17 lbs by June 2nd

Damnit I just typed a long post and it got erased some how. What is the "Saving" function for if it dont even work? Lol That just ruined my day. Sike.

I've realized anytime i set a plan for myself i almost never stick to it. And i noticed a pattern, I tend to eat a lot in the evenings and at night, and its because I'm stuck in the house. I need to get out more and find a way to break this habbit.

Here are my goals for now until June 2nd:

No eating after 7:30 pm
Restrict as much as possible but still find foods that are filling
Try not to eat out of boredom.
Dont feel like I have to eat something just because its there.
Get a lot more exercise (try to walk around the track at least 1 1/2 mile (6 laps) at night or in the evening.
Get out of the house as much as possible (not spend as much time sitting on the couch on the computer)
FIND A JOB



I did a lot of calculations and figured out that i will be paying the weight loss clinic $190 a month.. (damn that is really a lot) So i need to find a job, or at least a steady income so that I am able to afford. it. The first visit is $110 and the 2 week follow up is $80. thats $190 per month. I hope that I lose as much on my own so that I dont have to rely on the clinic or the phentermine. If i do, it will get really pricey. So if I go for two months then take a break, it'll cost $380. I figured I would only take the meds for 2 months.. then take a break.. maybe a 3-4 week break... If i am still losing on my own then I will stay off the meds. If i start falling back into my old habits then I will get back on the meds after a month or so. Eventually i want to stop paying the clinic and start paying the gym. Thats my ultimate goal. I think when i reach 199 lbs i will stop going to the clinic. (If i can afford to go that long)


Food:
apple & cinnamon oatmeal - 110 cals
rice cake - 50 cals
smart ones - 440 cals

total: 600 cals

update: UGH! these cravings are really annoying me. I swear it feels like im hungry every 1-2 hours. Im trying to ignore these cravings until dinner (approx 6 pm) i think i'll chew a piece of gum or something. Im going to try to do some type of cardio today.
