My nephews were here today. I love those boys, but it is impossible to stick to a healthy eating schedule around them. B. brought me a cheese stick, and they wanted Chinese for dinner (so of course I made an awesome Chinese smorgasbord of yumminess), then after dinner we had to break into the ice cream. Because how could we play Halo, and not eat ice cream???
I so did not walk today, I did not exercise at all... unless you count cooking dinner as working up a sweat? lol. I flat out bombed today. :( I don't think I am even going to take a picture tonight.
However, I did make a delicious dinner, I did have a fun afternoon and evening with the boys, and I did get most of my pictures edited.
Overall I guess I can't complain to bad.

Wonder of wonders, Miracle of miracles!
I set up a blog for my little sister tonight and when I added her to follow my blog all my posts just popped up on her follow stream. It was CRAZY! but I was able to go onto google reader and copied and pasted the whole thing. YAY! So here is a repost of it. No comments unfortunately, but at least it is here.

So, if you are anything like me you have been hearing a lot about this new HCG diet.Or maybe you are even on it? I sure have been hearing a lot about it, and it seems it just appeared out of nowhere. It was about 6 months ago when I first was told about it by a friend who had a friend who had a sister who was on it. They claimed she had lost over 30 lbs in just 2 months.. and it was sooo easy. Well, I am skeptical, and when I was told the key is they are only allowed 500 calories, I made up my mind then and there not to look into it any further.
However I have been hearing even more positive about it in the last few weeks that is making me rethink my initial conclusions. My mother in law's sister is on it for the 2nd time right now and was thrilled to have lost 30 lbs her first 30 day cycle. She also claims she is not hungry at all. I am so unsure of how "not hungry" I would be.. not to mention I am constantly told by Drs and other "experts" that not eating is the worst thing you can do.
I did some research tonight and learned more about the product and what it really does. I found out "HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It's a naturally occurring hormone-like substance found in pregnant women. HCG basically pulls the stored fat from the mother's body to make sure the developing baby has enough nutrients to develop properly." The site I got this info from is, of course, trying to sell a product, so if you go there be prepared for a sales pitch. But their information seemed solid and was easy to follow.
I am still not sure what I think of it all. I want to loose this weight so badly. I do NOT agree that it can be done with no exercise. That is just silly, and naive. However, if it really does make the other parts easier.. wouldn't it be worth it??? Then again I am so broke. I really can't bring myself to waste money I do not have on another scam.
I would LOVE to get others opinions, ideas, experiences and vote on where to go from here.

Halloween with out the hicups

I think today was good. I walked through a corn maze, didn't down the candy, carved a pumpkin, watched a stupid/scary movie (so not my kind of movie), and had a good time with the little boys.
Feeling good about myself for lack of sugar consumed and amount of movement achieved.. I promptly came home tonight and ate a leftover piece of my death by chocolate birthday cake!
Enuff said.

So today I finally started. I have been thinking about this for weeks and talking about it for days. So now here I am at the jumping off point. I am officially 30. My birthday has come and gone and I am now...old. Ok, so not so old, but too old to let my life continue on as it has. Too old to let my goals sit abandoned on the shelf waiting for that ever elusive "better time to start". And deffinately too old to hope some miracle will appear out of thin air and make everything easy for me. So if it will never be easy, then I can only surmise as I continue to age it will in fact only get harder.
Seize the day! Carpe Diem! The time is now!
Starting today I have takien a picture of myself in all my fat semi-nekked glory. (No you can NOT see it.*hmph* perv!) I plan to take one of these pictures each day along my journey. I will talk about my goals, successes, and even failures on here. (Just a heades up, I am a talker and might throw in a few extra thoughts as time passes too.)
My plan is to go along this plan for the next year. My gift to myself on my birthday next year is to be able to see all the pictures I have taken in a stop motion film showing me shrinking. I want to be a healthier, happier me.
Any comments, support, and friendship is welcome. If you would like to join me in this endevor, please feel free to join my group, and share your thoughts too.
So, here is to today, tomorrow and whatever may come.

Day something-or-other... Starting over (and over) again.
I have been doing this blog for about a week now. I have been really excited and into it. I have done all the things I planned to do. But now, I kinda feel lost... like what is the point? I went to log on earlier this evening and found my blog was blank. All I have posted and poured my heart into has just vanished. I tried recovering it in many different ways, but all to no avail. It has simply been eaten by the.. well what? I don't know what ate it. :s
So if by some miracle someone out there loved my words so much they copied them, or can find a cached copy from anytime before today... I would love to be sent a copy, please.
It's weird in a way. Like a part of me has been stolen. I put a lot of heart and feeling into my thoughts. For it to just be missing is so frustrating... so ugh, hollow.
Now, I guess it is up to me to start over. I need to find the positive... anyone know where it is? Oh I know! In a desperate attempt to find a cached copy of the blog I reestablished contact with an old friend, and it felt great! Friends are so key for me. I want all my friends to know what an impact you make on my life. You inspire me to be a better person. I see your lives and want to be like you (not in a creepy stalker way I promise) and I want you to be proud of me.
So, I suppose here is to a fresh start, and a clean *sob* (very empty) slate.
DAY 1 (again)
