Grrr.. rumble rumble...

That's what my belly has been doing most of the day. I'm not hungry..but for breakfast I had some Fiber One cereal... maybe a little to much fiber. ick!

I'm giving myself a big ol' pat on the back right now. Other than the to much fiber feeling.. I did pretty good with eating today. And this evening after work, I cooked dinner, did some major cleaning in the kitchen, moved onto laundry, pulled some weeds around the house..you get the point.

Getting enough rest/sleep at night is important for a healthy lifestyle. I'm still working on that. I have a sit down job..I find myself making excuses to get up and walk around, which isn't a good thing when my desk is piled high with work. Today was my first day back to work from vacation and I could not sit still...which makes me behind on what I need to get done. When I had a regular working out routine, I slept pretty good at night. And with what seems like a million and one things to do around the house, I'm compromising... for now. Working out for getting things done around the house. I think it's going to be a good compromise..cause after all I accomplished today..I'm pooped.

I'm back...

I just returned from a week of vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC. Had tons of fun with the family, and got a bit to much sun. My "eating healthy" was hanging out the window for fresh air for the week. Who can resist "River City" an awesome burger joint that I swear is the absolute best!.. We ate there not once..but twice! This place is really unlike any other restaurant...the inside and the outside is covered with license plates from all over... funny ones..plain ones, from all over the U.S. And every last inch of the place is covered with signatures.. "Susie was here-09" So and So loves ?? and on and on.. and it cracks me up to go in and just sit down and start eating peanuts and throwing the shells on the floor...I'm easily amused..haha And on the way out the door is a huge chalk board that says.."Diet Later".....then of course I felt guilty for eating what i ate..

Each day I would put on my one piece black swimsuit (totally boring, I know)..and at first I had issues with taking off my cover-up, it is not easy to swim with a cover-up on.. but by Thursday...I was letting all my stuff hang out and I didn't care. I kept telling myself..who cares what these people think..it's not like I'm ever going to see them again in my life..OR "hurry..get in the pool. I confuse myself.

Swimming is good exercise, and I would like to find someplace that does water aerobics...exercising seems so much easier in the water..and I don't have to wipe the sweat and tears.

Blowing off some steam..

Confessions..

I hate dieting, I hate exercising, I hate sitting down to a fried chicken, stuffing, mashed potato, corn on the cob meal and thinking.."now don't over do it", or "you should really only take about half of those potato's". I'm not good at weight loss...I'm good at cooking all the not so good for you meals.

I like salad..with ham, shredded cheese, boiled egg whites, and maybe a few shredded carrot's. But darn it! I'm not about to eat it every day or even every other day. The contents of my salads aren't the best..I refuse to eat tomato (snot rings), cucumbers-ick!, and any type or kind of olive reminds me of beer.

I love a good greasy pepperoni with extra cheese pizza, and not just one or two pieces..I like to eat it until I feel I'm about to explode.

Yougurt..is OK..but seriously..how many types are actually out there that are good for you and can satisfy? ..yogurt makes my mouth feel dry.

I'm sitting at the lunch table with friends... I'm having a tuna salad sandwich, with celery sticks .. They are having a cheeseburger with the works, fries, cheesecake.. the next friend is having an over-sized piece of lasagna with garlic bread and chocolate cake...and don't forget the next friend with the huge submarine..what is wrong with this picture? I'm fat and they're skinny..bitches!
