Jumping in

I am going to do low.carb again to try and jump start the weight loss. Cut out the pop and the sweets. Oh how I love sweets though. And bread. Ugh!!! Damn you PCOS insulin-resistance!! If anyone has low.carb snacks, meal ideas let me know. I need something.

I want to lose 50 lbs this year. I have to lose 10 by the time I go back to the Dr in June. 50!!!!!!!!!!! I put it here to be accountable so everyone knows what is up. I would love a ticker but you have to put your real weight in there and I love you all, but that number is a secret. No way am I sharing that with the Internet!! I can share everything else though, sort of funny! 50 lbs would put me at my weight when we got married almost 9 yrs ago.

Monday is a holiday for me. Yeah for corporate life. So I am doing the unthinkable. C is going to daycare and I am having a Jenn day. I am sleeping in after helping get C ready for the day. I will probably have an easy lunch. Do some shopping with GC I still have from my birthday last year. Maybe go to the salon. Going to the movies with some friends from work that afternoon. Going to see Twi.light again. Then pick up C that afternoon a little early and spend some extra time with him.

I am really looking forward to this and I need it so bad, so no judging!! I know I could keep C that day and we could have fun too, but I need this break in the worst way. I feel lost and I need to do this for myself. I am very excited!! February holiday is all about a me & C day.

Enjoy your "me" day. You deserve it! Everyone needs a "me" day!!! Good luck with the lo carb thing. I did it before I got married so I could lose some quick pounds. I have an Atkins cookbook if you want to use it. Just let me know!

Funny, but even though I have not stepped on a scale lately, 50lbs is a very good estimate of the difference between me now and when we got married. Must be a magic number. I'll tell everyone that puts me in the neighborhood of 220. I need my running partner back.

Good luck with the weight loss. If all your basic needs are being met, dropping weight is one of the biggest challenges out there. I don't know anyone who has an easy time with it.

You go girl! Should we schedule a 5K? I need a goal too! Maybe Greg and I will see you guys at the gym, if I could ever make up my mind!

Dude, are you kidding?!?! I'm off all next week and Meadow is going to school every day!!!! Honestly, it's my week in between switching jobs and I have a crazy amount of house stuff to get done. I will have some me time but mainly house time. I'm also attempting to start working on my weight loss ticker this week :)

You did great with the low-carb thing last time. I hope it works just as well this time too!
