So today I tried to eat healthy and did okay. It was a pretty blah day with the same old work routine -->trying my best to stay busy and set up work for the week.
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast:
1 banana
2 pieces of wheat bread
Snack
Cheez Its
Lunch
Chicken Fajitas (Fresh n Easy)
1/2 a pack of Maria's cookies
and a few vegetable chips
Snack:
~6 peanut butter Girl Scout cookies
Peanut butter w/ banana sandwich
Dinner:
2 large drumsticks (BBQ)
rice
salad w/ Italian
2 Glasses of RC Cola mmmmmmm my favorite!
As I tried to find healthy eating options today I became discouraged once I started looking at all the nutrition labels. All the good things I wanted to eat were sooo high in Fat and sodium so I reluctently opted for some healthier choices. As soon as I started eating the blan food I realized why I love my cheeseburgers, fries and burritos so much. I also attmepted to go to the gym today (I thought about it) but as soon as I got home I sat down and started reading my book (House of Versace) for a few hours. Now that its after dinner I feel overly full but at the same time I am craving some cookies. I will most likely eat a few with a glass of milk once my food settles. One thing i did accomplish today was increasing my water intake I drank about 30 ounces today not bad considered the day before I had just a few ounces. I realize now that its crucial for me to pack a lunch and take it to work so that eating healthier is easier. Lets see what happens tomorrow.

Introduction- A little bit about me and my mission.
I am a 29.5 year old female. I have been skinny my entire life...until NOW! Over the past 15 years I have taken for granted how lean and thin I was and developed some really poor lifestyle habits. I eat fast food 5-7 times a week and I don't exercise at all. In fact I HATE GYM & GYM HATES ME!
My typical day looks like this. I wake up at 7:30 and I usually don't eat breakfast. I go to work and sit for 8 hours and do only computer work, I don't eat any snacks so when lunch time comes I am starving. At 12pm -1pm I go find fast food to eat, it's usually a burger or a big giant burrito. I then go home at about 5:30 eat a bunch of snacks as I make dinner or watch hours of YouTube videos and then sit down and eat a fairly larger dinner at about 8pm. I wake up and do it all over again.
Recently I have noticed some changes in my body, although I am still thin compared to most people, I feel the beginning of the end approaching. Most of my pants are really tight around the midsection pushing my new fat up and out and digging into my abdomen. Its incredibly uncomfortable and relief occurs only when I unbutton my pants or just take them off. A noticeable muffin top has developed as well fat along the bra line and back area, and cellulite in the upper thighs. So instead of increasing my pant size I've decided to be proactive and change my lifestyle.
I am going to eat better (no more fast food), drink more water, and exercise regularly. By far out of the 3 goals establishing a regular exercise routine will be the most difficult. Why? Because I HATE GYM & GYM HATES ME! Going to the gym is worse than nails on a chalk board... cotton balls on dry hands...loud eating.... a sick person sniffing up their boogers...etc.
I developed this blog to help me track my progress, share my triumphs and failures with all the feelings associated with them. This goal is very plausible and I will be able to achieve it. I will need to set realistic goals and stay motivated, determined and committed. I will not post my weight , BMI or % body fat. Instead I will track my progress with inches lost or gained, how my clothes are fitting me and my overall mood/feelings. Any feedback and constructive advice will be greatly accepted!
Sincerly,
Moi
