Need a Food Journal

I think I need a food journal. The one time I lost weight was on weight watchers and I think a lot of that was because I actually was keeping track of everything I ate.

Right now I am just hoping that I am eating less than I did the day before. I know I am not eating healthier than I was the day before. I need to try and get rid of the gluten from my diet too. Pretty sure its what makes me feel gross most of the time.

Last summer I was drinking smoothies all the time and I felt great. The only problem is I do not remember what I was putting in them. I know the new thing is to do a juice diet, but that doesn't make sense to me. I will keep all the fiber in diet thanks.

I will need too look up a few recipes again.

Mid week update

I don't like Tuesdays. They just seem like really shitty days to me. It's also the day I usually end up falling behind on. Because of how busy it is, it's usually pizza day which means a lot of calories. Today I ventured across the border and ended up getting a cherry coke...more calories. I wont even mention the amount of chocolate I purchased (but have not eaten) hiding in my closet.

I am very bad a restricting myself in the what I eat department. I know logically that I shouldn't eat pizza, but it's delicious. I know that pop is gross, but sometimes I have a craving. I don't really know what to say other than that.

I'm going to have to find a way to have it all.

I wish it was summer so I could put more fresh veggies in my diet without it costing so much money.

Day One

All right so, I have made that wonderful choice of trying to lose weight. It sucks. Already I'm trying to figure out exactly what I have gotten myself into.

Here's my back story: I'm 30 years old, I have one child and a wonderful partner. I have been on medication that has caused me to gain weight. I'm still on the medication, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to try anyway. I'm really unhappy with the amount of weight I have put on, especially since having my mini human.

I have scoured the internet for things that will help, and I'm sure I'll try several things in the next few weeks.

First on my list to try is The Venus Factor: (if you click the link, it will break everything down into the sciency stuff that I don't fully understand.)

A program that claims that it's specially tailored to women to help them lose the most amount of weight. Who knows if what they claim is really true. Sounds promising, and I'm desperate enough to go ahead and give it a shot.

On top of that of course, I'm drinking tones of lemon water, cut my calories down, and am currently waiting for that other top marketed item the garcinia cambogia. I can't even say it properly.

Here is my weight for week one: 226 lbs

My wonderful stick person me. 

Here's hoping that something that I'm doing will at least help me to drop two pounds in the next week. I'll let you know when I start on the "miracle drug" as well.
