Day 1: May 24, 2012

Today is the day I honestly and truthfully stick to a diet. I went to the doctor today and weighed an astonishing 179 pounds. It hit me a little hard; so I decided to talk to my doctor about losing weight. I know I need to work out more and start slowly cutting out junk food. It is really hard sometimes because I want those bad foods; like pizza, taco bell, etc.  

The start to my day wasn’t great but it wasn’t awful; keep in mind I didn’t decide this new attitude until a few hours ago. I had a ½ tall non-fat white chocolate mocha with no whipped cream and ½ of a slice of pumpkin bread. Then I ate the rest of my pumpkin bread; when I got home I had 1 cup of rice, 2 non-fat hotdogs, spray butter, and shredded cheese. That is when I really had the change…I really wanted to purge but fate stepped in and Nathan (Cory and I’s roommate) came home. For dinner I had an apple, whole wheat tortilla, and a smart one’s Santa Fe beans and rice. Then I did some mild workout of jumping jack, lunges, and jump rope. I am really hoping keeping this journal will help me release my feelings, missteps, and triumphs.

I have wanted to train a 5K for a while and now I want to start doing it (I started to type ‘try’ but I erased it to try and keep positive).  This is what my first week is supposed to look like:

It seems simple enough I just need to keep motivated and I think my best bet is going to be not to tell anyone.

I am glad Cory (my boyfriend) is starting to work out too. We started playing disc golf and it is a lot of fun. We walk about 2 miles or so during the whole process and at times climb hills too. I am going to try to make wiser choices when we do go out to eat. Sweets are going to be my biggest down fall and as much as it pains me, I will do my very best to stray from them if possible.

This is going to wrap up my blogging for today; I am having my pre-op appointment at 8 am tomorrow morning for my eye surgery.  I also may have gotten new job as a head cashier at Lowes. Hopefully good news is soon to follow in the next blogs.

Good night world,
