Love to wash in your own bath water

Yes, I'm listening to Return of Saturn and I just love this CD! I always go back to it from time to time and get obsessed with it for a while before it retires back into my CD collection once again.

Speaking of obsessions, you are going to hear quite a bit about my eating lately because its an obsession. I always make it one.

I had a coffee with 2 hard boiled eggs this morning and a banana. Last night I stuck with what I said and had a good chicken salad with diet coke. But, I did go home and find 3 mini hershey's lying around from christmas. I probably had about 150 carbs yesterday. I'm trying to slowly get down to about 50 carbs a day but for now getting down just a little more than yesterday would be a plus.

Now, on my birthday, I'm drinking all I want but I'll drink light beer. Lets just say I have 4 beers, I just looked it up and that would only be about 20 carbs as long as I plan for that throughout the day I'm good!

Basically, mom said I should stick with my routine of eating out (for now) and choose wisely because lets face it, I ain't eating at home no matter what I tell myself. I just never do. So I might as well choose good while I'm out and try to get more veggies and water in there for now.

So...on with my day, wish me luck!

  • The worst part about trying to lose weight for me has been having my new-found enthusiasm dashed by the realization of how far I have to go. We allow ourselves to live in a state of denial until what we see becomes undeniable. I think the trick is to approach these things in a slow-and-steady manner. You didn't gain weight overnight, and you won't lose it overnight. Just keep a positive attitude, try to enjoy the process of exercising and noticing little improvements, and when you find a couple of chocolates laying around and have to give in, just think to yourself that tomorrow is a new day and get right back on track. I'm right there with you, Karri.

  • Dan, thats one of my favs. I happened to be listening to that song when I wrote my blog. No I haven't seen the video at all. You coming bowling tomorrow night?

    Jim, Awww thanks for the encouragement. Its a very very hard thing for me to do but I'm working on it. I was talking to someone last night and I told him that with the family health problems and my own, I'm looking at this in a different way...I have no choice but to lose the weight (period!). We'll get there! I have a looooong way to go too but we'll get there!
