wow haven't updated in a while.
Let's see, I started last Wednesday at 175.
I am at 171.
I had a serious wake up call today. I have high cholesterol. I think it was like at 249, which is high risk, and if I keep that up, then I could end up having a heart attack by the time I'm 30. So I've made goals and a meticulous food diary that stays in my purse.
Here are my goals:
Lose 15 lbs (160)- renew subscription to shape magazine.
Lose 30 lbs (145)- get a bra from Victoria's Secret
Lose 40 lbs (135)- get pants at the Gap
Lose 50 lbs (125)- get 6 articles of clothing from Old Navy
The first two have been approved by hubby (I am a SAHM mom, so erm...it's his money lol.)
But this was a total wake up call. I really need to be healthy. I want to live to be 80, and I can't do that living like this.
I retest my cholesterol in 30 days.
I am going to beat this by:
limiting "hamburger meals" to twice a month. Every other Wednesday.
Keeping up with food diary (so that way if cholesterol doesn't drop by diet & exercise, then at least I have proof I tried).
More chicken and fish, less beef.
If it is animal based, then it has cholesterol, eat more stuff that grew from the ground.
Blah. I also keep up more with my other weight loss journal, so if anyone has a xanga..then:

Well eating wise, I haven't been doing all that great. I haven't been eating much as I haven't had an appetite, but it isn't 100% healthy.
Exercise, I've done it 4 times this week already. I am no longer sore, and actually feel a bit tighter =). I've been really tired lately.
Yesterday:
B: Two boiled eggs.
L: nothing
D: milanesa (breaded steak) with brocolli and 2 small baked potatoes
S: strawberries
Today, thus far:
B: woke up late
L: 2 red enchiladas, refried beans, rice, caldo de res, 2 corn tortillas.
Liquids yesterday:
4 bottles of water
reg sized strawberry smoothie from Sonic
today: thus far
1 bottle of water, 2 cups horchata, 12oz Dr. Thunder
Slim in 6 once again today.

I went into deep thinking last night. It's like in my head I think that as long as I think I want to be healthy, then I will become healthy, but I'm not taking the necessary steps in order to reach my goal. It's not going to happen unless I do something.
My STG is 144. It may seem far, but I think of it as attainable. I get off of birth control in like 3 weeks (or two). I need to narrow my eyes and look at that goal. When I almost indulge in junk I have to remind myself how my body feels afterward. I get a huge stomach ache and then retain water like crazy. Same with soda. Obviously my body doesn't like junk. It wasn't made to eat junk food.
It's weird. My highest weight before was 148, and that is the day when I got checked into the hospital to give birth to my daughter. Six weeks later, I was already down to 118. Bleh.
I need to stay on track. Need to.

That which is bitter to endure may be sweet to remember.
Well today wasn't a good day, but I have to remember that today was just that...one day.
recap:
le breakfast: none
lunche: cici's pizza: 3 slices pizza, salad and pasta
snack: 5 strawberries, cheesestick
dinner: one piece of Popeye's chicken, 1 tablespoon mashed potatoes, corn on the cob (no butter or salt tho), half a biscuit
liquids:
5 bottles of water
about 30 oz of soda =/
exercise:
slim in 6 otro ves (i am very sore from yesterday!)
It was a very long day in deed. I had lost my military dependents ID, so I went to the ID office, and the systems were slow. Let's just say I was number 135, and when I got there, they were on number 013. I got there at about 10am, and went out to lunch at Cici's with Mike at noon, got back at 130, and I finally got called at 2:30.
Ok this is long enough of an entry. i am typing on an indestructible keyboard while my daughter watches Shrek on my laptop. May I mention on a PC I have had since I was 15 (I am now 21).

Well tomorrow is take 2 (or 3 hah) on the SBD. My sister comes home in 8 weeks. I kinda want something to happen to my body, but I have to take responsibility to make it come off!!! It's kinda hard with my husband and mother, but I have to just cook seperately than them. I'm also going to do the Slim in 6 videos. Let's see how that goes. I'm getting off the birth control pill when this pack is over (I have about 2 weeks left), so I hope to lose as much as possible before getting pregnant. (I estimate it'll prolly take months to get preggers anyway).
I need to change my lifestyle. The good thing is that drinking soda makes me feel sick. The site of a burger makes me feel sick. So I'm sure the change won't be too hard. I've also had a loss of appetite. I'm falling into old habits in my brain (I have a long history of depression). Kinda like Maria Wyeth. I felt numb all day. I could ride this out though. I know I can, and have before.
Why do I always start over and over again?
My goal for this week:
1. Follow the SBD.
2. Just press play.
3. Sleep earlier to wake earlier.

Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.
I decided to say "Fuck the scale".
The scale hates me or something. But yea, I decided rather on a healthier lifestyle. Rather give up the following:
Alcohol (in about the 3 wks I've turned 21, I realized I really don't need it!)
Carbs (well at least for the next 2 wks)
Soda (did I ever need it?)
I think I am retaining a lot of water or something. The scale read 175 (O.o) this morning...well after I ate 2 boiled eggs and 2 bottles of water.
Snack for today: string cheese
Lunch: tuna w/ spinach and romaine lettuce salad
Snack: yogurt
Dinner: seasoned boneless, skinless chicken breast w/ asparagus and some sugar free jello.
I also realize that I lose motivation when I look at things days from now. So my new resolve is to take things one day at a time. If I could stick to this today, then awesome. Tomorrow is day 2, and that isn't the same as today, but just try sticking to it one day at a time, and not really concentrate on it as "how much do I have left in this strict phase?".
I can do this because my body wasn't designed to be like this. It wasn't designed to eat McD's (and I know this because it always causes heart burn). It wasn't designed for pizza. It craves the healthy stuff.
I can do this.
Mood:  optimistic
