Monday morning I weighed in at 165.2. Which is a loss of 1.2 from last week. Soooo happy!
Today I actually worked out! I jogged and walked on the treadmill for thirty minutes. Im sure to the average person what I did would have been no big deal, but I havent done anything in SO long. I was sweating like crazy. Its totally true that working out and being active makes you happy. I still have those endorphins going on!
More later!

Starting Weight Watchers Again..
Ive decided to start counting points again. Calorie counting was sort of working, but I like WW better. Anyway, today I went with my future roommate to go pay our down payment on our new apartment. I got up late and had no breakfast, so I indulged in a Large Coke at McDonalds for 6 points. Holy god!! lol. Anyway, went to her house and had some soup she has called "Monster Soup" which is basically a vegtable soup. I guesstimated 3 points for it and has a 100 calorie Bagel for 1 point.
We went and attended to our business in the boro (Where I go to school. Its an hour away from where I live.) Eventually we went to Panera and I got the pick two and got half greek salad for 5.5 points, a french baguette for 3 points and their summer corn chowder for 5 points. So that total meal was 13.5 points. But, I am still really full and I think it keep me satisfied for a while. Plus, my daily points target is 26 points, so I have a little left for a snack of friuts and veg later.
Also started a weekly meeting type deal with some of my close friends where we talk about weight loss and our plans. Should be pretty cool =)

New Book
Has anyone else read Eat this and Live! by Don Colbert? I got it the other night and read it in about an hour. I love it!! Its so colorful and honest. Its definitely inspired me. I actually preferred it over skinny bitch.
A couple weeks ago I also got this AMAZING food and fitness journal off of target.com. It is called the "diet and fitness journal"(go figure lol) by Claudine Gandolfi. Its really neat.
Anyway, I suppose for once I will blog my foods.
Today I forgot to go to the atm and decided I didnt want to charge 3 dollars to my account. So I had no lunch or breakfast =/
Around 12 I had some popcorn (work, ugh) for about 200 calories and had a regular coke for 200 cals ( I drank some throughout the day, Im over estimating, but oh well)
I went out with my family to a local coffee shop that was doing an Italian Night. We made reservations and it was a kind of suprise meal. We didnt really know what we were getting.
It ended up being a 4 course meal. It was a nice treat and Im glad I had it, even though it left me at around 1000 calories.
First we had Minestrone Soup (about 150) and bread (250). I suck at the "say no to the bread bowl" thing, lol. Then they brought out some salad with an italian dressing ( 50 cals).
After a while our main course came out and it ended up being a portion of lasagna and chicken florentine. It was just two small-ish servings of each and I left a bit of my lasagna but ate most of the chicken. I looked them up on thedailyplate.com and got an estimation of around 430 calories in all for both.
They then brought out cheesecake (aka the devil, lol). I ate about half. Im guessing around 300 calories?
There was a lot of guess work, but thats alright I suppose. I can allow one huge meal a week.
I plan to get on here more and become more dedicated. I think Im going to do my official weigh ins on mondays now. Not sure though.

Busy Busy
Since summer has started Ive been working a ton. I havent made time to update this. =/
Anyway, Ive been logging my food and adding up my cals. Ive been doing okay, but I am not expecting any major loss. I want to start going to the park and walking and riding my bike more. I really like it and it burns some calories. Anyway, Ill try to update this more. Id like to add pictures and stuff like mostly everyone else does, but I never seem to have my camera with me. We'll see, perhaps I will put my meals up that way.
I dunno.
