For the first time in a while I stepped OFF the scale smiling. Finally at the lowest weight I've been since 2007! Not sure how I did that. Certainly wasn't through exercising.
So of course what is the first thing that I do with this new found skinniness? I eat my maypo, go for a joy ride, and end up drinking a huge cup of coffee with lots of creamer and probably a hot chocolate in it. I then washed that down with a medium sized Shamrock Shake from good ol' McDongles. Is it mint? All I know is its green. Anyway that's 550 calories (or more) of whatever that flavor is goodness! Don't worry, I skipped the cherry.
I felt I needed some salt also so I had a small fry. Only what, 250 calories? So in the span of 3 hours of finding out that I was finally only 3 or 4 pounds away from my goal weight I managed to consume around 1,000 calories! When I got home and then felt I should eat something nutritious I had a bowl of carrot sticks with hummus. And 2 packs of chocolate covered pomegranite thingies (100 calories each pack). So we're up to probably 1,300 and its not even 2:00. I'm sure I'm forgetting some snack in there somewhere. When my husband came home asking what was for dinner I told him that I had been bingeing on fatty high calorie crap all day and that he was on his own unless he wanted to join me for a Chobani and glass of water. OH yeah I drank a cup of that nasty ass matcha sensa tea. I seriously wanted to puke it right back up (the tea, not the food.) but forced myself to finish it. Here's hoping it "ramped up my metabolism by at least 30%" DR OZ!!! I need every percent I can get with this sweet tooth! By 9:30pm I was nibbling on Dollar General pita chips and more hummus. I really do not know how to feed myself, can you tell?
Today started out good but then nose dived around 1:30. I got on the scale again to see if my deeds had done me in, but no the scale said the same happy weight as yesterday. I vowed to keep my intake down to something around human instead of polar bear and went on doing as much housework as possible to keep my hands busy.
Then lunch time hit. I hate that we have to eat! If I didn't HAVE to eat I might like it more. I hate thinking of things to eat too. Lunch! Bah Humbug!!!
I thought, I'll eat healthy and have some Progresso Chicken soup (80 calories) and a small bowl of tricolor pasta with "smart" butter and parmesan cheese. Problem was, it was after 1:00 and I had last eaten at 7:30am! All that housework had made me darn hungry!
My hands shook as I filled the pan with water for the pasta. First I had to wait for the water to boil, and then another 10 minutes for it to cook! That seemed like it was an hour away. Frantically I searched the cupboards for a "snack" to hold me over. Completely out of carrot sticks. CRAP. I opened the freezer and there, like a rose among dandelions, was a forgotten bag of frozen Neuman-o's. Mint ones.
6 or 7 Neuman-o's later my pasta was done. I looked at it, then looked at the Neuman-o's, and really wanted to just finish off the bag and say to hell with lunch. But no, I put them back in the freezer and proceeded to eat my lunch. That was 2 hours ago and I still have my jeans unbuttoned. Looks like I'm skipping real dinner again tonight and stopping at the grocery store to stock up on carrot sticks. I'm a little scared of what tomorrow will bring! And now I am off to bring Alicia to ballet school and be surrounded by girls who really CAN control themselves. Yippee!
