Changing my Life through Accu-weight Loss

I weighed myself this morning.. I went down to 172! Yay. =] 8 lbs in 9 days, with my period AND a cheat day. That’s pretty damn good. I’m beginning to look thinner already. Woot.

I’m so tired. I woke up early because I’m going to Time Square..
My friend just called and told me she can’t go til after 3:30.. So I guess I woke up and showered early for nothing! It’s okay though, I tried to get to sleep earlier last night but I couldn’t fall asleep til like 3:30, or 4!! So.. waking up early today is going to help me get to bed earlier each night. I think I’m going to try to get up by 9 am everyday whether I have stuff to do or not. At least I won’t feel like I wasted a chunk of the day, especially in the summer.
Anyway.. I’m aiming to lose another 5 lbs this week.. so hopefully by June 3 I’ll be down to 168.. then I’m hoping to lose another 5.. to 163/162 hopefully. If I keep it up after that.. I SHOULD be down around 148 by July 4! That would be amazing.. b/c.. 148 is the thinnest I got last time, and when I’m in my 150’s, I start wearing a size medium on top and a snug 11 on the bottom.. and people don’t regard me as “fat” and I don’t feel fat.. I feel a little chubby but that is when I start to feel comfortable with my body overall. Also my face gets way thinner around then.

So I got back from NYC.. SO exhausted.. I’m pretty sure we walked at least 2 miles.. probably 2.5.. which is what I do on my treadmill but this is a lot more satisfying of course! except I had on flats.. so my feet are aching but hey it was worth it. I met up with Svetlana on 14th street.. we took a subway there.. then we walked around Union Square and some other parts… and went to Joe’s. I had an iced coffee with some whole milk (today is my milk day) and a bunch of splenda. We spent like half an hour there just relaxing and talking.. then we walked around a bit more.. and ambitiously decided to walk back to 42nd street… 28 blocks. Went into H&m.. Svetlana bought a couple items for Cancun.. I didn’t really like anything there.. I noticed that the quality of the fabrics in the trendy summer clothes were.. TERRIBLE. They would last maybe a year or so before you could tell its old. I’m very picky and my mother made clothes since she was 14, and she used to own a clothing factory.. so I’m pretty experienced in knowing how much it costs to make what they make, and the quality. Well.. it was terrible, the quality was atrocious — each summer top should be soldfor $5-7 in my opinion, that’s how cheap it was, but they charge like $14-$18. I mean, come on!

Oh yeah, Food-wise.. MAN is it tempting to buy pizza or ice cream or any food really when you are in NYC. Buuut, i resisted, even in the coffee shop, the pastries looked so good. Another good thing is how pricey things were lol so that deterred me even more. Also, when we were in the Port Authority, Rocio was hungry b/c she didn’t eat.. so she went into.. Au borin, or.. something..  idk lol but there is a lot of food there, especially pastries and bagels, sandwiches.. now THAT was tempting. She bought a cheese danish and she felt bad and offered me a tiny piece.. But I find in this diet that when you have little cheats here and there, it makes it VERY hard mentally b/c that taste stays with you and you crave more. You start to think, well a little won’t hurt.. but this isn’t a ketotic diet..  those really affect you..
Anyway, the urge and temptation to eat was certainly not enough, and I didn’t feel THAT deprived.. after you stay on this diet and followthe foods exactly.. your cravings for sweets subside.. and well I LOVE sweets. But losing weight is more important and I didn’t feel that huge of a craving.
On another note..

Well I need a job, I applied to a few places and I’m waiting on these two banks to call me back.. I’m going to call them up to let them know I submitted a resume online.. that’s what I had to do in Walgreens to be noticed. I want a jooob.. so i can have something to do and make money.. and be able to have a shopping spree in August when I’m done losing weight and I’m on transition mode (assuming I follow everything).
Anyway, I’m beat, it was a great day, we’re going back again sometime to go to the Met, I actually have never been there and it’s a shame because I live 15 minutes away from Time Square!
I’m going to unwind and then call the boyfriend =]
