Along with the joys of planning for the big day, one of my bridal projects is (like most brides out there) to lose weight and get in shape. Although I have been trying to accomplish this goal for what seems like ever, my efforts usually drop off after week 1. Like i said, procrastination is my best friend.
I have always been the 'bigger' girl. Not super fat, just big. I am on the tall side (5'8 3/4") so it helps to hide the rolls and cellulite i have accumulated since high school. But my thighs do rub together when i walk; my torso has indents of where the rolls are when i slouch; my hips and quads have iridescent stripes from years of stretch marks; i am normal, i know, but typically unhappy with my body. A few years ago I started taking some meds which had the nasty side effect of weight gain. Within two months, 40 lbs magically appeared on my hips, thighs and belly. I must admit that my diet and lack of exercise didn't help. Though even when i did exercise, i didn't lose any weight, which was extremely disappointing. I have since switched meds (this past July) and am pleased to announce that i have dropped 12 lbs. I am officially under 200 lbs now. Only 40 or so more to go... This gives me hope. Hope that i actually can be fit for my wedding day; hope that the weight gain will go away while i am on these new meds and hope that I will be once and for all happy with my body. (sounds like a Valerie Bertinelli weight watchers commercial right?...)
Anyway - to help keep me writing and to help with my goal to slim down, i want to keep a food diary of what i eat each day. So here it goes:
- 1 x peanuts and almonds special K cereal bar
- 3 slices of ham and pineapple pizza hut pizza
- half a bottle (591 mL) of Pepsi
- 6 large glasses of water
- 6 mini spinach quichelets
- 1 tsp of chocolate frosting (its that week, i NEED chocolate)
Yesterday I had:
- 2 x peanuts and almonds special K cereal bar
- 1.5L water
- half a bison burger (leftover) with goat cheese, onion and tomato
- handful of fries
- 6 fudgeeo's
- 1 tbsp of chocolate frosting directly from the can
- 1 100 calorie bag of natural flavored (ie no butter, minimal salt) microwave popcorn
please don't judge. i am still new at this.
