Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 21 September 2016

Week 2 of the worst experiment ever went um... horribly? By day 2 of the second week I had pretty much over analyzed myself to the point that I couldn't figure out if I was hungry, emotional, or just plain over thinking everything. I should have been a psychiatrist. I can totally picture myself next to a couch somewhere listening to everyone's problems and totally relating. It's probably good I didn't.. In college intro to psychology I diagnosed over half my friends and family with some sort of personality disorder.

Anyways.. the worst experiment ever would probably work wonderfully for someone who didn't work, didn't have kids, didn't live in a society where meals happen at defined times, and never heard of chocolate or ben and jerry's. I'm not that person. I got tired of eating cold eggs because I had to buy breakfast before 9 and I couldn't convince my body I was hungry until 10:15.

It's not all bad though. I got off the experiment. Spent a day or two convincing myself that my body was retarded and went on the low carb high fat road because it's worked every other time in my life that I've managed to stick with it. That is until I get pregnant... then all bets are off. Babies love carbs. In an effort to keep with it I even started an Instagram account so I can post daily little things without having to convince work that Fatsecret isn't a porn site and lets face it.. sometimes posting pictures of your latest thing cooked in butter with bacon wrapped around it is fun. Also, a picture is worth a million and one words.

Tonight's picture/inspiration.. Calf muffin tops. Yes that's a thing. I have them. I'm not lying. When I put on my barn boots the stretchy top that's supposed to snuggly hug your calfs so things don't get in there hugs mine so fiercely that my calves have.. muffin tops. My goal weight is where my calves don't have muffin tops. Ideally I would like them to be so slim and muscular and defined that things get into my boot. I welcome random silage and things. Just so long as I don't get a muffin top and a lovely little defined line where the boots once where for the remainder of the night.. seriously.. who needs more motivation than that??

I took a pair of heavy shears and cut my boots off at the tops, to avoid that problem!

Boo! I can't see the picture! Love your journal though. I could just visualize you listening to someone lying on a couch and then telling them about your dairy farm experiences!!

I would be careful if that low carb thing can make you pregnant. :)

Oh, oh. I don't want to risk it. Maybe I should have some toast 😉

I right-click on the image icon and open in a new tab...comes right up. And there are muffin tops! LOL! I actually ordered a pair of riding boots that had been modified with an elastic insert to go over 'heavier' calves. Even then, they were tough to get on and off. Oh, and as an FYI, I have been seeing things about how your baby's metabolism/propensity for obesity, is actually regulated by the mother's diet during pregnancy. And babies do not benefit from loads of carbs, any more than we do. Just sayin'.

Oh, I love your wicked sense of humor! Here's me sending you pleasant thoughts and good wishes for your goal. Muffin-tops be gone!
