Diary of a Fat girl ep 1

Here we are again...
I started the Couch to 5k program again this morning!  It was getting increasingly difficult to occupy 2 children simultaneously while in a different room.  Since JP started preschool this week, and Z woke up early enough to nap right after he was dropped off, I finally had the time to hit the treadmill for 30 min or so.  It felt great! 
Now all that needs to happen is a stricter diet.  I kind of hate all the people that pioneered the whole "processed food" business.  With the white sugar and white rice and flour and bread and pasta.  They're off my Christmas card list.  All of them.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't all taste so good! 
Now that Z is on her way to being completely weaned (by her own choice.... and the fact that she bites me unless it's first thing in the morning)  I have been enjoying a cup or 4 of coffee.  And with that comes all the fabulous, addictive coffee creamers.  The Coldstone creamery flavor, and the York peppermint patty, and the Almond Joy. 
Coffeemate is off the list, too.
Not to mention all the tempting places that are in the vicinity of my house and the preschool.
(Thought that ran thru my head earlier this week:  I'm out, and prolly won't get back home until after JP is done with school... sure, I'll get a breakfast sandwich and a donut!!  I don't do it everyday!)
Tim Hortons... off the list.
I did behave myself last night and made red beans and brown rice.  I had to add sour cream, tho... due to accidentally adding double the amount of cayenne pepper ... My husband thought it was delicious.
I had every intention of going vegetarian after the first of the year.  I made it 2 days, and still felt all shaky and weird, despite eating myself silly on veggies and such.  I broke down and ate a ham sandwich, and all was well with the world. 
I don't know if it was because I have since had kiddos, but I went veggie for several months right before my son was conceived.  Who knows.  Apparently it doesn't work for me anymore!
Until next time!  This fat girl needs to get ready to pick up my little mister!

Fried Rice!

I was sooooooooo done with yesterday. After a pretty cranky day, I decided that I wanted fried rice for dinner. So I jumped onto the website for an Asian restaurant down the street from our house (they also deliver, cause I was feeling super extra lazy) and order some house fried rice, and a few things for my husband.  I got an order confirmation email right away. So we wait. ...and wait. ...and wait. ...and wait some more. 45 minutes tick by, then an hour.  I go back to the website to grab a phone # to make sure our order will get here before the place closes.  That's when i see they aren't even open on saturdays. *dramatic music* *falls to knees and shakes fist at the sky while simultaneously  bursting into tears* NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! So i warmed up some squash and ate some refrigerator candy... which was good, but not what my uterus... er.... belly wanted. So, i set out  to make some myself.  At first it just started...

Monday. Clearly.

My husband woke me up this morning around 7:40 before he headed to work.  I snuggled back under the covers for a few minutes and checked my Facebook.  I admit, I'm totally addicted.  Since I quit my job to stay home with the kiddos, it's my main means of communication with just about everyone.  Anywho, I see on there that JP's school is closed today due to a water-main break.  My heart sunk.  I was so looking forward to the 2.5 hours of freedom after the day I had with the boy yesterday. If my life were a movie, this is the point where the scene would fade out, probably with some cheesy music, and the following would be in soft focus to further illustrate the flash-backiness. Yesterday was rough.  JP was cranky pants from the getgo, screaming every time I said something that he didn't like, or gave an answer he didn't like.  Everything was "WHY?!?!?!?!" Church felt awkward to me.  I felt like all eyes were on me and my screaming kid....

Social media fast day one

Welp, today was eventful, but not. It was the kickoff to the spring semester for me, which meant I was overwhelmed from the time I woke up.  Unfortunately, I also woke up with some serious sinus pressure in my head, and some serious congestion to accompany it. So, what's a girl to do but make some ginger concentrate. I sliced a real big ginger root with my mandolin and simmered it in my biggest saucepan for a few hours. Add a splash of this stuff to a mug of hot water and a touch of honey... you have hot, not so sweet, gingerale. It's pretty awesome, and has helped open my head up a bit. After my big adventure out of the house for pens (which, as it turns out, I didn't really need) to keep myself organized for this semester, I got some Thai Kitchen noodle bowls, which is basically my option for Gluten free ramen. They come with rice noodles and spices. I decided the mushroom bowl I made needed , well, mushrooms. Luckily I had some in the fridge. I successfully resisted t...
