Not much going on here at the homestead. After all of the excitement of the New Year, I have gotten lazy. And with getting lazy, that means that food choices are all screwy again.
I had to go to the store the other day for some milk and mushrooms. Well I ended up finding some slow cooked ribs, full racks, two for $12.99!!!! Steal!!! Ok now I don't have to cook. Actually it wasn't so much as not having to cook, it was not wanting to wash dishes!!!
So yesterday, Jim and I shared a rack of ribs. They went down with no problem. I could have even finished off the other rack!!! Jim, who made me sick, was full after 4 ribs. What is this, I am the one that had the surgery. I'm the one with a stomach the size of an egg!!! Why is it that I still crave and can eat HUGE amounts of food?!?!!!?! I DON'T eat huge amounts, but the desire and ability IS there!!! *Sigh*
I have been very good about not eating out. Our meals....have been very....well....eclectic lately. I have eaten hard boiled egg whites with some mayo for breakfast for two days now. Jim really hates my decision on this but......or should I say butt.....lol!!!! The eggs have been easy to swallow and they are quick to fix.
For lunch today we had the other rack of ribs. Since they went down so easy yesterday, I figured that today would be a breeze too. NOT!!!! I don't think I was eating faster than yesterday, the ribs weren't any greasier, the only difference was that they were not staying down. It probably didn't help that I have a chest cold and had taken medicine earlier to loosen up some of the phlegm. No matter what the case, I lost part of my lunch. I let my throat settle down again, and was able to eat 2 more ribs.
I have really got to get back on track with paying attention to eating, and I have to get back to the gym. I need to lose 36 pounds by Feb. and I don't see any way of reaching it, but I'm going to try. I know this is not a healthy act for normal people, but I'm not normal. By cutting down my portion sizes, and getting exercise in, I should be able to easily lose at least 20 pounds. Trust me, I will not starve myself by no means, so please no lectures. Hee hee.
I'm going to try and get to the gym tomorrow morning before Jim goes off to work. That means....ugh....I'll be at the gym by 4am!!!! Just me and my tunes sweating through the holiday cheer of 2009/2010!!!
I'll let ya know who wins out tomorrow, the bed or the gym....I have my bet on the bed, but I've never been a good gambler anyway!!!
