Perfection in pearls! I joined one of my BFFs in the gym on campus this morning! I am so happy that we are encouraging each other! I am committed and it feels great to have people on this journey with me!

I did well yesterday, except for the entire bottle of wine I drank, ouch. The new guy brought it over for me, so….
But today was good.
Oatmeal Green Tea Bag of popcorn Slice of Whole Wheat Bread Egg and 2 ounces of chicken on slice of whole wheat toast Smashburger sweet potatoe fries
All came out to 855.

So yesterday I had my first self control fail. I had three pieces of toast and peanut butter. Seems harmless enough right? But each piece of toast was 90 calories and then 190 calories for each peanut butter…which 145 calories of those are fat might I add. Then I had two chicken breasts.
So oatmeal at 100, popcorn at 225, peanut butter toast x 3 at 840, chicken breasts x 2 probably 400 is 1475 which in my mind is a fail.
But whatever, scale said 225 this morning so were cool.
Random thoughts I had today:
1. I love hot tea. I have faith in the fact that green tea somehow helps me
2. Hot sauce and mustard are the best condiments ever for not throwing off healthy eating.
3. I love sleep because it helps me avoid idle eating.
4. Peanut butter is satan.
5. I love whole wheat goldfish. You can eat 55 for just 140 calories! :)

Okay ladies and gents…. I know it has been a ridiculously long time since I have updated. My last post where I said I was bingeing basically turned into me falling off the wagon, super tough. But alas, many of my circumstances have changed, so I have good updates to report.
I moved to Phoenix on January 15th which means living alone (without the temptation of my moms fatty Southern food) and being on a tight budget. I decided that I was going to do the healthy eating again, and this time FOR REAL.
I am happy to say that I have been doing well for 6 WEEKS NOW, with almost 20 pounds lost! I was at 243 when I started and now I am at 225.
Basically all I am doing is cutting stupid stuff out of my diet. I eat fruits, vegetables, lean meats (turkey, chicken, pork tenderloin, and fish), whole grains, lentils, and I only drink water and tea. Now, I do have a cheat day, once a week, every Saturday. I am VERY STRICT ABOUT THAT. I only eat junk between 12AM and 12PM on Saturday and I don’t allow myself to cheat AT ALL otherwise. Honestly, my body is so reprogrammed that I feel super sick when I eat junk. This works for me, but I’m not saying it will work for everyone. It holds me accountable while still giving me a reward that I can hold out the rest of the week for.
So, you guessed it, I’m not doing the vegan thing anymore, although I still love vegan foods and dishes. I’m keeping it really simply by eating on a budget. Honestly my diet consists mostly of instant oatmeal (not with the added sugary fruit), spinach, broccoli, apples, bananas, eggs, whole wheat toasts and all those meats I added.
When I first began I was snacking a lot more, I had granola bars, protein bars, and wheat thins, but now that I’ve gotten over the hump and reprogrammed my body, I find myself not needing them anymore.
Although I am happy with the weight loss, I’m about to kick in some exercise as well and see what I can really do!
I’m happy to be back. I’ll update my stats on the side shortly! :)
