First Thing's First....

I was totally prepared to begin my weight loss plan today!! In fact, I went swimming laps today for two hours! However, when I went into the pantry to find something for lunch I realized that I do not have the correct food in my house to start a diet. I found some spaghettio's, ramen noodles, cheetos, chips, cookies, etc. ALL BAD!! So, tomorrow morning I'm going grocery shopping... and that's when the fun truely begins!

Shopping List:
Wheat Bread
Progresso Canned Soups (100 calories each)
Fruit
Raw Veggies
Potatoes
Cheerios
2% Milk
Bags of lettuce
Chicken Breasts
Turkey Burgers
Low Fat Butter
Pretzels
Non-buttered popcorn
etc.

Please do not hesitate to add to my shopping list if you think I'm missing anything. ;)

Post-pone

I am putting off my plans for just one more day because I woke up this morning with the most painful neck cramp in the world. I must've slept wrong or something. I can barely move my head or shoulders without being in a lot of pain, let alone work out and/or swim laps. I'm still watching what I eat today and drinking lots of water, but i'll offically start tomorrow.

I'm so bummed because I was ready to get to work this morning!! lol.

A New Begining

Let me start off by saying that I have been meaning to start a weight loss plan for months now, but every time I barely get past the second day and then I give up. So obviously, this is going to be extremely difficult for me to do... BUT... i'm going to do it. I swear. I looked in the mirror today and was just extremely disgusted with myself. I wanted to cry. They say that people eat in order to make-up for something they are missing in their life. Then I started to think about how I am going away to college in just a little over a month. I will be in a whole new town, surrounded by new people and new experiences. I would like to top that off with a whole new me... well, at least on the outside. (I like my personality just fine and wouldn't change it for anything.)

So, here I am. I realized that I have a google account and remembered that I could make a blogger. Someone told me that it's a lot easier to follow a weight loss plan if you write everything down and document it. I'm going to blog about my journey to lose weight. Right now it is 1:00 in the morning, so this will begin tomorrow. Wish me luck.
