New Attitude

Okay so last night I called my best friend and I decided that I needed to make a new plan to get me out of this rut and this stupid 5 pound gain-loss that I am constantly stuck on. I am OVER it! I have officially 83 days until I graduate from college and all my family and friends are going to be there! I have this dream of buying this kick ass dress for my dinner and a separate one for my graduation. I mean this is a major photo op where I refuse to take pictures "in my zone" aka my boobs up :|. If I was ever going to come through and make good on a weight loss goal now is the time! I realize that I am the kind of person who needs a pep talk on the daily especially when I become tempted because after that all of my rationale goes flying out the window! So my new plan will include the food combing basis of Suzanne Somers but instead of following the detox and diet to the tee I am going to put in normal foods here and there -- this way I don't feel as if I am on a diet. I have to start thinking of this thing as a lifestyle change instead of a quick fix to lose weight. Part of my new plan is not to weigh myself until March 24th (which is the day I am flying home for spring break) and I hope to weigh at least 150 (my stretch goal is 145) which means I need to lose about 6 - 11 pounds (I'm about 156 right now). I am so excited to get my butt into gear. I am calling it my own March Madness! Today went well I had a smoothie for breakfast, a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich for lunch, and two pieces of baked chicken with mac n cheese, and peas. I've been drinking a really good amount of water too. I would rate my eating today as a solid B (85% I guess? lol)so I am really hoping I can finally challenge myself to fully commit to this change once and for all!
