Are you serious??

  So today I was pulling out the stuff for dinner tonight when I realized crap I am out of half the spices I use on my pork chops. So as soon Steve walked though the day at 4 pm I tagged out and rushed over to the commissary in hopes of beating the after work crowd and pick up the 5 things I needed. Of course the problem with living on a rather large base is that the commissary is ALWAYS busy unless you get there butt crack early or really super late. I grab the things I need and head to the self check out where only 3 people waiting when a lady comes up in line behind me. I am just causally minding me own business staring at the coke cooler fighting the urge to grab a Dr. Pepper Bold when she says "So, when are you due?" I look sideways at her expecting to see some women with a cute baby bump or a cell phone in her hand, but instead I find myself staring right into her eyes. I am stunned! I know I am not 100 lbs, but I definitely don't think I look pregnant and I sure don't look far enough along for someone to be so bold as to ask when I am DUE!! I ask her if she's talking to me and I can tell just by her facial expression she's regretting her question. I say the only thing I can say at this point as I am holding back a growing lump in my throat "13 months ago, but thanks for the motivation I needed to workout today." Then I turn my back to her and just pray to GOD this line moves fast. The next time I get enough courage to look behind me she is gone. Probably sulking at another line. At least it's a lesson for her...KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!  I never ask anyone when their due unless I have been told they are pregnant even if they look like they could pop any second. It's just plain dangerous.  Needless to say my urge for soda went out the window!

Put Up or Shut UP

Well we are only 3 days into 2013 and I already feel like this is going to be a fantastic year! I have decided that 2013 is the year I put up or SHUT UP! I am tired of being the person complaining about how much weight I have gained as I chugged down another soda pop or stuff another cupcake in my mouth. If I am not willing to put in the effort to do something about it I need to just stop complaining. So starting Jan 1 Steve and I agreed to give up both fast food and soda (although Steve is allowed one soda a day, but I know he's already broken that as today he had a Coke ICEE and 2 pepsi's that I know of) for a whole month. After that month we can eat fast food only twice a month. Now when I say fast food I really mean Chick-Fil-A not gonna lie we love that place and we were eating it at least once (TWICE) a week. I know CRAZY GROSS!! On top of that I have started a portion control diet with the help of SENSA don't worry folks I'll keep you up to date on how it's going. I have also added 3 cardio work outs and 2 abdominal workouts to my weekly routine. Fingers cross I don't give up as easily as I have in the past. I am really excited about this diet and I am ready to look in the mirror again instead of rushing though my morning routine as fast as possible and avoiding as much eye contact with myself as I can. I know they say that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom, before your ready to make a change and last year I did it. When I stepped on the scale for the first time in almost 5 months two weeks ago the numbers that popped up devastated me. While I was pregnant with Grace I kept saying I want to get back down to my wedding weight before her first birthday, but instead I am still 20 lbs over. I am done talking about wanting to lose the weight..this is it I am putting up or shutting up this year!!
