Started out with some good oatmeal. Made Mac n Cheese for lunch, then chilli dogs for dinner. Ya I didn't care at all. I just wanted to feel good. No exercise.

Today was a bad day. I got some hard news and immediately developed a migraine. I left work and battled it all day long. I finally are a sandwich about three but quickly shared it with my bathroom throne. About six I could get up and my husband and I went for a milk shake to sooth my stomach. Then overrun by my stress from the news I ate those delicious red Zingers and ended my day with a Diet Coke and some chocolate chip cookies. It was one of those days. I'll try again tomorrow.

So I've joined a weight loss group. It's a contest to see who can lose the most in so many weeks. I don't expect to win, this just gives me purpose to try and make my jeans fit again. I had to take a picture of myself and turn in my weight. Unfortunately I do not own a scale so I only guessed that I'm at 250 lbs. *sigh
This is my plan of action:
Low carbohydrates and trying to not have any after lunch. Lots of protein and good fats. I'm also taking the Parisian approach where my breakfasts and dinners are small and snack size, but my lunches are large and filling for the rest of the day. Lots if water and fluids to flush my system.
As for exercise, right now it's what I can. No set routine just lots of movement. Today I detailed my entire apartment for an inspection. I was sweating from head to toe but everything was cleaned, from organized closets, baseboards, light fixtures, and every piece of laundry folded and put away. I'm trying to balance full time work and summer fun with my kids, so trekking another hour away from then to go to the gym seems selfish right now. Like I said, I'm only doing what I can to keep moving.
I'll keep a record of my efforts here and I hope to drop one plants size in this journey.
Wish me luck!
