a better week.

here is the picture from christmas day that sent me oVER the edge.
oh wouldn't it be nice to say i was still pregnant.... oh but look... there's my son in the little green outfit... currently NO longer in my stomach.
well hell damn.

anyhow,
a week later and things are on the up and up...
i feel pretty damn good.


whole wheat everything, more veggies, soymilk, fruit, fat free yogurt, wasa, salmon, grilled chicken. i've really been trying. not necessarily focusing on portion control just yet. but just making the switch... the inside of my fridge looks prettier. and i put a sign on my fridge from a weight watchers ad in a magazine that says, DIETS ARE MEAN. God aren't they... but i'll tell you what else is mean. the thoughts in my head when i look at that Godforsaken PICTURE. ughhh.





i've been running. well, run/walk-ing. doing a program called Couch to 5k. i'm up to running 90 seconds and walking 2 minute intervals for about 20-25 minutes or so. and yesterday i wanted to see if i could run longer without actually dying. and made it a little over 4 minutes!!!! its the small things that are becoming the most satisfying..oK!? the next step is to walk 90 seconds then run 90 seconds and then do 3 whole minutes of each!! why am i scared! i know i can do it.


i feel better exercising. of course i do.... who wouldn't. i'm also trying to add some strength training to the mix... bringing back the old ball and weights and doing the Core Secrets dvd's. Well, i've done it once. but i'm going to try to run every other day and then do the dvd's in between. as much as possible.





and also, i signed up for weight watchers online because i would like to give up the food's that Best Life suggests giving up... but I need portion control-- as mentioned earlier. and points seem like the best way. so i can do both. and LIVE ON both in a manageable way..
this is what i'm giving up by the way....
regular soda
white bread
regular pasta
fried foods
anything with trans fats
high fat dairy.

take that to the bank.

until next time......
