Let's See What We Can Do.....

Well, here it is, the second day of February. Fuck you, Groundhog and your shadow. I live in the desert. It's never winter here.

At this point, I am a whopping 196.4 pounds. That sounds like a lot, but to me, it's amazing to be under 200 pounds for the first time in 5 years. It's kind of nifty to have my jeans falling off me. Oh, and I have a waist! And I can shop at the Gap! Don't judge me. I love their t-shirts.

In June of 2010, I weighed 225 pounds. I've had ups and downs with this whole losing weight thing. I have this thing where I like to eat and I like to eat a lot. I love really fattening, disgusting foods. So now I'm training myself to eat better, healthier foods. It's tricky, but I've been doing it. Lots of veggies and lean proteins, etc.

Until last night. When I went through the drive-thru and got myself a hamburger and fries. I scarfed it down. My body screamed at me "Fuck you, bitch!" and everything came right back up. I hate throwing up, so lesson learned. My body wants me to be eating beautiful things and drive-thru just isn't beautiful. And I'm guessing my body has gotten so used to the vegetables and lean proteins, it just couldn't handle that whole hamburger and fries thing.

Along with the diet, I have been exercising. So far, my version of cardio is dancing around my office like an idiot with my music blasting. Jackson finds this to be incredibly hilarious. Thanks, son. I'm also doing "Fab Ab February, which I pinned on Pinterest from a friend. Yesterday, I went to do sit-ups and my daughter cracked up. "I can do sit ups!" "Well, la ti freakin' da, darlin! I can't!" I love the support I am getting from my spawn.

I had to Google how to do a plank. No, seriously, I did.
I'm not going to discuss my goal weight yet. Mostly because my goal weight is still above what is considered a healthy weight for my shortness. We all want to be healthy. But I'll be honest. 90% of the reason I am doing this is because I hate the way my body looks and I want to look fierce when I get a divorce. Yeah, I said it. I'm a hot mess. I might as well look pretty freakin good being a hot mess.
