The REAL day 1

Alright, I weighed myself this morning. It's worse than I thought. 179.6 :( I nearly cried. Thats 50 pounds to lose! That is the exact opposite of easy. I'm creating a chart on Exel to keep track of weight loss, I was hoping to find an APP on this website but I didn't have any luck.


Anyway, back to food log!
Lunch: Chick Fil A, one of the other options on campus for my meal plan. I had a fried chicken sandwich and a fruit cup. That totals to about 530 calories and 17 grams of fat for lunch. Not too bad I suppose but I could improve on fat grams. Usually I would get the sandwich and fries and a sweat tea which is 940 calories and 38 grams of fat. The best thing for me to do is get the chargrilled chicken sandwich and the fruit cup for 370 calories and 3.5 grams of fat.
Dinner: Taco Bell. Again. I'm getting tired of it, I'll have to go to the sub shop tomorrow. I had a number 1 this time. Burrito Supreme with chicken and a hard taco with beef. That was about 560 calories and 22 grams of fat. Thats all I'm going to eat today. Those burritos are like... huge man.


So today's calorie intake is 1,090. Which is well below the number of calories suggested to lose weight. However, I am taking in way too many fat grams! And also, I'm feeling very tired lately. And I think that's because all I've been eating is fast food. Seriously! And that is why my school offers and what my friends want to eat. Sure, I can get something low calorie... but is it necessarily nutritious? Not really. But I think I'll be going over to the sub shop tomorrow and getting a sandwich for dinner and trying the chargrilled chicken sandwich at Chick Fil A for lunch. 


Also, I want to establish smaller goals. Just looking at the sentence "I'm going to lose 50 pounds" is scary. That number is a monster! It is extremely intimidating to look at it like that. Instead, I'm looking for losing 15 pounds by Christmas! Which, by the way, will be rewarded greatly. My mom offered me a lot of money if I can lose 15 pounds by then! And after that, as soon as I drop down to 159, I'll be in normal weight range for my height! Well, more or less. It depends on which chart you use. 


But also, a couple days before Christmas I'm having surgery on my teeth so I won't be eating much anyway. I'm sure that will help at least a little bit! 


I can't decide if I want to go to the gym tonight or not. I hate the gym, I get really sweaty and I can't really do all that much but it makes me feel better to know that I at least tried. The campus gym classes at 11 so we'll see how I feel in about an hour.


Anyway, thats really all I have for today! Have a wonderful night who ever ends up reading this. :)
