Ramblings

It's been a long time since I last wrote an update. Ever since, pretty much, the end of the June Challenge way back when, I noticed that I slacked off and completely gave up. I have not been aware of the things I eat because I've been eating everything I want. It's funny to say that it should be satisfying because it's what I wanted, but it's the complete opposite. I feel stuffed, gross, bloated, huge, and not happy with myself. I think it has to do with what I wear. Most of my stuff doesn't fit me anymore. I have 2 pairs of jeans that are way too big on me that I wear and I feel gross in them. I have to wear them though because I don't have the funds right now to buy jeans that fit me. I have 1 pair that fits perfectly and I feel awesome in them :) I only have about 4 pairs of jeans. Yep, that's about right.

So, weight loss news....I'm sitting at 185 right now. So, that means that I've kept off 5 lbs since January lol. It's a loss yes, but I should have done way better haha! Oh well. I have some pretty high hopes and goals for the upcoming Fall and Winter for me :)

Randy's sister, Wendy, started a new diet that her dietitian gave her and her first week ended on Thursday. She had lost 5 lbs!! Her diet is about 1800 calories which is fine for her, but I had to find something around 1200-1400 for mine online. Same basic concept, but a little lower in calories. The diet that she was put on is the Diabetic Diet because she has PCOS. I'm so proud of her and I'm happy for her for losing weight and I know this diet will work for her. I am not diabetic nor do I have any medical conditions, but this diet says that even if you need to lose weight, it'll work. It basically is a list of foods under milk, fats, bread/starches, and so on that you can fit into your meal plans. You get so many of it a day and you limit sweets and stuff. You can basically eat anything you want, just plan for it and be prepared. I still wanted to do some research to try to find something that was layed out a bit more better than her diet.

This is what I found that should be fool proof :)

I am really looking forward to trying it, but I just don't know when to start yet. I want the weight to come off and with this diet I know it will. Should I wait until school starts in 2 weeks from tomorrow or just start tomorrow? I'm not sure. I'll just say this, whenever I start, I'm going to stick with it. If I go off plan for a meal or day or whatever, I'll get right back on it. No more excuses this time, but what's funny is, this is all easier said than done! lol

I'm excited about change and I hope it works :)
