So this past week I was getting ready to go to Las Vegas and on Thursday was trying to figure out what to pack, etc. I knew it was going to be hot so I fished around in my closet and pulled out some capri pants that I hadn’t worn since last summer. I put them on and had an omgwtfbbq moment! They were, um…tight. Yes, I got them buttoned and zipped but would I wear them out of my bedroom? No friggin way! lol I knew that I hadn’t been eating that well over the last 6 months or so but I had no idea that my ass had grown so much! 🙂
I didn’t overeat in Vegas but I was slightly more conscientious about what I was eating. Yesterday I decided that I was going back on my eating plan. I’m doing the same program that I did a few years ago (3 years ago I had lost 20 pounds and have now gained a total of 12.5 back! oy!) which is www.myfooddiary.com. 
It’s basically an online food diary where I keep track of what I’ve eaten and how much I’ve exercised and it helps keep me in line. It tells me how many calories to eat each day to achieve my goal and it works. Too bad I’ve let things slide! Anyway…I figured if I put this out there I’ll have a sounding board and be able to let you celebrate with me when I do good and let you chastise me when I do badly! lol
The second thing is…my guest review for Mastering the Marquess by Vanessa Kelly is being posted this afternoon at The Book Binge. Go check it out. Here’s the link.
London, 1815
Country spinster Meredith Burnley will do anything to save her half-sister Annabel, including risking her own life and sacrificing her only chance for happiness. When Annabel’s guardian threatens to lock her up in a lunatic asylum, Meredith vows to find a husband to protect the girl, and the arrogant and powerful Marquess of Silverton seems like the perfect man to keep Annabel safe.<br /> <img src="http://www.vanessakellyauthor.com/images/cover_marquess.jpg" width="201" align="left" height="325" hspace="15" />The ton’s most popular rake, Silverton hides a growing disgust with his inability to feel any emotion for the beautiful girls thrown his way. But he needs to marry, and Annabel will serve his purposes. Silverton is stunned, however, by his fierce attraction to the unfashionable Meredith, whose quiet ways conceal a passionate and sensual nature. He’s determined to claim her, in spite of his promise to woo her sister.Meredith knows she must never betray Annabel, or succumb to the charms of the sophisticated Marquess of Silverton. Her willpower, though, is no match for his skillful and relentless seduction, or the temptation of forbidden love. But her surrender to passion soon puts Meredith and Annabel in danger, and only Silverton can rescue them. The arrogant Marquess must be willing to risk everything--especially his heart--or lose Meredith, and his last chance for love.
There is a my food diary online? I may have to check that out.
Lately I have been eating everything in sight. If only I could loose another 10-15 pounds.
I here what you are saying Tracy. I went to a big family do at the weekend and all my cousins posted up the photos on Facebook. All I could think when I saw the photos of me was ‘who is that fat woman?’. *sigh* I need to lose a lot more than 12 pounds :(.
or even hear what you are saying. I need an early night.
I swear my day would be so much better if I didn’t have to think about what I eat! That is a cool online thing though:)
Yay! We’ll do it together. I’ll get back to Monday Reckonings.
KB – yep, it’s pretty cool. You have to be diligent about entering your food during the day or at least writing it down so that you can enter it in the evenings but it’s worth the effort.
Jenre – Oh I don’t even like looking at pictures of myself. I don’t consider myself fat, but I’m not liking the extra poundage! lol
Mandi – Amen Sister!! Seriously we have so much going on in our lives why can’t we just have faster metabolisms? 🙂
Lori – absolutely! I like to weigh in on Mondays as well because then I tend to be better on the weekends. 🙂
