Hello to everyone who actually reads this lol...my birthday weekend went absolutely fabulous and my mom's bday was today so that was another cake filled day. I'm so over cake now!! lol
I need to get my butt into gear. I know I've done some major damage this past week/2 weeks so I need to start losing the weight. I've put a lot of thought into what I'm going to do and I can't believe that I've wasted months on trying to figure out what's best for me. I just need to DO IT!!
With the way that my life is going, I've decided to continue with counting calories to lose weight. No, I don't know how to fit every "good for you" food into every meal, but I do know how to stay within my calorie range. I need to start preparing food for school when I have a night class and I just need to eat small things between meals to satisfy myself.
I really can't believe I've wasted all that freakin time!!
Ok, I remember what I said in one of my first videos when I started YouTube. I wanted to lose all my weight by January of 2009. I started January 1st, 2008.....and what is today?? August 26th, 2008. Time has gone by so fast and what have I got to show for it? NOTHING...well maybe I've kept off 5 lbs so I guess that's an accomplishment :)
But seriously.....I have nothing to show for it so tomorrow is the day where I start over. Completely fresh. Yes, there will be obstacles. Yes, there will be times where I fail. But, I have to keep going or I will never see results.
I'm too used to wanting to lose weight fast from my last diet I was on. It seriously screwed up my mind into thinking that whenever I "diet" I have to lose fast or it's not working. I need to stop thinking this way and just live life. I can't keep worrying about food constantly 24/7. I feel as if it's always on my mind and once I'm done eating one thing, the next order of business is on my mind. It's horrible. Some days are okay if I'm busy. I usually don't think about food when I'm busy because my mind is in tune with what I'm doing. I know once school starts, it'll be like that, but for now, I have to start making the good habit of cutting my calories and try to be healthier.
Since I'll be starting tomorrow, I'm back to my weigh in Wednesdays like I did back when I started in January :) Weigh in Wednesdays work and I'll start tomorrow with a video before work (hopefully) and a weigh in showing my horrible damage :(. Oh well, I have to face it sooner or later. I just know I'll be lighter next week :)
Another thing, I can't keep switching back and forth if I want to do WW or CC because my body has been through enough ya know? I need to pick one and stick with it :) I've realized that I can not do WW because first of all, I think I'll only see results if I go to the meetings and actually get help from them and two, even e-tools is too damn expensive for me to try and get all the resources so I'm not doing WW. If I ever say mention doing it again please slap me!!! lol
CC will work and with the support of my YouTube friends I know I can do this.
Here's to losing weight in 2008!!!! :)

OK-I watched your vid and read your blog...I am slightly inspired. Not slightly becuz you didn't completely inspire me, you did, but I am enjoying going to my dads cafe each morning and haveing really greasy fried foods and I am not sure I am ready to give it up yet ;)! But I will eventually get back on board. I have to make a video and I am sort of dreading it. O well I will try tonight when I am in class, hope to talk to you later--Christi
You seem really motivated right now, which is awesome! Good idea about going back and looking at past videos and such when you were doing well and successful. Keep it up:)
yay, time to get back on it! i know it's hard when you're so busy with work and school, but i don't think it'll take long for you to find a balance, and now that you realize you don't have to lose it so fast, you'll do great!
