FINALLY!

I finally went down three pounds. Hell, I finally went down. I ended up going UP from 289 to the 295 area and stayed there for like, a week. I've finally fallen to 292! I'll be updating my trackers up there once I get back down to 289 and below.

Maybe this means the losing will start again, finally.

I've had plans to work out three hours a day, but I've been sick the past few days (stuffy nose, sinus pressure, sore throat, ugh) and only really getting in 30-60 minutes if lucky.

Basically, my work out plan is this:

An hour at the gym in the morning
An hour practicing my sticks in the afternoon
An hour with Dance Central at night

I also plan to do what Sara over at  pound removal is doing for her diet. She's drinking a protein shake for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack then having a nice and balanced dinner. She's lost 12 pounds in two weeks doing this. I'm gunna be trying this once I can afford the drinks!

Hmm... that's all I can think to say for now.

So... I think I'm going to have to start things over. This week, so far, has sucked. My self control is like "what? what is this self control you speak of?" It's just not there. So... here I go to count calories. I made myself a diet journal today that I absolutely love. It's so pretty! And yes, I made it from scratch. I like doing things like that. I actually made notebooks for all my friends for Christmas one year, from the look of the covers to the design on the pages. It was awesome.

But anyways, here's my diet journal:

This is the front cover. At the beginning of my journey, I am far, far away 

from my goal, but I'm still working for it!

This is the first page. The castle and the swirly bits are from the paper used on the

front and back covers. The words are Jack Sh*t's post from today, because I

feel it fits how I feel with the diet today and it's actually rather inspiring.

This is the back page. On one side I'm going to put my before picture, and the 

other side will be after, obviously. I'm waiting for the before picture

to be printed and sent to me.

And this is the back. I'm working towards my Happily Ever After!

There's no pictures of the pages because all I did was take graph paper and fold it in half. There's about 200 pages in there. Yes, I'm weird, I like writing on graph paper.

Naw, I didn't make the front and back, they were scrap booking paper that I cut down, stuck on board and made into the front and back covers. I'm not that artistically inclined.

Anyways, I need to work on my self control and maybe this will help. It'll be so much fun! I think I might actually write in this in black, to keep it look classy, rather than my normal purple ink. I'm going to need a lot of support (yey three readers!) even if it's just 'good for you!' lol

I haven't been able to go to the gym cause my mom's knees have been in pain, and she's my gym buddy. And this past Monday, I woke up just before five in pain, so my mom let me sleep in. But we should be going to the gym tomorrow.  My mom got some knee braces for her knees and they seem to be helping.

I know I was going to talk about something else, but I completely forget...

Oh, I'm looking for different kinds of diets from calorie counting all the way to the Paleo diet. Anything at all. Also, anyone got any ideas for how to have better self control, other than just... doing it? Things like chewing bubble gum, etc.

Thanks!
