day 1

So…probably not best to start the day of a cook-out. I ate all junk and I feel pretty icky. I can barely move from my first day of weight-lifting (yesterday) so I’m walking around a bit like Frankenstein’s monster.

I guess a little self-introduction is in order. i’m a college student, just started my senior year. I started college at 5′4” and a 115 lbs–thin and very young looking. I’ve gotten a bit older and no longer look 12, but i’ve also put on quite a bit of weight. this June, I hit 160 lbs. I felt gross, couldn’t fit in my clothes, anything…it was pretty awful. Over a period of five weeks i changed my diet and ate only healthy food, no soda, and smaller portions (though by no means starving myself–i still ate tons). I lost 20 lbs with no change really in the amount of food or exercise–just types of food. I’m now about 141 lbs, and my goal is 120. I don’t think I should go back to 115–I’m older now and I just don’t see it as healthy. But i would love to get to 120 again!

i really hope to use this site for motivation and support–if I have to confess what I eat every day then perhaps I’ll eat less junk!

Wish me luck!
