Gettin back, a back on track

Wow, time flies when your "having fun". More like time flies when your trying to keep up with homework and reading. Ugh... Things one the food end of life have been going well. Keeping on track for the most part did not loose any weight last week.. but then again I also didn't gain any.. which is always good. So far I have lost seven... well i did weigh this morning and another three have gone down.. but I will wait till my correct weighing day to take a final loss for the week. I really think I am starting to learn about portions... That not only can I live on this much food, but that I feel so much better. I have more energy, than I did when I would just eat until I felt over full. I never thought there was a difference... and their is.. it is completely possible to feel satisfied but not be tired.. Which actually makes total sense, because food is supposed to be our energy source. We kind of forget that here. With all the fun restaurants and their HUGE portions, and yummy snacks that do nothing for us nutritionally. Its amazing, how we loose track of what food was supposed to be when we start trying to modify it to our tastes... What concerns me is the modifiers... most of us have no idea what so ever as to what goes into the food we eat on a daily basis. I mean really. I have a thought... lets all of us ( I like to imagine that I have at least 300 people reading this blog regularly :)) take a look at our food. If it is a color that is not found in nature, we should probably dispose of it. Like Cheetos for example.. i have never seen that color anywhere but on Cheetos.. I am not even sure how one would go about making that color. icky..... Well i completely just lost my train of thought... so i guess this is my cue to go.. I will start trying to get back into blogging every night.

The Weekend

I discovered the joys of trying to eat out while on Nutrisystem this weekend. Salad then the Nutrisystem dinner back at the dorm. Although the salad probably did not have low fat dressing.. I kinda forgot to ask. Mostly it is because when I go out to eat I don't really take into consideration what exactly I am eating. Which is a big part of my problem here. When I go out to eat someone else is making it. I just got used to being concerned if there is a dead animal anywhere on the plate. That by the way is my new reason for staying vegetarian. Dead animals sitting in my stomach, I think not. It just sounds horrible. Sorry if I ruined something for the meat eaters reading. Anyway. That is why all of this is a lifestyle change, I need to start taking into consideration what I am putting into my body. I definitely have started on an everyday basis. I have been watching a "vlog" which is one of these but on video.. I loose my train of thought to quickly for that to work for me.. Anyway. It is called loosing weight the hard way. The channel on YouTube is Antishay. For any who are interested in checking her out. She is starting to eat completely raw.. not like the gross raw meat. But all veggies and such. She has me pretty convinced that it is a pretty good way to go.... partly because I am eating a lot of raw stuff lately.. because the Nutrisystem portions are so tiny. ;).
On that note though, I really am starting to see that I can survive on that amount of food, and that I feel better. Like I noticed today after eating out.. and honestly messing up on my plan a little bit. But its the classic learn from my mistake scenario, because it sat weird in my tummy, and I would like to avoid that feeling again.
Sorry this is so random.. but it is almost 1 in the morning, and Cartoon Network is distracting :)
