Operation Skinny Bitch

In my battle to lose weight, I have called in the big guns. I have started following Operation Skinny Bitch.

As the name suggests it is a support group for getting healthy. And gosh dangit I want to be a skinny bitch!!!

So wish me luck, and hopefully by 2009 I will be 30 pounds lighter.

Wii Mii – Fitness Update

Millhouse is a Wii hog!! I haven’t been able to keep up with my fitness regime because he hogs the Wii and plays tennis all the time. So yesterday after a ton of whining he let me on to the Fit. And can I tell you how I wish I hadn’t.

Here are our latest stats (keep in mind that we have only had the Fit for about a week now):

Millhouse -> -3.75 lbs
Meli -> -0.6 lbs

In a week Millhouse lost almost 4 pounds and I have yet to lose one!! I’m the one eating salad, in fact yesterday he ate McDonalds for lunch and I had a salad!!

WTH!!!

Wii Mii

We are now the proud owners of a Wii Fit. I was so excited to get it! I took it home and had Milhouse set it up right away. I couldn’t wait to play with it.

Now not so much.

It the past day the Fit has told me that I am a fat, old, out of shape blubber belly. So I am not impressed!

According to it I have the health age of 48!!! And so grossly out of shape that my Wii Mii most closely resembles a Teletubby than a person. I have set it up to help me lose 22 pounds in the next 3 months.

Let’s see how this goes.

Life is screwing up my diet!

I know that is a sorry excuse, and that I should have the drive and willpower to make some serious life changes. But I don't. I'm lazy and would really like to just take a pill and lose the weight.

But that ain't going to happen. I have to pull up my socks and really work at this.

And I have been trying. This morning I packed up a great breakfast, lunch and snacks. They were all healthy and well balanced. Then I was informed that my attendance was mandatory at lunch. So I forfeited my lunch and went out with the group. And that's when all my wholesome thinking went out the window. I had the option of having a Greek salad with some mineral water or something truly scrumptious ~ a pizza, hamburger, or a warm apple crisp topped with caramel and ice cream. I caved and had a personal pizza and the apple crisp. I couldn't help it, my eyes zoned in on the bad stuff and couldn't focus on the healthy fare.

Maybe I need glasses, or maybe I just need to stop going out for lunch either way I blame life because if it wasn't so busy I would be skinny.

I don’t do breakfast

So far my whole weight loss journey is going alright. I have started eating 5 times a day, and I try to get in some exercise. My only problem is breakfast. My mornings are really crazy and I usually don’t eat until around 9am. Apparently this is bad because I have been awake since 630am. According to people, I am supposed to eat within an hour of getting up.

Seriously!!

That ain’t gonna happen. Within an hour of me getting up I am on the road. So I am thinking maybe I should start making smoothies or something for the ride in. At least that way I have my first meal early in the a.m.

But I don’t know….

Weight Update

I now weigh

Dun dun dun

The same…..155lbs……nothing has changed yet. I was hoping for at least two pounds but no such luck.

NOT WANTED

1 Gazillion dollar reward
Keep these FAR FAR away from me!!

Drum roll please….

I can’t believe that I am going to do this but in order to give this weight loss a real effort; I have to be honest with myself. So here goes

*steps on scale*

Wow! That’s way more than I expected. It turns out that I weigh 155 pounds. Definitely quite a bit heavier than my pre-pregnancy days, hell quite a bit heavier than my post pregnancy days! Right after I had Destructo I was down to 145. I weigh now what I weighed when I was seven months pregnant.

I definitely feel crappy right now, but hey this is incentive for me not to eat that chocolate bar and focus on getting healthier.

So I am going to revise my goal and timeline. I want to lose 30 pounds by December 22. 30 pounds in three months is possible, I just have to change everything I know…
