164

So I am 4 pounds up from the last time I weighed in.  I'm sure its because I ate so much on my vacation and it's embarrassing how little control I have about what I eat.  That is another reason why I want to become vegetarian is because I will always have to think about what I am eating rather then just eat everything around me.  I had a good workout today and I am going to drink a lot of water today so I'm hoping I can at least lose 2 pounds by tomorrow from water weight and because I was pretty bloated this morning. 

Intake:

BREAKFAST

(I already cheated on my new vegetarian diet! grr. I guess I didn't really decide I was going to give up fish but it's disappointing that I couldn't get through one perfect day of being a vegetarian.  I have only decided to give up beef, pork, chicken, and turkey for now.  I hope I can eventually work off the fish, milk and eggs.  But that might not be for a year or so. I guess I didn't exactly cheat but I still sort of feel bad about it)

Salad w/ lots of nuts (300)
Low Fat Ranch (240)
Wheat Dinner Roll (76)
Honey (180)
Butter (69)
Grapes (124)

Exercise: Walk/Run 1 hour (-721)

Consumed: 2272 calories

Net: 1551

So..... Not such a great eating day.  I really want to make a goal to have my net calories be a negative number!  The thing was I thought I was making healthy choices all day but I obviously have a problem with my portion sizes.  I also was being dumb today when I was choosing to eat a bunch of nuts.  I was just so worried about getting my protein in today that I completely forgot how high in fat and calories nuts are.  I think I need to do more research on how to get vegetarian protein but not only from nuts and peanut butter...

I bought some new running shoes today.  I am so excited to use them! They are the new Nike shoes that are supposed to feel like you are barefoot running! I hope it helps my knee not hurt so much when I run!

Anyways I found a quote I like "Excess to XS" Thought it was a good thinspiration quote.

New Leaf

So I just got home from vacation and I am feeling way sick! I ate so much! I mean like maybe 2 or 3 weeks worth of food.  I am only going to drink water for the rest of tonight but I am have been thinking about something.  A lot of girls are my school are becoming vegetarians or Vegans. A lot of them have said how much more energy they have and how they are happier and feel healthier.  I think I might want to do this.  I have always loved animals and when I was in Junior High I was a Vegetarian for 2 months or so.  I think what my problem was I was to young to really know what I wanted and I started off to quickly.  I have read up about the Ovo-Lacto Vegetarians.  Which means they don't eat meat from animals but they eat eggs and animal products like milk.  This sounds more reasonable for me at the stage i am at.  I also don't think I will give up poultry just yet.  Not only do I need to ease into this new lifestyle slowly I have to ease my family into it.  We will see I'm still thinking about it I haven't made up my mind yet.  But I am going to try it out for a bit.

Weight Plateau

So for the last year or so I have my weight has fluctuated from 170 to 160.  This Sunday I weighed in at 160 and this morning I weighted in at 163.  :( GRRR. I have been eating pretty good and exercising 4 or more times a week for the last 3 weeks and I keep losing and gaining weight within 170 and 160.  I am so sick of these numbers! I think I just need to be more stricket on what I put into my body and drink a lot of more water.

So far I have had a piece of bread and a mango today.  I plan on going to the store sometimes today or tomorrow and buy some green tea. I want to drink it in the mornings I read that it increases your metabolism and who doesn't need that? I guess skinny people don't but I could defiantly use it.  I went to the gym today ran a mile did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 25 minutes on a bike.  Then stretched and came home and did sit ups.  Now I need to shower and get ready to go to work.
Wish my luck on the rest of today!

Fat

I am so uncomfortable in my skin.  I have been trying to eat healthy for the last 2 weeks and I do pretty good all week but then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday roll along and I blow my whole week.  I have been 160-168 pounds for the last two years and its way to much weight!!! I need help and I would love some support. I am keeping myself anonymous (no my name is not Megan Winters)  but I would love your support and tips for losing weight. This is me as of a few months ago but I haven't changed much sense these were taken.  Tomorrow I will weigh myself and measure myself. I'm hoping this blog will help me stay focused!

I am 5'4 my goal is to weigh 120-125 I am hoping to achieve this over this summer. I have 16 weeks until I go back to college and I want to be confident in the way I look and I want to feel good about myself.  I obsess about how i look and I get depressed about it.
