Losing Weight

I so suck at this. I've been trying (sorta-there's my problem...only sorta trying) to lose weight for a couple months now. I keep fluctuating on my weight. I'm not able to keep it down. I've tried just watching what I eat with no guidelines. I exercised for about a month. I'm just having trouble sticking with it. My plan (new one today) is to head to the library on my lunch hour and check out a couple books on nutrition. Hopefully I can find some meal plans/recipes that will give me guidelines for healthy eating. I've decided that that is the only way I'm going to be able to stay on track.

My first start today was to lose the peanut butter M&M's on my desk. I didn't eat the first one of them today. (Thanks, GMS for the motivational questions). I've also had my first 16 oz glass of water today. I read somewhere to drink water when you're hungry and wait 20 minutes. If you're still hungry, then eat something. I'm still hungry, but since it's so close to lunch time, I'm going to wait. My lunch isn't the greatest today. I've got a ham and turkey sandwich on honey wheat bread and sour cream and onion chips. I should have brought a peach with me instead of the chips. It's time to start rethinking my eating habits. Tonight's supper is supposed to be chicken, but as of 7:00 this morning, it was frozen. I completely forgot to take it out of the freezer last night. We'll probably eat it tomorrow night.

Here's to getting info about eating healthy!
