- No more cereal....I dont like it to begin with because it doesnt fill me up and its just there....so I eat it

- No more peanut butter...So far, havent had ANY since november (go me :) )

TGIF! Its my 2nd anniversary with Zach tomorrow 
Time flies when youre having fun lol
Hopefully we don't eat too crappy tomorrow but Monday is my start date of eating clean, exercising, and clean shopping....so this weekend will be the last "fun" weekend for awhile!
Thanks of the comments on the location. I'm one of those people that don't mind cold too much so my vote is Hanover first and well see what happens from there.....
Also, had a dream that I opened a panini truck LOL
ALSO, TOM is late again....by 2 weeks. Dear body, WHEN will you adjust properly....My doctor wont even let me go back on BC because shes afraid it will mess up my schedule even more :/

I hate that I've gained so much weight these past few weeks. Doesnt help that we had pizza last night......
Oh well, time to start over!
ALSO! I found out that after my army training here for 2 years, in IL/IA I have a choice of where i wanna move to....Here are some of my choices:
1 - Hanover, NH. I've only been once when I went to visit Dartmouth College for school hunting....beautiful area and really cool research work for the area. PLUS, the fall leaves are AWESOME. Ive always wanted to live in New England (mainly, because of the colonial history). Well see what happens
2 - Alexandria, VA - Very familiar with the area. Right outside of DC. BUT! traffic is the worst thing ever (even coming from a NYer, DC traffic sucks....)
3 - Vicksburg, Miss - Well.....the research they do at the army labs is cool. Can't say I know too much about this area but after living in the south for 2 years I think I have an idea. Humid summers, warm winters, swamps lol
Well see what happens Dec 2014!
As for me now, I'd love to be at my ultimate goal by Dec 2014 lol
B (8) - Edamame (200) + Rasberry Tea (0)
S (1030) - Some granola....(maybe 300)
L (1) - Carrot sticks (175)
S (330) - Apple (150)
D (6) - YAY!!! I get to cook! Chicken tortillla soup :) Copycat of paneras soup but healthier! (260)
Total = 1085

Urg, things are feeling tighter :/ I love zach but darn we eat so poorly when we relax with each other.....I still cant cook because we STILL havent received our furniture from the moving people. Fingers crossed that today is the day!
YAY! Zach just emailed and said everything is set up. Hooray!!
Im putting my weight as 130. I know its not that high, but itll help me get in a mindset of losing the rest.
B (730) - Tea + PB sandwhich (around 400)
S (1030) - Pretzels (maybe 300)
L (1230) - Salad (200) + 3 peppermint candies (100)

I am back from Colorado.....Haven't gone on the scale yet and BOY am I afraid too......Zach leaves on Sunday to go back to NC :( but once he leaves, its back to working out! He could potentially be gone for 13 months come January to the great big sandbox our there in the east...and while that is a LONG TIME, I'm exctied to use the time apart as a way to workout hardcore and surprise him with an awesome and fit boday ;)
I'm looking back at 2012 and it really really was a great and healthy year!
Here are my new healthy resolutions for 2013!
1 - Get to my goal weight (115)
2 - 26 inch waist
3 - Eliminate the love handles!
4 - Drink more water
5 - Run for an hour straight (this one will be hard since I'm weak on running, but well see...)
6 - Wear itty bitty yellow dot bikini LOL
7 - Cook 50 new meals and document it. Overall educate myself with new and "tastier" healthy food...Theres only so much chicken and spinach I can eat
8 - Get a heart rate monitor watch :)
9 - Try not to eat junk....but give myself free cheat meals
10 - Overall feel confident and not be so self conscious!
YEP! Well see how well that goes!
I hope all of you have fun tonight doing whatever makes you happy. Me? Well probably be doing nothing...What fun 23 year old we are.......OY, my birthday is in 2 weeks....No cake for me this year :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope everyones dreams and wishes come true for 2013. This year is "Year Sara". Since Zach will be gone, I'm gonna focus on me.
Besides the healthy eating and working out, I'm gonna try to make friends here.....Its been a challenge so far, but I'm sure I can make at least 1 friend (so much harder when youre not in school!)
I'm also gonna finish up my online Masters degree and apply to some Phds that the army will pay for in Emergency Planning;)....but I have AWHILE till that happens. I've got two years here in Iowa/Illinois....so well see what happens in Dec 2014 lol.
What else? I'm gonna let my hair grow out again (Those that remember my hair question....I've started to take Biotin. Well see if it works!)
I'm going to try to be a better family member too. I haven't seen my family as much as I would like to....so I'm gonna work on that.
AND lastly, I'm gonna work on being a better person. Theres too much saddness and chaos in our world today, that I'm gonna start volunteering my time to those that need help...
Anyway though, hope everyone has a great start to 2013 :)

Thats a lot of no's.
Umpqua on 01/11/2013:
There are worse things you can binge on, just saying. You are doing great overall so please don't be too hard on yourself - sometimes too many restrictions can backfire. Believe me, I know this. Have a good one today!
