Day 2 down!

Doing good still had a tad bit more cheese than I should have today but for the most part I am feeling good!

Back to work tomorrow and trying to figure out what I'm gonna bring for lunch. Probably a salad with chicken and a hard boiled egg onto. Simple and quick.

Gonna stay away from the cheese I think as I love it so much lol.

I need to lay off the diet coke too I've been pretty much only drinking that today and haven't had any water. Oh well tommorow is a new day and I'll do better tommorow!

1 day left before I start my weight loss!!

I am super duper excited to start Atkins on Saturday! I can't wait! Going grocery shopping tommorow after work for all my healthy foods. I feel so positive it's great! Gonna weigh myself on Saturday morning first thing! This is going to be a long journey but I know I can do this! I'm so ready to do this!

I want to be able to go buy clothes without worrying I won't be able to find my size (3x-4x) right now! I want to be able to go to theme parks and not worry if I will fit on a ride , I want to enjoy vacations with my family and not stand on the side lines and watch everyone have fun!
I want to be able to wear a bathing suit and not worry what other people will think of me.
I just want to be me and be healthy for my daughter. I want to take back my life! Food will no longer run my life, I will run the food and be in control of my body!! This is it I can do this! I will do this!
I'm off to sleep gotta get up in 6 hrs to go to work. Blah!

A little about me.......Julie!

OK...........So I wanted to start my own blog to keep track of my weight loss journey. I havent blogged in a few years so this is kinda new to me. I am hoping to use this to have a way to share my thoughts and feelings along my journey and just keep me in line and onn track. Even though I doubt anyone will read this but that's ok!

A little history on me. 

I am Julie, 30 yrs old. I live in Ontario , Canada with my dh and my 11 yr old daughter. I am currently about 290lbs and looking to get down to under 200lbs, preferably abot 170lbs. 
I have decided to do low carb eating (more precisely Atkins). I have tried dieting before but have no will power to stick to them for long. I am more determined than ever to sick with this and change my life for the better and stop letting my life pass me by and actually start living my life.

My biggest goal is to lose enough weight to be able to get pregnant, I am positive it is the reason I am having trouble conceiving. I believe this because I started working in July of 2010 and lost about 30 pounds and in April of 2011 I found out I was pregnant to our complete surprise as we had been "not trying and not protecting" since my daughter was born in June of 2001, and we hadn't been successful so we were shocked!
Anyways I was so excited to be pregnant and I was excited since I didnt think i was ever going to happen for us again. Well unfortunately on August  15thh 2011 a 16wks 4 days, I lost my baby and had a "late term misscarriage", I was devastated and we were determined to try again right away and I was soooo trying to be positive. Here I am 1 yr and 1 month later and we have had no luck. I want to call my doctor and see whats up but I really want to lose weight and get healthier before I get medical help. After my misscariage I went down to 255lbs but i was barely eating I was so depressed, after I went back to work and I started feeling a bit better it all came back and here I am at 290lbs and aching for a baby and not being able to do it.

Anyways, I am starting my weight loss journey on Saturday Sept. 15th and I am feeling good about it! I am so excited its ridiculous how excited I am. My daughter has vowed to help me stay on track and exercise daily, and that will be hard for me as my job is pretty physically demanding on my body, I work in a hotel as a housekeeper and by the end of my day I just wanna come home eat and plop in front of the tv, so I will have to adjust that's for sure~!
