Day 42
Weigh-In Day. I'm at 145.8, so .2lbs gained, but that's just fluctuation, so I'm still okay with it. We've been sick (not bad, just...blech) so I haven't been working out, but I'm still trying to stay within 1200 calories/day. As soon as the pukey feelings go away, I really want to start jogging OUTSIDE. I'm already tired of the treadmill. ;)

Day 35
Monday, February 15th: Weigh-In Day!
I weighed in at 145.6!!! This is 2lbs down from last week! 5lbs lost total! I'm impressed, because I didn't do the treadmill this week. Instead I kept eating...better... than I usually do, and last Thursday I walked ALL around Cedar City, lol- (Walmart) for hours on end. I'm sooo dang excited to be losing weight. I renewed my license while I was in Cedar, and put 145 as my weight, so now I'm not lying. ;) I'm not feeling to well today, but I AM excited to get back on the treadmill sometime this week and keep eating right. I'm happy to say that my mind is slowly wrapping itself around the idea of "healthy" food. I find that I gross out if I look at certain foods I used to eat, and I can only eat a few bites of the sugary snacks now when before, I could hork down a whole panful of cinnamon rolls! So- I am making progress. Slowly but surely. :)

Day 28
I can't believe it's been almost a whole month since I first started this! I have only lost 3 lbs, but hey- that's still LESS than what I was when I started. :) Today is "weigh-in" day again. The scale says I'm still 147.6 lbs- but I'm feeling okay about it because 1) I didn't exercise last week, and 2) I'm full-blown in the middle of my period. Therefore, I'm hoping that NEXT Monday will show a little bit less on the scale. *crossing fingers*
I'm totally hurting today. Lots of cramps and heaviness, so the "exercise" I'm going to do is typical deep-cleaning housework. We have people from the power company coming tomorrow to check the air flow and efficiency this old house has as far as keeping the heat in, so the house needs to be spotless- so my heartrate will definately be up there today, which is a good thing, since on a "normal" painful period day, I'd just be lying in bed.
We'll see what happens!

Day 24
Thursday February 4, 2010
I will probably resort to posting every few days or so instead of everyday, because I have now learned how to eat within my caloric guidelines without writing everything down. :) I'm still struggling, I admit to that, but I will NOT chicken out this time. I will KEEP going, even if it takes me all year. I WILL lose this weight! :)
I'm feeling -okay- with my choices as of today, because the less my body "needs" to eat, and the more I need to pee (lol), means that I'm making progress!! Even if I can't SEE it. I know my mindset is changing when I see other family members eating fatty, greasy foods like hotpockets and DiJiorno's pizza and automatically think to myself... "unhealthy!". Lol. I go back to eating my cracker-thin crust chicken garlic pizza, my huge green-leaf (no longer the unsatisfying iceburg lettuce!) lettuce salad, or saying "no" to those darn tempting peanut-butter m&m's. :)
It's slow, but it's working! This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. NOT just a fad diet. :)

Day 20
Wow. I'm not being very good at updating this blog every day. I'll keep trying, though. This past week was my 2nd week, but I'm on day 20? I dunno. It doesn't make sense. Anyway. This past week I did really good on my calories and exercise. I weighed myself yesterday and I was at 150, but today I weighed myself (because it's "weigh-in" day) and I weigh 147! I HATE that my scale is so old, so I'm going to have Benji pick up a brand NEW scale today at Walmart while he's in St.George. Ugh. I hate not really knowing how much I've lost. It's also my "visitor" week, and I should be "starting" any day now, which means that I'm bound to gain like 2-3 pounds just because it's "that" time. It's so much fun being a girl! Ugh. But I'm going to just go with today's reading. 147. Meaning I've lost 3 lbs so far! That's big for me, since I always seem to weigh 150 week after week after week when I'm NOT doing this "diet". Yay me!
