The Journey Starts

I found that I weight more when I’m wearing jeans, boots, and a sweater (DUH). But also that I think my period causes me to retain some water weight or something. I’m still on it, but it’s not the beginning (and we all know the beginning is the worst).

Reflection on yesterday: I didn’t do any exercise. I was in the car for most of the day because my step dad was driving me back to my university. No excuses, but I just felt tired because of my period and everything. Anemia doesn’t help it any.

However, I did eat pretty well. Oatmeal, quaker cereal bar (okay this is not so well, but it was better than fast food on the road!), a turkey sandwich on wheat bread, apples, peanut butter, more apples slices at 12 PM, and I tried green tea.

So, I kept my calories low and I drank three bottles of water (more than my previous 0 bottles). It’s a step in the right direction.

I also told myself I would not drink milk or store bought juice any more. I also decided I’m going to try my hardest to not eat processed food (I’ll leave my peanut butter in the equation for now though).

So, today I have to drive to Charlotte to visit my boyfriend and his family then down to Augusta to see my dad and then down to Columbus to stay with my boyfriend until the semester starts up again. Okay, I’m not going to all of those places today, but I am kind of worried because it’s harder to control what you eat at someone else’s place.

But I said harder, not impossible.
