Sunday...Studying, Baseball, Food, Cleaning, etc....

Sundays are always a busy catch-up day for me.  I work two jobs so I only have 1 1/2 day weekends.  I have recently gone back to school so my free time is limited.  I am still "Atkins-ing"  so I need to figure out what I can eat today.  Also need to upgrade my iPhone to the IOS 5 software today.  Be back to post more later!

Sunday

Okay...why did Sonic take their salads off the menu?  It's the only thing I can eat there right now. At least I can still get a Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper.  Yum!

It's Atkins Time!

My main focus for the past few months has been weight loss.  By October of last year, I had allowed my weight to get up to 162 lbs on a 5'2 frame.  One day I looked in the mirror and realized how awful I looked.  I have been dieting since November 1, 2010, and to date I have lost 32 pounds.  I started out by just eating healthier and cutting out all alcohol.  In February, I switched to the Atkins diet and the pounds are coming off much faster.  I seem to be plateauing right now so I'm trying to really kick things into gear.  I plan to document my meals on the blog so I can hold myself accountable for what I eat.  For lunch today I'm having organic spring mix greens with shredded Mexican blend cheese and carving board roast turkey.  I dressed it with Wish-Bone's Salad Spritzer Italian dressing.  It only has one carb per ten sprays.  Most of my meals are no-fuss...definitely nothing fancy.  I work two jobs so I don't spend a lot of time cooking.  Please pardon my photography.  I've had to order a new USB cord for my camera so I'm currently using my iPhone.  I will also work on getting better lighting.

Today's the Day

Today is the day I will officially kick off my blog.  More later....

Sunday

I have found myself neglecting this blog because I feel I have nothing to write and no interesting pictures. I need to realize that this is only a journal where I can express my thoughts and feelings so there's really no need to impress anyone at this point. I leave behind me a chain of wasted Sundays where I fall into my same bad habits and don't achieve the things I want to achieve.  That is going to change today.  More later....

Holding Myself Accountable

So I created this blog several weeks ago and I only have one post. I've been spending too much time thinking about which specific topic I should blog on. I've decided to post on various topics and see what direction it takes on its own. I'm going through a period of positive personal change so I will post on my journey of getting where I want to be in life.  I am much wiser emotionally than I was even four months ago.  My goal is to be both mentally and physically fit.  I will post on the Atkins diet, running, working out and lots of fun stuff, too.  I plan to post everyday.  Welcome to my new and improved life!

Welcome...

My name is S and I live in a small town in west central Texas. I am starting this bare-bones blog with nothing but my thoughts and an iphone for a camera.  Welcome to my little corner of the world!
