Scale Whoas

I'm working on being healthy . . . aka getting in shape . . . aka losing weight . . .

aka I weigh myself.

Yuck!

Today, the scale went the wrong way

I love how she looks worried!

The sad fact is when we diet the scale rules our day. It can determine whether she start the day happy or disappointed, whether we keep to the diet or toss it, and whether we wear a cute outfit or sweats again.

By we I mean "I"

Now if I was this cute little ball of chubbs

A 2 pound gain would be worth cheering about!!! Show off those rolls baby!

I'm not really going anywhere with this, just being observant and trying really hard to put on that cute outfit anyway!

The good thing today: I got actual sleep last night. Deep, comfy, uninterrupted sleep.

Big Macs are on Sale!

I'm working out HARD twice a day and eating healthy and recording everything on

Spark People.

I feel stronger and for the most part have more energy, but Big Macs are 2 for $3 right now!

Oh baby! My mom can sing the whole song that accompanies this burger, yes it has it's own song!

I had to give in and indulge, but I also had to write it down and take it out of my calories for the day . . . there wasn't much left ;)

In case you were wondering here is the nutrition info for a big mac!

Calories 540

Fat 29

Sat Fat 10

Carbs 45

Protein 25

Sodium 1040

The good thing today: would it be bad to say I thought it was worth every bite?

I actually had to crawl up my stairs!

I have a weight problem, a big one. Despite that I thought I was pretty strong. I lift grown men and run for 12 hours straight at work, that's not easy BTW.

Part of my weight loss plan is working out with a big focus on cardio, and in my travels I came across this:

You won't find any new age stuff, no yoga or Tai Kwan Do. Just good old fashioned workouts and Jillian's constant pushing.

I worked every major body muscle while doing cardio at the same time.

Yes, I wanted to puke but she certainly knows how to maximize her 20 minutes.

When all was said and done, I was gasping for air, sweaty and had to crawl up the stairs.

Granted I'm fatter than most of you, but good heavens that was a good workout!

I'm doing it for 30 days with a low calorie diet based on this pyramid

I'll let you know how it goes!

The good thing today: ibuprofen, LOTS of ibuprofen! Thank you Costco for selling it in bulk ;)
