Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 23 May 2013

Poop Apparently fatsecret is trying to teach me a lesson. Fall off the wagon? Refuse to weigh in? Ha.. we will give you connection errors every third click! That will teach you!

I'm a cow. I graze. Constantly. My pants are tight. I feel blimpy. Luckily the no scale challenge allows me an excuse of not looking at the damage and not recording a giant spike. Hahahaha. This challenge may have been a bad idea for me... I could journal that I will be getting on the horse and I will succeed and I will get back on track.. bla bla bla. I've been chanting this to myself in my head every day. Today will be the day! It never is though.... Then I beat myself up and eat ice cream. So self? I got nothin! Try to apply the brakes between the spoon and your mouth. Attempt to workout in addition to everything else.

Stress.. could be a factor. Exhaustion.. could be another factor. An obsessional need for sweets.. is definitely a factor. The other day a major storm hit so we lost electricity from 6pm to 6am. Try milking cows with no electricity. Luckily the barn has a generator.. for the cows. Not us. Note to self... look into generators. Little man does not like storms, dark, flashlights, or any indication his bedtime may be before he's ready. The gardens? Decimated. The barn sign was planted.. it tipped over. The milk can planters.. knocked over. The garden put in with the help of the nighbor? Well it had a bunch of plastic that we pulled out. Apparently the plastic keeps the water out of the basement? Hubby says bye bye garden. I say hello gutters! We will see who's right. The veggie boxes? Things are popping up. I have no idea what's popping up. Could be a weed.. could be a veggie. 9 yr old decided to pick me dandelions and make a bouquet.. and leave them.. in the veggie garden. Hello massive amount of weed seeds. Really? Do people really have veggie gardens? I'm beginning to think they're a myth.

Lil man is turning 1 on the 30th. Hellllllllllo cake and bbq! Speaking of things I should avoid. I've found the freezy margaritas in a pouch. I'm in love. I may as well invest in stretch pants.

To anyone living nearby? Tie me up and throw away my cake. Long distance shaming is also welcome. I need to find my weightloss mojo. Here mojo mojo mojo! Oh.. and I'm insane. Running after kids, farmers, cows, and phantom veggie garden plans does that to a girl.

You are always here to put a little laughter in our days but it looks like you need some major MOJO to get you back on track lady. With everything you have going on at once, why don't you give yourself a break...honestly. Get the birthday cake and bbq over with and then regroup and try again. NOONE here ever said this was EASY and we all fall of the wagon at some point but since this is supposed to be a lifetime change for us then take your well deserving break, then dust yourself off and get back on the horse (or cow) however you want to look at it. :0) Hang in there!

Is it the no scale challenge challenging us? Yesterday I was ready to delete my profile here and never count another freaking calorie again. I took some of that agression out on my workout and am a little sore today and the video I did doesn't usually make me sore! Sounds like you have a ton going on too and I hear that evil sprite stress makes you hold on to extra weight especially in your belly (stupid cortisol). Like nala said, take a break, enjoy little man's first birthday, then jump on the wagon. . . I'll be hanging off the other side trying to decide if I'm going to jump on or let it run me over :)

Mojo a nogo!! Have no fear it will re-appear! Like any of your buddies would let you give up or throw in the towel!! Whatever! Finish having your cake and ice cream.. Then on June 1st you had better get your arse in gear! Because stretchy pants only stretch so far. I'm saying this all in fun!!

If you need a break take it, just don't forget to come back. It took until my kids were older before I could really focus on what I needed to do for myself. At least you're seeing that you need a change now and you've been trying, rather than when your youngest is 6 or 7. I waited and now I'm still learning how to eat better, but a little at a time and I'm getting there. You can do this, but no one can make you, you have to do it for yourself. If the stress is too overwhelming, maybe like nala said do the birthday thing then try again, that doesn't mean you completely give up and eat half the cake, you just don't stress about eating, enjoy yourself, and maybe the moderation will come with less stress. Good luck!! No stretchy pants!!

OMG, I saw those frozen things in the store the other day - it was like "STEP AWAY FROM THE STRAWBERRY DAQUIRI"...there was like 6 flavors, and I wanted to buy them all.......*sigh* bags of salad instead of the good stuff...

Oh my gosh, my friend gave me one of the frozen Mike's Hard Lemonades in a delicious berry-like flavor last weekend and I was like "YOU ARE EVIL!!!!" They are too delicious... Ugh.. I'm totally with you on the gardening - there's a flower garden in my front yard that has been there since I moved in and I never have a clue what's a flower and what's a weed when they start popping up, and then it just gets out of control...

You are better than you think. You have the willpower to avoid the cake and the frozen drinks. You can do it!!! I believe in you. Even if you aren't weighing, you know what you need to do, so do it! :)

Come on DFW!!! you wanted to be twiggie for the lil man's b-day party! What happened to that??!! Today is the day, you will be able to do this!!! Have a look at your pictures again at 185lbs and the your profile picture...you have come a long way in a short amount of time!!! You're amazing!! Sorry to hear about your garden! You were looking forward to growing some veggies to then sneek into the family's dinners! My little guy doesn't like thunderstorms either! He was trapped in the big cab tractor the other night with Nana when it came on and boy was he upset she said!!! Hang in there! Hang in there for all of us who enjoy your journaling! Hope today is a better day, keep going girl, you can do it!!!

Hang in there girlie. You definately still have your humor! Sorry all your pretty flowers and plants got stormed on. That sucks. Try to do one thing a day for you - like drink 1/2 your weight in water. Instead of a sweet try to grab a bottle of water - at least that is what I am trying to do because my cravings for sweets are out of line too. NO STRETCH PANTS ALLOWED!

Oh - go back to red wine - less calories than those fabulous margaritas in a bag. :)
