It seems like

forever since I've talked to you stalker friends! I was WAY too busy on Friday, which equaled super, on plan eating, but alas no posting due to the hectic schedule. I typically don't blog on the weekends (too cheap to buy the satellite internet I would have to get to have internet at my house) and I was at home Monday and Tuesday due to the weather. I have this little rule, if the kids are not in school due to weather, JC does not go to work. While I love what I do, it's a job. Jobs come and go, my health and well being is kind of one of those you have it or you don't type of things and with 15 inches of snow and me living on a gravel road, the likelihood of my Pontiac heading up or down the road, is low. So, anywho...long story short, I'm back!
Weigh in this morning was good, down another, I think 4? Which is a good thing. I am close to being back to my pre-Mexico, pre-holiday bloat and on my way back down to where I want to be. I seriously do have a laundry problem, I haven't figured out who's doing it, but someone is drying shit, WAY to high. My "loose" jeans were tight this morning and with the weight I have once again lost, they shouldn't be. I'm finding it hard to complain about though, because at least OTHER people in my house are doing housework.
In my extra time at home I discovered a few things. I could be extremely successful, if I simply avoided being at home. My family would not like me much, but I would be skinnier! I also discovered I love the food network...the only problem I have with the food network is some of their "hosts." For example, Dear Barefoot Contessa, I have no idea who Bobby (I can't remember his last name even though you 'dropped' it 72 times in your 30 minute episode) is, so when you talk about it being Bobby (we'll call him Hansen, for the sake of the story)'s birthday, I really couldn't care less. You can simply say, "It's my friend Bobby's birthday, so I am planning a bar-b-que for him." That would be an acceptable statement. When you say, "It's Bobby Hansen's birthday today and I am having afabulous breakfast bar-b-que for Bobby Hansen," it makes me want to scream 'WHO THE FUCK IS BOBBY HANSEN AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?' You drop the name like you are entertaining for Oprah or Tom Hanks, not some gray haired no name who NO ONE KNOWS!!!!! Just stick to making your fucking scrambled eggs and mimosas and let the rest of us be. Sincerely, JC
Whew.... I have also learned that there are a lot of truly insane people in this world and quite a few of them have landed on reality TV. I got sucked into a "Tabetha's Salon Takeover" marathon and I am terrified to get another hair cut. At least I would be if i lived in some of the cities she featured on this show. Yowza...
I'm having trouble following Coach K's advice (yes, she knows I am a problem child) I know that our plan tells us not to exercise daily, but I am one of those people who cannot make it a routine if I don't do it daily. SO, I am trying to limit my workouts to 30 minutes daily. I do tend to take the weekends off, most of the time, so I have also vowed that IF I feel the need to work out on the weekend it will be stretching/toning or a leisurely walk. Working this week on avoiding BLT's, not the sandwich, although I need to avoid those too, but I'm talking about bites, licks and tastes, as they all add up and most contain carbs of some sort. So goodbye to you lick of brownie batter, farewell to you taste of hashbrowns and so long bite of pizza, you are no longer allowed and no longer part of my life. (For now anyway, when I hit goal/transition, maybe you'll be back in my inner circle)
