Getting down to the wire! My randomly conceived plan of paleo is going good so far. And I have done yoga twice this week.
Weight is the same, measurements have gone down slightly.
Insanity starts this weekend! Hopefully I will not die in the process. Am terrified.
Borrowed lots of fun clothes from a friend so I will at least look snazzy on board, no matter what my weight is. Here's hoping I can do what I have been trying to do for 2 years: lose this last 5 goddamn pounds!

And now for something completely different. . .
Okay, not really. But I have been thinking for a while about the Paleo diet; mostly because I miss meat and eggs. So today I looked up the basics, and I can still eat fruit. Plus I get to eat meat. And eggs. So I think I'm gonna try it. Mindy Kaling said in her book that she thinks fad diets are like a fun hobby for lots of women. I couldn't agree more! I love trying new diets in the hopes that one of them will stick. As long as they are diets that allow me to eat as much as I want, I love them. So we will try Paleo, but I think I will still eat beans because they are healthy and because I have pinto beans soaking at home. Homemade re-fried beans, ya'll! They will go great with an egg on top in the morning. Yummmmm.
Weight today: 140-141. The scale looked like it really wanted to tell me I was 140 but it couldn't quite be sure. Exercise will get amped up this week with the Insanity videos. We should get them on Thursday, I'm so scared!

One Friggin' month
In lieu of posting every day until the cruise, I'm only going to post if I have something to share. There's not much to share today other than that we are at the one-month mark. We head to Ft. Lauderdale on July 20, and set sail on the 21st. CANNOT WAIT.
Today: Weight: 141 (n.p.) Pissed there doesn't seem to be any weight falling off of me.
Food: I have been so good. I didn't even cheat at grandma's on Sunday. Dear body, release thine fat!
Exercise: Um. Oh. Right. This could be the problem.
Oh well. If I don't look entirely perfect on the cruise, I can live with the pleasant thought that I will still be one of the best looking bitches on the ship. And I have big boobs. So suck it, skinny girls!

32 Days!
I am so not blogging every day until the cruise. But here's my status right now:
Pissed off. Weight is up a few pounds, energy is down, and eating has continued to be awesome. Son of a bitch! The last 10 pounds is definitely the hardest to lose. My body is clinging to that shit like me on a zipline. For dear life.
Anywho, I joined a weight loss team at work where we have to record our weight and exercise and stuff, so that way more than just Edward will see what I'm doing and I'll be more accountable than to just myself. I'm part of a team now, ya'll!

35 and counting!
Breakfast: apple and coffee
Lunch: gluten free pasta with tomatoes and mushrooms
Weight: not up for discussion, although the measurements have gone down
Exercise: maybe
Dinner last night turned out to be chicken and squash that was delicious. Paired with wine and True Blood and more wine made it a fine evening! No snacking or anything! Dieting is easier when your husband isn't eating chips in front of you.

T-minus 36 Days
Breakfast: Salad with hard-boiled egg, salsa. Added some ranch cause I'm sassy like that. Coffee.
Lunch: Tofu-cashew sandwich from the Co-op. DE-LICIOUS!
Baby Shower: Fruit only. Go me! I said "Back off with that cake, woman!"
Weight: 141 nekkid. IE: haven't lost a goddamn pound.
Dinner: Whatever my loving husband made for me. Which probably involves spaghetti, but we have whole grain noodles. He's dieting too, so it shouldn't be too bad.
After Dinner: WINE!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a bananer if I get hungry.
Exercise: What?
Also of note: I was told I look skinny today. So something is happening, even if the scale is being a bastard.

37 Days
Today, Breakfast: Salad with black beans and salsa. Grapefruit Juice. Coffeeeeee.
Exercise: Dog walk with more walking after. They can't go as far as me anymore.
Weight: 142-ish with pants. My scale sucks and I have no idea how much I really weigh.
Lunch: More split pea stuff. Yum!
Dinner: Probably a piece of fruit again.
No snack today, but I still have some sunflower seeds. And may break down and buy a soda. Diet soda, that is.
Also, last night when I got home I walked for about 20 minutes until it got too dark to see. So that's something.
I will try and keep these posts more interesting than this one. Today it's just the facts, ma'am.
