Randomness

This diet is getting the best of me. My weight is fluctuating and I'm just so tired of it. It seems like it'd be just so much easier to eat what I want, when I want. Katie is getting married in four months and it's a good thing that she wants me to wear a black dress because otherwise I'd just look like a cow. Maybe I still will. Whatever. I just wish that there was something I could take to help speed this thing along. I can't take any form of diet pills since they have so much caffiene, and maybe I should just take that as a hint. It's just that it's too hard doing it by myself. I feel like I need that little extra push. I'm thinking about looking into the green tea stuff. I'll let you know how it works out for me...

Vacay!

Let me begin this blog by telling you about my amazing boyfriend. He has been holding a surprise trip over my head for the past month and last weekend, we finally went! We went to Savannah, Georgia, and had the best weekend. We went to the Candy Kitchen, PAULA DEEN'S RESTAURANT, took a tour of the city, and went to tour a renovated Catholic cathedral. It was the best weekend I've ever had!

I can't decide which part of the trip was my favorite because every thing we did was so much fun! The Candy Kitchen--all I can say is wow. Everyting was covered in either milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate. And Paula's was just amazing! Timothy had BBQ, and I had a meatloaf sandwich. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!! The city was also beautiful. All of the original buildings are still standing and the original parks are there. And the cathedral--I almost cried when I saw it. They spent over $12 million renovating the church and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life! If at all possible, I will be getting married in a Catholic church.


Anyways, on to the diet part since this is why the blog was created in the first place. I gained over a pound, which puts me at 267.8. But. My boyfriend is amazing, and I love him! And I'm so happy...even though I can't find my camera. He made the entire weekend about ME and he planned the trip all by himself. Yes, I gained a pound, but I also had a wonderful time with Timothy and the trip brought us closer together because we could relax and enjoy each other and experience new things together.

I'll just have to work on double duty this week.

Good Points

I weighed yesterday and I'm down to 266.4. In one week I lost one whole pound and six ounces. I counted calories, and never went above 1500, and I walked two miles everyday, which concluded with three rather nasty blisters on my right inner thigh. And it was one freaking pound. ONE.

However, my very supportive boyfriend made a very good point. He said that it may have been only one pound after a week of eating right and exercising each day for a week BUT. There are 52 weeks in a year and that even if I only lost one pound per week I'd lose 52 pounds (which is half of my goal). He's pretty much amazing.

What adds to his amazingness is the fact that he hasn't brought a single fast food container into my apartment, he's eaten a salad when that's what I'm having for supper, and he's walked with me. He got Matt, Kim, and Avery to join in with us, too! Timothy even set up the treadmill in his apartment so that I can still walk with him there if he doesn't want to get physical. I'm an independent woman, but walking around outside by myself is not only stupid it's dangerous. All of these skinny prisses running around the campus in pitch black dark with headphones in their ears are just asking for trouble. I did see one girl running with a dog, but it was a poodle. Please tell me what a poodle is going to do to an attacker. At least run with a boxer, or a rotwieler, or a lab. You need something that looks ferocious, not a dog that has red toenails and a haircut that leaves their butt bare.

One pound and six ounces. It's better than nothing, but I'm aiming for two next week.
