Diets Suck: The Vlog

Hey yall, welcome to week two of Diets Suck! I did a vlog. Vlog = video blogging or blogging with your clothes on. Get it...because you are on video, hahahah. ok whatever, I think I'm funny. Beware...you have been warned. I'm weird and I sound like a 12-year old. I don't like watching myself, so I probably wont watch this, but I did test it to see if it worked, lol. Well then...onto the Vlog!

Now its your turn! Go write a post about anything and everything weight / diet related and link up down here. It can be a post you wrote on Monday, whatever, I'm not that picky. Or step outside your comfort zone and do a vlog!

Want some Ice Cream?

On my huge list of suggestions to vent about, I forgot to include husbands. Especially husbands who want ice cream. This is how is went down at my house last night....




A arrives home from work tired, and plops down on the couch. (He works evenings so the kids are already in bed.) I tell him I’m going to be on the computer for this and that. He interrupts with a “Whatever.”

~10 minutes later


A: “You know what would be good right now?”
C: “No, what?”
A: “Some ice cream. Do you want some?”
C: “No, I’m trying to lose weight, remember?”
A: “Oh. But I think some ice cream would taste good.”
C: “Ok. Whatever.  I'm busy.”

~5 more minutes pass


A: “Would you go get me some ice cream?”
C: “No. I don’t want to go out right now.”
A: “But I would go out for you if you wanted some.”
C: “But I don’t want some.”
A:  "Yeah, but if you did want some then I would go get it."

A: “I wish you would get caught up with your blog. I miss sitting on the couch and watching tv shows with you. You’re always on the computer blogging now.”
C: “I told you I was going to be on the computer tonight. You said it didn’t bother you.”
---side note: we don’t have a laptop, only a desktop that is in the same room as him---
A: “It doesn’t. It would just be nice to hang out with you.”


~10 more minutes…I finish adding MckLinky


C (feeling guilty): “Do you still want some ice cream?”
A: “Yes, I would love some! And why don’t you take the dog out before you leave, since you’re going out an all.”


So, I went to the store and bought only him a small container of ice cream. And I watched him eat the whole cookies and cream pint. I really like ice cream…The things we do for permission to blog a happy husband and my sanity love.

Flab to Fab!

I am very excited to participate with the Flab to Fab Blogger Challenge.  Ok, so I'm not an 'official' contestant...I didn't even know about it until to today.  I am totally pulling for my girl Jia though.  Oh, you didn't know you were my girl?  Well, I'm not a stalker, I promise.  I just read quietly sometimes...  But yeah, she is an amazing person!  When I read that you can compete even if not for prizes, I am all in.  And I mean ALL in...ALL 220 pounds of me.  Ick, can not wait to lose that!
My Stats:Height:  5'3"Weight:  220 lbsBMI:  39.0
Pictures:

This is me in January of 2004.  I think it is important for me to post pictures of what I looked like in the past so I know I can reach that goal again.
















This is me in January 2010.  Wow, what a difference 6 years, 2 babies and a lack of self discipline can do.  Just so you know, it is really hard for me to post pictures of myself.  I hate the way I look, because in my mind's eye, I am that girl from 2004 fitting into my size 8 jeans, not tiny, but just right.  















Whew, I'd rather be behind the camera...  Well as anyone who has tried to diet knows, they suck!  Diets are hard.  Obviously I let myself eat what I shouldn't have, slacked off on exercising and made bad decisions.  I don't expect to be perfect in my quest to lose the weight.  So, I was thinking of having a day for anyone and everyone to vent about diets, food, your coworker who eats candy everyday and is a size 4, the pastries in the breakroom that you really really wanted.  What do yall think?  Do you wanna play along?  I'm thinking we have a "Diets Suck.  Complain here" day on Thursdays.  It is far enough that you have stuff to complain about from the week, plus you can see the weekend and fun nights with lots of food on the horizon.  Oh, and Thursdays are the day that our break room is piled high with Panera Bread pastries and cookies and bagels and muffins and ... I will eat them, lol!  Thanks for your input!  and I hope you join me and Flab to Fab in becoming healthy again!
