A new journey
So my last diet crashed and burned. I am now trying to learn where things went wrong by looking at my past entries and what was going on in my life that I seemed to not want to "share with the class". So I have tried a new weight loss plan..a plan that is going to cost me through the pocket, but is showing some good results right now. Don't worry, it is legal and seems to be giving me more energy now than ever before! I will hopefully be writing more here and on another blog with other women who are having the same journey as me.

Day 9..What happened?
304.6 lbs
I know I messed up bad yesterday..I was starving at night plus I went out to have a few drinks with friends..it was just so frustrating that I didn't even bother writing anything down. I figured this weekend I am going to take off from this blog and just do what I want for now. I shall return on Monday..with hopefully a new look on all of this.

Day 8..No gain is good
303.6 lbs
So I stayed exactly the same today. I did eat a lot more last night than I have recently I almost felt like eating more after the bad date I had at lunch..I sometimes wonder if the weight is the only issue I have..I can have really great conversations with people, but as soon as they see my weight being a factor they run for the hills. Yes, I brought this upon myself, but there are other factors that are included in my weight gain..such as genetics. The weight factor skips a generation in my family..so I unfortunately was the one to get it. The men are surprisingly never affected..ugh..Today I am going to eat less fruity snacks and in its place put actual fruit..I will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

Day 7..Anything to show for it?
303.6 lbs...well at least it isn't .4!
So this is the end of my first full week on my weight loss plan. I have since lost 1.8 lbs since the start. Ugh I miss the days where cutting back actually made a difference! I am trying not to get discouraged. I haven't been working out..but I have been working 12 hour days..I find it odd that my last meal was at 5:00pm yesterday and I don't weigh any less..I had always thought that it wasn't healthy to eat past a certain time..oh well. In the next few weeks my workout will be walking around elementary schools..so now I do not have to plan to wake up early and drag myself out of bed. I am gonna look over this past week to see how my weight loss plans have changed and what I can do to change a few more things..like adding veggies and fruit..ugh. I am going to a wedding and a BBQ this weekend...someone kill me!

2 slices whole wheat toast
2 TBSP peanut butter

Fruity snacks
Lunch
1/2 taco salad
iced tea
Snack
Fruit snacks x2

3 slices whole wheat bread

Day 6..My body cannot make up its mind!
303.0 lbs
SO I lost the .4 lbs again. My body seems to be stuck on the .4 for some reason. I guess the cheeseburger and fries didn't matter when I was running around like a crazy person yesterday...and it looks like I will be doing the same thing today as well! Lots of snacks will be available to me in my car so no worries there. I will also be working through lunch and I am not sure what to actually do about that. I need to find some food that is good for you and I can take to work. I am not a big soup drinker and making sandwiches and sticking them in the cold fridge does not appeal to me. I may just make peanut butter since I do not have to put it in the cold. Yay this blog is giving me good ideas! I believe this is also day 5 without a smoke, since I had one the day I started this blog. Right now it is 7:45am and I haven't done anything yet today, but I am about to go and run out the door..awesome..hope everyone is having a great day!
Breakfast
1/2 yogurt
Snack
Fruit snacks
Snack
Fudge cookies
Lunch
2oz chicken with BBQ sauce..ick
salad
2 TBSP ranch
1 roll
1 TSP butter
1/2 serving ice cream
1/2 serving berry cobbler
Snack
Fruity snacks
Dinner
1 soda
3 slices of pizza with meat and veggies..yes i know..very bad

Day 5..Too good to be true
303.4
So it looks like I gained a little bit back..but that is to be expected. I did a lot of moving around and cleaning on Sunday plus I had so much energy that I stayed up later than usual. Since I am writing Monday's blog at 8:00pm I guess I can talk about my day. Our council had our annual golf tournament..which meant that I got to stay at one of the holes to see if anyone got a hole in one prize for a brand new truck..of course no one did, but I did get to spend the day talking with my boss which is nice. It was really hard for us to talk when we first started working together..but it has gotten better over the past two years. I am glad that I can depend on him to be a sorta mentor for me while I get to learn the ropes of the business. The diet today practically went out the window because I did not pack a lunch or dinner. I tried to eat light, but they gave us lunch at like 3:30 and by that time I was STARVING! So I am going to be honest here and hope that honesty will win over haha.
Breakfast
Fruity Snacks
Lunch
Cheeseburger
French fries..they were really gross and I didn't eat them all
soda
gatorade
Dinner
2 small sausages
1 slice white bread
pickles
lemonade

Day 4..And I thought I did bad yesterday
302.4 lbs
I did a lot of running around yesterday morning..which probably resulted in the weight loss. I forgot that the lunch wasn't yesterday..it is next week. Maybe I should be taking something for memory now. The pill I take to curb the sugar intake may have also affected the teeth clenching..well at least in my head it does. The clenching has lessened since yesterday and if I do not have a smoke today technically all the nicotine will be out of my system. Then the only thing for me to worry about is the oral fixation part that pretty much lasts forever..great. I woke up late today, so it looks like I will be skipping breakfast. I do not want to get into that habit, but it is already 10:30 and I already feel like eating a sandwich. I need to come up with something to do today to keep me busy, I may drive around til I find a few garage sales. Hope I don't find something I actually want! True Blood tonight should keep me indoors once the night hits so have a good Sunday everyone!
Breakfast - Skipped...it is nice to sleep in every once in awhile!
Lunch
2 slices of whole wheat bread
2 hard boiled eggs
2 TBSP Mayo
Fruity Snacks
Snack
Meduim limeade from Sonic..Was dying of thirst after shopping!
Fruity Snacks..good thing I had them with me or I would have caved at Sonic
Chocolate cookies 100 calories
Snack
Frozen Fruit bar
Almonds
Dinner
Salmon burger
2 slices of bread
1TBSP mayo
1 tspn A1 Sauce
1 bag cheez-it 100 calorie
