So Far So GOOD!

I started the South Beach Diets' Phase 1 today.  Almost one day down!...i feel really motivated to do well.  Oh i did a little research and started taking st.johns wort today, hopefully by end of week i can tell if it has had an affect at all.
So heres my menu for today:
 
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 slice canadian bacon, 8oz low sod v8
 
Snack: part skim string cheese, 100cal almonds
 
Lunch: medditteranean salmon salad from panera bread (no bread or orange wedges)
 
Snack: celery with 2T nat peanut butter
 
Dinner: I got home a little later than planned so instead of cooking and eating after 8pm ive chosen to just have 2 scoops of protein powder with ice and water to make a smoothie in my blender...cookies and cream flavor! YUM!!
 
Ive decided that im not going to pressure myself about the gym or working out.  I took 5000 steps at work alone today so im just going to shoot to get that to 10,000...and go from there. 
Last time around i didnt start gymming until the first 30 lbs was off.  That worked before, a little motivaion on the scale at home, to get my big butt to the gym.  Thats the plan :)
I have lunch all packed for tomorrow and im super-excited for the week to get on so i can start to feel LIGHTER!!!
Oh, and thanks to those who responded to my questions, great tips.
I love blogging on here, and i will no matter if i get 10 comments or none.  I need to be held accountable so thats what im gunna do!!
The Pacific is on tonight...its on HBO for those of you who havent heard of it.  Its a new drama series about WW2.  Im a history buff...so excited to sit down and chill out to that. 
Onward and Downward Ladies!!

saturday

Thanks for the words of support ladies.  Im doing a little better today.  Im actually really excited to be starting fresh tomorrow.  I have a peapod.com delivery scheduled (groceries delivered to your door) so that i could wisely choose things and not cheat in the "bad aisles" in the store.  Its also great because it helps save money....you see all the prices compared right there. 
Anywho...today im off from work waiting for that delivery, then off to get a mani/pedi. YES!!  my fav!! then a day full of running around doing errands.
Ok im off...blog again later!

new start on sunday

 
Well life through me a curveball and im now single.  After 3 years of being with my boyfriend, im now alone for the first time.  Ive always gone from relationship to relationship.  Maybe itll be a good thing that i get some time to myself, to only focus on me.
Ive been having a hard time in general, obviously, with my weight...but also with feeling down. For almost a year now.  I truly think i am depressed but i do not have health insurance at the moment and trying to be more natural anyways, does anyone out there know of any natural herbal type things...i could take to help?  Ive heard of st johns wort...or vitamin d.... no idea. I need some help with this.
Anywho I have a plan to start fresh on sunday- i will be following the south beach diet phase 1 very strictly. i had some slips with the breakup and emotionally ate a lot. thats the LAASTTT thing that i need to be doing.  SO- rigid it is.  I need it.
Wish me luck.....
:)

still no workout

so i got a bag all packed to go to the gym after work...and was all set to go.  Then comes that last hour of work...and i start to second guess myself....should i go?  What else do i need to be doing instead of going ot the gym?  UGH i chickened out.
I dont know what my problem is.  I havent decided if im going to try again tomorrow or just work out at home.
Im having such guilt about not going but i guess i need to master my eating habits as well and maybe i should start with that.  I dont know.
Feelign kind of down.
Blah!

First day of blogging

ive been here before, blogged, done the whole weight loss dance, but for some reason...it hasnt stuck.
Right now, i weigh 255lbs....thats too much!  Why am i here?  I need to change my life, one breath, one step, one bite at a time.
I must stop using food as my crutch and start using it as my life source.  Im going to be eating healthy...a variation of the south beach diet...under 1600 calories a day.
I also will be wearing a bodybugg.   I LOVE THIS THING!! It is a miracle..i can actually see my progress or lack of progress in black and white.  Im really hoping itll  help me.
My biggest challenge at the moment is the gym. Or working out in any capacity.  I cant seem to get up the motivation.  I think a lot of it is my self esteem.   I have a real phobia of going into a gym or any large crowd for that matter.  I never used to be this way.  Ive tried to workout at home, and thats a challenge too....because theres no one to make me do it.  UGH
Ladies...im looking for some help, some motivation and cheering.....  and hopefully i can  do the same for you.  So if you can relate to my little post at all, send me a comment.  I could use the support :)
 
Blog again later!!
