Elliot's Journey

Hey guys. After trying many different diets in the past, I lost weight but just gained it back. The problem wasn't the diet, it was my motivation and willpower. Just graduating from high school last week, I am now in my summer. No longer am I distracted by my friends at the lunch table...although I know there will be new distractions. I want to have a steady weight loss and want to come out of the summer being able to look at myself and see a difference. If I can get to this point, I know I can go all the way.

My motivation this time around is simply college. A new fresh start, and a chance to change the way I look before starting college....a big motivation is all the new girls at my college :p.
I also will use this journal as motivation. I will try to post my daily routine everyday here, which will hopefully allow me to notice what mistakes I am making and also keeping myself away from eating the wrong stuff since I will have to post it on here.

Well, this is where my journey begins. My first day entry will come in tomorrow.

Hi Elliot! I love that name!

Looking forward to seeing your progress. The great thing about summer holidays is that you have all that time to plan out your exercise and eating!
 
So I haven't been on the computer much, so here is my first 2 days:

Monday:
Breakfast: Bowl of Bran Flakes (no milk)
Lunch: Salisbury Steak and Mac N Cheese Lean Cuisine (I like these things :D)
Dinner: We had a barbeque, so I ate one hamburger patty with a salade consisting of Lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and tuna, in a vinagarette dressing.

Calories ~1200

Tuesday: Dissapointing day :(
Breakfast: Honey bunches of oats (no milk)
Lunch: BAD DECISION! I went out with some friends and they got me to go to Del Taco. Had like 2 burritos and a quesadilla AND a coke.
Dinner: Tuna Sandwich with green salad

Calories ~I don't want to know

So in conclusion to my first 2 days, I found my 1st day to be easy as I wasn't dreadfully hungry throughout the day. Whenever I got hungry I got some water. I obviously just have to stay away from going out to eat at del taco and stuff. I am going to implement some aerobics starting today.

I know I can do this!
