Weekend So Far

Friday was my day to eat a nice dinner and snack with no counting. That's exactly what I did! I had a BWW Chicken Tender Wrap with sour cream and then I had a medium chocolate chip and cherry dipping blizzard from DQ. So yummy!!!

Today, I am right back on track. Although, our groceries are running out today so I have to be careful with the things that I make. Other than that, things are going so great :)

I have been stepping on the scale all week and some days it said 190 and then today it said 191.5 so it must be from the sodium I had yesterday with my Wrap (fries were with that). I should see a drop from 192 lbs by Monday :)

Here's to another great week :)

Day 4

Total Calories today: 1493 :)

I even had 2 slices of pizza AND about 1/4 c. of ice cream for sweetness!!

Go me!

UPDATE: I did weigh myself this morning when I woke up and I weigh 190 lbs. So it's working!!

Day 3

Still going strong and still doing very good. I've had ice cream these past 2 days and have enjoyed it! The only difference is that I measured out a half cup. I'm so proud of myself too!!

Total calories: 1330

I'm really hoping to see a drop in some weight by Monday!! I didn't weigh myself for my start weight, but I probably guessed about right anyways.

I will probably have one more snack or so before bed so I'll update tomorrow if that changes.

The Daily Plate

For some reason, I woke up extremely motivated to get back on track today. It's really weird, but I like it. I really think it's because I'm off my period today and I don't feel bloated anymore. I love when that happens lol.

I'm going to continue tracking on the daily plate so if anyone wants to see what I'm eating, head here: ME. Feel free to look at my plate and see what foods I'm eating. My goal is to lose 1.5 lbs a week. I know that's completely doable because I've done it before. I don't know my starting weight, but I really think I weigh 192.0 lbs....yikes!!!!

Wish me luck :)

Start: 192.0

Feeling Slightly Motivated

So, I have been watching some more YouTube videos and I'm slightly beginning to get motivated again. I'd like to make YouTube videos, but honestly, I don't have the time to make a video each week anymore. Student teaching is such a full time position plus more!!

I'm getting to a point in my life that I really don't know how to handle. I remember writing about how my mind still thinks I'm thinner than I really am because I lost weight so quickly and gained it back so fast that my mind has not caught up with my body image. I seem to be opposite of what weight and body image is supposed to be. So, I totally can tell that I've gained weight and I hate it!!! Everytime I look in the mirror, I feel thinner than what my body is showing others so I am disgusted when I see what it looking back at me. Also, I know that I have an addiction to food. I can go on many diets and lose weight...not a problem. My problem is food! I love food too much to want to give up the tastes.

So I was at Border's today and I was looking at many diet books, as usual, and they all had like a specific plan and there was always a specific list of foods that were off limits. I can not handle having any food be off limits for me. I would end up binging on food more because of the absence. Anywho, not sure what's going on with me now because I hate how I feel sometimes, but I really don't want to put the effort into losing weight. My mind is going in so many circles and I don't know what to do.

I might go back to counting calories because that's what worked for me :)....I think once I get out of my parent's house and on my own, I'll end up starting this. Until then, not sure...:(

Stressed Out

Well, just when I thought things were going really good for me, BOOM, I get sick.

I had the flu this past week :( I went to the Emergency room on Monday night because I was really nauseated and was throwing up. I got into my mom's car with a bag to throw up in on my lap and trust me, did I use it! It was awful. The following day I had a slight fever, aches and pains, and I was having hot and cold flashes all day. This is when I knew it was the flu. From then on I took a couple more days to recover so I missed 4 days of teaching :(....I feel so awful for not being there too. It's not that I didn't want to be there.....I was sick :( I had all my plans done though so my cooperating teacher was very well prepared :) I am happy about pleasing her though.

On to my weight loss. Oh boy.....what can I say? The last time I weighed in was a couple of days ago and I think I weighed about 190. So......that's where I've been settled at for months now.

I think that the girls on YouTube who are on Weight Watchers are all very inspirational and I wish I could be like them, but where is my motivation to get going? I feel like I lack motivation to even start. My addiction to food is so bad that I feel like it's hindering my weight loss.

What am I even saying ! ugh.....I need to do it now.
