The start

Hey guys I am starting this blog to keep me more on track on my weight loss than I am now. I recently started seeing a weight loss specialist in my area. I am on a high protein pretty much no sugar, not really any carbs either. I take a protein supplement in the morning and they have great choices(shakes in vanilla, strawberry or chocolate which can also be made into puddings. Oatmeal and protein bars.) I choose one of them for breakfast my favorite is probably the vanilla shake b.c you can have it with diet root beer soda and it tastes just like a root beer float but guiltless! But right now I'm stuck on the Apple cinnamon oatmeal :) and for lunch i choose another supplement (which i usually choose the chicken noodle soup) that has to be accompanied by either 3 cups of vegetables or a salad, and for dinner 3 cups of vegetables and 6-7 ounces of protein (i.e. fish, shrimp, chicken any kind of seafood and only certain cuts of beef) Here's a little on my background, I was never really over weight growing up, but then I got sick (which i'd really rather not talk about.) but i had to start taking steroids to fight off this infection that I had, and well as we all know steroids make you gain weight. So here I am now just turned 21 years old in March and finally decided to get my life straight and try and get back to my normal size with is between 135-140 rather than just feeling depressed because my weight gain was not my fault. I figured that i'm wasting more energy being mad at the situation that I was pushed into than actually doing something about it. Since I have been seeing this doctor I have lost 16lbs so far and i started seeing him on March 25,2010 I go for my next weigh in on May 5, 2010 (and I am about 4.8lbs down from my last weigh in) my goal for these two weeks before my weigh in was 7 lbs so PLEASE keep your fingers crossed that i make that goal! Anyway...PMSING totally blows I hate dieting when its that time of the month it makes everything SOOOOOOO much harder than it should be haha but I am staying strong i recently discovered that Crystal Light makes these sugar free fruit chews which are realllllly goood and pretty much guilt free, now with the diet regimen that I'm doing I;m not supposed to have any sugar but these chews do not have sugar, anyway they have a few carbs but one or two do the job for me! I know that in order for this diet that I am on to really work I really need to do cardio, and well i dont always have time to go to the gym, I go to school full time and I work full time, so now that Spring semester is over I have 4 weeks before Summer semester starts again. So I have time to go to the gym right now but once school starts again even though I'm only going to school part time I still dont really have time, so I was thinking of either buying Slim in 6 or Turbo Jam, so if any of you have used it please let me know how they work for you. I am doing some more research before I decide to buy either one.



Well until next time :) Ill keep you posted on my weigh in's and things :)
