not much....

Well, not too much to tell .... I just thought I would let you know that I'm still here since it's been awhile since my last post.

I am still going to the gym about 3 times a week and weekends we do all our visiting. It is so nice out lately I feel like I'm getting spring fever but at the same time I'm anxious to look good for the summer. I really need to get on this new diet plan so I can get serious about weight loss, I'd really like to look a little better before race season starts!! Pretty soon I will need to buy new pants, either a bigger size or I need to loose weight so that the ones I have fit better! I sometimes wonder just how much of a role my gallbladder had in weight loss and maybe that is the reason that it seems harder this time. The gallbladder is suppose to break down the fat we ingest and if we don't have one then what? I sometimes wish I never had the surgery, at least then I would be too scared to eat fat. The fear of having a gallstone attack was enough to keep me eating healthy!! I also find now that if I do have a treat and I weigh in the next day totally expecting to see a gain that I am often surprised to see a loss!? Which in turn makes me want to cheat more but then it back fires and I have a huge gain?! I'm really excited for April 1st and starting this mini-challenge with the guy I work with, hopefully by then I will be ready to start my new diet!! Which I'm sure most of you are curious to hear which one I have decided on .... well ... I'm kinda leaning more towards Wonderslim, which is very similar to the Ideal Protein diet that my girlfriend is on and has lost almost 40lbs in 8 weeks!! :o But it doesn't seem as strict and you are allowed a fruit and starch in the morning. I think it would just work better my lifestyle right now. It would be very hard for me to stick to a diet that I had to eat lots of salad on. During the week wouldn't be a problem at all but on the weekends it would be hard, I often eat my lunch in the car, on the go, while Jacob naps. Right now I need a diet that is easy, a grab and go type diet. Then as I get closer to my goal weight I can always re-adjust my diet so that the transition will be easier.

This weekend my hubby and I plan on taking Jacob to the Mom, Pop and Tot fair. I think I might regret my decision later.... it's going to be a mad house, with all the parents and strollers, screaming kids... etc. I'm sure I will be very frustrated and ready for a nap by the time we leave but I am also looking forward to seeing Jacob in the petting zoo and hopefully he will enjoy a pony ride?! I also have never been to one before so I'm curious to see what it's all about? I will make sure to let you know on Monday if it was worth the headache or not!? ;)
