Wk 1 Weigh-In Jan 9 09

So I officially started on a Monday but I wanted my weigh-in day to be on Friday, so I weighed in on January 9th. I was a little nervous because I'd found that just one soda per day was still not enough and I'd caved to 2 per day. A small on my way to work and a small to med w/ dinner.

That was kind of making me nervous, but food wise I did very well this week. My mom made us a home cooked dinner on Friday because my little sister spent the night (delicious, mom, thanks!) so I decided to do lunch out friday instead (as I normally do a friday freebie meal). Well, on Saturday we ended up going out to lunch during our shopping trip, too, but I still did very well thank you! 

I'm down 3.8 lbs this week. I have to say I'm happy with that. Of course I'd love if 30 lbs would just drop off overnight, but who wouldn't? They say that 1-2 lbs is average so I'll take the 3.8. Very excited and I think this week I'll be able to handle 1 soda per day. We'll see, I'm not making promises- almost 30 years of non-stop access to caffeine is a huge habit to break.

Lunches are kind of hard for me. I can eat Lean Cuisines w/ salads a couple days and then I'm flat out sick of it. Very bizarre because I could eat McDonald's chicken nuggets every day and not get sick of it. I think that's just crap my mind does to me, so instead of caving in, I brought peanut butter and jelly sandwiches one day last week and that worked well. I'll mix it up a bit next week, but keep a tight grip on my point intake.

Day One....So Far So Good

Well, it was good other than the fact that I could not make it through the day without a fountain soda. I seriously could not make it, it was headache city. I'd even had a cup of coffee and a Cherry Coke Zero on my lunch- no dice, I needed a regular coke. I finally succumbed and said -Okay, one a day for the first week to help the cravings. It was the craziest thing- I stopped at White Castle and got a small coke and actually shivered when I took the first drink. That's a freaking addiction people. Good gawd.

Food-wise, I did well though. I had what I wanted for dinner because I'm not eating anywhere near enough points for breakfast or lunch. I know that's not the healthiest way to do this, but that's what I want right now. But, dinner was something I made here- definitely not going for fast food.

Hopefully tomorrow will be just as good.

A New Year

I'm dieting again. Finally. I'm going to be 30 at the end of this month and I've got to get myself under control. This happens every new year. I get all motivated to get my diet on, go back to school, be more active and I fold after a few weeks (sometimes days). So I'm not making any promises here, ya know?

I wasn't going to blog about this here. I was going to start a whole new blog so people who might have this blog's address wouldn't be able to read about my dieting. But in all honesty, who really cares? If someone does happen to check this like once every six months and sees I'm dieting- who's it going to hurt? Why does it have to be some secret? So I'm not going through all the drama of creating a new blog. It's here and I don't really care what anyone thinks of that ;)

Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and do Weight Watchers again. I briefly considered South Beach Diet but changing the entire way we eat, having to get rid of all that we have in the pantry already and rebuying just isn't an option right now. I might change to it later if I find myself having sugar issues, but at my last test the Dr found my sugar levels were normal so that's awesome. She still wants me on Metformin, but I'm not starting that yet. Maybe next week.

Alrighty so wish me luck, my non-readers :)

**Oh, by the way- I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I read the first Twilight and figured I wouldn't bother with the others. It was okay, but some parts were kind of dumb and I figured it'd be a waste of my time. Well, someone convinced me to read #2 and here I am on #4 which was a gift from the hubs for Christmas. I'm 3/4 of the way through and I'm freaking out because there won't be another one for a while. I'm addicted to the story and characters now. I think I'm in love with Edward Cullen, by the way. Team Edward!

Day Eight

I'm sitting here watching the Biggest Loser and tomorrow I'm going to Weight Watchers after work. I'm not entirely sure I should do Weight Watchers again, because I really should be low carbing it, but WW is way easier to handle (thinking long term). Low carb works for me, works for the insulin resistance and pcos, but I just can't do it anymore. So here's to tomorrow :) Wish me luck......
