So I actually weighted myself today and I clocked in at 220 and 13oz.. the machine that took my weight was very precise obviously. That was fully dressed and armed with my purse. I bought batteries for my scale but havent wanted to offend it until it has had a night of rest since being awakened. I weighed myself on one of those SEE YOUR WEIGHT machines that takes a quarter to tell you what you probably already know. It also told me that 167lbs was my ideal weight and it would take me 247 days to get there if I followed it’s calorie plan. Cheapest diet I have ever paid for! I only have 180 days tho so Im gonna have to cut the 2400 calorie diet down a little. 1500-1800 here I come!
I also went grocery shopping today, just to pick up the things I forgot to get or ran out of since the real grocery shopping trip. Even though I had a 7 y/o and a 5y/o with me who could easily eat their own weight in junk food and still be perfectly skinny.. I was hardcore and bought popcorn, silk and lean cuisine… ok I did buy them the kid cuisine things since they would not have appreciated the delectable diet menu I have chosen for myself. Im sure when their father reads this he will wonder why I didnt buy hot pockets for all of us. <3 you Mr. metabolism of a squirrel! One other thing I picked up was meringue cookies from the deli section… which is evilly located by the veggies.. they are awesome. 110 calories for 4 and they take like 8 bites each to eat em. They dont have any trans fats.. think they might just be hard egg whites with vanilla extract in them. Whatever works to let me have a sweet thing for 25ish calories. I did buy my kids iced animal crackers but we had a talk about who’s cookies are who’s since somehow all cookies disappear within the first week.. and I promise it isnt me… usually!
Im looking forward to tomorrow since I plan on going to the gym for the first time in… yeah forever. I wanted to do a few days of focusing on my diet then add in exercise so I didnt overwhelm by taking it all on at once. Exercise always makes me feel like the diet was worth it anyway.. cant run while full of McDonalds.. it’s just never pretty.
So I nibbled on a few white cheddar popcorn my kids were eating while watching GI Joe… other then that I was good today. Besides.. you know Snake eyes eats stuff like that in his off time. Anyways, til tomorrow ladies!
Comment Question of the Day!!
If you had to fight a skinny chick for the perfect treat on your cheat day… how far would you go?
Onward we go!

hi peoples. Obviously my cheerleaders were right on top of things as I stuck to my diet all day without any problems. I think being blah over my husband’s deployment has pretty much killed my appetite so thats a silver lining to a dark cloud. I know it will sneak back up on me but maybe I can get a good week’s start and have an easier time sticking to it later.
I had some yummy baked fish, green beans and rice pilaf today, sensible right? I was thinking that until I read the package for the rice… something like 52 carbs and 320 calories per serving prepared! Why not just eat butter right out of the tub? So I had a very small serving of rice with lunch and let my sons eat the rest. Worked out well since they turned their noses up at my lovely fish. Well daddy is gone and so is the red meat for half a year! There are children out there starving, eat your food. Obviously I didnt say the first part but I have been known to say the second when veggies are involved.
My top secret diet plan (only 5 easy payments of 49.99!! act now!) is to eat smaller portions, eat more often, no fast food, no cake/cookie/candy type stuff, lots of veggies and no over processed anything.. oh and no eating after 7pm… which is the hardest thing since Im a night owl. For exercise I am going to do the treadmill at the gym 6 days a week in the morning and p90 or some other video in the evenings. On top of that I am going to try not to sit at my computer whenever I have free time. Except of course to write my blog.. cause what would you do without my witty satire?
So tomorrow is another day and I hope it goes as well as today did. There are starving children out there so I will just eat less and hope some of it makes it to them instead!
Comment question of the day…
If you were at your goal weight and someone offered you a million dollars in exchange for getting fat again.. would you take it?
Onward we go!

Here we go.. Im 32, mother of 2 wonderful boys, wife to a wonderful husband, great artist, love my life and everything in it… except for one little (or big) thing. Im overweight and tired of it!
I have been successful at doing the whole diet and exercise thing before, 2 years ago when my husband deployed I lost 40ish lbs in 4 months. Then they all lived happily ever after right? Until I went up a pants size.. then another.. did someone hit the repeat button without telling me? I’m 6′1 so making that look fat is a feat.. did I get a ribbon? No I just get to look for jeans that came in tall and plus size… I think I might have the only 4 pair out there.
I pulled out my scale, whom I havent said hi to in a while, and it told me the battery was dead. I think I am about 220-225 but will update that once I find batteries for my scale.. they are not double a’s… why? dunno. So, last time my husband went to the other side of the world I worked hard and eat healthy.. this time I feel motivated but not sure it’s as crazed as the first time.. need to work up to that level of I can do anything. I get frustrated at my kids for writing on things… usually my headboard, the tiles in the computer room or the wall in their closet.. because they write their names. Im proud they know how to write their name but who writes their name on unapproved surfaces and expects not to get in trouble for it? Maybe Im a hypocrite since I spent the last 2 years eating enough for 5 years of hibernation and helping gravity keep my furniture on the floor.
So you are my cheerleading squad, whomever you are that’s reading this, get your pompoms out and make up some cheesy weightloss chants! My sister in law is my main cheerleader but she is ahead of me in the “lets be hot mommas” race… so if someone could grease her pole (she does poledancing as exercise.. how fun is that! *jealous*) so she does a handstand and falls on her rear-end! (take that you getting skinny sister in law) Anyway… other then my obvious envy of the woman who is in the lead, I need any support you have.. cheer me or jeer at me if I dont update. I will return the favor!
Onward we go!
