Day 6

So I'm realizing that the whole "snack" after dinner thing is becoming a pain. Unless I get something I like that tastes good I really never want to do it. Tonight I had the raspberry drink thing and other than the gritty stuff at the end it was probably the least crap tasting drink I've had. I don't know... is it working? Yes, I think when I'm able to switch the foods it won't be such a problem. I know I'm complaining a lot right now. A couple people have already been like, "Just spend the money with normal food that's healthy". Ummm.. yeah, I've tried that. Don't have the self control yet to stop eating "healthy food" which when eaten in bulk are NOT healthy. Plus this way, I have to see someone every week who takes my measurements and can give me some help. Actually, I should probably just text her. I don't think I can wait 2 more days. But yeah, I don't think I'm going to weigh myself til she weighs me. I've lost 6 pounds as far as this morning's weigh in was concerned and that is a lot. I know it won't be that much all the time. And I decided once I hit a certain number (not to be disclosed in public) I'm gonna start easing my way into working out. I know it won't take long because I have work to do. I gotta get into fighting shape!

Day 4 morning

So... this has definitely been an interesting ride. This food for the most part tastes really crappy. But thank God i've figured out ways to make them taste better. I wish I didn't have all these flavors I know I'm not going to like but hey, at least I can say I tried it. So far, I can deal with the chili, the soy puffs, the chocolate drink, the pina colada, the soups in general, and the bars. the puddings are gross. and pretty much anything sweet. Thank you super sensative fake sugar hating taste buds. But I weighed myself this morning and I'd like to report I've already lost 5 pounds :) It feels like time is flying and with every day that goes by I don't have to think so much about what I'm going to eat. I do need to focus on veggies more though. Usually my heaviest meal is lunch and then I'll have a smoothie or something for dinner but I DO need more veggies. I've been good about taking all my vitamins and supplements. I try and remember to take them in my purse if I know I'm not going to be home for a long time. Anywho, it's working and everyday that goes by is one day closer :) Love you all and have a great day!

Day 1 morning

Soo.... Im still trying to drink this berry yogurt drink.. it has really bad flavor, but since I'm drinking it slowly and it's thick, it is making me full. Sigh... i need to figure out some cool ways to make this food taste good because if anyone knows me, they know that the fake sugar taste is like my biggest gross factor other than like tripas or something haha. Maybe lunch will be better lol

Ideal Protein Starts tomorrow~~

Usually, I wouldn't be writing about this in public but I think I need to just to keep me going, even if no one reads it lol :) I've had a lot of back pain and joint pain in general and it only gets worse the more weight I gain. It's time for me to take my self-control back. Plus, wanting to do things with the entertainment/anything public world, I will already be criticized for what I have to say or bring, I don't need to give them any more ammo. Also, my body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit and I want to be healthy to do what He needs me to. I don't want to get tired or sick due to something I had control over. So... tomorrow I'm starting a program called Ideal Protein. It's going to be interesting but I'm glad I'm starting it before all the holidays come up :) So from Aug 25- whenever I reach the goal. I'll be writing about how it's going. I can't  guarantee I'll be on here everyday but We shall see how it goes. I was thinking of doing a video blog but...eh, I like writing better :)

Peace, Love, Hope
