Is it really August already? House payment made, check. Utilities paid, check. Grocery list, check. Carters updated appointments scheduled, check. Weight...hum.
We make schedules everyday. They come in the form of honey do list, personal list, personal wants, what we are writing down but know will never happen list and one of my personal favorites...THE DAILY FOOD DIARY/WEIGHT GOAL list.
I decided to use one of my iPhone apps and set up a nutrition/dieting goal sheet. (aka...list) As I made my first entry, I already thought about cheating. Was that really a WHOLE chicken breast? I mean I did leave some residue on the on the plate and that had to have been good for at least 50 calories. Does eating a Weight Watchers Cookies and Cream bar at 5am really count as today? I did go back to sleep???? Probably not, lets just not include that.
I was brave and SCALED it. Personally, I find a scale to be a morale and degrading device that is forced upon us as a BENCHMARK as to what we are weight wise and what we could be. It is not REALLY accurate as to who we are. For instance, I weigh...cough, sputter, sneeze (insert fantasy weight here) and people think I weigh something else. Doesn't matter, I could weigh a version of Kate Moss and people still have opinions.
I have a friend of mine who was recently ridiculed on one of those tabloid sites:) being called too THIN. I wanted to scream for her...TOO THIN! ARE YOU BLEEPING KIDDING ME!!!! They make shows on weight loss, dieting companies thrive on weight loss stories and in this current economic state we all still want to be called TOO THIN!!!!! People always look for something. Me, I would be good with TOO THIN. Even when I just balance on one foot on the scale (yes, I actually have done this), TOO THIN has never popped up.
I am happy that MOST of the baby weight is gone; however, not all of the body is the same. What is up with the baby weight muffin top. Huh???? I carried him in the front! The scale is still not my friend and I am sure it is off on its assessments of me. I have come to the conclusion that the scale and the dry cleaners are in cahoots to shrink my close and supply me with false information. Shady cleaners....;)
On another note, yes, I did embrace the shower today with my new long hair shampoo and conditioner. Not bad, I am glad it knew I didn't have a crew cut. Carter and I met with the speech pathologist. Yes, at 4 months corrected he is talking. Kidding:) Carter has a gtube and they evaluate his eating pattern with the bottle and I am happy to report that just like Mommy, he likes his food and can down it in record time!!!!
