Take 2

I didn't want to start over but maybe that will be better. It's the first of the month and just over three months until my birthday. Since the goal was a 90 day challenge. I don't know if my nonefforts over the past few days have really set me back. I originally got the idea of a 90 day challenge because that's the first quarter of Extreme Weightloss. The goal is to take a year to change your life. But in that first 90 days the people on the show really start the mental transformation and they realize that they are the only one preventing them from being  who they really want to become. Not to mention they drop like 80, 90, 130 lbs! Well, granted they started out at 300+ and even 400+ pounds, but still that's freakin' amazing! I don't know how many pounds I need to lose because I left my scale in the move, but I'm sure I need to lose at least 50lbs if I'm being honest. So, I could definitely use 90 day turnaround. If I could even lose 40 that would be great. And I don't think that's too far fetched that is about 3 lbs a week. And when you're overweight the first bit of weight loss comes the easiest....If you just stick to it. I wish there was some prize I could get for meeting a certain goal like on the show. But, seeing as how I'm trying to build a savings, I'm sure that wouldn't be wise for me to splurge so early on..

...Hmm...

Maybe I just need a plan. Maybe that's the reason I was so successful I specifically described what counted as fast food and was specifically off limits. I don't want to be 100% paleo. I've done it for 30 days and it's not bad but I don't want to feel like I'm dieting. I really do want to come to something that I can make a lifestyle...thingy.

So, to start...I think I need to give up fast food for the rest of the year. Five months is a lot, but the only time it will be a problem is on roadtrips. But I think it will help me not to overeat snacks on the trips as well. Which brings me to the next point.

No chips. I just love the kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips. Which are bad on all fronts, fried potatoes with loads of sodium and vinegar eating your insides out....but oh so delicious. Til the end of the year, no more of that.

Any and all "junk" food must be either from the natural food section or made at home. And they can be eaten no more than twice a week. And not two whole days just two instances.

Okay I have been trying to write this post for hours now. What else do I need?

Eating out....I can eat out at a restaurant no more than once a week. (For me that is very little) I still have to try to order something that is healthy and drink water.

Limit pizza to no more than once a month.

Overall, I will try to stick mostly to paleo and making my my own meals...And no more cereal. I love it too much and can not stick to a single serving.

I think that should do it. Wish me luck.
