Today was tough. I officially "started" today. I realize that I said I was starting last week, but I simply wasn't ready. Say what you want, but I didn't have any "good" groceries in the house, and I was facing two 12 hour work days. It wasn't going to happen. So, I decided to start today, it being the first day of classes.
It was tough. I woke up early and had 3 cups, yes 3 CUPS of coffee. OOF.
Here's my log:
Breakfast:
Apple Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal w/ 1/4 cup of skim milk: 150 cal.
3 cups coffee w/ cream: 75 cal.
Snacks:
2 medium bananas: 200 cal.
orange: 65 cal.
Chiobani Greek Yogurt: 140 cal.
Lunch:
salad w/ ff Italian dressing: 40 cal.
tuna fish pita: 175 cal.
Dinner:
BBQ chicken sandwich (sandwich thin, bbq sauce, chx breast) 305 cals
Salad w/ ff Italian dressing: 40 cal.
TOTAL: 1,190 calories
Overall, I'm very pleased. I was starving most of the day, which is why I had 4 snacks. Woof.

Friday, January 6, 2012
the first day of the rest of my life.
I started my weight loss journey on March 31, 2011. I was at 265 pounds. This was my heaviest. By July of 2011 I was down to 230. I lost control when school started and gained back 25 pounds. I am at 255 once again. I didn't believe it when I finally stepped back onto the scale. My pants still fit. (kinda?) Oh well. This time, I know there will be challenges and that it gets hard. I am motivated to loose this weight FOREVER. Here goes!
Goals:
Blog daily? (I would like to blog challenges, surprises, what I eat, accomplishments, and so on)
Under 200 by August 8, 2012 (My 22 birthday).
Begin "Weekly Challenges" and STICK WITH THEM!
I plan to lose my weight through calorie counting/ intuitive eating and working out. My daily calorie goal is 1200 calories. I want to work out 4 times a week for at least 45 minutes.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE:
Drink more water! Drinking water will help me loose weight and it is best to start this habit early. I set a timer to remind me each hour. I would love to drink 64-96 ounces per day, and more if I am working out.
Stay tuned!
Love,
kimberly
