Dad tried to get me to go eat out last night and I resisted cuz i'd never lose weight with that kinda food lol. I ended up not even eating dinner after I passed out at like 7 and slept 13 hours waking up for church and hour early. Got up acouple times in the night to drink water I've been doing that alot lately. I'll wake up really thirsty and have to go find water. I'm really thirsty right now too. Guess I'll have to start keeping a gallon of water in my room.  So I'm trying to feel plant inspired again for awhile. I need to clean off the shelf in my room and plant some seeds and see how fast I can get them to grow. Maybe get some fruit off them b4 winter. Maybe some late watermelons :D
As of right now hmm 183-184 pounds? ok i'll take that lol

losing weight

I know the self control it takes to really lose weight. I've done it before it isint very easy i've lost 40 pounds in one summer before by eating squash and working outside all day every day lol. I dont usually have THAT much self control who does? but I want to lose weight before school starts on August 16th. Right now im 188-189 ish pounds and I want to get it to 170. Just 20 pounds in over 3 weeks I can totally do that. :) Today I had a 4egg and cheese sandwich and a gallon of water while I spent a few hours out picking berries. I'm pretty hungry right now So i'll prolly cook 2 or 3 ears of corn and just eat that.
Farmers Market in the morning tomorrow. Hope lots of people come out to check out everything the vendors have to offer! Any farmers market is the best place to get your favorite veggies fresh and good.
