That having people move in with us, even for a little while is not good for my eating habits.  It has been just my boyfriend and I living together for the last 2 years.  I buy all the food, so  I get to choose what comes in the house, making it much easier to control what I eat.  Well, this week, my boyfriend’s best friend, his girlfriend, and their 2 year old son, have moved in with us. Just for a month or so, at least that’s what I am being told.  But since they have come to stay, all I can say is “HOLY JUNK FOOD, BATMAN”!  So far I have been doing alright handling it, I knew that a weigh in was only a couple days away, and I lost 1.5lbs, so I must be doing alright.  I would be lying if I said I haven’t slipped here and there.  Fortunately, they have been small slips…a couple of potato chips I didn’t really need, I just wanted to have.  a cookie the next day. What is really getting to me is that the only beverage they bring into the house is SODA….The one thing that I have been trying to avoid like the plague…Unfortunately that was my downfall this week.  I have drank more soda this week than I have all month.  SO..now it’s time to start completely over and NO MORE SODA…Back on just water…Wish me luck!!

Today is a very lazy Sunday for me.  I haven’t got the energy or want to do anything.  I even went upstairs planning to take a nap, but after a couple of minutes forced myself to get up and do some exercises.  Didn’t really help with the lack of energy, but I am glad I did it.  The more I do now, the more I will be able to do in the future.  I just keep thinking that and it makes me push a little harder.  Gonna do another set in a little while. I was planning on doing more tonight, but I figure, the way I feel now, if I don’t do it soon, I probably won’t do it at all.  It’s just one of those days.

Well, I slept through breakfast, not getting up until almost one.  I woke up Sooooo hungry.  I didn’t do too horribly, but it definately could have been better…2 eggs with cheese on toast…and a can of pepsi….Gotta make it up for tonight…But I felt guilty, so instead of a 5 minute walk I went out for 10…which I know isn’t much, but for me it’s a lot.  My legs were burning halfway through and I was breathing very heavily when I got home…so I guess it’s good.  Thank God I live on a hill…lol..otherwise it might have been pointless.  Well…no more soda today, going to stick to just water the rest of the day.  Hopefully that will even things out a little =)

I have gotten a few responses to my first blog today and I wanted to say thanks to everyone. I have a feeling that this site is going to be very good for my weight loss management (aka…DIET..LOL)  I took some advice and started walking for 5 minutes…I will keep adding time each day.  I think it’s going to be very helpful having everyone here who is going through what I am. Especially the people who are close to reaching their goal weight, or have already.  You guys are very inspiring.  Thanks again.

Today is my first day on this site.  I am really hoping this will help keep me motivated.  I don’t have anyone that I can really talk to about my weight and my goals…it seems everyone around me is happy with themselves…everyone but me.  I have tried every diet out there and nothing works…I am now, just trying to change habits instead of “dieting”.  I am trying to  completely cut out soda of my life, when I was drinking approx. a 2 liter a day…I am trying to only drink water now…So far so good..although I admit I have had a can or 2 in the last 3 weeks.  I also no longer eat after 8pm.  I have cut out salt completely.  The one thing that I am really having trouble with is getting the motivation to exercise.  In the past month I have lost 7lbs, but unfortunately I know that it would be more if I could just get up off my butt and exercise.  Any ideas on getting motivated?  I hope to be able to chat with some of you soon…
