Hey all--I'm leaving for the week for New Hampshire for a family reunion/vacation....hopefully they'll have lots of fresh veggies :) At least I wont be at risk for eating to much--never do around a lot of people. Have a good week without me (I'll be back next saturday)

 Here is the NEW analysis for the day. I fucked up at the end bc I ate my calories (but with 4 peices of whole grain toast and smart balance. Hope you all are real happy. I'm off to the gym.

---------

Hey, just got back from the gym and feel a LOT better. Sorry if I sounded really angry and frustrated in the last few posts last night, but I was. This new system is just new to me and I have a hard time trusting that it will work for me (like I'm some kind of exception). Don't leave because you think I'm some kind of bitch or something--I just am having a hard time. Thanks :)

So--this is what today's intake looks like--it was hard since I got up at 1:15 in the afternoon--but I spaced this all until 8:45. So--unless I'm hungry later on (which I won't be bc I feel really full right now) this will be it. Tomarrow I'll try harder. Ugh I'm having the worst time getting enough calories without bready things. Hmmm

I feel so incredibly bloated and low from the last two or three days of eating too many carbs and not enough fresh veggies and fruit. Ugh. I probably feel this way because of all the sodium as well (nonfat cheese singles are EVIL--about 400 mg of sodium per slice and I usually use two.) So--I'm scared for weighin tomarrow but also am conviced not to freak out on myself because I know a lot of it will go down relatively quickly if I'm dilagent about my water intake and DON'T HAVE ANY MORE CARBS FROM WHEAT PRODUCTS!! I swear I must be allergic to the stuff because I always feel so bloated and weighed down after and my clothes ALWAYS fit better if I go a week or so without it. Gotta boot me if I begin making excuses!! :0)

tomarrow I will mark: "Day 1"---this means day 1 of no wheat products and no bingeing. Also, my new system (from today's earlier post) will commence at 00:01 July 12. I am really buckling down and getting serious about these ten pounds that are keeping me from getting cute new jeans and being 100 percent satisfied with myself because in general I am a pretty confident gal :)

General Calorie Breakdown Plan:

• Breakfast---200 cals                        
• Snack--------120 cals  
• Lunch--------230 cals          
• Snack--------200 cals
• Dinner-------250 cals
• Snack--------150 cals

**All "meals" should be at least 2 hours apart from each other and any more  "sugary" things should be towards the beginning of the day.***

*****Goals for July:

1. Eat at least 3 servings of veggies a day (shouldn't be hard since I love the stuff)
2. Drink at least a gallon of water a day (also shouldn't be too hard)
3. Don't eat after 8:00 at night
4. Eat breakfast every morning--no exceptions!!
5. No refined flour or starchy foods like pasta or bread
6. Get a good balance of carbs/fat/protien daily
7. Eat in 5 or 6 incriments of 200-300 calories throughout the day
8. Do cardio 4 days a week and strength training 5 days a week
9. No more than 20 grams of sugar a day TOPS!!

***Little non-food related goals:

1. Keep my room clean (gaahhh--this will be hard)
2. Don't be too hard on myself
3. Confront a friend who's said a lot of hurtful things to me
4. Write at least 3 letters
5. Help my mom clean and reorganize the basement
6. Save (completely) every other paycheck I receive
7. Write down every purchase and keep track of running balance

Also, I will record everything I eat in my food log and weigh myself every other day to keep myself on track and to be able to have a visual reminder of my progress. I think it also will be a good idea if I kept track of when I eat because I want to spread out the calories to keep hunger low and metabolism fired!! :D
