My very 1st blog!

I tend to NOT go online obsessively. I work and do other things outside of the computer world. This is my very 1st blog ever so please forgive me for the lack of creativity in the layout and all that fun stuff.

Alrighty... so as I write this I think of the reason I started this blog which is because of the stupid weight I gained over the holidays. I was eating pretty healthy before Christmas, mainly just small portions throughout the day. I was working out. I started at 120 and dropped down to 114!! Then my great idea came into play. I decided that my new years resolution would be to eat only healthy foods, mostly vegan kind of stuff... high protein, high fiber, low calorie, low fat, lots of fruits and veggies... and no sweets! (which is hard with my sweet tooth haha) Soooo around christmas I decided to eat WHATEVER I wanted, as much as I wanted because I knew I wasn't going to be able to after new years. Oh Mandee, you genius you, you're not as clever as you think. I swear I was eating a slice of cheesecake every day... and thats just one bad thing I ate. I can't remember what exactly I was eating, but just try to imagine anything fattening and yummy and thats basically what I ate for like a week or so. Anytime I craved anything, I let myself eat it... and as much as I wanted too! Now, I dont own a scale... so I wasnt aware until recently but I gained all the weight I lost back, plus more! January 1st came along and I've been eating very healthy. (I'll go into meal details later) Today is day 8 of eating healthy and I havent touched a single unhealthy thing. (woohoo!) For those of you wondering, I weighed 124 yesterday! Ewwwww I know. I gained like 10 pounds since my lowest weight. Time of day weighed and water weight and stuff are not counted into this so the accuracy could be off... but still. Its horrible. Now I have to work all that extra weight off. The only good thing is I pretty much killed my appetite for junk food by overdoing it. Next time I'm around a scale, I pray it drops significantly!
