Daily Check in #2
Hey!
Had a pretty good day. Let's see where I'm at now:
Weight to lose: 45
Minutes of Exercise: 35
Walked around the block at work, 20 minutes. Too hot, though, so I may switch to evening around where I live. Weights and yoga, 15 minutes
Wins: Oi! I got into work and there was a special birthday breakfast for a co-worker. Honest to God, it looked like a convenience store! Bagels, cream cheese, mini cream cheese pastries, packaged pastry, cupcakes, fruit scones, Del Taco egg burritos. Holy Diet Nightmare, Batman! So what did I have? A plate full of fruit! Yeah, I'm that good.
Losses: Ok, a mini cream cheese pastry accosted me in a weak moment when I was coming in from my walk. And half a fruit scone jumped into my mouth on the way to the restroom.
C’est la vie!

Must have lost a lot of water. That's never a bad thing, unless you're lost in the desert.

Daily Check In #1
Hey!
Weight to lose: 46 lbs
Calories consumed: 1500?
Minutes of Exercise: 50: 35 walking DVD (Leslie Sansone) and 15 weights and yoga
Wins: Using the walking DVD again. The Husbands' back is better, so we'll start walking again tomorrow night and I might walk at work as well.
Losses: Too much junk food still at home calling to me. Didn't really plan out dinner tonight so probably ate too much
Went grocery shopping tonight and got lots of salad fixings and yogurt and waters.
The process continues...

The WW Alternative
Hey!
I am dismayed and need to go public with my weight. Normally, I would go to Weight Watchers at this point in my Scale Wars but, the economy being what it is and me not convinced that at some point soon I will not be going back to part time at the Dreaded Day Job, WW is in the Luxury column right now. So, this blog will have to do.
I am a comfort eater and a stress eater and just a joyous, fill my face with food eater, lately. And not much of an exerciser, either, lately. Consequently, I am 46 pounds overweight on a 4’10” frame. My movement is impaired, I get tired easily and I feel generally unhealthy.
So, dear readers, you will be subjected to a Bridget Jones-style diary of the adventures of Mare’s Weight Loss.
Here is my Goal Skirt:

Here is my Goal Skirt:
This kicky little skirt is my fave in all the world. I usually wore it with white tights and deep orange suede boots, with a variety of tight tops. I don’t think I can get one thigh in it right now… I’ve hung it in the bedroom to see every day and night.
You wouldn’t think eating less and moving more would be so hard to do. My intentions have been good but obviously the voices are fighting me. The little voice that says, oh, eat. It’s ok. You walk out to the kitchen to get the food-that's burning calories. You’re good! And the other voices, the Girl Scout Cookies voice, saying eat the whole sleeve of Thin Mints. The McD’s voice, whispering The Big Mac isn’t really THAT big. The chorus of foodie voices from my pantry, chanting Eat Me, Eat Me! No earplugs will silence them.
Only my own inner motivation will enable me to ignore the voices, since they will never be silenced. At my thinnest, they were still a little buzz in the back of my brain.
So, welcome to Mare C’s Diary. Here’s what I’ll be reporting each day:
Weight to lose:
Calories consumed:
Minutes of Exercise:
Wins:
Losses:
Maybe this will encourage you to report on your recently unattainable goal, be it weight loss, carving out creative time for yourself, going back to school, whatever.
Here is one of my favorite quotes to get us started:
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow”.

Giving Octomom a Run for Her Money!
Hey!
Seriously, does one have to be told not to jump into Polar Bear enclosures? Really??!?! This, excuse my French, but there is no better word for this woman, fucktard jumped over a fence and a bunch of thorny greenery, then dived into the polar bear exhibit at a German Zoo. Was she thinking they were just big teddy bears?? Honestly, she’s lucky to still be alive. Anyone with half a brain knows that polar bears are dangerous. They are not sweet little stuffed teddy bears/puppies/kitties. They are predators in the wild and when they see a woman swimming toward them, since they aren’t familiar with the word “fucktard”, they substitute “lunch”…
Get the full, ridiculous story here:
