Fast Forward...
Wow can I just say how fast this year is going by?
In three weeks (april 15th) Blair and I will celebrate our two years of dating.
In five weeks the semester will be over and I can relax and enjoy and summer break for once in my college experience, not that i'll be doing anything fun or exciting but maybe I'll get that tan I've ALWAYS wanted.
I will be 21 in about 3 months, and I am not really excited about it. Which is weird because I have always looked forward to my birthdays, maybe it comes with age or maybe I just have nothing to look forward to.
I think I need something to be excited about, maybe i'll plan a trip some where. Just for myself since blair has absolutely no time to get away, which truly sucks... its ok because he has more fun doing what he does than being any where else. which makes me a little depressed not going to lie.
Once august rolls around I will be exactly one year from graduation! It will be nice to get paid a little more. Hopefully by then I can get more hours too. :) I'll just be rolling in the dough.
I need to find something to make me smile more. lately i've been kinda a downer, guess everyone goes through phases but I just feel so stressed out and I know I shouldn't. Good thing I have good friends and family.

Evil Dr. Atkins
Ok so I really don't think he is evil... after all it isn't his fault i'm doing this right? Considering he died from a heart attack, I probably should use my brain and not follow suit. But heck it worked once and its working now. The moral of the story is I will not be on this diet for a considerable amount of time but here are a few things i've learned:
1. I LOVE carbs. There is something so satisfying about that first bite of bread or pasta. Oh how I miss them.
2. I hate eggs, always have and I aways will. Sure there are many different applications but if it is just eggs alone I almost swallow them whole just so I don't have to taste them. Normally I would cover them in ketshup but not on this diet.
3. I have found two very important grocery store items this week. Low carb ice cream bars (that are almost exactly like creamies) and atkins diet bars that taste like snickers! This has made my life extremely more pleasant.
4. For the first week you get pretty stoked about eating things like steak, chicken, cheese, hamburgers, bacon, ham, and shrimp. But after that it gets boring. I miss potatoes, carrots, and fruit. (along with bread and pasta) But truthfully if I didn't change my diet almost completely I wouldn't have the will power to stick with this.
5. I've lost 10 pounds in ten days ;)
6. When you ask and pay for a double cheese burger at dairy queen you will only get one patty. Those people are so inconsiderate. I hate you dairy queen, guess thats why you aren't called burger queen.
7. Along with this diet I have stopped shopping considerably, I think this has to do with me not wanting to expose myself to so many cheating opportunities :( (I still have popcorn and diet coke but shhh.... don't tell)
8. I am terrified that i'm going to lose more from my breasts than anything else and then i'll just be fat and flat chested.
9. I think this diet is making me lose more hair than one person should. and random chests pains (probably my arteries closing.)
10. I have the best support ;) thanks family and friends

After one week!
The good news is.....
I'VE MADE IT A WHOLE WEEK!!!!!
the bad news is I am having dreams about carbs! Last night I dreamt that we were in salt lake and I had to take my sisters to get a scone from scone cutter and I got so so depressed!
Guess it doesn't help that people offer me food left and right - I know they don't do it on purpose but it is so hard to turn that krispy creme down :( or for that matter fresh fruit.
only three weeks more to go. (I think, if i'm still losing weight at a pretty good rate i'll keep going i guess but from what I know it kinda slows way down after two weeks. I've lost 8 lbs so far, and i'm past the hardest part.
Not eating carbs makes me misreable just ask blair... so I doubt I can keep it off but maybe i'll just exercise more or something (psh I can say that now but will it really happen? I doubt it, good thing i'll look good for a little while)

Success
While it seems that I have no control over a lot of what happens in my life, I still can control my appetite. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to make it over the first hump of the whole no carb challenge :) I have done it and lost 5 pounds in the process! Although every time I have to go into the lunch room at work I just get so depressed :( I did join some friends of mine in doing a biggest loser competition! and there is $170 up for grabs so if I just stay motivated... I could like buy a new phone (which totally is my weakness! I love new technology and right now everyone around me has a smart phone and I don't, LAME)
