Another Day, Another Food Journal.

Blog Entry
Today was a pretty rough day.
I was feeling very under the weather, and when i start feeling sick - I start craving sweets.
I did a fantastic job at the beginning of the day though.
However, i am noticing I eat far to many carbs and not enough proteins.
That's always been a struggle for me, and at one point, i was a vegetarian so protein intake was almost non exsistent for me.
It's something i need to work on so i can continue burning fat at a little bit of a faster pace.
At the end of the night though, i did sneak a bite size candy in.
My mom always told me that "these are perfect for diets. Stick to JUST ONE and it'll kick that sweet tooth and help prevent cheating at night."
And that's exactly what it did.
I'm not going to count the points for that, because i feel that a small cheat every now and then will only make my stick to my diet that much more.
I have also noticed that i've been sticking to the same foods because they're quick and yummy.
I need to work on meals with a little diversity.

My Current Thoughts on my Weight Loss!

BLOG ENTRY

I've been at this diet for I want to say a little over 2 months.
I've lost around 35 pounds in that amount of time.
My Weight Watchers diet has gotten so much easier in the sense that i'm able to eat reasonable portions of food and feel full.
However, Halloween had to have been the most difficult thing i've had to go through on this diet.
I'm in a new neighborhood, and we bought bags and bags of candy expecting plenty of trick-or-treaters.
However, only around 20 kids showed up, because most of the kids who live here are more my age (high school).
So I got stuck not only having to give out the candy and not have any, but watch my family eat the leftover.
I got through it, and i'm proud.
I'm living by my motto "The results you'll achieve from staying on track will taste so much sweeter then anything you could ever eat."
With that, i'll keep pushing harder and harder until I reach my goal weight, which is 120 pounds by summer.
Which means i have 75 pounds to lose in 7 months.
I feel that this is a healthy weight for a 5'2 girl.
I'm going to work hard to achieve this. This WW diet is the hardest thing i've ever put myself through willingly.
And if I don't reach it by then, who says I won't reach it eventually?
Stay Healthy. Stay Positive. xoxo - Jessica!
