Day fifteen—veggies and more

"Day Fifteen- Are you vegan or vegetarian? If so, has this helped you lose weight? If not, would you ever consider turning vegan or vegetarian?"

Ok, so this is kind of a weird answer; I was a vegetarian for about a year up until this spring. It was probably half so I would have an excuse not to eat when I was with people and half because blood freaks me out and I saw a thing on meat processing plants, so I was grossed out by eating something that had gone through that. However, I ended up gaining weight so that was not something effective for losing weight for me.

On another note, I decided last night that I'm going to wake up 30 minutes early every morning and do an ab workout circuit and do some stretching. Hopefully I'll be able to just start the day off calm and I'll be able to think about my ultimate goal right now, which is reaching my goal weights. That sounds lame, like the biggest thing I want right now is…weight loss. And to normal people, yes that is weird. But it is something that I've really wanted and there isn't really any other goal that I want quite as bad that doesn't involve other people (if that makes any sense..I can't control their behavior in response to getting my goal). So anyways! Today I haven't eaten anything except for a bite of a banana muffin…wasn't worth it. I may have some soup (120 for a whole can) around 2 when I get home. I don't have to work today (hooray!) so that takes away all sweet temptations. However, I am going to a dinner tonight that I can't get out of…Hopefully I'll get away with just a salad, dressing on the side.

Happy Monday!
