So...

When I start to tell a story I normally start it with “So…” And I wasn’t aware of it until I did an internship in New York. When my manager would have to call a client from Missouri for a meeting he would get himself all set up with plenty to do during the meeting. He said we tend to talk slow and drag out words and start everything thing with ‘”So…’”. So I became aware of this habit so thought why not embrace it. Each of my blogs are like a story I would tell a friend so I would only seemed fitting I started it with “So…”.
Okay SO here goes…
My name is Jessica and I’m a fat girl. This blog will be about my struggle with my inner fat girl as I try to be a fit girl. I have struggled with my weight for a few years and this blog is a glimpse into my daily battles with myself, fitness, and food.
Bear with me through this process, as I will have slip ups and typos but I never claimed to be a fitness professional or a writer.

So... the document is not in the microwave.


Whoops sorry I haven’t posted in a few days.

Thursday I think the carb deprivation was getting to me. I think when I am “watching what I eat” I become so focused on food. I have the weirdest cravings. My coworker who is also a blogger of http://klutzcrossing.blogspot.com/ will hear the most random things from my cube. Ohhh Chocolate Chip Cookies. Grilled Cheese and Chicken Noodle Soup. Chocolate Ice Cream with MM’s. White Cheese Dip. Chips and Salsa. BBQ Sandwich. Taco Bell. Noodles & Co. No I am NOT preggers. These cravings are little gremlins that throughout the day appear and chant. Chocolate...Chocolate... Chocolate. Hey did you friggin hear me. CHOCOLATE!

I become so focused on food. Try to hear my thoughts over the chant of the gremlins. The other day I printed something for my boss and went into the copy room/break room and walked up to the microwave and looked in it. What was I doing?! The printer doesn’t print there! What did I expect to find?

 

This weekend was one of my first big tests. The Lake!

Luckily my dad asked me what foods he could get that could help me stay on track. And he went to the store for me! So great to have support and encouragement.
 

This is the picture he sent me after he went to the store.

On Saturday I started the day with my protein shake and had an apple as a snack on the boat. For lunch we went to Shorty Pants on the Lake by boat. The frozen drinks and BBQ and fatty foods were so tempting. Instead, I had water, a spinach salad, and half of my sister’s grilled chicken sandwich. And two bites of my fruit cup, it wasn’t very good and I could tell it was from a can and not fresh.  Before dinner we went on a 1.5 mile hike through the Ozark State Park. The rocks and inclines gave a nice slight burn in the legs.

Then we fixed dinner at the condo. Grilled chicken, corn on the cob, spinach salad, grilled peppers. And my dessert 2 slices of pineapple!

 






I am confident that these choices will become easier and these cravings will lessen.

Just got to keep after it.
