02/04/2002 Entry: "2/04/02 Morning"

I am buckling down with my eating. I am doing WW on my own and am going to become very strict with myself. I had been watching what I eat for the month of January and see no results. Even without exercising much, I should have seen some loss. So I created and printed out my own little food journals that I will write everything that goes into my mouth in. If I can't be faithful with my exercises, I know I need to at least with my eating. My goal is to lose 1 pound per week. I will do this!

I got my period today and just got over a 2 day migraine, which started Saturday before we went out. So I am feeling awful today. I don't know if I'll exercise or not, but I will for sure tomorrow.

I am also giving up alcohol for a few months to see if that will help with the weight loss. I don't drink that often, but I usually have 3 or 4 drinks on Monday's when I watch Shawn bowl. I don't need it though and am going to drink 1 diet soda and then water. I still think it's the alcohol that caused me to gain 30 pounds this past year. I had maintained my same weight the entire 4 years I lived in PA, but I never drank. Since moving here and going out more often, I've put on all this weight. I've been reading about how our bodies react to alcohol, and it's no wonder I don't lose weight. So we'll see.

It's true Leah. In my 'thin' days, the only time my weight would zoom is during ball season in the summer when we would be guzzling beer all the time! Unfortunately or fortunately I can't use that as an excuse now, cause I quit drinking 12 years ago!
