Today went to shit.
Diet: I did great at lunch but it was our faculty dinner tonight for the school of theatre and I ate way too much and of really bad stuff. Tomorrow is another day though.
Exercise: I didn't get to because homework had to come first. I will do yoga in the morning though before class and my shower and my homework. There is a new day awaiting me.
Emotional: I can either hate myself for breaking the second day or I can realize I made a mistake and learn from it...all I feel is disappointment for myself and I don't want to feel that anymore. Time to step up my game.

Day 100
So the set up for this will go as such...I will tell you about my "Diet", exercise, and then emotional work that I went through for the day.
STARTING WEIGHT: 199.6
DIET:
I had some struggles this morning with the food I was eating. I know it is a process so I cannot be too hard on my self right now. My goal is to eat clean for 100 days that means no fried food, no heavy oils or starches, and no sweets. I know that last one will be the hardest to beat but I have faith. The staff team that I work for here went to Ihop this morning/afternoon and I broke and had pancakes...I ate the eggs too and my portion was much smaller than normal. Then for dinner I had carrots, celery, a stirfry of veggies and spinach and fruit. I felt full and light, which is better than my normal bloated feeling I get after eating in the dining hall. I need to increase my water intake since one I live in Arizona and it's hot, but two water flushes crud out of your body. I like water so it shouldn't be hard.
EXERCISE: So today I wanted to go to the gym but never had time. Instead of using it as an excuse though I decided to do some cardio in my room tonight. It wasn't a lot and there is a really good reason for it. I am having a lot of back pain...so much that my doctor wants me to go to physical therapy, I did not notice how much it was limiting my movement till I tried to move. I finished my day with a 37 minute yoga video that deals with pain. YOGA TO GET RID OF PAIN. It hurt A LOT but I know if I stick with it the pain will leave and my range of movement will approve. I will now end every day with the yoga routine that way the pain will go away. Tomorrow I want to get over to the gym and elliptical for about an hour just to feel like I can move again. I do not want to start lifting any weights until I stop worrying about my back.
EMOTIONAL/MENTAL: This is the hardest part. I am fighting myself. I have years of bad habits built up and I can't expect to break them down in one day. I need time to rebuild myself and the good in me. I used to be a dancer and a softball player. I was flexible and moved a lot. I wasn't a fat kid...well I was but I was an active fat kid. I know I can do this. I have to break out of this. It hurts to see how weak I have let myself become. I don't want to die at an early age. I 'm not even 20 yet and I have chronic pain that I know my weight has contributed to. I have to beat this. And I want to put this there now YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO DO THIS. I know along the way I am going to feel that I have not gained anything and that I have to stop and I can't do this, so I am putting it out there now to remind myself that I have to do this and I want to be stronger and I can't keep pretending that I am skinny and strong and healthy...because I am not. Not yet at least.

The Day before day 100
I still have this blog, I know I never write, I am awful at blogging, I am also awful at self control and losing weight. So since I suck at all three of these things I am going to mash them into one and change my world in 100 days.
For the next 100 days I am blogging every day, eating clean, working out, and reshaping my life. I feel like the reason I never succeed in my weight loss battles is because I never hold my self accountable. I don;t tell anyone and so I am able to give in and continue my path of a better tomorrow that never comes.
Even though I have no idea who reads this, or if anyone does...at least it is a way to keep track of what I do and hold myself accountable. Tonight is my last night before my 100 day challenge, I will start off with listing my beginning weight, some pictures of myself and what I want out of this experience.
Every day I will post how I feel about myself, work on my confidence, and let you know my great tidbits. Once a week (Sundays) I will weigh in and post a new picture. Then once a month I will set a new goal for myself and create a progress chart.
Here goes nothing...Ready. Set. Create a better me.
