Party on!

I did it! I actually survived this weekend and stuck to my game plan menu of food. AND it STUNK! I was totally grumpy about it. If I'm roastin smores with my kids I wanna have a smore. I don't love hitting the shake shop watching everyone else enjoy while I sip my water. I have spent the weekend thinking how many of my life events or 'fun things' involve a boatload of calories. Sunday family dinner, vacations, weekends at the cabin...from weddings and funerals to date night so much of it is about yummy eating. I need to wrap my thinking around the fact that I can go to the cabin relax and enjoy without getting sucked in by the yummy treats, burgers fries and shakes. If I just knew for sure they were going to be serving those things in heaven I could give them up for good??

A weighty question

To weigh or Not to weigh...that is the question. If I'm going to give up sugar, diet coke, chocolate and all that...I pretty much want instant results. In this part of my journey I would like to not only take the baby weight off (plus a little extra) but also change the habits that put on sooo much baby weight and the little extra. I do believe our bodies are temples and I want to feel good inside this temple. I want to live a long healthy life and I want to feel strong. lalala so does everyone else I know. Back to my bad habits... In the past when I weigh myself and the scale is not what I expect, I get frustrated. When I feel that frustration I want to give up and go have an Oreo because OBVIOUSLY my efforts are not paying off.. or are they? Or have I deceived myself thinking my efforts were enough to get me where I wanted to be? I am considering either weighing myself once a week or not weighing myself until I reach the end of my 4 weeks. What do you think?

On Second Thought

I had way too much drive time today to think. I won't forward these posts anymore, everyone I know is way too busy to for these trivial thoughts...so I will still be here blogging away. May the force be with you.

I have committed to this 4 week diet and will probably be posting more than usual to keep my fingers busy on the keyboard vs reaching for the cookie jar. If these updates are a pain in your inbox let me know and ill take you off the forward list.

1st Day back to work

Yesterday I went shopping because I literally had nothing to wear to work. (Ok I do have one skirt that fits) After hours of shopping I found one outfit I liked. (Seriously not fun to be shopping when you still have 45 of the 65 lbs you gained while pregnant to loose)....not to mention the styles these days. I've done the leggings thing once in jr High and I have zero desire to ever do it again. And skinny leg pants and Jeans.??? Hmm NO.
So I have my one cute outfit, my hair actually turned out decent. Dani had the kids under control and I was out the door! My nice offices told me I looked great which is good because they may see me in this same outfit for the next 4 weeks! I made the decision to wean the nursing thing down to just night time. Having just made that decision yesterday my boobs are about to explode! Its a good thing the outfit includes a loose fitting short sleeve cardi because my RT could seriously poke someones eye out. Last stop of the day the OB's office for my 6 week check. I hate her darn scale its even worse than the one at home!!!
