Weight: 157.2 (almost to my goal of under 155 before June 4th!!!)
Exercise: Going to the gym tonight to work upper body with my hubby!
I'm baaaaaaaaack! Don't worry, I haven't quit the quest to lose weight just because I haven't been blogging. I've just sort of run out of things to say. I figure you'd rather me post when I have something to say rather than post and just babble about nothing!
A couple of things are on my mind today. First off...did you watch the Biggest Loser? I am normally not that into that show, but I have to admit that this season sure did get my attention. I only caught the past few weeks' episodes, but that was enough to motivate me. Seriously, if these people can lose 100+ pounds in 5 months, I can certainly lose 20ish pounds in about that same time, right? That's what got me thinking. On the finale, one of the contestants said something to the effect of if you change the way you think, you can do it. It's so true. I'm even more motivated to get my act in gear after watching that show!
So...speaking of getting my act in gear...that certainly doesn't mean that I don't screw up every now and again. I have a confession to make. I confessed to my friend yesterday and here I am, owning up to my mistake to you guys as yet another way of keeping myself accountable. Well, my husband was out of town all week in Buffalo, NY...and the saying is when the cat's away, the mouse will play, right? I'm not going to lie...when he's not here, I tend to get more cravings and less willpower. What'd I do, you ask? I bought a bag of Krispy Kreme mini cruller doughnuts...and I ate probably two thirds of it. I will say, however, despite the guilt I felt from pigging out on those...I loved every minute of it! haha!
The other thing on my mind is...bathing suit season. Bleh. Anyone else not a fan of shopping for a bathing suit? First, I'm not a fan of discovering that none of my "old" suits fit me anymore. Thankfully I do have that one excuse I can use...I did have a baby and my body is just "different" now. At any rate, I think I found one that I really like, but we'll see.
Well, that's it from me today! Just don't think that I've given up if I don't blog...and you don't give up either! It's time to get healthy so we can stop focusing on losing weight and trying to get healthy and just finally enjoy our lives!
Yeh, and why is it when the cat's away.. the mice will play???? I have done the very same thing when Steve is out walking or.. gone for awhile.. I think it takes you back to when you were a kid and your parents weren't around and it's the "ah ha!!" I can have whatever I want mode! Once when "I" was a kid.. I remember eating a whole box of eskimo pie sandwiches.. I'm sure I was questioned as to "what happened to the eskimo pies".. That's the other thing.. I've always been real good at playing "I don't have a clue"...!! I suspect we all get that same tiny thrill of.. humm... no one will know.. until you confess in a blog of course!!!
