A.M. Weigh-in: 154.0 (seriously SERIOUSLY???!!)
Skipped breakfast this morning and have now eaten most of a box of chocolate covered creme de menthe Altoids while drinking a Diet Coke. Can we say wholesome, clean, all-natural foods? No, apparently, we can not.
My arms are sore from my upper body work out at the gym yesterday. For those keeping score, that would be TWO DAYS IN A ROW! <- all caps wasn’t sufficient, had to go for the bold too!
Today is lower bod - Wednesday is an all-cardio day, then back to upper bod.
Food was Fabuloso yesterday…. right up until I pigged out on veggies about 9pm. What’s that you say, veggies are 0 point healthy uber clean and natural totally acceptable pig out food? Excellent I say! They were swimming in a vat of full-fat ranch dip; I believe I consumed a couple of pints. Oooooohhhh, you say! Well THAT explains THAT, fat-ass!!
Just ate the last Altoids out of the box… that was a brand new box about 10 minutes ago. Note to self: do NOT skip breakfast EVER!!
Small box of yellow bunny peeps are calling to me from the upstairs fridge… I hate them. They are taunting me. Pure evil…
I’m supposed to head to the gym in 10 minutes. So why don’t I want to go? Besides being totally buried at work - you’d think I’d be looking for excuses to get out of here for an hour. But I really need to go to the bank. I have no food here at work, especially with my stash of Altoids depleted. I feel LAZY. Lazy and mentally lost. I have no focus. I’m watching my weight creep up higher and higher and I feel totally inept, like no matter what I do it’s going to keep inching up. And yet, I feel only mildly frustrated. Like I don’t have the energy to care or berate myself. It’s SUMMER - we’re getting up into the 90s and I feel like I have the winter blahs.
UPDATE 12:50 PM
Currently eating lunch: bbq chicken salad I picked up from Safeway. I also grabbed a snack on the go thing with celery, baby carrots, grape tomatoes and light ranch dip cup for later. I’m all set… I hope!
I picked that up on my way back to work from THE GYM. Yes, I went. Did the lower bod workout machines. Feel good. Sore but in a good way. Three days in a row - look out, this might stick!
Now if I can just figure out a way to keep from my food raids at night, I’d be GREAT!
UPDATE 4:18 PM.
A little over an hour to go before I head home for the day. The next few hours are when I do the most damage. Whether its candy at the movies or while I working around the house. I don’t know why I get the urge to mindlessly eat late in the day lately. It used to be a huge problem and I changed all my routines hoping to adjust myself out of it. It had been working until recently. I think I’ve been eating dinner too early, for one. Usually around 4:30 pm. I’m just too hungry at bedtime. But I get off work at 5:30 and eating dinner at home has proved disasterous - once I start eating I can’t seem to stop. Need to figure this one out and soon!!!
UPDATE 9:30 PM
Watching the weigh in on Biggest Loser. Can’t even imagine how stressful that must be. I have my own WW weigh in tomorrow night and it’s going to be a big, fat gain. UGH. I do not even want to step on that scale. I am totally dreading it!! I have got to get my head back in the game. I’m planning another rafting/kayaking trip for me and the boys the week after school gets out. That’s 7 weeks from right now. It’ll be up in Oregon, and it will be hot. I’m determined to be able to wear a tank and shorts - and not be all stressed and self-conscious about my arms. I’m going to tone these babies up by then! By the end of the summer, the boys and I are hiking up Half Dome in Yosemite. We’re going to start doing small hikes and hills around here on the weekends. And early mornings once summer hits and they’re out of school. I’m getting our asses in shape, gosh darn it!

OMG. You have FREE heated pool usage available to you at any given time without other people getting in your way?! I just found a new-with-tags speedo on ebay and got a good deal on it. And it actually doesn’t look bad even though I have ten pounds that I need to lose (that I gained over the winter, ugh). I strongly prefer “real” swimming suits for actual swimming. The ones in regular stores just aren’t made for swimming…too much cleavage and strap slippage and high cut legs and all that.
Those chocolate covered altoids are freaking delicious. If candy and a diet coke were a healthy meal, I would be GOLDEN. Whenever I am having candy and/or doritos and a diet coke for a meal, it makes me want a cigarette, even tho I don’t smoke. But it’s like why not just complete the trifecta of decadence, you know what I mean? Heh.
I do not like leaving reviews but I have to say these opinions from Sept or October are so off base, they had to become written by reviewer henchmen! I hate when a exhibit this very good arrives down the pipe and all I get to read may be a bunch of fuzzy diarrhea that’s written in hate sort. I mean, did Seth Macfarlaine fart in these reviewers direction or one thing? Maybe his kid beat up their kid or some thing on the playground at some rich ivy league ville. I don’t like it at all, that they leave absolute adverse reviews on viewing you or two episodes that have been incredible! I like this Cleveland Jr guy mainly because he’s a giver. The episodes are rich and crazy with lots of laughs however coming to light. Once viewing this season I sense we may well have some true magic on our way in season 2
