I am so happy right now! Reasons I am happy!
1)I just finished a 3 mile walk, 7,000 steps and I have only been out for 1 hour! (300cal burned before breakfast!)
2)I just ate salad today! I am doing a good job of eating my vegetables! Eating vegetables is now my top priority and that is why I ate them for breakfast!
3) I drank 16 oz of water already! (I started my day by drinking water!)
4) I know exactly what I am going to eat for lunch, dinner and dessert today!
5) I have a new plan to treat myself!
6) I found a new way to measure success!

Super Snacks!
Looking for snacks that will keep you from starving?
100 cal popcorn (yum) (Good if you really want to feel your belly!)
10 cal sugar free jello (a nice fruity treat)
15 cal ice pop (great when it's hot)
100 cal yoplait yogurt, sugar-free (feel like some ice cream, have this instead!)
0 cal pickle ( need some thing salty like chips, eat this guilt-free)
Simple salad (just lettuce, 15 cal salad spray and a pinch of sunflower seeds, just a pinch, great way to get folate)Bonus hate baby carrots, I do! Have some shredded carrots or beats on top!
A whole sliced apple ( ton of fiber and one is pretty much a guilt-free snack when you are hungry.
Celery Sticks ( A nice filler, especially with some V8 juice, spicy please)
Cucumber Slices ( The new refreshing chip when you just need that crunch)
Sugar-free ice tea or crystal light ( Great way to get in more water)
Rice cakes (The traditional kind are low cal, great when you need a snack so you wont feel starved)
Pretzels ( The hard kind, they pack a big bang cause you can eat more of these than chips, if you don't dig salt, get the salt-free kind. My friend dips these in mustard for a little flavor.)
Sugar-free gum (Helps stave off the munchies when you just want something in your mouth, but you are not hungry just stressed or bored. Bonus also cleans teeth!)
Hope these ideas are helpful!
There is no, absolutely no reason to feel totally deprived and starving just cause you are trying to loose weight!

First Day Progress Report!
Today I went to the gym at 9:00 am and I walked on the treadmill for twenty minutes I did one mile. I have already walked 9,000 steps today according to my pedometer.
What I ate today:
For breakfast I ate a peanut butter Larabar. It was so good. I drank some water with lemon juice and took my multi,c and hair, nail and skin vitamins today.
For lunch I ate a chocolate chip cliff bar. It tasted like a cookie. I drank plently of water, lemondae vitamin water, zero cal of course. I drank some ice tea and crystal light no more than 15 cal.
For dinner I ate red beans and rice, a super small portion.
I still need to eat:
Probably a 100 cal yogurt for calicum and some fresh vegetables! If nothing else I will have a glass of V8 vegetable juice. I may have a 15 cal ice pop since it is hot.

Becoming a frequent poster and Jenny!
I just noticed I only have 127 Body Basic Post in the two years since I have been keeping this blog. I really need to start posting more often. I think the more I post the more I will lose. I need to start posting every day and several times a day!
Update:
My current weight is 270lbs. Last night I signed up for Jenny Craigs 10 week, 20lbs for 20lbs. I am going to try the program out. At first I was moaning about the cost, but I can't use any more excuses for not changing my life style.
So far I am eating my Jenny Breakfast which is an oatmeal and honey bar, a small yogurt and a small cup of apple sauce. The bar was ok, not my favorite, but i does not need to be. Instead of tripping out I am just going to continue eating them, because they are portion controlled and good for me. My breakfast is around 300 calories. I am on the 1500 calorie plan.
The main things I am trying to focus on while doing Jenny are that I am worthy of this self-care. It was time to start loving myself and doing what is right for my body. This is my RX.

This is going to be so hard!
Sticking to this plan is so important. I need to lose this weight. I need to lose this weight so that I can be the woman I need to be. I need confidence to achieve all my goals.
Here is a list of women who inspire me
Michelle Obama
Oprah Winfrey
Queen Latifah
Kim Love
Beautiful Brown Baby Doll
They don't let any thing stop them from reaching their goals and I will not either.

Back to the basics a weight-loss bootcamp!
Lately I have jumped off the deep in when it comes to eating. I have been making the rotation between jack in the box and taco bell. I have been living off soda, chips, cookies and candy. I now weight 270 LBS, thats 30 LBS away from 300! In light of this fact I need a fail safe plan that will help me get to my goal of 200LBS. I can no longer live this way.
So I am implementing a Back to Basics Bootcamp to lose the pounds starting Feb 9, 2011.
Meal 1 Energy Bar ( I know, I know they are so gross, but I will live!)
Meal 2 Energy Bar
Meal 3 Lean Cuisine
Snack yogurt, fruit-cups
Drink water
Walk 30 min 5 days a week.
