Feb 15, 2009

So, I got to 176...then gained to 186 and sat there for a month, and today, down to 179.  

I know exactly why.  This semester started 01.12.09 and my brilliant self thought I should take on 19 hours.  Now, yes, it's alot. It's alot more to think in terms of being a single mom of four (two are in college with me) and three year old twins (who should be in college with me and the other two). 

So, between working and going to school, being a mom and a human being, I have been eating on the run. Yes, I coulda made the protein shakes but no, I grabbed the easiest thing available.  I'd forget to eat or blow off eating until I got to work and of course, whats available there? omg!!  Why, tell me, did they put a KRISPY KREME CASE in there?!?!  My breakfast of champs: donuts and coffee.  Lunch: macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, bready sandwiches/burgers. . . just whatever is available to eat that moment. 

I was aware of it but I didn't fully think about it until about a week ago soooo, I just cut some of the junk and dropped 7lbs in the past week.  I've been eating breakfast at home OR just having premade shakes by the door so I can grab a few on my way out. Increased my water/fluid intake. Chicken salad prepped at home then taken in a container to work/school (I work on campus) has been a life saver. Just little things that made a BIG difference. 

Am I going to make goal?  Duh! Of course. I think 135 is around the corner but stay tuned cuz next month, I'm gonna post pics so you can see the huge difference between 286 and 176 (or less by that time).  Believe me, I look so much smaller than I am. I see my reflection and invariably it takes a second or two to realize that's me!

It can only get better...
