Yesterday morning I posted on Facebook my weight loss plans and journey. I was pleasantly surprised by how many people I don't regularly talk to that were supporting me and giving me encouragement! Very surprising if you ask me! Also yesterday my eating habits were completely different. I started school on Monday so finding the time to cook and eat fresh foods is going to be very, very difficult, and now I'm into the upper level classes, which adds more study time, but yesterday I had a yogurt, two fiber bars, a turkey and cheese bagel (I brought from home), some cheese and crackers (not many cause I knew they were bad for me) during my lunch time break, and two servings of fruit when I got home. I then had two servings of vegetables during dinner and a tostino's pizza. I remember those being reasonable points wise when I was previously on weight watchers. And I almost woke up at 6, but in the life style change I'm trying to make almost is nothing. However this morning I did much better. I woke up at 6:15, had me a cup of coffee and a quick and not very tasty breakfast of the Total brand cereal cinnamon toast crunch. It did indeed taste like cardboard but I ate it anyways. I've also been thinking about the chicken we have at the house and how I really shouldn't be eating one whole piece, I need to only eat half of it. This whole eating right this is very difficult to me! I'm not use to it at all! But I'm trying, and I will succeed. This time I have the will power, and dag gome it! I'm going to succeed!

I started watching The Biggest Loser last night and I'm hoping that watching it will give me more encouragement to get my lazy butt up and work out. Yesterday when I got home I didn't work out, but I did set aside time, from 4:30pm to 7:00pm all I was going to do was study, and I did. I ALMOST got on here to blog, but said to myself "NO, this is my time to study." And I got part of my work done that I was suppose to! I've also never done this either. To the observer it might not seem like I'm changing my life that much, or that I'm finally doing things that I should've been doing, and you're right, but the fact that I couldn't do them and now I am means something to me. I am changing, slowly but surely, I'm accomplishing my goals piece by piece. I'm hoping that by the new year (2011) I will have lost 70 to 140 lbs, to get up at 5:00am almost every morning, and to accomplish the daily tasks that I have to, including working out, cleaning the house, taking care of the dogs, cooking dinner, eating healhty, etc. Things that I have been severely slacking on. I have a family now and I need to take part in that, I'm making myself the person I want to be! And I'm so exhausted right now that I wish I could sleep but I have to work, and I'm going to do an excellent job at it even if I have to down an entire coffee pot to make it happen! I really am changing and I really am excited about it!
