you'll have to forgive me...

since i had 4 days off, i decided apparently to shut down to life of any kind.  i rarely touched my computer, unless it had to do with a mindless computer game that i was playing "because i could". 

i was expecting this break to get me motivated and back on track.  it didn't do that.  it's a tough case.  I don't know if it's the working two jobs thing that is getting to me, or the actual job itself.  i'm not sure.  i'm thinking that it may be the two jobs thing.  i was banned from one job last week, due to my mother feeling like, if the one job wouldn't let me have time off for feeling bad, then she was going to make it mandatory that i be off on her watch.  it made life easy....er.  it wasn't great, but it was easier. 

we did the turkey trot on Thursday.  This is the one that we've done for three years now.  it was a good time and we all agreed, our best race yet.  it was a longer, 4 mile one, so it paved the way for some good thanksgiving eating this year at mom and dads!

we were going to sign up for another Chirstmas 4 miler, but to be honest, the cold may get to us.  it's HARD to get up and go run a race in 15 degree weather and to be honest, not something i really want to do on a regular basis.  so, well see.

we happened upon a website yesterday and t just had to show me.  it was a weight loss site, but he was really impressed by it, so i figured i had to watch.  i'm not all for gimmicky things...o.k., o.k., maybe i bought a steam shark, as seen on TV.  or maybe i've bought one or two things that you see on infomercials, but i've never bought them off the informercials...does that count?  anyway, this woman, who is a nutritionist had an eating plan on there that was amazingly honest and truthful.  it coordinated everythign that i believed in, along with some things that i knew in my head (like diet coke is NOT a food group).  it had to do with liver toxicity and the amount of toxins we put in our bodies and what our bodies do with that.  it had to do with clean eating and it enforced the idea that has been lingering in my head that i've been eating too little to lose weight.    Case in point, i ate like a PIG this weekend and lost weight. 

anyway, it was super cheap, we got all the materials immediately and seriously, was probably one of the best investments i've made.  the only thing is that you have to prepare ahead of time...this is tough, as i hardly have enough hours in the day to breathe, let alone plan breakfast, lunch, and two snacks. we'll see how it goes.  i'm really excited.
