How to gain 3 lbs in 2 days.

First - get in a funk and feel really crappy about yourself.
Second - don't exercise at all.
Thirdly - take your kids to a cookie buffet and eat as much as you want.
Fourth - Stop eating a healthy breakfast.

And that should about do it. Impressive, right?

Okay I'm getting tired of saying this, but really. I have a vision of what I want to look like. What I want to be. I need to make sure everything I do helps me reach that goal. Not deters from it. I'm going to start praying about it again. This is a spiritual as much as a physical journey.

And I really want to run. It was therapeutic and I miss it. Going to find a way.

So yeah 225.6. Let's not talk about that. And I feel like crap. C'mon Monday, do your best.

meh.

I really need to get back in the habit of exercising. I picked on a lot of junk today. And then I made these ridiculous doughnuts. And ate three of them. One thing I am going to start being perfect at is taking my reliv. I have been feeling like crapola lately. I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr(bahr?) when I was like 15. Lately I have been feeling like things are getting worse. My joints hurt. I'm tired all. the time. I feel crabby. I don't even want to care about being fat. I just don't feel good. And I haven't been taking my reliv. I hope this doesn't come across as sounding like I'm endorsing or selling something on my blog. I'm not, so who cares? But I know when I take it, I feel better. Like a thousand times better. So I took it tonight. And my single solitary only goal from now to Christmas is to take Reliv twice a day.

I'm hoping that by doing this I'll feel better, and in turn lose weight. We'll see. I am also starting to get a little obsessed with the scale. 223 as of this morning. Time goes so fast when you're trying to lose weight. When I wrote about that last goal to be 200 by Christmas, Christmas seemed so far away. Now it seems so close.

I also think sleeping better would obviously help me feel better. So if anyone out there in the universe knows a way to get my kids to sleep past 5:30, I'm open to suggestions.

depressed

So I'm in a bit of a funk. I was doing so well before Thanksgiving. I haven't worked out since Thanksgiving. My skin is broken out. And I'm 2 pounds HEAVIER than I was last week. I saw a picture of myself that made me want to die.

And I can't even blame my Mirena.

Well since it's only been a month and a half since it's been out maybe my body is still balancing out?

It's depressing to have your baby turn 1, and still weigh more than you did when you got pregnant.

And seriously why do I still have acne?? It used to bother me a lot as a teenager, than I stopped caring about it, and now that I'm in my mid-twenties it's bothering me again. I mean really I do not want to have gray hair and zits.

So I read today this person stopped breaking out after removing dairy, sugar and gluten from her diet she stopped breaking out. I wish I could do that. I really don't think I could. I also feel like people who are on strict diets like kind of let that define them. I don't want to become what I eat. It's just what I eat. Not who I am. Ya know? Ugh. I'll get there, right.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp

This is so yummy. Have I posted the recipe before?
It's from skinnytaste.com. This is the first recipe I tried from there. I just found it by googling "cilantro lime shrimp". This is seriously soooo good. Like so so good. I served it with white rice. I know, I know, whole grains and brown is soo much better, and 9/10 I use brown rice, but this just goes so well with white. I used Jasmin rice, does that make it any better?
