Well, the countdown is on, I have about 6 months to lose weight for my wedding… since I said I was going to I couldve lost 20-30 already! Sheesh! Where does teh time go??? Anywho- I am getting married on the beach in September and I wanna look and feel fabulous! Especially to shock people who haven’t seen me in a while! It would be great!!! Currently I am back up to almost 200lbs… ugh. Today is Sunday and the start of my new way of life I intend to keep forever! Gym opens at 2 and I plan to go for at least an hour! or take the dogs for a long walk!!!all depends on df and weather!!! I am going to be following the weight watchers flex program… and weigh in on Sundays since I did today… I will try to get on here and blog as much as possible but it may be hard with the long 4 days a week I work… but at least the ones I don’t I will blog~!

And its almost 2008- So, no resolutions just I am going to take care of myself!!!!! Oh, guess resolution will be stop procrastinating, and become organized, but other than that!!! LOL.. I will be a healthier slimmer… and hopefully married person in 2008! Even more reason for me to get with it!!! We’re planning to get married Aug or sept of 08 so Here i go!!!!

Not the easiest thing to do… I’m on it though!!!! My nody is achey and my tummy hurts, I hope I am not coming down with something… regardless, Ive got the christmas cookies out of the house!~ I took them to work and they were gone in no time! yeay! No more tempting cookies for me!!!

Well, Its friday and I am tired! Only 2 more work days to go… ugh. Its been so slow at work, left early today bf gone for the evening and instead of cooking I think I will drink my calories in a couple glasses of wine with a snack! lol. I am so tired, I don’t feel like cooking… and don’t feel too good anyway. Just a bit moody I guess… oh well! Hope you all have a great weekend~! I will spend mine working, unfortunately!

Well, didn’t get all my errands done yesterday, several of them, but not all. I still need to finish up the laundry(in the process now), start on xmas cards, which I will probably do after I get home, and then begin cleaning and packing and organizing my end room that is full of stuff that is partially in boxes from when I moved in 3 years ago! I obviously don’t need all these things!!! Then I am supposed to do hair tonight wow, I have a ton to do and should get my butt off this computer and get ready! I slept in late today, don’t know if maybe my body just needed it or what but I let myself bc I hate the thought of getting sick! Going to start taking extra vitamin c again today just in case!

Food plans for today = just had some fresh pineapple for breakfast, prob 1.5c, lunch will probably be a sandwich made with tofurkey or grilled cheese along with some soup, snacks may be some baked chips or more soup, dinner- well, I will be at home so I haven’t gotten that far and usually end up eating out with friends, so I will have to be good today and save up some calories for that! Or just hang at home and have one of my frozen things!

Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!!!!

Today went very well… other than the dentist that is! lol… I went shopping a bit tonight too but didn’t find much of anything… went to salsaritas for dinner- yum. Just wanted to post my foods and hopefully it will work*crossing fingers*… Plan to go to the gym tomorrow morning then lots and lots of packing and cleaning to do tomorrow, that will be a workout too!

Food Log

Well, after a crazy morning at the dentist…lol, I just got home and had some veggie chili & a cup of fresh pineapple, don’t know if I am staying in town tonight or going home, if I go home I won’t have the net to post for a couple days, may stay here there are some things I need to do here anayway. I need to go to the gym as well, still waiting on my lip to fully regain feeling! I hate being numbed! however, it beats being drilled on without numbing!

Plans for today=laundry, dishes, xmas cards started, return headphones to target, post office… we’ll see what time I get done with that as to if I go back home or not… off to start laundry- yeay mondays :(  LOL….

Well, today is my “new beginning”!~ I am off to the dentist, that makes me sick to my stomach so I am not going to have breakfast probably, however, going to the dentist may make me not wanna eat later today either!!! SO maybe I will have a bite of something… THEN LOG IT!

As of tomorrow 11/25/07, I will begin changing my eating habits for good!!!!! I am determined to get the rest of the weight off… I am tired of battling this same 10-20lbs over and over!!!!! I am a vegetarian, so I figure the best way to do this will be moderation! I am hoping to count my calories and start exercising regularly~!! I am bad about that! as long as I can make it to the gym I will workout, however, getting there seems to be a problem, and if I don’t go at least every other day I tend to fall off the wagon and its super hard to get back to the gym again! SO- My goals are to work out at least every other day. I plan to eat about 100-200 calories for breakfast, 300-400 for lunch, and 400-500 for dinner and 1-2 100cal snacks in between. I MUST stop drinking empty calories so regularly! I am making it a point to better my health and lose weight, and for this I know I must severely limit my alcohol intake… and when I do drink I will try to drink rum and diet or something very light, no cocktails and few beers. I would eventually love to get back to running/jogging like I used to, which wasn’t much but I was able to jog 2mi without stopping, something I have never been able to do my entire life, now I am lucky if I can go a half mile without walking… so, Gym goals= tone up and be able to jog 2.5 miles. Weigh loss goals= lose 50lbs. Food goals= no fried foods, more fresh vegetables, fewer “white” foods, more organic stuff, and don’t eat out more than 2x per week, and try at least 1 new recipe a week. Oh yeah, and no binge eating!

 With all that said, here are some mini goals that I hope, scratch that… WILL achieve to get me started on the right track to make next year the year I finally meet my goals!!! Lose 10lbs- more importantly fit comfortably again in my smaller clothes, eat 1200-1400 cal a day, workout 3x per week at least 45 minutes each, try 1 new recipe a week, post in my journal/food blog daily when near a computer(should be @ least 4x per week), enter foods eaten, and when no computer write them down so I am able to enter them later.

I have pucshed myself down so many times I am ready to make the commitment that I will STOP sabotaging myself and be the healthy person I really WANT to be…
