Alright, so back to the calorie counting and hopefully more exercising. Boyfriend is convinced that he can drop 30 lbs in 100 days. I am convinced that I can drop 30 lbs faster than boyfriend. And I am nothing, if not competitive. So today I consumed 1300 calories, and I weigh 185 lbs.

Breakfast:
Banana
Fiber One Strawberry Yogurt Yoplait,
Mid-morning snack:
Good Sense Dried Pineapple
Lunch:
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Three Cheese Ziti Marinara
Afternoon Snack:
Carrot Sticks
Dinner:
Campbell's Soup at Hand Creamy Tomato
Red Lead Lettuce Salad with Chicken & Thousand Island Dressing
Rye Toast with Olivio
Dessert:
Grapefruit w/out sugar

All I have to say is I am SOOOOO hungry. And instead of eating, I'm just drinking water or green tea every time I am hungry. It's a sad, sad existence. I also went for a walk on my lunch at work today, so there's 10 minutes of light cardio to add to my life. I also got some energy vitamins and weight loss vitamins, I'm taking one of each every day. And a bunch of sugar-free coffee! It's a good start!

Back on the boat. I must say, I also find Spark People quite useful in tracking what I eat. Plus it gives me a calorie total for the end of the day, and lets me know whether I am on track to make my goals or not. And it reminds me to drink enough water, etc. However, it divvies meals into b-fast, lunch, dinner, and snack... and I am trying to eat constantly throughout the day in small meals. But I do love the calorie counter. Today, I only consumed 1437 calories! Weight loss, here we come!

Weight Today 178 lbs - SLIGHTLY BETTER! WOOT!

Breakfast
Banana

All in all, not a bad day, it could have used more variety, a multi-vitamin and some exercise, but I had to work both jobs, so those things did not happen. Sadness. But I think with Spark People and the Wii Fit... I really should be able to get on track and be in swimsuit shape by swimsuit season!
