I feel like crawling in a hole.
Don't mistake the following as a pity party. It has been 6 months since I popped a kid out of my va-jay-jay (thank you Oprah...or was it Tyra?) I probably gained 60lbs during my pregnancy and I was already putting on the pounds before I got knocked up. Just to give you an idea....I was a size 6 when I met and fell in love with my wonderful husband March of 2004. I was popping out of my size 10's a month before I was sperminated (November 2006). Exactly 6 months post baby, I am a size 14. I understand that it takes time to loose the baby weight, 'give yourself some time', BLAH BLAH BLAH. I have been stagnant and lazy and I am sick of being a size 14. I am disgusted with my laziness. I am in one word....UNHEALTHY. I don't eat fast food....maybe once every 3 weeks...maybe. BUT...I do eat bread, cheese, chocolate, wine, more wine, more bread, butter, cookies, cokes. I am pretty good a limiting myself to all of the previous cottage cheese contributors.
SO.......I have been inspired by Dr. Gillian McKeith on BBC America's YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. She is a rather unattractive, Scottish lady in her late 40s/early 50s. She is a nutritionist and her guidelines appear to work miracles on the folks in her show. In almost every episode the person(s) who follow her strict regiment of fresh fruits, veggies, fish, legumes, beans, gluten free, dairy free diet lost up to 30 ponds in 8 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to Barnes and noble and picked up 2 of her books and began her 'diet' this evening. My goal is to lose weight. I would like to be a size 8 by november, a size 10 will be okay. Hopefully, I will be able to stick to it. Her recipes require planning and lots of chopping.
Most days you start with warm water, tea, fruit, oats with rice milk, veggies for a snack, salad for lunch, veggies for a snack, and veggies with chicken or fish for dinner, and warm water before bed. She is also a firm believer in fruit smoothies for breakfast. If you really want more details, buy the books!
I will be boring you (hopefully everyday) for the next 8 weeks with a food diary and/or how I am progressing. This is mostly for my own benefit, but your encouraging comments are definitely welcome. I will spare you the photos of my lovely stretchmark covered belly or my fat arse. Maybe some of you chubby chasers are sad about that. Well, I better go drink my warm water.
DAY ONE (I started this diet at 8pm tonight)
1 cup 5 grain cheerios
1/2 cup fat free milk
1 banana
2 bottles of water
3 fried chicken strips
3 small beef ribs
4oz fried potatos
2 hot wings
3oz cocacola
dinner was the start of diet food
poached chicken breast in ginger miso
served on a bed of bok choy, red peppers and bean sprouts
1 bottle of water
1 cup of warm water
So, everything i had for breakfast and lunch will no longer be allowed. oh well, it was shit food anyway!
I also need to chew my food longer....Dr McKeith always says that " YOUR STOMACH DOESN"T HAVE TEETH! CHEW YOUR FOOD PROPERLY!"
Wish me luck biatches.

Ian is 6 months old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast babies grow. I love my growing family!
So, we are officially moving to the UK in May. Ben will go in April and try to find us a place to live while he starts work. We have given our move out notice for February 29th. We will have a yard sale the last weekend in February. We will be selling everything...couches/chairs/clothes/book
I will post more later.
