I brought off the wall to start. Obviously this wasn’t his first album, but I figured I get all his stuff before I go and get the Motown cds.

How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I slowly reduced the amount of times I was eating out. I joined a gym, and tried to incorporate more exercise into my daily routine. I also tried to keep a food journal, though there were many days that I didn't use it. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I wish I could say I worked out hard everyday and eat all the right things. I did try and do all those things, but ultimately it came down to less eating out/fast food. Everybody knows it's hard as hell to lose weight, abd even harder when you're stressed. I could have lost the weight in a shorter amount of time if I had just eaten out even less than what I did, and reduced the amount of fatty foods I ate when I did eat home. What's… Read how I did it…

I’ve had the past two days off from work, and all I’ve been doing is eating and sleeping all day long. I gotta go back to work tomorrow, so I’m hoping that once I have something to occupy my hands (instead of food) it’ll be easier.

Still .4 more pounds to lose. I dropped the ball on this one, but it’s been a stressful week for me. Today I’m eating pizza (i’ve been craving it), but tomorrow I’m going to try and get back to better habits.
