The Chronicles of Jessi

A Day in the Life of Dieting...

My Name

My name is Jessica, but only my mother is aloud to call me that. You can call me Jessi. I'm 23 years old, mother of a happy-go-lucky two year old little girl, named Amelie, and a wife of a wonderful and handsome man named Bo.

My Blog

This is my diet blog. I've tried others before and have failed. I have to keep track of what I have eaten and this is my way of doing it. Feel free to comment and make suggestions.

My Goal

My long term goal is to lose 150 pounds. Yes, I am aware that is a lot, but I have to lose a lot too. I have had many problems due to being overweight including: PCOS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and a few others left to name.

My Life

I was born and raised in Panama City, FL. I've been here all my life. I graduated from A. Crawford Mosley High School in 2003. I got married May 21, 2005 and had my first child November 26, 2005. Today, I am a stay at home mother and an army wife, trying to get by day to day as normal as possible. Which, if you know me, you know how hard that can be! I love my family, my friends, and my life. There are just a few changed I want to make to it, starting with my weight.

My Future, My Dreams.

I grew up in ballet class. I loved it so much. Then, there came a time in middle school that I had to give up the thing I loved to make the grade. I quit ballet and from there on, my life became harder. I gained weight, a lot of weight. Now, a high school graduate of five years, my dream is to lose that weight and get back into ballet and continue my dreams. I've always wanted to be a prima ballerina, but even if I cannot achieve that dream, I want ballet to be involved in my future.

So yesterday I was baaaaad. I had ranch dressing because they informed me they didn't have any light or fat free dressings. Then I finished off Sarah-Kate's chicken and french fries. I shouldn't have. I also had 2 cups too much of dairy products. Grr. My dietitian also said I have to give up the chicken cordon blue, unless I had make them. Today, I am going to be good. I brought my own lunch from home (a Boca burger, whole wheat bun, and Activia yogurt). I am also going to only drink water today. I get weighed again tonight with the dietitian. I also didn't get to exercise much this week with all the things going on. I did what I could, which wasn't enough. Blah. I've got to get into it!!! I need motivation! Where's Erik?!?!?!
