lose weight

I haven’t been exercising as much as I should be. Tonight I need to get outside again, but it’s been warm out, hopefully it’ll cool down enough to do something before dark.

Also, I need to pay more attention to what I’m eating, I seem to have thrown that to the wind…

Well, I seem to be having a little bit of luck, I’m down about a pound or two since I last checked in on here (my weight fluctuates quite a bit normally, so while I may be down two pounds one day, the next morning I might be back where I was. Such is life.)

What’s really neat, though, is that (and this may be all in my head) I seem to feel smaller, if only a little bit. I need to keep this up, I kinda like this feeling. I’ve been kind of letting the diet slip a little bit, but I’m not really feeling bad about it, I just need to pay more attention to what I’m eating instead of just munching stuff down ‘cause I’m bored, which is a bad habit I’m trying to break. Also, I need to get out and do more active stuff.

Here’s to hoping this week will be even better!

Had a decent breakfast this morning, could have been better, but who can resist Nutella, honestly?

And besides, it was followed by a 6 mile bike ride, so I think they might even each other out.

Hmmm, now what to have for lunch?

I decided this morning that I’m going to have to do some kind of celebration when I get back down under 200 lbs, as I haven’t been that low since some time during my freshman year of high school. 12 lbs to go…(though part of that is bloating/water, beginning to hate pms with a passion, it’s messing up my knowledge of my success…)

I wrote an entry here before, but it disappeared immediately after I wrote it, so we’ll hope this one works better.

Let’s see…well, I’m home for the summer after freshman year at college (managed to avoid the 15, but I did regain anything I had lost initially with the change and all, way more active at school than at home actually), and my goal for the summer is to lose 15 lbs, 20 being the real target but 15 being the more attainable goal.

I know I can do this if I want to, it’s just a matter of applying myself. I seem to get all fired up and really try to make a positive change, but then I lose steam and end up back where I’ve started. I can’t seem to put forth a consistent effort at it.

I have, however, been able to keep with some of the little changes I’ve made, such as drinking more water and trying to eat more veggies and stuff (mostly as snacks) and less processed stuff. We’ll see where this takes me in the next week or two.

Anyone have any tips to help me be more consistently striving towards my goal?
