Day 1!!

I just started TODAY!!!!
I skimmed through the NoS book in Barnes and Noble about a month ago and thought "oh, yeah ok whatever, seriously?? what's the catch here" and then figuring it would just be another waste of money I decided to buy it.
After 3 weeks or so of not even opening the book I finally decided to at least read it and give this idea a chance. The more I read the book the more I couldn't put it down! All I could think of was the V8 commercials where they hit people on the forehead for being stupid "DUH! Of course Excess is my problem!" I'm 19 years old and so sick and tired of carrying around more weight than necessary. When it comes right down to it I just want to feel good about the way I look...

As an extra motivator, which may be the real reason why i actually decided to read the book, is I just found out that my Cousin in Miami is getting married at the end of July, I haven't seen my family in Miami in 6 years and I'd love to be a bit thinner, more confident and maybe even comfortable in a cute bathing suit. That gives me a little less than 4 months to lose as much as I can, I'm not setting any goals or anything like that, I just want to see how much I can lose by following this diet, and from what I've read in other people's blogs it's absolutely life changing, and that is awesome.

I've seen a bunch of different approaches to this blog thing which are all spectacular and motivating, but I think what I'm going to do is basically just keep a log of what I've been eating and how much exercise I've been getting in each day and just keep it simple.

Today, so far I had planned on going for a walk this morning before breakfast when I woke up to a thunderstorm so that was postponed. Instead of letting that get me down I went into the kitchen and made myself some breakfast (which is a rare occurrence for me during the week) i made a bacon egg and cheese sandwich but instead of putting it on regular toast i toasted two waffles for my sandwich just to change it up a bit. putting the sandwich on a small plate i noticed there was still some room so i added a handful of green seedless grapes, and poured myself a glass of orange juice. it was a great breakfast and it was the perfect amount of food to hold me over until lunch time around 1:30.
For Lunch i made a Turkey Sandwich, on Wheat bread, with the correct serving size of Mustard, Turkey, one slice of Cheese, and 2 pieces of bacon, a Pickle spear, and another handful of grapes (they're just so yummy) all on a small plate again, with a glass of water.
I just realized that the rain has let up so I think I'm going to get that walk today after all. I've already got Dinner planned for when my mom gets home at about 6:30, I'm thinking spaghetti, with spaghetti sauce of course, and garlic bread, mmmm i can't wait, but i'm not hungry just yet.

This should really turn out great, there are even ice cream sandwiches in the freezer and cookies in the cabinet that I haven't touched. I've been tempted just because I'm used to reaching for that type of thing when I'm bored but when I conciously make a note of the fact that "hey, i'm not hungry, I think I'll have a glass of water instead" it really made me feel good.
