Fat as Mud

Exercise every morning, get it over with before
I find an excuse
Drink more water, there are days I go straight
from coffee to wine
Kegel exercises, because peeing when I cough isn’t
cool
Practice belly breathing, it helps me focus on
my abs when I exercise
Plan my meals and do preparations on the
weekends
Initiate sex [...]

My sleeping late is making the days go even faster. I have got to get back on a normal sleep schedule. That is one of the things on my list of to-dos for the new year.  They say that getting a decent night’s sleep helps with hunger control and weight loss.
My high protein plan is [...]

I think that making sure i am getting plenty of lean protein with each meal and snack is making a difference.  Those damn empty carbs just make me go crazy. I’m not necessarily a big fan of the high protein diets for the long term.  I mean sure i lose weight pretty quick right off [...]

The crime is: neglecting one’s own hopes and goals in pursuit of self-sabotage in the form of total disregard to the opportunity to exercise in the favor of an all evening binge on sweets such as ambrosia, 8 hershey’s chocolate bells, 2 pc fudge, more ambrosia, a few nuts, 4 more chocolate bells and a [...]

It was tough, i almost got up 3 or 4 times to get some of that ambrosia. It was calling me. So of course i had it for breakfast this morning. Just couldn’t help myself. And then again this afternoon!
Calories so far: 1 serv of ambrosia (168) with a banana (100), a can of chicken [...]

My husband put me to bed at 9pm last night, i had fallen asleep on the couch and didn’t even realize it. Then he and our girl stayed up til 1am playing Mario Kart Wii.  I got up at some point and watched an independent film on PBS about Grey Gardens from documentary to musical. [...]

I hate being sick, i’m so glad it only happens about once a year.  I’m also glad my husband and daughter went with me to the bank and grocery store today, i was a zombie by the time we were finished.  Then i came home and laid up in my bed and watched the most [...]

I woke up really sick today.  I just feel awful.  I did manage to weigh myself and i was down to 188.  I guess coughing burns a lot of calories.  So, since i am down in weight, i am modifying my mini-goal to losing 8 lbs in the next 3 weeks. I also want to [...]

We had a nice family day at my house today.  It is strange but nice to have my husband at home all day.  I still feel sickly, but i am not letting it get me down too bad.  I have eaten all day.  I don’t know who these people are who don’t eat when they [...]

I woke up feeling sick today: sore throat, fever, cough, headache.  So i have slept for a lot of the day. I’m feeling a bit better now. It is nice and quiet around here today.  My daughter has hung out in her room all day.  My husband is taking the rest of the week off [...]
