Protein High

So I stuck with the diet, with some modifications. I learned that the diet I was on was actually made for much bigger people than me and that was why everyone was losing so much weight and I wasn't. I have maybe 10 lbs to lose so...It works for me, too, but with a few changes such as no "cheat days". I maybe get one cheat meal, but no whole days of pigging out. Not sure how that even works for the big people, actually. Also, I started exercising. This is not something that is emphasized in the diet book I read. But you know what? I feel amazing. I have way more energy. I don't know if it is the high protein diet, more exercise or what but it's like I have a runner's high all the time. Especially in the morning. Also, I am sore, good sore. It feels really good. I'm not weighting myself for a while though. This is the first week I decided to really ramp it up and I want to see really good results when I finally check out what this is doing for me and my body.

Not weighing yourself is the best idea you've had about this diet phase you have been in! No one cares how much you weigh, certainly not ment. What is more important is how you look, especially ultimately naked, but obviously more clothed to get to that point, ha. So, instead of aiming for an arbitrary number b/c that is what you think or someone else weights, have a goal of what you want to look like in say a swimsuit, a dress, naked, whatever. Then you can adjust your diet and workout to get the image you want, which is afterall what people see when they notice another person, not the number on a scale! Case in point, I don't even know what my wife weighs nor have I ever cared, but I know exactly how she looks in various stages of (un)dress.

haha. Yes, that is the conclusion I started coming to, too. I've been working on my arms and running a bit more. I spoke to a neighbor friend of mine who used to be big and lost a lot of weight. He told me to drink more water so I'm doing that. I think, even with all the "scientific" research it seems every diet book contradicts each other and is full of bunk. It really is calories in, calories out and just eat right so you don't over eat. That's it.

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
