Things went well.. been on track since yesterday. Haven’t been getting enough water though and I’ve been feeling bloaty.. I know it is all due to period though so I’m not worried. I really need to drink more water though. During the day when I’m in class, it is hard to have enough water… because 1. I bring a bottle w/ me but it isn’t enough 2. If I bring an empty 1 liter bottle n fill it up with water.. I will have to use the bathroom all day!
So.. I try to drink more when I get home but I get lazy to keep running up and down the stairs to get more.. But I must or I won’t lose much this week. I’m really not sure how much I’ll lose because of that cheat.. but the way I figure, as long as I stay on track, I will lose, so I need to just keep going no matter how small or how big the loss.
Haven’t been feeling well enough to work out.. I know I should.. just been so busy. I have midterms tomorrow.. I need to study. I think I will work out on the treadmill tomorrow b/c my period should lighten up by then. I would like to use the elliptical but it is just a hassle to bring extra gym clothes and sneakers…
Grr.. I hate period days.. I mean, the cravings are nothing like what I used to get before I started dieting.. where I would REALLY crave sweets or salt and I would just binge! My body has been so used to not eating sweets and junk food now that I rarely, if ever, get those cravings.. I noticed that if I do, it would be out of a mental thing.. I guess mentally, I’m not used to holding back if there are foods like that at home. Wow. Actually.. wow. I just realized that! It is because my parents tried to deprive us of those foods, but when we would get junk food, I would eat it all up. I guess, mentally, I’m used to always accepting those foods.. so it is a huge thing to mentally refuse those foods, especially in the environment of my home. If I am out and I see those foods, it isn’t the same…
Hmm.. I hope this is something that will help me in the future.. because I have that habit of eating whatever I have even if I don’t really want to. Well, regardless, after I get off this diet, it really is just about eating healthy.. I will probably continue the transition protocol with some other stuff thrown in.. like.. I will definitely keep eating veggies n chicken, and sometimes brown rice. Carbs are my downfall, so we shall see how I deal with it all..

ohh I wore my skinny jeans today =] - bloatiness and all, I still looked a loot slimmer today with everything I wore. Everything fit me great.. and it made me look slimmer. I just.. love my dark-wash skinny jeans =] The good thing about them is that they are stretchy so.. I can still wear em 10 lbs from now.. Though.. I AM at a size 11.. I want to get to an 8.. I wonder how much weight loss that would entail? It feels like 20 lbs lost wouldn’t be a lot in terms of size.. but then again as you get smaller the sizes drop more w/ each pound. Hmm.. I mean.. I was a 13/14 about 30 lbs from now… so It is a bit confusing. My tops were a large-XL.. n now I’m a medium - large depending on the style and the top.. I’m kinda.. inbetween.
It has been kinda tough finding stuff to wear, most of my clothes are.. well not great for the summer, and are darker colors.. also.. my style changed during the year and I’m not a fan of screen tee’s anymore unless it is longer n has a different neckline. So.. I have a lot of those that I could wear.. but I don’t want to. It is frustrating.. I’m trying to wear brighter colors but I don’t have anything really.. ugh. Usually.. during the summer, I will wear the floral tops n dressy stuff whenever I go out n the tee’s at home.. but it is too much to wear the floral tops to class.. so it is kinda annoying. That is another reason why I just want to lose the rest of this weight already.. so I can go shopping again!  Meh, whatever, I need to just work at it and find a happy medium to my clothes.
I have always loved my proportions and they are great to see right now but I can’t wait to see them 20 lbs less extraneous fat! =D
