Thank you Mr. Paul for bringing the little push this afternoon!! 45 minutes on the elliptical--so not how I wanted to spend my evening--but I feel so good about myself right now! I'm sweaty and I smell, but I feel great!
What did I eat today??
raisin bran and skim milk
pretzel chips
a peaches and cream parfait (it's low fat--actually it's surprisingly good)
water
1/2 grilled chicken breast
Caesar salad with orzo and a little bacon--low fat dressing
steamed green beans
water
Oh Happy Day!! I'm going to be skinny!! Well, not skinny--average I'd say. I don't think I can pull off skinny.
So speaking of skinny--there's this girl in my chemistry class--I hate her. I barely know her, but yet I hate her. She EATS from the time class starts until we leave. She goes out in the hall during lab to eat because we can't have food in the lab. And you know where I'm headed with this, right?? Yeah--she's about a size 0. Her jacket today was an XXS. I didn't even know they made XXS. She (and her metabolism) can lick the sweat from my eyeballs. Which incidentally are currently sweating.
So Erin and I are "game on" for getting skinny and hot. I say "bring it" sister.
And Chris informs me that Sean and Emmy have thrown down similarly, although I wasn't aware. And I don't think Emmy needs to lose weight, but then again, I've never seen her naked. Unfortunately, after my "got into Nursing school" drunken escapade she can't say the same. Apparently I showed everyone my boobs. Sorry about that.
So I'm going to give it a few days before I weigh in. Let's say Monday for the weigh in. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm just hoping to be back to what I had lost before--I think I was at 223, I'll have to consult my mirror--that's where I write my weight.
Thanks for listening!

I had a good day today! Exercised for 47 minutes, and have eaten only diet friendly foods! I threw away the Easter candy--it was possessed by the devil anyhow--and filled my Brita water pitcher like a good little girl. I resisted the temptation to eat popcorn chicken for lunch with Sam and instead had a lean cuisine.
Ate a breakfast bar, my lean cuisine, and for dinner had one slider, one fat free hot dog, about a tablespoon of garlic olive oil pasta and corn.
I may have a weight watchers sherbet bar this evening if I feel like it.
I am very bummed that the likelihood of making my first weight loss goal (24 more pounds by the end of the school year--that's 9 weeks) is slim to none, but I'm trying not to let that get me down. I'll just have to do what I can and reevaluate goals if need be.
I stood naked in front of the mirror this morning--YUCK! if that's not incentive, I don't know what is. Chris has given his word that he will push me out of bed tomorrow morning (if need be) to exercise. The cooler thing is that he said he'd go for a run while I am exercising. This would be so much easier if he were doing it with me. I can say that because he doesn't read this blog, so I'm not creating guilt in him. It doesn't work anyway. I hope he keeps his word. All I need is a little push. I'm horribly competitive so all I need is some competition. Erin, you in?? Sean?? I'm willing to put in money. . .
So I got invited to a party given by a friend I haven't seen since high school. I'm not going to go. I want to go, but I won't. It's just too embarrassing. I wish I felt better about my appearance, but I don't and I don't want to face people I haven't seen in 15 years. I was fat in high school and I weigh at least 55 pounds more than I did in high school, so. . . yeah, that's not going to happen.
So now I'm depressed, and fat, which it totally not the point of this, so Hooray me! for getting back on my horse!
I have to go now.

I still suck. I can see the wagon, but my fat ass is not currently on it. I'm GOING to exercise tomorrow. Right after I take Sam to school. I promise.

It's not going well. The Easter candy talks to me. Literally. "Eat me, Shannon. You KNOW you want to. Just one bite. . ." I'm trying to ignore it, but I'm failing miserably. I haven't exercised, I'm not eating right and I haven't had a bottle of water in 6 days. I suck. And someone left banana nut bread at my house. Which is always better with butter.
BUT--
Tomorrow is a new day and I've only gained back about 3 pounds so all is not lost.
I can do this. I will find the strength somewhere. I have to wear white scrubs in August. And a bathing suit in June. I have to lose weight. Plus, due to recent occurrences, I now have to divorce my husband so I'm thinking dating is going to be a whole lot easier if I'm skinny.
I'm disgusted with myself. and tired of the rain. Which has nothing to do with my weight loss efforts, it's just on my mind. And I have to go put the kids to bed.
