Tipping The Scales

Did you really think I was going to get on the scales??? Not me buddy, think about it, scales, bathroom, razor blades, distraught 38 year old overweight woman? Doesn't make for a pretty picture does it? LOL

I woke up this morning and put together a smoothie for hubby and me. Then I got his lunch together and got dressed to go walking. I had made coffee for him and it was all I could do to get a cup but I am trying to wean myself. I went walking and it felt great, but by the time I was finishing up my stomache started rumbling and I was beatin' feet to the bathroom. I drank some of my "cleansing tea" last night before bed and it was working. Sometimes, it will just be violent and others it doesn't do that to me but I tell you what, I am cleaned out now. (I know, another TMI moment).

I brewed some green tea (is it just me? or does it taste kind of funky?)but I added a couple of spearmint leaves from my garden to it and now it tastes wonderful. After my "little trip" to the bathroom, I had to lay down for a bit...I crashed for an hour and a half! I woke up drank some more tea, an 8 oz. bottle of water and then later a small portion of baby carrots, which I had to share with my cairn terrier. Have you ever seen a carrot eating dog? I just got done eating some roasted soy nuts and feel very full. All the while my kids had been snarfing chocolate chip pancakes my oldest daughter cooked. I wanted 1, just one, sooooooo badly! I wanted to eat one, all drizzled over with syrup! It was cruel and inhuman punishment! Chocolate, I NEED CHOCOLATE! Oh the injustice of it all! (insert woman wailing and weeping here.)

I didn't do my push ups, and crunches etc. but we are going to the Recreation Center later so I will get a lot more workout time in. I really like the recumbant (sp?) bike and the weights and the olympic size pool although I am not a very good swimmer. The kids have all had swimming lessons and I am so glad of that, next fall we will start back. Right now, it's summertime and the pool is crowded. I like getting the kids there during the fall and winter, we homeschool and can avoid the rush.

Well, I have a ton of work to do before we go to the Center and I need to go thru my son's scout clothes to make sure he will be ready for Scout Camp next week. I will probably write some more later today.


God bless and hide your chocolate~ katcha
