Day 4

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm not going to eat at Five Guys anymore.   Food tastes awesome but my cheeseburger and fries was 1255 calories!!!!!!!!!!  I'm trying to limit myself to 1200 or less a day (that's what I was on when I went to the weight loss clinic) and supper blew that out of the water!!!!!!!!!

Okay, it's only day 4, so hopefully that won't be a setback.  Yesterdays calories are breakfast - 100 calories, lunch - 290 calories, supper - 1255 calories and snacks - 163 calories.   Grand total - 1808.

I thought I was doing good until I looked up the calories for Five Guys.  I did not drink any soda yesterday, only water.  Yay!!

Day 3

Yesterday:  Breakfast 100 calories, Lunch 395 calories, Supper 687 calories, Snack 170 calories, and I drank a 20 oz Pepsi all day with 250 calories.   Grand total: 1602.  Ugh!!!!   402 calories too many!!!!!   390 calories were from sodas with caffiene which seem to help my "snow headaches".  Any other time I only drink water.  Okay, so I need to cut back on my food calories if I have to drink a soda and winter needs to go away so I don't have to drinks sodas.  Simple, right? 

Today, will try to do better.  Need lots of prayers, please.

Day 2

Okay, here we go.  Weighed myself - 167 pounds.  This time last year I weighed 184.  I lost 25 pounds between January and May and then stopped. :(  I was going to a weight loss clinic until August, when I quit because they wasn't helping me anymore.  $100 and no results can get expensive.  If I have it figured right, I need to lose 5 1/2 pounds a month.  That sounds doable.  Now to find time to workout and start watching my calories more closely.

Day 1 of blog

Today I started my blog. My goal is to lose weight to the point that I weigh 120 pounds.  Tomorrow, I will go to the scale in the workout facility and post my current weight.  My husband, Travis, has promised if I make my goal, he will buy me a complete new wardrobe.  I welcome any comments, good or bad, because I'm hoping my friends will give me the encouragement I need and also keep me accountable.  I also hope to post photos as I lose both weight and sizes.
