Free Day(s)?

Ok, so we've all heard the rules when dieting to make sure you take one day a week as a free day where you don't have to worry about counting calories. Don't believe me? Check these out:

Have a Day Off Your Diet

I think I've made my point. (with 3 links. ha!!) Well, what if I woke up this morning without groceries and decide to go out to breakfast? I know I said New Years Eve was going to be my free day.. and it still will. But what if instead of 3 meals in one day, I take 2 meals in 2 different days to eat what I like? I'll still go to the gym or run and I most likely will only have 2 meals each day so really... is it a big deal? So what if I had ham, potatoes, eggs, toast AND biscuits in gravy. It's not like I ate ALL of it! :) I guess I feel like I had to confess what I ate this morning. Bless me readers, for I have sinned.

C's Wednesday Weigh-In

C: Well, S, to answer your question, I'm sure it's water weight as well as weighing myself in the morning versus at night. Well, I just weighed myself before dinner and WITH all my clothes on (ya know, to blame the extra weight on my boots or earrings) and my weight is:

149.2 lbs

Dear C..

First of all, did you lose 3 pounds in two days? HOW?

Secondly, I'm glad that you posted on your lunch break. I fully agree with your cardboard pizza theory. That is why I opted to have real pizza for lunch. Read it again. REAL PIZZA. From Pier 49. I justify it like this: I have had 300 calorie imposter meals every day for lunch for about 3 weeks straight. I even ate one yesterday since I was unable to enjoy the pita I purchased (due to unforseen, gross circumstances). If we are supposed to indulge in 1200 fat cals every day, but our 3 meals are only 300 calories a piece, we are missing out on an ENTIRE MEAL of coveted calories EACH DAY!

If this continues, we will lose our back completely....not a good look. Think Nicole Richie pre-prego days. Nobody wants that. Not even Joel Madden, if he had a choice.

And so...I am upping my calorie intake to the full 1200 calories. I REFUSE to blow away in a perilous gust of wind!!! WHO'S WITH ME??!! (cheering...banners with my name..more cheering)

LET'S DO THIS, PEOPLE!!!!!

P.s. do you see what I did there? I just made it seem okay that I inhaled 2 drool worthy pieces of pizza for lunch. Booyah.

Lunch Break

Well, here we are. Lunch break. What shall I have? The never salted Sweet and Sour chicken microwave meal? Or perhaps the slightly-resembles-pizza but is actually cardboard-pizza microwave meal? Yes, I think I'll take the cardboard. Why is it these things can never cook right? Always crunchy on the edges but still frozen in the center. Maybe it's for variety. Makes you think it's a delicious frozen dessert but really, it's cold pizza.. and not the good day old Papa John's BBQ Chicken cold pizza. It's of the cardboard persuasion. Good thing I have my trusty Diet Coke to get me through it all. I seriously can't wait for New Years Eve. I've deemed that as my free day. Yep, I give myself one guilt free day a week and boy am I excited for it. No worries, I'm not gonna hit up a buffet or anything.. at least not this time. But don't even think for a second I'm going to feel guilty for over indulging and have a second glass of Sparkling Apple Cider or a pint of Ben & Jerry's (Shout out to my fave B&J ice cream, Americone Dream). Oh.. sweet sweet NYE how I can't wait for your arrival.

Running last night SUCKED btw. Hitting the gym tonight.. maybe. :)

Stay tuned for the first Wednesday Weigh-in today! Hopefully it's not above my initial weight.

I Second that motion.

My name is S..as in, Superfly. Or Superchub, depending on the day.

Today, you can call me Superchange. That's right- I'm making the change. I AM the man in the mirror.

Yesterday, my good friend C hit me up via email and informed me of our diet/blog about our diet. It couldn't have come at a better time. My mom and coworker alike are determined to turn me into a blimp, and so far they are winning the battle. My stocking came stuffed with bags and bags of my favorite candies and my coworker continues to fill up the jar by my desk with the type of candy that you eat without even knowing you're eating it- the most dangerous kind, by far.

Although my motivation is not as honorable as C's (I'm trying to avoid having babies, if at all possible), my motivation is still real. And here's what it is: I am pasty. DAMN pasty. And everyone knows that hot girls only come in two types- curvy and tan or pasty and skinny. And so, in order to fall back into the hot girl category, I am forced to lose the junk in my trunk. TA DA! Hot girl status, here I come!

Let the good times (not the fat) roll!!!

2010

I've started a diet. It's not the new year yet so technically, it's not a new year's resolution so technically, it will last. I'm using Spark People to calculate the calories I intake and the calories I burn. By April, I should be 25 pounds lighter.

Here's how I usually diet: Go strong for a few weeks, lose 10 pounds, notice a difference so stop counting calories and working out. I can't do that this time! I must lose the 25 pounds!! I want to have a smokin bod and one that is conducive to makin babies. TMI? Oh, well, my blog! :)

I'm on day 2 and.. I have the dreaded migraine. Where my body does NOT know what just hit her. Yes, I just referred to my body as a her but that makes sense right? She's like, UM, you were JUST scarfing your face with Christmas goodies pumping me full of sugar and calories and now you're just giving me 1200?? PER DAY?? That's right body. Get used to it.

Here's to my non-new-years-resolution diet!
