So, weighed myself this morning. 179.6. Blah. At least I didn't go up.
Yesterday was actually a good day - I did break down and have a slice of cake at lunch (I'm sorry, ticker!) so that shot my calorie count waaaaay up there. But I refrained from doing anything ultra dumb for the rest of the night, and even burned off some of the calories thanking my husband for the flowers he sent me last week. Wink wink.
On the exercise front, I am packing my uniform tonight in the hopes of rejoining the karate world! I'm gonna get my ass kicked. I know it, my ass knows it, and the teacher probably knows it too. Hopefully I'm doing a form I already know. *crossing fingers*

Tuesday Update & new reading material!
(one day late, shoot me)
So I was sick on Mon and Tues, didn't get to do anything. Lately I haven't been able to get up in the mornings, either, so that puts a damper on the morning-work-out wishes.
My jeans don't fit anymore, and I've hit my Highest Weight Ever (HWE for future reference), that weight that I don't want to go past EVER (future fetus weight included), so I'd better get to steppin' on this weight-loss thing.
I was browsing the bargain book section at borders this weekend (don't you LOVE all the alliteration in this post?) and came across a lovely cheap tome called The Gorgeously Green Diet, and while the bargain books are usually a bargain for a reason, I skimmed a few of the recipes in the back and couldn't pass this one up.
It has a lot of really good information. Besides having three main food plans based on your level of eco-madness, there are also websites to back up and search for everything, which tugs at the heartstrings of an internerd like me.
I'm only a third of the way through right now, just past the eating plans, and while I'm not sure if I can commit to every meal in my plan (I'm in the middle), I am going to try to commit to most. It's hard right now because - duh - it's winter. Welcome to PA, the Land of Dead Things and Potholes during winter. Which directly leads to the Land of Construction during summer.
I'll let you know more as I keep truckin' - there apparently is a password in the book which you can use at the website, which is another juicy tidbit for me. Anything that says "here, a secret password! and it has nothing to do with Ovaltine!" gets me all hot and bothered.
and my sister bought the original:
check it out at Amazon, yo.

Tuesday update
Yes, internets, I know it's been *longtime* since I updated. That's probably because I am ignoring the scale right now, as I hit the 180 mark and decided to have no more cake until my birthday. After New Year's, that will also turn into no pie or cookies. I just have some small things at the house to polish off first. I feel guilty not eating them after I spent all that time making/purchasing them! (I'm talking to you, eggnog pound cake and chocolate shoo-fly pie.)
So, I will have to start posting again - at least on Tuesdays and Saturdays, my weigh-in days. *sigh* here we go again.
