I have fallen off the horse BIG time. Eating for the month of may has not been hot at all. Today, is one year to the day of my ultimate goal- to be skinnier for graduation. I am not quite sure what I want that weight to be, but I will set it as I lose more weight. I should have graduated today had I had all the classes I needed, not transfered and not going to Europe, but then I would be a completely different person. I know I have said that I need to get back on plan a couple time this month, but I mean it now. The one year countdown until graduation has begun today! I printed out the guides to jump-start my weight loss by eating 20 points a week. I am hoping this will get me back on track. I am not made at myself, I just need to work a little harder to get back to where I was. I know I can do it =) My major probelm has been eating fattier foods and not counting points. It is all going to change today!!!!!! Wish me well. I am off to work and then the gym =)

Bye, Bye 250's. I am pretty sure I am back up to the 260's this week. I will find out tomorrow. Memphis in May was amazing and I had such a good time, but I can not eat Fried foods for 3 days straight and drink insane amounts of alcohol and not gain. It sucks, but oh well. I will be able to get the lbs off. I wouldn't have changed anything about the weekend. The pronto pups, bbq nachos, funnel cake, and all the other food I consumed was great. Good thing Memphis in may is only once a year =)

What did the scale say this morning when I got on it??????????????????????????????????? 259 Baby! I accomplished my goal. Let's just hope after a weekend of being a puddle I will be able to stay in the 250's! =) I just got back from the gym I did 65 minutes of cardio. Now it is time for a shower, grab some lunch, and then back to class again =)

I had an awesome workout at the gym today. 40 minutes of weights and 65 minutes on the elliptical.

I have been doing very well food wise also today. I made some yummy tuna noodle caserole yesterday and had some of that for lunch today. So far I have had 19 points for the day so that leaves me plenty of space to play around with for dinner.

Through this whole journey I have come to learn a lot about myself. I used to be a very emotional eater. I would eat when I was excited and I would eat when I was stressed. I just ate alllllllll the time. I look back and can't imagine how I once ate as much as I did. I have been able to control this. However, I ocassionally still want those biggie fries and chicken sandwhich from Wendy's. It is a struggle sometimes, but it will all be worth it. I have allready lost 36 lbs. Hopefully more after I weigh tomorrow.

I looked back at some of my previous posts and one of my goals was to be in the 260's for Memphis in May. I have no clue where I got the goal to be in the 250's from. I think being in the 260's is way more realistic for me. It has been a rough month and a half or so. I am excited that I started weight training, but I also haven't been eating as well as I should. My arms are starting to get toned and it is exciting!

Ok, I need to get some HW done. Ciao!
