I really want Chinese Food

Seriously. I do. I have the money and for the most part, I've been good all week! Seriously, I have.

Haven't started the workouts. Sadly, I've been to lazy. That'll stop soon. But I've been good with portion control and not eating fast food. Except for the Pizza Hut. But that wasn't my fault. We had that for dinner as a family. And I kept the slices to a minimum.

Can't wait to start trying these new recipes! I'm like a lot of people. I like my meat, starch, and veggie. I like that combination. So when I see recipes that serve entire third world countries the most delicious mashed potatoes I've ever heard of, I get upset.

So I think I'm going to invest in the single dish. It doesn't necessarily have to be the three combo I'm so used to. If I want a bowl of mashed potatoes, I'm going to eat it. But just that bowl. Nothing but a side salad with it. I'll get used to it. I know I will, because I've got some awesome single dish-large serving recipes that I want to try. Well thats all for now.

See you in the salt mines....why do I keep saying that?!?

Sweet Relish

Well today marks the third day of my "new" life. Not much has changed. :( This motivation thing is hard. I'm not going to the gym.

Tonight, I'm gonna start a little closer to home. The dreaded "Treadmill" Ugh. Serious, yo. Gotta work now, I'll post my after thoughts after tonight's first workout. SOOO EXCITED!!!

See you in the salt mines...

Countdown: 2 days to go

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not happy. I've been steadily gaining 10-15 pounds a year since I was 13. I want to be healthier and I want to be comfortable in my own skin.

That is why I have set the goal to exercise everyday (except Mondays) for 365 days. My goal is to reach 150 lbs. I'll be going to the gym on the 1st of the month to get my current weight. I've been to the doctor a few times in the last couple of months because I got really sick, so I have a feeling. Hopefully it hasn't changed drastically since then.

I'll be using this blog to document how I'm feeling and have something to feel accountable for. I'll post once a week, most likely Friday or Saturday.

I have a membership at the local Snap Fitness which is a 24 hour fitness gym that I'll be using. I've actually had it for a couple years and was about to cancel it until a couple weeks ago when I decided that I need to actually use it.

It's kind of late now, so I'm gonna sign off. Goodnight universe.
