My October Journals

October 27, 1999
         Today was weigh in day!  No, I did not lose 7 pounds, but i did lose 5.7 lbs.!!  So, that's good.  Today I had a breakfast bar, granola bar, Arby's Roast Beef sandwich, a couple ritz crackers, and some trix cereal!  Yuck, all junk!!  i know all the sugar and refined flour isn't doing good things for me!  So, tomorrow i will not eat any junk, only good stuff.  And, for anyone who cares, the costume is taking shape!   Thanks for listening!

          Well, I don't even have the time to write in this journal today, but I thought I really should so, here I am!  Let's see, ate breakfst bar this morning, fruit, yougurt, and some sort of pasta for lunch/dinner, and 2 cups(this is an oops) of trix dry cereal at night!  Bad bad, I know, it's just processed suger and junk, but I had so much homework, that I snacked while doing it!  I got my self into more stuff, I said that I would make my friends little brother's halloween costume!  That would be fine, except there is no pattern I can work from!  How do you make a pokemon costume????  Well, so add that to my list of things to do!

         Ok, This is the last time I'll mention the counter, but wow again!  Never though more than 2 people would come by!  But thank you all for your support!  I also thought maybe I should clear something up, I do know that losing 33? 32? well, a lot of lbs. in 2 monthes isn't exactly realistic!  I just know myself and I know that if I don't try for something high, I will settle real low and eventually stop.  So, if I try hard, and yes, I will try, I will be happy with where I get!  Well, today I ate a jenny breakfast bar and milk, even had bread and more milk(gotta have calcium!) and soup for dinner/lunch.  and some Yougurt after work.  Exercise was work again, EXTREMELY stressful today because we were short and I had to cover 5 million tables, at least 12!  And there was a leak in the kitchen so we were slipping and slidding all over the place, ah! And I have a calc test tomorrow and I am clueless about this chapter, and a million other things that weigh on a high school seniors mind!!!!  Tomorrow I plan to do some sort of an exercise since I don't work, if you see me on, msg me and tell me to get moving!

          Wow!  I just happened to notice the counter thing, and stuck it on the bottom of my page in the afternoon before going to work.  I came back and I think around 200 people had come and looked at my page!  That made me kinda self concious, since I hadn't advertised this at all, I assumed I had a bit of time to get it going!  Oh well, I guess that is good, now I know people are watching me, and that I better do well!  Anyways, like I said yesterday, today's eating was the same.  Went to work, drank water and a little diet soda only, then had a meal during my break at 2:30, it was Jenny Food again, pasta.  But, today I also had one of those Jenny cakes.  And a very small bite of candy, oops!  And, again I got a lot of exercise!  Now, the weekdays are different.  I have a different schedule, school from 7-1 then work from 4-7.  That just means I'll be home for a long time and when I am home for long periods of time I tend to get the munchies!  But I'll try not to let that happen tomorrow!

         Today went well.  I didn't eat much, but I don't know if that's much of a problem.  I went to work at 11am and didn't eat before, I came home and ate at 2pm.  I had a Jenny Pizza.  (In case you can't tell I'm on Jenny Craig)  Then I went back to work until 7pm.  I did not eat after that, only 3 tootsie rolls, which isn't much, probably only 1 gram of fat and a few calories.  Nothing else bad today, except for maybe a sip of regular coke.  I also got a lot of exercise today because I waitressed for 6 hours!  I know I should have eatten more, but I couldn't pass up the oppertunity where I was too busy(and kinda disgusted with food) to want to eat!  Tomorrow might be the same.  I will only weigh myself once a week on Wednesdays.  Last Wednesday I was 197.7, we'll see about this Wednesday!

Today is my first day writing in this journal.  I saw the whole idea of it and this page and liked it so much I started immediately.  I hope you don�t mind Kim if you are reading this, but after all, imitation is the best form of flattery!  Anyways, it will be good for me to get this out somewhere so I can be held accountable, because I seem to slide when nobody knows what I am doing!  This way I can�t slide without somebody knowing about it!  I would really like to lose 32 lbs. by Christmas time.  It is about time that I tried to lose the weight!  I have to stick to the diet plan and also start exercising.  That is something that I have�nt really done before, so if I could develop an exercise plan and stick to it, that would be great!!  My goal is to lose 7 lbs. this week.  I know that sounds like too much, but what I really want is to get down to 190 by next Wednesday.  This last Wednesday I weighed in after pretty much eating everything in sight for almost the whole week.  It is a surprise I didn�t gain anything!  So, I think that it is probable that I will lose 7 this week, maybe, I�ll find out!  Today I pretty much stayed right, except for 6 tootsie rolls(oops) and a smige of chocolate(penny size)  also I worked, I�m a waitress, so I got exercise!
