**Another goal of mine that I'll be working on during this journey is training myself to do a running marathon. I want to be able to participate in a race and not be embarssed for having to stop only minutes after the horn was buzzed.
I've been overweight my whole life, and I'm not going to allow myself to reach the terrible 200lbs mark. So I'm changing my life, and to make it easier I've decided to blog about it on my favorite website, and to give myself the greatest goal reaching gift possible. My tattoo! Follow along with me as I make my journey to living a healty life. :)

Update august 18th 2010
So I seem to either be losing nothing or a pound or less.
It isn’t good.
But I’m not doing much, I’m eating way less but I’m not doing any exercise.
I just have so much trouble getting motivation to get up and do it. And I’ll make an excuse not to do it or what not.
Anyway, I might wake up a hald hour earlier tomorrow so I can do a little biking before getting ready. I’m going down town so I’ll be doing a lot of walking.
Good good!
I’ve found that using smaller sized plates helps me.
Try it!
Dinner: Minced meat with mustard sauce.
This photo has mushroom sauce instead, but I needed a photo for it.
It’s actually one of my favorite meals so I thought I’d share it with you!
Ingredients:
Mustard
Minced meat
Milk
Butter/spray to unstick pan
Instructions:
1. Mold the mince meat the way you would if you were cooking a hamburger
2. Heat up the stove to a medium temperature
3. Spray pan or put a bit of butter so it doesn’t stick.
4. Put your minced meat pattie(s) on the stove
(You have to be quite fast while doing the next step)
5. Pour milk into a regular sized bowl.
6. Put mustard in the bowl of milk and stir it until it’s almost the same color as mustard should be.
7. When your minced meat patties are half way cooked, pour the mustard sauce onto the pan and continue cooking as usual.
8. Put hamburger meat on a plate and pour as much sauce as you’d like. :)
Yet again, I haven’t been posting pictures of food. This time it wasn’t my fault. I lost my USB cord and at first it wasn’t a big deal because I have 3943 of them, but NONE OF THEM WORKED. I finally found a working one today. Why none of them worked is beyond me.
Anyway, breakfast sandwich before work. I haven’t had one in a few weeks and decided it was time.
1 ww english muffin (130)
1 egg (70)
50g of tomato (9)
1.5tsp of margarine (53)
1 slice of bacon (30)
10g of goat cheese (20)
Lettuce
312 calories. Always good!
Yummy! Minus the tomatoes. :/
Get Healthy: 5 things you can drink to lose weight
- Water
You’ll burn an extra 200 calories a day by drinking eight glasses of ice cold water because your body has to burn calories (or fat) in order to heat the ice cold water back up to your body temperature. The amount of calories you burn (and the weight you lose) will rack up over time as…

Weigh-in-Wednesday
Okay okay, so I know it’s technically Thursday but I haven’t got to bed yet so it’s still Wednesday to me.
I weighed myself this afternoon [since that’s the time I woke up] and I hadn’t lost anything. Nothing of a surprise since this week I have done nothing to try to be healthy and lose any weight.
But I’ve come up with a list of foods for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and I’m going to buy everything I need tomorrow so I should be set for the rest of the week. I’ve even made a plan for a few lunch ideas once school starts next month.
And I’ve moved the bike into my bedroom so it’s right there, I don’t need to do it in front of anyone and I can watch a movie on my lap top while biking.
I’ll post what I ate today in my next post.
