Good News

So I had a pretty awesome attitude all day today. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Work was more hectic than usual, I stubbed my pinky toe pretty bad and had a dry throat from talking so much. But then I finally realized why: I've lost 6 lbs. so far! After losing another 1.5 pounds this last week, my total for 4 weeks is 6 pounds. That means I have 4 lbs. left to lose in the next 2 weeks in order to reach my short term goal.

It doesn't seem like a lot, especially since it took 4 weeks to do, but I feel it's permanent, not just a quick fix from starving. I've been working out 4-5 times each week and haven't gotten tired of it. I want to go farther, surpass my short term goal.

Big changes ahead. I'm starting at my university in a week. I've gone from work study to a part time employee at my job. And I don't foresee me at my job for long, due to expecting classwork from taking 5 classes.

And I'm totally excited because Thursday night will be a BIG night on Big Brother!

Two weeks in...

Well, it's been two weeks. Two weeks that I've been very strict about what I'm eating and working out. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, I'd lost 2 lbs. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I haven't had fast food in over two weeks! This is a big deal and big accomplishment. But you know what, I haven't been craving it. If I feel the need to stop and get food, I go to a sandwich shop, where I can get good, healthy, fresh ingrediants. I worked out 5 times last week and 4 times this week. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks until I measure myself again. My two friends haven't worked out or been restricting their eating. I told one that they need to start working out. Sure, without them participating, I'm in for an easy win. But I'd rather lose $100 (what we're all offering, at the end of the deal, as a prize) and have my friends lose weight with me. I'm just trying very hard to make sure I do the best that I can.

Finally

So I finally worked out today. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, reaching just under 2 miles. Obviously, a lot of work needs to be done to get miles down to a better time, but I'm not trying to win a race here. I have meals planned out for the week, as to stop any ideas of grabbing Chick fil A for lunch or pizza for dinner. Besides those types of meals here and there, I already eat pretty healthy. No soda or coffee, eat brown rice, whole wheat/grains everything, low fat/no fat options, fruits and veggies, drink plenty of water and unsweet tea from the pot... Really, it just comes down to me sticking with a workout plan and forgetting those last minute, bad for you meals. I plan on blogging about more than just weight loss, but I guess I'll get to that later. :)

Big Brother

I absolutely LOVE Big Brother. It's part of my summer. Watching the show on TV, online and catching everything that happens inside that house. Thursdays are the biggest night, as it's a live show, so you're not privy to what will happen. Although, you usually know who will go home. It'll be interesting to see who wins HOH this week. Hopefully someone who will break up the romantic pair in the house. So far, it's been pretty boring. Maybe the person in power this week will shake up the house a bit. But first... I'm determined to make my school decision by Monday. I'm pretty sure that I've already made up my mind, but I'm too scared to say it out loud. Not sure what I'll be doing this weekend. I know one of my friends will be out of town. And hopefully another friend feels well enough to keep our plans of working out Sunday morning. I've been good with food and exercising this week. I'm starting to feel my stomach muscles after
