I'm working on not eating as often as I normally...
Breakfast, lunch, maybe a snack if i’m hungry after school, then dinner.
The end.
Today, when I got home, I put down my stuff and went to get some Sesame Sticks to eat while I watch The Lying Game. But then I thought, I’m not even hungry. You don’t need these.
And I put them down. So now, I’m just sipping on water.
I’ll have dinner around 5:30 then off to church...
I want to start my own diet.
The pickle diet.
I loveeeee Pickles and could for sure live off of them. I wonder what would happen if I actually tried that?
herp derp.
Off to watch TSLAT. This show is strangely addicting to me. I’m almost done with Season 1!
Physical Therapy went really well today.
I’m REALLY starting to feel the soreness in my thighs, butt, ankles, calves, everywhere. It’s the best physical activity that I’ve had in a while. Today was rough and pretty hard on the ankles, but it still went well!
And now I’m home. Doing 6876575896879 different things for homework.
My teachers must hate us.
I'm going to weed through all of the people I...
Not trying to offend anyone. I’m probably still following you on my personal blog though :)
I'm baaaaack!
With good news and bad.
Lets start with the bad and get it over with…
Back in August, I was stepping off of a step and fell, dislocating and spraining my left ankle. ’Twas awful, lemme tell you. I went to a chiropractor a few times and it felt better. Then about 3 weeks later, I shut my right foot in a car door (shaking your head and laughing. I know. Now stop laughing) and...

Eating healthy has been somewhat of a struggle...
My gran has been in the hospital since Sunday. Me and my mom have been pretty much eating whatever we can get our hands on. Which means hospital food or vending machines. Neither are a good option really.
I plan on whipping it back into gear once Christmas is over and especially after the New Year.
New Year, new me? I vote yes!
Gran's body is beginning to shut down.
As selfish as it is of me to want to keep her here as long as possible, I want her to be set free of the chains that dementia has on her life. This past year has been extremely trying and hard on her. She’s gone through so much and fought through it.
She’s not the same Granny that I knew 2 years ago. The disease only gets worse as time progresses. She hasn’t been able to walk,...
I am a sad excuse for a weight loss blogger.
I’ve totally and completely failed at keeping this blog up and also failed at losing weight like I initially set out to do.
It’s kinda depressing. Very disheartening. And really sad.
After having a short conversation with E* on facebook tonight, it reminded me about this blog and why I started it. E was my inspiration and pretty much the reason I started this blog. Her story was...

I'm going to start trying to make just a weekly...
I neglect this blog BIGTIME. And I could probably have that to blame for me slacking off on this whole diet/weight loss/health thing.
Soooooo, I’ll definitely try to start to remember doing a post a least once a week, and maybe the occasional post about what I ate for the day and all that jazz.
Here’s to high hopes!!

I cooked dinner for the family tonight!
Mom had to work, so she asked me to go ahead and cook. It was mighty yummy, even i did make it myself : )
We had:
Chicken fried with some sprinkles of Natures Seasoning which is the best tasting seasoning everrrr. And then some crisco to de-stick the pan, if that counts. Then some AMAZING Brussel Sprouts, ranch roasted potatoes and some biscuts!
I highly enjoyed this meal : ) ...
-1.5 lbs.
Not too shabby for a week i suppose : )
I feel like i'm really on track with this whole...
In the mornings before school, i’ll have a pretty decent size breakfast. Some cereal with some occasional toast, and some fruit. Then for lunch, i dont really have much. I just pack something to eat when we go out to town to eat for lunch. I’m normally not too hungry, since my breakfast stays with me for a while. So i eat my fruit and have a nice cup of water. And after school, i...
Healthy Dinner??
YES!!
Healthy eating day??
YES!!
Win??
YES!!
For breakfast i had whole grain cheerio’s with sliced up strawberries in it (my new favorite breakfast) with some toast, and a cup of water.
Lunch: Where i go to school, we get open lunch, which means we can go out into the town and eat wherever we want. Well, eating at the same places gets old, and i just dont think the food’s any...
Food!
So for lunch i had a little microwave meal thing. Chicken Parmesan meal. I spilt half of the noodles down the sink when i was straining the thing out. That’s a sign that i didn’t need to eat it all!!
But all of it was 490 calories. That’s a TON. Now i know why half of the noodles fell out. I feel bad for eating that now.
I accidently picked up the Marie Callienders meal...
WOOOO!
-3.3 pounds in 10 days!!
Now i’ve just got to lose 2.7 by August 30 to make my goal of losing 5 pounds before my birthday true.
Here’s to hoping!! And party time!! I’m super happy that 3.3 pounds is off of my body.
I had full intentions of going to ride the bike.
I grabbed my water bottle and my ipod, and searched all around for my headphones. To go down there to see a wrench in the floor and the right pedal laying beside it.
THE DANG PEDAL BROKE OFF! So muh daddio came down there to fix it, and he said the “threads” were worn, or somthing along those lines. So he tried to tape it? Well, i made 1 rotation with the pedal, and it fell off.

My day so far.
i woke up at 6:45 because my dog was annoying me. So i just got on the internet, and stayed awake. I got ready and headed off to the house where i babysit, which takes like 10 minutes to get to from my house.
I got to their house, and i rang the doorbell once, and no one ever came. So i rang it again, and i finally got in. Then i’m told that the Dad didn’t have to work today, so i...
I know i say this all the time,
I negelct this blog wayyyy too much. I guess it’s kinda hard for me to just post about food, weight, etc. when i can go to my other blog, and just write, reblog, and post about things that i love and enjoy.
I’m gonna try to keep this blog updated at least like once a day, telling you what i’ve eaten that day and all that jazz.
but i’ve got some good news today!
I lost...

Healthy?? I think yes : )
I got a look at myself in the mirror yesterday,...
I guess i’ve been looking at myself from all these “acceptable” angles, and being okay with what i look like. Well, yesterday, i got a real look at myself, and I was completely grossed out. I have always thought, “Oh, i may be a little big, but there are other people bigger than me” or “Well, i’m okay” Well, I’M NOT. by any means. This ends...
I've eaten vury healthy today!!
Breakfast: Chocolate Wheat Thins
i know this isn’t the best choice, but it was the healthiest breakfast food the people i’m babysitting had!
Lunch: some Mandarin Chicken and Rice meal by SmartOnes. and i ate probably half of it. It’s not very good, at all. And it’s made me sick. Gross. So then i had a pickle, which is like eating nothing. No calories and all that...

Guess who last 3.5 pounds in 6 days??!
This girl right here!!
WOOHOOOOOOOO!
I know that may seem like a lot for 6 days. But for these 6 days, I’ve watched what I’ve eaten and not eaten as much, so if this happens every week, I’ll be to 135 in no time, right : ))

On a happier fashion-y note:

I’m so proud! Haha.
I was planning on weighing myself tomorrow...
But I found out today that the steroid pack I was on last week for my “chronic sinusitis” can make you gain 10-15 pounds. Great. Just what I need. But a family friend said she took it, and she lost 10 pounds.
Hmmmmm??
But next week i have to start taking these JUMBO pills, 3 times a day for 3 weeks.
Side effects: nausea, vomiting, and dierreaha.
I’m gonna be miserable.

Running Update
So last week, i didnt do the running plan like i said i would. Due to, dance, ballgames, and aunt flow. I just figured it wouldnt be a good time to start, that’s just the inner runner hater in me though. But this upcoming week, i’m going to do my best to get out there and run! I’m planning on only drinking water and juice, eating healthy, and running of course!!
i went to...
Foooooood.

-Whole Grain Waffles with nonfat vanilla yogurt and berries

I can’t wait to try this running plan out. I’m gonna start Monday so my weeks will be pretty even and stuff. Plus Monday is a good day to start anything!
So this is what I’ll be doing from now on.
And mom is done!! Already. That took all of 10 minutes. Yayyy for Cheddar’s!!
So, I'm sitting in a waiting room, waiting on my...

I think i'm gonna jump on the running bandwagon??
Everyone in my town is doing it nowadays.
If it makes me healthy and is good for me anway, why not try it out??
I dont think i’ll run today, but i think i’ll start tomorrow. I’m gonna start off by just running around my “block” if i feel like i can run farther, i will. If not, i’ll take my time. I’m sure it’s a gradual thing, and it takes time to...
I got a dress today!!
I may wear it for Easter, but I’ll definitley wear it to church and some banquet occasions though.
It’s a size 13/14 : ( that’s not acceptable. But it’s adorable and it makes me look relatively slender, if I do say so myself : )
It’s very simple. It’s royal blue, with a blak patent leather belt that sits at the perfect spot on my waist. It fits...
My dinner was extremely good, and healthy.
I think that food always tastes better when it’s healthy because you know it’s actually good for you!
My dinner;
A salad with a wee bit of cheese & grilled chicken.
A glass of water
And a cup of pineapples!!
Yummm
I've got an experiement brewing : )
I plan on weighing myself Saturday, not drinking ANYTHING but water, and then weighing myself of course again on the next Saturday, and then see if not drinking pop/milk/kool-aid/whatever will affect my weight??
Let’s hope it does : )
I guess this means no tea, dang it.
I guess I’ll get my tea drinking in today and tomorrow!!!
I had a very healthy dinner
I’m proud : )
I had someone tell me...
That I looked like I had lost weight : )
That’s a real confidence booster right there. Now I’m gonna weigh myself. Even though I know I have gained weight.
Stupid apple dumplings.
I'm done with spamming you
: )
go about your ways now.
Did you know?
That in order to lose one pound of fat, you must burn 3,500 calories.
Wow.
