Two Weeks

Hey all!!

As of tonight, I have successfully finished 2 weeks of my modified Atkins diet.  I lost just about 13 pounds! I kept it under or close to 500 cals a day, with no more than 20 net carbs. It worked really well. I felt faint at some points in time, but I would defiantly recommend it to all of you out there trying to shed those extra few pounds!

Today is going well so far. I hope it stays that way. Yesterday I kept thinking about binging. It was a huge problem. So I was snacking throughout the day, more than I would have like to, but my intake still wasn’t that high. I weighed in today at 148.5 so I lost another pound. My friend Heather is in town from college for thanksgiving break so hopefully I get so see her in the next few days.

Next week I only work two days, which will be nice. And I might not even have to work one of them. I asked off for Thursday (thanksgiving), Friday, and Saturday and said I’m going to be out of town. This is partially true, if I end up going with Hannah to her family’s thanksgiving in Arnold. We’ll see though.

Speaking of work. Long story short there’s this really old guy who keeps creeping on me at work. He does weird stuff, for example he tried to set me up with a 30 year old that was in line next to me. He told him that he should get my number and take me on a date because if he was that young, he would do that. I’m literally so scared of him now that I start to shake when he comes in. so I have to go in the back and try not to hyperventilate. I’m buying pepper spray with Hannah this weekend. If he continues to make me uncomfortable I’m going to ask the store owner to forbid him from coming in anymore. I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable at work. I shouldn’t be scared.

Also, today between 4 and 8 we sold over 250 sandwiches. Just me and one other guy. It was so busy that it wasn’t even funny. We got out like 45 minutes later than we usually do and I was in such a bad mood! I called Mike and had him cheer me up while I was cleaning and stocking the lobby. He told me about this funny dream he had just had. (I woke him up by calling him, but thankfully he answered!) I’m about to Skype with him now. We’ve been Skyping a lot lately. I kinda like it.. it’s keeping me home and out of the party scene. He must think I’m a loser for staying home talking to him on Friday and Saturday nights though. Oh well. He loves me.

I realized today thank I’m 12.5 pounds away from what my normal goal weight used to be. Before I was obsessed with all of this nonsense. I don’t think I would be happy with my body at 135. I mean I wasn’t when I was there like 6 months ago. So I doubt I will be now.

Yesterday my friend Stephanie, whom I haven’t spoken to in a very long time, came to my house and installed Premiere Pro (an amazing video editing software) on my laptop. She pretty much saved my F in multimedia now, since I haven’t been to the class in oh… about 3 weeks haha. But now I can go to school, get my assignments, and do them at home. And since I’ll have a pretty slow thanksgiving break, I will have a lot of time to do so.

I need to start taking vitamins again. I’m gonna go compile a bunch and sort them into one of those containers that says SMTWTFS on it for all the days. I’ll leave it on my headboard so I don’t forget to take them!

Daddy Dearest is going shopping right now. This is what I asked for: Lettuce, Broccoli, Gum, tea, more tea, and more Gum. Today he complimented me on how healthy I’ve been eating lately. Thanks Daddy Dearest, it’s good to know you think starving myself is healthy. Haha whatevs, as long as he sees me eating every once in a while, he won’t think anything’s out of the ordinary.

I’ve been chewing and spitting a lot lately. I did three cookies today. Skittles, Reese’s, and M&Ms yesterday. A Twix bar the day before I think. I’ve just been craving sweets like crazy I guess. Love the taste, not the cals, fat, or carb content.
