Okay...so no...not really.. But wait! There's more! Alright...okay...so I have nothing other than the same old to offer when it comes to weight loss advice.. Buuuuuuuutt... I have lost almost 24 pounds in 3 months and I have only changed a couple of things. Well more like several things, but only a couple that pertain to what goes in my mouth (I'm talking food here for the pervs!!!) Back in October my son Evan, just turning 2 at the time, broke the only scale we had in our home. I threw it in the trash and it was just never a need, so I didn't buy a new one. I also thought what good does it do to step on a scale every morning when I know the numbers won't change, because I am doing nothing to change them. I was eating like crap, treating my body like crap, and really was a poor example of health to my children at the time. To Read My Excuses Look Below Or Bypass To The Next Paragraph: 1) I was being lazy . 2) The husband and I were struggling financially a...

I have been slacking so bad when it comes to fitness. I started a full time data entry job about 9 weeks ago, and after working and having to come home and take care of business here...well I'll make my excuse now...I'm too tired to workout. Been eating poor...here's my next excuse...because I haven't made the time to plan well balanced meals. Tonight after looking at myself with disgust, I have set my alarm. I am going to get up at 6:30am every morning and go for a walk/jog. The kids will be asleep so I can't use them as an excuse, and starting the day off on a healthy note will help me be more conscious of my food decisions. I'm excited to get back into the groove of things, and sad I have been putting it off so long. So say a prayer I don't hit snooze on that silly little alarm.

We went out to Applebee's for dinner tonight..and I rarely eat out simply because it is not in the budget plus I hate to waste my calories! However I figured it has been a while and it would be nice to treat myself. Before we left for the restaurant I got online and researched their menu..I love Google! They have what I call diet friendly foods..which are dinners that are only 550 calories a piece. HOORAY!!! There were only a few to choose from but they all sounded yummy. I was torn between salad, steak, chicken, shrimp..there are quite a few. I decided on the sirloin with garlic shrimp, garlic potatoes and broccoli. The steak was 7oz and a recommended serving size is 4oz (not to mention the 6 shrimp), so that was a bit much. However there was about a cup of broccoli and 1/2 cup of potatoes, which is pretty accurate. When trying to spot good portion sizes at a restaurant think like this: 1/2 plate veggie, 1/4 starch, 1/4 lean meat. That is basically what I was served. ...

This is a sensitive subject, even more so for is ladies, the bathroom.. Dun-Dun-Dun! *cue scary music* But in all seriousness this really is something we never want to discuss. I know I never did..not until it all changed drastically. When I was eating whatever I wanted and however much I wanted I was never 'regular' and fought constipation regularly. When it came to urination there were smells, colors, things it shouldn't be. Ever had any of those problems? Of course you have! We are human its part of the package unfortunately. But one thing I have learned is all the ugliness of it is 100% diet related. If you put garbage in it..your body will put garbage out of it! As I said before the first thing I did was started downing water..practically drowning in it. Well I started peeing every 5 minutes, literally. It started out (TMI) yellow, then pale yellow, and finally clear. It went from having odd smells to no smell. Amazing in my opinion..no more stinky pee! Not to men...
