The first of many blogs about my fatness. Oh yeah. I said it.
In case you didn't already know, I'm a sparker. What that means is that I identify myself in part by a website I like to frequent and a website that has done great things for me in the past. Its kind of like being a "trekkie" or a "tubie" or something like that. (P.S...I totally just made up tubie...as in youtubie...did you get it? ha ha ha) Only for me - its Sparkpeople.
So, I have some good friends on that sight and we essentially motivate each other to lose weight. Only the thing is that unless you are really feeling it - you yo-yo...which, I hate to have to admit this now....is what I did all last year. Up and down ...up and down.
But at the new year I decided to scare myself straight. So, I got online and read all about Type 2 Diabetes. I'm prone to being diagnosed with it. I had gestational diabetes...I am overweight...I like carbs... And scare me it did.
So - here I am at the end of week one and I lost 4.6 pounds this week! Wooohooo!
How did I do it?
1. I ate right.
2. I exercised daily.
Sheesh. I hate it that those back to the basic methods are the ones that work. But they do.
I checked myself out in the mirror today to see where the "nearly" 5 pounds left from. I'm thinking it was my left foot. Weird, right? But my left foot slipped into my boots much easier today than it did yesterday. And I was wearing thicker socks. (Aren't my powers of deduction stupefying?)

Accountability...
ac·count·abil·i·ty noun \ə-ˌkaun-tə-ˈbi-lə-tē\
Definition of ACCOUNTABILITY
: the quality or state of being accountable; especially : an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.
And in my case I'm talking about New Year's Resolutions.
Normally I spend a bunch of time writing down a long list of things I need to improve, but I'm taking a different approach this year. This year I have TWO resolutions.
1. I will learn German... Ok...so thats really all I need to say about that one. I was going to write a paragraph about the who what when where and why's, but I think this one is pretty self explanatory. What I WILL say about this one is that its pretty embarrassing to squeak out my germenglish language...perhaps you remember my faux paux about ein leetle shpoona? I will never live that down. Its almost as bad as when I pronounced chihuahua as chi hooah hooah...I had no idea thats how you spelled the Taco Bell dog. Or...how about this one...I was playing online scrabble against someone and said to John, I know what a tictac is, but whats a tactic? Oh man...he still teases me about that...but I digress and my resolution is to learn German...not English. I'll keep that one for another year.
2. I will get healthy. Woah...I know...right? Thats a BIG one. See why I only have two resolutions this year? I've broken it down into some mini-goals that I'm tracking by week and month...the two biggest being eating better and exercise. Yeah yeah yeah... I KNOW I put this resolution every year, but I've got some big plans riding on it this year. AND...just to be accountable I plan on once per week marking my progress...right here on this blog...for all the world to see.
Lucky you.
Happy New Year!
And your resolution is to CLICK ME!

Happy New Year!
I would like to announce that as of 10:49PM on January 1st I have succeded in keeping ALL of my New Year's Resolutions! Just 364 more days of this and you will be amazed at the increased beauty, wit, style, intelligence and dramatic flair I exude.
Seriously.
Hey...stop laughing.
The reality is I rang in the New Year watching X-files with a little glass of bubbly fanta and a kazoo. Yep - we got really wild around here.
The girls had a long day and made it until the late hour of 8:36 where the crying and drama got to be so much that Madmad actually ASKED to go to bed.
So, let me lift my glass of Fanta and blow a little love through that kazoo and wish you all a very happy new year. May 2011 bring you magic and wonder! Read More...
