And I don't plan on stopping this. This is for my benefit 'cause Lord knows no one is actually reading this. But it's okay because I want to lose weight for myself. I know it seems stupid to pose a statement like that: who else would I be losing the weight for after all? But you know what? I want to look good. And dammit, if it takes me the next year, I will lose this fucking weight.
Today's eating didn't go as usual, if only because today itself wasn't usual. I've been sick for a few days, so everything has been thrown off. Not to mention this week in itself has just been weird. And people smell funny. But I digress.
I won't stop til I get what I want. If my friend can do it, then so can I. And right now, I really need to take a shower. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO! *cue superhero music*

Day 7
Alrighty, back on track. Got a schedule and my bro is doing this alongside me too. Determination, let's do this! *inspirational music*
Today's food is as follows:
Breakfast:
1 cup coffee with creamer
1 1/4 cups Honey Bunches of Oats
Yoplait Light Yogurt
Lunch:
Sandwich from Italia Deli (not too much bread but the Italian dressing may have compensated for that)
Dinner:
Trader Joe's Mandarin Chicken 1 breast
Trader Joe's Spanikopita (3 pieces = 170 calories)
Snacks:
Fiber One Bar
1 100 calorie cookie pack
1 small apple
1 piece Mochi
Still need more on the snack front. While some of the snacks have more sugar or calories than the other, I think it's okay because I have it during the day when I need that sugar rush. I have snacks that are better later more towards the evening. I've been finding myself hungrier lately, but I think that might have to do with an upcoming monthly visit (ahem). But I'm working really hard on not letting that affect me. I was 249.6 this morning and I will do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't hop back up. I'll really know I'm getting somewhere once I hit 240. By the time I hit 230, I'm gonna be on a roll. Won't stop til at least 200. Alright people, we're getting somewhere. Hopefully more exciting news tomorrow.

Day...6?
My apologies, imaginary readers, for not posting yesterday. I was out late with a friend being a wild and crazy kid (aka talking and watching How I Met Your Mother. Awesome show + awesome friend = goooooooood night).
Anyway, the weekend is always a weird eating time for me because I don't have a set schedule. So I'll eat like half healthy and half crap and my weight will be like, "Wtf?" So yeah, yesterday, I was bad when it came to eating at night, but I controlled myself so "bad" is a vague definition (frozen yogurt was involved...so was sushi. But not too much sushi).
I woke up this morning and I was at 250. Granted, that may be because I woke up late (as opposed to the rest of the week: I usually wake up somewhere between 8-9. Yeah, I know, poor me *sarcasm*) and therefore hadn't eaten in like 14 hours. But yeah, I will not stop until I lose the weight I want to drop. I will do this. I will sleep with my hot Krav Maga instructors! Or something else less revealing!
So, because today was weird (Sundays are especially weird; Saturdays usually have a little more schedule to them), there were seemingly more snacks than usual, but nothing too much or out of proportion. Here's today's menu:
Breakfast:
1 cup coffee with creamer
1 1/4 cup Honey Bunches of Oats
Yoplait Light Yogurt
Lunch:
2 eggs
1 small piece of wheat bread, toasted
Dinner:
1 1/4 cup Trader Joe's Teriyaki Chicken (fortunately, I get to control how much teriyaki goes on the chicken, so nothing was out of control)
1 cup Trader Joe's Jasmine Rice (which as it turns out, has some calories but a shitload of carbs! I controlled how much I ate and it still might bite me in the ass. I guess we'll see)
Snacks:
1 cup 100 calorie pudding
Fiber One Bar
1 100 calorie cookie pack
1 cup grapes
1 piece of Mochi
I did some movement today (meaning sit-ups, thigh workouts, but nothing to be considered actual working out) but mostly lazed. I need to stop lazing so much; I know it slows down the losing weight process/is bad for your heart. I have started taking fish oil pills again which I know are supposed to be good for you. Altogether, I need to find some way to control the eating on the weekends, as well as find a way to exercise when I'm not at Krav. Plus, next weekend I'm going to Knotts Scary Farm- the only food they sell can only be legally called crap. I may need to bring some healthy snacks with me (if I can sneak it in).
Working hard for the money (or something like that). My brother wants to lose weight too, so hopefully we'll be able to do this together. I won't stop til I lose this weight. I'm sick of looking at my fat self in the mirror. I know I can do this; I just have to push myself. Alright, ready? Go Team Mojo!

Day 3
250.8 this morning. Can I count that as a pound lost? I guess we'll see.
Today was pretty normal on the food front with the exception of dinner. I had a salad from Woodranch tonight and while I did the best I could while eating it (not too much dressing, avoiding cheese clusters, not eating all of the fried onions on top), I probably set myself back tonight. I was trying to go for "not necessarily sticking to diet tonight but doing my best to not go overboard" idea. I'll probably have gained weight in the morning. I guess I just need to be really good tomorrow. I'm not going to slide back. So many times I have said I will lose weight and I haven't. But I'm not going to flake this time. I'm going to lose the weight and then sleep with my hot Krav Maga instructor!
...or something less embarrassing to that effect.
Y'know, that would be a bad thing to publish if anyone actually ever read this. And if you stumble upon this, well, enjoy!
Alright, the menu for today:
Breakfast:
2 cups coffee with creamer (one was during the middle of the day when I forgot one of my snacks)
1 1/4 cup Honey Bunches of Oats
Yoplait Light Yogurt
Lunch:
Large salad with low-fat vinagrette dressing, cucumbers, and tomatos
Open-face roast beef sandwich with avocado
Dinner:
Woodranch Seared Prime Steak Salad (super delicious and more than likely super caloric)
Snacks:
Fiber One Bar
1 100 calorie pack of Cheezits
1 100 calorie pudding
I'm forever trying to find the balance between sticking to my diet and being naughty occasionally. I really tried hard tonight to be good (yes, I did). But, if I screwed up, then I'll make up for it by being extra good tomorrow. I'm really serious about losing weight.
I'll probably gain weight tomorrow because of the salad and the fact that I didn't go to Krav tonight. I'm going tomorrow morning, so hopefully I won't be huffing and puffing as the one fat kid in that class.
I have to stop referring to myself as a fat kid. I've joked about it for so long that I think it's just carved into my subconscious. No longer. I will not be a fat kid. I will fucking lose this weight!
*insert encouragement here*
(my sarcasm warms my heart)

Day 2 methinks
I lose track of the days easily. It's amazing how time slips away in the blink of an eye.
Do you like how I managed to fit two cliches into one sentence? That's talent.
251 today. Making progress.
I probably won't lose much in the way of anything when I check the scale tomorrow morning. Your body isn't supposed to lose more than three pounds a week (yes, this has been argued time and time again: it's only one pound a week, between one and three, enough! I would much rather lose three a week. Hell, I would rather lose a pound a day. But the human body/the universe don't work like that. Am I rambling? I'm rambling). But I was good today. I've been really keeping at being as good as humanly possible. I've been eating the same basic foods each day, but as long as it works, then I'll keep doing it. Plus, I'm a creature of habit, so it works for me. I eat the same thing til I get bored. And I'm not allowed to get bored until I lose 51 more pounds. Gooooooo me!
Today's menu basically looks like yesterday's with slight changes:
Breakfast:
1 cup coffee with creamer
1 1/4 cup Honey Bunches of Oats
Yoplait Light Yogurt
Lunch:
Open-faced roast beef sandwich with 1/4 avocado
Large salad with vinagrette dressing (Mom's homemade low-fat one, so I'm good on that front)
(no fruit today. The grapes were too sour <- that's kind of funny in a literary nerd way)
Dinner:
1/2 cooked spinach
1 cup whole wheat pasta
5 scallops (if anyone knows the fat content of scallops, please let me know)
Snacks:
Fiber One Bar
1/2 cup almonds
1 cup low-fat pudding
Hopefully I didn't end my streak with the pasta. I really tried to limit my serving and I needed some carbohydrate with my dinner. I ended up going to Krav Maga again tonight. I usually only go about three times a week, but I need to step up my game/needed to blow off some steam tonight. I'll definitely rest up tomorrow so I can go again Friday morning. Some of those people are ridiculously hardcore; they'll have finished up in their class and will come join mine. These classes seriously kick your butt. I highly recommend them for anyone trying to lose weight or learn self-defense or some intricate combination of the two.
Anyway, I'll be doing the same general thing tomorrow. I'm getting into a good flow, I don't want to screw that up. Go Team Mojo (ooh, let's make shirts with that!)!

First Official Day
I feel like there should be trumpets playing in the background. Hear ye, hear ye: Mojo hath decided that she want-ith to not be a fat ass...ith!
I like making new words.
Anyhoo, weighed myself this morning and it said 252. I figured that would really be my starting weight. I personally like to weigh myself in the morning because I feel like I get a more accurate read of my weight and then I know the general gist of what I can eat that day.
Like I said, I'm not great at the whole balancing out food thing. Sure, I can exercise, but my schedule is hectic (whose isn't? Between work, school, Krav Maga, and having a social life, I keep busy) so I sometimes go a long time without eating. As a result, I binge on the first thing I can grab. So, I made the move of keeping snacks with me all throughout the day. If anyone has any good snack recommendations, please let me know.
List of food for the day:
Breakfast:
Coffee with creamer
1 1/4 cup Honey Bunches of Oats
Yoplait Light Yogurt
Lunch:
Open-face Roast Beef sandwich with 1/4 avocado
Large salad with tomatos, cucumber, and vinagrette dressing
1 1/4 cup cantalope (sp?)
(Coming up) Dinner:
Trader Joe's Mandarin Chicken
Trader Joe's spanikopita (170 calories for 3 pieces. What do people think: okay to eat or I'm just deluding myself?)
Snacks:
Fiber One Bar
100 calorie pack of Cheez-its
1/2 cup almonds
I think I'm doing alright with food thus far, but I know there are always some changes to make. If anyone has any suggestions at all, seriously, I'm listening (or reading as it were).
I'm going to Krav Maga again later tonight. Last night I accidentally punched my instructor in the face not once, but twice. Go me.
Alright people, this is happening. *insert motivational speech here*
