Too much booty in the pants.

I just returned from spending a lovely weekend in Hutchinson, Kansas for my good friend, Katie's wedding. It was wonderful. I had a great time hanging out with Katie and was so happy to be apart of her day. She looked beautiful and I know that she and Louie will be so happy together!

Now returning home? Not as happy. I've been feeling....let's say....like a FAT ASS lately. Super chubs. Chunky monkey. Too much junk in the trunk. My badonk is outta control. And not just my badonk. My belly, hips, thighs, arms, FACE! Even my face feels fat. So last night when I went to the bathroom I decided to step on the scale and lo and behold I'm back to the weight I was before I lost a few lbs earlier this year. So crap. It comes as no surprise. I've been eating like a pig lately. But this chunk is not welcome. It cannot stay. I've got to do something about it!

But the doing something is the hard part. As far as the exercise goes I have plenty of time. Hello?? Teacher. Not working 'til August! I did go to Dog Days a couple of times. But I have to get up at 5:30!!!! LIKE IN THE MORNING. That's too early for me in the summer time. So that's an obstacle. I just have to exercise on my own at a more reasonable hour. But then the question is, what do I do? I have a bike. I like to bike. That's an option. Running is out. I don't move quickly unless something is chasing me. We have a Kinect and a pretty fun dance game. There's a idea. Or I could go over to our "gym" at our apartment. Swimming is an option too. Okay...so I guess I got exercise figured out.

Now the eating. Man I love eating. I love food. I love tasty food. I love to cook and eat and be full and happy. I know I can still eat and be full and happy while trying to lose weight. I just need to make better choices. That's not hard. I know what's good and what's bad. It's just that the bad is sooooo yummy! I have a LIVESTRONG.com account that I started using a few months ago. I have not kept up. I can use it to track my calories and make sure I'm being smart. I just need to stick with it.

And then there's Brian who should win the award for most supportive boyfriend EVER! He thinks I'm pretty even if I feel like a beached whale. He tells me he'll do whatever I need him to while I try to remove some booty. AND he's super nice about it. He asked what he should say to help me not cheat with out being bossy. Gosh I love him.

I know I've had a blog like this before with all my grand weight loss plans that puttered out when things got rocky and I got distracted. But things are not rocky now. Things are the opposite of rocky. Smooth sailing. Great boyfriend, great family, great friends, great new job. Not too many distractions. I can stick with it. Here I go!
