Just the weigh I am.

A horrible photo today with a vein popping out of my head, but I’m too lazy to take another photo. Got my hair done today. Been growing out my highlights and got the bottom to match my natural hair color. I’m happy with how it came out. The photo doesn’t do it justice.

Couldn’t resist weighing myself this morning, one day early.
202!
I am ecstatic.
And tonight I’m going out to eat to wreck my official weigh-in tomorrow.

But you know what? I’m so happy. I’m doing it and I’m determined. I WILL reach my goal of ONEderland for the end of this month. YES.

Breakfast:
- nutrisystem granola bar
- a banana

Lunch:
- nutrisystem chicken salad
- an orange

Dinner:
- probably salad with horrible dressing. oh well.

Everyone deserves a treat once in a while, right?
Plus, my hair looks awesome. I have to go out.

I ended off the year weighing 209 on December 29th when I last weighed myself. Since then I tried a bit more, but New Year’s Eve stuffed my face again full of lobster dip and crackers, a turkey dinner, homemade cookies, and chocolate cheesecake.

January 2nd:
206.6

Fuck yeah. Happy Freakin’ 2009.
ONEderland by the end of the month is my current goal.

A review for myself of 2009’s weight loss.
- January, I decided it was time to lose weight after reaching my heaviest weight ever.
- February, I started Nutrisystem.
- By mid summer, lost 30 pounds.
- By the end of the summer, gained 20 pounds back.
- Fluctuating from September to early December, lost 16 pounds.
- Holidays, gained 5 pounds.
- The new year: started losing again.

I went out with a bunch of my friends from high school tonight. I had an absolutely fabulous time. We went to Olive Garden. All I ate was salad. Everyone else had entrees and I felt left out but then I was like I AM HAVING SALAD OH YEAH!! I did eat a breadstick or two, though. I could’ve done worse, though. Way worse. I’m pleased with my not giving into temptation tonight.

I didn’t want my night to end, though, and I ended up doing this:

Energy drinks don’t help my diet but oh well.

I completed my 101 things to do in 1001 days list today. I am really excited about it. I have a couple diet goals on there. I’ve almost completed the first one - lose 25 pounds.

I’m going strong.
I need more blogs here at 3fc to add to my blogroll.

I decided to only weigh myself in the mornings after I peeeeee!
I’ve been starting to weigh myself too much and obsess over it.

209 today!!

Hopefully after this week when TOM goes away and I am less bloated I will start seeing more results.

I had a rough couple days. I went out to eat twice and I also indulged in some crazy expensive milk chocolate and dark chocolate covered biscuits that were brought as a gift by my grandparent’s friends. I’ve been dreading getting on the scale, but I finally did it this morning.

WHAT?! I lost a pound? I don’t understand how, but I decided I’m not going to complain.

This morning, I’m going out to eat with my great uncle. I plan on getting a greek salad and only using half the dressing. I don’t think that’s too bad. I’m getting together with a friend of mine later today, as well, and I know we will probably grab something to eat. I’m going to try and find the healthiest thing on the menu. Maybe a grilled chicken sandwich and I won’t eat the top part of the bun. I’ll figure it out.

My goal for this week is to not eat out at all until Saturday when our weekly trip to Olive Garden for salad usually occurs. I treat myself to salad and a day out each week. However, I had too many treats this week. Blah.

My goal for next week is to lose 2 or more pounds. Not unreasonable, I think, since I still have so much to lose. It always comes off pretty fast in the beginning so I’m going to enjoy it before I plateau.

Hopefully in a few weeks, I’ll be staring at ONEderland. <3

Lost 2 more pounds!

Today was really hard for me. I had a bit of a let-down today and it made me want to eat, and eat, and eat.

Thankfully, Josh was so good to me. He took me home and we cut up some nice tomatoes which I ate with cottage cheese instead of indulging in something that was bad for me. He’s so good to me. Eating would have only made me feel worse once I realize my weight loss had once again been foiled, anyway.

We might go to the olive garden tonight so I can pig out on salad. See, I just need to choose better treats for myself. Thankfully, Josh has been very supportive in helping me do so.
