Starting again on monday

Ok I am going to start dieting again on Monday. Why Monday because for some reason I can only start on Mondays.

I think one of my problems is I am trying to jump into it to fast. So my goal for the first two weeks is going to be eat no more than 1240 calories a day. I was trying to keep it under a 1000 but i will try to 1240 to see if I can stick to that better. That is based on my weight, height, age and activity level. So have a good weekend. I shall be back to blogging on Monday. No better time to start than right before Thanksgiving. LOL.

Monday

Well I so need to lose weight but have no motivation. Being heavier is making me depressed.

I have finally made an appointment to see an allergy specialist for next Monday. The only down side to that is I can't take any type of allergy medicine for a whole week. So if I have an allergy flare up I am gonna be in trouble. If I like this doctor I might even take Aiden to get an allergy test done since he has allergies and exzema.

Anyways for breakfast I had one Nature Valley granola bar 90 cal.
8 oz of caffeine & sugar (coffee)

In the meantime can some one please send me some motivation or some motivational tips to stay on board and lose weight.

Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday

Didn't sleep at all Monday night. I could barely even get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I was sweating or having chills and my head was pounding. I had 1 piece of toast with I can't belive its not butter. Went to the doctor and was told I have a sinus infection and a viral infection. I guess the viral infection it what was making me feel so darn bad. Skipped lunch and then for dinner since I had to take so much medicine with food I ate a bagel with strawberry cream cheese.

Wednesday

Yesterday I had allergies so bad. Thankfully I had them yesterday and not on Aidens birthday. Well today I still have them they just havent gotten real bad yet. Well this morning we had to take Aiden for his two year check up. He weighes 25 lbs and he got three shots. One of them was the flu shot. Ryley didnt get his flu shot cause they were out of the regular kind and I didnt understand what they were telling me about the other one. So I told them I will just wait till you get more in.

My boss asked me if I wanted to go to taco bueno. Oh that was so hard to say no to. I so wanted a taco salad but I looked up the calories and sadly refused.

Side note: I have found I really have to pay attention to what I am eating or I will just gobble everything. When I get my food I have to distinguish how much a portion is and determine how many calories it has before I just eat. Also before when I was dieting I would not diet on the weekend but then the following Monday it would be so hard to get back on that diet routine. However this past weekend I didnt go off my diet and Monday morning I had no problem continuing my diet and I also didnt feel guilty. This weekend is gonna be really hard with a birthday party and Easter. I guess we shall see how I do.

He said the first day he couldnt stay out of the bathroom. I told him he probably lost the 6 six pounds that first day. Pure water weight. He tried to start walking around his job at night and he fell because the sidewalk was uneven. Poor daddy. I am very proud of him for making the attempt to start dieting.
