Flattery Will... Get Me Nowhere.

Apparently, a few compliments go a long way with me. A long way to making me so cocky I completely slack off! A couple people this week told me I looked thinner to them, so my mind has taken that to mean I can do whatever I want and there's really no need to put on that exercise tape or stop myself from ordering pizza for supper. Sigh. On the upside... I have officially lost 10 pounds, and none of my slacking off seems to be making the scale climb back up to where it was a week ago... So I jus… Continue

A Good Week

I was a very good girl this week. I did my exercises and stuck to my diet with no cheating or slacking off. As a result of being such a good girl my scale went below 160 pounds for the first time since being pregnant with Benjamin. (My four year old.) This was one of my first big goals, and it's exciting to be here! An added bonus was that a lady where I work, at mall playland (I can even bring my kids), commented today that chasing after my kids must be what keeps me so slim. Ahhhh... Music t… Continue

Mission: Completed

I made it people! A whole half hour of exercise with no disasters to report. And... I'm down almost a pound since Sunday. So a happy day for Becky! Now let's all hope I don't get all cocky and decide to celebrate with a big bag of chips. Continue

Conspiracy Theory

So it's been a while... Not just for the blog, but for the working out and dieting. Happily, I didn't gain any weight while going nutters with food and sitting around watching TV instead of working out. Sadly, and obviously, I didn't lose any weight either. Monday was official "back-at-on-the-program" day. It didn't go well. In the middle of working out to my new step aerobics exercise video with my fancy new step ordered off of ebay, I look up to discover my two-year-old has SOMEHOW managed t… Continue

Checking In

The last few days I stayed at the Holidiseased Inn in scenic Sicktown. It actually wasn't as nice as it sounds. You would think I would enjoy all of the lying around and general laziness required and laid out in Sicktown's city bylaws, but actually it put a bit of a cramp in my leisure time. I could have been enjoying all of the freedom from housework and childcare responsibilities (Glen was on "vacation" and did most of the work this week) by writing tons of blog posts and playing Sims, watchin… Continue

Who Knew?

Apparently, eating at McDonald's and not exercising is a good way for me to lose weight, because I'm down a pound today! That takes me to 160 which means very soon I will be in the 150's. I'm super jazzed about that. It will be a very exciting day for me. It probably won't happen till after Easter since I intend to take the weekend off. (Although, one has to wonder what I am taking the weekend off of? The McDonald's? The not exercising? LOL. Ahhhhh... Good times.) Continue

Blah

I didn't do any exercises this morning. And I had McDonald's with the boys for lunch. Plus my almost two year old stabbed me in the eye with the back of an empty razor so now I can barely see and find myself in excruciating pain. Could this day get any better? Hopefully, I'll manage to go for a nice long walk tonight, and keep myself from eating more than the salad I had planned. Sigh. If I don't, you all have permission to come on over and smack me.

Yoga... AKA: YOu GonnA hurt

This morning since my legs were stiff from the exercise video the day before I decided to take it easy on myself and try out my new yoga tape. (Yoga... For Weight Loss!) Oh man, I am hurting. Yoga is hard. I don't know what kind of superhuman freaks those people are, but squatting with my poor legs trembling underneath me is not conducive to slow and steady breathing. Of course, it may not have seemed so bad if I had read the back of the case and realized it was an hour long work out, instead o… Continue

My First (468th) Post

I have another blog. Actually, I write on five other blogs, but I don't write about my weight/health on any of them. My mom says I should write about it on here, since that's what she does, and since I always (wink wink) do what she tells me to, that's what I'll try. Only, now that I'm doing it I don't know what to say. I'm overweight and I don't want to be anymore. I don't think of myself as "fat" until I see a recent picture of myself… Continue
