Day 4

Today is workout day. Gag! I really don't like to workout. Well I don't like the thought of working out. Once I start, I feel really good and once it's done, I feel even better. But it's the thought of having to go downstairs and get on the machines and sweat, that's what I don't like. I even try to talk myself out of it with the promise of "doing it tomorrow". And as well all know, tomorrow never comes. What makes it even worse is the baby puked in my hair this morning, prompting me to have a shower. Once I have a shower, I feel complete. I feel finished, put together. But now I'll be sweating for at least 30 mins and I'll need to have another shower. Oh well, it's for the good of the cause. My cause.

I've been very impressed with my eating habits. I realize what needs to change and where I've been having my biggest problems. It's not so much the calories that I have been consuming. It's the carbs. OH THE CARBS! And I love me some carbs. But carbs turn into fat and fat loves to hide out in pockets in my body. I don't want that anymore. So it's time to keep a track of the carbs and keep them under wraps. I will also have to give up my beloved Paradise homestyle bread. Or severely limit myself to two slices a week. That stuff is delicious but LOADED with carbs. And so are tortillas. Here I was thinking that I was doing good by eating wraps for lunch and I come to discover that they are also heavily loaded with carbs. So all I'm left with is rabbit food. It's all good though, I do love salad and I need to start eating more of it. I was eating it on a daily basis last year. Looks like I've got to get me some more spinach as well. I love spinach. And broccoli. If you know me in real life, you know that I HATED any kind of veggie but as I've gotten older my tastes have changed and now I think I could almost be a vegetarian (I could never give up chicken, I love it too much).

The laundry is beckoning me once again from down the hall. It's a vicious cycle that never ends. I almost saw the end of the laundry pile yesterday, there was a brief glimmer but it didn't last long. Especially not with the way my kid barfs! HA!
