Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

Breakfast: yogurt (80), and cheerios (150)-230

Snack: 1 cup of coffee with 1 coffeemate thing-40?

Lunch: 1 piece of ww bread with turkey and lettuce, some mac and cheese, 3 small slices of watermelon

dinner: some tofu, spinach and corn, some peach cobbler w/ whipped cream (oops…i lost my self control..anyone know where it went?)…and a reese’s pb cup..ugh oops

after gym snack: some mac and cheese, pb m&ms and an apples–way off plan

5 bottles of water down, 1 to go.

gym: 35 min elliptical, 30 min weights and abs

while I am doing well on the going to the gym everyday front, im not doing so well on the food control front. yikes. going to have to think and dig deeply about self control, and why i dont have it. advice anyone? and the “dont keep it in the house” doesnt work–i live in a house with 55 people and the kitchen is stocked with a variety of things…so i cant pick what’s there..only what i eat.

ultimately, today was terrible food wise. i snacked too much, ate too much macaroni and cheese, and too much candy/chocolate. tomorrow is a new day but i need to constantly remind myself why I am doing this, and what my goals are…both longterm and short term.

for now, i need to remind myself than i would love to be no more than 195 on friday and fit into size 12 pants for spring break!

i need to overcome all food temptations and remain strong–however hard it may be..

ive also just realized that even if they are estimations, it is important to put calories down so that subconciously i keep my food intake within a certain range…i now realize after my terrible eating today, that having a general calorie range and knowing how much i have left, etc keeps me in check throughout the day. not have a calorie range is a shit show…now i know for tomorrow to generally/accurately estimate my calories so that I stick clearly within range am am concious of everything that i put in my mouth..

i went through and clicked on my blogroll list, and so many of my blogger chick friends are gone…i guess they stopped updating their blogs, so they got deleted…thats so depressing to me…I hope they’re doing okay…i suppose i could think it’s an accomplishment that I’m still here…but man, that made me sad.

ALSO, anyone know where tylerdurden/josephine went?! she deleted her blog…

glad so many of you are still here! i dont know what id do without you! <3

ok, ive been failing. i realize now (obviously) that if I dont blog daily, read your blogs, write comments and read all of yours, that I just cant/do not stay on track. For some reason, my inner psyche takes my not blogging as a free pass to eat wrecklessly and and not care and eat shit like cookies and cheetos, and too much cheese and carbs, and not enough fruits, veggies and good proteins. so, obviously im back to blogging. one good thing i have going for me is that i have a gym partner and i went to the gym tonight…but obviously the gym doesnt matter if I’m constantly eating shit.

so, starting tomorrow I’m back to bloggin about EVERYTHING i eat…calorie counting at this point is still not very important because it’s just too hard to do, but I need to write down/blog EVERYTHING i eat, from every bit of cheese, tortilla chips, m&ms, apples, candy etc that go through my mouth–even if it’s a bite. and back to blogging my gym stuff too…when I’m completely on track, motivated and focused to eat well, I can be so disciplined…btu when I dont think about it or focus on it…its kind of a shit show…so time to get back on track.

next official weigh in is on Friday. Hoping for okay results then. I’ve got 3 days to work on it seriously..

Also, my next mini goal is to get to 179 asap. also, id love to fit into one of my size 12 pants by spring break (march 19) which is 4 weeks away. it’s highly doubtful I’ll actually reach that..but I feel like if I’m highly disciplined…i could get there..or get close. SO ya…thats the most important goal right now which is size 12 pants by then…aka 2lb loss per week and even then it will be a stretch.

ok full on blogging tomorrow!
