Shut Up and Drive

Update: 215.4lbs

Phew... I honestly thought that it would be much worse than that. I was prepared for a weight up to 220. So I am a little happy about this, I've seemed to keep it moderately stable over the last two months, but it's not a weight I want to stay at. 205 felt so much better.

So I was thinking about why I want to lose weight, figuring I would renew my dedication to the 'journey' and so far have come up with:
So I can...
- fit back comfortably in the clothes I bought when I was just a mere 10lbs thinner
- start to see my muscles again (after I get them back) underneath the fat
- stop displacing 40L of water in the bathtub after I've filled it up for a bath
- look at an apple and a bowl of ice cream and pick the better choice
- start to cook again! I miss finding recipes and attempting to recreate them

Obviously the 'to look and feel better' will perpetually be on the list, so I think it does not need to be rewritten.

As for the cooking issue I have been wasting tons of food because I buy the fruits and vegetables (too many of them) with only the smallest of intentions of using them up. I think I try to guilt myself into eating them but it never ever works because then I just start bypassing the fridge door and go right for the freezer and no good ever comes from that. I've also started eating Kraft Dinner and hot dogs lately. I don't even like Kraft Dinner, but for some reason I just got a craving and it happens to be the bloody easiest thing to make. My blood pressure must be through the roof this past month from all the salt I've ingested from processed crap. I've also been skipping breakfast for extra minutes of sleep. Not good. So I have not been fibre's friend lately - back to the yogurt/bran/fruit train.

Here's to a productive day...
