up early and still not feeling like I wanted to do anything but crawl back into bed. Which I did.

Had mt dew at work
lunch was half a bagel dry. 6 crackers and a thick slice of cheese.
Dinner will be Piperande tonight! with fresh bread and no noodles!

Can't rightly say what happened last week.
I found myself not wanting to ride the bike. I did finish the 42 days. But then did only 1/2 the bike ride or 1/2 my abs.
I ate ok
I drank far too much soda both caffeinated and not
was crabby and wanted nothing more but to hide in my loom room and weave.
up early this morning and discovered I still just wanted to weave.
had a mock sloppy joe and glass of milk for lunch
dinner tonight is probably the same
did not have lunch
might take myself for a walk when I get home. Maybe I just need to get out and get the wind in my hair.

wow almost at my self imposed ending for bike riding. It works well as the weather has changed enough for real bike riding to occur, which means I will get more weaving done.
was mostly good over the weekend. Did indulge on saturday in artichoke dip and bread. Soda levels kept down, lots of water and stretching.

okay today is the 15th and here are the figures
weight:212 +1lbs I am might frustrated with this
chest:42 same as last month
waist:39 same as last month
hips: 45 same
thigh: 23 same
calf: 17 same
bicep 12 1/2 must have been wearing a thick shirt last month.

I am working out harder than even and cant seem to make headway with my weight- in fact I am gaining. WTF? I feel like getting a batch of weight loss drugs to just drop 20 pounds by june. I know that is not the way to lose it but I am might frustrated and this just seems to keep moving slower. Maybe I am eating more at meals? I will adjust my portions again.
Okay evaluate maybe change up my eating again. I have started eating more for lunch than I had been. I just opted for the yogurt and fruit + a protein lunch. Need to start making my favorite salad for every other day. Breakfast needs to be either a poached egg or cottage cheese.
Need to keep water as the drink of choice. 2nd mt dew or soda must be out of my life.

03/14/11

Up early and out to the grasslands for an event on saturday far too many sodas throughout the day and into the night got home around 1:30am and then lost an hour. Have I ranted my disgust at daylight savings time? grrrrrrrrr and who gave the president W the right to change it? WTF?

will probably have a third soda today as we will be playing d&d- maybe I will talk myself into making tea instead. Somehow I feel less guilty about drinking tea, even though I use about the same amount of sugar. Or maybe I will just buckle down and say no to myself and drink just water. Don't laugh- it could happen. :)

Interesting side effect of the crunches, I find myself sitting up straighter. Which is good as I have a tendency to hunch my back. So yeah!
breakfast was tea and two pieces of peanutbutter toast

yep even though crampy got up and did what I needed to do. I feel better for the exercise but would have rather been curled under a blanket in dreamland. Had big glass of water
had a cheese sandwich for breakfast and more than a couple handfuls of reeses pieces as I am still feeling a protein craving. Probably would have been healthier if I just went and ate a piece of ham. But there I am.
had soda
lunch today is leftover tofu with garlic sauce and rices and mt dew and water
dinner tonight is cauliflower and potato curry over basmati rice and more water

03/01/11

and all the days from the 25 did my bike rides and crunches
was good with soda but crap with food. I wanted fatty foods, found myself craving ham so eat a bunch of peanutbutter. then bought reeses pieces to get even more and I think I have final OD'ed on them.
Had deep fried food far too much during the weekend and feel massively bloated.
Will work on detoxing this week.
am menstrual right now so won't start too soon!
