Dear Scale,

I'm going back to basics and I'm going to be twiggy the next time I see you. HA! Suck it! I saw you lookin at me again. Between you and the red weigh in thing on fatsecret I'm becoming a stubborn 3 yr old. I don't wanna weigh in! Mostly because I'm afraid I went up. Normally I would dread weighing in and put it off. Now? Well now I'm being true to my word which supports my denial so ha! I don't even want to see you!

I'm wearing my bodymedia again. I know.. it's summer. People can see it now. I keep getting asked if I'm OK. I am. I need to come up with a good explaination though. If I say heartrate monitor people start measuring my desk at work because I'm obviously about the kick the bucket. If I say it tracks my calories I get eye rolls. But do I care? I'm still trying to decide. Eh.. I went to work last week with leg stubble. After a lack of sleep, two kids, a farm and a full time job you have that defining moment when you think. Huh.. Well maybe no one will notice I have a lil stubble. It's not like I'm rubbing up against anyone! Yup.. defining moment right there. This time last year I would have died before I left the house with a 5 o'clock shadow. Well wait.. I was 9 months pregnant.. I couldn't reach my legs then. Ok 2 years ago.

I did amazing on the calories despite the cookies in the breakroom. I don't even know what they are.. but they look amazing. I bought skinny cow ice cream sandwiches and I didn't touch them. I will only touch them when they fit in my calorie range. I will be twiggy. I will piss off the other women in my life trying to lose weight. I will shock and amaze my family when they see me. I will be 130 by the end of summer. I will not act like a kid in a candy shop with the chocolate chips meant for baking. I am a strong chicky who will show some form of self control. So scale you can go suck it! I will obsess again about you when I think my pants are loose.

Sincerly yours,
Dairyfarmerswife

Yesterday was a calorie deficit of -783. Not the -1000 I'm shooting for but close!

Dear Scale,

It's been 5 days since I last stripped down to my birthday suit and waited with anticipation for you to tell me something good. Mostly you only tell me bad things. Lately you only have something nice to say once a week. I think until you learn to say something nice every day well then you shouldn't say anything at all. Maybe a month without you will teach you a lesson! Or.. You'll keep saying nasty things and laugh at my attempt to teach you a lesson by giving me a big ol nasty message at the end. Please be nice to me! Sorry again about putting you on the bottom of a basket full of dirty clothes. And sorry about putting the 9 yr olds dirty towel on top of you yesterday morning. Oh and sorry about that thing.. this morning.. that well. Probably shouldn't be mentioned or I may be turned into the scale abuse line.

Sincerely yours.. please don't hate me,
Dairyfarmerswife

I SUCK. Yesterday I was tired, sore, sunburned, tired, my hand has a welt the size of a vanilla wafer. I know this because I kept sharing lil man's vanilla wafers with him. My weekend eating.. SUCKED. I decided to finish things off with pizza and wings last night for a grand finale to my suckiness. Seriously though.. I mowed lawns, painted milk cans, went on a 2 and a half hour trip to get parts and found out lil man gets car sick 1 hr into the trip, helped fix a chisel plow.. where a wrench fell off the frame and smacked my hand (luckily the pipe wrench missed my head), cleaned calf stalls, mowed more lawn (we need more fields, lawns are overrated. Seriously.. plant corn in the front yard! I don't care!), put finishing touches on garden boxes, and alot of other stuff that I can't remember because I'm brain dead.

Today.. I'm going to kick some serious butt till the end of this month. I will eat right. I will stop eating my sons snacks. I know.. I've said this before.. but I have to. Lil man's b-day is at the end of the month and the woman who kept calling me twiggy is coming. At this point I want to lose weight just to peeve her off. Plus I have to take 9 yr old to see my family at the end of school. I want to amaze them. They haven's seen me in a year. Last time they saw me I was in size 18s and I weighed about 195 lbs. They haven't seem me this small since I was a kid. I'm going to do this. Thynes.. if I start to slip. Smack me silly.

Cursing.. I put 9 yr old in charge of my cursing. You realize you may have a problem when you're screaming "What the hell??" and the windows are down.. and then you realize the neighbors can hear you! The very religious neighbors.. who are probably thinking things just as bad as the amish. Heck the amish are less than a mile away. They might have heard me! So.. for every curse I pay 25 cents.. in a month the kids should have the funds they need for a swingset. Well Saturday was 1.50. Sunday was .75 (Hey... a giant 1-1/2 inch wrench fell from 3 feet and hit my hand!) Today.. I'm up to .25 so far because of the morning commute.

Tonight it's barn chores, mowing the lawn some more, finishing the milk cans, dinner.. them hopefully 30 minutes on the eliptical. I may be up till midnight getting everything done but I need to kick things into high gear to undo any damage.

Dear Scale,

It's day 3 without you. I'm convinced you've become a stalker. I tried to put you out of my sight and next thing I know I turn around and you're there!?! Seriously? I know.. I promised you a fluffy vacation but I'm short and I couldn't put you on the top shelf where I wouldn't see you without getting a ladder. You were taunting me when I was trying to pee and I had to move you asap. I improvised!

I'm sorry you disliked you new spot at the bottom of the dirty clothes basket. I only threw one t-shirt over you and it didn't even smell that much. How was I supposed to know hubby would climb a silo then go sweat in a tractor without a cab and get covered in dust? I didn't know he would be throwing barn clothes on top of you. Usually he throws these straight into the washing machine. You've seen it! The man is trained to throw everything automatically into the washer. Jeans, whites, darks.. yup.. into the washer.

Now I know hubby and the small female human don't know the laundry basket exists nor would they ever be tempted to touch something that might imply doing housework. So obviously when I woke up this morning and found you in your usual freakin spot right in front of the toilet.. you put yourself back! It's a bit stalkerish. Did you think I would see you and immediately rush over in excitement to find my current weight? Nope.. It helps that one of the dogs peed right in front of you. This is what you get for putting yourself back. It would help if you could let me know which dog it is that has suddenly decided everyone else pees there so they should to. The two morons were let out at 10pm. They should be able to hold it.

Tonight.. I'm locking you in a cabinet. Try getting out of that one Houdini!

Your loving owner,
Dairyfarmerswife

I want to eat. I want to eat alot. I want a the giant bag of multi grain tortillas that are currently sitting on the counter at home. I want to eat the entire bag. I want candy. I want mcdonalds. I want cold pizza for breakfast. I want a king sized peanut butter twix. Heck I want 2! But.. I'm resisting because I think maybe the scale could be down but I'm not sure because I can't get on it and I know that if I do start eating I won't stop and I will gain 5 lbs. But I don't know where I'm at! Am I in the 150's the 140's? No clue. Why do I want to eat? It could be two things...

First reason.. yesterday I walked twice, shoveled 3 tons of saw dust from a dump wagon, did my normal barn chores, cleaned house, and chased kids. Maybe the extra walking and shoveling is making me think I need something to eat to replace those calories. I know when I workout and I start to lose I crave more because my body is trying to hold onto the weight. When I feel like I want to eat the box the cookies came in as well as the cookies then I drop in weight. This could be a good thing.

Second reason... The 9 yr old has become a teenager. Usually we leave at the same time. I leave out the back door, she leaves out the front door and by the time I get lil man wrestled into the car the bus is pulling away. This morning? I was running a lil late so I was watching her walk out the door. She went to her room the first time for her water bottle, the second time for a paper that was in her hand.. I was suspicious the second time but I didn't have time to investigate so I told her to get her butt out the door then I went out the back door. I could have sworn I heard her open the front door and go out. She missed the bus. Apparently she thought she left something in her room, again. Seriously? Do I look that stupid? Did she actually leave out the front door then walk back in the second she heard me go out the back? After a 10 minute rant trying to get the trush she says she wanted to take the heels I gave her for dressup to show her friends. I don't buy it. I already had to yell at her twice to change her clothes because she's all leg and those shorts weren't going out of the house. Then she wanted to wear the same shirt she wore last night. Um. gross. No. Smacks head.. It's starting!!!!!! Make it stop!! Needless to say.. I was cursing up a storm, running 20 minutes behind, and the little man's next words could be questionable.

So.. it's only 9am and breakfast is gone. Getting the shell off a hard boiled egg when you're driving gets interesting when it's stop and go. My boss caught me coming in 15 minutes late. The sitter has asked if I could be a lil early picking up lil man. Employee of the year right here! Hubby is out in the field from chore time to chore time trying to get corn in the ground. Do I dare ask him to take at least a half hour off to go get his son? Then hear about everything he could have gotten done in that half hour... eh.. I'll decide later. Maybe if I send a text with the request and a pic of my boobs I will have better results.

There is good news that's still kinda bad news. I was going through capris an amazing woman gave to me looking for something to wear today. I was really looking forward to wearing one pair but I put them on.. and they fell off. They're too big! But I really wanted to wear them.. so I'm keeping them up with a belt. I need to go through the rest this weekend. I never thought I would wear capris. Whenever I put them on at my heaviest my calves and thighs looked massive. Now? Not so much. Yay!
