No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Still Holding On...
WEll...Happy early Birthday to MEEEE! It's not until Wednesday, but I'm at work tonight, access to FASTER computer, and we are taking off Wednesday for a nice, long camping trip in the " BEEEEEEEEG Camper"- Man Cub apparently studied speech under Mel Blanc. Speaking of, here is a nice, fresh picture of Lum and Abner, ( AKA: Ralphie and Randy.. " A Christmas Story"? Anyone?) visiting Mommy at work
This has been a less-than successful weight loss endeavor. I've joined the " Wednesday Weigh In " club to hopefully boost some accountability. Hubby and I were discussing motivation. " What's my motivation?" His, was the Biggest Loser Contest, at work. That has since ended, he's noticing the scale inch up and is naturally concerned. What can we do, between the two of us, to boost morale, motivation and whoop some weight losing arse?
My problem is the fact that 6 out of 7 days, I'm home. My kitchen is right there! Short of exiling myself to a deserted island, what is a Stay at home mommy- who works 1, maybe 2, 12 hour shifts a week to do? Well! As of late, I'm hitting the tea. Just plain ol' iced tea or hot Lemon Lift. I HAVE indeed noticed that when I drink Diet Pepsi, I really DO crave crap. Using Splenda or Truvia in my hot tea doesn't seem to trigger it, but pop? Katy, bar the door! I get "munchy".
I also need to really start cracking down on menu planning. I'm past tired of chicken....fish.... Any and all suggestions are MORE than welcome!
Time to step away from the vino too. We've been hanging out on the front porch, with *ahem* Adult Beverages.
( and the BIGGEST aggravation? The s----l-----o----w----e-----s----t computer to grace this green ( brown- thanks drought!) Earth! " It's on the list"- sez Hubby.

Check you SkinnyTaste.com. She has the best recipes I've found! I make something from her site at least once a week! Great pic!

I know what you mean about being home with 24/7 access to food. That happens to me in the summers. Can you set a schedule for yourself where you eat every 3-4 hours and plan out what you'll have? Maybe that will help.
Sorry about the slow Internet! I know that is so annoying!

Happy Birthday!!!! The boys look wonderful. I can't believe how much they have grown. Meal planning is key even though I just hate to do it. It is work, but nothing worth having is easy. I've let myself go and the disappointment is overwhelming. But I just started Insanity today (I must be insane to even try this) and I am calorie counting. I want this weight gone this time. My long term goal is to look marvelous this Christmas.

Happy Early Birthday to you! You and your kiddos look great! I'm with you on the staying home, but i'm faking it until I'm making it ;-)
And of course I get the Ralphie/Randy, LOL, "Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie..." HAHA, one of my all time favorite movies!
Glad that we are both back at the same time, i've missed you!

Happy early birthday! We apparently both need to hit the ground running again.
