I didn't blog yesterday because I didn't have much to say. I was a very quite day of doing things around my room and laundry. I completed my motivational board on Saturday. I put my current goal in bright orange numbers on the board hoping that it will motivate me to workout daily.
I just have to move everyday, stop getting home and sitting in front of the computer. I'm going to set a time limit for myself on the amount of time I can spend online while I'm at home. I don't need to set a time limit for myself at work, I just have to move more.
This morning my co-worker left me a piece of cake from him birthday this weekend. It was a yellow cake with vanilla butter cream frosting and coconut flakes. It was delicious, I ate half after breakfast and the other half after lunch.

Day 4
I didn't give this post a title because I couldn't think of one. Yesterday was just so stressful, I never realized that I'm an emotional eater until last night. I was having withdrawals from the internet and this caused me to spiral out of control. I ate 5 servings of some sort of chips. That is just not right. Oh well, today is a new day and a new start.
Breakfast 9:00 am
1 hard boiled egg, 1 honey wheat raisin bagel with 1.5 tbsp of fat free cream cheese and 1 tbsp of grape jelly
12 oz brewed coffee with 2 tbsp of friendly sugar free vanilla creamer, 1 tbsp cafe al fresco vanilla gourmet syrup, 1 packet of splenda
Snack:
None
Lunch 1:30 pm
1 cup of fried rice (shrimp and veggie)
2 fried wingettes
2 fried shrimp
4 fried calamari rings
2 oz broiled salmon
1 cup of sauteed broccoli
1 cup of yogurt (vanilla and cookies and cream)
1 white chocolate and macadamia nut
Dinner 7:00 pm
McDonald's medium fries, hamburger, 4 piece mcnuggets with sweet chili sauce
1 glazed donut, 1 handful of swedish fish, 1 serving of quaker cheddar rice cakes
Out of control eating. It was serious today, I'm going through something. No sure if it's depression or just loneliness. Either way I need to get out of this funk and fast, before I start gaining weight.
I'm going to make a vision board. I hope it helps get me out of this funk that I'm in.

Just another day - Day 3
I've added a new goal, stop eating bacon. I love bacon, I think I'm addicted to bacon. I'm going to not have bacon everyday, for now I'm planning to have it maybe 3 days a week the most. The sodium and fat in bacon is ridiculous.
I didn't workout yesterday and I don't have a good reason why. I'm not going to make any excuses as to why I didn't workout. I was just being lazy.
Breakfast: 9:30 am
1 hard boiled egg, 1 whole wheat raisin bagel, 1.5 tbsp of low-fat cream cheese
coffee with 1 packet of splenda, 1.5 tbsp of friendly's sugar free creamer and 1 tbsp of cafe al fresco vanilla gourmet syrup
Snack: 11:00 am
1 cup of seedless black grapes
Lunch:
2 cup of salad with 1 tbsp of oil oil
2 oz of grilled chicken
1 oz of grilled salmon
4 ring of fried calamari
1/4 of wild rice with beans
Cake batter and vanilla yogurt (1 cup)
Snack: 3:00 pm
1 oatmeal cookie (company bought us snacks)
Dinner: 8:00 pm
Buttered roll (1 tbsp yogurt butter)
Wise Honey BBQ potato chips (2 servings)
Lam's Plantain Strips (2.5 servings)
I was having a good day. I had all intentions of working out tonight, I got home and it all went to hell. My internet service was not working. I rent a room and the internet was suppose to be provided by the owner. Apparently he decided not to provide this service any more but never informed the tenants. I had to use my laptop wi-fi to find internet service. This really sucks. I called the neighborhood cable provider and they will be out on Sunday to install the service. Now I have an additional bill, this really sucks.
After all that I didn't workout because I was not feeling it. I was depressed, so I ate a bag of potato chips and a bag of plantain chips and called it a night. I'll try again with the workout.

Setting A Goal - Day 2
My goal is to be able to go into any clothing store and buy any outfit that I think looks good. Currently I wear some sort of t-shirt and jeans every day to work. I hate the clothes in the plus size stores. They have no shape or shaped to fit women with big booty and lots of hips. Who ever designs plus size clothing think all plus size women have big giant butts. I don't have any booty or hips. I don't own a dress that I can wear to work.
Another goal is to get out of the 240's. I took me almost 9 months to get into the 240's, I don't want to take another 9 months to get out of the 240's. If I don't exercise daily I won't make this goal anytime soon.
Breakfast 9:00 am
1 Egg veggie omelette with spinach, peppers and ham
1/2 cup of steamed broccoli
1.5 strips of bacon (I need to stop eating this)
12 oz coffee with friendly sugar free creamer and 1 splenda packet
1 tbsp Cafe al Fresco Vanilla Gourmet Syrup
Lunch 1:00 pm
2.5 cup of salad greens
3 fried calamari
2 oz grilled chicken
1 oz roasted turkey
1/4 cup of blackberries
1 tbsp of olive oil
Snack 3:30pm
Whole food breakfast bars
Dinner: 8:00pm
Spicy noodle soup
2 grill cheese sandwiches with tomato
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts
Today was a good day. I'm feeling happy, life is strange and you just have to go with it.
I drank about 72 ounces of water today. I use Mio to help me drink more water, I only add enough to flavor the water.

Still Standing - Day 1 again
I'm still standing. Some days are harder than others but today I'm feeling really down. Sometimes life has to hurt for us to grow stronger. I pray for peace in my life.
I'm currently the same weight I was on 8/13/11 (249.6). That's a little sad. I've completely stopped working out. I keep pushing on, refusing to fall back into my old eating habits. I've cut down on the amount of simple carbs I have daily.
My plan is to go back to gym today and start slowly. I'm going to do at least 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, if I'm feeling up to it pushing for 45 min. I'm going to create a workout schedule using my workout DVDs. I also want to wake up early to do the Turbo Jam DVD.
Breakfast: 9:00 am
1 whole wheat bagel (simple carb)
1 egg (scrambled)
2 strips of bacon
12 oz coffee
1.5 tbsp Friendly's fat free vanilla creamer
1 tbsp Cafe al Fresco vanilla gourmet syrups
1 packet of Splenda
Snack: 11:00 am
1/2 cup watermelon chunks
1/2 cup cantelope chunks
1/2 cup black seedless grapes
Lunch: 1:00 pm
2 cups of salad greens
1/4 cup of whole grains
1/4 bean & nuts salad
5 fried calamari
1 oz general tso's chicken
1.5 oz grilled chicken
Snack: 2:00 pm & 4:00 pm
Skinny Cow milk chocolate dreamy clusters (2:00 pm)
Jell-o mousse temptations caramel
1 light string cheese
Dinner: 8:00 pm
2 Cups of Turkey Lentils soup with peppers, corn, kidney beans, olives
2 grill cheese sandwich on multi-grain bread and 2% cheese with tomato slices
Walked 3 miles using Leslie Sansone's DVD
End of another day. Wash and repeat again tomorrow.

Life Changes
My life has changed so much in the past 6 months. I'm surprise that I'm still standing. There are days where I just want to lay it down and never wake up, but I know I must keep push on.
