Livin' Fat

Ah...Sweet Validation...
First of all, tonight I'd like to thank my stalkers readers for all their comments and for completely validating my anti-douche propaganda yesterday! This morning while I watched Mr. & Mrs. Neighbor McDouchePants load a broom in to their storage container (yeah, it's a good thing I have to park over in friggin' Lebanon just so you can carry a 5 ounce broom twelve feet from your apartment to your storage container...f#cking douche) But where was I? Oh yes, watching them load their crap in to the pod, I couldn't help but wonder what they thought of my, let's say, "gift"? I'm still waiting to dish out a "You park like an idiot" card, but I'm guessing I won't have to wait too long for that opportunity to present itself...


Wii Fridge? Mii Diet? Nintendo Wii Should Stop Eating So Much Crap v2.0?
We finally set up the Wii at the apartment (gag) and I finally made it back on the Wii Fit after almost a month away. I am happy to announce that in those 26 days away, I have lost 2.2 pounds! Not exactly my goal yet (still about 13 pounds away from that...) but I think I have come up with a genius solution.

I won't lie. I love my Lovely Lady Friends dearly. But I have to confess: they are annoyingly svelte* and attractive. Like really? Seriously? Do I have to be the token fattie? And what's sick is that I know I'm not "fat". It's just that compared to these annoying size, well, who knows what size they are in those totally cute designer jeans, I am the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. (*Don't Google Image Search "svelte" unless you are looking for porn.)

So here's my plan: stop all those irritating sit-ups and exercises and work harder on making THEM gain weight! Brilliant, right? We all share a love of wine, cheese and bread, so you'd think it wouldn't be too hard. I figure I can get them all liquored up on a nice Pinot Noir and once they are good and sauced...out come the Quarter Pounders! Trade their weight loss shakes with some high protein weight gain formula and watch me get skinnier and skinnier!! Muuuaaahahahahahahahahahaha.

Feel free to adapt this plan to suit your individual group of friends. Most of my group are married or getting hitched in the next month or two, so I'll tell them to write it off as them "letting themselves go". It'll happen sooner or later. How about just sooner so I can feel better about myself in a bathing suit this summer?

I'll post updates soon. Boy, it sure is good that none of them read this blog, huh?


The moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup...
I have to just briefly share how hilarious Mr. Bee is. A few months ago, I got Baby Bee a little Cookie Monster plush doll from Las Vegas. Apparently, Mr. Bee is way too creative in the mornings and, for the last week or so, I have awoken to find Cookie is various poses and situations in the apartment. Naturally, I have found him sitting atop the fridge holding a container of cookies. But this morning was hilarious. I walked in to the living to find Cookie Monster on the steering wheel of Baby Bee's Leap Frog Ride Along School Bus where he apparently had passed out after crashing in to (and on top of) a bunch of Baby Bee's other toys!

I immediately emailed Mr. Bee a scandalous mug shot of the celebrity DUI:

It's such a disappointment when our children's role models can't hold their liquor and crash their alphabet school buses in to innocent Stack & Smile Crocodile bystanders. Such a promising career ruined.

Phat Monkey

I was a bad monkey and kind of let yesterday slip as far as blogging and weigh management went. I'll use my Birthday and the hell of yesterday as an excuse...

Calories: didn't keep track much

Exercise: besides running around in circles trying to clean up the house, prepare dinner, and general stress, not much

Today's Weight: 145

You're surprised, aren't you?

Perfect Fit

One characteristic that Mr. Bee and I share is our complete lack of patience, especially if it has to do with gift giving. It's very likely that I will get shaken awake at midnight on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning to open presents (since it's technically Christmas). Whenever we give each other birthday presents, I think we both attempt to wait until the other person's birthday, but our excitement at giving gifts always get the best of us and we always force the person to open the present early. Okay, maybe force is a little strong. Neither of us ever need much convincing before we rip in to that sparkly wrapping paper!

With my birthday only a few days away, Mr. Bee couldn't contain himself and gave me the opportunity to open my present early! Even more impressive is the thought and effort he went in to getting it for me (apparently he went out at the crack of dawn this morning to The Store That Shall Not Be Named and scored my gift straight off of the inventory cart (it hadn't even gotten to the shelf yet before he started harassing workers for it!).

My hubbie is AWESOME! I wanted one of these so badly! Now my weight check-ins might actually have something other than "None" in the "Exercise" category!

She's So Heavy

Yesterday's calorie intake: 1435 (with a 1580 calorie goal)


Yesterday's exercise: None. Meow meow.


Today's weight: 144-145ish

Physical

Yesterday's calorie intake: 2023(with a 1580 calorie goal)
Today's excuse was that last night's dinner was at Mr. Bee's mom in celebration of my birthday this coming week. I even saved up calories for it, but still went over my daily goal. Wah waah.


Yesterday's exercise: None
(besides carrying around 20+ lb Baby Bee with me everywhere. That's getting old real fast! That little booger needs to walk already!)


Today's weight: 145-146ish.
damn scale

Baby Phat

Yesterday's calorie intake: 1676(with a 1716 calorie goal)
...counting the calories I earned back by exercising


Yesterday's exercise: did a 20-minute jog/run/walk on the treadmill, which totally kicked my lazy butt.
It's sad how much I was sweating afterwards. But I did it! I finally did it. Now to go watch some TiVo...


Today's weight: 146

Ladies Who Lunch

Best Low Calorie Lunch Yet
Homemade tuna salad on thinly sliced and toasted pieces of Panera Bread Asiago Cheese demi loaf. Taaaaaaaaaaaaasty.

Fat Bottomed Girls

Yesterday's calorie intake: 1615(with a 1580 calorie goal)
Today I will choose to blame my mother for dishing out Costco Carrot Cake at Bunco last night, which apparently has about 8 trillion calories per slice. And I don't even like it that much! What a waste of calories...**UPDATE** Reviewed MyFitnessPal and realized that I recorded something TWICE! Yay! (I thought I had spent 1755 calories yesterday!)

Yesterday's exercise: none
You might be noticing a trend here...I honestly did plan on hitting the treadmill yesterday, if only to watch this week's Bachelorette that is recorded on the downstairs TiVo. But I completely forgot about filling in at the calorie-filled Bunco at my mom's house. Maybe today will be the day my butt gets off the couch.

Today's weight: 146

Hungry Like The Wolf

1580 calories is not a lot.

Stretching your calories tips:
* I cut my hot dog lunch today in half (length-wise) and pretended I was eating two (unfortunately, it wasn't very convincing)

* I've been snacking all day long on a bag of popcorn, which has a surprisingly low caloric cost! It ain't terribly filling, but at least it's something.

* I'm trying to drink a lot of water. However, having to pee every five seconds with an antsy almost toddler is insanely difficult.



PS: I'm hungry. PMS + trying to not eat chocolate = torture.

Big Ole Butt

Yesterday's calorie intake: 1537 (with a 1580 calorie goal)
Today was a bit easier but I'm still craving two 300+ (each) hot dogs. Constantly. Like, I'd give my right ovary for some right now. But nooooooooo. I had to decide to lose weight. I'm such a dumbass. PS: I'm hungry. All the time. I think it's just because I went from totally not caring about what I ate or how much to watching every bite. It pretty much sucks monkey balls.

Yesterday's exercise: none
Yep. No exercise yet. I plan on hitting the treadmill today (and probably enjoying a hot dog or two).

Today's weight: 146-147ish
I really need to buy a digital scale...

The Weight

Yesterday's calorie intake: 1838 (with a 1580 calorie goal) (I thought I was doing good, but realized this morning that I forgot to add a few things...damn you, Reese's and your tantalizingly good cups)

Yesterday's exercise: none

Today's weight: 146

Baby Got Back

However, I Don't Like Big Butts
About 6 months ago, I found a website called My Fitness Pal and finally lost about 10 pounds with the wacky combination of watching what I ate and exercise (who knew?). I think the (then) upcoming threat of still having baby weight on at Baby Bee's First Birthday was enough motivation to get my butt off the couch and on to the treadmill.

But since I lost the baby weight, I haven't had much motivation to get back on the treadmill. And with all the recent stress of Mr. Bee working all the time and packing up the house to sell, all that bread, cheese and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups just hit the spot.

All that was pre-blog. (I know, can you even remember when there was a time that you didn't read my inane and random thoughts? Scary, huh?). Now I have people, friends and strangers, to whom I can be held accountable. So today is Day One. The plan is to every day report my weight, calorie intake and exercise regimen. I love Fitness Pal and the Free Dieting Calculators and Calendars.

My Goals
According to the FreeDieting.com calendar, with a 1-pound per week weight loss, I should be at my goal weight of 130 lbs. by September 8th. A sooner goal would be a five-pound weight loss by June 23rd.

{fingers crossed} Let's hope this plan actually works and maybe will combat the overwhelming grossness I've been feeling lately!
