Day Four: My Worky-Work

I started my new job today. Came in to sign some paperwork and earned $17. I hope this will be a fantastic job. Everyone seems really nice though.

I'm sorry for not posting for awhile. I had an anonymous person somewhat insult my other blog, Vegan365, because I pay for my own products to review. They said because of that it was a fake blog and they weren't going to sponsor my reviews. So as soon as I get my paycheck from my first two weeks of work, I will continue to pay for my review products. I don't really mind doing that, I just think of myself as a guinea pig of sorts and enjoy putting money into a habit I feel passionate about.

My weight loss has been going fairly well, at least going down steadily. Due to family issues I haven't been able to work out for the past few days, and even thought I would have to move out of state for awhile. Thankfully, things seem to be going alright with the family for a change. So I can concentrate on continually losing weight.

My nutrition counselor at S2 said to consider using protein powder and consider doing weight training. I can dig both really, I have wanted to try some vegan protein powders and use them with some coconut milk and ice and make some smoothies. It seems pretty cool to me. I also used to weight train when I was really gung-ho about working out every day.  I am still using BMR Bliss Go Pack which is BMR Bliss, Thyro-Drive, and Downtime PM. I still get hungry and eat more sometimes but it is considerably less frequent. It's not like every meal is a banquet but having a nice meal from time to time is good.

I hope to keep this blog updated regularly as long as I'm not working. I work 8-hour shifts so I may not be available every single day to update the blog. But I definitely will check in at least once a week to let you know how things are going.

And We're Off (To A Good Start)

Welcome to Weight Loss 365. Most of you know me as the reviewer on Vegan365.net. Well, let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Shelly, and I'm overweight.

"Hi, Shelly!"

It seems counterintuitive to me. Here's a chica who is filling her body with lots of tasty things, how could she be overweight? Well, veganism is great but I learned the hard way to make sure that I wasn't the stereotypical "junk food vegan," who fills up on fries and vegan cookies and brownies, and wonders why her diet is not working. Also, I am gradually easing myself back into being vegan and holding myself accountable by writing the blog. With that in mind, I am easing myself into weight loss as well and I will hold myself accountable by writing this blog. Sound good? Great. Let's get started. :)
