Soooo, as if Marti and I haven't come up with enough crafty shenanigans (some of which coming up are SO FREAKING COOL, may I just add), we've decided to add another one to our proverbial plates - this one, not so crafty-related, hence the new BLOG!

So every month we've decided to set three 'small' goals for ourselves each in the categories of diet and exercise. We will focus on those goals for the entire month so as to not overwhelm ourselves or ask too much of ourselves (for now) so the temptation to quit is more unlikely (we're hoping!). If you wanna participate, feel free and let us know how it's working out for you! Or if you've got any tips, tricks, encouragement or suggestions, we ALWAYS want to hear them, so be sure to let us know!

Here we gooooo...

coming up for air

*waving* it's the missing half of the diet blog here!

i have been frantically busy and not had much time to update...it is also too depressing to update as my update does NOT include a weight loss *BLAH*

according to Cat we are nearing week 2 end i think.......well i AM drinking water. not the recommended daily amount but ANY water is more than normal. the drawback is that now when i DON'T drink water i FEEL thirsty, like really thirsty - what a pain HAHHAHAH!

unlike Cat i am doing weight watchers, which is really easy IF you actually enter your food and track your points, which is where i struggle because i don't take time to enter the food. the bags of mini chocolates sitting on the counter from one of my magazine projects is not helping either.....can't SOMEONE in this house eat those besides me???????

pezzy has been on an instant oatmeal kick lately so i got some for both of us - low sugar for her and weight control for me. thats right they make weight control oatmeal. it tastes.....really really bad. OMGOSH really bad. the worst part - pezzy's oatmeal is actually a better deal AND tastes like normal friggin oatmeal. weird right?

so i do enjoy weight watchers when i am doing it all the way because it's like a challenge. everything is based on points so the daily challenge is to eat foods that fill you up using the least amount of points possible. so it is almost like a game and a treasure hunt. so i eat a 3 point breakfast and a 4 point lunch.......and then blow it with two *chocolate mountains* (hershey's kisses) which probably use up the rest of my points for the day. *sigh*

i have yet to order anything *skinny* at starbucks....luckily i am rarely near a starbucks these days....

exercise
huh? i was gonna exercise? i always forget about that....does planting a vegetable garden in 120% humidity count for anything? i felt like i was gonna friggin die both days when i finally came back inside so that makes it count right? exercise = i think i am gonna friggin die.........ok so maybe not. walking with pezzy is not working because the child refuses to ride in anything so the walk is painfully slow and i am pretty sure it is not burning much! we have a home gym downstairs but not the free daycare to go with it :P what would really help me is a schedule!

so i start the day again today planning on sticking with it and entering all my food on my tracker.

and now i am off to work on my stamps!

cheers!

Hellooooooo my other diet half!!! It's okay, maybe you're on the stress diet...I heard you could lose a lot that way as well...since all our "other" ways didn't work out for us...HAHAHAHA...

Just keep at it...doing little extra things better than how we used to do them has GOT to help out in the long run!
