Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 06 January 2015

I haven't been on here in forever. I've been logging, exercising, and being relatively accountable. At least as accountable as you can be with 3 kids. You try saying no to a 2 yr old feeding you chips. If it weren't enough they taste good its the only time he wasn't running through the house in nothing but a diaper pretending to be a puppy. Just like the only time he wasn't whining he wanted down at the store was when he was feeding me popcorn chicken. Luckily I'm back at work now so the only person feeding me during the day is co-workers. They seem to stop at 1 chocolate covered pretzel though and don't sit in front of me seeing how many they can shove in my mouth at one time while they giggle with delight.

Good news is I've gone back to tracking my calories burned. According to the little dohicky I burn between 2200-2500 calories a day. I figure so long as I eat less than I burn I'm doing alright. I'm not sweating the chocolate covered pretzel or coffee with cream. So long as I workout that day, ate some fruits and veggies, and still have a 500 calorie deficit I consider it my prize for the day. So long as I'm not double fisting m and ms I'm doing better than I was before.. not that I will admit to double fisting m & ms.. or chocolate chips.. or sneaking rum balls in the middle of the night. We won't even mention the driveby stealing of ramen noodles from the preteen. It's not my fault she left her lunch unguarded.

See? You didn't miss much. Life is still insane. I'm still going nuts. The only change is I'm wearing a dohicky and it tells me how many cookies I can sneak without them going to my rear end. I love dohickys. If I'm still wearing it in 3 months i think I will get a fitbit. Because dohickys are fun. And that one's waterproof.. I've already stumbled into the shower with this one still strapped to my arm. Luckily I noticed it before the second verse of the lego movie song "Everything is Awesome" Listen to it. I dare you. You'll get it stuck in your head too and suddenly find yourself standing in front of the copier at work singing it.. out loud... while you try to figure out how to make copies without changing the toner because well.. I changed the toner last time and it's not my turn.
