I think I can, I think I can

So I am focusing on one aspect of my weightloss at a time right now. Right now, I am just trying to get my eating in check. I will be super busy over the next 4 weeks, but if I can eat well, I know I will be ok.

Also, I actually thought long and hard about what I would give up for Lent this year. This year I decided to give up work lunches. This would be classified as any lunch I do not make myself during Monday-Friday when I am at work. I rarely buy lunch on the weekends, but it is a constant struggle during the work week and my co-workers are not the best influences. They don't think I can do it. I think I can.

Today I had whole wheat cuscus with toasted pine nuts, celery, green onion, and mushroom cooked in chicken broth. I also had a cucumber, tomato, granny smith apple, and walnut salad with some Emirl Honey Mustard. My co-workers went out to a friend chicken place.

One day down.

I am not giving up

Man it seems like I have been fighting a losing battle since September to lose any weight. I so focused on getting back to 187. Why 187? It was my lowest recorded weight. Right now I am under 200, somewhere I never thought I would be. It is a little frustrating, but I am still pushing forward. No gym for me this morning, but I will be going tomorrow and Sunday.

At lunch I was successful and ordered what I had planned on and it was great. However, on my way home I wanted to go to the Cheesecake Factory or anywhere besides home for dinner SO bad. I think it was because I was tired and I just didn't want to make anything. I ended up with a spinach salad with blue cheese, crasains, avocado, tomato, grapes, and walnuts. Yes I know that not everything on that salad is considered "healthy", but in small portions I can deal.

Oh and my roommate asked where all the brownies went. I told her I ate them all. That was hard to admit to. I could have totally lied and said I took them to work. She just laughed and reminded me of the time she ate a whole carrot cake not too long ago. Please note the brownies were made in a 8 inch pan, but had the pan been bigger I probably would have eaten those too.

I really need to figure some things out...

Let's Try This Again

2 day of all out eating nothing but junk. Yep, that would be my Tuesday and Wednesday. I ate cookies, brownies, chips, candy, burger and fries. Oh and ice cream. I think that pretty much covers the major foods I consumed. Oh and I had some of my favorite easter candy ever. They are these Russel Stovers Coconut nests. mmmmm.

Ok, well enough of that. I went to the gym Monday and Today. Didn't make it Tuesday and Wednesday. Have no fear. I didn't consume all junk. I did eat some fruit, oatmeal, and skim milk.

I am back at it again today (in a good way). I made it to the gym and I already know what I will be having for lunch today with my friends. Oh yes and dodgeball tonight!

Yum!

It is my opinion that there is no better breakfast then one that involves chocolate. Remember that brownie type dessert I made? Well I had a piece, er two, for breakfast this morning with a nice big glass of skim milk.

Oh and I came to the realization today that, while I technically may not be losing weight on the scale I have been doing a few things to make myself feel better. One of which is actualy putting effort into what I wear each day to work. I am actually putting outfits together and wearing jewelry. I still need to work on the makeup thing though
