Just because I can fit into, say a size 18 pair of jeans, doesn't mean they look good on me. I tried on a size 18 pair of jeans I got from NY and Company at the begin of the summer because they were $8 and the look awful! I have huge thight and these Jeans are just not flattering. I didn't know whether to cry because I can fit into them or to cry because they looked so awful on my body. argh!

I have had a pretty good OP day today. I made it to the gym and did weights for 20 minutes, walked for 25 minutes and ran for 15 minutes. I had a yummy lunch and I have only used 14 points so far today. I am not sure what I am going to have for dinner though, but I have plenty of points to play around with. I need to go to Krogers and get some groceries. I'll probably do that in an hour or so. I just spent a little over an hour cleaning my room and my bathroom and I am tired! I think I will take a quick nap.

Yesterday was such a BAD eating day. It started at just fine. I had my normal bowl of oatmel and snack to tide me over until I could eat a late afternoon lunch. Well, I walked through an event serving food and grbbed two mini sandwiches and chocolate chip cookie. Ok fine, not in the plan, but nothing I didn't have points for. So, I had brought all my work out clothes with me to campus so I could go to the gym when I finished my afternoon classes at 3:15. Instead my job at the dean's office needed me to come and help. So no workout and I made plans with my roomate to just eat on campus. So I didn't feel like a taco salad without the shell because I had had it on Tuesday. SO I got french fries, chicken fingers, AND a another cookie! Man oh man. And to top it off when I got back to my apartment at about 8 PM I snarffed down on some tater tots and a kudos bar.

This morning I was supposed to go to the gym. I had all my stuff ready, but when 6 AM rolled around I was just too tired. So now I am at work fighting the urge to go get a chicken taco salad (without the shell of course!). I just ate my peanut butter crunch pria bar and my fuit cup. I will be off from work in an hour and then I can go to the gym =) When I get back from the gym lunch time! I am not sure what I am going to have. Maybe I will have a frozen meal with some veggies.... hmm something to think about.

239 Baby!!!!!!!! Goodbye 240's!!!!!!!

I have discovered that one of the best ways for me to stay on plan is to journal. Go figure! SO, today I will start journaling again. August 26th was the last time I journaled. That is almost 3 weeks without journaling! I am expecting good things from this tried and true experiment. So, I am still at 241. I have about a month to lose 9 lbs. My trainer would like to see me at 232. I know he won't be upset or anything if I am not there, but I think it would be quite nice to be there =)

Also, I will hopefully be posting pictures of myself at various points along the way sometime soon. Now keep in mind these aren't "progress pics" but casual pics taken amongest friends =)

Homework is calling...
