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!

Leaps and bounds

My baby  girl is getting so big! Today is a pretty big day for the missus.  I'll try to recap all of the firsts I have witnessed. 1.) When she woke up, she squealed ," Mommy!  Brother!  Daddy?" when I went in to get her.  She seemed disappointed that daddy was already at work. 2.) She asked for more cheese at lunch. 3.) She went straight to sleep at nap time, and slept almost 3 hours. 4.) She took a bite of her frozen yogurt in a tube, said, "Hot!" and blew on it to cool it down. 5.) She got super fussy when we were playing downstairs.  She kept reaching for me and saying, "UP!"  After a few questions, she said she was hungry and wanted a snack.  I said, "You know, you can just say "I'm hungry" and we'll take care of you. She looked at me in the face and said, "I'm hungry". 6.) I had her on my hip when the boys were finishing the basement pick-up before getting a snack.  Z pointed at the stairs and said, ...

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...

Turning over a new leaf

So... as of the 26th of October, I am gallbladderless. Seriously, that organ can suck it... she was no friend of mine. The aftermath has been an eye opening situation.  I feel tons better than I really should days after surgery.  Needless to say, I am finding out what my limitations are very quickly.  I cannot carry laundry baskets.  I cannot walk thru Michaels for yarn then survive the rest of the day without a nap. I also can't hang out with my daughter alone for 3 hours without requiring a nap. I kind of feel like a really old lady.... that is awesome and not nauseous and can eat whatever the hell she wants! I'm trying not to get too excited about getting back to running, and just concentrating on feeling better. The recovery process has also held some sadness.  I finally realized how bad I had been feeling on a daily basis... how sick I had become over the course of a year.  A dear friend told me before my surgery, "You have a rotting organ insid...
