New Approach?

The numbers aren't budging. I know exactly why, though. It's so hard to lose weight while you're going out with friends. My goal is to be 182 when school starts next Monday. Ambitious, I know. 2 pounds in a week. But I'm gonna do it!

I walked a lot yesterday after the treadmill, so I got a blister or 2. Soooo, this morning, I only hit the weights instead of the treadmill. I figure my feet could use a bit of a rest after that. (We went to an outdoor concert, which we ended up having to park a mile or 2 away... and then we went to a bar, which also required parking and walking. Stupid Brianna wore the wrong shoes, of course, so here we are. Blistered.)

So today's approach is to count all the calories. If I can't log it, I can't eat it. Haha. But seriously, I want to lose this extra baggage! Although, I love myself the way I am. I just want better for my body so i can live longer. I have a friend who has lost a ton of weight, is currently in the low end of normal for BMI, and has "17 pounds" until she reaches her goal body of actress Krysten Ritter. When she is trying to deny she has body dysmorphic disorder, she says "Well, I want those 17 pounds because then maybe I'll love myself!" and that, kids, was possibly the saddest thing I've ever heard. I told her that she should love herself before the 17 pounds, and that is what I'm trying to do.

So, love thyself enough to track thine own calories.
Yeah.
