insanity

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I guess I'm a little insane. I'm just realizing now that what I'm doing diet wise is not working. I need to figure out what is going to work for me. I did Weight Watchers when I was breastfeeding with very little success but I also have done it before that with much more success. I've done South Beach too with success. I just need to actually commit to something, prepare for it, and stick with it. I probably should have gotten serious before now considering swim suit season (for most people) is starting this weekend. If I start now maybe I will want to wear one by the end of the summer.

I have made one positive change recently. I got a gym membership. I found a local gym that really is only $10 a month even with all their fees. I figure realistically I can only go 1-2 times a week. This gym doesn't have babysitting but I don't feel comfortable leaving the kids with a sitter I don't know anyway. I joined because I wanted to start lifting weights again. I wanted to feel strong again. I've been going about a month which equates to only 5 times but I feel better about myself even if the scale hasn't moved yet. That is the most important thing anyway.

Weights are good!

Thankfully for you (and me too) spring has forgotten to arrive here in the area and it's still butt-ass cold. What gives? So hopefully bathing suit season will be postponed a little while.

I've found I get very steady results from a diet of brownies. Oh, you mean a LOSING-WEIGHT diet. Never mind.

Hey god for you. I need motivation too, I just have no idea what that will be for me.
