Christmas really took it out of me.
This last week has been ok emotionally, but I was depressed enough I gave up on writing daily.
I did have a victory in finally getting my California plates! I was the happiest woman alive when I walked out of the DMV with my new plates. I had to get a new catalytic converter for my car (almost $900 with the cost of the cat and installation), get the car smog tested and pass ($40), and pay the registration fees and fines for being late in registering ($360). $1300 and 3 days later and I was legal! Finally!
So, my mood has improved, and I'm back "on the wagon" being healthy. I was thinking today, every tiny little bit makes a difference in losing weight. Even if I lose as little a couple pounds a month, I'm still losing. So, here's where I'm at:
Weight: 368.0
Mental Level: 8. Fairly positive, but easily distracted today, so not as productive as I would have liked.
Exercise Today: 35 minutes walking. Basically cancelled out the salad I had for lunch.
Food Intake Today: I've taken to drinking a large bottle of Bolthouse Farms protein drinks, the Vanilla Chai, and Mocha Cappuccino. It's 32 ounces, and because it's got 40g of protein, I'm completely full from 7:30am when I get to work to 12:30pm when I eat lunch. It requires no thinking, which is good for me, and is tasty and seems like a treat. I had a salad for lunch, and plan on having a salad for lunch the rest of this week as well, since I bought all the salad fixin's at the store after work.
Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one."
-Henry David Thoreau
I have a lot of dreams for the future, but none of them are going to come true as long as I weigh this much. It's time I hammer and forge myself into the woman I have always wanted to be.
