(I'm going in small steps. I might be happy with myself before I get to 150, and I might think that 150 is either way too small or not small enough! I won't know until I get there, really...wish me luck!)

I set up a strict workout schedule for myself for the next two weeks.
What I have scheduled for myself right now is 5 days per week with Wednesdays and Saturdays off. Every other workout is either 60 minutes on an elliptical machine or 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes weight circuits.
I’ll change up my workout after two weeks, but I need something to keep me motivated. I’ve written it down on my calendar and everything. :)
I MIGHT have to change it up a little bit, considering I don’t have my work schedule yet. Like, if I work a double next Thursday, there’s no way I’m gonna go and lift weights after being on my feet for 12 hours straight. I’ll just have to switch my off days. I’m not worried.
I’m excited for a bit of sweat tomorrow.
I don’t know how I feel about this. I mean, I understand how it’d be a fun and motivational tool, but I don’t want to treat working out like it’s a chore that needs to be rewarded…you know what I mean?
It’d be nice to see your money accumulating for a new outfit/new whatever while you watched your body change, though.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
I haven’t been on here in forever, and I’ve lost track of my weight loss goals.
Here I am, though. 1:14 AM, ready to keep going.
My goal this week is to drop 2 lbs.
I can do that. :D

Kind of an emo night. Sorry ‘bout it.
I’m just lying here in my bed and I can’t help but notice how big and flabby my stomach still is, even after losing almost 30 lbs. I’ve been feeling better about myself lately, but JEEZ, I just feel so ugly and bad about myself tonight.
I wish I would have taken pictures of myself when I first started so I could compare myself to them now. Because let me tell you, I’m feeling pretty sad tonight. Wah.

Missed Wednesday, so Weigh-in Saturday
This week was SO FRUSTRATING. I feel like I didn’t lose much.
Highest weight: 225
Last week’s weight 200.2
Today’s weight: 196.9
This week’s weight loss: 3.3
Total weight loss: 28.1
Obviously, I DID lose some weight, but I feel like I didn’t see that scale budge once! Almost to the -30 mark. Why do I feel like I’m still so big?
I’ve never been thin, and I don’t think I ever will be.
This isn’t a self-hate post. I just really don’t think my frame can ever be “thin.” I think I’m always going to be a thicker girl. I’ve never had small thighs, even when I was like, 160 lbs in high school.
Speaking of high school, I cannot BELIEVE I thought I was fat. I cannot believe it! Oh, how silly I was. I look back at my pictures and I remember my insecurities. I remember how I felt so insecure in my homecoming groups because I was a size 8 or 10. A fucking 8! To be fair, I was the size 8 girl in a sea of 0s and 2s, but STILL! AN 8?! And I thought I was fat. Shameful.
I can’t imagine I’ll ever have thighs that don’t touch. I can’t imagine I’ll ever be considered a “skinny” girl. I could be slender or fit or toned, but I think just my BONES will keep me from being “skinny.”
Does this all sound crazy? I don’t mean to sound defeated or like a pest. I know I’m going to look good. It’s just odd to see myself losing weight and knowing that even if I TRIED, I could probably never get past a size 6 or 8.
Oh well, mama’s gonna be looking FOOOIIINE by Christmas time. :)

Weigh-In Wednesday.
I haven’t done one of these in MONTHS.
Highest weight: 225
Last week’s weight: 206
Today’s weight: 200.2
This week’s weight loss: 5.8 lbs
Total weight loss: 24.8 lbs!
Panera has some pretty healthy salads…if you doctor them.
Today is one of those days when I feel like doing NOTHING. I’ve been sick lately and today is the first day off from work I’ve had in about 2-3 weeks. I slept in until noon and decided that I wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with cooking today.
On this strict diet of mine, it is kind of hard to find a place that I can order a healthy meal. I haven’t gone out to eat in like, 3 weeks. I was skeptical about eating a salad from Panera, but hey—on a lazy day like today, I figured it was worth a shot.
I got the Strawberry Poppyseed salad, or whatever it’s called. I got it TWO TIMES today. That’s right. The first time, I got it with chicken, like it normally comes. The second, I got it with their seared steak. Both times, I got it without mandarin oranges, blueberries, pecans or the dressing. I took it home and added some red wine vinaigrette and cracked pepper.
OH MY GOSH, it was so delicious BOTH TIMES. Absolutely fantastic. According to My Fitness Pal, it was 160 for the chicken salad and 300 for the steak salad. Not bad at all!
I am having so much fun losing weight, you guys. :P
