Weight Loss Beginning Today...

Well today is the day I am starting over. I am thinking Sherrie will be engaged in the next few months and probably getting married within a year. I cannot be this fat and be the maid of honor. I got on the scale today at school and I weigh 235 pounds - wow, I actually typed that number out. Maybe this is what I need some type of diary to vent/track/journal etc. to get myself back in gear. Today I am going to journal what I ate. Overall it's been a good day. I passed up freshly baked chocolate chip M&M cookies at my mom and didn't eat the 4 pt. bag of cheetos puffs. I grilled chicken on the George Foreman, which hadn't been used in ages, ate some fruit/veggies and feel pretty strong.

Breakfast
Oatmeal Square - 4 pts.

Lunch
Meatloaf TV dinner - 4 pts.
Fruit cocktail - 2 pts.

Snack
Emma's goldfish - 1 pt.
Small banana - 1 pt.

Dinner
cucumber with vinegar - 0 pts.
pork and beans - 4 pts.
grilled chicken - 4 ozs - 4 pt.
hamburger bun - 3 pts.

Total for the day
23 pts. - 5 left

I also drank 4 bottles of water and 1 can of diet Barq's

I didn't workout any but hopefully getting my eating in check will start me off good. I'm trying to not get on the scale until Friday and hopefully will see some type of result. It's so hard when you're in the habit of getting on the scale daily. Well we'll just have to see how I do. God, grant me the strength to make it through this week and be successful.
