Day ? (what feels like a million) Whitney

I planned out how many days it is going to take to drop a certain amount of pounds. I figured I'll be in the area (barely) that I want to be in by February 11th, if I lose about 1-2 lbs per week. Doesn't that sound like a million years away? What I did was write the date, day of week and what I expect to weigh if I keep up with diet and exercise into my food journal. Then I wrote at the top of the pages "Please don't quit!" and things like that.

Today was an okay diet day and a kick ass work out day. I woke up at 8 a.m. to discover my tire was flat. While I waited for B to come home and fix it for me, I went for a run in my neighborhood. Then I joined B and his bud for lunch where I ate a Which Which Italian sandwich. Wait, wait before you worry too much: I had it on whole wheat bread with no mayo, no chips, and a water. It was still bad, I know. Meanwhile I watched B and Bowie eat mega sandwiches with greasy chips and lemonade. I tried to chew slowly so I wouldn't want anything else. THEN Bowie ate a rice crispy treat. Boo :(

The guilt from Which Which drove me to the correct frame of mind. Leah came over and we took the dogs to the park, then went to the Rec. On the way to the Rec, we stopped at the track because the weather was so amazing. At the Rec, I did cardio and abs for a little over an hour. It was rough. I did a machine today and yesterday that I had never done before. I like to call it the "walking through sand" machine. It feels like you're running through sand. It looks like an elliptical but don't let it fool you. And by the way, how many tiny, tiny, muscular, little, tan beeotches must I work out with? They are crawling all over the Rec center. I guess its inspiring.

After the Rec, Leah and I went to the store and got some healthy snacks: grapes, strawberries, 100 calorie cracker packages, pineapple (although I'm not sure how to cut it), 100 calorie pudding packs and mini dill pickles (which I later found out were jalapeno pickles and still delish).

I showed Leah my before pic that I'll def. not be posting on here. She didn't say much besides, "I can't wait to see the after pic." Me too Leah, me too. I'm down another pound in the last few days, so in spite of the weak moments, I've lost weight. What do ya know?



KEEP IT UP! Going on day billion on diet 100. Make it the last diet ever! I think I'll go lift my 5lb weights and watch American Idol now.
