Happiness is not being able to go to sleep at 11:00pm after a long day.... wait, that doesn't sound right. Happiness is sitting here wide awake when I know if my head hit the pillow right now, I'd still only have 6 hours to sleep.... no...that's not right.
Oh, now I remember.... Happiness is blowing your diet big time at Red Robin tonight! It's chowing down some huge jalapeno burger and french fries, but not splurging too much by washing it down with a Corona "Lite". OK, as sarcastic as that may have sounded, I actually feel great for the first time in a week (mentally I mean) Don't get me wrong, I was really enjoying watching a pound a day fall off the scale. I actually made it to the third hole in my belt this week. First time since before Sydney was born. And for those of you who don't know, that was probably close to 5 years ago now.
BUT, I have been a complete raving, psychotic.... well, you know, for the past four or five days at least. I've decided something in my body is punishing me for rejecting sugar. So, today, I put a little sugar back in my diet and it was like waking up from a bad dream. I think I may have even smiled at a few people today.
Morale of the story... dieting may not be the way to go for me. I hate my weight, I want to look like I'm 30 again. (I'm sure most people might say 20, but I was in pretty great shape at 30). I want to feel like me again. (Another topic all together) I'll keep you posted on whatever crazy idea I come up with next.
Next....
Happiness is being addicted to all these catchy new blog ideas. For the 5 people who actually admit to reading my blog, I'm totally hooked on "Fix it Friday", "Not Me Monday", and potentially "True Story Tuesday" if Rachel decides to run with her new idea. Right now, I spend so much time reading every one's entries that I've only participated in one so far, but my mind is looking for ideas to post all the time. It's crazy. I've already got something for Not Me Monday that I just laugh about every time I think about it. I guess I should start a new post and get it ready. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what picture they give us to edit this Friday. I'm drumming up stories that might be worth retelling in my head right now so that I can share them on Rachel's page.
OK, it's now 11:30 and if I don't get to bed shortly, I'm afraid that I'll pass out on my desk at work tomorrow.
Sweet dreams to all my bloggy friends. : ) Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks for popping over from Heather's blog! I find the best way to handle a diet is not to deprive yourself all together, but to have a cheat day one a week. Some how, if my brain knows that on Sunday I can have a sundea, I'm ok about eating rabbit food the rest of the days! Just a suggection that works for me. :o) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAhh, diets don't work for me too! I try to force myself to get out for a good walk and find ways to "sneak" exercise in. Which usually isn't too hard with a busy 2-year old! Yes, jumping on the bed counts as exercise :)
ReplyDeleteHey... you know that Red Robin is our blog-hookup place down here! I wish we would have known you'd be there and I would have blown a diet with you too! :)
Can't wait to see your stories on True Story Tuesday!
And by the way... lots more people usually visit than are listed as followers. I didn't have any followers forever, but some really sweet people were always there to leave comments when there was a parenting horror story enough to warrant one, haha.
Have a great Friday!
