Lots to go

8 Pounds down and lots to go, but it has been a really great week, and I am starting to see some results. Summer tends to help though cause I just don't have cravings for carbs as much. I love me a toasted tomato sandwich.

Bad Bad Husband

This afternoon was a little rough for me. You see, I work overnight shifts, from 8:30 pm to 8 am, so my eating schedule is a little wacky. I try to keep a normal routine, but that isn't always the case...hence the enormous weight gain I've experienced this winter. Oh yeah..back to my story. I woke up at around 3:30 this afternoon to find my husband laying out happy meals for the kids, and of course a Big Mac meal for me. Thanks...I groan as i stumbled into the kitchen. I don't know if he just forgot, or wasn't thinking, but how could he do that to me when he knows I am desperately trying to lose weight? I cut the burger in half, passed my 11 year old one piece and ate the other as I dispersed the fries amongst my 4 kids. McDonald's is a treat in our house. The kids don't get it very often (about once a month max) so I didn't want to ruin it for them, but how could he? Not only am I trying to get healthier, but I want to encourage my whole family to do the same.(Problem is they are all in great shape). Not two hours later, The Man returns from the gas station with a pocket full of chocolate bars and lays them on the table for me to pick one. I just about lost it. Is he deliberately trying to sabotage me? or is he just really that dense? Surely he couldn't want me to be his fat wife forever? I mean I weigh 20 lbs more than he does and he's 6 ft tall.(I'm 5 ft 2" by the way). GRRRRRRR. Needless to say I have to give myself props cause I skipped the candy bar, and picked up a bottle of diet Pepsi on the way in to work. Men!!!!

And So It Begins

I am on a mission...One to become a better, healthier, sleeker version of me. I am not getting any younger, and my body sure isn't gaining any gravity, so it's time. Time to re evaluate my lifestyle, and why I have become so fat! I have always had weight issues, at least since high school, which is right about the time my parents were finalizing their divorce. I ate ALOT. My body was not so forgiving. As of today I am going to record my weight loss journey. A journey that is a long time in coming. I hope maybe this blog will keep me on track and help keep me motivated and accountable for changing my lifestyle. Maybe it will even motivate others (assuming someone will read this). Welcome..Sit down relax, and pass me a carrot. Glad you're here.
