I know it's not easy to lose weight, and you know it's not easy to lose weight. I've tried to keep perspective and keep looking at the long term goal. I go to the gym 5 days a week, 2 of which are the kick butt cycling class days. Besides, I'm trying to remember that last time (after G was born) I barely lost a pound until I stopped nursing her...ok, ok, be patient...
Today I went for the usual workout but completely UNMOTIVATED. Instead of the usual weights I focus solely on abs and then went for the usually cardio. I'm exhausted and the day has only begun! I run home and start to clean and get side tracked because I realize friends are coming over tonight, ok, I'll whip up a batch of cookies to share. I can be little mrs. homemaker...right? G is watching a movie, K is sleeping, I am cooking, everything is good. I take the cookies out of the oven, sample one, and put in the next batch. This is when it happens. I look over at my box of oatmeal and its COVERED in little creepy crawlies. Not just a few but probably at least 50!! I look at my delish cookies and sigh...
So I think, it's probably because I wasn't eating something healthy. So I throw together a nice spinach salad for lunch to make myself feel better: carrots, spinach, garden tomatoes, and a little lite ranch. Ok, feeling better UNTIL I bite into a raunchy, moldy tomato. I couldn't react fast enough and definitely swallowed before I could spit it out. (I'm tired and my reactions are a bit slow) Seriously, can I eat SOMETHING?? I'M STARVING and I feel like the "Gap Girl" played by Chris Farley on SNL.
Movie is over and it's nap time. I give up,
I go get another cookie and shove it down before I can think too much about it.
take that food gods!

They never go away...
Here are some tricks to help. Sprinkle coffee on the outside of your house...they hate it. Also, spray and wipe your counters with vinegar, and spray your window seals and doors with lemon and water mixture.
Seriously those suckers have not gone away. Good luck!
I totally feel your pain! Brook is 6 weeks tomorrow so I'm starting back on Pilates videos on Monday but I'm already starving from nursing. If you have any tips for filling/lo-cal snacks to help me get through afternoons without totally blowing it, email me.
HAHAH! I could pee my pants laughing right now. You poor poor thing!
Sometimes its just nice to go to bed at night and know that tomorrow is another day and it can't possibly get any worse, right? You are awesome about working out, I wish I were that motivated! I joined a "stroller gang" with a few ladies in my neighborhood/ward so I am finally getting some sort of exercise during the day, but going to the gym and running a 7 minute mile? Not me! Thats all you baby! You Rock!
This is something thats VERY frustrating to me!! I gained 50 lbs with Sophia and only lost half of it and it would NOT go away no matter how much i ran every single day for months! I finally thought that maybe it really didnt matter how much I worked out if I wasnt on a strict diet (which I wasnt) and I didnt want to be so I just gave up for the moment! I mean, I got pregnant again! But don't give up, something I did notice was maybe I wasn't losing but at least I wasn't Gaining either! someday, Ill be back at my little 120lbs......someday.....lol
