So Weigh in was today. I was very happy with the results. I lost almost 2 lbs and that with the disaster of consumption that was St. Patrick's day and the total lack of going to the gym last week.
This makes me confident. If I can still lose when I have something like 10 beers (Molson 67) and some shots, then I'm good.
I also took my measurements again and in two weeks I've lost at lease an inch everywhere I measure and 1.5 inches off my waist. That would explain why I'm finding a lot of my PJ pants wayyyy to big. I always buy them baggy but now it's getting kinda ridiculous. I don't really want to buy anything though. It'll just not fit in a month.
I'm due to get my monthly friend this week so I'll see if that makes any changes in how I do this week.
My goals for this week are to go to the gym 5 days! I must do this. I went yesterday and it was so hard getting back into it. I need to keep it up.
Another goal is to eat more earlier in the day. I still find myself saving calories for later in the day and then not eating enough. I doubt I'm actually "starving" myself but it can't be good for my metabolism to basically eat and go to sleep.
Okay that is all. good night!

Not Too Surprised
So Today was weight-in day. Down 0.6 lbs. I wish it was more but really I'm not all the surprised. I'm just glad I lost something.
Last week was just in general a mess. I worked 4 shifts with the edge which means I also ate at least 3 meals at a restaurant. Actually no... It was more.
Sunday: I was good, I ate frozen food at work
Monday: Ate dinner at Wendy's. Had the oriental Salad. Probably one of the better choices I could have made. (Gym)
Tuesday: Had Sushi for Dinner with Fiona. Unknown amount of Calories. Felt way too full. Never a good sign.
Wednesday: Burger for dinner at some dinner in old Cabbagetown. With sweet potato fries. Felt like crap afterward. (Gym)
Thursday: Subway Club for Lunch. Swiss Chalet for dinner. 2 meals that someone else made for me. At least i ate from both restaurants "Healthy" menus. (Gym)
Friday: Grilled chicken breast burger at Frans. Cheese and Guacamole on the burger and sweet potato fries on the side. (Gym)
Saturday: Lunch, Fish and chips at some little dinner near the "Beach". Fish was mostly batter. Dinner, French toast from Frans. Later on 2 Coors at the bovine and a Canadian at some place in Kensington.
Sunday: Vodka+Rockstar, Vodka+soda and a Beef Shawarma.
Yesterday: Back on track, sorta. Ate dinner a bit too late and didn't go to the gym.
Today, realized what happened last week. Ate better. Went to the gym. Today I had a "U-Turn" moment.
The term is from Dr. Oz's diet book and means that even if you get off track you can at anytime turn around and get back to the plan. This is helpful for me because I used to have a bad eating day and just say Fuck it. I had messed it up so I might as well just have another cookie/beer/whatever. I will fall, I just have to get back up.
Tomorrow, is St. Paddy's and yes I will have beer but my goal will be to be aware of what I'm putting into my body. Hopefully the bar we go to will have Molson 67. But if not I will have light beer or Vodka and Soda Tinted green. It looks like I won't get to the gym tomorrow but Thursday I will go (hungover or not) and do it as hard as I can.
Sleep now.

New Life!
Anyone who know me know as of late I've been trying to live more healthfully.
I've been reading this great blog by a woman in NYC who has lost 50 lbs on weight watchers but really she has just transformed her life. It's really inspiring.
I'm going to start doing the same thing. I'll start here but I'll probably change it to a blogspot account eventually.
The last entry that was private was my measurements. I should have done them in January when I started this journey, but better late than never. Looking at them I am smaller then i was 3 months ago. I remember measuring myself for this website that make custom jeans and just being appalled at the numbers. Todays numbers weren't that shocking. Still a long way to go but I'm getting there.
One of the things that Cheryl ( the blog lady) talks about a lot is being assertive and a little bit selfish. You have to make your health your priority. Thankfully, being single and 24 with no super demanding job or school this part is pretty easy. I get up early everyday. Either for work or I head to the gym when there is no one there first thing in the morning. Usually I'm home and showered before my sister even wakes up. To me it's about making excuses to GO to the gym instead of making excuses for not going.
My goal is to lose between 50-55 pounds and I've already lost 14 in 7 weeks. I'm not really putting a deadline on this but it would be nice if I could turn 25 at weight I haven't been in 10 years. I bought a dress that is way to small for me; it's a small size 10. I hope to wear it on my birthday. The only reason I will accept for not wearing it on my birthday is because it is too big.
Well I got to get dressed for the Edge today. Lates
