I Enjoy an Adult Beverage!

Iiiiiiii"mmmm Baaaaaack!

So, not only was I not exercising last fall/winter, but then I went and got myself pregnant! It was a long, hard pregnancy. I was crazy sick - I needed meds delivered via a pump! Then, at my 20 week ultrasound they saw that my peanut had a pretty severe cleft lip and palate. Finally, I went into premature labor and had to go on bedrest!

Well, Duncan was born only 10 days early and is doing great! His clefts are bad, but he is eating well and gaining weight. Now I need to eat well and NOT gain weight. I plan to get back on the wagon. You should plan to see me there!

I Miss Coca Cola

As much as I want it to be true that this tastes just like real Coke, it doesn't.  People who say that are liars.  Harsh?  Ok, then maybe they're just delusional.  Regardless, I am a 30(ish) year Coke veteran.  I was pissed when New Coke came out, and oh-so-relieved when Coke Classic came out.  Diet Coke sucks.  I'm sorry if you disagree.

Anyway, Coke is my one true downfall, and I don't think it's something I can enjoy in moderation.  I want a Super Big Gulp of the stuff, RIGHT NOW!  This water crap ain't cutting it either.  I may just use up all my weekly bonus points on Coke.  It's not fair.

This is me, whining.

Ack!

Today was parent-teacher conference day where I work. Contractually, since we must stay they must feed us. Every year they feed us the same thing. Ziti, chicken, bread, soda. So that's what I had. All of it.

Why?! Tomorrow is weigh-in! I did so well yesterday. It was my first day back at work after 7 weeks off due to back surgery. Being on a schedule made it so much easier to eat well! At the end of the night, I still had half a point left! Not so today.

So tomorrow morning I will see how it goes... Wish me luck!

Mommy Has a Baby in Her Belly!

No she doesn't. She's just fat. Of course, I don't say that to my daughter. I certainly don't ever want her to hear me call myself fat. I want her to have a healthy body image. I'm trying to get one of those, myself!


Belly fat seems to be the most dangerous, and I have a good deal of it. Again, this is NOT me in the pic. I aspire to that little bit 'o belly fat.


I am going to up my activity today. Really, I am.

BMI

Do you see the number on this scale. Yeah, it's not my scale. I am 5'9" and Weight Watchers says a healthy weight for me is between 135 and 169. I haven't been 135 since middle school. I remember being 140 in HS, and thinking I was fat. HAHAHA!

Ok, so laughing aside, I really do need to get to a healthier weight. 169 would put me at a BMI just at 25, so not even "normal weight" if we're labeling here. 135 would put me almost "underweight" but ok. HAHA! Me, underweight. Whatever. Anyway. I am currently not in the "overweight" category. Oh no, not me! I have achieved "obese" status. Such an achievement.

I think part of my problem is that, while I certainly look overweight, I do not look obese. If I wait until I LOOK obese, I may just be too far gone. I will be merely overweight once I lose 10% of my current weight. Jeez! That said, I need to do this! I am a horrible example to my kids. I simply cannot be healthy at this weight. The time is now.

I rejoined WW last week, but have been exceeding my points all week! I see a glaring red number at the top of my screen at the end of every day. However, I AM journaling everything. I will continue, and chip away at the excess points. I will increase my activity points. Next week, I hope to not have any (or at least a lot less) red days. I may not do it all immediately, but I will not quit. Each week WILL be better.

I Need to Get My Sh*t Together!

Hard to tell, but that's a Peanut Butter Perfection, from Cold Stone Creamery. I had one today. What the hell is wrong with me?! I'd have to work out a ludicrous amount of time to work that off.

Can't wait for weigh-in on Friday. Woo-freakin'-hoo.
