So far I’m not actually craving soda, however whenever I’m thristy I think to grab a diet coke so I’m realizing it much more of a habit then I thought. Also I didn’t realise how much the caffine affected me, I have been getting really tired and small headaches which I never get. All this while annoying at the moment just makes me really happy I decided to give it up. I had no idea it was hurting me so much. I have replaced diet coke mainly with sparkling flavored water which is 0-10 cals so not going to affected me calories wise, though I might have the occasional lemonade. I missed the bubbles from soda so sparkling water seemed a natural choice though I need to figure out if the carbonation is something i should worry about. While I know this won’t be life long ban, I just want to make soda an occasional drink, I’m taking it one day at a time and am going until I feel comfortable which my relationship with soda. Wish me luck!

For the past few weeks, basically when I started the internship. Whats great about the internship is that its basically 8-12 hours 3 days a week of being on my feet, which is really my only exercise. However, I am completely surrounded by food, I mean catered breakfeast and lunch and a kitchen filled with EVERYTHING. Honestly, I’m a bit amazed a my restraint, I know that a year or two ago I would have gone a bit crazy. That said I have no idea how many calories I am eating. My plan was to eat only 1200 cal a day, because technically that would have me losing 3lbs a week. I realized that that was a bit unrealistic. New goal is to get to 190 by the time school starts, Aug. 24 ( I actually want to get there by Aug. 12, but we’ll see). So thats 12 lbs in 8 weeks or 6 if I’m good, definetly achievable. Also I going to try to give up soda, I have a terrible diet coke addiction that I am throughly sick of, so I am moving on to sparkingly water, and other hopefully low cal drinks. Also I will be forcing myself to keep up this food journal which has always helped me so much. Wish me luck!!

Weigh-in #4

So As I’ll write in the next post, I have not been on track for the past few weeks, though I have been doing generally better than normal. I’m at 202, about 3 lbs heavier than I was hoping to be at this point, but still a downward trend. Wish me luck that I’ll be better and hopefully more on top of this blog!

Internship

Filed Under Concerns | Leave a Comment

So I’m starting an internship tomorrow, unpaid ( I have literally applied for 30 jobs and have gotten none of them, I’m only here for the summer and there are so many people applying for the same jobs I don’t really blame anyone fore not getting them, but I NEED money), it is in the film industry which is what I’m studying in school and it will be great to have on a resume. But I’m worried about my diet or healthy eating. Once on set I’m at the mercy of craft services, which usually has some healthy fare, but I’m afraid more that I’m just going to be stressed out and not have as much control. Though the last time when I worked on a short film I thought that for sure I had gained weight, but it turned out that I had actually lost a few, which had more to do with forgetting to eat than eating healthy so I’m hoping to avoid that. Anyways I start tomorrow and am nervous as hell so wish me luck!

Weigh-in #3

So I weighed myself Sunday and I’m at 204!!! Yeah Right on track! Actually one of the biggest things I noticed is being on a smaller belt loop. I have this brown belt that is meant to be worn at the actual waist and I wear it with EVERYTHING. People are in shock if I don’t have something belted aroung my waist. Anyways it is an XL belt which I worn on the two smallest holes when I was at my heaviest 230 and then I had three extra holes put in when I when down to 190.  When I gained back some of the weight I was at the largest of the new holes, but as of last night I’m back to the smallest!!!! Small victories! It made me so excited to get heathy that I started going through fitness and health mags at midnight. At this point I have to tuck the belt end into itself so for fashions sake I should just get a new belt when I lose more weight since its just going to look ridiculous. But I might just get some new holes put in that go to my goal waist size just so I have the satisfaction of seeing how much progress I make. 4 more belt holes to go!!!
