The Usual.

Yeah, yeah. I haven't updated in almost 2 months. I'm running. I'm starting a new diet today. All the usual stuff I talk about, right? Well, I guess you can just call me repetitive then! I did end up kicking the vegetarian thing to the curb. I really missed chicken sandwiches! :) But, as usual, I decided to start a diet right before Thanksgiving. Today is Day 1 and it's so much harder than I remember it being! I did this same diet about 5 years ago and lost 25 pounds on it. Luckily, I don't have quite that much to lose...and I don't want to get *that* skinny again. I got down to 112 but those last few pounds came off the bad way. By just not eating that much. This time I am aiming to lose 10-15 pounds. Of course, if I lose 15 pounds, that puts me back at 115 and then I'm just about as skinny as I was before! That's why I threw the 10 pound goal in there. When Jonathan and I first started dating, I was 118 and pretty happy at that weight. I still felt comfortable and I was actually eating, so I was less grumpy...I'm sure. But, I still maintained some self-control when it came to food. Why order a regular combo meal when a kid's meal fills me up just fine? Yeah, yeah, it's still fast food either way, but at least I'm not scarfing down enough food to feed both myself and Jonathan!

Anyway...Day 1 stats...
Starting weight: 130.2
Food: Grapefruit, 1 slice of toast, turkey cold cuts, tomatoes, lots of celery and carrots, 2 handfuls of cereal and 1/2 Clif Bar (my cheats for the day)...dinner will be fish, salad, 1 slice of toast, and fruit.
Workout: Rest day, technically...but I didn't run on Sunday either...
Feeling: Hungry.
