March… ALREADY?!

This morning I turned my little calendar page over and that MARCH slapped me in the face it seems like!

I can’t believe it’s already March!

Couple of things on my mind:

1. Spring is here. Well not officially until March 20th, or so my handy dandy calendar says… But it seems like it. That is not really worthy of note since everybody frickin knows this, but its a HUGE deal at the Escobedo house. It means LBs. LADY BUGS! <– (Not a happy exclamation mark.) This means looking over my shoulder everytime I am cooking, or hear a ‘clink’ somewhere around the lightbulbs or the windows… I know they don’t bite, but they give me the creeps… We have had this talk before. I am getting more brave around them though. We bought a fly swatter so now I am not so nervous like, "DID I GET IT?" The broom gives them a chance to crawl up in there and hide, or only stunns them. There is no second guesses with that fly swatter. One swat and I know I got it! Isnt that horrible? 

2. I am doing good so far with my 1200 calorie a day diet. It’s not perfect, but it’s getting there. Sunday I was able to say NO to that 3rd slice of pizza.     Last Tuesday?? I said NO to that 3rd enchilada. (It was really really really hard.) I make some bomb ass enchiladas.

I started crying on the dinner table and yelled at my husband for being able to eat 4 times as much as me and not gain weight like I do,  like it was his fault. He kept stuffing his mouth with enchiladas, and tried to give me a little pep talk like, "You gotta stay focused. You can do this." I was angry at him, I guess I wanted him to stop eating and suffer like me? I dont know.

I finally had a bite of the 3rd enchilada. Still did not eat 6 like I normally would.

I am excercising pretty much 6 days a week. Burning 200- 230 calories each day. Not like hard core working out, I get on the treadmill and watch a couple of shows on TV while I walk. Sometimes I just want to hurry up and get it over with so I brisk walk while listening to my mp3s. Whatever gets the job done.

I am still not a size 4, I don’t expect to be, but I do feel better. Today I wore a skirt and a shirt from Maurices and I felt… OK.

I DREAD getting on that treadmill every night, but it seems like it’s really getting easier.
It’s getting easier to say NO to food too.

Especially when I think about how hard I am going to work out that night… And if that food is really worth all that hard work to only stay at 1200 calories. Do I make sense?

3. I am still very very busy at work. I promise I will be back to update regularly. I still very much enjoy reading your blogs when I get a chance. Especially before bed time, I check my facebook stuff, and the OD bookmarks.  I just don’t have time to note!
