D-Day!

Well it's here..D-Day!! It came...not without a big fanfare and food sendoff!  I became a complete glutton and actually was happy to see this day as my stomach was literally SICK! I had consumed enough calories in only a few days to jump my weight up 5 lbs!!  That's just gross on my part, but it was like a goodbye party.  Nothing like over doing it though! Haha.  So sickly I stumble into my routine.  My first day was good...kept my calories, etc into the Sparkpeople suggested amounts and even got my exercise in.  Not with a run though...my daughter had not had a very good day at her Friday preschool day.  What ended in a very large meltdown and cranky little girl, sent my Monday into a fear-spiral.  Her first 2 1/2 hour day and I was terrified I was going to get a call saying that she was on nuclear alert at any moment.  So, I stayed home and CLEANED for 2 hours.  Not just wipe this and wipe that, but full on, sweat inducing, heavy breathing scrubbing floors on hand and knee, moving furniture cleaning!! My house was sparkling and my back was killing.  I used muscles I hadn't in quite a while, but it was a good hurt.  My house definitely needed the attention, and my body needed the work.  This is just the start, but in the beginning is always so motivating.  I always start out with such gusto and feel like I could lose that weight in a quarter the time...let's see where I am at in a month.  That's when I start to cheat here and there and get so easily discouraged.  I have to keep the goal in mind...need some sort of mini goal maybe?  A new pair of pants or shirt when I lose 20 lbs?  I don't know....hubby doesn't like the money spending!! Bahhhhh.  Anyways...I will keep a weekly update..maybe that'll help me stay focused!

I may start a secondary blog for the food creations I am coming up with.  Been getting creative in the kitchen and even my sister tells me I am good at making a fatty dish less so, but still yummy!  Although I LOVE the  Looneyspoons collection! Amazingly yummy food at 1/2 the calories and fat!  A gem!  I do post my recipe's on the Sparkpeople recipe's site quite often.  Not just to share but to get the true calorie amounts of it!  OK...we'll see you in about a week..see where I am at!! :)
