Diet or just eating healthy? Still debating this.
so I said that I would get to this, well I am as the boys are out in the garage playing poker and I am syncing my mp3 files on my cell phone so I have some files to play on it. If I have a toy you know I am going to play with it.So what did we do?
I lost poundage just by watching what I eat. I have reduced the amount I eat which has helped and I know that if I could get my ass to the Y I probably could dump the last 15 pounds I am willing to loose. My Mom freaked out however saying" I can see you neck bones, gross! No more!"
It's not that bad, I am not dying people.
Lloyd has been good about going to the gym. He gets up and goes before he heads to work, now this body can't handle that as I need my rest otherwise I am more of a bear than usual. I figure that if I got up I would have to be at the Y before it opened anyhoo to be home in time to get my daily primping done.
Now don't think of me as highly maintained, it's not that at all. I am a damn putz in the morning. I can't help it that I don't want to get moving before 8:00. So going to work early to flex has nearly killed me.
I like the idea of getting done with work at 11:30 one week, that's nice, but that half hour really screws me up. I am slowly getting used to it but I seem to always forget something when I have to be there that early.
Back to the diet. We have done one good thing: NO FRIGGIN' CHIPS. We don't have any in the house unless we are planning on having company and they eat them. It has made a HUGE difference. I would rather eat carrots now (which for awhile I was sporting orange fingers...no kidding.) and other veggies while I make supper or after. We have been eating more cereal and protein as well but the other big factor is watching the amount of total fat in things we do eat.
I have a rule, if it between3 and 5 total grams of fat it's okay as long at the calories are low. If those two factors are not there, you ain't stuffin it sweetheart. So far my theory works and I am not hungry, but thirsty.
That is the other thing, I have had to curb my drinking some. I still do, but it's much smaller amounts, so no more of this:
which is okay I guess. I needed to get off the sauce a bit. Not that I don't miss a good martini every once in a while. Lately I have been turning back to them but in less quantity. Of course I am still a stickler for quality, so I have a fifth of Oranj Stoli if anyone wants to have a mango. I must say I was pretty happy with them and if you are like me - withdrawn - a bit of club soda gives it a bit of fizz and tames down the mighty Russian that is living in the bottom of the shaker. I have been considering one tonight just to bear some of the crap I took in the last ten minutes of work today which turned into me staying till 5:30. I think I scared Sheila when I stormed out of my office speaking words of hate and distain.
I will just say this: If you are pissy, don't pick up the phone to talk to a stranger. All you are doing is opening pandora's box.
After that, I wanted to make sure the boys were covered for tonight so I ran to Sam's to get them some treats.
Smokies, veggies, pin wheel dainty sandwich thingies, baked chips, some of those addictive munchies and some dip. Since most of them don't care what they eat they should be set. Lloyd will go kill himself out of guilt tomorrow for eating any of it and drinking beer.
Me: I will likely be mowing grass. I do this a lot. It was fun at first but now it's getting to be that time of the year where I feel like I should just do it daily. Right now it's puffy in spots and always makes me thing that people think we let Mollie and Torrie pee in the front yard. We don't, it just gets puffy.
Okay I am tired, I am still thinking about that stoli and I have to get the checkbooks caught up. I am guessing a few of you would like some updated pics of Lloyd and I, and I am working on it. Now that the girls are all sexy butted up, it's time for me to make the arrangements for the sitting to be after my beautification on the 14th.
Oh hey, for a good laugh...hee!
Click on that and see who is there!
