Week 7- Weight Loss Update

This week I lost .5 lbs.  Although it's not as much as I would have liked...It's still a step in the right direction.  The scale keeps going down week after week.  I just need to keep doing what I'm doing and it will add up and I'll be at my goal weight in no time.

Day 48- Hot Pocket Support Group Needed

Only comedian Jim Gaffigan can understand my recent Hot Pocket obsession.  I find myself craving them and have at least 1 a day.  Until today, when 2 lovely hot pockets hit my lips.  At least they were of the lean variety.  Help! I need a support group.  My name is Rachel and I'm a Hot pocket-aholic.

Day 46: Skunk...Appetite Suppressant?

There is nothing like the smell of skunks spraying your house to help you lose your appetite.  That's what happened to us today...on Tuesday they will be humanly relocated to a land far far away.  I wish them well but hope to never lay eyes on them again. Stinkers!

Day 45- Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day.  There were no chocolate covered treats or conversation hearts for this dieting girl.  But in the spirit of the day of love I did try to include the color red in all my food pics today. Enjoy and may love find you happy and healthy.

Day 30- All Day Breakfast

I was craving breakfast foods today.  First I had a flatbread breakfast sandwich, lunch was sausage, then oatmeal, and a granola bar.  I guess breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Somedays it's the only meal of the day.

Day 15- Week 2 Weight Loss Update

This week I lost 2.5 lbs.  That's a total of 7.5 lbs in 2 weeks.  I'm getting pretty comfortable with my 1200 calorie intake. Now I need to start working on drinking more water.  That's going to be my goal for this coming week.  At least 1 bottle of water a day. This may seem easy to some but I am a self proclaimed Diet Soda addict.

Day 13- Snack Happy

Today ended in a low calorie snack combo of ginger snaps, chewy granola bar, and white chocolate pretzels.  It's a fun surprise when you end up with extra calories occasionally and can blow them on sweets.  Definitely not something you should do everyday but every now and then is fun.

Day 6- Granola to the Rescue

Today was very busy.  So I had to skip lunch and make due with just a pack of granola.

Day 2- Cupcakes of the Earth Beware!

 My sweet tooth is screaming...I managed to calm it down with a granola bar and a pastry crisp for snacks. Although,  I think if I see someone with a cupcake I may eat their arm off trying to get to it.  Ugh kinda gross.  But the heart wants what the heart wants.
