A Bribe? Daily journal #3

SO today me and my mom went shopping and after we were done and got back to the car she told me that she would take me on a ''shopping spree'' IF i could lose 15 pounds before I go back to school August 25th. So far it has not been going to well except when I go out to eat I am trying to eat healthier and drink lots of water and when I eat chicken I will only eat grilled chicken! also eat more fruit and veggies.

Another one of my old tricks is to go on the cereal diet where I eat cereal for Breakfast, Lunch, and DInner this really cuts out the calories and helps me if I top it with fruit so I am going to try this diet for a week I think but I can't have any desserts, wish me luck i will update my journey.!

Troubles on Control and exercising? Daily diary #2

I am so mad at myself I thought i was doing good for about a week but then of course my dad went to the grocery store and all he got was junk. He has diabetes so he has to have some sugar in the house in case his blood pressure drops so it is very difficult for me to have control!! I got a new journal today so I am hoping to do a kind of diary of fitness thing i have no clue yet! any ideas leave a comment below!

Daily post #1 // Goals

Well today is Saturday and I am just not doing good on my diet, its summer and I am going to high school next year and I have not done much to prepare my body and I am not sure I will be able to live like this for much longer so therefore I am setting goals for my-self!

#1.Control:
I want to be able to have control over what I eat meaning I can control myself and not be tempted to eat desserts 24/7 so I want to be able to say NO! to desserts.

#2. Drink more water:
i feel like I am just eating to much and I feel the problem is water! you may say why? but this is because i think i am choosing to eat over really all I need to do is drink water and brush my teeth after every meal this will help me to eat less!

#3. Comfortable:
i want to be comfortable in my bathing suit and look good in it and this is one of my main goals for this summer!
