ok so i have been MIA. sorry. Well the FBD is moving along. We are getting use to the swing of things. Total weight loss so far is about 6 pounds. I can't say that i am really happy with that. I had expected more. I am in full swing of my Moon time right now so the diet is pretty much out the window for a day or so. I am headed out of town this weekend with some friends from church, so who knows what I will be eating.

No worries.

I have been busily getting ready for girlz weekend which is coming up in just a few weeks. I have also been obsessed with my webkinz stuff.

Honestly, I have also been in a funk, and avoiding life. If you can't be honest in your blog, then what good is it? Am i right?

So I am hoping after this little retreat I will be back to "real life" and moving forward. If not, then hopefully girls weekend will snap me back!

my head is like a plate of speghetti

so, last night my DS woke me from a very deep sleep and a lovely dream to tell me he couldn't sleep and there was a spider in his bathroom that he was trying to catch. thankyouverymuch!

my brain started spinning and hasn't stopped. I have my DD "ROCK STAR" bday party. We have a friend who is a rock star and we would LOVE to hire him to do something at the party for entertainment...but what?!?!?! i am asking everyone I know to think about it.

i also have a baby quilt banging around in my head, but that has a while. It is trying to develop and "get out" but so far I haven't had time to sit down and plan it.

I have embroidery i NEED to be doing for girls weekend mid FEBRUARY!!! and a stack of library books to go through.

not to mention this new diet i need to be making a shopping list for! Two birthday parties this weekend, a trip to spend your whole check whole foods, and a Quilter's bag i want to make for myself!

wow...if you could burn calories simply by thinking, I'd never have to worry about my weight!

eye candy...

yesterday, day three....

well i had a "walking date" but it got cancelled, not by me!!

so i went out with my BFF to do a bit of shopping.

i HAD to pick up these new fabrics at JoAnn's.....

I also must confess that i deviated from my "induction" but did stay on the "diet". It was the best day so far!!! lol

I had a chick fil la grilled sandwich and side salad...that comes with...sunflower seeds! a MUFA! YES!
don't know what i am going to do with these fabrics, but when is that ever a problem? I think i just collect them! They are so lovely. I need to get my hiney in gear and kick it working on my "prizes" for girls weekend...and there is another baby quilt brewing in my head...hmmmmm.

always

RUN, do not walk...here and check this out! you will not regret it! also, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

and now a break from dieting

Here for my Year in review of 2009, i decided to try and show some craft that i did each month. I wasn't always successful, but i tried to show some things i have put together through the year. I really hope that 2010 is a rockin' crafty year for us all!

day 2

well, i had a few bad moments yesterday where i wanted to eat the entire kitchen. I grabbed a 'forbidden' coke zero and left the house to go see a BFF and plan some future sewing. As is typical the first few days of a new diet, i am cranky. I want my mono-gluco-chemically altered-sodium-high fructose-processed foods!

deep breath.

ok, so I weighed this morning. I know i shouldn't have. but i just wanted to see. I had lost almost 3 pounds! so maybe that momentum will get me through the next 3 days.

Lunch today was carrots...ugh. sorry Guys. I am not a fan unless you are covered in ranch dressing or in some yummy concoction. The turkey and string cheese were most excellent though! I borrowed the BIG FBD(flat belly diet) book from my friend to get some additional info and recipes out of it. So what's worse than the first few days of a diet? the first few days of a diet and having to plan meals and look for recipes....basically think about food all the time!

I know i am a whiner. But this is keeping me from busting into that bag of chocolate chips in the freezer! hey is IS a MUFA! (monounsaturated fatty acids)

I did ask for prayer from a few people. I was shocked that several of them admitted to me that they are food addicts too. I also had a few people tell me that they were starting diets as well. I feel a bit better knowing i am not going it all alone. Though Satan has certainly thrown all he could in my way in the past 48 hours to try and get me to binge! Maybe that is how i know i am doing the right thing!

back on the wagon...day 1

I don't know how long this will last...me blogging about my weight loss. I have tried it before but just couldn't keep up. New year, new try. I have started , today, the Flat Belly Diet.

Breakfast was pretty good. Lunch..eeeehhh not jazzing on the Tuna without mayo to make it taste good. A little fishy for my tastes.

It is only 4 days...the first four days are "induction" and they are not fun. We will see how it goes. I am not married to this diet. I did not say "til death do us part" to it or make any vows.

I picked it because my BFF has had such good luck with it. DH is doing it with me as well. He is a doll! Maybe I struck out in the DNA lottery with my "child bearing hips" and chunky thighs...but i hit the jackpot when I got him!

Seriously....a PINT of grape tomatoes is A LOT to eat in one sitting!
