This last week has been rough. I've gotten a little off track. I'm still eating pretty healthy compared to what I used to. I have been doing a lot of carb crashing though. Tends to be what I do when I'm UBER stressed. I've still been working on getting my vegetables. A lot of you will be glad to know that I still haven't had a pop and I'm still drinking plenty of water. GO WATER!
I hope things work out with this job I got though. Finding a place to live between now and then is going to be rough. I think I have something worked out. Who knows, We'll see. I really need to work on working out like I said. Let the hectic life continue.
I'm also going to try and update this daily..if not every other day.
Thanks for reading!

Day 6
Not everything in life is a race. With this there is no "finish line" there will be no day I'm done "dieting" because it's not a diet. I have to keep reminding myself that. Today wasn't too great. I'm going through a lot emotionally. I even went to a buffet and didn't over indulge. I've been super tired today. I know I'm not drinking enough water. I'm basically going to start using my blog to make me be more pro-active and accountable for what I eat.
So. Lets leave it at...Tomorrow will be better...

Days 3/4/5
Day 3. Today was easy. I had a really great day. Didn't work out like I should have, but it was a good food day.
Day 4. Roomie and I went out to eat, BAD food day, but we needed to "eat until we were super sick" and we did. Buffets are diet kryptonite. But that was ALL I ate all day and I drank a ton of water and I did work out.
Day 5. (today) Today wasn't great. Granola bar and Propel flavored water for breakfast, Subway soup and 6 inch for lunch, Snack, peanut butter and jelly (it was a craving) The plan for supper is two oranges and salad. I got some really bad news today. There was a death in my family on my dad's side. I'm not doing as bad as I normally would with the over emotional eating, but it's taking all I have to not stuff myself full. I do plan on working out later, just to make some time go by.
Personal Note: I am going to try and do this blog everyday. I have been super tired the last few days, hang with me :) It'll get better I promise.

Day 2
Today went pretty well. I ate three balanced meals and one snack. I'm really sleepy tonight. So to recap on my 1-5.
1. NO SODA/POP!
Did great with this one!
2. At least 2 servings of fruit and 3 vegetable servings.
Rocked this one!
3. At least 4 glasses of water...to start.
Not so great. I think I got in about 3, if I can count sugar free kool-aide
4. Find a balance between carbs/grains and meats.(No more carb crashing)
I had 2 mini bagels for breakfast and crackers for snack..so not too bad.
5. 30 Minutes of Exercise 3 days a week.
Not today. I did Monday and I will tomorrow.
Today was a pretty emotional day. I've wanted to eat eat eat and eat all the wrong things. I'm learning the difference between hunger and boredom or just being thirsty. So far everyone around me is being pretty supportive. Tomorrow is a new day emotionally.....Sleep Sweet!

Day 1
I'm not going to give these blogs unique titles unless it's something BIG!
So with that said, welcome to my blog about my weight loss journey. I've been asked by a few people, including my mom, why are you doing this? And my answer has pretty much been the same. I want to be healthy. This isn't about size or weight, although losing weight will make me more healthy, it's about me being a better example by eating healthier and exercising. I'm ready for a change, I'm tired of every month my clothes get tighter and tighter.
Some of it is physical. I know I'm cute, I know I'm a beautiful person when I want to be but I know I'll be able to do more and achieve more if I'm not as heavy. I guess now that I've accepted myself the way I am and I realize my size does not define me to the people that really know me I can finally change.
Some of it is wanting to have control of something in my life. I feel like so much of my life is unknown or out of control and this is my small step to regain some of the power I have. Honestly I'm the only one who controls my food intake, but now I can have control over it and a goal. Goals are good.
I'm not following a "diet". I didn't pick up a Weight Watchers book, or a Adkins Diet website. This is NOT a diet. It's a change in my lifestyle.
So those of you who don't really know who I am or are really curious what my goals are:
My name is Laci. I live in Iowa. I'm 28 and weigh over 300 lbs. I honestly don't know my weight, but will find out soon. I know I'm in a size 30/32W clothes. I'm going to take measurements sometime in the next week, and I will post those also. I'm sure you'll learn more about me if you decide to follow my journey. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
This blog is more of a way to keep track of my days, my moods, and my losses and gains.
I was thinking about posting a daily diet log. I'm not sure if I will or won't. I might some days just in case someone is curious as to what I eat or don't eat.
My 5 Goals for the week:
1. NO SODA/POP!
2. At least 2 servings of fruit and 3 vegetable servings.
3. At least 4 glasses of water...to start.
4. Find a balance between carbs/grains and meats.(No more carb crashing)
