I am watching The Biggest Loser (as I eat my strawberries and Cool Whip) and starting to feel motivated (isn't that the REAL reason we watch this stuff?). Too bad I cannot DO anything physical yet.
I can diet all I want, but what I have learned about myself is that if I am not pushing myself with the exercise, I lose the battle with the food.
It also doesn't help that I am an emotional eater. I am a bored eater. I am a mindless eater.
When I am sad I eat. When I am bored, I eat. When I am lonely, I eat.
I know I started my "diet" on April 1. I am doing "OK" ... not good, but "OK". My doctor appointment is on April 25th. I am hoping she will give me the green light to start working out. I will be in Florida for a couple weeks and when I come back, I am already signed up for Spin classes.
Obviously, I won't be able to go to all that I want (I used to do the 6AM class when Eric was here), since the classes start at 9, once I go back to work. But when I can, I will be there.
I WILL be the biggest loser .... and my husband is going to come back to the hottest wife.

Daily musings of a working Mom of two boys trying to keep her sanity while Daddy is in Iraq.
About Me
- Mommy
- I am a mommy to two boys and a beautiful little girl. I want to better myself every day and make people smile. I want to laugh at least once a day, have a good cry every once in a while, and feel passionate about at least one thing.
THINGS I HATE:
rudeness, being late, arrogance, abortion, frigid temperatures, Winter 2008, goat cheese, a dirty house, not fitting into my clothes, friends who are self-centered, a slow metabolism, men who have "girly" cell phone rings, rude cashiers, good-byes, people who drive slow in the fast lane, know-it-alls, time changes and, oh yea, did I mention Winter 2008?
THINGS I LOVE: my sons- Joshua and Joseph, my husband- Eric, my parents and sisters, sunny days, my skinny pants, shopping when I have money to spend, saving gift cards until I REALLY need to go shopping, blasting my car stereo with good old rock and roll, when a new magazine makes it into the mailbox, vacation, a phone call or letter from a friend just to check in, Mass, the beach, a good martini, reading a book I cannot put down, fireworks, a clean home, nachos, a good scary movie, the smell of cut grass and of burning leaves, and a great evening with friends and sitting outside on a warm summer night (with a glass or two of wine, of course).
I love to watch reruns on TV, I am a HUGE sports nut (GO KNIGHTS! Chicago Cubbies, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and to my husband’s dismay, I still root for the good ol’ Tampa Bay Bucs) and I am the world’s biggest fan of my family.
THINGS I WISH WOULD MAKE A COME BACK:
GOOD rock and roll, kids riding their bikes till their house lights came on, MTV with videos, the value of having a TRUE friend, MC Hammer pants, slumber parties, the thrill of an ice cream cone on a warm summer night, being a teenager with NO responsibilities, mall bangs.

SWEET!!! I can't wait to see the new, hot wife :)
I am also doing okay, but not great. I have been REALLY watching how much I eat if it's bad and focusing a lot on drinking water. Baby steps. I'm setting a small goal to lose 6 lbs before we leave for Vegas (Memorial Day weekend). That would put me at the lowest I've been in about 2 years.
