FML

I have to admit I am feeling a little failed by all my efforts to lose weight. I work out so hard and try my best to eat right, but yet I am not losing. My body still looks much the same to me as well. I know many people say not to depend on the number on the scale, but it is hard not to. I never measured myself, which I probably should have. I just never remember quite where to do the measuring! I just don't get it. I always read "Success Stories" about people who have lost weight and they seem to always do it so effortlessly. "I walked on the treadmill 30 minutes a day for a month and lost 30 pounds!" Seriously, screw you. Just needed to vent my anger a little I guess.

New attempt at weight loss

This past week I have been using a new website called www.myfitnesspal.com. It is really user-friendly. I just enter in all the foods I eat for the day along with what exercise I have done and it calculates how many calories I should be eating based on that information. For a while now people have been telling me that I don't eat enough, so I am going to give this a whirl and see how it goes. Wish me luck!!

Wow

Okay seriously. I need to buckle down on this weight loss stuff. I keep going up on the scale instead of going down. This is ridiculous!! I know that exercise is not the problem. I work out almost every single day for 30 - 90 minutes. I have also been making an effort to change up the work outs I do. So I am not concerned about that. It has to be my diet. I feel that I eat really well during the week. It is ALWAYS the weekend that screws me. There is always eating out, drinking, etc.. I know I need to drink less and eat out less. It just gets hard when we have plans all the time. I have to control myself whether I am with friends or not. That is the bottom line. Now if i can just follow my own advice....
