Do-Over!!

Ok, so the last two weeks have sucked for diet, and I call a do-over! I wasn't prepared, I had no menu, Thanksgiving was right around the corner. You know, any excuse I could think of. However, now I am ready to go. I have the shopping list just about ready, and the resolve. I even passed up chocolate this morning.... So, per the Wii fit I weigh 182.5 lbs. Goal is to loose 10 lbs by the 22nd of December. Wish me luck, I'll need it!

Day 1

Yesterday was day 1 of starting back on the South Beach diet. It went Ok. I kept having to stop myself from eating bad stuf. I'd think, ooh, a cracker. Then, nope, can't have that right now! I did forget at one point and ate a gluten free fig cookie thing. At least it was gluten free, right? All went well until Mike suggested Blimpie sandwiches for dinner. Since I haven't told him we're South BEachin' it, he didn't know we couldn't have bread. So we had Blimpie for dinner. No biggy. Then, at 10:30 last night, I lost all my will power, because I was really hungry. On the table there was still carrot cake. It was gluten free, again... But that doesn't really matter and I had a really big piece.
I;m not going to tell Mike we're on South Beach again, because he'll roll his eyes at me. The last 2 times we've gone on it, I've gotten pregnant right after, so it didn't last. Why? Because I can't stomach whole wheat when I'm pregnant, and I give in to cravings. Hey, when I'm pregnant I can do that. However, that's also why I have 60lbs to loose... Don't worry, I won't be getting pregnant this time. Daniel's only 9 weeks old and exclusively breast fed, so I have no period yet. When I got pregnant with Daniel, Dagan was 15 months old and eating solids, so Aunt Flo had mad her appearance months earlier.
Speaking of Daniel, I hear him squwaking from the kitchen where he's in his swing, so I'm off to get him!

Sugar

I've decided I'm a sugar addict. Seriously. Last night, after everyone was in bed, I broke into my secret stash of chocolate. It's the left over Halloween candy, well, some of it. Mike told me to pack up all the candy so he could take it to work and put it in the break room. Whenever he takes something in, it's gone within hours, if not within an hour. I packed up all but one bag and put it at the top of the shelves in the kitchen. I'm not supposed to be eating candy, it's part of the deal. Mike can't have chips at bedtime, and I can't have sugar. I started to panic when he told me we couldn't keep the candy. I kept thinking, but I need it! What happens if I feel the need for something sweet?? Ahhhh!!! Yeah, no good. Mike goes to bed before me, and it all works out because I usually sneak some kind of sugary yummy into my tummy. Actually, I'm sleeping in the living room with the baby, so I can have candy/cookies any time I want at night. Really, really, no good at all. Next week I start the South Beach Diet again. I did really well on the last time, and I didn't havae the super duper sugar cravings. So, I'd better eat all the candy while I can!! No, no, I won't. Promise.

Introduction

Hi everyone,
My name is Misti and I live in Colorado with my husband, 2 sons and step-son. This blog is where I'll share all my tales... or tails, whichever it may be. My first adventure is going to be about my attempt to loose to baby weight and then some by bikini season 2010. However, now I have to go tend to dinner and stop my oldest from jumping off the couch and spitting on the window...
