Had a good day yesterday--forced myself to work out early in the day--knew I would only make excuses later if I didn't get it done. Did 50 minutes on the elliptical and then continued with the scrubbing of the kitchen floor--which trust me--is an upper arm workout.

What I ate:
life cereal and skim milk for breakfast
vegetable beef soup for lunch (which I spilled on Chris's iPod--oops)
egg casserole for dinner--super fattening so I only ate about 1/2 a cup and I had some watermelon
I woke during the night--actually the dumb dog woke me to go out-he's worse than a newborn--and I really needed something sweet so I went with 3 spoonfuls of sugar free cool whip

I've started a weight loss blog with some other Moms from my kids school--kind of like weight-watchers, but free and you don't have to go anywhere. I am super excited about it---not only will I have to report my weight each week, but I also have the option to bitch or celebrate or commend someone else on their efforts. I am also using google calendar with Erin, Sean, Emmy and others to keep track, now that Chris explained it to me.
I've had to revisit my goals as I am obviously not going to be able to lose 25 pounds in the next two weeks. I've pushed back my long term goal to my birthday (3/24) and reduced it to 70 pounds total lost--it sounds like a cop out but on second consideration I think 148 is a little too skinny-- 155 sounds more realistic.
So my first short term goal is 16 pounds by the time we go on vacation (7/25)
I am going out to happy hour with some friends tonight so I am conserving calories today in anticipation of that--not the "Zak" way to do things, but I'm doing it anyway.

Game. Back. On.

So Little-Miss-Perky-Poo-I-Work-Out-Every-Day-And-ALWAYS-Measure-My-Food-Like-A-Good-Little-Girl is seriously pissing me off. Mainly she's just making me feel incredibly stupid for not being weight loss motivated and failing miserably at this attempt. (A fact for which I am eternally grateful-- but I'm SO not telling HER that)
So hear this Miss Perky Poo:
Game Back On. I am in like Flynn. And if you can't handle the heat, then stay out of the kitchen. You shouldn't be in there anyway. And unlike Miss Perky who has the full force of a personal trainer behind her, is single and has no children--I'm going to do this ALL. BY. MYSELF.
Miss Perky Poo wherever you are you should be afraid. Very, very afraid.
'Cause Mama Wags is Losing it Again. And this time it's personal.

I think Erin may win.
