Look at Me Now


I need to lose weight. Part 3: Before I Start...

Even though, I started my plan technically this morning. I want everyone to know where I am at now...this minute. Not five minutes ago, I took some pictures I guess for your viewing pleasure. These pictures can stand on their own, and need no introduction or commentary. I am just ready for them to change.


So before I start I want to make a few things clear. 1)Although I am being public about this, this blog will not revolve around weight loss. 2) You will now be able to see my food journal on my What I Eat Page. 3) I am sharing my plan, menu and strategies to keep ME accountable and in no way should taken as gospel truth. 4) please.help.me.

Day one has been what I expected. As with anything new, I was ready. I went to the grocery last night, stocked up on new foods that I was excited to try, my exercise was built in through volleyball.


Mmm that would low fat chocolate milk, curry lentil soup with pretzels, and a buffalo chicken collard green wrap.

What was for lunch today?
How do you keep your food journal?
Tried any new foods lately?

You're so brave to post a before picture! Kudos to you Julia!!

lunch-grilled chicken and veggies (pretty boring)
does frozen yogurt (pomegranate) count as new foods?

Panko breaded chicken nuggets (Baked, not fried), steamed edamame tossed in olive oil, herbs and a little salt and a few slices of melba toast.

I actually use mapmyrun.com to keep my workout and food journal. Luckily, they have a pretty robust journal system even for their free accounts.

I actually made home made hummus for the first time this past weekend and it turned out ok. Not fantastic, but pretty decent for a first shot. Not sure if it qualifies as new since I like hummus, but it is new in the sense that it was the first time I've ever made it at home.

You are quite possible the sexiest thing I have ever seen. Look at you with your blue eyes drinkin' choco-milk THROUGH A STRAW NO LESS - still super sexy.
