Getting back to it

I can't even count the number of times that I have changed up this blog from weightwatchers to bodyforlife to fitness to just plain personal diary. The truth is I haven't contributed much to this thing in the last two years. In the summer of 2007 I weighed 277. By that fall I weighed 265. In the last two years I have fluctuated from being a high 248 to a low 234. Right now I am at 240. For someone my weight, that is pathetic. I should be able to lose at least 1-2lbs a week. I can't seem to stay consistant. It's because I let my food addiction rule me. I give in far to often without even thinking before I open my mouth. This sets me up for a downword spiral of not being able to stop eating. Then the guilt and all or nothing attitude sets in and the thoughts of "OH, i'll try again tomorrow, may as well eat my brains out".

So here I am, starting again. This time I am preparing ahead. I am going to blog everyday, and prepare my meals ahead of time. I have a cooler in the fridge set up with most of my food for tomorrow. This is what my day looks like tomorrow:

Protein Shake-2pts
Apple and string cheese-2pts
Tomato, onion, romaine lettuce, a drizzle of olive oil, 2% cheese, pickles, mustard, lean ham all on a wholegrain roll-11 points
Shake and natural peanutbutter and an apple-5 points


Dinner will be grilled chicken, steamed green beans and sweet potato-7 points
snack-popcorn and shake-3pt
total for the day-30 Tomorrow I will take a long walk and lift some weights.
