Wine

I had a bit of wine last night, it was a good time. I’m kind of put off by all the calorie added to alcohol, but I did my research beforehand and I learned that the lighter colored wine have less calories and drinking wine is better than beer or a really hard liquor. I had some healthy SmartPop as well and I realize now that the extra calories were worth it and it could have been a lot worse. Moderation, not deprivation is the key, Hehe.

Trucking Along in Workout Mode

I am finally getting into the groove of diet life. I’m now used to spending a little time everyday at the gym and it has become a priority. The only real issue is when I get out of my comfort zone. Still writing in my diet journal everyday. I have limited measuring myself to just once a week, I’m not looking to get obsessed with my weight loss. I think the biggest indicator of my success will be when my clothes fit better. That will be a very good day. I’m officially out of groceries and that’s good because it’ll force me to go and only get foods I will feel good about writing about and my journal. Leaving town today to visit family, but I’m taking some healhy snacks along with a big bottle of water. Wish me Luck.

Boys

I was thinking about it last night and I decided that It’s going to be harder for me to lose weight because of the people around me. I live with 2 boys. One of them is a Marine and doesn’t need to lose weight and the other one is in a committed relationship and broke and doesn’t feel want to try to eat well or lose weight. It’s sad, but it only reminds me how much I’ll be using the support of the people on this site. well, it’s  a new day and I’m going to make a nice healthy egg white breakfast and hit up the gym. I’ll write soon after I weigh in.

Me

My  name is Christie and I’m 20 years old. I am a broke college student who is crazy busy during the school year. Because I have been so busy I have gained weight that I lost about 2 years ago. I’m ashamed that i let myself get so bad and I’m trying to lose some weight before school starts again in August. Recently I’ve been having a lot of anxiety everyday when it comes time for me to get dressed. A lot of the clothes that used to fit me don’t anymore and I do not want to go shopping to buy bigger clothes! I’m just tired of being overweight and it really makes me feel bad about myself for the way I look and the size of my behind. So far I’m doing well with a lot of research, healthy eating, and exercising at the gym. The one thing I want right now is for my clothes to start fitting better and the fat to leave my face . . . and everywhere else for that matter. I’ll probably see how the next couple days go and check back. It will make me work that much harder knowing I need to put in a weight on my homepage soon and I need to write about my actions here in my blog. well, wish me luck and any support you can give me would be helpful. . . especially when it comes to making healthy choices for myself. Thanks for listening.

I’ll write again soon,

Christie
