The estimated date of arrival is TOMORROW! Yahoo, my BodyBugg should be here tomorrow. Oh, thank goodness. I know it sounds really dumb, but I’m excited. I’m excited at the opportunity for more accurate numbers.
I’ve been using SparkPeople to track my food consumption and *ahem* lack of activity. I’m trying to get into the mentality of limiting my calories right now and so far so good. Don’t get me wrong, really, I’m learning how quickly a little tiny brownie or an extra helping of someones delicious pot luck dish can throw your daily calories over the top. But, that’s GOOD.
I’ve also instituted my “pregnancy” diet. Haha, you might ask, what the heck is a “pregnancy diet?” Well my friends, my pregnancy diet is alcohol free. During both of my pregnancies I ended up loosing a ton of weight (less my second pregnancy, but I wasn’t as overweight to begin with). And, I can only attribute it to one thing, I stop drinking all alcohol. Okay, I’m being realistic here, I’m not totally cutting out alcohol, as I know that is unrealistic. I LIKE beer and wine, and it’s CHRISTMAS time for goodness sakes, I have an obsession with Holiday ales. And, a fortunate or unfortunate reality is that both sides of the family are lushes, and so we drink – a lot – over the holidays.
But, I’ve cut out any alcohol mid-week. I’m allowing myself to have a few Friday-Saturday nights, but Sunday through Thursday are officially no booze days. And, over my Christmas holiday, I’ll allow myself to enjoy a drink here and there when I’m visiting my husbands family. But, I’ll have my BodyBugg strapped on to keep me on task, and I’ll have to be accountable to every drip and morsel I consume, and that’s a GOOD thing.
Unfortunately, the weather here is just beyond COLD, unseasonably COLD, right now. I’m admitting to being a wimp right now, and I’m not going to work out in negative temps. I’m also justifying it by saying, hey these are lifetime changes you’re implementing, so take one step at a time and food is the biggest culprit, so let’s begin getting a handle on that and then add activity. Sounds good right? I know, deep down inside it’s just an excuse. But, again, it’s not really irrational either.
Did I mention I’m so dang excited for that little piece of technology to arrive?
