Ha!

I never stayed under 1500 calories last week like I said I was going to. I never counted any of my calories last week. I did have an "ah ha" moment though. I posted a video in my youtube vlog about it. I have no summer shorts/capris that fit me this year. They did last year, but not this year. All of this summer weather >70 degrees is making me want to get skinny.

I really want to be down at least 20 lbs by July 1st. 2 lbs a week is gonna be hard to keep up with. I'm sitting at 191 lbs right now so my goal will be 171 lbs by July 1st. It's gonna be hard, but I think I can do it. I'm going to vlog daily because I need some motivation to continue to do this. I want to actually SEE the progress I'm making instead of just talking about what I want to do.

Here's to this week.

Hello

I can't believe it's already April 19. In two more days, it'll be our 4 year anniversary :) How exciting is that?!?!?! :)

Ok.....I have been super depressed lately. Lots of emotional things have been going on in my life and I don't see it getting any better until after graduation. I graduate on June 13th and I hope that's a happy day with my family and I.

My friend Randy (a friend of my fiance's and I's) is also trying to lose 50 lbs. His method is to just eat healthier options and exercise. Seems simple right? He's doing a fantastic job right now and I know he's losing weight.

Me, on the other hand, probably still weigh 190 ish and my emotions are still getting the best of me. Every time I get really depressed, I turn to food :( Like today.....:( awful day ....

I'm using a formula that I mentioned in one of my previous blogs to lose weight (calorie counting) and it says I need to stay under 1500 cals to lose 1 lb a week.

I'm gonna do that this week. :)
