vitamins and minerals. The best way to get these nutrients is to choose a well-balanced diet.
Thermogenesis literally refers to the creation of heat (thermo: heat, genesis: creation). When we create heat, we burn additional calories. Any substance which stimulates the body's resting metabolic rate (RMR) and raises body temperature is called a thermogenic agent. Celsius is packed with thermogenic agents that work with your metabolism to turn up the heat in your internal furnace and burn extra calories.

So these past couple days, I should have probably eaten better. I start seeing my dietitian on Monday to work things out. I just feel so hungry all the time. Anyhow, I promise I will do better this weekend. I am going out to lunch with a friend today, but I am going to eat something healthy. As far as the slice of pizza, my husband's friend did it. He kept showing it to me and taunting me with it. My will power finally gave in. I wish he hadn't told me it was even in the house!! Poop.

Okay, I about killed myself about those fried corn chips. When I ate them, I had no idea they were fried..I thought they were just regular corn chips. Then Jasmine came out and told me. I was like OMG!!!! I wanted to turn back time. I also, about dinner time, got really, really hungry and I had a headache, so I went ahead and had a sandwich. I know, not good, but I was starving. I tried to make up for it in crunches last night and I will work hard tonight at the gym. No solid food for me today, either. Bad me. |

1.5 hrs cleaning out my car
Okay, so here is what happened. I missed the Total Body Fusion class yesterday morning because I had to go to my Stampin' Up Club meeting. So, since I knew the childcare closed at 1pm, I got a sitter. I drove all the way over to the gym, go up to the front door to see that they closed at 2pm. It was 2:05pm. The paper I had said they were open until 6pm, but well, apparently the paper was wrong! Grr! I was so mad! So, since I had a sitter, I went and cleaned my car out. It really needed it anyway. I said to myself, "Well, I guess I will just do some working out tonight while Amelie is asleep." But I ended up going to my Mom's and we went to Wal-Mart and I didn't get home until about 9pm and I updated this blogger because if I went any longer not posting, I would have forgotten what I did. Then I laid down with Amelie and fell asleep. Ugh. I have church this morning, but I really plan on getting some heavy house work done today. I can't make it to the gym because I will have Myleigh for the hours they are open today. So I am going to try my hardest to workout during nap and/or while Amelie is asleep tonight. Ugh. BTW, yesterday was the first day I missed the gym in 11 days. Poo. |
