I want to wait about a week before starting anything crazy workout wise because I was killer sick last week, but B and I read an article about a diet called "the abs diet".
Anyone heard of it?

It's Official
The engagement is OFF and the married life is ON!
Still not quite all sunk in yet, but i'm still processing.
The week with family and friends helping us celebrate was amazing. I was so glad to see everyone.

Good Advice
Add Years to Your Life with 6 Changes
Source: Woman’s Day magazine
Doctors and scientists concur: the way you live your life today has a big impact on the number of years you have left to live and how fully you are able to enjoy them. Sally Brown, author of Live Longer: Your Whole Health Route to Longer Life suggests making one small change a week. This, she says, can make a big difference in the long run. She suggests these changes:
1) have more “date nights”
2) dance to stimulate mental and physical coordination,
3) sleep more,
4) stand with good posture,
5) visualize yourself as youthful, energetic, and
6) laugh and giggle.

One of those days...
It started out as one of those days.
The days when you get up, decide to not shower, do your hair or dress up at all.
Throw the hair back in a ponytail, put on your boyfriends baggy shorts and an old top you bought so long ago you don't even know where it came from.
Take the time to put lotion on your face (cuz after all we are just about 30, have to worry about wrinkles and sun damage)...
Then get to work and have someone say " You look nice today"?!?!?!
What the...
PS. Gained 3 lbs on the long weekend...Back to the drawing board.

MSN Articles on Emotional Eating
I know I do this sometimes... and sometimes I don't realize it till the whole bag of chips is gone.
This is also one of the reasons why I try to stick to sensible eating instead of calling it a diet. As soon as its a diet then its something I can cheat on, which gives you a thrill you know? Makes it Forbidden and all the more fun.
Emotional Eating:

One quote that really struck me as key..
"Many people report to me that as they're approaching their goal weight they often sabotage themselves and all of their efforts. They wonder why that is. It doesn't seem to make any sense. In fact, you may be able to relate to that experience.
The answer, time and again, proves to be simple: if you didn't have your weight to think about you might have to think about what's really bothering you, and that's very frightening, because I know that you feel powerless to change the things that really bother you. "

Monday Check-In
Feel decent today. Worked out "hardcore" Saturday morning.
Kept up with the small meals and threw a bit of a fit last night when Brandon was trying to plan too much food for dinner. Made sure to include Fruit with our starch and meat :)
Did go to the movies though and a bit of unconscious eating made the small popcorn go away before the previews were even done! After that I had brought a snack of pretzels to keep me from other bad things at the movie theater.
Weight today 166.5
Goals this week. Work out Monday, Wednesday Friday. Bring lunch to work 2 days.

Ugh
I suppose I should be thrilled with losing 6 lbs in 2 weeks. However, I'm just plain not.
I've been working out every fricking day. Hard. Not this easy 'workin in the garden' crap. ;) Ok - so it's not crap for you, but I'm in good shape already (yes, you can be fat and in good shape damnit). So for me to lose so slowly pisses me off. I'm eating really well. Though, I think my body really, really, really doesn't like carbs. I'm easing back on them now. Upping the protien and throwing out that damned Fat Smash diet. My Good God, I ate tofu for 9 days straight. No meat. All fruits and veggies. It was great and all. I felt good by the end of it. However, you'd think that I would have been down 10 lbs by then, but alas...
Needless to say I'm frustrated. REALLY Frustrated.
Anyway - if I keep up this way, but the time Christmas rolls around I might weigh 175.
