cheater, cheater, bacon eater?
i put some of my lost weight back on over the holidays. and for the past week, i have been counting my points like a good girl, waiting for the scale to shift the slightest bit.
i have a few options…
week 1 weigh in….
good morning. and it really was a good morning today, i got up and got around, then stripped and stepped on the scale… Read the rest of this entry »
day 2
ok, maybe i should call this day 1?? since yesterday i didn’t eat 6 mini meals, only ate 4, and did not get around to my lifting. but, on a great note, i did eat 4 wonderful mini meals and lots and lots of water! just like i had outlined in my eating for that day in the meals and moves link. i am going to try and update it every day, even my free day.
we are getting really excited around here for “the dark knight” movie. now, as most people know, we are obsessed with all things harry potter, and i had hoped for the last few months that the teaser for half blood prince would be in the previews to “the dark knight”. i read it’s not! booo! there has been nothing on the hbp movie out. no teaser, no international trailer. and it’s making me crazy. of course, we are excited about tdk for so many other reasons: christian bale, maggie gyllenhaal, christian bale, gary oldman, and what is being called ground breaking acting by heath ledger. and did i mention christian bale? he is such a great bruce wayne. and maggie is such a better fit for this almost indi feeling batman, much better than mrs. tom cruise. i felt that miscasting was as bad as julia roberts in oceans 11. it just didn’t work. every time i looked at mrs. cruise i thought of oprah and that couch.
i’m off to enter the meals and moves for today!
the plan
my husband is a sweet man. maybe not sweet in the conventional sense, but sweet for me. the other day he went out and bought me three new books: body for life, body for life journal, and eating for life. then he went shopping and bought all new healthy things for us. we don’t have a lot of junk in the house anyway, but it was exciting to get fresh food early in the week, we usually shop on the weekend. so, i have everything ready to begin body for life.

manic monday
the weekend has come and gone, and i for one am glad. after eating so clean for a few days, my system hit birthday overload. which is fine because it’s once a year, but is bad because i can see it today in my face. maybe that is me being crazy, but so call me.
we went to the store last night and bought lots of protein and veggies. some lo fat dairy. i forgot the diet coke. i know, diet coke can make you crave sugar and get bloated. but it can also make a day with three children 5 and under go a little more smoothly, so back off.
we have a wedding this weekend. my only female cousin is getting hitched. we are excited for her. the only thing i hate, and i mean hate, is that i am having to go see the whole family with much more weight on than the last time i saw them. granted, i have an 8 week old, but it is still hard for me. gayden and i talked about meeting/seeing people when you have gained weight. people that never knew think you are just fat, and those that have known you before think you have just let yourself go. so much perception is tied to weight. we may try not to judge, but people do. i think it’s almost natural. even if you aren’t judging the person, you are wondering how they ended up fat with all the diets being crammed down our collective throats. i’ve done it. and i am sure people will be doing it to me. this is motivation enough to not let it go again. yes, i have some baby weight. some from the 8 week old. and some from the 4 year old. but i have to claim it, own it and get rid of it.
so, again, we end up with the mindset being changed. this is not about dieting. this is about the rest of my life and the way it should be eaten.
