Day 1

Day 1 of a weight loss plan is always painful. It's the day you step on the scale to see how much you suck. Today I sucked enough to have gained over 10lbs since October. Yup, I suck. I was down to 181.4lbs at my last weigh in, today I was at 192.2lbs. *cry*

On a bright side, I did find out that shoveling snow is great exercise and burns lots of calories. Here's hoping we get several feet of snow before spring comes! Another good note. Brianna was asking today when we were going to do more "gym class" type stuff like hiking/running/ect... So that means even after the snow is gone, I should still be getting off my ass.

Today I discovered the nice cheap bagels I bought are over 500 cals a piece *cry* Guess I'm going back to the expensive Weight Watchers bagels. At least they were only 150 cals. I'm also rediscovering my cup-o-soup pouches. While they are pretty high in sodium (never something I've had a problem with so not terribly worried), 2 pouches is just over 100 cals and fills me up. Chances are, this will be my lunch quite often!

Now to figure out supper. I am a BIG lover of comfort food. That sucks. Comfort food usually has 486,935 calories per serving *sigh*

My first long term goal is to be down 25lbs by Olivia's birthday (so 167lbs). My first short term goal is to be 185lbs by my birthday (so down 7.2lbs). I worry more about the short term goal than the long term one.
