Update

I've been on my diet for a good three weeks now, and I'm trying my best to be good. To be honest, if I didn't have my cheat day, I'd be going nuts by now... oy...

So, just to make things more interesting, I'm going to start posting my weight every week as I weigh myself in. Thats right... the ultimate form of embarrassment: saying your weight out loud. When I started the diet I was 215lbs... and I am now 211lbs. There. I said it. hah.

My goal is to be about 200lbs by the time I start back to school. a.k.a: September 8th. 11 pounds in 1 month? I think I can do that... but I gotta be good... real good. Time to break out the treadmill and start doing those crunches. Wish me luck!

Oh, and I'd like to thank Georgina Dollface for the great tip she gave me earlier in a comment. "Always eat breakfast within 1 hour of waking." Before the diet I never ate breakfast... not sure why, just never had the time I guess... Now I make sure I have at least a breakfast shake before I leave the house, and I'm sure to keep it in the 1 hour time frame. Just by having even a quickie breakfast I automatically become more energized and awake. It's awesome!

Anywhoo, Thats all I got for today. Until next time,

A Little Transformation

I read a quote the other day that went something like: "If you keep searching for the meaning of life, you will never live". While this may be true, I decided to do a little searching for myself.

I've always been a little rough around the edges: overweight, just passing grades, and not too sure what to do with myself. Now don't get me wrong, I have no intention of changing who I am on the inside, rather, I want to do a little makeover on the outside and on my outlook on life. Not only with my diet, but with other things as well... I suppose this is kind of my late resolutions for the year... I want to do better in school, do a little volunteering, and maybe do a little catching up with God.

So, to officially mark this new transformation, I went out and got a perm today. Thats right... my normally straight hair has been transformed into a fro-like work of art: and I love it!

But I guess thats all I have to say for today...

So, until next time,

Live, Love, Laugh

Diet time...

Wow its been forever since I've been on... sorry 'bout that. You know how it is with summer though... vacations, sleeping, working, more sleeping, more sleeping... ... ... get the point? hah.

I'm officially on a diet. Thats right. I'm on my 2nd week of hell and have lost only a few pounds, but I'm determined. And damned determined at that. lol. A healthy lifestyle is supposed to bring forth a better outlook on life, better concentration, more energy, and losing a few sizes won't kill me either. I'm aiming to lose 50lbs... 3 down, 47 to go... lol. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress as I go along.

Anyone have any good methods to lose weight? Diet tricks? Easy exercises? I'm looking for anything to help get me through this. Once I get going it'll be easier I'm sure, but up until now it's been hard.

Anyway, until next time,

Live, Love, Laugh
