Katie's Diary

You know, I think weightloss is so hard to fit in any schedule! LOL!
Just today I was thinking that I wish I had shed these pounds before I had kids. Kids just complicate things because they do stuff like eat lollipops for breakfast and have birthday parties and want all those cute snacks that decorate their plates, but are only eaten by mommies.
Your post just proves that weightloss is work- no matter what stage of life you are enjoying or how far into the process of weight loss you are.
You are an awesome inspiration! JGood luck!

okay... so i just moved back to school, which means much more structure, much more Katie time, and much more conrol over what i eat and when... Things are off to a great start, and I know that I can keep it up as long as I'm here. I'm pretty disappointed in my inability to maintain my lifestyle while i was home for the summer. My boyfriend... oh wait... i mean FIANCEE (whee... we got engaged a few weeks ago)... is 6'2" and as skinny as a rail. My greatest accomplishment has been to finally weigh less than him... although we are pretty much the same weight right now. Anyways, as I was about to say... he has such a great metabolism that he can eat anything and not put on the pounds... and he without meaning to tempts me to eat fast food and tons of carbs, and all of those good things that we had been eating together for the past five years... Away from him, i can break that cycle, but living in his apartment, on his turf, and working around his schedule (since i didn't have a job) left me without the ability to continue the lifestyle that I wanted... Or rather, i had the ability, but chose not to do it...

I have two years now of living away from him... two years without the same kind of extended visit back home that I enjoyed this summer. I hope that when we get married when I finish with grad school I will be able to be more persistent and really control both of our eating/exercising habits... but only time will tell, and in the meanwile i can only do what is best for me =)

Breakfast:
yogurt, granola, raspberries (200)

Lunch:
Turkey breast on wheat w/ lettuce and tomato (250)
Cheese and crackers (150)
Jello (10)

Snacks:
apple (100)
carrots (30)
green tea (15)
pumpkin muffin (250)
latte (120)

Dinner:
Salad (15)

Pasta (150)

Chicken and Marinara (250)


total cals: 1540
