I have to blog. It’s the only way I lose any weight. I think I gained a lot of the poundage I had lost (I’m afraid to weigh myself) because I stopped paying attention to the calories and the crap that I put into my tummy. I can definitely feel the fatness around my mid-section and frankly, I’m not a fan of the muffin top that has formed at the top of my underwear. Not all of them, just some of them, but some is plenty to freak me out enough to make time for blogging.

Today was a VERY bad day:
- caramel apple w/ peanuts for breakfast
- Java Chip Frappuccino (though it was light, but like that really makes a difference)
- a gigantic plate of nachos with corn, beans, salsa and WAY too much cheese (like 1/2 of a brick!)
- an apple with cream cheese fruit dip (which, by the way, is becoming one of my favorite foods)
- a handful of Cheetos (the only reason I didn’t eat the whole 4.5 oz bag was because I felt my stomach fall OVER my pajama pants as I was eating and well, that made me die a little inside)
- tea w/ milk and Splenda (delish)
- Diet Sprite (2)
- Cherry Coke Zero (2)

So yeah, I’m nasty. It’s time to jump back on the bandwagon and lose the weight I lost. My plan is to be down 15 pounds by Christmas so I can wow the folks back home with my sleek physique. That’s about 2 pounds a week. I’d love to lose 20, but I’m trying to be realistic because I know Thanksgiving will screw me up…

Let the games re-begin!!

(P.S. I hope you had fun in California!!)
