Slowly, but surely.

I have news.  The news is that I’m steadily loosing weight. Not much. About one or two pounds a week.  I haven’t really changed much about my exercise situation (which means my total lack of it), but I HAVE made changes in my diet and I guess they’re making a difference. 

I’m drinking LOTS of water every [...]

Why do I feel like ordering a pizza?

So far tonight I have:
-Made a soup out of all the vegetables and stock in the fridge (and I had a bowl, it’s delicious!) which has made me feel incredibly thrifty and homemakery.
-FINALLY dyed my hair (bye-bye grey).
-Did an at home de-fuzzing. (Not as good as paying for a professional, but I’m on a budget.)
-Taken [...]

Food Diary: Day 4

Breakfast: Banana and a black coffee with a little honey in it.

Food Diary: Day 3

Lunch: My mom met me for lunch, so we went to a greasy spoon-type place and I had a small poutine and a diet 7-up.  Felt kinda gross afterwards.
