Ooopers, you gotta see it!

What day is it....?
I have been SO extremely sick for the past 5 days... Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have been the worst of the days. I couldn't even begin to tell you what I've been eating. I haven't worked out since WEDNESDAY because of this. I've been in bed for the majority of the past few days.
I'm hoping that I'm completely better by tomorrow (Monday) so that I'll be able to hit the gym... I feel so weak and slugglish right now. I'll get back to my normal eating today!
Breakfast: special k cereal with skim milk & coffee with light cream and truvia.

day 9
DAY 9
FITNESS: Went to the gym and did ellptical for an hour... I should have stayed longer but this cold is kicking my ass. It's hard to workout with a sore throat - it makes everything harder!
FOOD:
Breakfast: egg white on flatbread from DD (less than 300 and totally delicious) and a hazelnut iced coffee with splenda and light cream
Lunch: left over pad thai (only a little bit) and a granola bar
Snack: special k bar
Dinner: chicken, baked potato, corn --- deeeeliciiiiouuussss
Dessert: skinny cow ice cream bar!
On my mind: I'm still dealing with all kinds of Biggest Loser drama... I just found out that my mom doesn't weight enough to be my partner and they are really leaning towards partners rather than singles. I just don't know what to do. I'm so discouraged because I want this so bad. I know I can do it on my own, but I want to get on the show so I can inspire people. I want to represent the entire state of Maine. The casting director told me to let her know if I somehow come up with a partner because she and another CD said they "both see something in me that's incredible" I'm praying that someone randomly comes along...

Day 4
DAY 4
FITNESS:
I went to the gym todayyyy and did the elliptical for an hour... burned approx 740 cals! :)
FOOD:
Breakfast: Iced coffee with light cream and splenda & egg whites on a wheat flatbread (under 300 cals and totally delicious.)
Snack #1: Greek yogurt
Lunch: Bagel with a tiny amount of cream cheese
Snack #2: Fiberone granola bar
Dinner: chicken on wheat wrap.. i ate dinner at britt's house tonight!
Dessert: coconut?!
RANDOM:
Alriiiighhhttt so yesterday I had an up and down kind of day. I got some news that I didn't want to hear, but it's all good now. I am living with the mindset that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. I need to drill that into my brain. I've basically come to the conclusion that BL isn't going to work out, because of something the casting director told me... So that means I have to work extra hard ON MY OWN. I know I can do this. It's a mental game. Believe it, be it. I GOT THIS.

DAY 2
Day 2
FITNESS:
Not completely sure if I'm going to workout today... I normally take Tuesdays off because they're such busy days, but I ended up skipping my second class... Maybe I'll do an hour on the treadmill tonight?!
FOOD:
Breakfast: multigrain bagel w/1.5 tbsp cream cheese... this is NOT a typical breakfast for me. way too many calories, but i needed it this morning.
Snack #1: caramel fiber-one granola bar (my favorite!)
Lunch: tuna sandwich (ummm, good thing YOU weren't the one eating this - don't worry, i still remember your HUGE allergy!!)
Snack #2: lowfat microwave popcorn- the healthy kind, promise!
Dinner: tbd.
Dessert: tbd.
ON MY MIND:
Okay so I didn't get any sleep last night. My brain was running for all of the hours I layed in my bed starring at my ceiling. I was just thinking about how badly i NEED this. i need to lose this weight more than anything in the world. specifically, i NEED to get on the biggest loser. i've never wanted something so badly in my entire life. i'm waiting for the 2nd casting director to get back to me today... i have 2 people on my side from the casting offices, so i'll take that as a good sign.
As of this morning, I've lost 8 lbs from when I started a few weeks ago. I'm finding it hard not to get emotional right now. I have such a long way to go... This is hard for me to say, but I haven't weighed under 200 lbs since I was in 6th grade. I can't even imagine how it's going to feel when the day comes that I reach 199. I know that sounds crazy because that's still a VERY big number.. but it's what I'm aiming for. But that day won't come for a while :-\
I just have to stay positive and hope that everything with BL works out in my favor. I want it so bad that I can practically taste it. I'm going to leave with this -- everything happens for a reason.
