It feels so...

Vegetable-y in my mouth.... Yea, I said that while eating eddamomes, how the hell do you spell that any way. Edamames. I should just stop now.

So last night was a doosy, ya, I can't spell that either. Here is the list of items I have in my house:

Oreo's (100 year anniversary AND they have sprinkles, BONUS)
Ice cream (two kinds)
frozen M&M's
Apple Pie

This is also the same list of ALL the stuff I wanted to cram in my mouth between 7 and 10 pm. Instead I didn't! I ROCK! Let's see if I can be a No-sugar-ninja tonight....

Oh and I did level 3 of my workout video. I made the straight "sexy" face I have on my pintrest (drink). If you follow me you know of what I speak.

Peace out.

On a glitter bender

Soooo, lets talk about all the crap I ate this weekend... cookies, ice cream, and pie and wait for it.... wait for it.... PIZZA. I was like a fairy on a glitter bender.  (ya I just said that, and yes you too can use it. Feel free to throw it out at parties or the craft store, I think it would really work well in the glitter isle, but I digress."

UGH. I think the crap infiltrated my brain because instead of being all "I'm gunna kick ass this week and loose some serious lb's" I was like "I wonder if I can hit up Starbucks for a mocha and get a doughnut before anyone would notice."

Um, my ass would....

But I keep telling myself this feeling will pass, that I need to eat well on the weekend too, just as I do on the weekdays if I want this to really happen. AND I DO.

So in the mean time I am reading this awesome blog I found on Pintrest (take a drink) called Mama Laughlin and also directing all my fat thoughts to wasting time finding the perfect craft to pin for this weekend. What are you guys pinning on Pintrest ???(drink)

JUST MOVEN SOME MARBLES....

So if you have been following me (this bitch is back!) today was my first official weigh in. And the survey says... -3.6 pounds! My goal is to loose two pounds a week so hell yes!

"So what 's this about marbles you ask Andrea? Is this all part of your ADD?" NO! My GF found this thing on Pintrest (Hello, my name is Andrea and I am addicted to pintrest) where you simpley use two containers and some marbles to motivate weight loss. One is filled with marbles, each marble representing a pound you would like to loose. As you loose you move the marbles from one container to the other. (It creates a nice desk decoration as well, double bonus) So like I said.... just movin some marbles!!

Side note: I have started a small workout routine I do daily and have laid off the desserts, been drinking tuns of water (pee every 20 minutes, so I'm pretty sure I walk about a mile a day just back and forth from the bathroom, that is what they are really talking about when they say drink tuns of water for weight loss)

Give me a shout out if your going to start movin' some marbles. I will report mine every Thursday!

Just liven the Dream....

YA RIGHT

Got some crappy news (let's call it what it is kids) and REALLY wanted to drown myself in New York Super Fudge Chunk and instead.... I got my new bathing suit and took "before" pictures, just to take the sucky-ness (yes its a word) up a notch.

I went to bed.....

Go me!?

My first weigh in is tomorrow. Anyone else out there fighting the fat?

Ya sooooo...

Just writting to say I am in a motivatonal funk. Its like I see the scale, I do my workouts, I eat well.... and then the ice cream calls.....

SO.LAME.

I CAN DO THIS!!!

I can... right?


Let me know how you get through your funks and work through your cravings. Who's with me??

Soooo ya....

I have been MIA for a while. Thought I would check in. So much going on in my head I really feel like I need to be grounded, too busy, too stressed.

Need to let it all go and breath, in.... out....


This is the time when I was diagnosed. Every year I get in a funk around now. This year is ten years. I am so happy because of what I have to show for it- my awesome family. But in the back of my mind there is this rumble, this little voice that still finds itself telling me you should be doing more, doing it better, its not enough.


Does anyone else know how to get rid of it? I can usually shake it off mid month. Let's see how that goes. Baking helps:)

STOP Rewarding Yourself with Food!

YOUR NOT A DOG!

So the other day I am on Pintrest (Hello my name is Andrea and I am a Pintrest addict) and I see this. SMACK! Right in the carb loading kisser! Yes you may think its harsh, but lets face it, so am I and I needed that...

The Lowdown:

The bootcamp Natzi... ahemmm... instructor has taken a week off and the gym was closed down for contruction AND thriple threat.... it was raining! Who could work out in those conditions? PLUS work has hit the fan and busy season is in full swing. Which also means, lets quickly stuff whatever food sounds yummy after starving yourself and wash it down with as much caffiene as your body can consume.

*Side note: I saw a post where someone (A is for awesome) ordered a salted caramel hot chocolate, it reminds me to add three shots and call it amazing sometime this weekend....

Ok so as I continue. The only bonus to this caffiene-carb loaded high is the amazing bout of musical tourettes it has brought on. The down side is muffin top, falling asleep before my kids even go to bed, and the fact that I have weigh in this Tuesday and the Nazi could possibly make me feel like a horrible person... UGH. Ok, not really, but I hate to disappoint people.

Anyway, I wanted to check in, say WUD UP double high five, and see if anyone else was having a hard week? I plan on doing some serious sewing this weekend instead of baking (my first true love) to reward myself with cute aprons and placemats, instead of and extra pound or two... bark, bark:)
