UUUUGGGGG BLAH and other things like that!!

 I feel so ucky! I did the dishes, thats a start. I have had two chocolates today, thats not so bad, but, I want more. Hubby bought me a bag of Hersheys Bliss chocolates last nite. They are really good. I let him get them becouse I was sure I had more self control now. I dont. Im pretty sure the only reason I havent eaten all of them is because they are downstairs and I feel to lazy to go get them. AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I want to go running. Or walking. I like to walk. You wont belive why I havent recently: I LOST a shoe! Just ONE! One of my tennis shoes went missing last week, and I havent been able to find it, or had the chance to go get another pair. Maybe this weekend. 

Some more blah. Maybe I will lift some weights. Probably not. Maybe tomarrow.

I cant belive it!

 Ive gone from 159 to 155 in less than a week!! Im not going to weigh in until Saturday(my offical weigh in day) just in case I go up or down a pound. To be honest, I havent gone running for a while, I just havent been able to get up in the morning, becouse Ive been waiting for hubby to get home from work(usually midnite!!) And (TMI warning) he has been very “friendly” lately. I actually got this book called The Ultimate Sex Diet. Any of you in a steady relationship should check it out!!!

I also make play time with Bella an ab workout! She gets a kick out of laying on her belly on my legs while I kinda crunch up to her and kiss and make silly noises. She laugh like a hyena and I love it!!! Nothing better than a baby laugh!!!!

All of this loss makes me want to do more! I had three waffles for brunch(I slept in) but I havent had anything else. Im going to steam a pork chop with apples and aspragus for dinner.

Well, I went in for an interview on Monday, and she said that she would call in a few days, but she hasnt still. GRRR!!! But I still have to figure out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Says the twenty year old with a husband and a baby!!

House work time….again…..

Till later

A new dress

I got a new dress yesterday. I really like it, the problem is if I dont hold in my belly, I still look pregnant. I am losing lbs, pretty well, but Im not losing inches. I really dont want to look pregnant any more. But now I have my new dress to keep me motivated towards losing those inches. I just need to find a good ab workout that wont hurt my back. I have a bad back.

I found a job!!! Im going to start saving some money, and when I get to my mini goal, Im going to buy a new outfit, and when I get to my goal weight, Im going to go spend everything I saved and get a bunch of new stuff!! I probably shouldnt have gotten the dress, but I dont have a sundress that fits me, and hubby thought I needed somehting new, and who am I to argue??!!

Till later!

I am sure now….

 I always knew, but tried to deny it. I definetly eat out of boredom. I stayed busy today, and I havent eaten since the icecream binge! Dinner is almost ready, and I have only eaten twice! Now I know what to fix, I just need to do it! I think the food journal is really helping. And now I have here, and the longest loser competiton to help!

Icecream binge!

OOOPS!!!! I just had a major icecream binge. A serious one too. The icecream was chocolate, with chocolate chunks, and brownie pieces.

I even lost weight between yesterday morning and this morning, and then I go and do that!! I just have to make sure I stay busy today, so I dont eat and I can burn off some of those calories!! I have to keep up for the longest loser! At least I got to run this morning. And for lunch I had a beef patty with cheeese greenbeens and salad. Im trying to drink plenty of water, its hard to remember to with a baby to take care of!

So, HOUSEWORK!! I hate housework.

PBJ, bikes, and doggies

 I love a good PBJ after working out. Im not sure how it affects my diet, but since I have no intention of completly giving up carbs or sugar, I think its ok. It helps give me the energy I need to get through the rest of the day.

 I didnt get to jog today. I woke up too late and DH had to go to work early, so I couldnt have the car to go to the park. But, I did get to go for a bike ride. I wanted to go an hour or 5 miles. I was gone for 37:15, and made it 4.80 miles. I had to turn around a bit early. My dog Rose followed me along for the ride, and she was making be a bit nervous. She did very good though, she kept up with me the whole time. Even down hill!! And she really kept me going. When I was cheering her on, I was cheering myself on too. Keeping up the noise so I had something else to concentrate on. She was a really good motivator!!

Hmmm, I really like this font……….

Ta Ta for now!

Yesterday, and a running buddy

 Yesterday I didnt get a chance to go jogging. My parents(who DH and I live with for now) had a realtor over to look at the house in the morning, and we had to do some last minute cleaning. By time we were done and the realtor was gone, it was just to hot! We ended up going to Six Flags, and got plenty of exercise there!! And we didnt eat much, becouse, lets face it, food at the theme park just costs too much!!!! We did have icecream, but how often do you get such fantastic icecream??!! Before we left, I was looking for a swimming suit, that was not fun…. I didnt realize till then just how much weight Id put on. Everything is bigger, my arms, my legs, everything!

Today DH went on my jog with me, I didnt think Id like it, I enjoy the alone time, and I thought bringing the baby would be too complicated. It really was pretty great family time for us though. And DH kept me motivated. I didnt want to fall to far behind him, so I had to keep going, even though he has some weight to lose to, he turned out to be in better shape than me! He kept me going, and even though the stroller slowed down the walking laps a bit, my running laps were faster today than usual!

I feel confident in the two lbs Ive lost(my ticker is off Im waiting till Monday to fix it, just in case;) ) which is cool, becouse usually when I lose a few lbs, the usually sneak back. I just hope I dont lose it too fast. I think the healthy amount for a breastfeeding momma is 2lbs in a month, so Im doing ok I think. WhooHooo!!!

How to deal???

 Well, ladies, its that time of the month for me. Im just getting used to them again, as my lil girl is only almost 5 months. Now I have the problem of cravings. The chocolate and fried food cravings. I always used to use this time as an excuse to cheat on diets, but I was never serious before now. I have already had a chocolate shake, and have potatoe wedges on the way…… Ah to be a woman……

On the bright side I got to jog this morning before AF came to bug me. I think missing a day through me off.

This is an excerpt from my food/excercise journal from today:

   “Turns out if I miss even one day, it screws me up. My first lap was great, my first walk I felt on top of the world, I would have kept running if I didnt need a drink! I wish I had kept running. I didnt make it three mins into my 2nd lap [running] before I wanted to stop. But I cant be down on myself. I will do better next time!!”

Well, I will eat the great-tasting-bad-for-my-diet potatoes, then I think I will try to blog next time I get a craving, or maybe clean something. If I cleaned every time I wanted to overeat, my whole road would be clean( and I live on a dirt road!!!)
