Bad moods are not fun

I am really considering doing a weekly weigh in rather than daily. I think that weighing daily might be playing a part in my bad mood the last few days. It is hard, I am scared to do it because for some crazy reason I think I will see a gain. But I think I should give it a try. Maybe I will do that starting next week.. lol!

153 today. I am not calling it for sure until I weigh tomorrow.

I plan to run 3-4 miles tomorrow and Saturday. I've stuck to induction levels all week so hopefully that will help get things moving again.

b: 3 eggs
l: cottage cheese, banana (ok, not so induction friendly, but whatever)
d: 5 chicken tenders, green beans
s: ?

What the....?

I occasionally check CNN.com to read the news and I've noticed a new feature that is a bit strange. Next to some of the links to news articles, some now have a little t-shirt icon in addition to the video camera icon. So I click on the t-shirt icon and it takes you to a page where you can ORDER a freaking t-shirt with the title of the news article. What the crap is that? Who in their right mind would PURCHASE a t-shirt with the title of a news article on it? What has this world come to?

So without further ado, here is a snippet of a very disturbing t-shirt for sale on CNN.com!! Get yours today! :

Stalled

I guess I am not "technically" stalled, but I haven't lost much in a while, and the scale seems to be all over the place. I am going to stick to induction level carbs for a few days and see what happens. It could be that I'm eating too much Carb Smart ice cream :

I plan to run 3-4 miles on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with walks and other exercise in between. I will do my weights and crunches today.

Weight: 155.8
b: eggs
l: eggs!
d: chicken from the crockpot with mayo
s: banana

My picture

Ok, so now that I am getting involved in all this blogging stuff, I wanted to have my picture in my profile. Ever since gaining weight I have HATED having my picture taken. I am sure many people can sympathize with this. I have more pictures from me on my wedding day at almost 7 months pregnant than I do from the eight years since! Yikes. So anyway, despite feeling much better about the way I look, taking my picture was hard. I forced myself to do it for a few reasons, one being that I don't want people to look at my loss and wonder why I have no pictures posted and think "Oh great! Another Kimmer!". But I am not trying to make millions off people by selling a diet-scam. Also I just want to start liking myself again like I did in high school.

I know you're thinking - dang that girl needs a hair style! And I am in full agreement. That will be happening soon, I promise. I really need bangs with this five-head. LOL! Ok enough making fun of myself... my current picture is on the sidebar----> and later I will be adding side by side before and afters. I've kept the befores hidden for a while now, only sharing them with close friends.
