Begone Fat Girl!!

well....here i go again. this time i have a plan. a pretty good plan i think. a doable plan.

no more drive thru's, or fast food. im done with that.

so for breakfast im shooting for a high fiber breakfast. banana's, oatmeal...stuff like that. which i can get at work and its a whole lot cheaper than mcd's.

lunch will be my main meal. i can pretty much get anything from subs, salads, even like a hearty meal with meat and veggies/potatoes. i can get mexican or a burger if i wanted. i can get anything.

and for dinner i will have a big ass salad.

and after dinner i walk a mile with leslie's walk away the pounds tape.

and ill do that until i can do more and then take it from there. im still going to weight watchers on saturday's to weigh in so ill be able to track my progress.

this needs to work. i am at my highest weight i have ever been in life and i really am not comfortable at all. i dont like the way this feels and i really don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. i want love...to be loved. and its clearly obvious that its not going to happen at this weight or at this size. and frankly who can blame anyone. i wouldn't want me......this is not cute. not at all.

so here i go again. i promise to update regularly with my progress.....im not going to promis daily but i can give you at least once a week. if i have the time at work ill try to do the food journal....

i have a goal. im sticking to it. the game is on!

wish me luck

It's All In Then Bag!

ok todays intake....

7am (the car) (mcdonalds)2 sausage egg & cheese burrittos, hasbrown, diet coke.

noon: (my desk) 2 lean pockets. i dont know if i mentioned it before but the hot pockets that we have for lunch are actually lean pockets. turkey, ham and cheese.

carrot and celery sticks...about 4/5 of each dipped in ranch dressing.

6pm: (home) bowl of oatmeal with sugar added.

and thats all she wrote!

im feeling good about this week. i believe that i have made some major improvements. i might not have had the greatest of foods but with my budget the way it is....i did the best that i could. and i could have done worse. so im pleased with my food choices this week and i hope that on saturday it shows.

i want my sticker damit!!

Were On a Roll!!

ok im not really understanding how i feel today. after work last night i really didn't have dinner. i had 2 tomatoes and a cucumber. plain. nothing added to it...just 2 tomatoes ( i ate like an apple) and a cucumber. while i was out letting the dogs out my neighbor handed them too me and i thought...great...dinner! so this morning i wake up feeling like i ate a cow. maybe its weather related i don't know. my legs feel so heavy today. i don't get it.

and so it begins:

7am (in the car) egg mcmuffin, hashbrown & diet coke.

i wasn't really hungry. i could have waited till i got to work.....but ok....its not that bad. lunch is going to be lite today anyway. hot pockets. woo hoo...ugh

i hate being broke.

9am (desk) coffee, water, sliceofpoundcake

ugh....10:43 and this day is dragging. im in a lot of pain today and i don't understand why. unless its going to rain and i just don't know it...i really dont' think so its bright and sunny and i haven't heard anything about rain. but man my legs are just soooo aching today. im pretty sure a lot has to do with the fact that i sit most of my day away. i really dont' like that....go figure. but thats the kind of job i have. then i go home and im on the computer and by the time im done with that i just want to lay down and go to sleep. my activity level is sooo bad. i really need to get out and do something active.

i have my hobbies but they require me to sit as well.....walking only gets me so far. i need to do something a little more funner (?) i want to get an mp3 player or an ipod or something of that nature. i think that that will help me alot to walk more. among other things. im also thinking of buying a treadmill or a bike so when i am home watching tv...i can be productive.

i think when sarah moves out im going to change her room into a workout room. set up the tv get a few machines. maybe i can get lucky and find something at a yard sale cheap. or catch a really good sale. im going to look into it. its kinda hard cuz so many of those machines have weight restrictions and i hate that. im not buying into it either.......i need to get my legs strong again or ill be cripple before im 50. (jesus i can't believe i just said that)

Noon (at my desk) today we had hot pockets. i had a chessburger one and 1/2 t/h/c and 1/2 beef and cheddar.

sarah and i wanted to try the beef one so we split them. the cheeseburger one rocks. that was good. we got cheap lunch today cuz were broke at the moment. sarahs paycheck hasn't come through yet and with me being on vacation....my check was really short. i paid bills and that was about it. so for $1.00 i can get 2 hot pockets and be full. full on a buck....can't beat that. i don't think anybody knows about this little find that i stumbled across as the label in the machine says $1.50 but when you put in the right amount i was always getting a dollar back. so i checked the price and sure enough....50 cents. sweet deal for hot pockets. so in a pinch when money is tight....at least i know all i need a dollar and ill be good to go.

1:43pm (at my desk) drinking tea with a 2 point ww snack. cinnamon sugar swirl bar. taste like a cinamon bun. pretty good.

im not really hungry but im soooo freaking bored right now. this day is dragging some megga ass and as much as im trying to get through the day without going bananas......i wanted to munch on something. now i have money and i could have went to the vending machine....but i didn't.

3 more hours of this torture.

im pretty sure i won't be eating dinner. most likely have tomatoes and cucumbers again like last night as we have plenty.

i love me some garden veggies

these people on eb@y think they are so clever.....charging 9.99 for a mp3 player and $40 to ship it. please.....give me a break.

kinda bummed i can't play bingo tonight....

2:42: 2 point snack WW Whole Grain cheddar twist. i got these in SC. they are not available here anymore...i wish they were i love these better than the other ones they have that are not whole grain.

omg im falling asleep at my desk. ive been working on this project all day long. im so tired of looking at it. what im doing is removing people off our system. they're are hundreds of them......so its like....click drop down click scroll click click remove, save......and repeat.

ALL.DAY.LONG!!!

ive been getting up to take little walks around cuz my legs are getting so stiff. i feel like they are going to break at the knees. especially my right leg. something is just not right. i would go to a doctor but hes just gonna say lose weight. i really need to get blood work done, examined...the whole 9. i really need to get to the dentist....there is a reason you never see a big smile......i just need help.

okay so im home now. dinner looks like tomatoes again which is really fine. im not really hungry and i think that if i get in the habit of not eating so much at night and just have something small.....i will start to feel better.

enjoy the night....

Lets Get Blogging Started, Shall We!!

well after a few rough days we started out pretty today. civil at least. I think i put to much pressure on her. maybe im expecting to much. you know that saying misery loves company....well im miserable and bringing her down with me. i dont' like to make her cry. but i do. im not a nice person. I try really hard but deep down...i just don't have it in me. especially since im not happy myself. i need help. seriously.

ok today so far.....

730am (in the car): 2 hashbrowns (6), bottle of water (0) = 6 points

800am (at my desk): coffee w/creamer (2), cinnamon raisin bagel (4) w/half veggie cc (2) and half strawberry cc (2) = 10 points

I wasn't really hungry when i got to work...i know i wanted coffee and i know i wanted something. while im here let me get caught up for the week so i can really start doing this right....

Monday

nothing on the way to work Breakfast - (at my desk) 2 packages of 2 point WW cheddar twist snacks (4), water, tea, water,tea = 4 points

Lunch - (at my desk) half of sausage/egg/cheese bisquit (?), 1 turkey and ham & cheese hot pocket (?), water = ? points (ill have to figure that one out)

Dinner - (at home) 2 whoppers with bacon and cheese (?)

Midnight - (at home) 1 Taco Bell Crunchy Nacho grilled stuffed burrito (?)

Ill have to figure the points out when i get home. not really the best choices i know this...but when funds are limited, this was about all i could do. but thats monday.

back to tuesday.....

i dont why it is that my brain function is always wondering what im going to eat next....always wondering what i can get now. money is a bad influence. as soon as i get it, im thinking...ok....where can i go to eat....or who can i call to go out and get something to eat.....and i have no problems paying since im the one who really wants to go. is it because i don't like to cook where i live? is it just easier? i know im an addict but there has to be something more to it. why does money equal food?? i can do so many other things!! buy new clothes, buy anything!! god forbid...SAVE IT??? Bills, food, gas & Bingo.....its all i spend my money on. thats it! and im talking about eating out kinda food. i don't go grocery shopping. if i had my own kitchen...i would...but i don't and it discourages me from going. which is why i don't cook, which is why we eat out all the time....or we microwave.

i have an excuse for everything don't I.

11am (at my desk while typing this) a strawberry danish (?)

water water everywhere......

Noon (cafateria) thai salad with noodles, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, advocado, cabbage and a peanut sauce dressing. i ate about 3 1/4 of it... (?)

im pretty full right now. i won't be eating again till later tonight...if i decide to stop anywhere. im thinking i won't...but we'll see. our neighbor has given us lots of tomatoes and the roomies won't eat them...so im sure ill grab a few and munch on them. love tomatoes. that just might be dinner actually.

7pm (at home on the computer) 2 tomatoes our neighbor gave us. plain.....ate like an apple...lol

well thats. i dont' think ill be going anywhere to get anything. as a matter of fact i know im not going anywhere.....so that was my day.

have a good one!

Wednesday

So far today:

9am (in the car): typical McDonalds breakfast

12:30 pm (at my desk): Spinach & Tangerine salad w/chick peas and tomato salsa, pita pieces and Caesar dressing




so far 1 liter of water and 2 (Venti) cups of tea

going to bingo tonight so I'm sure ill have something there. pizza most likely unless I stop and get something somewhere else. ill let you know.

I'm really so not hungry today. I didn't really need to eat and I'm guessing its from the overindulging I did yesterday which I'm still kinda feeling. the fullness that is. so eating today was not really necessary.

I'm so not hungry. especially after the tea and water I've been drinking. it only makes me feel worse.

do I think that having a salad justifies it??

I kept thinking ok the cafe closes in a half hour.....I can still get my salad mind you at starbucks. they close at 4.

plenty of time. my mindset is so fucked up.

I eat cuz I have money, its there for me, so why the hell not. I wish I didn't love food so much. I was thinking yesterday that I need to change my mindset from spending my money on food to something else. like take up shopping or pay my bills on time.....or anything other than what am I going to eat today.

my mom is going to freak out when she see's me. if it were only possible to loose like 50 lbs in 2 weeks.

I'm sooo fucked.
