Out with the simple, in with the complex: Starting Again
Well, today is the day.
I TRIED starting the SBD yesterday, only it was a BAD day to start given we had a birthday party to go to. But I did walk all over Beaverton, OR for 2-3 hours pushing Eva in her stroller.
Eva is 7 1/2 mos old now and I havent been breastfeeding for a few months. Im figuring that with the new diet and an added excersize element, I should be losing pretty quick. My scale I just bought is now missing feet, so I have to go get another one. Hopefully it will be today and I can record my weight. For those of you following me, writing down your daily diet and weight before and after is a good incentive. I know some places say
"Forget the scale!" but it has been vital to my personal weight loss. Im an instant gratification sort of gal- so having that small vice really helps me.
Now that we live in Oregon, I have a few dance clubs I can go to which is something I didnt persue before. I am eager to be able to go clubbing without looking like I just had a baby- or five, for that matter.
I am also looking to get my hands on a videocamera to try a daily videoblog while I do the diet. We will ahve to see.

Being a Loser Tomorrow
I know it's been a bit since I blogged- it's been busy.
I stuck to my diet full fold- no cheating, but at a little over a week and a half I realized I am going to have to stop.
When I went to the store last week, 2 scales told me I had lost 5 pounds- but this new scale shows me heavier than I started. Not to say I gained weight- the scale could be off, but I realized that since Eva doesnt really care for my breastmilk, I should hold it off until she is taking in her own solids.
People say I look thinner- maybe I feel thinner therefore I look it too? Either way, I will have to go back to walmart to see I guess. :-)

Jyn's Egg Salad
Well, i found a great way to make a yummy meal that keeps to the diet.
JYNS SBD EGG SALAD
Boiled eggs
handful Bean Sprouts
Mayonaise
mustard
salt and pepper
cottage cheese (nonfat)
shredded lowfat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 a Celery stalk cut in half lengthwise and then chopped
A few rings of onion thinly cliced and chopped (about 1/4 a cup)
I usually make this with about 1-2 tablespoons of mayo, the Cottage cheese helps it go farther. Mix it all up and if all the vedgies equal a 1/2 cup then I can eat the whole thing. Otherwise I portion it out to last throughout the day. VERY yummy. My recent fav.

Day 4: Heinous Hormones
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 peices of Turkey bacon, decaf coffee with splenda
Lunch: Special egg salad, pop
Dinner: Er... um... nothing? :-O
Ive been irritable today. Lots of web work to do- websites to troubleshoot,I havent had time to eat and I had to go get a cake for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. FUN FUN FUN!
Actually, I have found that the worst time for cravings for me- is when I am alone and searching for food, not when Im around a lot of it.
I have been very good, no licking of the icing, no 'just a little taste's... although I have no clue how much I weight which bugs the poop out of me. Really helped last time.

DAY 1: OFFICIAL Start of my SBD
Well, I have been thinking about this a lot, and I feel it's time to start my diet. Today is day 1 of my diet and so far, i have been a complete Idiot. One thing you will find in changing a habit, is exactly how habitual your day normally is.
I wasted 2 perfectly good cups of decaf Folgers coffee by routinely pouring sugar in it. TWO cups! I caught myself with the first one, dumped it out- proceeded to make another cup only to DO THE SAME EXACT THING!
Shhh, dont tell- it's just between you and me *wink*.
So, Anyway, 3rd time's the charm I guess. So here I am drinking Decaf coffee with Splenda. I have to get used to it if I'm going to fit anything worth fitting with figure.
I will be posting my daily meals and, as soon as I get a new battery for my scale, my weight for the day .
BREAKFAST: 2 Eggs, 2 peices of lowfat turkey lunchmeat slices with 3 onion rings chopped, dill, 1/4 cup of brocoli, and skim milk cheese 2 peices of turkey bacon
DRINK: decaf coffee with spenda sweetener, water
LUNCH: egg salad made of 4 hardboiled eggs, 1 tbl of mayo, 1 tbl of artificially sweetened relish, salt pepper
DRINK: Diet pop
SNACK: 1 skim milk string cheese stick, diet pop
DINNER: Sweadish meatballs without the noodles or sauce. (OH was this yum)
I havent been able to weight myself because, well, my scale's battery is dead. Hey, I got it 4 years ago, it's about time I guess. So, I am going to go get another battery and then I can post my weight. OH! And BTW- my husband is joining me in this diet, so once we get his blog up- I will list the link.

Strange Days
Today was one of those 'Strange' days. Actually, I think it started yesterday, which just happened to be Monday, go figure. Was there a particular reason Garfield hates Mondays?
Yesterday my maintenence guy and fellow friend was kind enough to bring over his SteamVac™ Dual V™ Widepath™ With Auto Rinse™ Carpet cleaner for me to use. I reccomend it fullheartedly. It was simple to use, not too expensive for the soap, and it lasted quite a while.
So, after all the hard work of vacumming, picking up things, moving furniture, steamcleaning and scrubbing spots- I had a perma-grin for the rest of the evening because of my newly clean home. Nothing beats the feeling like you can actually LAY on your carpet and not sit up dirtier than when you layed down.
Back to today- I decided I would go off to a few bargain stores for some cheap-n-good items. I went to a Liquidators World where there was discount dry food- got a few items from there. One, of which, was this special coffee. Opening the package this evening, it smelled rather similar to fresh earth. After brewing it, it tasted no different. So, I'm calling it my earth coffee. It's very different, and we all need a change of tastes once and a while.
I then headed off to Value Village. There, I picked up a pair of shoes for all 5 kids, some outfits for Eva, and best of all- a Bell & Howell One Nine 8MM video camera. It's as if my little creative teacup has been filled!
Now, Im off to see where I can find both the film that goes to it and any willing person to explain to me how to work the thing.

Being a Loser all over again
So, I'm back. :-) And Im happy to be here.
Eva Bella was born February 10th, 2006 at 3:26pm and on that day I was 165 pounds.
Lately Ive been battling a mean case of mastitis (a breast infection) which actually caused me to lose a few more pounds than I already have, but Im down to 143 not even 3 weeks postpartum.
My goal this time, is to get down to the low 120's. My pre-pregnancy weight was 133, so I want to go another 20 oounds under that.
